Therapeutic hypothermia is beneficial to neurological outcome for comatose survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, there are few data of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for induction of hypothermia for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We did a prospective study of ECPR with hypothermia for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The criteria for inclusion were an age of 18 to 74 years, a witnessed cardiac arrest, collapse-to-patient’s-side interval <15 minutes, cardiac arrest due to presumed cardiac etiology, and persistent cardiac arrest on ER arrival in spite of the prehospital defibrillations. After arrival at the emergency room, cardiopulmonary bypass plus intra-aortic balloon pumping was immediately performed, and then coronary reperfusion therapy during cardiac arrest was added if needed. Mild hypothermia (34°C for 3 days) was immediately induced during cardiac arrest or after return of spontaneous circulation. We selected suitable patients who received conventional CPR with normothermia among a prospective multi-center observational study of patients who had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Kanto region of Japan “the SOS-KANTO study” for the control group. The primary endpoint was favorable neurological outcome at the time of hospital discharge. A total of 558 patients were enrolled; 127 received ECPR with hypothermia and 431 received conventional CPR with normothermia. The ECPR with hypothermia group had significantly higher frequency of the favorable neurological outcome than the conventional CPR with normothermia group (12% vs. 2%, unadjusted odds ratio, 8.1; 95% CI; 3.2 to 20.0). The adjusted odds ratio for the favorable neurological outcome after ECPR with hypothermia was 7.4 (95% CI; 2.8 to 19.3, p<0.0001). Among the ECPR with hypothermia group, early attainment of a target core temperature of 34°C increased its efficacy (adjusted odds ratio, 0.99; 95% CI; 0.98 to 1.00, p=0.04). ECPR with hypothermia improved the chance of neurologically intact survival for adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and the early attainment of a target temperature enhanced its efficacy.

BACKGROUND AHA guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have recommended that administration of atropine can be considered for asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA), because atropine has improved survival to hospital admission in a retrospective review (Ann Emerg Med, 1984), and is inexpensive, easy to administer, and has few side effects. However, there are insufficient data in humans. METHODS We assessed the effects of atropine in 7,443 adults patients with asystole or PEA arrest from the SOS-KANTO study: a prospective, multicenter, observational trial. The medications for asystole or PEA arrest were managed according to the advanced cardiovascular life support algorithm of the CPR guidelines (i.e. a 1-mg dose of epinephrine was administered intravenously every 3 to 5 minutes and a1-mg dose of atropine was administered intravenously every 3 to 5 minutes; maximum total of 3 doses). The primary endpoint was a favorable neurological outcome 30 days after cardiac arrest. RESULTS Of the 7,443 adult patients who had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with asystole or PEA, I,708(23%) were treated with epinephrine and atropine and 5,735(77%) were treated with epinephrine. At baseline, the epinephrine and atropine group had significantly higher proportions of cardiac cause, witnessed arrest, and bystander CPR attempt than the epinephrine group. However, the two groups had a similar frequency of the favorable neurological outcome (0.3% in each group, p=0.805). Multiple logistic-regression analysis showed that the adjusted odds ratio for the favorable neurological outcome was 0.6 (95% CI 0.2–1.7, p=0.37) after epinephrine and atropine (compared with epinephrine). On the other hand, the epinephrine and atropine group had significantly higher rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) than the epinephrine group (35% vs. 23%, p<0.0001), and the adjusted odds ratio for ROSC was 1.6 (95% CI 1.4 –1.7, p<0.0001) after epinephrine and atropine (compared with epinephrine). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that administration of atropine during management of asystole or PEA arrest did not increase the frequency of favorable neurological outcome, although the atropine favored initial ROSC.

