Abstract
BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation (TI)-associated cardiac arrest (TI-CA) occurs in 1.7% of pediatric ICU TIs. Our objective was to evaluate resuscitation characteristics and outcomes between cardiac arrest patients with and without TI-CA. METHODS Secondary analysis of cardiac arrest patients in both ICU-RESUS trial and ancillary CPR-NOVA study. The primary exposure was TI-CA, defined as cardiac arrest occurred during TI procedure or within 20 min after endotracheal tube placement. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurological outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score 1-3 or unchanged). RESULTS Among 315 children with cardiac arrests, 48 (15.2%) met criteria for TI-CA. Pre-existing medical conditions were similar between groups. Pre-arrest non-invasive mechanical ventilation was more common among TI-CA patients (18/48, 37.5%) compared to non-TI-CA patients (35/267, 13.1%). In 48% (23/48), the TI-CA occurred within 20 min after intubation (i.e., not during intubation). Duration of CPR was longer in TI-CA patients (median 11.0 min, interquartile range [IQR]: 2.5, 35.5) than non-TI-CA patients (median 5.0 min, IQR 2.0, 21.0), p = 0.03. Return of spontaneous circulation occurred in 32/48 (66.7%) TI-CA versus 186/267 (69.7%) non-TI-CA, p = 0.73. Survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurological outcome occurred in 29/48 (60.4%) TI-CA versus 146/267 (54.7%) non-TI-CA, p = 0.53. CONCLUSIONS Fifteen percent of these pediatric ICU cardiac arrests were associated with TI. Half of TI-CA occurred after endotracheal tube placement. While duration of CPR was longer in TI-CA patients, there were no differences in unadjusted outcomes following TI-CA versus non-TI-CA. TRIAL REGISTRATION The ICU-RESUS (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02837497).

Early versus late advanced airway management for adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A time-dependent propensity score-matched analysis. Acad Emerg Med 2024; 31:755-766. [PMID: 38584593 DOI: 10.1111/acem.14907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate whether early advanced airway management during the entire resuscitation period is associated with favorable neurological outcomes and survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with OHCA aged ≥18 years enrolled in OHCA registry in Japan who received advanced airway management during cardiac arrest between June 2014 and December 2020. To address resuscitation time bias, we performed risk set matching analyses in which patients who did and did not receive advanced airway management were matched at the same time point (min) using the time-dependent propensity score; further, we compared early (≤10 min) and late (>10 min) advanced airway management. The primary and secondary outcome measures were favorable neurological outcomes using Cerebral Performance Category scores and survival at 1 month after cardiac arrest. RESULTS Of the 41,101 eligible patients, 21,446 patients received early advanced airway management. Thus, risk set matching was performed with a total of 42,866 patients. In the main analysis, early advanced airway management was significantly associated with favorable neurological outcomes (risk ratio [RR] 0.997, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.995-0.999) and survival (RR 0.990, 95% CI 0.986-0.994) at 1 month after cardiac arrest. In the sensitivity analysis with early advanced airway management defined as ≤5 min and ≤20 min, the results were comparable. CONCLUSIONS Although early advanced airway management was statistically significant for improved neurological outcomes and survival at 1 month after cardiac arrest, the RR was very close to 1, indicating that the timing of advanced airway management has minimal impact on clinical outcomes, and decisions should be made based on the individual needs of the patient.

A Randomization Simulation Study. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:865. [PMID: 39062314 PMCID: PMC11276386 DOI: 10.3390/children11070865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) improves infant survival outcomes after cardiac arrest. If not feasible at the place of arrest, victims must be transported to a suitable room to perform ECMO while effective, sustained resuscitation maneuvers are performed. The objective of this simulation study was to compare the quality of resuscitation maneuvers on an infant manikin during simulated transfer on a stretcher (stretcher test) within a hospital versus standard stationary resuscitation maneuvers (control test). METHODS A total of 26 nursing students participated in a randomized crossover study. In pairs, the rescuers performed two 2 min tests, consisting of five rescue breaths followed by cycles of 15 compressions and two breaths. The analysis focused on CPR variables (chest compression and ventilation), CPR quality, the rate of perceived exertion and the distance covered. RESULTS No differences were observed in the chest compression quality variable (82 ± 10% versus 84 ± 11%, p = 0.15). However, significantly worse values were observed in the test for ventilation quality on the stretcher (18 ± 14%) compared to the control test (28 ± 21%), with a value of p = 0.030. Therefore, the overall CPR quality was worse in the stretcher test (50 ± 9%) than in the control test (56 ± 13%) (p = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS Infant CPR performed by nursing students while walking alongside a moving stretcher is possible. However, in this model, the global CPR quality is less due to the low ventilation quality.

Association Between Chest Compression Pause Duration and Survival After Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Circulation 2024; 149:1493-1500. [PMID: 38563137 PMCID: PMC11073898 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.123.066882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between chest compression (CC) pause duration and pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest survival outcomes is unknown. The American Heart Association has recommended minimizing pauses in CC in children to <10 seconds, without supportive evidence. We hypothesized that longer maximum CC pause durations are associated with worse survival and neurological outcomes. METHODS In this cohort study of index pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrests reported in pediRES-Q (Quality of Pediatric Resuscitation in a Multicenter Collaborative) from July of 2015 through December of 2021, we analyzed the association in 5-second increments of the longest CC pause duration for each event with survival and favorable neurological outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category ≤3 or no change from baseline). Secondary exposures included having any pause >10 seconds or >20 seconds and number of pauses >10 seconds and >20 seconds per 2 minutes. RESULTS We identified 562 index in-hospital cardiac arrests (median [Q1, Q3] age 2.9 years [0.6, 10.0], 43% female, 13% shockable rhythm). Median length of the longest CC pause for each event was 29.8 seconds (11.5, 63.1). After adjustment for confounders, each 5-second increment in the longest CC pause duration was associated with a 3% lower relative risk of survival with favorable neurological outcome (adjusted risk ratio, 0.97 [95% CI, 0.95-0.99]; P=0.02). Longest CC pause duration was also associated with survival to hospital discharge (adjusted risk ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.96-0.99]; P=0.01) and return of spontaneous circulation (adjusted risk ratio, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.91-0.94]; P<0.001). Secondary outcomes of any pause >10 seconds or >20 seconds and number of CC pauses >10 seconds and >20 seconds were each significantly associated with adjusted risk ratio of return of spontaneous circulation, but not survival or neurological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Each 5-second increment in longest CC pause duration during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest was associated with lower chance of survival with favorable neurological outcome, survival to hospital discharge, and return of spontaneous circulation. Any CC pause >10 seconds or >20 seconds and number of pauses >10 seconds and >20 seconds were significantly associated with lower adjusted probability of return of spontaneous circulation, but not survival or neurological outcomes.

JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2411641. [PMID: 38767920 PMCID: PMC11107299 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.11641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance For pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), emergency medical services (EMS) may elect to transport to the hospital during active cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (ie, intra-arrest transport) or to continue on-scene CPR for the entirety of the resuscitative effort. The comparative effectiveness of these strategies is unclear. Objective To evaluate the association between intra-arrest transport compared with continued on-scene CPR and survival after pediatric OHCA, and to determine whether this association differs based on the timing of intra-arrest transport. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study included pediatric patients aged younger than 18 years with EMS-treated OHCA between December 1, 2005 and June 30, 2015. Data were collected from the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Epidemiologic Registry, a prospective 10-site OHCA registry in the US and Canada. Data analysis was performed from May 2022 to February 2024. Exposures Intra-arrest transport, defined as an initiation of transport prior to the return of spontaneous circulation, and the interval between EMS arrival and intra-arrest transport. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Patients who underwent intra-arrest transport at any given minute after EMS arrival were compared with patients who were at risk of undergoing intra-arrest transport within the same minute using time-dependent propensity scores calculated from patient demographics, arrest characteristics, and EMS interventions. We examined subgroups based on age (<1 year vs ≥1 year). Results Of 2854 eligible pediatric patients (median [IQR] age, 1 [0-9] years); 1691 males [59.3%]) who experienced OHCA between December 2005 and June 2015, 1892 children (66.3%) were treated with intra-arrest transport and 962 children (33.7%) received continued on-scene CPR. The median (IQR) time between EMS arrival and intra-arrest transport was 15 (9-22) minutes. In the propensity score-matched cohort (3680 matched cases), there was no significant difference in survival to hospital discharge between the intra-arrest transport group and the continued on-scene CPR group (87 of 1840 patients [4.7%] vs 95 of 1840 patients [5.2%]; risk ratio [RR], 0.81 [95% CI, 0.59-1.10]). Survival to hospital discharge was not modified by the timing of intra-arrest transport (P value for the interaction between intra-arrest transport and time to matching = .10). Among patients aged younger than 1 year, intra-arrest transport was associated with lower survival to hospital discharge (RR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.33-0.83) but there was no association for children aged 1 year or older (RR, 1.22; 95% CI, 0.77-1.93). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of a North American OHCA registry, intra-arrest transport compared with continued on-scene CPR was not associated with survival to hospital discharge among children with OHCA. However, intra-arrest transport was associated with a lower likelihood of survival to hospital discharge among children aged younger than 1 year.

