Purpose: Targeted temperature management (TTM) is a standard of care in patients after cardiac arrest for neuroprotection. Currently, the effectiveness and efficacy of TTM after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is unknown. We aimed to compare neurological and survival outcomes between TTM vs non-TTM in patients undergoing ECPR for refractory cardiac arrest. Methods: We searched PubMed and 5 other databases for randomized controlled trials and observational studies reporting neurological outcomes or survival in adult patients undergoing ECPR with or without TTM. Good neurological outcome was defined as cerebral performance category <3. Two independent reviewers extracted the data. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to pool data. Results: We included 35 studies (n = 2,643) with the median age of 56 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 52-59). The median time from collapse to ECMO cannulation was 58 minutes (IQR: 49-82) and the median ECMO duration was 3 days (IQR: 2.0-4.1). Of 2,643, 1,329 (50.3%) patients received TTM and 1,314 (49.7%) did not. There was no difference in the frequency of good neurological outcome at any time between TTM (29%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 23%-36%) vs. without TTM (19%, 95% CI: 9%-31%) in patients with ECPR ( P = 0.09). Similarly, there was no difference in overall survival between patients with TTM (30%, 95% CI: 22%-39%) vs. without TTM (24%, 95% CI: 14%-34%) ( P = 0.31). A cumulative meta-analysis by publication year showed improved neurological and survival outcomes over time. Conclusions: Among ECPR patients, survival and neurological outcome were not different between those with TTM vs. without TTM. Our study suggests that neurological and survival outcome are improving over time as ECPR therapy is more widely used. Our results were limited by the heterogeneity of included studies and further research with granular temperature data is necessary to assess the benefit and risk of TTM in ECPR population.

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.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the effect of audio-instructed dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) and video-instructed DA-CPR on resuscitation outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the real world. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for resuscitation-attempted adult OHCAs of 2017 in Seoul, Korea. Seoul implemented video-instructed DA-CPR program in 2017. According to the protocol, when dispatcher detected OHCA, they checked two condition: 1) more than two bystanders were in the scene, 2) they could handle a video-call. If both conditions were met, dispatcher initiated the CPR instruction and called back a video-call to the caller for instructing CPR via video (video group). Unless, standard audio-instructed DA-CPR was provided (audio group). The primary outcome was survival to discharge. The secondary outcome was good neurological outcome at hospital discharge. The tertiary outcome was early instruction time interval (ITI, time from call to the initiation of CPR instruction≤ 90 seconds). The study outcomes were compared between audio and video group. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed and adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated adjusting for potential confounders. Propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to increase comparability of two groups and same logistic regression model was analyzed for the PSM population. Results: A total of 1,720 eligible OHCA cases (1,489 in audio and 231 in video group) were evaluated. The median seconds of ITI was 136 seconds in audio group and 122 seconds in the video group (p=0.12). Survival to discharge was 8.9% in audio group and 14.3% in video group (p<0.01). Good neurological outcome was 5.8% in audio group and 10.4% in video group (p<0.01). Compared with audio group, the AORs (95% CIs) for survival to discharge, good neurological outcome and early ITI of the video group were 1.20 (0.74 to 1.94), 1.28 (0.73 to 2.26) and 1.00 (0.70 t0 1.43), respectively. PSM population showed similar results with original population. Conclusion: Compared with audio-instructed DA-CPR, video-instructed DA-CPR was not associated with survival improvement in the observational study.

Abstract BackgroundIn hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a major adverse event with a high mortality rate if not treated appropriately. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), as adjunct to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) is a promising technique for IHCA treatment. Evidence pertaining to neurological outcomes after ECPR is still scarce. MethodsWe performed a comprehensive systematic search of all studies up to December 20th 2019. Our primary outcome was neurological outcome after ECPR at any moment after hospital discharge, defined by the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score. A score of 1 or 2 was defined as favourable outcome. Our secondary outcome was post-discharge mortality. A fixed-effects meta-analysis was performed. ResultsOur search yielded 1215 results, of which 19 studies were included in this systematic review. The average survival rate was 31% (95% CI: 28-33%, I2=0%, p=0.26). In the surviving patients, the pooled percentage of favourable neurological outcome was 83% (95% CI: 79-87%, I2=24%, p=0.75). ConclusionECPR as treatment for in-hospital cardiac arrest is associated with a large proportion of patients with good neurological outcome. The large proportion of favourable outcome could potentially be explained by the selection of patients for treatment using ECPR. Moreover, survival is higher than described in the conventional CPR literature. As indications for ECPR might extend to older or more fragile patient populations in the future, research should focus on increasing survival, while maintaining optimal neurological outcome.

In the surviving patients, the pooled percentage of favourable neurological outcome was 84% (95% CI: 80-88%, I2=24%, p=0.90). Conclusion: CPR as treatment for in-hospital cardiac arrest is associated with a large proportion of patients with good neurological outcome. The large proportion of favourable outcome could potentially be explained by the selection of patients for treatment using ECPR. Moreover, survival is higher than described in the conventional CPR literature.