Abstract Background/Introduction Previous studies have shown that out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurring at night have poor outcomes compared with OHCA occurring during daytime. On the other hand, nationwide OHCA outcomes have gradually improved in Japan. Purpose We sought to examine whether one-month survival of OHCA differed between daytime and nighttime occurrences, and they differed between the periods of International Resuscitation Guidelines 2005 and 2010. Methods Using the All-Japan Utstein Registry between 2005 and 2015, adult OHCA patients whose collapse was witnessed by a bystander and the call-to-hospital admission interval was shorter than 120 min were included in this study. OHCA patients were divided by period of the International Resuscitation Guideline 2005 and 2010. Guideline 2005 included years from 2006 to 2010, while Guideline 2010 included years from 2011 to 2015. The primary outcome was one-month survival with favorable neurological outcome, defined as Cerebral Performance Category scale of 1 or 2. Daytime, evening, and night were defined as 0700 to 1459 h, 1500 to 2259 h, and 2300 to 0659 h, respectively. Results Among 479,046 cases, 20.3% revealed OHCA occurring at night. OHCA patients occurring at night had lower rate of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator use than those occurring at both daytime and evening. In addition, of those who received bystander CPR, higher rate of patients received CPR by family members. OHCA patients occurring at night in both guideline periods had significantly worse one-month survival than those occurring during daytime (reference) (adjusted odds ratio, 0.69, 0.64; 95% confidence interval 0.65–0.72, 0.61–0.67; P<0.001, P<0.001, Guideline 2005 and 2010 respectively). OHCA patients occurring during daytime in Guideline 2010 had better one-month survival than those in Guideline 2005 (adjusted odds ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval 1.24–1.34; P<0.001). Conclusions One-month survival with favorable neurological outcome in OHCA patients occurring at night remains to be significantly worse than those occurring during daytime, even improved by the periods during daytime. CPR training for the family members should be more expanded and strengthened against the night time imperfection.

Introduction: Previous studies have shown an association between hyperoxemia and mortality in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); however, the evidence is lacking in patients receiving extracorporeal CPR (ECPR). Hypothesis: To test the hypothesis that hyperoxemia is associated with poor neurological outcome in patients treated by ECPR. Methods: The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine - OHCA (JAAM-OHCA) Registry is a multicenter, prospective, observational registry including 34,754 OHCA patients between 2014 and 2017. Patients who had been resuscitated and survived 24 hours after OHCA and had a PaO 2 levels above 60 mmHg were included. Eligible patients were divided into 2 groups by each 2 definition according to the PaO 2 levels measured from arterial blood gas analysis 24-h after the ECPR, (1) High-level of PaO 2 (H-PaO 2 , n=242) as PaO 2 ≥ 157 mmHg (median) and control (n=211) as 60 < PaO 2 < 157 mmHg, (2) hyperoxemia (HO, n=80) as PaO 2 ≥ 300 mmHg and control (n=373) as 60 < PaO 2 < 300 mmHg. The primary and secondary outcomes were the favorable neurological outcome, defined as Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) Scale 1-2, and survival at 30 days after OHCA, respectively. Results: Out of 34,754 patients with OHCA, 453 patients with ECPR were included. The number of CPC 1-2 was significantly lower in the H-PaO 2 and HO group compared with each control group (H-PaO 2 : 17.4% vs. 33.2%; Odds ratio [OR] 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.27-0.66; P<0.0001, HO: 8.8% vs. 28.2%; OR 0.24; 95% CI 0.11-0.55; P<0.001). The 30-day survival was lower in these high oxygen groups (H-PaO 2 : 39.3% vs. 57.4%; OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.33-0.70; P<0.0001, HO: 25.0% vs. 52.6%; OR 0.30; 95% CI 0.17-0.52; P<0.0001). After adjusting for potential confounders, the H-PaO 2 and HO were associated with unfavorable neurological outcomes (adjusted OR, H-PaO 2 ; 2.71; 95% CI 1.16-6.30; P=0.021, HO; 5.76; 95% CI 1.30-25.4; P=0.021). The H-PaO 2 and HO were also associated with poor 30-day survival (adjusted OR, H-PaO 2 ; 2.28; 95% CI 1.13-4.60; P=0.021, HO; 3.75; 95% CI 1.28-11.0; P=0.016). Conclusions: Hyperoxemia was associated with worse neurological outcomes in OHCA patients with ECPR.