Ann Emerg Med 2024; 83:185-195. [PMID: 37999654 DOI: 10.1016/j.annemergmed.2023.09.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the association between early versus late advanced airway management and improved outcomes in pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study using data from the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry in Japan. We included pediatric patients (<18 years) with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who had received advanced airway management (tracheal intubation, supraglottic airway, and esophageal obturator). The main exposure was early (≤20 minutes) versus late (>20 minutes) advanced airway management. The primary and secondary outcome measurements were survival and favorable neurologic outcomes at 1 month, respectively. To address resuscitation time bias, we performed risk-set matching analyses using time-dependent propensity scores. RESULTS Out of the 864 pediatric patients with both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and advanced airway management over 67 months (2014 to 2019), we included 667 patients with adequate data (77%). Of these 667 patients, advanced airway management was early for 354 (53%) and late for 313 (47%) patients. In the risk-set matching analysis, the risk of both survival (risk ratio 0.98 for early versus late [95% confidence interval 0.95 to 1.02]) and favorable 1-month neurologic outcomes (risk ratio 0.99 [95% confidence interval 0.97 to 1.00]) was similar between early and late advanced airway management groups. In sensitivity analyses, with time to early advanced airway management defined as ≤10 minutes and ≤30 minutes, both outcomes were again similar. CONCLUSION In pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the timing of advanced airway management may not affect patient outcomes, but randomized controlled trials are needed to address this question further.

Abstract
Background Post-authorization safety studies (PASSs) of vaccines are important. PASSs enable the evaluation of association between vaccination and adverse events following immunization through common study designs. Clinical trials during vaccine development typically include a few thousand to 10,000 participants while a PASS might aim to detect a few adverse events per 100,000 vaccine recipients. While all available data may be utilized, prior consideration of power analyses are nonetheless crucial for interpretation in cases where statistically significant differences are not found. Methods This research primarily examined cohort study design and self-controlled case series (SCCS) design, estimating the power of a PASS under plausible conditions. Results Both the cohort study and SCCS designs necessitated large sample sizes or high event counts to guarantee adequate power. The SCCS design is particularly suited to evaluating rare adverse events. However, extremely rare events may not yield sufficient occurrences, thereby resulting in low power. Although the SCCS design can more efficiently control for time-invariant confounding in principle, it solely estimates relative measures. A cohort study design might be preferred if confounding can be adequately managed as it also estimates absolute measures. It may be an easy decision to use all the data at hand for either design. We found it necessary to estimate the sample size and number of events to be used in the study based on a priori information and anticipated results.

Impact of Early Tracheostomy on Clinical Outcomes in Trauma Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Causal Analysis. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2023; 37:2584-2591. [PMID: 36631378 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2022.12.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the indications, timing, and clinical outcomes that result from the early tracheostomy (ET) administration, by causal inference models. DESIGN A retrospective observational study. SETTING Multiinstitutional intensive care unit in the United States PARTICIPANTS: The study comprised 626 trauma patients. INTERVENTIONS An ET versus late tracheostomy (LT). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Trauma patients with tracheostomy were identified from 2 public databases named Medical Information Mart for the Intensive Care-IV and eICU Collaborative Research Database. Tracheostomy was defined as early (≤7 days) or late (>7 days) from intensive care unit admission. A marginal structural Cox model (MSCM) with inverse probability weighting was employed. For comparison, the authors also used time-dependent propensity-score matching (PSM) to account for differences in the probability of receiving an ET or LT. A total of 626 eligible patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 321 (51%) received a ET. The MSCM and time-dependent PSM indicated that the ET group was associated with reduced ventilation-associated pneumonia (VAP) and a shorter mechanical ventilation (MV) duration than the LT group. Yet, mortality did not show any difference between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The authors' study observed that ET was not associated with reduced mortality in trauma patients, but it was associated with reduced VAP risk and MV duration. The results warrant further validation in randomized controlled trials.

Association between the presence of an advanced airway and ventilation rate during pediatric CPR: A report from the Videography in Pediatric Resuscitation (VIPER) collaborative. Resuscitation 2023; 191:109923. [PMID: 37597650 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2023.109923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between presence of an advanced airway during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and ventilation rates. METHODS Prospective observational study, January 2017 to June 2020. Patients ≤18 years receiving CC for ≥2 minutes were enrolled. Ventilation rate and type of airway (advanced airway (AA), either endotracheal tube (ETT) or supraglottic airway (SGA); or natural airway (NA)) were collected from video review and analyzed in 'CPR segments' (periods of CPR by individual providers). Ventilation rate (breaths per minute, bpm) was calculated for each segment; hyperventilation was defined as >12 bpm according to 2015 American Heart Association guidelines. Univariate analysis between airway type was done by χ2 testing. Multivariate regression was used to determine the association between the presence of AA with hyperventilation while controlling for within-patient covariance. RESULTS 779 CPR segments from 94 CPR event were analyzed. The mean ventilation rate per CPR segment across all events was 22 bpm (±16 bpm)). Mean ventilation rates were higher with AA, either ETT (24 ± 17 bpm) or SGA (34 ± 19 bpm), than with NA (17 ± 14, p < 0.001). Hyperventilation occurred more often with AA in place (ETT: 68%; SGA: 96%; NA: 43%; p < 0.001). The presence of AA was independently associated with hyperventilation (AOR 9.3, 95% CI 4.3-20.1). CONCLUSIONS During pediatric CPR, hyperventilation occurs more often with an AA in place than during CPR with NA. Future research should focus on respiratory physiology during pediatric CPR to determine optimal ventilation rate(s) during pediatric cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Pediatric cardiac arrest in the emergency department is rare. We emphasize the importance of preparedness for pediatric cardiac arrest and offer strategies for the optimal recognition and care of patients in cardiac arrest and peri-arrest. This article focuses on both prevention of arrest and the key elements of pediatric resuscitation that have been shown to improve outcomes for children in cardiac arrest. Finally, we review changes to the American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care that were published in 2020.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate associations between calcium administration and outcomes among children with in-hospital cardiac arrest and among specific subgroups in which calcium use is hypothesized to provide clinical benefit. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of observational data collected prospectively as part of the ICU-RESUScitation project. Children 37 weeks post-conceptual age to 18 years who received chest compressions in one of 18 intensive care units from October 2016-March 2021 were eligible. Data included child and event characteristics, pre-arrest laboratory values, pre- and intra-arrest haemodynamics, and outcomes. Outcomes included sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to hospital discharge, and survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic outcome. A propensity score weighted cohort was used to evaluate associations between calcium use and outcomes. Subgroups included neonates, and children with hyperkalaemia, sepsis, renal insufficiency, cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, and calcium-avid cardiac diagnoses. RESULTS Of 1,100 in-hospital cardiac arrests, median age was 0.63 years (IQR 0.19, 3.81); 450 (41%) received calcium. Among the weighted cohort, calcium use was not associated with sustained ROSC (aOR, 0.87; CI95 0.61-1.24; p = 0.445), but was associated with lower rates of both survival to hospital discharge (aOR, 0.68; CI95 0.52-0.89; p = 0.005) and survival with favourable neurologic outcome at hospital discharge (aOR, 0.75; CI95 0.57-0.98; p = 0.038). Among subgroups, calcium use was associated with lower rates of survival to hospital discharge in children with sepsis and renal insufficiency. CONCLUSIONS Calcium use was common during paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest and associated with worse outcomes at hospital discharge.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: time-dependent propensity score-sequential matching analysis from a nationwide population-based registry. Crit Care 2023; 27:87. [PMID: 36879338 PMCID: PMC9990293 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04384-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is inconclusive evidence regarding the effectiveness of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. We aimed to evaluate the association between ECPR and neurologic recovery in OHCA patients using time-dependent propensity score matching analysis. METHODS Using a nationwide OHCA registry, adult medical OHCA patients who underwent CPR at the emergency department between 2013 and 2020 were included. The primary outcome was a good neurological recovery at discharge. Time-dependent propensity score matching was used to match patients who received ECPR to those at risk for ECPR within the same time interval. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated, and stratified analysis by the timing of ECPR was also performed. RESULTS Among 118,391 eligible patients, 484 received ECPR. After 1:4 time-dependent propensity score matching, 458 patients in the ECPR group and 1832 patients in the no ECPR group were included in the matched cohort. In the matched cohort, ECPR was not associated with good neurological recovery (10.3% in ECPR and 6.9% in no ECPR; RR [95% CI] 1.28 [0.85-1.93]). In the stratified analyses according to the timing of matching, ECPR with a pump-on within 45 min after emergency department arrival was associated with favourable neurological outcomes (RR [95% CI] 2.51 [1.33-4.75] in 1-30 min, 1.81 [1.11-2.93] in 31-45 min, 1.07 (0.56-2.04) in 46-60 min, and 0.45 (0.11-1.91) in over 60 min). CONCLUSIONS ECPR itself was not associated with good neurological recovery, but early ECPR was positively associated with good neurological recovery. Research on how to perform ECPR at an early stage and clinical trials to evaluate the effect of ECPR is warranted.

