Objectives: Early recognition and prevention of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) play an increasingly important role in the Chain of Survival. However, clinical tools for predicting IHCA in the emergency department (ED) are scanty. We sought to evaluate the role of serum lactate in predicting ED-based IHCA. Methods: Data were retrieved from 733,398 ED visits over a 7-year period in a tertiary medical centre. We selected one ED visit per person and excluded out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, children, or those without lactate measurements. Patient demographics, computerised triage information, and serum lactate levels were extracted. The initial serum lactate levels were grouped into normal (≤2 mmol/L), moderately elevated (2 < lactate ≤ 4), and highly elevated (>4 mmol/L) categories. The primary outcome was ED-based IHCA. Results: A total of 17,392 adult patients were included. Of them, 342 (2%) developed IHCA. About 50% of the lactate levels were normal, 30% were moderately elevated, and 20% were highly elevated. In multivariable analysis, the group with highly elevated lactate had an 18-fold increased risk of IHCA (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 18.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 11.5–28.2), compared with the normal lactate group. In subgroup analysis, the poor lactate-clearance group (<2.5%/h) was associated with a 7.5-fold higher risk of IHCA (adjusted OR, 7.5; 95%CI, 3.7–15.1) compared with the normal clearance group. Conclusions: Elevated lactate levels and poor lactate clearance were strongly associated with a higher risk of ED-based IHCA. Clinicians may consider a more liberal sampling of lactate in patients at higher risk of IHCA with follow-up of abnormal levels.

Background: The cardiac arrest hospital prognosis (CAHP) score has been shown in French studies to predict neurologic outcomes in patients who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but this score has not been studied in an American cohort. We aimed to validate the CAHP score in an independent, single center, large cardiac arrest registry. Methods: Between January 2015 to June 2020 there were 925 patients who suffered OHCA and were transferred to Northeast Georgia Medical Center out of whom 450 patients survived to hospital admission. Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score was used for assessment of neurologic outcome at discharge ranging from 1-5. The primary endpoint was poor neurologic outcome defined as CPC 3-5. Logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors of poor neurologic outcome. Results: Included patients were mostly male 57% (256 of 450) with a mean age of 52±15. STEMI was present on 11% (51 of 450) and a shockable rhythm on 35% (150 of 450) of patients. Targeted temperature management (TTM) and a mechanical compression device (MCD) were used in 72% (327 of 450) and 74% (336 of 450) respectively. 76% (344 of 450) had a CPC of 3-5 at discharge. After adjusting for covariates, including gender, BMI, serum lactate level, witnessed arrest status, STEMI on ECG, and use of MCD and TTM, the only independent predictors of a CPC of 3-5 were CAHP score (p<0.001), witnessed cardiac arrest, (p=0.039, OR: 0.45) and STEMI on admission ECG (P=0.001, OR: 0.22). Compared with CAHP< 150, CAHP 150-200 and CAHP>200 were associated with a 12-fold (p<0.00001) and 79-fold (p<0.00001) increased risk of poor neurologic outcome. Area under ROC curve for CAHP score predicting neurologic outcome was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.89-0.94). Conclusion: Here we show, for the first time, in an independent, large American cardiac arrest registry that CAHP score predicts neurologic outcomes in patients with OHCA. Further research is needed to assess how this prognostication tool would help clinicians decide on early vs. delayed invasive strategy in patients with OHCA admitted to hospitals across the U.S.

Hospital Cardiac Arrest

This study was to determine whether prolonged emergency department (ED) length of stay (LOS) is associated with increased risk of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). A retrospective cohort with a nationwide database of all adult patients who visited the EDs in South Korea between January 2016 and December 2017 was performed. A total of 18,217,034 patients visited an ED during the study period. The median ED LOS was 2.5 h. IHCA occurred in 9,180 patients (0.2%). IHCA was associated with longer ED LOS (4.2 vs. 2.5 h), and higher rates of intensive care unit (ICU) admission (58.6% vs. 4.7%) and in-hospital mortality (35.7% vs. 1.5%). The ED LOS correlated positively with the development of IHCA (Spearman ρ = 0.91; p < 0.01) and was an independent risk factor for IHCA (odds ratio (OR) 1.10; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.10–1.10). The development of IHCA increased in a stepwise fashion across increasing quartiles of ED LOS, with ORs for the second, third, and fourth relative to the first being 3.35 (95% CI, 3.26–3.44), 3.974 (95% CI, 3.89–4.06), and 4.97 (95% CI, 4.89–5.05), respectively. ED LOS should be reduced to prevent adverse events in patients visiting the ED.

AbstractThe quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score has been proposed as a means to rapidly identify adult patients with suspected infection, in pre-hospital, Emergency Department (ED), or general hospital ward locations, who are in a high-risk category with increased likelihood of “poor outcomes:” a greater than 10% chance of dying or an increased likelihood of spending 3 or more days in the ICU. This score is intended to replace the use of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria as a screening tool; however, its role in ED screening and identification has yet to be fully elucidated. In this retrospective observational study, we explored the performance of triage qSOFA (tqSOFA), maximum qSOFA, and first initial serum lactate (> 3 mmol/L) at predicting in-hospital mortality and compared these results to those for the initial SIRS criteria obtained in triage. A total of 2859 sepsis cases were included and the in-hospital mortality rate was 14.4%. The sensitivity of tqSOFA ≥ 2 and maximum qSOFA ≥ 2 to predict in-hospital mortality were 33% and 69%, respectively. For comparison, the triage SIRS criteria and the initial lactate > 3 mmol/L had sensitivities of 82% and 65%, respectively. These results demonstrate that in a large ED sepsis database the earliest measurement of end organ impairment, tqSOFA, performed poorly at identifying patients at increased risk of mortality and maximum qSOFA did not significantly outperform initial serum lactate levels.

