Abstract Background Data on the effects of witness status and time from an emergency call to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by emergency medical service (EMS) providers on neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with non-shockable rhythm according to the first documented rhythm are limited. Purpose We aimed to determine the effects of witness status and time from an emergency call to CPR initiation by EMS providers on neurologically intact survival in OHCA patients according to the type of non-shockable rhythm (pulseless electrical activity [PEA] and asystole). Methods We analysed the records of 583,431 adult OHCA patients with non-shockable rhythm (191,905 bystander-witnessed arrest and 391,526 unwitnessed arrest). Data were derived from the prospectively recorded All-Japan OHCA registry between 2011 and 2016. Call to EMS-CPR interval was defined as the time from an emergency call to CPR initiation by EMS providers. The primary outcome was 1-month neurologically intact survival (cerebral performance category 1 or 2; CPC 1–2) and secondary outcome was presence of PEA. Results The rates of 1-month CPC 1–2 were 1.21% (2,326/191,905) for bystander-witnessed arrest and 0.24% (959/391,526) for unwitnessed arrest. When divided into 4 groups based on witness status and initial documented rhythm, these rates were 2.42% (1,869/77,190) for bystander-witnessed arrest with PEA (group A), 0.40% (457/114,715) for bystander-witnessed arrest with asystole (group B), 1.51% (679/44,926) for unwitnessed arrest with PEA (group C) and 0.08% (280/346,600) for unwitnessed arrest with asystole (group D). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed each 1-min delay of Call to EMS-CPR interval to be significantly associated with decreased chances of 1-month CPC 1–2 for groups A, B and D (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.95, 0.91 and 0.96, respectively; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.93–0.96, 0.88–0.94 and 0.93–0.99, respectively). However, for group C, there was no significant relationship between these variables (adjusted OR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.98–1.02). The proportion of PEA was 40.2% (77,190/191,905) for bystander-witnessed arrest and 11.5% (44,926/391,526) for unwitnessed arrest. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that, as Call to EMS-CPR interval lengthened (per 1-min delay), the number of OHCA patients with PEA decreased for bystander-witnessed arrest (adjusted OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.93–0.94) and for unwitnessed arrest (adjusted OR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.96–0.97). Conclusions The 1-month CPC 1–2 rate differed by witness status and initial documented rhythm in OHCA patients with non-shockable rhythm. Shortening of Call to EMS-CPR interval is crucial for improving 1-month CPC 1–2 rate and sustaining PEA, particularly in bystander-witnessed arrest.

Abstract Background The effects of prehospital epinephrine administration in combination with the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with non-shockable rhythm remains unclear. Purpose This study aimed to elucidate the effects of prehospital epinephrine administration in combination with the quality of CPR on neurologically intact survival in OHCA patients with non-shockable rhythm. Methods We analysed 118,732 adult OHCA patients with non-shockable rhythm from the All-Japan OHCA registry between 2011 and 2016 (29,989 emergency medical service [EMS]-witnessed arrests with EMS-initiated CPR [high-quality CPR] and 88,743 bystander-witnessed arrests with bystander-initiated CPR continued by EMS providers [low-quality CPR]). Patients who achieved prehospital return of spontaneous circulation without prehospital epinephrine administration were excluded. The primary outcome measure was 1-month neurologically intact survival (cerebral performance category 1 or 2; CPC 1–2). Time from collapse to prehospital epinephrine administration for patients with prehospital epinephrine administration, or to hospital arrival for patients without prehospital epinephrine administration was calculated and adjusted collectively in multivariate logistic regression analysis for 1-month CPC 1–2. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the time from collapse to prehospital epinephrine administration or to hospital arrival was negatively associated with 1-month CPC 1–2 (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.95 per 1-minute increment, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.94–0.96). Compared with bystander-witnessed arrests without prehospital epinephrine administration, EMS-witnessed arrests with or without prehospital epinephrine administration were significantly associated with increased chances of 1-month CPC 1–2 (adjusted OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.50–2.75 and adjusted OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.57–2.48, respectively). Prehospital epinephrine administration was significantly associated with an increased chance of 1-month CPC 1–2 among bystander-witnessed arrests (adjusted OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.24–1.98), but not among EMS-witnessed arrests. EMS-witnessed arrests without prehospital epinephrine administration were significantly associated with an increased chance of 1-month CPC 1–2 compared with bystander-witnessed arrests with prehospital epinephrine administration (adjusted OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.01–1.56). Conclusions High-quality CPR is crucial for increasing neurologically intact survival in OHCA patients with non-shockable rhythm. The additional beneficial effects of prehospital epinephrine administration were observed only among OHCA patients with low-quality CPR.

