Biomarkers are of particular interest because they are unaffected by interpretation bias. We assessed the predictive value of serum neurofilament light chains (NF-L) in patients with a shockable rhythm who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and evaluated the predictive value of a modified algorithm where NF-L dosage is included. Methods: All patients who were included participated in the randomized ISOCRATE trial. NF-L values 48 h after ROSC were compared for patients with a good (Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 1 or 2) and a poor prognosis (CPC 3 to 5 or death). The benefit of adding NF-L dosage to the current guideline algorithm was then assessed for NF-L thresholds of 500 and 1,200 pg/ml as previously described. Results: NF-L was assayed for 49 patients. In patients with good versus those with poor outcomes, median NF-L values at 48 h were 72 ± 78 and 7,755 ± 9,501 pg/ml respectively (P < 0.0001; AUC [95 %CI] = 0.87 [0.74;0.99]). The sensitivity of the modified ESICM/ERC 2021 algorithm after adding NF-L with thresholds of 500 and 1,200 pg/ml was 0.74 (CI 95% 0.51–0.88) and 0.68 (CI 95% 0.46–0.86), respectively, versus 0.53 (CI 95% 0.32–0.73) for the unmodified algorithm. In three instances the specificity was 1. Conclusion: High NF-L plasma levels 48 h after cardiac arrest was significantly associated with a poor outcome. Adjunction to the current guideline algorithm of an NF-L assay with a 500 pg/ml threshold 48 h after cardiac arrest provided the best sensitivity compared to the algorithm alone, while specificity remained excellent.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of inpatients in a freestanding children's hospital. We included all patients younger than 18 years of age with in-hospital cardiac arrest between December 2012 and December 2019, who achieved return of circulation (ROC) for longer than 20 minutes, survived at least 24 hours after cardiac arrest, and had documented PaO2 or SpO2 during the first 24 hours after ROC. Hyperoxia was defined as having at least one level of PaO2 above 200 mmHg in the first 24 hours after cardiac arrest. Results: There were 187 patients who met eligibility criteria, of whom 48% had hyperoxia during the first 24 hours after cardiac arrest. In-hospital mortality was 41%, with similar mortality between oxygenation groups (hyperoxia 45% vs no hyperoxia 38%). We did not observe an association between hyperoxia and in-hospital mortality or poor neurological outcome after adjusting for confounders (odds ratio 1.2, 95% confidence interval 0.5–2.8). On sensitivity analysis using two additional cutoffs of PaO2 (>150 mmHg and > 300 mmHg), there was also no association with in-hospital mortality or poor neurological outcome after adjusting for confounders. Similarly, on multivariable logistic regression using SpO2 > 99% as the exposure, there was no difference in the frequency of death or poor neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Conclusion: Hyperoxia after pediatric cardiac arrest was common and was not associated with worse in-hospital outcomes.

This study aimed to evaluate the long-term (1-year and beyond) survival outcomes, including overall survival and survival with favorable neurological status and the quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes, among patients who survived the initial OHCA event (30 days or till hospital discharge). Methods: Embase, Medline and PubMed were searched for primary studies (randomized controlled trials, cohort and cross-sectional studies) which reported the long-term survival outcomes of OHCA patients. Data abstraction and quality assessment was conducted, and survival at predetermined timepoints were assessed via single-arm meta-analyses of proportions, using generalized linear mixed models. Comparative meta-analyses were conducted using the Mantel-Haenszel Risk Ratio (RR) estimates, using the DerSimonian and Laird model. Results: 67 studies were included, and among patients that survived to hospital discharge or 30-days, 77.3% (CI = 71.2–82.4), 69.6% (CI = 54.5–70.3), 62.7% (CI = 54.5–70.3), 46.5% (CI = 32.0–61.6), and 20.8% (CI = 7.8–44.9) survived to 1-, 3-, 5-, 10- and 15-years respectively. Compared to Asia, the probability of 1-year survival was greater in Europe (RR = 2.1, CI = 1.8–2.3), North America (RR = 2.0, CI = 1.7–2.2) and Oceania (RR = 1.9, CI = 1.6–2.1). Males had a higher 1-year survival (RR:1.41, CI = 1.25–1.59), and patients with initial shockable rhythm had improved 1-year (RR = 3.07, CI = 1.78–5.30) and 3-year survival (RR = 1.45, CI = 1.19–1.77). OHCA occurring in residential locations had worse 1-year survival (RR = 0.42, CI = 0.25–0.73). Conclusion: Our study found that up to 20.8% of OHCA patients survived to 15-years, and survival was lower in Asia compared to the other regions. Further analysis on the differences in survival between the regions are needed to direct future long-term treatment of OHCA patients.