Background: Prolonged conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (C-CPR) is associated with a poor prognosis in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) has been utilized as a rescue strategy for patients with cardiac arrest unresponsive to C-CPR. However, the indication and optimal duration to switch from C-CPR to E-CPR are not well established. In addition, the opportunities to develop teamwork skills and expertise to mitigate risks are few. We thus developed the implementation protocol for the E-CPR simulation program, and investigated whether the faster deployment of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) improves the neurological outcome in patients with refractory OHCA. Methods: A total of 42 consecutive patients (age 58±16 years, male ratio 90%, and initial shockable rhythm 64%) received E-CPR (3% of OHCA) during the study period. Among them, 32 (76%) were deployed ECMO during the pre-intervention time period (Pre: from January 2012 to September 2017), whereas 10 (24%) were deployed during the post-intervention time period (Post: October 2017 to May 2019). We compared the door to E-CPR time, collapse to E-CPR time, 30-day mortality, and favorable neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Categories 1, 2) between the two periods. Results: There was no significant difference in age, the rates of male sex and shockable rhythm, and the time form collapse to emergency room admission between the two periods. The door to E-CPR time and the collapse to E-CPR time were significantly shorter in the post-intervention period compared to the pre-intervention period (Pre: 39 min [IQR; 30-50] vs. Post: 29 min [IQR; 22-31]; P=0.007, Pre: 76 min [IQR; 58-87] vs. Post: 59 min [IQR; 44-68]; P=0.02, respectively). The 30-day mortality was similar between the two periods (Pre: 88% vs. Post: 80%; P=0.6). In contrast, the rate of favorable neurological outcome at the time of discharge was significantly higher in post-intervention period (Pre: 0% vs. Post: 20%; P=0.01) compared to the pre-intervention period. Conclusion: A comprehensive simulation-based training for E-CPR seems to improve the neurological outcome in patients with refractory OHCA patients.

Background: The 2015 CoSTR recommended that standard-dose epinephrine (SDE) was reasonable for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) was reasonable rescue therapy for selected patients with ongoing cardiac arrest when initial conventional CPR was unsuccessful. We investigated the effect of prehospital SDE for patients who met the criteria of ECPR. Methods: From the All-Japan OHCA Utstein Registry between 2007 and 2015, we included 22,552 patients who met the criteria of ECPR of the SAVE-J study (age between 20 and 75, witnessed shockable OHCA, cardiac arrest on hospital arrival, cardiac etiology, and collapse-to-ECPR interval within 60 minutes). Study patients were divided into two groups according to prehospital SDE or not. Primary endpoint was favorable 30-day neurological outcome after OHCA. Results: Of the 22,552 study patients, 5,659 (25%) received prehospital SDE and 16,893 (75%) did not. The SDE group resulted in lower proportion of favorable 30-day neurological outcome than the no-SDE group (5.6% versus 8.4%, p<0.001) with longer collapse-to-hospital-arrival interval (36.7±9.8 min vs. 29.6±11.3 min, p<0.001). After adjustment for independent predictors of resuscitation, prehospital SDE did not impact on neurological benifit (adjusted OR,1.13; 95%CI,0.98-1.29), but the collapse-to-hospital-arrival interval was associated with neurological benefit (adjusted OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.93-0.95). In curve estimation of the SDE group, when collapse-to-hospital-arrival interval was delayed, proportion of the favorable neurological outcome decreased to about 25% at 1 minute and about 0% at 54 minutes (R=0.14). In the 274 patients undergoing ECPR of the SAVE-J study, however, it was about 43% at 1 minute and about 0% at 96 minutes (R=0.17). Conclusions: Prehospital SDE did not improve likelihood of favorable neurological outcome for patients who met the criteria of ECPR (age between 20 and 75, witnessed shockable OHCA, cardiac arrest on hospital arrival, cardiac etiology and collapse-to-ECPR interval within 60 minutes), because SED administration delayed the collapse-to-hospital-arrival interval which was closely related to the neurologically intact survival on ECPR.
