Introduction: Several small studies have reported variable outcomes following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in patients with COVID-19. A clear estimate is important in prognostication and guiding resuscitation efforts and policies for these patients. Methods: A search of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases was conducted to identify studies reporting outcomes after IHCA in adult patients with confirmed COVID-19. The cumulative characteristics of the patients were described. The primary outcome studied was survival at 30 days or at hospital discharge (short term survival). Additional outcomes of interest were proportional prevalence of the initial rhythm at arrest, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and neurological recovery (defined as Cerebral Performance Category Score of 1-2 ). Metanalysis of proportions was performed utilizing the Metaprop command. A random effects model was chosen to account for interstudy variance. Results: A total of 13 eligible studies were identified and included in the analyses. Out of all the hospitalized patients with COVID-19, 1,618 underwent advanced cardiac resuscitation after an IHCA. Patients who had a cardiac arrest had a median age between 50-69 years. IHCA occurred predominantly in men, and in the ICU setting. Shockable rhythms were identified in 8% (95% CI 5-10%, I2; 56%) and non-shockable rhythms in 89% (95% CI 85-94% I2; 84%) of patients (Fig. 1a). ROSC was achieved in 40% (95% CI 31-48% I2; 90%) (Fig. 1b). Only 7 % ( 95% CI 3-12% I2; 86%) of patients survived at 30 days/hospital discharge (Fig. 1c). Neurological recovery was seen in 5% (95% CI 3-9% I2; 67%) of patients who suffered a IHCA (Fig. 1d). Conclusions: Our meta-analysis demonstrates the majority of the cardiac arrests in patients with COVID-19 have non-shockable rhythms. Survival rate in these patients is low, and neurological recovery is unfavorable. This study provides further insight in guiding resuscitation efforts in these patients.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with poor prognosis. Because the COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted mortality and morbidity, both on an individual level and the health care system as a whole, our purpose was to determine rates of OHCA survival since the onset of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the influence of COVID-19 on OHCA survival outcomes according to the PRISMA guidelines. We searched the literature using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials databases from inception to September 2021 and identified 1775 potentially relevant studies, of which thirty-one articles totaling 88,188 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods was 12.3% vs. 8.9%, respectively (OR = 1.40; 95%CI: 1.06–1.87; p < 0.001). Survival to hospital discharge in pre- vs. intra-COVID-19 periods was 11.5% vs. 8.2% (OR = 1.57; 95%CI: 1.37–1.79; p < 0.001). A similar dependency was observed in the case of survival to hospital discharge with the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 1–2 (6.7% vs. 4.0%; OR = 1.71; 95%CI: 1.35–2.15; p < 0.001), as well as in the 30-day survival rate (9.2% vs. 6.4%; OR = 1.63; 95%CI: 1.13–2.36; p = 0.009). In conclusion, prognosis of OHCA is usually poor and even worse during COVID-19.

Introduction: Survival rates with favorable neurologic function after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have remained low for decades. Hypothesis: Use of therapies focused on better perfusion during CPR using mechanical adjuncts and protective post-resuscitation care would improve survival and neurologic outcomes after OHCA compared to conventional CPR and care. Methods: OHCA outcomes in Alameda County, CA, USA, population 1.5 million, from December 2009-2011 when there was incomplete availability and use of impedance threshold device [ITD], mechanical CPR [MCPR], and hospital therapeutic hypothermia [HTH], were compared to 2012 when all were available and more widely used. Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC), survival and Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scores were compared using univariate and multivariable analyses. Results: Of the 3008 non-traumatic OHCAs who received CPR during the study period, >95% of survival outcome data were available. From 2009-11 to 2012, there was an increase in ROSC from 28.6% to 34.1% (p=0.002; OR=1.28; CI=1.09, 1.51) and a non-significant increase in hospital discharge from 10.5% to 12.3% (p=0.14; OR=1.17; CI=0.92, 1.49). There was, however, an 80% increase in survival with favorable neurological function between the two periods, as determined by CPC≤2, from 4.4% to 7.9% (p<0.001; unadjusted OR=1.85; CI=1.35, 2.54). After adjusting for witnessed arrest, bystander CPR, initial rhythm (VT/VF vs. others), placement of an advanced airway, EMS response time, and age, the adjusted OR was 1.60 (1.11, 2.31; p=0.012). Using a stepwise regression model, the most important independent positive predictors of CPC≤2 were 2012 (p=0.019), witnessed (p<0.001), initial rhythm VT/VF (p<0.001), and advanced airway (inverse association p<0.001). Additional analyses of the three therapies, separately and in combination, demonstrated that for all patients admitted to the hospital, ITD use with HTH had the most impact on survival to discharge with CPC≤2 of 24%. Conclusions: Therapies (ITD, MCPR, HTH) developed to enhance circulation during CPR and cerebral recovery after ROSC, significantly improved survival with favorable neurological function by 80% following OHCA.