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2021 Elsevier B.V.Background: Early recognition and rapid defibrillation of shockable rhythms is strongly associated with survival in out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Little is known about the accuracy of paramedic rhythm interpretation and its impact on survival. We hypothesized that inaccurate paramedic interpretation of initial rhythm would be associated with worse survival. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort analysis of prospectively collected OHCA data over a nine-year period within a single, urban, fire-based EMS system that utilizes manual defibrillators equipped with rhythm-filtering technology. We compared paramedic-documented initial rhythm with a reference standard of post-event physician interpretation to estimate sensitivity and specificity of paramedic identification of and shock delivery to shockable rhythms. We assessed the association between misclassification of initial rhythm and neurologically intact survival to hospital discharge using multivariable logistic regression. Results: A total of 863 OHCA cases were available for analysis with 1,756 shocks delivered during 542 (63%) resuscitation attempts. Eleven percent of shocks were delivered to pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Sensitivity and specificity for paramedic initial rhythm interpretation were 176/197 (0.89, 95% CI 0.84–0.93) and 463/504 (0.92, 95% CI 0.89–0.94) respectively. No patient survived to hospital discharge when paramedics misclassified the initial rhythm. Conclusions: Paramedics achieved high sensitivity for shock delivery to shockable rhythms, but with an 11% shock delivery rate to PEA. Misclassification of initial rhythm was associated with poor survival. Technologies that assist in rhythm identification during CPR, rapid shock delivery, and minimal hands-off time may improve outcomes.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2021 Elsevier B.V.Background: Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by an out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest (OHCA) may vary widely in their probability of dying. Large variation in mortality may have implications for current national efforts to benchmark operator and hospital mortality rates for coronary angiography. We aimed to build a risk-adjustment model of in-hospital mortality among OHCA survivors with concurrent STEMI. Methods: Within the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES), we included adults with OHCA and STEMI who underwent emergent angiography within 2 hours of hospital arrival between January 2013 and December 2019. Using multivariable logistic regression to adjust for patient and cardiac arrest factors, we developed a risk-adjustment model for in-hospital mortality and examined variation in patients’ predicted mortality. Results: Of 2,999 patients (mean age 61.2 ± 12.0, 23.1% female, 64.6% white), 996 (33.2%) died during their hospitalization. The final risk-adjustment model included higher age (OR per 10-year increase, 1.50 [95% CI: 1.39–1.63]), unwitnessed OHCA (OR, 2.51 [1.99–3.16]), initial non-shockable rhythm [OR, 5.66 [4.52–7.13]), lack of sustained pulse for > 20 minutes (OR, 2.52 [1.88–3.36]), and longer resuscitation time (increased with each 10-minute interval) (c-statistic = 0.804 with excellent calibration). There was large variability in predicted mortality: median, 25.2%, inter-quartile-range: 14.0% to 47.8%, 10th-90th percentile: 8.2 % to 74.1%. Conclusions: In a large national registry, we identified 5 key predictors for mortality in patients with STEMI and OHCA and found wide variability in mortality risk. Our findings suggest that current national benchmarking efforts for coronary angiography, which simply adjusts for the presence of OHCA, may not adequately capture patient case-mix severity.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2021 The Author(s)Aim: To perform a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis of vasopressin and glucocorticoids for the treatment of cardiac arrest. Methods: The PRISMA-IPD guidelines were followed. We searched Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for randomized trials comparing vasopressin and glucocorticoids to placebo during cardiac arrest. The population included adults with cardiac arrest in any setting. Pairs of investigators reviewed studies for relevance, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analyses were conducted using individual participant data. A Bayesian framework was used to estimate posterior treatment effects assuming various prior beliefs. