Abstract Background: Targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended for unconscious patients after a cardiac arrest. However, its effectiveness in patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) by hanging remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between TTM and favorable neurological outcomes in patients with PCAS by hanging.Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) registry between June 2014 and December 2017 among patients with PCAS admitted to the hospitals after an OHCA caused by hanging. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the propensity score and to predict whether patients with PCAS by hanging receive TTM. We compared patients with PCAS by hanging who received TTM (TTM group) and those who did not (non-TTM group) using propensity score analysis.Results: A total of 199 patients with PCAS by hanging were enrolled in this study. Among them, 43 were assigned to the TTM group and 156 to the non-TTM group. Logistic regression model adjusted for propensity score revealed that TTM was not associated with favorable neurological outcome at 1-month (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.27–6.96). Moreover, no difference was observed in the propensity score-matched cohort (adjusted OR: 0, 73, 95% CI: 0.10–4.71) and in the inverse probability of treatment weighting-matched cohort (adjusted OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.15–2.69).Conclusions: TTM was not associated with increased favorable neurological outcomes at 1-month in patients with PCAS after OHCA by hanging.

Background: Previous randomized controlled trials demonstrated the efficacy of targeted temperature management (TTM) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with both shockable and non-shockable rhythm. Real-world evidence for TTM using large OHCA database are scarce, and no study has investigated the relationship between TTM and time-to-return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Methods: The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine - out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (JAAM-OHCA) Registry is a multicenter, prospective, observational registry including 34,754 OHCA patients between 2014 and 2017. Patients with witnessed non-traumatic OHCA who had been resuscitated and were in a coma were included. Eligible patients were divided into two groups according to the use of TTM. The primary outcome was defined as a Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) Scale 1-2 at 30 days after OHCA. The propensity score matching analysis was used. The cubic spline analysis of the odds ratio of CPC 1-2 for TTM use by time-to-ROSC was performed. Results: Out of 34,754 patients with OHCA, 5,261 patients were included. The mean age was 70.3 years, and 3,417 (65.0%) were male. CPC 1-2 was more frequently observed in the TTM group in propensity score matching analysis (15.1% vs. 8.5%; odds ratio 1.92; 95% confidence interval 1.04-3.53; P=0.037). The cubic spline analysis showed that TTM was associated with CPC 1-2 in witnessed OHCA patients, which did not reach statistical significance in patients with time-to-ROSC longer than 50 min. Conclusions: TTM was associated with better neurological outcomes in witnessed OHCA patients, especially when patients were resuscitated within 50 min after collapse.

We aimed to investigate intracranial pressure (ICP) changes over time and the neurologic prognosis for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors who received targeted temperature management (TTM). ICP was measured immediately after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (day 1), then at 24 h (day 2), 48 h (day 3), and 72 h (day 4), through connecting a lumbar drain catheter to a manometer or a LiquoGuard machine. Neurological outcomes were determined at 3 months after ROSC, and a poor neurological outcome was defined as Cerebral Performance Category 3–5. Of the 91 patients in this study (males, n = 67, 74%), 51 (56%) had poor neurological outcomes. ICP was significantly higher in the poor outcome group at each time point except day 4. ICP elevation was highest between days 2 and 3 in the good outcome group, and between days 1 and 2 in the poor outcome group. However, there was no difference in total ICP elevation between the poor and good outcome groups (3.0 vs. 3.1; p = 0.476). All OHCA survivors who had received TTM had elevated ICP, regardless of neurologic prognosis. However, the changing pattern of ICP levels differed depending on the neurological outcome.

Introduction: Targeted temperature management (TTM) has established evidence for improving neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest patients who sustained coma after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The target temperature has been recommended to be between 32 and 36 °C. However optimal temperature remains unestablished. This study aimed to assess the relationship between target temperature and neurological outcome by using the Japanese nationwide registry. Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study was based on the Japanese association for acute medicine - out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (JAAM-OHCA) registry during 2014 to 2017. Our study included all initial rhythms and any cause of OHCA patients and excluded age < 18 and Glasgow Coma Scale score > 8. The primary outcome was 30 day favorable neurological outcome, defined as cerebral performance category (CPC) scale 1 and 2. First, to clarify the efficacy of TTM, the neurological outcome was compared whether patients received TTM or not. Next, to evaluate the relationship between neurological outcome and target temperature on TTM, the neurological outcome was compared hypothermia (34 °C) group with normothermia (36 °C) group . Single and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. Results: The study included 9930 patients. Of these, 1184 (11.9%) patients received TTM. Favorable neurological outcome was more present in TTM group than in no TTM group (39.7% vs. 4.3%, odds ratio [OR] 14.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 12.5-17.1, p<0.001). Multivariable analysis showed TTM was associated with favorable neurological outcome (OR 1.6, 95%CI 1.1-2.3, p<0.001). Of TTM group, 801 (68.5%) patients received hypothermia management and 242 (20.7%) patients received normothermia management. Favorable neurological outcome was more present in the hypothermia group than in the normothermia group (42.6% vs. 34.3%, OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.1-1.9, p=0.022). However, the neurological outcome did not differ between these two groups (OR 0.84, 95%CI 0.46-1.5, p<0.57). Conclusions: TTM was significantly associated with favorable neurological outcome. However, neurological outcome was not associated with target temperature on TTM.

This study aimed to determine the prognostic ability of serial neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and lactate in cardiac arrest survivors treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) and to investigate whether a combination of NSE and lactate could increase prognostic information. This observational, retrospective, cohort study was conducted between January 2013 and December 2018; data were extracted from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry. We collected serial serum NSE and lactate levels during TTM. The primary endpoint was poor neurological outcome at 28 days from cardiac arrest. Of all 160 included patients, 98 (61.3%) had poor neurological outcomes. Areas under the curves (AUCs) for NSE were 0.797, 0.871, and 0.843 at 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively (all p < 0.05). AUCs for lactate were 0.669, 0.578, 0.634, and 0.620 at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively (all p < 0.05). Although the combination of initial lactate and NSE at 48 h yielded the highest discovered AUC (0.877) it was not statistically different from that for the 48 h NSE alone (p = 0.692). During the TTM, NSE at 48 h from cardiac arrest was the most robust prognostic marker in comatose cardiac arrest survivors. However, a combination of the 48 h NSE with lactate did not increase the prognostic information.