ObjectiveTo compare resuscitation outcomes before and after switching from manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to load-distributing band (LDB) CPR in a multi-center Emergency Departments (ED) trial.MethodsThis is a phased, prospective cohort evaluation with intention-to-treat analysis of adults with non-traumatic cardiac arrest. The intervention is change in the system from manual CPR to LDB-CPR at two Urban EDs. The main outcome measure is survival to hospital discharge, with secondary outcome measures of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to hospital admission and neurological outcome at discharge.ResultsA total of 1,011 patients were included in the study, with 459 in the manual CPR phase (January 01, 2004, to August 24, 2007) and 552 patients in the LDB-CPR phase (August 16, 2007, to December 31, 2009). In the LDB phase, the LDB device was applied in 454 patients (82.3%). Patients in the manual CPR and LDB-CPR phases were comparable for mean age, gender and ethnicity. Rates for ROSC were comparable with LDB-CPR (manual 22.4% vs. LDB 35.3%; adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63-1.83). Survival to hospital admission was increased, Manual 14.2% vs. LDB 19.7%; adjusted OR, 2.50; 95% CI, 1.05-6.00. Survival to hospital discharge was increased Manual 1.3% vs. LDB 3.3%; adjusted OR, 3.99; 95% CI, 1.06-15.02. The number of survivors with Cerebral Performance Category 1 (good) (Manual 1 vs. LDB 12, p < 0.01) and Overall Performance Category 1 (good) (Manual 1 vs. LDB 10, p < 0.01) was also increased. The Number Needed to Treat (NNT) for 1 survivor was 52 (95% CI, 26-1000).ConclusionA resuscitation strategy using LDB-CPR in an ED environment was associated with improved survival to admission and discharge in adults with non-traumatic cardiac arrest.

Abstract We aimed to estimate the association between PaCO2 level in the patient after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation with patient outcome based on a multicenter prospective cohort registry in Japan between June 2014 and December 2015.Based on the PaCO2 within 24-h after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), patients were divided into six groups as follow; severe hypocapnia (<25mmHg), mild hypocapnia (25–35mmHg,), normocapnia (35–45mmHg), mild hypercapnia (45–55mmHg), severe hypercapnia (>55mmHg), exposure to both hypocapnia and hypercapnia. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the 1-month poor neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category ≥3). Among the 13491 OHCA patients, 607 were included. Severe hypocapnia, mild hypocapnia, severe hypercapnia, and exposure to both hypocapnia and hypercapnia were associated with a higher rate of 1-month poor neurological outcome compared with mild hypercapnia (aOR 6.68 [95% CI 2.16–20.67], 2.56 [1.30–5.04], 2.62 [1.06–6.47], 5.63 [2.21–14.34]; respectively). There was no significant difference between the outcome of patients with normocapnia and mild hypercapnia. In conclusion, maintaining normocapnia and mild hypercapnia during the 24-h after ROSC was associated with better neurological outcomes than other PaCO2 abnormalities in this study.

Aim: To estimate the incidence of in hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in COVID 19 patients, as well as to compare the incidence and outcomes of IHCA in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) versus non ICU patients with COVID 19. Methods: We systematically reviewed the PubMed, Scopus and clinicaltrials.gov databases to identify relevant studies. Results: Eleven studies were included in our study. The pooled prevalence/incidence, pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI) were calculated, as appropriate. The quality of the included studies was assessed using appropriate tools. The pooled incidence of IHCA in COVID 19 patients was 7% [95% CI: 4, 11%; P < 0.0001] and 44% [95% CI: 30, 58%; P < 0.0001] achieved ROSC. Of those that survived, 58% [95% CI: 42, 74%; P < 0.0001] had a good neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category 1 or 2) and the mortality at the last follow up was 59% [95% CI: 37, 81%; P < 0.0001]. A statistically significant higher percentage of ROSC [OR (95% CI): 5.088 (2.852, 9.079); P < 0.0001] was found among ICU patients versus those in the general wards. Conclusion: The incidence of IHCA amongst hospitalized COVID 19 patients is 7%, with 44% of them achieving ROSC. Patients in the ICU were more likely to achieve ROSC than those in the general wards, however the mortality did not differ.

