RESUMO
Importance: Prehospital advanced airway management with either initial endotracheal intubation (ETI) or initial supraglottic airway (SGA) insertion in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains controversial. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of ETI and SGA in patients with nontraumatic OHCA. Design, Setting, and Participants: The Supraglottic Airway Device vs Endotracheal intubation (SAVE) trial was a multicenter cluster randomized clinical trial conducted in Taipei City, Taiwan. Individuals aged 20 years or older who experienced nontraumatic OHCA requiring advanced airway management and were treated by participating emergency medical service agencies were enrolled from November 11, 2016, to December 31, 2019. The final day of follow-up was February 19, 2020. Interventions: Four advanced life support ambulance teams were divided into 2 randomization clusters, with each cluster assigned to either ETI or SGA in a biweekly period. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome of the SAVE trial was sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (≥2 hours) after resuscitation. Secondary outcomes included prehospital ROSC, survival to hospital discharge, and favorable neurologic outcome, defined as a cerebral performance category score less than or equal to 2. Prespecified subgroups and the association between time to advanced airways were explored. Per protocol and intention-to-treat analysis were performed. Results: A total of 936 patients (517 in the ETI group and 419 in the SGA group) were included in the primary analysis (median age, 77 [IQR, 62-85] years; 569 men [60.8%]). The first-attempt airway success rates were 77% with ETI (n = 413) and 83% with SGA (n = 360). Sustained ROSC was 26.9% (n = 139) in the ETI group vs 25.8% (n = 108) in the SGA group. The odds ratio of sustained ROSC was 1.02 (95% CI, 0.98-1.06) in the ETI group vs SGA group. The odds ratio of ETA vs SGA was 1.04 (95% CI, 1.02-1.07) for prehospital ROSC, 1.00 (95% CI, 0.94-1.06) for survival to hospital discharge, and 0.99 (95% CI, 0.94-1.03) for cerebral performance category scores less than or equal to 2. Conclusions and Relevance: In this randomized clinical trial, among patients with OHCA, initial airway management with ETI did not result in a favorable outcome of sustained ROSC compared with SGA device insertion. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02967952.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the unassisted return of spontaneous circulation following withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment in a child. DESIGN: Case report based on clinical observation and medical record review. SETTING: Community Children's Hospital. PATIENT: Two-year old child. INTERVENTIONS: Following hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, the child was taken to the operating room for withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment during controlled donation after circulatory determination of death. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: In addition to direct observation by experienced pediatric critical care providers, the child was monitored with electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, and invasive blood pressure via femoral arterial catheter in addition to direct observation by experienced pediatric critical care providers. Unassisted return of spontaneous circulation occurred greater than 2 minutes following circulatory arrest and was accompanied by return of respiration. CONCLUSIONS: We provide the first report of unassisted return of spontaneous circulation following withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment in a child. In our case, return of spontaneous circulation occurred in the setting of controlled donation after circulatory determination of death and was accompanied by return of respiration. Return of spontaneous circulation greater than 2 minutes following circulatory arrest in our patient indicates that 2 minutes of observation is insufficient to ensure that cessation of circulation is permanent after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment in a child.

Some evidence suggests that both hypothermia and anesthesia can exert similar effects on metabolism and ventilation. This study examined the synergistic effects of anesthesia and hypothermia on ventilation in spontaneously breathing adult mice under three different conditions, that is, (1) pentobarbital group (n = 7) in which mice were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital of 80 mg/kg, (2) sevoflurane-continued group (n = 7) in which mice were anesthetized with 1 MAC sevoflurane, and (3) sevoflurane-discontinued group (n = 7) in which sevoflurane was discontinued at a body temperature below 22ËC. We cooled mice in each group until breathing ceased and followed this with artificial rewarming while measuring changes in respiratory variables and heart rate. We found that the body temperature at which respiration arrested is much lower in the sevoflurane-discontinued group (13.8 ± 2.0ËC) than that in the sevoflurane-continued group (16.7 ± 1.2ËC) and the pentobarbital group (17.0 ± 1.4ËC). Upon rewarming, all animals in all three groups spontaneously recovered from respiratory arrest. There was a considerable difference in breathing patterns between sevoflurane-anesthetized mice and pentobarbital-anesthetized mice during progressive hypothermia in terms of changes in tidal volume and respiratory frequency. The changes in the respiratory pattern during rewarming are nearly mirrored images of the changes observed during cooling in all three groups. These observations indicate that adult mice are capable of autoresuscitation from hypothermic respiratory arrest and that anesthesia and hypothermia exert synergistic effects on the occurrence of respiratory arrest while the type of anesthetic affects the breathing pattern that occurs during progressive hypothermia leading to respiratory arrest.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between hypotension and neurologic outcome in adults with return of spontaneous circulation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS: Blood pressure and medication data were extracted from adult patients who had ROSC after OHCA in Alameda County and matched with neurologic outcome using the CARES database from January 1, 2018 through July 1, 2019. We used univariate logistic regression with p ≤ 0.2 followed by multivariate logistic regression and reported an odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: Among the 781 adult patients who had ROSC after OHCA, 107 (13.7%) were noted to be hypotensive and 61 (57% of the hypotensive group) received vasopressors. Patients with a final prehospital blood pressure recording of <90 mmHg were more likely to have a poor neurologic outcome (adjusted odds ratio 2.13, adj p = 0.048). About twice as many patients who were not hypotensive had a good neurologic outcome compared to hypotensive patients who had a good neurologic outcome (23% to 10.3%). Additionally, patients who were hypotensive and did not receive vasopressors had a similar neurologic outcome compared to patients who did receive vasopressors. CONCLUSION: Prehospital post-ROSC hypotension was associated with worse neurologic outcome and giving hypotensive patients vasopressors may not improve neurologic outcome in the prehospital setting.

