Title: AutoPulse Assisted Prehospital International Resuscitation Trial (ASPIRE)
Brief Summary: The AutoPulse Assisted Prehospital International Resuscitation (ASPIRE) Trial compares the efficacy of circulatory assist by manual chest compression versus an automated chest compression device (AutoPulse™) during the resuscitative attempt following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Unexpected adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest where an attempt of resuscitation is considered appropriate.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Traumatic cardiac arrest, including hanging
* Age believed to be less than 18 years (no upper limit)
* Known pregnancy
* Defibrillated before LUCAS Chest Compressions System arrives at scene
* Patients body size not fitting the LUCAS Chest Compression System
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patents aged 18 years (or local age of consent) or more who suffer non-traumatic arrest of presumed cardiac etiology in an out-of-hospital setting and who do not meet any of the exclusion criteria below.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Traumatic arrest (blunt, penetrating, burns)
* Arrest due to exsanguinations, strangulation, smoke inhalation, drug overdose, electrocution, hanging, drowning.
* Known or clinically apparent pregnancy
* Do Not Attempt to Resuscitate (DNAR) orders
* Apparent patient weight more than 225 kg (500 lbs)
* Wards of the state
* Prisoner
* CPR device other than AutoPulse
* Patients who are reached after 16 minutes after the time of emergency call (911). This exclusion is determined at the time of CRF abstraction, not during treatment of the patient.

  * If patient is unaccompanied, or accompanied by a person or persons unfamiliar with their his-tory, determination of these exclusion criteria will, perforce, be left to the best estimation of the rescue personnel. At no time, should an attempt to determine these criteria be allowed to delay the administration of life-saving treatment.

    * These criteria will be determined in the best estimation of the rescue personnel, or if the AutoPulse signals that the patient is outside the parameters for AutoPulse deployment.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* All persons of local age of consent or older who suffer non-traumatic cardiopulmonary arrest outside of the hospital in the study communities with defibrillation and/or delivery of chest compressions provided by emergency medical service (EMS) providers dispatched to the scene and do not meet any of the exclusion criteria.

Exclusion Criteria:

Common:

* Do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR) orders
* Blunt, penetrating, or burn-related injury
* Patients with exsanguinations
* Known prisoners
* Known pregnancy
* Non-ROC EMS agency/provider

For Analyzing Late versus Early

* EMS-witnessed arrests
* Non-EMS rhythm analysis (AED placed by police or lay responder is an exclusion but CPR by lay or other non-EMS responders is not)

For ITD:

* Tracheostomy present
* CPR performed with the mechanical compression "Autopulse" device.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* All persons with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who are attended by a vehicle involved in the randomization process and who are treated by the emergency medical service (EMS).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Persons under the age of 18
* Victims with traumatic arrest
* Less than the legal age of consent
* Resuscitation attempt discontinued because of do not resuscitate (DNR) orders or on request of authorized decision-maker
* Wards of the state, including prisoners
* Chest or abdominal surgery within 6 weeks
* Site specific exclusions
