Introduction: Although studies have shown that bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with better neurological prognosis, whether bystander and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) interventions are associated with prognosis in unwitnessed OHCA patients is not fully elucidated. We aimed to investigate the prognostic importance of bystander and EMS interventions among unwitnessed OHCA patients in Japan. Methods and Results: This study was a nation-wide population-based observational study of OHCA in Japan from 2011 to 2015 based on data from the All-Japan Utstein Registry. The outcome measures were neurological outcome and survival at 30-day. The neurologically favorable outcome was defined as Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance category score 1 or 2. First, to investigate the effectiveness of bystander interventions, we included 105,655 unwitnessed cardiogenic OHCA patients (aged 18-80 years). Of these, 1,614 (1.5%) showed neurologically favorable outcome and 3,273 (3.1%) survived at 30-day. Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, geographical region, year and EMS response time showed that bystander CPR was associated with neurologically favorable outcome (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.49, 95% CI 1.35-1.65, P<0.001). Additionally, to investigate the effectiveness of EMS interventions for patients with non-shockable rhythm, we examined 43,342 patients who were performed public CPR and had the initial rhythm of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) or asystole. Of these, 101 (0.2%) showed neurologically favorable outcome and 453 (1.0%) were survival at 30-day. Advanced airway management by EMS was negatively associated with neurologically favorable outcome (aOR 0.55, 95% CI 0.37-0.81, P=0.003) and administration of epinephrine by EMS was associated with survival (aOR 2.35, 95% CI 1.89-2.92, P<0.001). Conclusions: Among unwitnessed OHCA patients, bystander CPR was associated with neurologically favorable prognosis. For unwitnessed OHCA patients with non-shockable rhythm, epinephrine administration was associated with survival, but advanced airway management was negatively associated with neurological outcome.

Introduction: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has been reported to be effective in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in whom ventricular fibrillation (VF) as an initial rhythm were refractory to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, it remains unclear whether ECPR is effective even though cardiac rhythm would change from VF to non-VF during CPR. Methods: This multicenter prospective observational study was conducted in 46 hospitals. A total of 457 patients with OHCA aged 20-74 years in whom initial rhythm was VF and the duration from collapse to hospital arrival was within 45 minutes were originally registered. After given CPR for more than 15 minutes in hospital, these patients received combination therapy with ECPR including therapeutic hypothermia (TH), or not received. The patients underwent ECPR (n=250) were classified into the following 2 groups according to rhythm changes during CPR; Group-A (sustained VF; n=127) and Group-B (changing from VF initially to non-shockable rhythm; n=123). The endpoint was a favorable outcome defined as Cerebral Performance Category 1-2 at 6 months after collapse. Results: There were no significant differences of age, sex, time from collapse to ECPR start and the rate of TH between the 2 groups. The rate achieving favorable outcome was significantly higher in Group-A than Group-B. (19.7% vs. 3.3%, p<0.001) (Figure1). When focusing on sustained VF (Group-A), the rate achieving favorable outcome improved about 5.5-fold by ECPR (ECPR, n=127; 19.7% vs. non-ECPR, n=55; 3.6%, p<0.001) (Figure2). In the multivariate logistic-regression analysis, sustained VF during CPR was the strongest predictor for the favorable outcomes among the pre-hospital parameters including age, bystander CPR and time from collapse to ECPR (Odds ratio 4.43, p=0.018). Conclusions: These findings indicates that the patients with sustained VF seem to be a particular population that could merit ECPR.

Introduction: Females experience worse survival than males following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Proposed explanations include previous observations that females less often have an initial shockable rhythm or a witnessed arrest and less often receive bystander CPR. Methods: We utilized a prospective, population-based registry of patients experiencing OHCA responded to by EMS from 2011-2015. We included patients 18 years or older who were admitted to the hospital. Univariate comparisons were performed with chi-squared test for categorical variables and t-test for age. Additional analysis compared outcomes stratified by age > 50 years as a surrogate for menopausal status. A multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to evaluate the independent association of sex with outcomes. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge with Modified Rankin Score (MRS) ≤3. Results: Of 13,651 patients, 4894 were female and 8757 were male. The average age was 65 years for females and 64.2 years for males (P=0.005). Females were less likely than males to arrest in a public location (13% vs 27%; P <0.001), have bystander witnessed arrest (48% vs 57%; P <0.001), receive bystander CPR (44% vs 49%; P <0.001), have an initial shockable rhythm (29% vs 48%; P <0.001), have achieved ROSC upon ED arrival (76% vs 78%; P=0.014), have an ED arrival time less than 30 minutes from dispatch call (10% vs 12% P=0.008). Among males, 27% had a favorable outcome compared to 16% of females (P <0.0001). Among individuals of age ≤ 50 years, 31% of males and 26% of females had a favorable outcome (P= 0.004). Among those of age > 50 years, 26% of males and 14% of females had a favorable outcome (P <0.0001). After adjustment for differences in age and presentation, female sex was found to be independently associated with lower rates of survival with intact neurologic function (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.71-0.89, P =0.0001). Conclusions: Compared to males, females have less favorable OHCA presentations and worse survival to hospital discharge with preserved neurologic function. However, even after adjustment for the differences in presentation, female sex remains a significant predictor of worse survival with preserved neurologic function.

