Background: Randomized control trials or observational studies showed that the use of public-access automated external defibrillator (AED) was effective for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, it is unclear whether public-access AED use is effective for all patients with OHCA irrespective of first documented rhythm. We aimed to evaluate the effect of public-access AED use for OHCA patients considering first documented rhythm (shockable or non-shockable) in public locations. Methods: From the Utstein-style registry in Osaka City, Japan, we obtained information on adult patients with OHCA of medical origin in public locations before emergency-medical-service personnel arrival between 2011 and 2015. The primary outcome was one-month survival with favorable neurological outcome. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between the public-access AED pad application and favorable neurological outcome after OHCA by using one-to-one propensity score matching analysis. Results: Among 1743 eligible patients, a total of 336 (19.3%) victims received public-access AED pad application. The proportion of patients who survived one-month with favorable neurological outcome was significantly higher in the pad application group than in the non-pad application group (29.8% vs. 9.7%; adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 2.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.73-4.68, AOR after propensity score matching, 2.83; 95% CI, 1.40-5.72). In a subgroup analysis, the AOR of patients with shockable or non-shockable rhythms was 3.36 (95% CI, 1.78-6.35) and 2.38 (95% CI, 0.89-6.34), respectively. Conclusions: Public-access AED pad application was associated with better outcome among OHCA patients with shockable rhythm and the trend was the same among those with non-shockable rhythm.

ObjectivesThe presence of a bystander witness is a crucial predictor of patient survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, the differences in survival and neurological outcomes among different types of citizen bystanders are not well understood.DesignWe analysed data from the All-Japan Utstein Registry, a prospective, nationwide, population-based, observational study that was started in January 2005.SettingThe registry includes all patients with OHCA who were transported to the hospital by emergency medical service (EMS) in Japan. The type of citizen bystander was classified as family member, friend, colleague, passerby or other.ParticipantsWe analysed 210 642 patients in the registry who were 18 years or older and experienced OHCA of cardiac origin witnessed by a citizen bystander between 2005 and 2014.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe main outcomes were 1 month survival and 1 month survival with minimal neurological impairment.ResultsOf the citizen bystander-witnessed cases, 65.1% (137 147/210 642) were witnessed by a family member. However, among patients who survived to 1 month and who had a favourable 1 month neurological outcome, much lower proportions (53.9% (10 907/20 239) and 48.9% (5722/11 696)) were witnessed by a family member. Witness by a friend, colleague or passerby was associated with good 1 month neurological function, after controlling for the patient’s age, first recorded rhythm, gender, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use of a public-access automated external defibrillator, dispatcher instructions, collapse-call time and response time compared with witness by a family member (friend: OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.24 to 1.46, colleague: OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.33 to 1.98, passerby: OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.39 to 1.84).ConclusionsOne-month survival and favourable1 month neurological outcome of patients with OHCA of cardiac origin witnessed by a family member were worse than those in cases witnessed by a friend, colleague or passerby, independent of the patient characteristics and the response of EMS.

Background: The 2010 guidelines have stressed that systematic post-cardiac arrest care after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) can improve the likelihood of patient survival with good neurological outcome. However, the 2010 guidelines showed that induced therapeutic hypothermia may be considered for comatose adult patients with ROSC after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with an initial rhythm of non-shockable (Class IIb). It is unknown whether the post-cardiac arrest care for patients with non-shockable cardiac arrest contributed to favorable neurological outcome. The aim of the present study was to clarify the effects of the 2010 guidelines in patients with ROSC after cardiac arrest due to non-shockable rhythm, using the data of the All-Japan Utstein Registry, a prospective, nationwide, population-based registry of OHCA. Methods: From the data of this registry between 2005 and 2015, we included adult patients with ROSC after out-of-hospital non-shockable cardiac arrest due to cardiac etiology. Study patients were divided into three groups based on the different CPR guidelines; the era of the 2000 guidelines (2000G), the era of the 2005 guidelines (2005G), and the era of the 2010 guidelines (2010G). The endpoint was favorable neurological outcome at 30 days after OHCA. Results: The 31,204 patients who met the inclusion criteria comprised 25,045 with ROSC before arrival at the hospital and 6,259 with ROSC after hospital arrival without prehospital ROSC. Figure showed favorable neurological outcome at 30 days in the three groups. Moreover, multivariable analysis showed that the 2010 guidelines were an independent predictor of favorable neurological outcome at 30 days after OHCA, respectively (Figure). Conclusion: In the patients with ROSC after out-of-hospital non-shockable cardiac arrest, the 2010 guidelines were superior to the 2005 guidelines and the 2000 guidelines, in terms of neurological benefits.

