RESUMO

Background: Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) has traditionally been used as a biomarker to predict neurologic outcomes after cardiac arrest. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of NSE in predicting neurologic outcomes in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods: This observational cohort study included 47 consecutive adult ECPR patients (median age, 59.0 years; 74.5% males) treated between January 2018 and December 2021 at a tertiary extracorporeal life support center. The primary outcome was a poor neurologic outcome, defined as a Cerebral Performance Category score of 3-5 at hospital discharge. Results: Twelve (25.5%) patients had abnormal findings on computed tomography of the brain. A poor neurologic outcome was demonstrated in 22 (46.8%) patients. The NSE level at 72 h after ECPR showed the best prediction power for a poor neurologic outcome compared with NSE at 24 and 48 h. A cutoff value exceeding 61.9 µg/L for NSE at 72 h yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.791 for predicting poor neurologic outcomes and exceeding 62.1 µg/L with an AUC of 0.838 for 30-day mortality. Conclusions: NSE levels at 72 h after ECPR appear to be a reliable biomarker for predicting poor neurologic outcomes and 30-day mortality in ECPR patients.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: More than 1.2 million pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) are used in cardiac patients per annum within the United States. However, it is contraindicated in traditional 1.5 and 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. We aimed to test preclinical and clinical safety of using this imaging modality given the potential utility of needing it in the clinical setting. METHODS: We conducted two phantom experiments to ensure that the electromagnetic field power deposition associated with bare and jacketed PACs was safe and within the acceptable limit established by the Food and Drug Administration. The primary end points were the safety and feasibility of performing Point-of-Care (POC) MRI without imaging-related adverse events. We performed a preclinical computational electromagnetic simulation and evaluated these findings in nine patients with PACs on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. RESULTS: The phantom experiments showed that the baseline point specific absorption rate through the head averaged 0.4 W/kg. In both the bare and jacketed catheters, the highest net specific absorption rates were at the neck entry point and tip but were negligible and unlikely to cause any heat-related tissue or catheter damage. In nine patients (median age 66, interquartile range 42-72 y) with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to cardiogenic shock and PACs placed for close hemodynamic monitoring, POC MRI was safe and feasible with good diagnostic imaging quality. CONCLUSIONS: Adult ECMO patients with PACs can safely undergo point-of-care low-field (64 mT) brain MRI within a reasonable timeframe in an intensive care unit setting to assess for acute brain injury that might otherwise be missed with conventional head computed tomography.

RESUMO

Early detection of acute brain injury (ABI) is critical to intensive care unit (ICU) patient management and intervention to decrease major complications. Head CT (HCT) is the standard of care for the assessment of ABI in ICU patients; however, it has limited sensitivity compared to MRI. We retrospectively compared the ability of ultra-low-field portable MR (ULF-pMR) and head HCT, acquired within 24 h of each other, to detect ABI in ICU patients supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A total of 17 adult patients (median age 55 years; 47% male) were included in the analysis. Of the 17 patients assessed, ABI was not observed on either ULF-pMR or HCT in eight patients (47%). ABI was observed in the remaining nine patients with a total of 10 events (8 ischemic, 2 hemorrhagic). Of the eight ischemic events, ULF-pMR observed all eight, while HCT only observed four events. Regarding hemorrhagic stroke, ULF-pMR observed only one of them, while HCT observed both. ULF-pMR outperformed HCT for the detection of ABI, especially ischemic injury, and may offer diagnostic advantages for ICU patients. The lack of sensitivity to hemorrhage may improve with modification of the imaging acquisition program.