Introduction: There are few data comparing Tracheal Intubation (TI) and SupraGlottic Airway (SGA) following pediatric out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Hypothesis: TI is associated with improved outcomes compared to SGA following pediatric OHCA. Methods: Analysis of the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival database. Inclusion criteria were age ≤ 18 years, non-traumatic OHCA from 2013 through 2017, resuscitated by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). To adjust for covariate imbalance, propensity score matching and entropy balancing were utilized; variables included age category, sex, bystander CPR, and initial rhythm. Primary outcome was neurologically favorable survival defined as a cerebral performance category scale of 1 or 2. Secondary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Results: Of 2653 cardiac arrests evaluated, 2178 (82.1%) had TI and 475 (17.9%) had SGA placed during OHCA. 835 (31.2%) arrests were resuscitated by agencies used bag valve mask (BVM) and TI and 1818 (68.0%) arrests had agencies that used all 3 airway types (BVM/TI/SGA). Overall, unadjusted favorable neurological survival was 5.7% for TI and 5.3% for SGA, p=0.67 and survival to hospital discharge was 7.9% for TI and 7.5% for SGA, p=0.73. In multivariable analysis (adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, bystander witness, bystander CPR, initial rhythm, AED use, year of arrest, and agency category), SGA was associated with lower neurologically favorable survival compared to TI (adjusted proportion 3.7% vs. 6.3%, OR 0.49, p=0.01), and lower survival to hospital discharge (5.5% vs. 8.5%, OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.36, 0.89). These results were robust on tests for unmeasured confounding and covariate balance; propensity analysis neurologically favorable survival 4.4% vs.7.6% (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.30, 0.96), survival to hospital discharge 6.6% vs.10.5% (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.35, 0.95); and entropy balance neurologically favorable survival 5.0 % vs. 9.7% for ETI (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.27, 0.72), survival to hospital discharge 7.3% vs.12.5% (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.34, 0.78). Conclusion: In pediatric OHCA, TI, compared with SGA advanced airway management is associated with improved neurologically favorable survival and survival to hospital discharge.

Introduction: Nearly 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases occur annually in the United States, with a fatality rate nearing 90%. Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is known to significantly influence survival. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) on real-time audiovisual feedback (RTAVF) and active compression-decompression (ACD) devices show both provide substantial advantages to standard CPR. We conducted the first network meta-analysis comparing the efficacy of RTAVF and ACD devices in OHCA based on a literature review. Methods: Studies examining the efficacy of RTAVF or ACD devices to standard CPR by emergency medical personnel in OHCA cases were identified in PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and Embase. Outcomes of interest were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to hospital discharge (SHD), and favorable neurological recovery. Both a frequentist and Bayesian network meta-analysis were conducted. The p-values, P-scores and Surface under the Cumulative Ranking (SUCRA) scores were computed to analyze significance and effect size. Results: The search yielded 31 eligible studies (n = 35,575). RTAVF devices significantly improved ROSC (Risk Ratio (RR) 1.15, 95% CI: 1.09 - 1.22, p < 0.001, P-score > 0.999) and SHD (RR 1.16, 1.07 - 1.26, p < 0.001, P-score > 0.91), but did not significantly improve favorable neurological recovery (RR 1.05, 0.92 - 1.19, p > 0.05). ACD devices did not report significant improvement in either ROSC (RR 1.03, 0.99 - 1.08, p > 0.05) or SHD (RR 1.10, 0.99 - 1.21, p > 0.05), but did report significant benefits in favorable neurological outcome (RR 1.30, 1.07 - 1.58, p < 0.01, P-score > 0.97). Similar findings were also seen in SUCRA scores. Conclusion: We found RTAVF devices increased ROSC and SHD, while ACD devices increased favorable neurological recovery. Our meta-analysis supports the adoption of RTAVF devices, but an RCT directly comparing RTAVF with ACD devices is recommended.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Drowning is a major public health concern, yet little is known about the characteristics of drowning patients. The objectives of this study were to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) attributed to drowning in Ontario and to compare the characteristics of OHCA attributed to drowning to those of presumed cardiac etiology. Methods: A retrospective, observational study was carried out of consecutive OHCA patients of drowning etiology in Ontario between August 2006 and July 2011. Bivariate analysis was used to evaluate differences between drowning and presumed cardiac etiologies. Results: A total of 31,763 OHCA patients were identified, and 132 (0.42%) were attributed to drowning. Emergency medical services treated 98 patients, whereas the remaining 34 met the criteria for legislative death. Overall, 5.1% of drowning patients survived to hospital discharge. When compared to patients of presumed cardiac etiology, drowning patients were younger and their arrest was more likely to be unwitnessed, present with a nonshockable initial rhythm, occur in a public location, and receive bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A nonsignificant trend was noted for drowning cases to more frequently have a public access AED applied. There were no significant differences in the gender ratio or paramedic response times. Drowning patients were more likely to be transported to hospital but had a trend to be less likely to arrive with a return of spontaneous circulation. They were also more likely to be admitted to hospital but had no difference in survival to hospital discharge. Conclusions: Significant differences exist between OHCA of drowning and presumed cardiac etiologies. Most drownings are unwitnessed, occur in public locations, and present with nonshockable initial rhythms, suggesting that treatment should focus on bystander CPR. Future initiatives should focus on strategies to improve supervision in targeted locations and greater emphasis on bystander-initiated CPR, both of which may reduce drowning mortality.
