Automatic Ventilation in Prehospital Resuscitation on OHCA
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare prehospital ventilation strategies in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The intervention group is automatic ventilation and the control group is manual ventilation. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does automatic ventilation affect OHCA patients' survival and prognosis comparing to manual ventilation. 2. What are the differences on resuscitation qualities between automatic ventilation and manual ventilation.

Conditions
Interventions
Automatic ventilation
The FDA-approved device used is "Meditech" MICROVENT RESUSCITATOR, which is connected to the endotracheal tube, supraglottic airway or tracheostomy tube. It is powered by the airflow from the oxygen tank and provides ventilation in fixed interval. It has a pressure valve which will release the pressure once the airway pressure exceeds its threshold. In the current study, the threshold is set at 60 mmH2O. The tidal volume is set at 500-600 ml.
Manual ventilation
The adult size bag-valve mask is connected to the endotracheal tube, supraglottic airway or tracheostomy tube. The interval, pressure and volume of the ventilation is controlled by the emergency medical technicians.