Background Despite the benefits of targeted temperature management (TTM) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest), implementation within the United States remains low. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with TTM use in a large, urban-suburban regional system of care. Methods and Results This was a retrospective analysis from the Los Angeles County regional cardiac system of care serving a population of >10 million residents. All adult patients aged ≥18 years with non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest transported to a cardiac arrest center from April 2011 to August 2017 were included. Patients awake and alert in the emergency department and patients who died in the emergency department before consideration for TTM were excluded. The primary outcome measure was prevalence of TTM use. The secondary analysis were annual trends in TTM use over the study period and factors associated with TTM use. The study population included 8072 patients; 4154 patients (51.5%) received TTM and 3767 patients (46.7%) did not receive TTM. Median age was 67 years, 4780 patients (59.2%) were men, 4645 patients (57.5%) were non-White, and the most common arrest location was personal residence in 4841 patients (60.0%). In the adjusted analysis, younger age, male sex, an initial shockable rhythm, witnessed arrest, and receiving coronary angiography were associated with receiving TTM. Conclusions Within this regional system of care, use of TTM was higher than previously reported in the literature at just over 50%. Use of integrated systems of care may be a novel method to increase TTM use within the United States.

Hypoxic-ischaemia renders the neonatal brain susceptible to early secondary injury from oxidative stress and impaired autoregulation. We aimed to describe cerebral oxygen kinetics and haemodynamics immediately following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and evaluate non-invasive parameters to facilitate bedside monitoring. Near-term sheep fetuses [139 ± 2 (SD) days gestation, n = 16] were instrumented to measure carotid artery (CA) flow, pressure, right brachial arterial and jugular venous saturation (SaO2 and SvO2, respectively). Cerebral oxygenation (crSO2) was measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Following induction of severe asphyxia, lambs received cardiopulmonary resuscitation using 100% oxygen until ROSC, with oxygen subsequently weaned according to saturation nomograms as per current guidelines. We found that oxygen consumption did not rise following ROSC, but oxygen delivery was markedly elevated until 15 min after ROSC. CrSO2 and heart rate each correlated with oxygen delivery. SaO2 remained > 90% and was less useful for identifying trends in oxygen delivery. CrSO2 correlated inversely with cerebral fractional oxygen extraction. In conclusion, ROSC from perinatal asphyxia is characterised by excess oxygen delivery that is driven by rapid increases in cerebrovascular pressure, flow, and oxygen saturation, and may be monitored non-invasively. Further work to describe and limit injury mediated by oxygen toxicity following ROSC is warranted.

Background The incidence and mortality of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high, but predicting outcomes is challenging. Being able to better assess prognosis of hospitalized patients after return of spontaneous circulation would enable improved management of survival expectations. In this study, we assessed the predictive value of ECG indexes in hospitalized patients with OHCA. Methods and Results PR interval and QT interval corrected by the Bazett formula (QTc) for all leads were calculated from standard 12-lead ECGs 24 hours after return of spontaneous circulation in 93 patients who were hospitalized following OHCA. PR interval and QT and QTc duration did not differentiate OHCA survivors and nonsurvivors. However, QT and QTc dispersion was significantly increased in patients who died during hospitalization compared with survivors discharged from the hospital (P<0.01). Logistic regression indicated a strong association between increased QT dispersion and in-hospital mortality (P<0.0001; area under the curve, 0.8918 for QT dispersion and 0.8673 for QTc dispersion). Multinomial logistic regression indicated that the increase of QTc dispersion correlated with worse Cerebral Performance Category scores at discharge (P<0.001; likelihood ratio, 51.42). There was also significant correlation between dispersion measures and serum potassium at the time of measurement and between dispersion measures and cumulative epinephrine administration. No difference existed regarding the number of measurable leads. Conclusions Lesser QT and QTc dispersion at 24 hours after return of spontaneous circulation was significantly associated with survival and neurologic status at discharge. Routine evaluation of QT and QTc dispersion during hospitalization following return of spontaneous circulation might improve outcome prognostication for patients hospitalized for OHCA.