RESUMO

Purpose: Early detection of acute brain injury (ABI) is critical for improving survival for patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. We aimed to evaluate the safety of ultra-low-field portable MRI (ULF-pMRI) and the frequency and types of ABI observed during ECMO support. Methods: We conducted a multicenter prospective observational study (NCT05469139) at two academic tertiary centers (August 2022-November 2023). Primary outcomes were safety and validation of ULF-pMRI in ECMO, defined as exam completion without adverse events (AEs); secondary outcomes were ABI frequency and type. Results: ULF-pMRI was performed in 50 patients with 34 (68%) on venoarterial (VA)-ECMO (11 central; 23 peripheral) and 16 (32%) with venovenous (VV)-ECMO (9 single lumen; 7 double lumen). All patients were imaged successfully with ULF-pMRI, demonstrating discernible intracranial pathologies with good quality. AEs occurred in 3 (6%) patients (2 minor; 1 serious) without causing significant clinical issues.ABI was observed in ULF-pMRI scans for 22 patients (44%): ischemic stroke (36%), intracranial hemorrhage (6%), and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (4%). Of 18 patients with both ULF-pMRI and head CT (HCT) within 24 hours, ABI was observed in 9 patients with 10 events: 8 ischemic (8 observed on ULF-oMRI, 4 on HCT) and 2 hemorrhagic (1 observed on ULF-pMRI, 2 on HCT). Conclusions: ULF-pMRI was shown to be safe and valid in ECMO patients across different ECMO cannulation strategies. The incidence of ABI was high, and ULF-pMRI may more sensitive to ischemic ABI than HCT. ULF-pMRI may benefit both clinical care and future studies of ECMO-associated ABI.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Despite the common occurrence of neurologic complications during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, data on long-term neuropsychiatric, neurocognitive, and functional outcomes are sparse. We aimed to determine the prevalence of long-term neuropsychiatric symptoms, neurocognitive and functional impairment, and favorable neurologic outcomes in adult patients who receive ECMO. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for text related to ECMO and neuropsychiatric, neurocognitive, and functional outcomes from inception to May 3, 2023. Our primary outcome was the prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms (pain/discomfort, anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], and sleep disturbance) at long-term (≥6 months) follow-up. Our secondary outcomes were the prevalence of neurocognitive impairment (memory, attention, and reasoning), functional impairment (daily activities, physical activity/mobility, and personal/self-care), and favorable neurologic outcomes (Cerebral Performance Category ≤2, modified Rankin scale ≤3, or Glasgow Outcome Scale ≥4). This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023420565). RESULTS: We included 59 studies with 3,280 patients (median age 54 years, 69% male). The cohort consisted of 86% venoarterial (VA)-ECMO (n = 2,819) and 14% venovenous (VV)-ECMO (n = 461) patients. More than 10 tools were used to assess neuropsychiatric and neurocognitive outcomes, indicating a lack of standardization in assessment methodologies. The overall prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms was 41% (95% CI 33%-49%): pain/discomfort (52%, 95% CI 42%-63%), sleep disturbance (37%, 95% CI 0%-98%), anxiety (36%, 95% CI 27%-46%), depression (31%, 95% CI 22%-40%), and PTSD (18%, 95% CI 9%-29%). The prevalence of neurocognitive impairment was 38% (95% CI 13%-65%). The prevalence of functional impairment was 52% (95% CI 40%-64%): daily activities (54%, 95% CI 41%-66%), mobility (41%, 95% CI 28%-54%), and self-care (21%, 95% CI 13%-31%). The prevalence of neuropsychiatric symptoms in VV-ECMO patients was higher than that in VA-ECMO patients (55% [95% CI 34%-75%] vs 32% [95% CI 23%-41%], p = 0.01), though the prevalence of neurocognitive and functional impairment was not different between the groups. The prevalence of favorable neurologic outcomes was not different at various follow-ups: 3 months (23%, 95% CI 12%-36%), 6 months (25%, 95% CI 16%-35%), and ≥1 year (28%, 95% CI 21%-36%, p = 0.68). DISCUSSION: A substantial proportion of ECMO patients seemed to experience neuropsychiatric symptoms and neurocognitive and functional impairments at long-term follow-up. Considerable heterogeneity in methodology for gauging these outcomes exists, warranting the need for standardization. Multicenter prospective observational studies are indicated to further investigate risk factors for these outcomes in ECMO-supported patients.