Abstract
Importance While epinephrine has been widely used in prehospital resuscitation for pediatric patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), the benefit and optimal timing of epinephrine administration have not been fully investigated. Objectives To evaluate the association between epinephrine administration and patient outcomes and to ascertain whether the timing of epinephrine administration was associated with patient outcomes after pediatric OHCA. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study included pediatric patients (<18 years) with OHCA treated by emergency medical services (EMS) from April 2011 to June 2015. Eligible patients were identified from the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Epidemiologic Registry, a prospective OHCA registry at 10 sites in the US and Canada. Data analysis was performed from May 2021 to January 2023. Exposures The main exposures were prehospital intravenous or intraosseous epinephrine administration and the interval between arrival of an advanced life support (ALS)-capable EMS clinician (ALS arrival) and the first administration of epinephrine. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Patients who received epinephrine at any given minute after ALS arrival were matched with patients who were at risk of receiving epinephrine within the same minute using time-dependent propensity scores calculated from patient demographics, arrest characteristics, and EMS interventions. Results Of 1032 eligible individuals (median [IQR] age, 1 [0-10] years), 625 (60.6%) were male. 765 patients (74.1%) received epinephrine and 267 (25.9%) did not. The median (IQR) time interval between ALS arrival and epinephrine administration was 9 (6.2-12.1) minutes. In the propensity score-matched cohort (1432 patients), survival to hospital discharge was higher in the epinephrine group compared with the at-risk group (epinephrine: 45 of 716 [6.3%] vs at-risk: 29 of 716 [4.1%]; risk ratio, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.29-3.40). The timing of epinephrine administration was also not associated with survival to hospital discharge after ALS arrival (P for the interaction between epinephrine administration and time to matching = .34). Conclusions and Relevance In this study of pediatric patients with OHCA in the US and Canada, epinephrine administration was associated with survival to hospital discharge, while timing of the administration was not associated with survival.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Airway management is a fundamental component of care during resuscitation of critically ill and injured children. In addition to predicted anatomic and physiologic differences in children compared with adults, certain conditions can predict potential difficulty during pediatric airway management. This review presents approaches to identifying pediatric patients in whom airway management is more likely to be difficult, and discusses strategies to address such challenges. These strategies include optimization of effective bag-mask ventilation, alternative approaches to laryngoscopy, use of adjunct airway devices, modifications to rapid sequence intubation, and performance of surgical airways in children. The importance of considering systems of care in preparing for potentially difficult pediatric airways is also discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate associations between sodium bicarbonate use and outcomes during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (p-IHCA). DESIGN Prespecified secondary analysis of a prospective, multicenter cluster randomized interventional trial. SETTING Eighteen participating ICUs of the ICU-RESUScitation Project (NCT02837497). PATIENTS Children less than or equal to 18 years old and greater than or equal to 37 weeks post conceptual age who received chest compressions of any duration from October 2016 to March 2021. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Child and event characteristics, prearrest laboratory values (2-6 hr prior to p-IHCA), pre- and intraarrest hemodynamics, and outcomes were collected. In a propensity score weighted cohort, the relationships between sodium bicarbonate use and outcomes were assessed. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Of 1,100 index cardiopulmonary resuscitation events, median age was 0.63 years (interquartile range, 0.19-3.81 yr); 528 (48.0%) received sodium bicarbonate; 773 (70.3%) achieved ROSC; 642 (58.4%) survived to hospital discharge; and 596 (54.2%) survived to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Among the weighted cohort, sodium bicarbonate use was associated with lower survival to hospital discharge rate (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.7; 95% CI, 0.54-0.92; p = 0.01) and lower survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome rate (aOR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.53-0.91; p = 0.007). Sodium bicarbonate use was not associated with ROSC (aOR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.62-1.34; p = 0.621). CONCLUSIONS In this propensity weighted multicenter cohort study of p-IHCA, sodium bicarbonate use was common and associated with lower rates of survival to hospital discharge.

Metabolomics insights into the prenatal exposure effects of polybrominated diphenyl ethers on neonatal birth outcomes. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 836:155601. [PMID: 35504395 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.155601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 04/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Effects of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on neonatal birth outcomes vary across previous studies, and the related mechanism investigation remains poorly understood, especially at the metabolic level. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the associations between prenatal PBDEs exposure and neonatal birth outcomes including gestational age, neonatal weight, birth length, head circumference (HC), Apgar score at 1 min (Apgar1) and 5 min, and further reveal the underlying metabolic disorders in a population-based birth cohort study. METHODS Gas chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) based targeted method and GC-MS based untargeted method were respectively conducted to obtain PBDE levels and metabolic profiles of 200 placental tissue samples from a typical e-waste recycling area (Guiyu) and reference area (Haojiang) in China. Spearman correlation and regression analyses were applied to assess the associations between the placental PBDE levels and birth outcomes. Metabolome-wide association studies and the meet-in-the-middle approach were employed to explore disruptions linking PBDE exposures and the corresponding adverse birth outcomes. RESULTS Eight out of 27 PBDE congeners were detected in placenta with more than 50% frequency in at least one district and significantly higher in Guiyu than those in Haojiang. The lower HC and Apgar1 had significant associations with PBDE exposures after adjustment for potential confounders. A total of 66, 16 and 14 metabolites were significantly correlated with PBDE exposures, HC and Apgar1, respectively. 4 and 12 PBDE-related metabolites were significantly associated with the risks of decreasing neonatal HC and Apgar1. The disrupted metabolites were mainly involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, ascorbate metabolism, threonine metabolism, butanoate metabolism, lipid metabolism, and arginine biosynthesis. CONCLUSIONS In this birth cohort, higher placental PBDE levels were significantly associated with the lower HC and Apgar1. The associations might be modified by multiple metabolic disturbances through increasing oxidative stress, mediating neurotoxicity, maternal gut microbiota dysbiosis and vasodilatation regulation.

Abstract
A firm concept of time is essential for establishing causality in a clinical setting. Review of critical incidents and generation of study hypotheses require a robust understanding of the sequence of events but conducting such work can be problematic when timestamps are recorded by independent and unsynchronized clocks. Most clinical models implicitly assume that timestamps have been measured accurately and precisely, but this custom will need to be re-evaluated if our algorithms and models are to make meaningful use of higher frequency physiological data sources. In this narrative review we explore factors that can result in timestamps being erroneously recorded in a clinical setting, with particular focus on systems that may be present in a critical care unit. We discuss how clocks, medical devices, data storage systems, algorithmic effects, human factors, and other external systems may affect the accuracy and precision of recorded timestamps. The concept of temporal uncertainty is introduced, and a holistic approach to timing accuracy, precision, and uncertainty is proposed. This quantitative approach to modeling temporal uncertainty provides a basis to achieve enhanced model generalizability and improved analytical outcomes.