Background Little is known about the association between prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration for adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and outcome by the location of arrests. This study aimed to investigate the association between prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration and one-month survival with favourable neurological outcome. Methods We analysed 276,391 adults aged 18 years and older with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of medical origin before emergency medical service arrival. Prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration was defined as the time from emergency medical service-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation to prehospital return of spontaneous circulation or to hospital arrival. The primary outcome was one-month survival with favourable neurological outcome (cerebral performance category 1 or 2). The association between prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration and favourable neurological outcome was assessed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Results The proportion of favourable neurological outcomes was 2.3% in total, 7.6% in public locations, 1.5% in residential locations and 0.7% in nursing homes ( P < 0.001). In univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses, longer prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration was associated with poor neurological outcome, regardless of arrest location ( P for trend < 0.001). Patients with shockable rhythm in both public and residential locations had better neurological outcome than those in nursing homes at any time point, and residential and public locations had a similar neurological outcome tendency among patients with shockable rhythm. Conclusions Longer prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration was independently associated with a lower proportion of patients with favourable neurological outcomes. Moreover, the association between prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration and neurological outcome differed according to the location of arrest and the first documented rhythm.

Introduction: Prehospital variables associated with neurologically intact survival in elderly survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are unclear and could differ according to age. Methods: We evaluated 6,349 elderly patients with OHCA (age ≥ 65 years) of cardiac origin who achieved prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survived for at least 1-month after OHCA. Data were obtained from the prospectively recorded All-Japan Utstein Registry between 2011 and 2016. Patients witnessed by emergency medical service providers were excluded. The primary outcome was 1-month neurologically intact survival, defined as a cerebral performance category (CPC) score of 1-2. Patients were divided into three groups by age (65-74, 75-89, or ≥ 90 years). The time from call receipt to ROSC was calculated. Results: The rates of 1-month CPC 1-2 in patients aged 65-74, 75-89, and ≥ 90 years were 66.5% (2,079/3,125), 52.9% (1,557/2,943), and 42.7% (120/281), respectively (p for trend < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, initial shockable rhythm and witnessed arrest were significantly associated with 1-month CPC 1-2 for all age groups (Table). However, the presence of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was significantly associated with 1-month CPC 1-2 only for patients aged 65-74 years. Time from call receipt to ROSC was not associated with 1-month CPC 1-2 for patients aged ≥ 90 years. In recursive partitioning analysis, the best single predictor for 1-month CPC 1-2 was initial shockable rhythm for all age groups. The next predictor for patients aged 65-74 years with initial shockable rhythm was the presence of bystander CPR, whereas the witnessed arrest was the next predictor for patients aged 65-74 years with initial non-shockable rhythm and other age groups regardless of the initial rhythm. Conclusions: Prehospital variables associated with neurologically intact survival in elderly survivors after OHCA varied with age.

Abstract Introduction: For patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) without return of spontaneous circulation under advanced life support, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is the only lifesaving option. This study aimed to analyse the predictors of favourable neurological outcomes (FO, cerebral performance category 1-2) at hospital discharge among patients with OHCA following ECPR.Methods: In this single-centre retrospective study, 126 patients with OHCA who received ECPR between January 2012 and December 2019 were enrolled. The primary outcome was the FO at hospital discharge. The predictors of FO were assessed using multiple logistic regression analysis. Patients with an initial shockable rhythm were further analysed according to the cardiac rhythm at the time of hospital arrival. Results: Among the patients who received ECPR, the FO at hospital discharge was 21%. Certain resuscitation variables were associated with FO including witnessed collapse (P=0.014), bystander CPR (P=0.05), shorter no-flow time (P=0.008), and a shockable rhythm at hospital arrival (P=0.009). Multiple logistic regression showed that a shockable rhythm at hospital arrival was the only independent predictor of FO at discharge (odds ratio, 3.012; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-8.53; P=0.038). Among patients with an initial shockable rhythm, the group with a shockable rhythm at hospital arrival had a FO of 30%, which was significantly higher than the 11% in the non-shockable rhythm group (P=0.043).Conclusions: In patients with OHCA who received ECPR, a shockable rhythm at the time of hospital arrival was associated with favourable neurological outcomes at discharge. The ECPR selection criteria could consider the rhythm at hospital arrival.