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using GRADE. Results: Three trials were identified including adult in-hospital cardiac arrests only. Individual participant data were obtained from all trials yielding a total of 869 patients. There was some heterogeneity in post-cardiac arrest interventions between the trials. The results favored vasopressin and glucocorticoids for return of spontaneous circulation (odds ratio: 2.09, 95%CI: 1.54 to 2.84, moderate certainty). Estimates for survival at discharge (odds ratio: 1.39, 95%CI: 0.90 to 2.14, low certainty) and favorable neurological outcome (odds ratio: 1.64, 95%CI, 0.99 to 2.72, low certainty) were more uncertain. The Bayesian estimates for return of spontaneous circulation were consistent with the primary analyses, whereas the estimates for survival at discharge and favorable neurological outcome were more dependent on the prior belief. Conclusions: Among adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest, vasopressin and glucocorticoids compared to placebo, improved return of spontaneous circulation. Larger trials are needed to determine whether there is an effect on longer-term outcomes.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2021 Elsevier B.V.Aim: To evaluate the effect of resuscitation training and continuous electronic heart rate (HR) monitoring of non-breathing newborns on identification of stillbirth. Methods: We conducted a pre-post interventional trial in three health facilities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We collected data on a retrospective control group of newborns that reflected usual resuscitation practice (Epoch 1). In the prospective, interventional group, skilled birth attendants received resuscitation training in Helping Babies Breathe and implemented continuous electronic HR monitoring of non-breathing newborns (Epoch 2). Our primary outcome was the incidence of stillbirth with secondary outcomes of fresh or macerated stillbirth, neonatal death before discharge and perinatal death. Among a subset, we conducted expert review of electronic HR data to estimate misclassification of stillbirth in Epoch 2. We used a generalized estimating equation, adjusted for variation within-facility, to compare risks between EPOCHs. Results: There was no change in total stillbirths following resuscitation training and continuous electronic HR monitoring of non-breathing newborns (aRR 1.15 [0.95, 1.39]). We observed an increased rate of macerated stillbirth (aRR 1.58 [1.24, 2.02]), death before discharge (aRR 3.31 [2.41, 4.54]), and perinatal death (aRR 1.61 [1.38, 1.89]) during the intervention period. In expert review, 20% of newborns with electronic HR data that were classified by SBAs as stillborn were liveborn. Conclusion: Resuscitation training and use of continuous electronic HR monitoring did not reduce stillbirths nor eliminate misclassification.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2021 Elsevier B.V.Aim: The survival rate of patients with traumatic cardiac arrest is 3% or lower. Cardiac arrest witnessed by emergency medical services (EMS) accounts for approximately 16% of prehospital traumatic cardiac arrests, but the prognosis is unknown. We aimed to compare the 1-month survival rate of cardiac arrest witnessed by EMS with that of cardiac arrest witnessed by bystanders and unwitnessed cardiac arrest in traffic trauma victims; further, the time from injury to cardiac arrest was assessed. Methods: This analysis used the Utstein Registry in Japan and included data of 3883 patients with traumatic cardiac arrest caused by traffic collisions registered between 2014 and 2019 in Japan. Results: The 1-month survival rate was 10.9% in the EMS-witnessed cardiac arrest group; this was significantly higher than that in the bystander-witnessed (7.2%) and unwitnessed (5.6%) cardiac arrest groups (P < 0.01). The median time from injury to cardiac arrest was 18 min (25% quartile: 12, 75% quartile: 26). Conclusion: The 1-month survival rate was significantly higher in the EMS-witnessed cardiac arrest group than in the bystander-witnessed and unwitnessed cardiac arrest groups. It is important to prevent progression to cardiac arrest in trauma patients with intact respiratory function and pulse rate at the time of contact with EMS. A system for early recognition of severe trauma is needed, and a doctor's car or helicopter can be requested as needed. We believe that early recognition and prompt intervention will improve the prognosis of prehospital traumatic cardiac arrest.
