Favorable Neurological Outcome

Introduction: For OHCA patients without ROSC under standard ALS, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) was the only chance. However, ECPR was invasive and costed tremendous resources. This study aimed to analyze the predictor of favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge (FO, cerebral performance category 1-2). Hypothesis: In OHCA patients receiving ECPR, shockable rhythm at hospital arrival could serve as predictor of FO. Method: This was a single center retrospective study which enrolled 126 OHCA patients receiving ECPR between January 2012 to December 2019. Primary outcome was FO at hospital discharge. Predictors of FO were assessed by multiple logistic regression. Patients with initial shockable rhythm were analyzed according to the cardiac rhythm at hospital arrival. Result: Among OHCA patients receiving ECPR, FO at hospital discharge was 21%. Certain variables were associated with FO: witnessed collapse (P=0.014), bystander CPR (P=0.05), shorter no flow time(P=0.008), and shockable rhythm at hospital arrival (78% vs. 49%;P=0.009). Initial shockable rhythm did not differ significantly (85% vs. 71% ;P=0.15). Multiple logistic regression showed that shockable rhythm at hospital arrival was the only predictor of FO (OR, 3.012; 95% CI, 1.06-8.53; P=0.038). Patients with initial shockable rhythm represented a heterogenous group. The group with shockable rhythm at hospital arrival had 30% of FO, which was significantly higher than 17% in PEA group, and 6% in asystole group (Graph 1). Patients who remained shockable had higher percentage of witnessed arrest, shorter arrest-hospital time, less metabolic disturbance, and hence higher percentage of FO. Conclusion: In OHCA patients receiving ECPR, shockable rhythm at hospital arrival could predict favorable neurological outcome at discharge more precisely than initial shockable rhythm. ECPR selection criteria should take the rhythm at hospital arrival into consideration.

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.

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.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a promising treatment for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Most studies evaluating the effectiveness of ECPR include patients with an initial shockable rhythm. However, the effectiveness of ECPR for patients with an initial non-shockable rhythm remains unknown. This retrospective single-center study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ECPR for patients with an initial non-shockable rhythm, with reference to the outcomes of OHCA patients with an initial shockable rhythm. Methods Adult OHCA patients treated with ECPR at our center during 2011–2018 were included in the study. Patients were classified into the initial shockable rhythm group and the non-shockable rhythm group. The primary outcome was the cerebral performance category (CPC) scale score at hospital discharge. A CPC score of 1 or 2 was defined as a good outcome. Results In total, 186 patients were eligible. Among them, 124 had an initial shockable rhythm and 62 had an initial non-shockable rhythm. Among all patients, 158 (85%) were male, with a median age of 59 (interquartile range [IQR], 48–65) years, and the median low flow time was 41 (IQR, 33–48) min. Collapse was witnessed in 169 (91%) patients, and 36 (19%) achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) transiently. Proportion of female patients, presence of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and collapse after the arrival of emergency medical service personnel were significantly higher in the non-shockable rhythm group. The rate of good outcomes at hospital discharge was not significantly different between the shockable and non-shockable groups (19% vs. 16%, p=0.69). Initial shockable rhythm was not significantly associated with good outcome after controlling for potential confounders (adjusted odds ratio 1.58, 95% confidence interval: 0.66–3.81, p=0.31). In the non-shockable group, patients with good outcomes had a higher rate of transient ROSC, and pulmonary embolism was the leading etiology. Conclusions The outcomes of patients with an initial non-shockable rhythm are comparable with those having an initial shockable rhythm. OHCA patients with an initial non-shockable rhythm could be candidates for ECPR, if they are presumed to have reversible etiology and potential for good neurological recovery.

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: 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.

Research Objective. This study determined the outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after in-hospital cardiac arrest and factors influencing it in two training hospitals in Ahvaz.Method. Patients hospitalized in the pediatric wards and exposed to CPR during hospital stay were included in the study (September 2013 to May 2014). The primary outcome of CPR was assumed to be the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and the secondary outcome was assumed to be survival to discharge. The neurological outcome of survivors was assessed using the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) method.Results. Of the 279 study participants, 138 patients (49.4%) showed ROSC, 81 patients (29%) survived for 24 hours after the CPR, and 33 patients (11.8%) survived to discharge. Of the surviving patients, 16 (48.5%) had favorable neurological outcome. The resuscitation during holidays resulted in fewer ROSC. Multivariate analysis showed that longer CPR duration, CPR by junior residents, growth deficiency, and prearrest vasoactive drug infusion were associated with decreased survival to discharge (p<0.05). Infants and patients with respiratory disease had higher survival rates.Conclusion. The rate of successful CPR in our study was lower than rates reported by developed countries. However, factors influencing the outcome of CPR were similar. These results reflect the necessity of paying more attention to pediatric CPR training, postresuscitation conditions, and expansion of intensive care facilities.