Pediatr Emerg Care 2022; 38:e1271-e1276.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Airway compromise and respiratory failure are leading causes of pediatric cardiac arrest making advanced airway management central to pediatric resuscitation. Previous literature has demonstrated that achieving first-pass success (FPS) is associated with fewer adverse events. In cardiac arrest for adult patients, increasing number of intubation attempts is associated with lower likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and favorable neurologic outcome. There is limited evidence regarding advanced airway management for pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the emergency department (ED). The purpose of this study was to compare FPS in pediatric OHCA and non-cardiac arrest patients in the ED. METHODS This is an analysis of pediatric intubations prospectively recorded into a continuous quality improvement database in an academic pediatric ED over a 12-year period. Between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2019, physicians recorded all intubations performed in the pediatric ED. The database included patient demographics and detailed information about each intubation such as age of the patient, reason for intubation, number of intubation attempts, and outcome of each attempt. All patients younger than 18 years who underwent intubation in the ED were eligible for inclusion in the study. The primary outcome was FPS for pediatric patients in cardiac arrest compared with those not in cardiac arrest. A logistic regressions analysis was performed to identify characteristics associated with FPS in OHCA patients. RESULTS Six hundred eight pediatric patients were intubated during the study period. One hundred three pediatric patients had OHCA compared with 459 non-cardiac arrest patients who underwent rapid sequence intubation. In patients with OHCA, 47.6% had FPS (95% confidence interval [CI], 38.2%-57.1%), 33% required 2 attempts (95% CI, 24.7%-42.6%), and 19.4% required 3 or more attempts (95% CI, 12.9%-28.2%). In patients without OHCA, 75.4% had FPS (95% CI, 75.4%-79.1%), 15% required 2 attempts (95% CI, 12.0%-18.6%), and 9.6% required 3 or more attempts (95% CI, 7.2%-12.6%). Cardiac arrest was associated with a reduction in FPS adjusted odds ratio 0.44 (95% CI, 0.26-0.77). CONCLUSIONS In this study, we found that pediatric OHCA is associated with reduced FPS in the ED. Although additional studies are needed, rescuers should prioritize restoring effective oxygenation and ventilation and optimizing intubation conditions before an advanced airway attempt.

Intra-Cardiac Arrest Transport and Survival from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Nationwide Observational Study. Resuscitation 2022; 175:50-56.

Abstract
AIM To assess whether intra-cardiac arrest transport as compared to continued on-scene resuscitation was associated with improved clinical outcomes among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in Denmark. METHODS This was an observational study using data from population-based registries in Denmark. Adults (aged ≥18 to ≤65 years) with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest attended by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) between 2016 and 2018 were included. The primary outcome was survival to 30 days. Time-dependent propensity score matching was used to match patients transported to the hospital within 20 minutes of EMS arrival to patients with assumed on-scene resuscitation (with or without subsequent intra-cardiac arrest transport) at risk of being transported within the same minute. RESULTS The full cohort included 2,873 cardiac arrests. The median age was 56 (quartiles: 48 to 62) years, 1987 (69%) were male, and 104 (4%) were transported within 20 minutes. A total of 87 transported patients were matched to 87 patients at risk of being transported based on the propensity score. Although not reaching statistical significance, in comparison with on-scene resuscitation, intra-cardiac arrest transport was associated with increased survival to 30 days (risk ratio, 1.55; 95%CI, 0.99 to 2.44; P = 0.06). Similar associations were observed for return of spontaneous circulation and survival to one year. CONCLUSIONS Among patients aged 18 to 65 years, intra-cardiac arrest transport was associated with a non-significant increase in survival within 20 minutes of EMS on-scene arrival. However, the results did not eliminate the potential for bias and the results should be interpreted carefully.

Metabolome-wide association study of serum exogenous chemical residues in a cohort with 5 major chronic diseases. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 158:106919. [PMID: 34634623 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2021.106919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic diseases have become main killers affecting the health of human, and environmental pollution is a major health risk factor that cannot be ignored. It has been reported that exogenous chemical residues including pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, veterinary drugs and persistent organic pollutants are associated with chronic diseases. However, the evidence for their relationship is equivocal and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. OBJECTIVES We aim to investigate the linkages between serum exogenous chemical residues and 5 main chronic diseases including obesity, hyperuricemia, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia, and further reveal the metabolic perturbations of chronic diseases related to exogenous chemical residue exposure, then gain potential mechanism insight at the metabolic level. METHODS LC-MS-based targeted and nontargeted methods were respectively performed to quantify exogenous chemical residues and acquire metabolic profiling of 496 serum samples from chronic disease patients. Non-parametric test, correlation and regression analyses were carried out to investigate the association between exogenous chemical residues and chronic diseases. Metabolome-wide association study combined with the meeting-in-the-middle strategy and mediation analysis was performed to reveal and explain exposure-related metabolic disturbances and their risk to chronic diseases. RESULTS In the association analysis of 106 serum exogenous chemical residues and 5 chronic diseases, positive associations of serum perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) with hyperuricemia were discovered while other associations were not significant. 240 exposure markers of PFASs and 84 disease markers of hyperuricemia were found, and 47 of them were overlapped and considered as putative effective markers. Serum uric acid, amino acids, cholesterol, carnitines, fatty acids, glycerides, glycerophospholipids, ceramides, and a part of sphingolipids were positively correlated with PFASs and associated with increased risk for hyperuricemia. Creatine, creatinine, glyceryl monooleate, phosphatidylcholine 36:6, phosphatidylethanolamine 40:6, cholesterol and sphingolipid 36:1;2O were significant markers which mediated the associations of the residues with hyperuricemia. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated a significantly positive association between PFASs exposure and hyperuricemia. The most significant metabolic abnormality was lipid metabolism which not only was positively associated with PFASs, but also increased the risk of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the use of epinephrine (adrenaline) before defibrillation for treatment of in-hospital cardiac arrest due to a ventricular arrhythmia and examine its association with patient survival. DESIGN Propensity matched analysis. SETTING 2000-18 data from 497 hospitals participating in the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry. PARTICIPANTS Adults aged 18 and older with an index in-hospital cardiac arrest due to an initial shockable rhythm treated with defibrillation. INTERVENTIONS Administration of epinephrine before first defibrillation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Survival to discharge; favorable neurological survival, defined as survival to discharge with none, mild, or moderate neurological disability measured using cerebral performance category scores; and survival after acute resuscitation (that is, return of spontaneous circulation for >20 minutes). A time dependent, propensity matched analysis was performed to adjust for confounding due to indication and evaluate the independent association of epinephrine before defibrillation with study outcomes. RESULTS Among 34 820 patients with an initial shockable rhythm, 7054 (20.3%) were treated with epinephrine before defibrillation, contrary to current guidelines. In comparison with participants treated with defibrillation first, participants receiving epinephrine first were less likely to have a history of myocardial infarction or heart failure, but more likely to have renal failure, sepsis, respiratory insufficiency, and receive mechanical ventilation before in-hospital cardiac arrest (standardized differences >10% for all). Treatment with epinephrine before defibrillation was strongly associated with delayed defibrillation (median 4 minutes v 0 minutes). In propensity matched analysis (6569 matched pairs), epinephrine before defibrillation was associated with lower odds of survival to discharge (22.4% v 29.7%; adjusted odds ratio 0.69; 95% confidence interval 0.64 to 0.74; P<0.001), favorable neurological survival (15.8% v 21.6%; 0.68; 0.61 to 0.76; P<0.001) and survival after acute resuscitation (61.7% v 69.5%; 0.73; 0.67 to 0.79; P<0.001). The above findings were consistent in a range of sensitivity analyses, including matching according to defibrillation time. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to current guidelines that prioritize immediate defibrillation for in-hospital cardiac arrest due to a shockable rhythm, one in five patients are treated with epinephrine before defibrillation. Use of epinephrine before defibrillation was associated with worse survival outcomes.

Association of Advanced Airway Insertion Timing and Outcomes After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Ann Emerg Med 2021; 79:118-131. [PMID: 34538500 DOI: 10.1016/j.annemergmed.2021.07.114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Revised: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE While often prioritized in the resuscitation of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the optimal timing of advanced airway insertion is unknown. We evaluated the association between the timing of advanced airway (laryngeal tube and endotracheal intubation) insertion attempt and survival to hospital discharge in adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of the Pragmatic Airway Resuscitation Trial (PART), a clinical trial comparing the effects of laryngeal tube and endotracheal intubation on outcomes after adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We stratified the cohort by randomized airway strategy (laryngeal tube or endotracheal intubation). Within each subset, we defined a time-dependent propensity score using patients, arrest, and emergency medical services systems characteristics. Using the propensity score, we matched each patient receiving an initial attempt of laryngeal tube or endotracheal intubation with a patient at risk of receiving laryngeal tube or endotracheal intubation attempt within the same minute. RESULTS Of 2,146 eligible patients, 1,091 (50.8%) and 1,055 (49.2%) were assigned to initial laryngeal tube and endotracheal intubation strategies, respectively. In the propensity score-matched cohort, timing of laryngeal tube insertion attempt was not associated with survival to hospital discharge: 0 to lesser than 5 minutes (risk ratio [RR]=1.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.53 to 3.44); 5 to lesser than10 minutes (RR=1.07, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.73); 10 to lesser than 15 minutes (RR=1.17, 95% CI 0.60 to 2.31); or 15 to lesser than 20 minutes (RR=2.09, 95% CI 0.35 to 12.47) after advanced life support arrival. Timing of endotracheal intubation attempt was also not associated with survival: 0 to lesser than 5 minutes (RR=0.50, 95% CI 0.05 to 4.87); 5 to lesser than10 minutes (RR=1.20, 95% CI 0.51 to 2.81); 10 to lesser than15 minutes (RR=1.03, 95% CI 0.49 to 2.14); 15 to lesser than 20 minutes (RR=0.85, 95% CI 0.30 to 2.42); or more than/equal to 20 minutes (RR=0.71, 95% CI 0.07 to 7.14). CONCLUSION In the PART, timing of advanced airway insertion attempt was not associated with survival to hospital discharge.

