ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Early identification of the causes of cardiac arrest is helpful in determining the resuscitation measures during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during CPR in diagnosing aortic dissection and the influence of aortic dissection on resuscitation outcome in adult patients with prolonged non-traumatic cardiac arrest.METHODS:
Adult patients aged >20 years with non-traumatic cardiac arrest who underwent prolonged CPR (>10 min) and TEE examination during CPR were enrolled. The enrolled patients were grouped according to the presence of aortic dissection on TEE the aortic dissection (AD) group and the non-AD group. Variables related to cardiac arrest event, CPR, and resuscitation outcome were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:
Forty-five patients (median age, 71 years; 26 men) were enrolled. Ten (22.2%) and 35 (77.8%) patients were included in the AD and non-AD groups, respectively. No patients in the AD group survived. Aortic dissection on TEE was inversely related to the rate of return of spontaneous circulation on multivariate analysis (odds ratio, 0.019; 95% confidence interval, 0.001-0.750; p = .035).CONCLUSION:
TEE is a useful tool for diagnosing aortic dissection as a cause of cardiac arrest during CPR. Aortic dissection is associated with poor resuscitation outcomes.Palavras-chave
