We evaluated the association between early coronary angiography (CAG) and outcomes in resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, by linking data from the Singapore Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study, with a national registry of cardiac procedures. The 30-day survival and neurological outcome were compared between patients undergoing early CAG (within 1-calender day), versus patients not undergoing early CAG. Inverse probability weighted estimates (IPWE) adjusted for non-randomized CAG. Of 976 resuscitated OHCA patients of cardiac etiology between 2011–2015 (mean(SD) age 64(13) years, 73.7% males), 337 (34.5%) underwent early CAG, of whom, 230 (68.2%) underwent PCI. Those who underwent early CAG were significantly younger (60(12) vs. 66(14) years old), healthier (42% vs. 59% with heart disease; 29% vs. 44% with diabetes), more likely males (86% vs. 67%), and presented with shockable rhythms (69% vs. 36%), compared with those who did not. Early CAG with PCI was associated with better survival and neurological outcome (adjusted odds ratio 1.91 and 1.82 respectively), findings robust to IPWE adjustment. The rates of bleeding and stroke were similar. CAG with PCI within 24 h was associated with improved clinical outcomes after OHCA, without increasing complications. Further studies are required to identify the characteristics of patients who would benefit most from this invasive strategy.

Background: Delay in administration of the first epinephrine dose has been shown to be associated with a lower chance of good outcome in adult, in-hospital, non-shockable cardiac arrest. Whether this association is true in pediatric in-hospital non-shockable cardiac arrest remains unknown. Methods: We utilized the Get With the Guidelines - Resuscitation national registry to identify pediatric patients (age < 18 years) with an in-hospital cardiac arrest between 2000 and 2010. We included patients with an initial non-shockable rhythm who received at least one dose of epinephrine. To assess the association between time to epinephrine administration and survival to discharge we used multivariate logistic regression models with adjustment for multiple predetermined variables including age, gender, illness category, pre-existing mechanical ventilation, monitored, witnessed, location, time of the day/week, year of arrest, insertion of an airway, initial rhythm, time to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hospital type and hospital teaching status. Secondary outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and neurological outcome. Results: 1,131 patients were included. Median age was 9 months (quartiles: 21 days - 6 years) and 46% were female. Overall survival to hospital discharge was 29%. Longer time to epinephrine was negatively associated with survival to discharge in multivariate analysis (OR: 0.94 [95%CI: 0.90 - 0.98], per minute delay). Longer time to epinephrine was negatively associated with ROSC (OR: 0.93 [95%CI: 0.90 - 0.97], per minute delay) but was not statistically significantly associated with survival with good neurological outcome (OR: 0.95 [95%CI: 0.89 - 1.03], per minute delay). Conclusions: Delay in administration of epinephrine during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest with a non-shockable rhythm is associated with a lower chance of ROSC and lower survival to hospital discharge.

Abstract Purpose To establish cut-offs for neuromarkers such as neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100 predicting good neurological outcome for patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) as current cut-offs had been derived from normothermic cohorts. Methods Consecutive data of all patients with OHCA admitted to our institution between 01/2011 and 12/2016 were collected in a database. Patient received standard intensive care according to the Hannover Cardiac Resuscitation Algorithm (HaCRA) including mandatory hypothermia. Neurological markers such as neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100 have been used to assess neurological damage following OHCA. Results Mean age of overall patient population (n=302) was 63±14 [54–74] years with a male predominance (77%). Cardiac arrest was witnessed in 81% and bystander cardiopulmonal resuscitation (CPR) was performed in 67%. Initial rhythm was ventricular fibrillation in 69%. ROSC had been achieved after 24±17 minutes. Hypothermia was applied in all patients. In 95% percutaneous coronary angiography and in 57% of them coronary intervention was performed. After ROSC, STEMI was present in 44%. Mechanical support was required in 19%. 30 day mortality was 44% in the total cohort. Mean NSE was 27±69 μg/l, mean NSE with good neurological outcome was 20±8.7 μg/l, highest NSE with good neurological outcome was 46 μg/l. Mean S-100 was 0.114±2.037μg/l, mean S-100 with good neurological outcome was 0.068±0.067 μg/l, highest S-100 with good neurological outcome was 0.360 μg/l. Conclusion Even when using a strict protocol for OHCA patients and routinely applying therapeutic hypothermia, the cut-offs for NSE and S-100 regarding good neurological outcome are similar to those reported before without therapeutic hypothermia, but they must not be used solitary to withdraw life support as even very high markers can be associated with goof neurological outcome in individual patients.

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: We investigated the association between initial ST-segment change after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and the incidence of acute coronary lesions in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and clinical outcomes of patients with OHCA caused by vasospastic angina pectoris (VSA). Methods: Among 2779 OHCA patients in our institution, all patients with ROSC underwent emergent coronary angiography (CAG) except for those with an obvious extra-cardiac cause of OHCA. Initial ST-segment changes after ROSC were reviewed, and 30-day survival and neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category) were evaluated. Results: Of the 155 patients, 52 (34%) had ST-segment elevation (STE) and 103 (66%) had non-STE. Significant coronary culprit lesions were present in 81% of patients with STE and in 33% of patients with non-STE ( P<.001). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was successful in 60 patients (93.8%) and failed in 4 patients (6.2%). Among 155 patients, 74 patients (47.7%) had favorable neurological prognosis, and 104 patients (67.1%) were alive at 30 days. ST-segment analysis showed good positive predictive value (81%) but low negative predictive value (68%) in diagnosing the presence of acute coronary lesions. VSA was found in 5 patients (9.6%) in the STE group and in 12 patients (11.7%) in the non-STE group. Of these 17 patients, 9 (52.9%) had favorable neurological outcome and 14 (82.4%) were alive at 30 days. Conclusion: An acute culprit lesion may be the cause of OHCA even in the absence of STE. In survivors of OHCA with normal coronary arteries, spasm provocation testing should be performed to detect VSA as a cause of the arrest.