The aim of this study was to assess the risk of unfavorable outcomes according to the timing of hypotension episodes in cardiac arrest patients. This prospectively conducted multicenter observational study included 1373 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients treated with 33 °C targeted temperature management (TTM). Unfavorable neurological outcome and the incidence of complications were analyzed according to the timing of hypotension. Compared with hypotension before TTM initiation (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.51), hypotension within 6 h after TTM initiation was associated with an increased risk of unfavorable neurologic outcome (aHR 1.693), and after 24 h of TTM, was connected with decreased risk (aHR 1.277). The risk of unfavorable neurological outcome was gradually reduced over time after TTM initiation. Hypotension, persisting both before and during TTM, demonstrated a greater risk (aHR 2) than transient hypotension (aHR 1.265). Hypotension was correlated with various complications. Differences in lactate levels were persistent, regardless of the initial fluid therapy (p < 0.001). Hypotension showed a strong correlation with unfavorable neurological outcome, especially in the early phase after TTM initiation, and complications. It is essential to manage hypotension that occurs at the beginning of TTM initiation to recover cerebral function in cardiac arrest patients.

Background: Serum lactate reflects hypoxic insult in many conditions, but its role as prognostic markers after cardiac arrest is still controversial. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum lactate levels during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: This study analyzed the data of the Osaka Comprehensive Registry of Intensive Care for OHCA Survival, a prospective multicenter observational study of 14 participating institutions in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. We enrolled consecutive patients aged ≥18 years who were transported to the hospital with ongoing CPR from 2013 to 2016. Based on the serum lactate levels, OHCA patients were divided into 4 quartiles: Q1 (lactate ≤10.6 mEq/L), Q2 (10.6< lactate ≤14.1 mEq/L), Q3 (14.1< lactate ≤18.0 mEq/L) and Q4 (lactate >18.0 mEq/L). The relationships between serum lactate level before return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and 1-month survival were assessed. Results: A total of 3,674 OHCA patients were included in the analysis. Overall 1-month survival was 2.3% (88/3,674). The Q1 group had the highest 1-month survival (4.6% [42/921]), followed by Q2 (2.7% [25/920]), Q3 (1.1% [11/966]) and Q4 (0.6% [5/867]), respectively (p for trend < 0.001). In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, the proportion of 1-month survival in the Q4 group was significantly lower, compared with that in the Q1 group (adjusted odds ratio 0.23; 95% confidence interval 0.09 to 0.60). The adjusted proportion of 1-month survival decreased in a stepwise manner across increasing quartiles (p for trend <0.001). In a subgroup analysis by initial rhythm, there was a significant interaction (p=0.003) between the rhythms: 1-month survival of OHCA patients presented with a non-shockable rhythm decreased when the lactate levels increased (p for trend < 0.001), but in patients with a shockable rhythm the similar trend was not observed (p for trend = 0.574). Conclusions: The high serum lactate level before ROSC significantly associated with the worse 1-month survival after OHCA. Serum lactate may be one of the effective prognostic indications for OHCA during CPR, especially with non-shockable initial rhythm.

Abstract Background: Serum lactate reflects hypoxic insult in many conditions, but its role as prognostic markers after cardiac arrest is still controversial. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum lactate levels during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).Methods:We analyzed the data of the Osaka Comprehensive Registry of Intensive Care for OHCA Survival (CRITICAL) study, a prospective multicenter observational study of 14 participating institutions in Osaka Prefecture, Japan that enrolled consecutive OHCA patients. We included adult nontraumatic OHCA patients transported to the hospital with ongoing CPR from 2013 to 2017. Based on the serum lactate levels during CPR, the patients were divided into four quartiles: Q1 (lactate ≤ 10.6 mEq/L), Q2 (10.6 < lactate ≤ 14.1 mEq/L), Q3 (14.1 < lactate ≤ 18.0 mEq/L), and Q4 (lactate > 18.0 mEq/L). The primary outcome of this study was 1-month survival. Results:A total of 11,960 patients were registered and 4,978 of them were eligible for our analyses. The Q1 group had the highest 1-month survival (4.3% [53/1,245]), followed by Q2 (2.5% [31/1,245]), Q3 (1.1% [14/1,328]), and Q4 (0.5% [6/1,160]) groups. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, the proportion of 1-month survival in the Q4 group was significantly lower than that in the Q1 group (adjusted odds ratio 0.21; 95% confidence interval 0.086 to 0.50). One-month survival decreased in a stepwise manner as the quartiles increased (p for trend <0.001). In subgroup analysis, there was a significant interaction between initial rhythm and survival (p for interaction <0.001); 1-month survival of patients with a non-shockable rhythm decreased when the lactate levels increased (p for trend <0.001), but not in patients with a shockable rhythm (p for trend =0.76).CONCLUSION:High serum lactate level during CPR was associated with poor 1-month survival in OHCA patients. Serum lactate may be one of the effective prognostic indications for OHCA during CPR, especially in patients with non-shockable rhythm.