Abstract
Background The timing of advanced airway management (AAM) on patient outcomes after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest has not been fully investigated. We evaluated the association between the timing of prehospital AAM and 1‐month survival. Methods and Results We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective, nationwide, population‐based out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest registry in Japan. We included emergency medical services–treated adult (≥18 years) out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrests from 2014 through 2017, stratified into initial shockable or nonshockable rhythms. Patients who received AAM at any minute after emergency medical services–initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation underwent risk‐set matching with patients who were at risk of receiving AAM within the same minute using time‐dependent propensity scores. Eleven thousand three hundred six patients with AAM in shockable and 163 796 with AAM in nonshockable cohorts, respectively, underwent risk‐set matching. For shockable rhythms, the risk ratios (95% CIs) of AAM on 1‐month survival were 1.01 (0.89–1.15) between 0 and 5 minutes, 1.06 (0.98–1.15) between 5 and 10 minutes, 0.99 (0.87–1.12) between 10 and 15 minutes, 0.74 (0.59–0.92) between 15 and 20 minutes, 0.61 (0.37–1.00) between 20 and 25 minutes, and 0.73 (0.26–2.07) between 25 and 30 minutes after emergency medical services–initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation. For nonshockable rhythms, the risk ratios of AAM were 1.12 (1.00–1.27) between 0 and 5 minutes, 1.34 (1.25–1.44) between 5 and 10 minutes, 1.39 (1.26–1.54) between 10 and 15 minutes, 1.20 (0.99–1.45) between 15 and 20 minutes, 1.18 (0.80–1.73) between 20 and 25 minutes, 0.63 (0.29–1.38) between 25 and 30 minutes, and 0.44 (0.11–1.69) after 30 minutes. Conclusions In this observational study, the timing of AAM was not statistically associated with improved 1‐month survival for shockable rhythms, but AAM within 15 minutes after emergency medical services–initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation was associated with improved 1‐month survival for nonshockable rhythms.

Abstract
Although perioperative cardiac arrest during anesthetic care in infants and children is a rare event, its consequences can be devastating. Risk factors associated with perioperative cardiac arrest include cardiac surgery, younger age, presence of comorbid conditions and emergency surgery. Although medication-related etiologies formerly predominated, the elimination of halothane from anesthetic care has resulted in a shift in etiology to hemodynamic events related to blood loss or hyperkalemia associated with the rapid administration of blood products. Rarely, cardiac arrest can be sudden and unexpected without an obvious pre-existing etiology in an otherwise apparently healthy patient. We present a 16-month-old child who experienced a sudden cardiac arrest following anesthetic induction for a routine urologic procedure. The potential etiology of cardiac arrest during anesthesia is reviewed, keys to resuscitation discussed, and an outline for the investigative work-up presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in children is associated with a low survival rate. Conclusions in the literature are conflicting regarding the best way to handle ventilation. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of two airway management strategies, endotracheal intubation (ETI) vs. supraglottic procedure, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on 30-day survival in paediatric OHCA. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational, multicentre, registry-based study conducted from July 2011 to March 2018. All paediatric OHCA patients under 18 years of age and managed by a mobile intensive care unit were included. The primary endpoint was 30-day survival in a weighted population (based on propensity scores). RESULTS Of 1579 children, 1355 (85.8%) received ETI and 224 (14.2%) received supraglottic ventilation during CPR. We observe a lower 30-day survival in the ETI group compared to the supraglottic group (7.7% vs. 14.3%, absolute difference, 6.6 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.3-12.0; propensity-adjusted odds ratio [paOR], 0.39; 95% CI, 0.25-0.62; p < 0.001), and also a poorer neurological outcome (paOR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.19-0.54; p < 0.001). However, we did not identify any significant association between airway management strategy and return of spontaneous circulation (paOR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.80-1.65; p = 0.46). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this large cohort study suggest that ETI in paediatric OHCA, although performed by trained physicians, is associated with a worse outcome, regardless of traumatic or non-traumatic aetiology.

Abstract
To compare the effect on the recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) of early endotracheal intubation (ETI) versus bag-mask ventilation (BMV), and expiratory real-time tidal volume (VTe) feedback (TVF) ventilation versus without feedback or standard ventilation (SV) in a pediatric animal model of asphyxial cardiac arrest. Piglets were randomized into five groups: 1: ETI and TVF ventilation (10 ml/kg); 2: ETI and TVF (7 ml/kg); 3: ETI and SV; 4: BMV and TVF (10 ml/kg) and 5: BMV and SV. Thirty breaths-per-minute guided by metronome were given. ROSC, pCO2, pO2, EtCO2 and VTe were compared among groups. Seventy-nine piglets (11.3 ± 1.2 kg) were included. Twenty-six (32.9%) achieved ROSC. Survival was non-significantly higher in ETI (40.4%) than BMV groups (21.9%), p = 0.08. No differences in ROSC were found between TVF and SV groups (30.0% versus 34.7%, p = 0.67). ETI groups presented lower pCO2, and higher pO2, EtCO2 and VTe than BMV groups (p < 0.05). VTe was lower in TVF than in SV groups and in BMV than in ETI groups (p < 0.05). Groups 1 and 3 showed higher pO2 and lower pCO2 over time, although with hyperventilation values (pCO2 < 35 mmHg). ETI groups had non significantly higher survival rate than BMV groups. Compared to BMV groups, ETI groups achieved better oxygenation and ventilation parameters. VTe was lower in both TVF and BMV groups. Hyperventilation was observed in intubated animals with SV and with 10 ml/kg VTF.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Administration of epinephrine has been found to be associated with an increased chance of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but the optimal timing of administration has not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether there is an association between timing of epinephrine administration and patient outcomes after OHCA. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study included adults 18 years or older with OHCA treated by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel from April 1, 2011, to June 30, 2015. Initial cardiac rhythm was stratified as either initially shockable (ventricular defibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia) or nonshockable (pulseless electrical activity or asystole). Eligible individuals were identified from among publicly available, deidentified patient-level data from the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Cardiac Epidemiologic Registry, a prospective registry of adults with EMS-treated, nontraumatic OHCA with 10 sites in North America. Data analysis was conducted from May 2019 to April 2021. EXPOSURES Interval between advanced life support (ALS)-trained EMS personnel arrival at the scene and the first prehospital intravenous or intraosseous administration of epinephrine. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. In each cohort of initial cardiac rhythms, patients who received epinephrine at any period (minutes) after EMS arrival at the scene were matched with patients who were at risk of receiving epinephrine within the same period using time-dependent propensity scores calculated from patient demographic characteristics, arrest characteristics, and EMS interventions. RESULTS Of 41 079 eligible individuals (median [interquartile range] age, 67 [55-79] years), 26 579 (64.7%) were men. A total of 10 088 individuals (24.6%) initially had shockable cardiac rhythms, and 30 991 (75.4%) had nonshockable rhythms. Those who received epinephrine included 8223 patients (81.5%) with shockable cardiac rhythms and 27 901 (90.0%) with nonshockable rhythms. In the shockable cardiac rhythm cohort, the risk ratio (RR) for receipt of epinephrine with survival to hospital discharge was highest between 0 and 5 minutes after EMS arrival (1.12; 95% CI, 0.99-1.26) across the categorized timing of the administration of epinephrine by 5-minute intervals after EMS arrival; however, that finding was not statistically significant. Treating the timing of epinephrine administration as a continuous variable, the RR for survival to hospital discharge decreased 5.5% (95% CI, 3.4%-7.5%; P < .001 for the interaction between epinephrine administration and time to matching) per minute after EMS arrival. In the nonshockable cardiac rhythm cohort, the RR for the association of receipt of epinephrine with survival to hospital discharge was the highest between 0 and 5 minutes (1.28; 95% CI, 0.95-1.72), although not statistically significant, and decreased 4.4% (95% CI, 0.8%-7.9%; P for interaction = .02) per minute after EMS arrival. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among adults with OHCA, survival to hospital discharge differed across the timing of epinephrine administration and decreased with delayed administration for both shockable and nonshockable rhythms.