BACKGROUND: In-hospital cardiac arrest is a major cause of death in European countries, and survival of patients remains low ranging from 20% to 25%. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to assess healthcare professionals' knowledge on cardiopulmonary resuscitation among university hospitals in 12 European countries and correlate it with the return of spontaneous circulation rates of their patients after in-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 570 healthcare professionals from cardiology, anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine departments of European university hospitals in Italy, Poland, Hungary, Belgium, Spain, Slovakia, Germany, Finland, The Netherlands, Switzerland, France and Greece completed a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions based on epidemiology data and cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and 26 multiple choice questions on cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge. Hospitals in Switzerland scored highest on basic life support (P=0.005) while Belgium hospitals scored highest on advanced life support (P<0.001) and total score in cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge (P=0.01). The Swiss hospitals scored highest in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training (P<0.001). Correlation between cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge and return of spontaneous circulation rates of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest demonstrated that each additional correct answer on the advanced life support score results in a further increase in return of spontaneous circulation rates (odds ratio 3.94; 95% confidence interval 2.78 to 5.57; P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Differences in knowledge about resuscitation and course attendance were found between university hospitals in 12 European countries. Education in cardiopulmonary resuscitation is considered to be vital for patients' return of spontaneous circulation rates after in-hospital cardiac arrest. A higher level of knowledge in advanced life support results in higher return of spontaneous circulation rates.

Neonatal animals are extremely tolerant of hypothermia. However, cooling will ultimately lead to ventilatory arrest, or cessation of respiratory movements. Upon rewarming, ventilation can recover spontaneously (autoresuscitation). This study examined the effect of age (P0-P5) and the pons on respiratory-related output during hypothermic ventilatory arrest and recovery using a brainstem-spinal cord preparation of neonatal rats. As temperature fell, burst frequency slowed, burst duration increased, burst shape became fragmented and eventually respiratory arrest occurred in all preparations. Removing the pons had little effect on younger preparations (P0-P2). Older preparations (P4-P5) with the pons removed continued to burst at cooler temperatures compared to pons-intact preparations and burst durations were significantly longer. Episodic breathing patterns were observed in all preparations (all ages, pons on or off) at lower temperatures. At 27⯰C, however, episodic breathing was only observed in younger preparations with the pons on. These data suggest that developmental changes occurring at the level of the pons underlie the loss of hypothermic tolerance and episodic breathing.

AIM: The European Resuscitation Council guidelines recommend a slow rate of rewarming of 0.25⯰C/h-0.5⯰C/h for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients receiving therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Conversely, a very slow rewarming of 1⯰C/day is generally applied in Japan. The rewarming duration ranged from less than 24â¯h up to more than 50â¯h. No randomized control trials have examined the optimal rewarming speed for TH in OHCA patients. Therefore, we examined the association between the rewarming duration and neurological outcomes in OHCA patients who received TH. METHODS: This study was a secondary analysis of the Japanese Population-based Utstein-style study with defibrillation and basic/advanced Life Support Education and implementation-Hypothermia (J-PULSE-HYPO) study registry, a multicenter prospective cohort study. Patients suffering from OHCA who received TH (target temperature, 34⯰C) after the return of spontaneous circulation from 2005 to 2011 in 14 hospitals throughout Japan were enrolled. The rewarming duration was defined as the time from the beginning of rewarming at a target temperature of 34⯰C until reaching 36⯰C. The primary outcome was an unfavorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, i.e., a cerebral performance category of 3-5. RESULTS: The J-PULSE-HYPO study enrolled 452 OHCA patients. Of these, 328 were analyzed; 79.9% survived to hospital discharge, of which 56.4% had a favorable neurological outcome. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that the rewarming duration was independently associated with unfavorable neurological outcomes [odds ratio (per 5â¯h), 0.89; 95% confidence interval, 0.79-0.99; pâ¯=⯠0.032]. CONCLUSION: A longer rewarming duration was significantly associated with and was an independent predictor of favorable neurological outcomes in OHCA patients who received TH.
