Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this pilot, pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is to evaluate if a modified cardiac arrest treatment algorithm calling for the administration of the initial amiodarone dose one 2-minute cycle earlier than current guidelines (during the same cycle as the initial dose of epinephrine) improves the time to amiodarone delivery in those with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to refractory ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia compared to usual care.
Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this pilot, pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is to evaluate if a modified cardiac arrest treatment algorithm calling for the administration of the initial amiodarone dose one 2-minute cycle earlier than current guidelines (during the same cycle as the initial dose of epinephrine) improves the time to amiodarone delivery in those with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to refractory ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia compared to usual care.
The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in time to amiodarone delivery, relative to emergency medical services (EMS) arrival on-scene or time of arrest if witnessed by EMS, in the modified protocol calling for earlier amiodarone administration compared to usual care.
Evaluated secondary outcomes will include the proportion of patients receiving amiodarone before their third defibrillation, pulses present at emergency department arrival, survival to hospital discharge, neurologically intact survival at hospital discharge, timing to other critical EMS interventions, and clinical adverse events.
