Cardiac Arrest Bundle of cARE Trial (CABARET) survey of current UK neuroprotective CPR practice

Abstract

Despite low out of hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) survival rates within the UK, animal studies hint at improved cerebral blood flow via a bundled neuroprotective CPR approach. The CABARET study introduces three key devices: the Head Up Position (HUP), Active Compression/Decompression (ACD) CPR, and the Impedance Threshold Device (ITD). A survey involving 27 UK pre-hospital critical care services indicated none are using these interventions widely, either alone or bundled. The CABARET team is now initiating a pilot study to investigate the feasibility of this CPR bundle, aiming to fill the prevailing evidence void in resuscitation research.

Keywords: Active compression/decompression CPR (ACE); Head Up CPR (HUP); Impedance Threshold Device (ITD); Neuroprotective CPR.