Postanesthetic Shivering

Abstract Background Postanesthetic shivering is an unpleasant adverse event in surgical patients. A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug has been reported to be useful in preventing postanesthetic shivering in several previous studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of flurbiprofen axetil being a prodrug of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for preventing postanesthetic shivering in patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries. Method This study is a retrospective observational study. I collected data from patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries performed between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020, at Kumamoto City Hospital. All the patients were managed with general anesthesia with or without epidural analgesia. The administration of intravenous 50 mg flurbiprofen axetil for postoperative pain control at the end of the surgery was left to the individual anesthesiologist. The patients were divided into two groups: those who had received intravenous flurbiprofen axetil (flurbiprofen group) and those who had not received intravenous flurbiprofen axetil (non-flurbiprofen group), and I compared the frequency of postanesthetic shivering between the two groups. Additionally, the factors presumably associated with postanesthetic shivering were collected from the medical charts. Intergroup differences were assessed with the χ2 test with Yates’ correlation for continuity category variables. The Student’s t test was used to test for differences in continuous variables. Furthermore, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to elucidate the relationship between the administration of flurbiprofen axetil and the incidence of PAS. Results I retrospectively examined the cases of 141 patients aged 49 ± 13 (range 21-84) years old. The overall postanesthetic shivering rate was 21.3% (30 of the 141 patients). The frequency of postanesthetic shivering in the flurbiprofen group (n = 31) was 6.5%, which was significantly lower than that in the non-flurbiprofen group (n = 110), 25.5% (p value = 0.022). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that administration of flurbiprofen axetil was independently associated with a reduced incidence of postanesthetic shivering (odds ratio 0.12; 95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.66, p value = 0.015). Conclusions My result suggests that intraoperative 50 mg flurbiprofen axetil administration for postoperative pain control is useful to prevent postanesthetic shivering in patients undergoing gynecologic laparotomy surgeries.

Abstract Background This study aimed to explore predictive factors of time below target glucose range (TBR) ≥ 1% among patients’ characteristics and glycemic variability (GV) indices using continuous glucose monitoring data in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study on 179 (71 female) Japanese outpatients with type 2 diabetes aged ≥ 65 years. The characteristics of the participants with TBR ≥ 1% were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses of GV indices, comprising coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation, and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions, were performed to identify the optimal index for the identification of patients with TBR ≥ 1%. Results In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, none of the clinical characteristics, including HbA1c and C-peptide index, were independent markers for TBR ≥ 1%, while all three GV indices showed significant associations with TBR ≥ 1%. Among the three GV indices, CV showed the best performance based on the area under the curve in the ROC curve analyses. Conclusions Among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, CV reflected TBR ≥ 1% most appropriately among the GV indices examined. Trial registration UMIN-CTR: UMIN000029993.

Abstract Background Tissue expansion is used for scar reconstruction owing to its excellent clinical outcomes; however, the complications that emerge from tissue expansion hinder repair. Infection is considered a major complication of tissue expansion. This study aimed to analyze the perioperative risk factors for expander infection. Methods A large, retrospective, single-institution observational study was carried out over a 10-year period. The study enrolled consecutive patients who had undergone tissue expansion for scar reconstruction. Demographics, etiological data, expander-related characteristics and postoperative infection were assessed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify risk factors for expander infection. In addition, we conducted a sensitivity analysis for treatment failure caused by infection as an outcome. Results A total of 2374 expanders and 148 cases of expander infection were assessed. Treatment failure caused by infection occurred in 14 expanders. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that disease duration of ≤1 year (odds ratio (OR), 2.07; p &lt; 0.001), larger volume of expander (200–400 ml vs &lt;200 ml; OR, 1.74; p = 0.032; &gt;400 ml vs &lt;200 ml; OR, 1.76; p = 0.049), limb location (OR, 2.22; p = 0.023) and hematoma evacuation (OR, 2.17; p = 0.049) were associated with a high likelihood of expander infection. Disease duration of ≤1 year (OR, 3.88; p = 0.015) and hematoma evacuation (OR, 10.35; p = 0.001) were so related to high risk of treatment failure. Conclusions The rate of expander infection in patients undergoing scar reconstruction was 6.2%. Disease duration of &lt;1 year, expander volume of &gt;200 ml, limb location and postoperative hematoma evacuation were independent risk factors for expander infection.
