Abstract Introduction: The management of out-of-hospital traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) for professional rescuers entails Advanced Life Support (ALS) with specific actions to treat the potential reversible causes of the arrest: hypovolemia, hypoxemia, tension pneumothorax (TPx), and tamponade. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of specific rescue measures on short-term outcomes in the context of resuscitating patients with a TCA. Methods: This retrospective study concerns all TCA patients treated in two emergency medical units, which are part of the Northern French Alps Emergency Network (RENAU), from January 2004 through December 2017. Utstein variables and specific rescue measures in TCA were compiled: fluid expansion, pelvic stabilization, tourniquet application, bilateral thoracostomy, and thoracotomy procedures. The primary endpoint was survival rate at Day 30 with good neurological status (Cerebral Performance Category [CPC] score CPC 1 and CPC 2). Results: In total, 287 resuscitation attempts in TCA were included and 279 specific interventions were identified: 262 fluid expansions, 41 pelvic stabilizations, five tourniquets, and 175 bilateral thoracostomies (including 44 with TPx). Conclusion: Among the standard resuscitation measures to treat the reversible causes of cardiac arrest, this study found that bilateral thoracostomy and tourniquet application on a limb hemorrhage improve survival in TCA. A larger sample for pelvic stabilization is needed.

Objective: To characterize compliance with good practices in medical gas management in federal teaching hospitals in Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional survey-type study, designed to perform a situational diagnosis of the pharmacy services in 40 federal teaching hospitals in Brazil linked to the Brazilian Hospital Services Company, with respect to compliance with good practices in gas management, through the application of the ABPGasMed 1.0 instrument. This instrument consists of 54 compliance standards divided into two sections (structure and process). The characterization of research participants and hospitals, and the classification of hospitals in terms of performance categories were expressed as absolute and relative values. Chi-square tests of independence were performed to investigate the association between the hospital’s performance category and the hospital’s geographic region and size. Results: In total, 87.5% of the invited hospitals participated in the study, and only 27.59% of the hospitals had a pharmacist responsible for medicinal gases. Pharmacovigilance was performed by pharmacists in 20.59% of the hospitals. Analyzing the hospitals by region of the country and size, statistically significant associations were found between the general classification of hospitals and the geographic region (x2(8)=18.936, p= 0.015), as well as the classification of the hospital and structure and size (x2(9)= 20.373, p= 0.016). Analyses of the adjusted standardized residues returned an association between the southeastern region and the satisfactory performance category when analyzing the entire instrument, and between the excellent performance category in the structure section and size of a small hospital. Conclusion: In most of the hospitals studied, management of medicinal gases did not show the desired performance, which indicates the need to comply with current healthcare legislations and improve the provided services. It is believed that compliance rates may evolve training of healthcare team members, with an emphasis on the pharmacist.

We aimed to determine the association of vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) and vasoactive-ventilation-renal (VVR) score with in-hospital mortality and functional outcomes at discharge of children who receive ECMO. A sub-analysis of the multicenter, prospectively collected data by the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network (CPCCRN) for Bleeding and Thrombosis on ECMO (BATE database) was conducted. Of the 514 patients who received ECMO across eight centers from December 2012 to February 2016, 421 were included in the analysis. Patients > 18 years of age, patients placed on ECMO directly from cardiopulmonary bypass or as an exit procedure, or patients with an invalid or missing VIS score were excluded. Higher VIS (OR = 1.008, 95% CI: 1.002–1.014, p = 0.011) and VVR (OR: 1.006, 95% CI: 1.001–1.012, p = 0.023) were associated with increased mortality. VIS was associated with worse Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) (OR = 1.027, 95% CI: 1.010–1.044, p = 0.002) and Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC) score (OR = 1.023, 95% CI: 1.009–1.038, p = 0.002) at discharge. No association was found between VIS or VVR and Functional Status Score (FSS) at discharge. Using multivariable analyses, controlling for ECMO mode, ECMO location, ECMO indication, primary diagnosis, and chronic diagnosis, extremely high VIS and VVR were still associated with increased mortality.

Abstract Background This study aimed to assess the prognostic value regarding neurologic outcome of CT neuroimaging based Gray-White-Matter-Ratio measurement in patients after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Methods We retrospectively evaluated CT neuroimaging studies of 91 comatose patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest and 46 non-comatose controls. We tested the diagnostic performance of Gray-White-Matter-Ratio compared with established morphologic signs of hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury, e. g. loss of distinction between gray and white matter, and laboratory parameters, i. e. neuron-specific enolase, for the prediction of poor neurologic outcomes after resuscitated cardiac arrest. Primary endpoint was neurologic function assessed with cerebral performance category score 30 days after the index event. Results Gray-White-Matter-Ratio showed encouraging interobserver variability (ICC 0.670 [95% CI: 0.592–0.741] compared to assessment of established morphologic signs of hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (Fleiss kappa 0.389 [95% CI: 0.320–0.457]) in CT neuroimaging studies. It correlated with cerebral performance category score with lower Gray-White-Matter-Ratios associated with unfavourable neurologic outcomes. A cut-off of 1.17 derived from the control population predicted unfavourable neurologic outcomes in adult survivors of cardiac arrest with 100% specificity, 50.3% sensitivity, 100% positive predictive value, and 39.3% negative predictive value. Gray-White-Matter-Ratio prognostic power depended on the time interval between circulatory arrest and CT imaging, with increasing sensitivity the later the image acquisition was executed. Conclusions A reduced Gray-White-Matter-Ratio is a highly specific prognostic marker of poor neurologic outcomes early after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Sensitivity seems to be dependent on the time interval between circulatory arrest and image acquisition, with limited value within the first 12 h.

