Clinical Trial: Chest Compression and Sustained Inflation

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Chest Compression and Sustained Inflation for Asystole or Bradycardia in Newborn Infants

Brief Summary: Guidelines on neonatal resuscitation recommend 90 chest compressions (CC) and 30 manual inflations (3:1) per minute in newborns. The study aimed to determine if CC s during sustained inflations (SI) improves recovery of asphyxiated newborns compared to coordinated 3:1 resuscitation.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University of Alberta

Current Primary Outcome: Time needed to achieve Return of Spontaneous Circulation [ Time Frame: within the first 10 minutes after birth ]

We aim to reduce time needed to achieve Return of Spontaneous Circulation. This should be achieved by the experimental chest compression technique


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