Introduction: The optimal timing of epinephrine administration in shockable initial rhythm out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is unclear. Hypothesis: Early compared to late epinephrine following first electrical defibrillation attempt is associated with better outcomes in shockable initial rhythm OHCA. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in adults with shockable initial rhythm OHCA from 2011-2015 in North America. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess associations between timing of epinephrine and prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to hospital discharge, and hospital discharge with favorable neurological outcome (modified Rankin Scale score≤3). We used propensity-score-matching and subgroup analyses to assess robustness of associations. Results: Of 6416 patients, median age was 64 (IQR: 54-74) years, 5136 (80%) were men, 2226 (35%) received epinephrine within four minutes after first defibrillation, 5119 (80%), 1237 (19%), and 996 (16%) had prehospital ROSC, survival to hospital discharge, and favorable neurological outcome at discharge respectively. Adjusted for confounders, we observed lower odds of prehospital ROSC (OR=0.95, 95%CI 0.94-0.96; p<0.001), survival to hospital discharge (OR=0.91, 95%CI 0.89-0.92; p<0.001), and favorable neurological outcomes at discharge (OR=0.92, 95%CI 0.90-0.93; p<0.001) per minute later epinephrine administration. Compared to epinephrine administration within four minutes following first defibrillation attempt, later epinephrine was associated with lower odds of prehospital ROSC (OR=0.58, 95%CI 0.51-0.68; p<0.001), survival to hospital discharge (OR=0.50, 95%CI 0.43-0.58; p<0.001), and favorable neurological outcome at discharge (OR=0.51, 95%CI 0.43-0.59; p<0.001). Associations remained significant in a well-balanced propensity score matched cohort and subgroup analyses by witness status, EMS response time, and total epinephrine dose. Conclusion: In shockable initial rhythm OHCA, early compared to late epinephrine administration following first defibrillation attempt was associated with better odds of prehospital ROSC, survival to hospital discharge, and hospital discharge with favorable neurological outcome.

Background: The 2015 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines have stressed that high-quality CPR improves survival from cardiac arrest (CA). In particular, the guidelines recommended that it is reasonable for rescuers to perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120/min in adult CA patients. However, it is unknown whether the 2015 guidelines contributed to favorable neurological outcome in adult CA patients. The present study aimed to clarify the effects of the 2015 guidelines in adult CA patients, using the data of the All-Japan Utstein Registry, a prospective, nationwide, population-based registry of out-of-hospital CA (OHCA). Methods: From the data of this registry between 2011 and 2016, we included adult witnessed OHCA patients due to cardiac etiology, who had non-shockable rhythm, PEA and asystole, as an initial rhythm. Study patients were divided into two groups based on the different CPR guidelines; the era of the 2010 guidelines (2010G), and the era of the 2015 guidelines (2015G). The endpoint was the favorable neurological outcome at 30 days after OHCA. Results: The 109,175 patients who met the inclusion criteria comprised 18,764 who received CPR based on 2015G and 90,411 who received CPR based on 2010G. The figure showed favorable neurological outcomes at 30 days in the two groups. In the multivariate analysis, the adjusted odds ratio for 30-day favorable neurological outcome in 2015G patients as compared to 2010G patients was 1.28 (95%CI 1.11-1.46, p<0.001). Conclusion: In the OHCA patients with non-shockable rhythm, the 2015 guidelines were superior to the 2010 guidelines, in terms of neurological benefits.

Introduction: In out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients during shockable rhythm, the epinephrine administration after second defibrillation is recommended by the 2015 ILCOR/CoSTR guidelines. However, there is insufficient evidence regarding the proper timing of epinephrine administration particularly in relation to defibrillation. Hypothesis: The timing of epinephrine after first defibrillation (D-E interval) was associated with clinical outcome in OHCA patients. Methods: Between 2011 and 2016, we enrolled 753,025 OHCA patients from nationwide prospective population-based registry in Japan. Following exclusion criteria, a total of 1,559 patients with witnessed by bystanders and shockable rhythm on the initial electrocardiogram who administrated epinephrine after defibrillation by emergency medical service personnel and obtained return of spontaneous circulation in prehospital setting were eligible for the study. We evaluated the association between D-E interval and favorable neurological outcome (cerebral performance category: 1 or 2) at 30 days. To evaluate predictor for better neurological outcome, study patients were categorized as every 2 minutes up to 20 minutes, and more than 20 minutes. Results: Patients with favorable neurological outcome were 22% (N=348). Patients with favorable neurological outcome had a shorter D-E interval than those with non-favorable neurological outcome (7.9±4.1vs 10.2±5.3 min, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that D-E interval at more than 10 minutes, when D-E interval at 2 to 3 minutes as defined reference, was a significant predictor for non-favorable neurological outcome ( Table ). Conclusion: Delayed epinephrine administration after first defibrillation (D-E interval >10 minutes) was significantly associated with non-favorable neurological outcome.

Background: The 2010 guidelines have stressed that systematic post-cardiac arrest care after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) can improve the likelihood of patient survival with good neurological outcome. Especially, the 2010 guidelines recommended that comatose adult patients with ROSC after out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest should be induced therapeutic hypothermia (Class I). However, it is unknown whether the post-cardiac arrest care which was recommended by the 2010 guidelines contributed to favorable neurological outcome. The aim of the present study was to clarify the effects of the 2010 guidelines in patients with ROSC after cardiac arrest due to shockable rhythm, using the data of the All-Japan Utstein Registry, a prospective, nationwide, population-based registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: From the data of this registry between 2005 and 2015, we included adult patients with ROSC after out-of-hospital shockable cardiac arrest due to cardiac etiology. Study patients were divided into three groups based on the different CPR guidelines; the era of the 2000 guidelines (2000G), the era of the 2005 guidelines (2005G), and the era of the 2010 guidelines (2010G). The primary endpoint was favorable neurological outcome at 30 days after OHCA. Results: The 30,518 patients who met the inclusion criteria comprised 24,729 with ROSC before arrival at the hospital and 5,789 with ROSC after hospital arrival without prehospital ROSC. Figure showed favorable neurological outcome at 30 days in the three groups. Moreover, multivariable analysis showed that the 2010 guidelines were an independent predictor of favorable neurological outcome at 30 days after OHCA, respectively (Figure). Conclusion: In the patients with ROSC after out-of-hospital shockable cardiac arrest, the 2010 guidelines were superior to the 2005 guidelines and the 2000 guidelines, in terms of neurological benefits.
