Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine whether there is a difference in return of spontaneous circulation depending on the type of vascular access (intravenous or intraosseous) placed during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest;Secondary Objective: To determine whether there is a difference in survival at 30 days and/or survival at 30 days with a favorable neurological outcome (modified Rankin Scale, mRS 0-3) depending on the type of vascular access (intravenous or intraosseous) placed during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) ROSC is defined as palpable pulses or other signs of circulation without a need for chest compressions. Sustained ROSC means that the patient withholds ROSC >20 min;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The endpoint is evaluated during ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Key secondary outcomes will include survival as well as neurological outcome at 30 days. Neurological outcome will be assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS); scores 0-6 will be presented as counts and percentages, while the outcome will be dichotomized as favorable (mRS 0-3) vs. unfavorable (mRS 4-6).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days after the cardiac arrest | — |
