ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Therapeutic hypothermia improves neurologic outcome and survival in patients following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Endovascular cooling devices are commonly used to rapidly achieve and maintain hypothermia. The use of these devices may be associated with catheter related thrombosis. The objective of this study was to determine the risk of catheter related thrombosis associated with the use of an endovascular cooling catheter in patients referred for therapeutic hypothermia following OHCA. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
We conducted a retrospective cohort study on consecutive patients, referred for therapeutic hypothermia following OHCA, between February 2012 and May 2013. Of 80 patients initially treated with therapeutic hypothermia, 61 completed the cooling protocol using an endovascular cooling device. The primary outcome was catheter related thrombosis defined as evidence of thrombus in the inferior vena cava, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism during the index hospitalization. We further evaluated the incidence of the primary outcome between patients on dose adjusted intravenous unfractionated heparin compared to those on a subcutaneous prophylactic regimen alone. Catheter related thrombosis was observed in 9/61 (14.7%), with nine events in the prophylaxis group compared to none in the full dose unfractionated heparin group (22.0% vs. 0.0%, p=0.02).CONCLUSIONS:
The use of endovascular catheters for induction of therapeutic hypothermia is associated with a high rate of catheter related thrombosis. This risk appears to be abrogated with dose adjusted unfractionated heparin infusion.Palabras clave