BackgroundAlthough acute myocardial infarction is a common cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), the role of early coronary angiography in OHCA remains uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis of observational studies to determine the association of early coronary angiography with survival in OHCA.MethodsWe searched multiple electronic databases for published studies on early coronary angiography in OHCA between 1 January 1990 and 18 January 2017. Studies were included if (1) restricted to only OHCA, (2) included an exposure group that underwent early coronary angiography within 1  day of arrest onset and a concurrent control group that did not undergo early coronary angiography, and (3) reported survival outcomes. We used a random-effects model to obtain pooled OR. I2 statistics and Cochran’s Q test were used to determine between-study heterogeneity.ResultsA total of 17 studies with 14 972 patients were included, of whom 6424 (44%) received early coronary angiography. Early coronary angiography was associated with higher odds of survival (pooled OR 2.54 (95% CI 1.94 to 3.33)) and survival with favourable neurological outcome (pooled OR 2.37 (95%  CI 1.71 to 3.28)). However, there was substantial heterogeneity in our pooled estimate (I2=88%  and p value for Cochran’s test <0.0001 for both outcomes). The large heterogeneity in pooled estimates was reduced after including adjusted estimates when available, and was explained by differences in methodological rigour and characteristics of included studies.ConclusionAmong patients resuscitated from OHCA, early coronary angiography is associated with increased survival to discharge and favourable neurological outcome.

Abstract Background Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with either extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or Impella has shown potential as a salvage therapy for patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The objective of this study was to describe the gradual implementation, survival and adherence to the national consensus with respect to use of MCS for OHCA in Denmark, and to identify factors associated with outcome. Methods This retrospective, observational cohort study included patients receiving MCS for OHCA at all tertiary cardiac arrest centers (n = 4) in Denmark between July 2011 and December 2020. Logistic regression and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis were used to determine association with outcome. Outcome was presented as survival to hospital discharge with good neurological outcome, 30-day survival and predictors of 30-day mortality. Results A total of 259 patients were included in the study. Thirty-day survival was 26%. Sixty-five (25%) survived to hospital discharge and a good neurological outcome (Glasgow–Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Categories 1–2) was observed in 94% of these patients. Strict adherence to the national consensus showed a 30-day survival rate of 30% compared with 22% in patients violating one or more criteria. Adding criteria to the national consensus such as signs of life during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), pre-hospital low-flow < 100 min, pH > 6.8 and lactate < 15 mmol/L increased the survival rate to 48%, but would exclude 58% of the survivors from the current cohort. Logistic regression identified asystole (RR 1.36, 95% CI 1.18–1.57), pulseless electrical activity (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.03–1.41), initial pH < 6.8 (RR 1.28, 95% CI 1.12–1.46) and lactate levels > 15 mmol/L (RR 1.16, 95% CI 1.16–1.53) as factors associated with increased risk of 30-day mortality. Patients presenting signs of life during CPR had reduced risk of 30-day mortality (RR 0.63, 95% CI 0.52–0.76). Conclusions A high survival rate with a good neurological outcome was observed in this Danish population of patients treated with MCS for OHCA. Stringent patient selection for MCS may produce higher survival rates but potentially withholds life-saving treatment in a significant proportion of survivors.

Abstract Background Transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) indices of myocardial function among survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have been related to neurological outcome; however, results are inconsistent. We hypothesized that changes in average peak systolic mitral annular velocity (s’) from 24 h (h) to 72 h following start of targeted temperature management (TTM) predict six-month neurological outcome in comatose OHCA survivors. Methods We investigated the association between peak systolic velocity of the mitral plane (s’) and six-month neurological outcome in a population of 99 patients from a randomised controlled trial comparing TTM at 33 ± 1 °C for 24 h (h) (n = 47) vs. 48 h (n = 52) following OHCA (TTH48-trial). TTE was conducted at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after reaching target temperature. The primary outcome was 180 days neurological outcome assessed by Cerebral Performance Category score (CPC180) and the primary TTE outcome measure was s’. Secondary outcome measures were left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), e’, E/e’ and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE). Results Across all three scan time points s’ was not associated with neurological outcome (ORs: 24 h: 1.0 (95%CI: 0.7–1.4, p = 0.98), 48 h: 1.13 (95%CI: 0.9–1.4, p = 0.34), 72 h: 1.04 (95%CI: 0.8–1.4, p = 0.76)). LVEF, GLS, E/e’, and TAPSE recorded on serial TTEs following OHCA were neither associated with nor did they predict CPC180. Estimated median e’ at 48 h following TTM was 5.74 cm/s (95%CI: 5.27–6.22) in patients with good outcome (CPC180 1–2) vs. 4.95 cm/s (95%CI: 4.37–5.54) in patients with poor outcome (CPC180 3–5) (p = 0.04). Conclusions s’ assessed on serial TTEs in comatose survivors of OHCA treated with TTM was not associated with CPC180. Our findings suggest that serial TTEs in the early post-resuscitation phase during TTM do not aid the prognostication of neurological outcome following OHCA. Trial registration NCT02066753.