Abstract Background Initial reports have described the poor outcome of unexpected cardiac arrest (CA) in intensive care unit (ICU) among COVID-19 patients in China and the USA. However, there are scarce data on characteristics and outcomes of such CA patients in Europe. Methods Prospective registry in 35 French ICUs, including all in-ICU CA in COVID-19 adult patients with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) attempt. Favorable outcome was defined as modified Rankin scale ranging from 0 to 3 at day 90 after CA. Results Among the 2425 COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU from March to June 2020, 186 (8%) experienced in-ICU CA, of whom 146/186 (78%) received CPR. Among these 146 patients, 117 (80%) had sustained return of spontaneous circulation, 102 (70%) died in the ICU, including 48 dying within the first day after CA occurrence and 21 after withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy. Most of CA were non-shockable rhythm (90%). At CA occurrence, 132 patients (90%) were mechanically ventilated, 83 (57%) received vasopressors and 75 (51%) had almost three organ failures. Thirty patients (21%) had a favorable outcome. Sepsis-related organ failure assessment score > 9 before CA occurrence was the single parameter constantly associated with unfavorable outcome in multivariate analysis. Conclusions In-ICU CA incidence remains high among a large multicenter cohort of French critically ill adults with COVID-19. However, 21% of patients with CPR attempt remained alive at 3 months with good functional status. This contrasts with other recent reports showing poor outcome in such patients. Trial registration: This study was retrospectively registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NTC04373759) in April 2020 (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04373759?term=acicovid&draw=2&rank=1).

Purpose: Using the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) registry in Japan, we evaluated the effectiveness of pre-hospital advanced airway management under physicians’ presence after adjusting in-hospital treatments. Methods: This was a multicenter cohort study. We registered all consecutive OHCA patients in Japan who, from 1 June 2014 through 31 December 2017, were transported to institutions participating in the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine OHCA Registry. We included OHCA patients performed pre-hospital advanced airway management, who were ≥18 years of age with medical etiology and who received resuscitation from emergency medical services (EMS) personnel and medical professionals in hospitals. The primary outcome was one-month favorable neurological survival.We estimated the propensity score by fitting a logistic regression model that was adjusted for several variables before the arrival of EMS personnel and/ or pre-hospital physician. A multivariable logistic regression analysis in propensity score-matched patients was used to adjust confounders including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, percutaneous coronary intervention, intra-aortic balloon pumping, and targeted temperature management. Results: We analyzed 9,672 patients. Among them, 2.3% (N = 218) had a neurologically favorable outcome. The adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of pre-hospital advanced airway management under physicians’ presence compared with their absence for primary outcome was 0.96 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.61-1.51). Among first documented non-shockable cardiac rhythm, the AOR was 3.10 (95% CI: 1.05-10.77). Among first documented shockable cardiac rhythm, the AOR was 0.90 (95% CI: 0.53-1.53). Conclusion: In Japan, pre-hospital advanced airway management under physicians’ presence was not associated with one-month favorable neurological survival among patients with first documented shockable cardiac rhythm, whereas it was associated with a neurologically favorable outcome among patients with first documented non-shockable cardiac rhythm.

Introduction: After 20 to 30 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) without return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), cardiac arrest is considered as refractory (RCA). For RCA, extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) is one of the only treatments with a potential benefit on survival. Presence of gasping during CPR has been shown to be strongly associated with a favorable outcome. To our knowledge, signs of life during CPR (such as gasping, movements, pupillary response) has not been studied in the specific context of RCA treated with ECPR. Hypothesis: We assessed the relationship between survival with favorable neurologic outcomes and presence of early signs of life during or before CPR in RCA treated with ECPR. Methods: We carried out a multicenter observational study of patients with out-of-hospital RCA treated with ECPR in 3 cities in France. Primary outcome was favorable neurologic outcome at 30 days defined as CPC score ≤ 2. Signs of life were defined as gasping or recovery of normal breathing, any pupillary response or any movements during CPR. Patient selection for ECPR was decided according to french guidelines criteria such as initial rhythm, no-flow duration, expected transport time and EtCO2 > 10 mmHg. A logistic regression analysis was performed. P -values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Overall, 437 patients treated with ECPR were included with 71 (16%) patients with CPC ≤ 2 at 30 days. Signs of life were observed in 261 (59%) patients, with 136 (31%) patients presenting gasping or respiratory movement, 155 (35%) a pupillary response, and 49 (11%) movements during CPR. Overall 63/261 (24.1%) patients with signs life survived with favorable neurologic outcome vs. 8/176 (4.5%) without signs of life, p<0.0001. In multivariate analysis, factors associated with favorable outcome were: signs of life during CPR (OR 11.0, 95%CI 3.7-32.5; p<0.001), first recorded rhythm VF/VT (OR 3.4, 95%CI 1.3-8.9; P=0.011), low-flow duration per min (OR 0.99, 95%CI 0.98-1.00; p=0.032). Conclusions: These results highlight the importance of signs of life before or during CPR on neurological outcomes for RCA treated with ECPR. These results could help select patients with good chance of survival in whom we should not give up resuscitation efforts too soon.