Introduction: Favorable survivorship after pediatric extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may be limited by prolonged resuscitations. Surgical cannulation metrics for pediatric ECPR have not been widely reported by centers that use time interval benchmarks with a cardiovascular service responding to different hospital locations. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that survival is associated with resuscitation duration, and cannulation duration differs between peripheral and central approaches. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study of patients 0-18 years with in-hospital ECPR between January 2015 and December 2020. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes were odds of favorable neurologic outcome (dichotomized pediatric cerebral performance category), total resuscitation duration defined as cardiac arrest start to ECMO flow start (CA-ECMO), and cannulation duration. Non-parametric and regression methods were used. Results: Of the 92 events that met ECPR criteria, median weight and age were 4 months (IQR 1 month, 16 years) and 4.4 kg (range 1.9-133 kg). Cannulation occurred in the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) (66%, 61 of 92), followed by operating room (13%, 12 of 92), pediatric ICU (12%, 11 of 92), and catheterization lab (9%, 8 of 92). Central cannulation was performed in 43% (40 of 92), and 21% (19 of 92) had open chests at the time of the event. Median duration of CA-ECMO was 35 min (IQR 26, 45 min); cannulation duration was 11 min (IQR 5, 16.5 min) for central compared to 18.5 min (IQR 12, 23 min) for peripheral approaches (P=0.01). Survival was 40% (37 of 92), and favorable neurologic outcome occurred in 38% (35 of 92). Survival (adjusted OR, 0.94; 95% CI 0.91-0.99, P=0.018) and favorable neurologic outcome (adjusted OR, 0.95; 95% CI 0.917-1.000, P=0.053) were associated with CA-ECMO duration after adjusting for cannulation approach, location, difficulty, shockable rhythm, and weight. Conclusion: In pediatric in-hospital ECPR, total CA-ECMO duration remains a key metric associated with patient outcomes. Central cannulation is faster than peripheral approaches. Since cannulation strategy alters CPR maneuvers, CPR effectiveness with each approach needs further study.

Introduction: Several small studies have reported variable outcomes following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in patients with COVID-19. A clear estimate is important in prognostication and guiding resuscitation efforts and policies for these patients. Methods: A search of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases was conducted to identify studies reporting outcomes after IHCA in adult patients with confirmed COVID-19. The cumulative characteristics of the patients were described. The primary outcome studied was survival at 30 days or at hospital discharge (short term survival). Additional outcomes of interest were proportional prevalence of the initial rhythm at arrest, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and neurological recovery (defined as Cerebral Performance Category Score of 1-2 ). Metanalysis of proportions was performed utilizing the Metaprop command. A random effects model was chosen to account for interstudy variance. Results: A total of 13 eligible studies were identified and included in the analyses. Out of all the hospitalized patients with COVID-19, 1,618 underwent advanced cardiac resuscitation after an IHCA. Patients who had a cardiac arrest had a median age between 50-69 years. IHCA occurred predominantly in men, and in the ICU setting. Shockable rhythms were identified in 8% (95% CI 5-10%, I2; 56%) and non-shockable rhythms in 89% (95% CI 85-94% I2; 84%) of patients (Fig. 1a). ROSC was achieved in 40% (95% CI 31-48% I2; 90%) (Fig. 1b). Only 7 % ( 95% CI 3-12% I2; 86%) of patients survived at 30 days/hospital discharge (Fig. 1c). Neurological recovery was seen in 5% (95% CI 3-9% I2; 67%) of patients who suffered a IHCA (Fig. 1d). Conclusions: Our meta-analysis demonstrates the majority of the cardiac arrests in patients with COVID-19 have non-shockable rhythms. Survival rate in these patients is low, and neurological recovery is unfavorable. This study provides further insight in guiding resuscitation efforts in these patients.

Abstract Background Few data are available about outcomes of patients screened for, but not enrolled in, randomised clinical trials. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients who had non-inclusion criteria for the HYPERION trial comparing 33 °C to 37 °C in patients comatose after cardiac arrest in non-shockable rhythm, due to any cause. A good neurological outcome was defined as a day-90 Cerebral Performance Category score of 1 or 2. Results Of the 1144 patients with non-inclusion criteria, 1130 had day-90 information and, among these, 158 (14%) had good functional outcomes, compared to 7.9% overall in the HYPERION trial (10.2% with and 5.7% without hypothermia). Considerable centre-to-centre variability was found in the proportion of non-included patients who received hypothermia (0% to 83.8%) and who had good day-90 functional outcomes (0% to 31.3%). The proportion of patients with a good day-90 functional outcome was significantly higher with than without hypothermia (18.5% vs. 11.9%, P = 0.003). Conclusion Our finding of better functional outcomes without than with inclusion in the HYPERION trial, despite most non-inclusion criteria being of adverse prognostic significance (e.g., long no-flow and low-flow times and haemodynamic instability), raises important questions about the choice of patient selection criteria and the applicability of trial results to everyday practice. At present, reserving hypothermia for patients without predictors of poor prognosis seems open to criticism.