Epidemiology and outcomes of infants after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the neonatal or pediatric intensive care unit from a national registry. Resuscitation 2021; 165:14-22. [PMID: 34107334 PMCID: PMC8324549 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.05.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
AIM Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in hospitalized infants is a relatively uncommon but high-risk event associated with mortality. The study objective was to identify factors associated with mortality and survival among infants who receive CPR in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). METHODS Retrospective observational study of infants with an index CPR event in the NICU or PICU between 1/1/06 and 12/31/18 in the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry. Associations between patient, event, unit, and hospital factors and the primary outcome, mortality prior to discharge, were examined using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Among 3521 infants who received CPR, 2080 (59%) died before discharge, with 25% mortality during CPR and 40% within 24 h. Mortality prior to discharge occurred in 65% and 47% of cases in the NICU and PICU, respectively. Factors most strongly independently associated with pre-discharge mortality were vasoactive agent before CPR (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.15-3.58), initial pulseless condition (aOR: 2.38, 95% CI 1.46-3.86) or development of pulselessness (aOR: 2.36, 95% CI 1.78-3.12), and NICU location compared with PICU (aOR: 3.85, 95% CI 2.86-5.19). Endotracheal intubation during CPR was associated with decreased odds of pre-discharge mortality (aOR: 0.40, 95% CI 0.33-0.49). CONCLUSION Infants who receive CPR in the intensive care unit experience high mortality rates; identifiable patient, event, and unit factors increase the odds of mortality. Further investigation should explore the association between unit type, resuscitation processes, and mortality.

Abstract
Background and aims Cardiac arrest (CA) in children is a major public health problem. Thanks to advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines and teaching skills, results in children have improved. However, pediatric CA has a very high mortality. In the treatment of in-hospital CA there are still multiple controversies. The objective of this study is to develop a multicenter and international registry of in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest including the diversity of management in different clinical and social contexts. Participation in this register will enable the evaluation of the diagnosis of CA, CPR and post-resuscitation care and its influence in survival and neurological prognosis. Methods An intrahospital CA data recording protocol has been designed following the Utstein model. Database is hosted according to European legislation regarding patient data protection. It is drafted in English and Spanish. Invitation to participate has been sent to Spanish, European and Latinamerican hospitals. Variables included, asses hospital characteristics, the resuscitation team, patient’s demographics and background, CPR, post-resuscitation care, mortality, survival and long-term evolution. Survival at hospital discharge will be evaluated as a primary outcome and survival with good neurological status as a secondary outcome, analyzing the different factors involved in them. The study design is prospective, observational registry of a cohort of pediatric CA. Conclusions This study represents the development of a registry of in-hospital CA in childhood. Its development will provide access to CPR data in different hospital settings and will allow the analysis of current controversies in the treatment of pediatric CA and post-resuscitation care. The results may contribute to the development of further international recommendations. Trial register: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04675918.

Fewer tracheal intubation attempts are associated with improved neurologically intact survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2021; 167:289-296. [PMID: 34271128 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.07.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND International guidelines emphasize advanced airway management during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We hypothesized that increasing endotracheal intubation attempts during OHCA were associated with a lower likelihood of favorable neurologic survival at discharge. METHODS This retrospective, observational cohort evaluated the relationship between number of intubation attempts and favorable neurologic survival among non-traumatic OHCA patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from January 1, 2015-June 30, 2019 in a large urban emergency medical services (EMS) system. Favorable neurologic status at hospital discharge was defined as a Cerebral Performance Category score of 1 or 2. Multivariable logistic regression, adjusted for age, sex, witness status, bystander CPR, initial rhythm, and time of EMS arrival, was performed using the number of attempts as a continuous variable. RESULTS Over 54 months, 1205 patients were included. Intubation attempts per case were 1 = 757(63%), 2 = 279(23%), 3 = 116(10%), ≥4 = 49(4%), and missing/unknown in 4(<1%). The mean (SD) time interval from paramedic arrival to intubation increased with the number of attempts: 1 = 4.9(2.4) min, 2 = 8.0(2.9) min, 3 = 10.9(3.3) min, and ≥4 = 15.5(4.4) min. Final advanced airway techniques employed were endotracheal intubation (97%), supraglottic devices (3%), and cricothyrotomy (<1%). Favorable neurologic outcome declined with each additional attempt: 11% with 1 attempt, 4% with 2 attempts, 3% with 3 attempts, and 2% with 4 or more attempts (AOR = 0.41, 95% CI 0.25-0.68). CONCLUSIONS Increasing number of intubation attempts during OHCA resuscitation was associated with lower likelihood of favorable neurologic outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to describe the approach to and impact of endotracheal tube (ETT) placement for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) occurring in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of in-NICU CPR from 2012 to 2017 across ten NICUs in San Antonio, Texas. RESULTS Of 209 CPR events, 22 (10.5%) patients required ETT placement at CPR onset, 23 (11%) had an existing ETT removed and replaced, and 8 (3.4%) both. We found no association between time without an ETT tube during CPR and time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or rate of ROSC. We found no documented use of a laryngeal mask airway during in-NICU CPR. CONCLUSIONS For CPR occurring in the NICU, the achievement of ROSC or time to ROSC is not impacted by the need to place an initial AA at the onset of CPR in this contemporary cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thirty-day readmissions among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) contribute to the US health care burden of preventable complications and costs. Digital health interventions (DHIs) may improve patient health care self-management and outcomes. We aimed to determine if patients with AMI using a DHI have lower 30-day unplanned all-cause readmissions than a historical control. METHODS This nonrandomized controlled trial with a historical control, conducted at 4 US hospitals from 2015 to 2019, included 1064 patients with AMI (DHI n=200, control n=864). The DHI integrated a smartphone application, smartwatch, and blood pressure monitor to support guideline-directed care during hospitalization and through 30-days post-discharge via (1) medication reminders, (2) vital sign and activity tracking, (3) education, and (4) outpatient care coordination. The Patient Activation Measure assessed patient knowledge, skills, and confidence for health care self-management. All-cause 30-day readmissions were measured through administrative databases. Propensity score-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models estimated hazard ratios of readmission for the DHI group relative to the control group. RESULTS Following propensity score adjustment, baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the DHI versus control patients (standardized differences <0.07), including a mean age of 59.3 versus 60.1 years, 30% versus 29% Women, 70% versus 70% White, 54% versus 54% with private insurance, 61% versus 60% patients with a non ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and 15% versus 15% with high comorbidity burden. DHI patients were predominantly in the highest levels of patient activation for health care self-management (mean score 71.7±16.6 at 30 days). The DHI group had fewer all-cause 30-day readmissions than the control group (6.5% versus 16.8%, respectively). Adjusting for hospital site and a propensity score inclusive of age, sex, race, AMI type, comorbidities, and 6 additional confounding factors, the DHI group had a 52% lower risk for all-cause 30-day readmissions (hazard ratio, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.26-0.88]). Similar results were obtained in a sensitivity analysis employing propensity matching. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that in patients with AMI, the DHI may be associated with high patient activation for health care self-management and lower risk of all-cause unplanned 30-day readmissions.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess factors influencing the design of a pediatric prehospital airway management trial, including minimum clinically significant differences for three clinical subgroups. Methods: We conducted a virtual consensus-conference among U.S. emergency medical services (EMS) agency medical directors and researchers in the Fall of 2020. This included (1) a preconference survey, (2) an interactive live videoconference, and (3) a postconference survey. Participants were identified through co-investigator relationships and by surveying "The Eagles," a consortium of medical directors from large urban EMS systems and, subsequently, through follow up email contact based on survey responses. Results: Twenty-seven of the 34 (80%) EMS agencies we invited responded to the prewebinar survey. Of the 27 agencies, 27 (100%) use BMV, 19 (70%) use endotracheal intubation (ETI), 21 (78%) use supraglottic airways (SGA). SGA use included 14 (52%) who use the iGel, 8 (30%) who use the King laryngeal tube (LT), and 2 (7%) who use a laryngeal mask airway (LMA). Three agencies use more than one of the available SGAs. Twenty (74%) of the EMS agencies indicated they had access to an SGA suitable for pediatric patients, and 9 (33%) agencies have access to pediatric video laryngoscopy. The majority of agencies indicated that the minimum clinically significant difference for survival to change practice was 1% for cardiac arrest patients with a baseline survival assumption of 7%, 4% for respiratory failure with a baseline survival assumption of 73%, and 3% for trauma with a baseline survival assumption of 42%. Overall, these agencies responded that BVM vs. SGA is the most important comparison that would change their practice. Conclusions: This virtual consensus conference provided a new perspective on current airway management practice and identified specific factors likely to drive change in pediatric prehospital airway management. This information will be leveraged in future trial design to ensure impactful clinical trials.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) occurs frequently and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The objective of this narrative review is to summarize the current knowledge and recommendations regarding pediatric IHCA and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). OBSERVATIONS Each year, more than 15 000 children receive CPR for cardiac arrest during hospitalization in the United States. As many as 80% to 90% survive the event, but most patients do not survive to hospital discharge. Most IHCAs occur in intensive care units and other monitored settings and are associated with respiratory failure or shock. Bradycardia with poor perfusion is the initial rhythm in half of CPR events, and only about 10% of events have an initial shockable rhythm. Pre-cardiac arrest systems focus on identifying at-risk patients and ensuring that they are in monitored settings. Important components of CPR include high-quality chest compressions, timely defibrillation when indicated, appropriate ventilation and airway management, administration of epinephrine to increase coronary perfusion pressure, and treatment of the underlying cause of cardiac arrest. Extracorporeal CPR and measurement of physiological parameters are evolving areas in improving outcomes. Structured post-cardiac arrest care focused on targeted temperature management, optimization of hemodynamics, and careful intensive care unit management is associated with improved survival and neurological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Pediatric IHCA occurs frequently and has a high mortality rate. Early identification of risk, prevention, delivery of high-quality CPR, and post-cardiac arrest care can maximize the chances of achieving favorable outcomes. More research in this field is warranted.

