International Device Assisted Controlled Sequential Elevation CPR Registry
Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute
Summary
The purpose of this prospective observational cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) registry is to track the use and clinical outcomes from emergency medical systems across the US and Europe that have implemented a system of care approach applied rapidly to cardiac arrest that includes using the combination of an impedance threshold device (ITD), and either manual active compression-decompression (ACD) CPR device or automated compression device, with a Head Up CPR device.
Description
In 2019, a FDA approved patient positioning device capable of elevating the head and thorax in a controlled manner became commercially available. As emergency medical services are increasingly using this Head Up CPR patient positioning device as part of their standard protocol for cardiac arrest patients, in addition to Active Compression-Decompression (ACD) cardiopulmonary resuscitation with an Impedance Threshold Device (ITD) CPR or with mechanical CPR and the ITD, it is important to monitor how this device is being used, and outcomes of patients who received this Head Up CPR therapy. All of…

Inclusion Criteria 1. Patient is at least 18 years of age 2. Patient is in active cardiac arrest, as defined by presence of either ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, or pulseless electrical activity, or asystole at time of enrollment. 3. Patient receives either a) active-compression decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation b) automated suction-cup based CPR with an impedance threshold device (ITD) c) manual CPR with an ITD 4.

Interventions
- DeviceHead Up CPR based bundle of care
All patients in this registry receive the intervention, a Head Up Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) based bundle of care. This bundle of care includes the use of multiple FDA approved devices. The components of the Head Up CPR bundle are 1) a single or combination of CPR methods including manual, active-compression decompression CPR, or automated suction-cup based CPR 2) An impedance threshold device 3) An automated patient positioning device capable of elevating the head and thorax
