Measuring air volumes delivered during in-hospital cardiac arrest

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the actual volumes of air delivered to patients' lungs during resuscitation attempts for in-hospital cardiac arrest. It compares the effectiveness of different airway devices used by rescuers to provide ventilation. Using a non-intrusive device, the study measures airflow in real-time while patients are undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Participants will be those already enrolled in the AIRWAYS-3 trial, ensuring a consistent approach to patient care and data collection.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* As per AIRWAYS-3 trial:
* In-hospital cardiac arrest, attended by the hospital cardiac arrest team in response to a cardiac arrest call (2222 or equivalent), and when a clinician permitted to undertake both tracheal intubation and supraglottic airway placement (so that either intervention can be delivered) is present
* Undergoing resuscitation and requiring advanced airway management in the opinion of the trained clinician responsible for randomisation

Exclusion Criteria:

* As per AIRWAYS-3 trial
* Patients who have a cardiac arrest outside hospital and who are transported to the hospital in ongoing cardiac arrest
* People who are not a hospital inpatient (e.g. visitor, relative, staff or outpatient)
* Patients who are already tracheally intubated at the time of eligibility assessment
* Patients known to be pregnant
* Patients with a functioning tracheostomy
