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.

Introduction: We have reported previously a favorable neurological outcome by extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out of hospital cardiac arrest. However, effects of ECPR on patients with prolonged pulseless electrical activity (PEA) are unclear. We analyzed etiology of patients with favorable neurological outcomes after ECPR for PEA with witness. Methods: In this single center retrospective study, from January 2007 to May 2018, we identified 68 patients who underwent ECPR for PEA with witness. Of these, 13 patients (19%) had good neurological outcome at 1 month (Glasgow-Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Category (CPC):1-2, Group G), and 55 patients (81%) had unfavorable neurological outcome (CPC:3-5, Group B). We compared courses of treatment and causes/places of arrests between two groups. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. Results: Patient characteristics were not different between the two groups. Time intervals from collapse to induction of V-A ECMO were also not significantly different (Group G; 46.1 ± 20.2 min vs Group B; 46.8 ± 21.7 min, p=0.92). Ten patients achieved favorable neurological outcome among 39 (26%) with non-cardiac etiology. In cardiac etiology, only 3 of 29 patients (9%) had a good outcome at 1 month (p=0.08). In particular, 5 patients of 10 pulmonary embolism, and 4 of 4 accidental hypothermia responded well to ECPR with a favorable neurological outcome. Additionally, 6 of 13 (46%), who had in hospital cardiac arrest, had good outcome, whereas 7 of 55 (15%) who had out of hospital cardiac arrest, had good outcome (p=0.02). Conclusions: In our small cohort of cardiac arrest patients with pulmonary embolism or accidental hypothermia and PEA with witness, EPCR contributed to favorable neurological outcomes at 1 month.

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.

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: 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.

Introduction: Approximately 1,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occur per day in the United States. Although survival rates remains low, the extent to which OHCA neurological outcomes differ between men and women remains poorly characterized. Methods: Within the national Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) registry, we identified 195,722 adult individuals with an OHCA between 2013-2017. Using multi-variable logistic regression models, we evaluated for sex differences in rates of survival to hospital discharge and favorable neurological outcome (survival with discharge CPC score of 1 or 2), adjusted for cardiac arrest characteristics, race, location, year of arrest, age, and use of targeted temperature management (TTM) and coronary angiography. Results: Overall, 70,767 (31%) patients were women. Median age was 64 and 62 years for women and men, respectively. An initial shockable rhythm (14.9% vs. 25.7%) and a witnessed arrest (40.9% vs. 45.6%) was more common in men. Bystander CPR was provided to 37% of women and 39% of men. Men were less likely to survive to hospital discharge than women (8.7% vs. 10.9%; adjusted OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.73, 0.78). Similarly, men were less likely to have favorable neurological outcome (6.6% vs. 9.2% for women; adjusted OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.74, 0.82). Further interaction analysis for the pre-hospital elements found small, but statistically significant sex differences in favorable neurological survival for witnessed status (among female OR 2.29, 95% CI 2.10, 2.49; among males OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.92, 2.23, p= 0.04) and for bystander CPR (among females OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.11, 1.29; among males OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.27, 1.42, p= 0.01). Interaction of sex with the hospital level variables of TTM and coronary angiography, for the subset of patients that survived to hospital admission, had no sex differences in favorable neurological outcome. Conclusion: Our analysis shows that for OHCA in the United States, women have better survival outcomes than men. There was a sex differences in the pre-hospital variable of BCPR, but not in the other modifiable variables of TTM and coronary angiography. Further study is needed to better understand sex differences in overall survival and neurological outcomes.

Background: The international consensus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care science with treatment recommendations (CoSTR) 2010 changed the dispatcher-initiated telephone CPR instruction. Major changes of the telephone CPR instruction were simplified algorithm, elimination of “Look, listen, and feel for breathing” chest compressions first (C-A-B), chest compression only CPR if bystander was not trained in CPR, et al. However, few studies have investigated the efficacy of telephone CPR instruction based on the CoSTR 2010. Methods: From the All-Japan Utstein Registry for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) between 2006 and 2015, we enrolled adult (18 years or older) patients with bystander-witnessed OHCA and stratified by the two CoSTR eras (the CoSTR 2010 group from 2011 through 2015 versus the CoSTR 2005 group from 2006 through 2010). The primary endpoint was 30-day favorable neurological outcome after OHCA. Results: Of the 378,757 adult patients with bystander-witnessed OHCA, 199,117 (52.5%) received CPR based on the CoSTR 2010 and 179,640 (47.4%) received CPR based on the CoSTR 2005. In the whole cohort, the CoSTR 2010 group had higher proportion of cases receiving telephone CPR instruction than the CoSTR 2005 group (48.8% versus 40.9%, P<0.001). In the subgroups of patients receiving telephone CPR instruction, the CoSTR 2010 group had higher proportion of bystander chest compression-only CPR (60.5% versus 47.3%, p<0.001) and public access defibrillation (1.9% versus 0.9%, P<0.001) than the CoSTR 2005 group. Although those subgroups had similar proportion of initial shockable cardiac arrest rhythm (15.2 % in the CoSTR 2010 group versus 15.3 % in the CoSTR 2005 group, P=0.63), the CoSTR 2010 group had higher frequency of the favorable neurological outcome than the CoSTR 2005 group (4.5 % versus 3.7%%, P<0.001). In the subgroup of patients receiving telephone CPR instruction, an adjusted odds ratio for the favorable neurological outcome in the CoSTR 2010 group (reference, the CoSTR 2005 group) was 1.47 (95 % CI, 1.43-1.51, p<0.001). Conclusions: Telephone CPR instruction based on the CoSTR 2010 was the preferable approach to resuscitation for adult patients with bystander-witnessed OHCA.

Background: The 2015 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines have stressed that high-quality CPR improves survival from cardiac arrest (CA). In particular, the guidelines recommended that it is reasonable for rescuers to perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120/min in adult CA patients. However, it is unknown whether the 2015 guidelines contributed to favorable neurological outcome in adult CA patients. The present study aimed to clarify the effects of the 2015 guidelines in adult CA patients, using the data of the All-Japan Utstein Registry, a prospective, nationwide, population-based registry of out-of-hospital CA (OHCA). Methods: From the data of this registry between 2011 and 2016, we included adult witnessed OHCA patients due to cardiac etiology, who had non-shockable rhythm, PEA and asystole, as an initial rhythm. Study patients were divided into two groups based on the different CPR guidelines; the era of the 2010 guidelines (2010G), and the era of the 2015 guidelines (2015G). The endpoint was the favorable neurological outcome at 30 days after OHCA. Results: The 109,175 patients who met the inclusion criteria comprised 18,764 who received CPR based on 2015G and 90,411 who received CPR based on 2010G. The figure showed favorable neurological outcomes at 30 days in the two groups. In the multivariate analysis, the adjusted odds ratio for 30-day favorable neurological outcome in 2015G patients as compared to 2010G patients was 1.28 (95%CI 1.11-1.46, p<0.001). Conclusion: In the OHCA patients with non-shockable rhythm, the 2015 guidelines were superior to the 2010 guidelines, in terms of neurological benefits.