Trends over time in drug administration during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States. Resuscitation 2020; 158:243-252. [PMID: 33147522 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2020.09.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To describe trends in pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest drug administration and to assess temporal associations of the Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guideline changes with drug usage. METHODS Pediatric patients <18 years old with in-hospital cardiac arrest recorded in the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation database between 2002 and 2018 were included. The annual adjusted odds of receiving each intra-arrest medication was determined. The association between changes in the PALS Guidelines and medication use over time was assessed interrupted time series analyses. RESULTS A total of 6107 patients were analyzed. The adjusted odds of receiving lidocaine (0.33; 95% CI, 0.18, 0.61; p < 0.001), atropine (0.19; 95% CI 0.12, 0.30; p < 0.001) and bicarbonate (0.54; 95% CI 0.35, 0.86; p = 0.009) were lower in 2018 compared to 2002. For lidocaine, there were no significant changes in the step (-2.1%; 95% CI, -5.9%, 1.6%; p = 0.27) after the 2010 or 2015 (Step: -1.5%; 95% CI, -8.0%, 5.0; p = 0.65) guideline releases. There were no significant changes in the step for bicarbonate (-2.3%; 95% CI, -7.6%, 3.0%; p = 0.39) after the 2010 updates. For atropine, there was a downward step change after the 2010 guideline release (-5.9%; 95% CI, -10.5%, -1.3%; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Changes to the PALS guidelines for lidocaine and bicarbonate were not temporally associated with acute changes in the use of these medications; however, better alignment with these updates was observed over time. A minor update to the language surrounding atropine in the PALS text was associated with a modest acute change in the observed use of atropine. Future studies exploring other factors that influence prescribers in pediatric IHCA are needed.

Timing of tracheal intubation on mortality and duration of mechanical ventilation in critically ill children: A propensity score analysis. Pediatr Pulmonol 2020; 55:3126-3133. [PMID: 32797663 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.25026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate whether early tracheal intubation (TI) is associated with a reduced risk of mortality and increased ventilator-free days (VFD). METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of children 0 to 18 years old in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), between 2008 and 2017. Patient demographics, vital signs, and laboratory findings were extracted. Using a time-dependent propensity score-matched algorithm, each patient was matched with another equally likely to be intubated within the same hour but was actually intubated with ≤2 hours, 2 to 4 hours, and 4 to 6 hours delays. Outcomes were mortality and VFD. RESULTS Among 333 patients, the median age was 1.72 years (interquartile range [IQR] 0.17-7.75). Thirty children died (9.0%) and the median PICU length of stay was 6.7 days (IQR 3.9-13.2). Early TI did not decrease mortality significantly when compared to a ≤2 hour delay (odds ratios [OR] 0.86; 95% CI, 0.40-1.85), a 2 to 4 hour delay (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.39-1.69), or a 4 to 6 hour delay (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.43-1.79). Similarly, early TI did not significantly increase VFD. Patients with early TI had 0.09 more VFD (95% CI -1.83 to 2.01) when compared to a delay within 2 hours, 0.23 more VFD (95% CI -1.66 to 2.13) when compared to a 2 to 4-hour delay and 0.56 more VFD (95% CI -1.49-2.61) when compared to a 4 to 6-hour delay. CONCLUSIONS We did not find a significant association between the timing of TI and mortality or VFD in critically ill children.

Abstract
Importance There is wide variability among emergency medical systems (EMS) with respect to transport to hospital during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitative efforts. The benefit of intra-arrest transport during resuscitation compared with continued on-scene resuscitation is unclear. Objective To determine whether intra-arrest transport compared with continued on-scene resuscitation is associated with survival to hospital discharge among patients experiencing OHCA. Design, Setting, and Participants Cohort study of prospectively collected consecutive nontraumatic adult EMS-treated OHCA data from the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) Cardiac Epidemiologic Registry (enrollment, April 2011-June 2015 from 10 North American sites; follow-up until the date of hospital discharge or death [regardless of when either event occurred]). Patients treated with intra-arrest transport (exposed) were matched with patients in refractory arrest (at risk of intra-arrest transport) at that same time (unexposed), using a time-dependent propensity score. Subgroups categorized by initial cardiac rhythm and EMS-witnessed cardiac arrests were analyzed. Exposures Intra-arrest transport (transport initiated prior to return of spontaneous circulation), compared with continued on-scene resuscitation. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge, and the secondary outcome was survival with favorable neurological outcome (modified Rankin scale <3) at hospital discharge. Results The full cohort included 43 969 patients with a median age of 67 years (interquartile range, 55-80), 37% were women, 86% of cardiac arrests occurred in a private location, 49% were bystander- or EMS-witnessed, 22% had initial shockable rhythms, 97% were treated by out-of-hospital advanced life support, and 26% underwent intra-arrest transport. Survival to hospital discharge was 3.8% for patients who underwent intra-arrest transport and 12.6% for those who received on-scene resuscitation. In the propensity-matched cohort, which included 27 705 patients, survival to hospital discharge occurred in 4.0% of patients who underwent intra-arrest transport vs 8.5% who received on-scene resuscitation (risk difference, 4.6% [95% CI, 4.0%- 5.1%]). Favorable neurological outcome occurred in 2.9% of patients who underwent intra-arrest transport vs 7.1% who received on-scene resuscitation (risk difference, 4.2% [95% CI, 3.5%-4.9%]). Subgroups of initial shockable and nonshockable rhythms as well as EMS-witnessed and unwitnessed cardiac arrests all had a significant association between intra-arrest transport and lower probability of survival to hospital discharge. Conclusions and Relevance Among patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, intra-arrest transport to hospital compared with continued on-scene resuscitation was associated with lower probability of survival to hospital discharge. Study findings are limited by potential confounding due to observational design.

Abstract
Pediatric cardiac arrest is a relatively rare but devastating presentation in infants and children. In contrast to adult patients, in whom a primary cardiac dysrhythmia is the most likely cause of cardiac arrest, pediatric patients experience cardiovascular collapse most frequently after an initial respiratory arrest. Aggressive treatment in the precardiac arrest state should be initiated to prevent deterioration and should focus on support of oxygenation, ventilation, and hemodynamics, regardless of the presumed cause. Unfortunately, outcomes for pediatric cardiac arrest, whether in hospital or out of hospital, continue to be poor.

