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.

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 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.

Abstract Background A favorable neurological outcome is closely related to patient characteristics and total cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration. The total CPR duration consists of pre-hospital and in-hospital durations. To date, consensus is lacking on the optimal total CPR duration. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the upper limit of total CPR duration, the optimal cut-off time at the pre-hospital level, and the time to switch from conventional CPR to alternative CPR such as extracorporeal CPR. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study using prospective, multi-center registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients between October 2015 and June 2019. Emergency medical service–assessed adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) with non-traumatic OHCA were included. The primary endpoint was a favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Results Among 7914 patients with OHCA, 577 had favorable neurological outcomes. The optimal cut-off for pre-hospital CPR duration in patients with OHCA was 12 min regardless of the initial rhythm. The optimal cut-offs for total CPR duration that transitioned from conventional CPR to an alternative CPR method were 25 and 21 min in patients with initial shockable and non-shockable rhythms, respectively. In the two groups, the upper limits of total CPR duration for achieving a probability of favorable neurological outcomes < 1% were 55–62 and 24–34 min, respectively, while those for a cumulative proportion of favorable neurological outcome > 99% were 43–53 and 45–71 min, respectively. Conclusions Herein, we identified the optimal cut-off time for transitioning from pre-hospital to in-hospital settings and from conventional CPR to alternative resuscitation. Although there is an upper limit of CPR duration, favorable neurological outcomes can be expected according to each patient’s resuscitation-related factors, despite prolonged CPR duration.

Abstract Background: Patients experiencing cardiac arrest outside medical facilities are at greater risk of death and might have negative neurological outcomes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration affects neurological outcomes of such patients, which suggests that duration of CPR may be vital to patient outcomes.Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the impact of cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration on neurological outcome of patients who have suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Methods: Data were collected from emergency cases handled by a secondary hospital in industrial Jubail, Saudi Arabia, between 2015 and 2020. There were 257 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases, 236 of which resulted in death.Results: Bivariate analysis showed no significant association between cerebral performance category (CPC) outcomes and duration of CPR, gender and cause of death whereas there is statistically significant between CPC and age. (p = 0.001). However, a good CPC outcome was reported with a (mean) limited duration of 8.1 min of CPR; whereas, poor CPC outcomes were associated with prolonged periods of CPR, 13.2 min (mean). Similarly, youthfulness was associated with good CPC outcomes as revealed by the mean age of 5.8 years, whereas a mean rank of 14.9 years was aligned with a poor CPC outcome.Conclusion: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Duration out-of-hospital cardiac arrest does not significantly influence the patient neurological outcome in the current study hospital. Other variables may have a more significant effect.

Abstract Introduction Quality improvement in the administration of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) over time and its association with low-flow duration (LFD) and outcomes of cardiac arrest (CA) have been insufficiently investigated. In this study, we hypothesized that quality improvement in efforts to shorten the duration of initiating ECPR had decreased LFD over the last 15 years of experience at an academic tertiary care hospital, which in turn improved the outcomes of in-hospital CA (IHCA). Methods This was a single-center retrospective observational study of ECPR patients between January 2003 and December 2017. A rapid response system (RRS) and an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) program were initiated in 2011 and 2013. First, the association of LFD per minute with the 90-day mortality and neurological outcome was analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis. Then, the temporal changes in LFD were investigated. Results Of 175 study subjects who received ECPR, 117 had IHCA. In the multivariate logistic regression, IHCA patients with shorter LFD experienced significantly increased 90-day survival and favorable neurological outcomes (LFD per minute, 90-day survival: odds ratio [OR] = 0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.94–1.00, P = 0.032; 90-day favorable neurological outcome: OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.94–1.00, P = 0.049). In the study period, LFD significantly decreased over time (slope − 5.39 [min/3 years], P < 0.0001). Conclusion A shorter LFD was associated with increased 90-day survival and favorable neurological outcomes of IHCA patients who received ECPR. The quality improvement in administering ECPR over time, including the RRS program and the ECMO program, appeared to ameliorate clinical outcomes.
