Background: Studies suggest that blood lactate differs between survivors and non-survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who are transported to hospital. The prognostic role of lactate taken during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains unexplored. Aims: To measure the association between lactate taken during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, survival to hospital and 30-day mortality. Methods: This is a feasibility, single-centre, prospective cohort study. Eligible for inclusion are patients aged ≥18 years suffering out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation, in the catchment of Newcastle or Gateshead hospitals, who are attended to by a study-trained specialist paramedic. Exclusions are known/apparent pregnancy, blunt or penetrating injury as primary cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and an absence of intravenous access. Between February 2020 and March 2021, 100 participants will be enrolled. Primary outcome is survival to hospital; secondary outcomes are return of spontaneous circulation at any time and 30-day mortality.

Background: Previous studies have shown that comatose survivors of cardiac arrest awaken approximately 3 days after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) however, variability in time to awakening is frequently observed. Recent data has shown that women metabolize drugs (sedatives and paralytics) differently than men. It is unknown if there are sex based differences in time to awakening for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, and if this phenomenon might be affected by differences in withdrawal of life sustaining therapy (WLST). Objective: To determine if comatose women have different times to awakening after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Methods: We analyzed 327 consecutive charts from a single center registry of all out of hospital cardiac arrest patients who had return of spontaneous circulation but remained comatose, cared for at an urban academic tertiary care hospital. Patient demographic and arrest characteristics were abstracted. We identified day of awakening for comatose survivors by abstracting day when Glasgow coma motor score was 6 as documented in nursing flowsheets. Time to withdrawal of life sustaining therapy was also abstracted for the cohort that did not awaken. Patients were excluded from analysis if they did not awaken or if they died for reasons other than WLST. Results: Twenty-eight percent of patients woke prior to hospital discharge and 43.4% underwent withdrawal of life sustaining therapy. Women made up 39.5% of the total cohort, 40% of the awakened cohort and 41% of the WLST cohort. Women had earlier day of awakening in comparison to men (day 2 (2, 4) vs. day 4 (2,5), p=0.0036), and also earlier time to WLST after ROSC than men (59 hours (26, 131) vs. 64 hours (22, 135), p=NS). Conclusion: In this single center cohort, there was a difference in time to awakening between men and women. How time to awakening might differ between the sexes with guideline concordant time to WLST is unknown. Further research is necessary to explore the role of therapeutic interventions and differing physiology between men and women as it applies to time to awakening.

Introduction: Evidence for the effectiveness of coronary angiography after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is conflicting. Our objective was to evaluate the association between receiving coronary angiography within 72 hours of hospital arrival and survival with favorable neurologic outcome. Methods: This was a population-based retrospective cohort study of consecutive cases of adult OHCA transported to and treated at 28 hospitals in Southern Ontario between March 1, 2010 and December 31, 2014. We included patients with atraumatic OHCA, who achieved return of spontaneous circulation, and were alive 6 hours after hospital arrival. Multi-level logistic regression was used to measure the association between early coronary angiography and neurologically intact survival (Modified Rankin Score 0-2), while controlling for potential confounders and clustered data. We controlled for age, sex, initial cardiac rhythm, witness status, bystander resuscitation, EMS response time, prehospital return of spontaneous circulation, location of arrest, daytime presentation, neurologic status at hospital arrival, STEMI status, cardiac history, initiation of therapeutic hypothermia, hospital size and type, and hospital annual cardiac arrest volume. Results: During the period of study, 2678 consecutive OHCA patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 66(±16), 31.7% were female, 54.1% had a bystander witnessed arrest, 35.2% received bystander CPR, 45.9% had a shockable initial rhythm, 30.1% had ST elevation on the first post arrest ECG, and 32.4% received coronary angiography. Receiving coronary angiography was strongly associated with neurologically intact survival (OR 2.30, CI95 1.69-3.15) and survival (OR 2.08, CI95 1.53-2.82). A similar association was observed in the subgroup of patients without STEMI (OR 3.24, CI95 2.16-4.87 and OR 2.66, CI95 1.78-3.99, respectively). Conclusions: Neurologically intact survival among post cardiac arrest patients may be improved with coronary angiography, particularly for patients without STEMI. This observation should be confirmed with future randomized controlled studies.

Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) are a leading cause of death worldwide. However, data regarding the management and outcomes of affected patients are lacking in the Middle East. The current study aimed to present the angiographic findings and outcomes of patients presenting with OHCA in Muscat, Oman. Methods: This retrospective study took place between January 2012 and December 2016 at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH), Muscat, Oman. All adult patients who presented following an OHCA to the Emergency Department of SQUH during the study period were included. Demographic and clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. Results: A total of 216 patients were included in the study. The majority (63.9%) presented after having collapsed, while 22.3% presented with chest pains. Asystole was the most frequent initial cardiac rhythm (62.5%), with only 10% having ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation. Very few patients (1.4%) had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) prior to presentation. In total, 85 patients (39.4%) returned to spontaneous circulation (RSC); of these, post-RSC electrocardiography revealed an ST-segment elevation in 41.2% and normal findings in 23.5%. There were 63 patients who underwent coronary angiography, with 28 requiring stenting. Overall, 13% of patients survived and were discharged, although three survivors suffered permanent hypoxic brain damage. Conclusion: The overall survival rate of patients who had experienced an OHCA was low. Education programmes should focus on the benefits of immediate CPR for individuals experiencing an OHCA, with more opportunities for CPR training to be made available to the general public in Oman.Keywords: Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest; Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Patient Outcome Assessment; Survival Rate; Coronary Angiography; Oman.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The role of emergency coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following cardiac arrest in patients without ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. Aims: We aim to assess whether emergency CAG and PCI, when indicated, will improve survival with good neurological outcome in post-OHCA patients without STEMI who remain comatose. Methods: COUPE is a prospective, multicentre and randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 166 survivors of OHCA without STEMI will be included. Potentially non-cardiac aetiology of the cardiac arrest will be ruled out prior to randomization. Randomization will be 1:1 for emergency (within 2 h) or deferred (performed before discharge) CAG. Both groups will receive routine care in the intensive cardiac care unit, including therapeutic hypothermia. The primary efficacy endpoint is a composite of in-hospital survival free of severe dependence, which will be evaluated using the Cerebral Performance Category Scale. The safety endpoint will be a composite of major adverse cardiac events including death, reinfarction, bleeding and ventricular arrhythmias. Conclusions: This study will assess the efficacy of an emergency CAG versus a deferred one in OHCA patients without STEMI in terms of survival and neurological impairment.