Effects of Bag Mask Ventilation and Advanced Airway Management on Adherence to Ventilation Recommendations and Chest Compression Fraction: A Prospective Randomized Simulator-Based Trial. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9072045. [PMID: 32610672 PMCID: PMC7408746 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9072045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The role of advanced airway management (AAM) in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is currently debated as observational studies reported better outcomes after bag-mask ventilation (BMV), and the only prospective randomized trial was inconclusive. Adherence to CPR guidelines ventilation recommendations is unknown and difficult to assess in clinical trials. This study compared AAM and BMV with regard to adherence to ventilation recommendations and chest compression fractions in simulated cardiac arrests. A total of 154 teams of 3–4 physicians were randomized to perform CPR with resuscitation equipment restricting airway management to BMV only or equipment allowing for all forms of AAM. BMV teams ventilated 6 ± 6/min and AAM teams 19 ± 8/min (range 3–42/min; p < 0.0001 vs. BMV). 68/78 BMV teams and 23/71 AAM teams adhered to the ventilation recommendations (p < 0.0001). BMV teams had lower compression fractions than AAM teams (78 ± 7% vs. 86 ± 6%, p < 0.0001) resulting entirely from higher no-flow times for ventilation (9 ± 4% vs. 3 ± 3 %; p < 0.0001). Compared to BMV, AAM leads to significant hyperventilation and lower adherence to ventilation recommendations but favourable compression fractions. The cumulative effect of deviations from ventilation recommendations has the potential to blur findings in clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lidocaine and amiodarone are both included in the pediatric cardiac arrest guidelines as treatments of shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, although there is limited evidence to support this recommendation. METHODS In this cohort study from the Get With The Guidelines - Resuscitation registry, we included pediatric patients (≤18 years) with an in-hospital cardiac arrest between 2000 and 2018, who presented with an initial or subsequent shockable rhythm (ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia). Patients receiving amiodarone were matched to patients receiving lidocaine based on a propensity score, calculated from multiple patient, event, and hospital characteristics. RESULTS A total of 365 patients were available for the analysis, of which 180 (49%) patients were matched on the propensity score. The median age in the raw cohort was 6 (quartiles, 0.5-14) years, 164 (45%) patients were female, and 238 (65%) patients received an antiarrhythmic for an initial shockable rhythm. In the matched cohort, there were no statistically significant differences between patients receiving lidocaine compared to amiodarone in return of spontaneous circulation (RR, 0.99 [95%CI, 0.82-1.19]; p = 0.88), survival to 24 h (RR, 1.02 [95%CI, 0.76-1.38]; p = 0.88), survival to hospital discharge (RR, 1.01 [95%CI, 0.63-1.63]; p = 0.96), and favorable neurological outcome (RR, 0.65 [95%CI, 0.35-1.21]; p = 0.17). The results remained consistent in multiple sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS In children with cardiac arrest receiving antiarrhythmics for a shockable rhythm, there was no significant difference in clinical outcomes between those receiving lidocaine compared to amiodarone.

Deviations from AHA guidelines during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation are associated with decreased event survival. Resuscitation 2020; 149:89-99. [PMID: 32057946 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2020.01.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Revised: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Deviations (DEVs) from resuscitation guidelines are associated with worse outcomes after adult in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), but impact during pediatric IHCA is unknown. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of prospectively collected data from the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry. Children who had an index IHCA of ≥1 min from 2000 to 2014 were included. DEVs are defined by the registry by category (airway, medications, etc.) A composite measure termed circulation DEV(C-DEV), defined as at least one process deviation in the following categories: medications, defibrillation, vascular access, or chest compressions, was the primary exposure variable. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Mixed-effect models with random intercept for each hospital assessed the relationship of DEVs with survival to hospital discharge. Robustness of findings was assessed via planned secondary analysis using propensity score matching. RESULTS Among 7078 eligible index IHCA events, 1200 (17.0%) had DEVs reported. Airway DEVs (466; 38.8%) and medication DEVs (321; 26.8%) were most common. C-DEVs were present in 629 (52.4%). Before matching, C-DEVs were associated with decreased rate of ROSC (aOR = 0.53, CI95: 0.43-0.64, p < 0.001) and survival to hospital discharge (aOR = 0.71, CI95: 0.60-0.86, p < 0.001). In the matched cohort (C-DEV n = 573, no C-DEV n = 1146), C-DEVs were associated with decreased rate of ROSC (aOR 0.76, CI95 0.60-0.96, p = 0.02), but no association with survival to hospital discharge (aOR 1.01, CI95 0.81-1.25, p = 0.96). CONCLUSIONS DEVs were common in this cohort of pediatric IHCA. In a propensity matched cohort, while survival to hospital discharge was similar between groups, events with C-DEVs were less likely to achieve ROSC.

Abstract
Background: Prehospital pediatric endotracheal intubation (ETI) is rarely performed. Previous research has suggested that pediatric prehospital ETI, when performed by ground advanced life support crews, is associated with poor outcomes. In this study, we aim to evaluate the first-attempt success rate, overall success rate and complications of pediatric prehospital ETI performed by critical care transport (CCT) personnel.Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study in a multi-state CCT service performing rotor wing, ground, and fixed wing missions. We included pediatric patients (<18 years) for whom ETI was performed by CCT personnel (flight nurse or flight paramedic).Our primary outcome of interest was rate of first-attempt ETI. Secondary outcomes were overall rates of successful ETI, complications encountered, and outcomes of patients with unsuccessful intubation.Results: 993 patients were included (63.2% male, median age 12 years, IQR 4-16 years). 807/993 (81.3%) patients were intubated on the first attempt. Lower rates of successful first-attempt intubation were seen in younger ages (42.9% in infants ≤30 days of age). In multivariable logistic regression, lower odds (adjusted odds ratio, 95% confidence interval) of successful first-attempt ETI were associated with ages >30 days to <1 year (0.33, 0.18-0.61) and 2 to <6 years (0.60, 0.39-0.94) compared to patients 12 to <18 years. Patients given an induction agent and neuromuscular blockade (NMB) had a higher odds of first-attempt ETI success (1.53, 1.06-2.15). 13 (1.3%) had immediately recognized esophageal intubation and 33 (3.3%) had vomiting. No episodes of pneumothorax were reported. 962/993 (96.9%) patients were successfully intubated after all attempts. In patients without successful ETI (n = 31), supraglottic airways were used in 24, bag-valve mask ventilation in 5, and surgical cricothyroidotomy in 2, with an overall advanced airway success rate of 988/993 (99.5%).Conclusion: Critical care flight nurses and paramedics performed successful intubations in pediatric patients at a high rate of success. Younger age was associated with lower success rates. Improved ETI training for younger patients and use of an induction agent and NMB may improve airway management in critically ill children.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether the use of epinephrine in pediatric patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation for bradycardia and poor perfusion was associated with improved clinical outcomes. METHODS Using the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry, we included pediatric patients (≤18 years) who received in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation for bradycardia with poor perfusion (non-pulseless event) between January 2000 and December 2018. Time-dependent propensity score matching was used to match patients receiving epinephrine within the first 10 min of resuscitation to patients at risk of receiving epinephrine within the same minute. RESULTS In the full cohort, 55% of patients were male and 39% were neonates. A higher number of patients receiving epinephrine required vasopressors and mechanical ventilation prior to the event compared to those not receiving epinephrine. A total of 3528 patients who received epinephrine were matched to 3528 patients at risk of receiving epinephrine based on the propensity score. Epinephrine was associated with decreased survival to hospital discharge (RR, 0.79 [95% CI, 0.74-0.85]; p < 0.001), return of spontaneous circulation (RR, 0.94 [95% CI, 0,91-0.96]; p < 0.001), 24-h survival (RR, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.81-0.90]; p < 0.001), and favorable neurological outcome (RR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.68-0.84]; p < 0.001). Epinephrine was also associated with an increased risk of progression to pulselessness (RR, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.06-1.28]; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In children receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation for bradycardia with poor perfusion, epinephrine was associated with worse outcomes, although the study does not eliminate the potential for confounding.

Abstract
This 2019 focused update to the American Heart Association pediatric advanced life support guidelines follows the 2018 and 2019 systematic reviews performed by the Pediatric Life Support Task Force of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. It aligns with the continuous evidence review process of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, with updates published when the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation completes a literature review based on new published evidence. This update provides the evidence review and treatment recommendations for advanced airway management in pediatric cardiac arrest, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pediatric cardiac arrest, and pediatric targeted temperature management during post-cardiac arrest care. The writing group analyzed the systematic reviews and the original research published for each of these topics. For airway management, the writing group concluded that it is reasonable to continue bag-mask ventilation (versus attempting an advanced airway such as endotracheal intubation) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. When extracorporeal membrane oxygenation protocols and teams are readily available, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be considered for patients with cardiac diagnoses and in-hospital cardiac arrest. Finally, it is reasonable to use targeted temperature management of 32°C to 34°C followed by 36°C to 37.5°C, or to use targeted temperature management of 36°C to 37.5°C, for pediatric patients who remain comatose after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract
The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation has initiated a continuous review of new, peer-reviewed, published cardiopulmonary resuscitation science. This is the third annual summary of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations. It addresses the most recent published resuscitation evidence reviewed by International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation Task Force science experts. This summary addresses the role of cardiac arrest centers and dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the role of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults and children, vasopressors in adults, advanced airway interventions in adults and children, targeted temperature management in children after cardiac arrest, initial oxygen concentration during resuscitation of newborns, and interventions for presyncope by first aid providers. Members from 6 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task forces have assessed, discussed, and debated the certainty of the evidence on the basis of the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria, and their statements include consensus treatment recommendations. Insights into the deliberations of the task forces are provided in the Justification and Evidence to Decision Framework Highlights sections. The task forces also listed priority knowledge gaps for further research.
