Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiac arrest centres (CACs) may play a key role in providing postresuscitation care, thereby improving outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). There is no consensus on CAC definitions or the optimal CAC transport strategy despite advances in research. This review provides an updated overview of CACs, highlighting evidence gaps and future research directions. RECENT FINDINGS CAC definitions vary worldwide but often feature 24/7 percutaneous coronary intervention capability, targeted temperature management, neuroprognostication, intensive care, education, and research within a centralized, high-volume hospital. Significant evidence exists for benefits of CACs related to regionalization. A recent meta-analysis demonstrated clearly improved survival with favourable neurological outcome and survival among patients transported to CACs with conclusions robust to sensitivity analyses. However, scarce data exists regarding 'who', 'when', and 'where' for CAC transport strategies. Evidence for OHCA patients without ST elevation postresuscitation to be transported to CACs remains unclear. Preliminary evidence demonstrated greater benefit from CACs among patients with shockable rhythms. Randomized controlled trials should evaluate specific strategies, such as bypassing nearest hospitals and interhospital transfer. SUMMARY Real-world study designs evaluating CAC transport strategies are needed. OHCA patients with underlying culprit lesions, such as those with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or initial shockable rhythms, will likely benefit the most from CACs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Prognostication after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains challenging. The inflammatory response after OHCA has been associated with increased mortality. This study investigates the associations and predictive value between inflammatory markers and outcome in resuscitated OHCA patients. DESIGN The study is based on post hoc analyses of a double-blind controlled trial, where resuscitated OHCA patients were randomized to receive either exenatide or placebo. Blood was analyzed for levels of inflammatory markers the day following admission. Primary endpoint was time to death for up to 180 days. Secondary endpoints included 180-day mortality and poor neurological outcome after 180 days, defined as a cerebral performance category (CPC) of 3 to 5. RESULTS Among 110 included patients we found significant associations between higher leucocyte quartile and increasing mortality in univariable analysis (OR 2.6 (95%CI 1.6-4.2), p < .001), as well as in multivariable analysis (OR 2.1 (95%CI 1.1-4.0), p = .02). A significant association was found between higher neutrophil quartile and increasing mortality in univariable analysis (OR 3.0 (95%CI 1.8-5.0), p < .001) as well as multivariable analysis (OR 2.4 (95%CI 1.2-4.6), p = .01). Leucocyte and neutrophil levels were predictive of poor outcome after 180 days with area under the receiver operating characteristics curves of 0.79 and 0.81, respectively. We found no associations between CRP and lymphocyte levels versus outcome. CONCLUSIONS Total leucocyte count and neutrophil levels measured the first day following OHCA were significantly associated with 180-day all-cause mortality and may potentially act as early predictors of outcome.

The Selective NLRP3-inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 Mitigates Post-resuscitation Myocardial Dysfunction and Improves Survival in a Rat Model of Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation. Cardiovasc Drugs Ther 2022; 37:423-433. [PMID: 34973094 PMCID: PMC10164003 DOI: 10.1007/s10557-021-07282-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of the selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 on post-resuscitation myocardial function and survival in a rat model of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). METHODS Thirty-six Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into three groups: (1) MCC950, (2) control, and (3) sham. Each group consisted of a 6 h non-survival subgroup (n = 6) and a 48 h survival subgroup (n = 6). Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was induced and untreated for 6 min. CPR was initiated and continued for 8 min. Resuscitation was attempted with a 4 J defibrillation. MCC950 (10 mg/kg) or vehicle was administered via intraperitoneal injection immediately after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Myocardial function and sublingual microcirculation were measured after ROSC in the non-survival subgroups. Plasma levels of interleukin Iβ (IL-1β) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were measured at baseline and 6 h in the non-survival subgroups. Heart tissue was harvested to measure the NLRP3 inflammasome constituents, including NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC), Caspase-1, and IL-1β. Survival duration and neurologic deficit score (NDS) were recorded and evaluated among survival groups. RESULTS Post-resuscitation myocardial function and sublingual microcirculation were improved in MCC950 compared with control (p < 0.05). IL-1β and cTnI were decreased in MCC950 compared to control (p < 0.01). The MCC950 treated groups showed significantly reduced ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Survival at 48 h after ROSC was greater in MCC950 (p < 0.05) with improved NDS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Administration of MCC950 following ROSC mitigates post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction and improves survival.

Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 as outcome predictor after cardiopulmonary resuscitation: an observational prospective study. Sci Rep 2021; 11:21756.

Abstract
Prognostication after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is complex. Novel biomarkers like soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) may provide an objective approach. A total of 106 post-CPR patients were included in this single-center observational prospective study. Serum sST2 levels were obtained 24 h after admission. Individuals were assigned to two groups: patients below and above the overall cohort’s median sST2 concentration. Primary outcome was a combined endpoint at 6 months (death or Cerebral Performance Category > 2); secondary endpoint 30-day mortality. A uni- and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted. Elevated sST2-levels were associated with an increased risk for the primary outcome (OR 1.011, 95% CI 1.004–1.019, p = 0.004), yet no patients with poor neurological outcome were observed at 6 months. The optimal empirical cut-off for sST2 was 46.15 ng/ml (sensitivity 81%, specificity 53%, AUC 0.69). Levels above the median (> 53.42 ng/ml) were associated with higher odds for both endpoints (death or CPC > 2 after 6 months: 21% vs. 49%, OR 3.59, 95% CI 1.53–8.45, p = 0.003; death after 30 days: 17% vs. 43.3%, OR 3.75, 95% CI 1.52–9.21, p = 0.003). A positive correlation of serum sST2 after CPR with mortality at 30 days and 6 months after cardiac arrest could be demonstrated.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) remains a major public health issue. Inflammatory responses with overproduction of interleukin-1β regulated by NLRP3 inflammasome activation play a crucial role in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. We investigated the effects of the selective NLRP3-inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 on post-resuscitation cerebral function and neurologic outcome in a rat model of cardiac arrest. Thirty-six male rats were randomized into the MCC950 group, the control group, or the sham group (N = 12 of each group). Each group was divided into a 6 h non-survival subgroup (N = 6) and a 24 h survival subgroup (N = 6). Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was electrically induced and untreated for 6 min, followed by 8 min of precordial compressions and mechanical ventilation. Resuscitation was attempted with a 4J defibrillation. Either MCC950 (10 mg/kg) or vehicle was injected intraperitoneally immediately after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Rats in the sham group underwent the same surgical procedures without VF and CPR. Brain edema, cerebral microcirculation, plasma interleukin Iβ (IL-1β), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) concentration were measured at 6 h post-ROSC of non-survival subgroups, while 24 h survival rate, neurological deficits were measured at 24 h post-ROSC of survival subgroups. Post-resuscitation brain edema was significantly reduced in animals treated with MCC950 (p < 0.05). Cerebral perfused vessel density (PVD) and microcirculatory flow index (MFI) values were significantly higher in the MCC950 group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The plasma concentrations of IL-1β and NSE were significantly decreased in animals treated with MCC950 compared with the control group (p < 0.05). 24 h-survival rate and neurological deficits score (NDS) was also significantly improved in the MCC950 group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). NLRP3 inflammasome blockade with MCC950 at ROSC reduces the circulatory level of IL-1β, preserves cerebral microcirculation, mitigates cerebral edema, improves the 24 h-survival rate, and neurological deficits.

Abstract
METHODS Retrospective analysis of all patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the ICU of the cardiologic department of the University Hospital of Halle (Saale) between 1999 and 2009. RESULTS During the observation period, 169 patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest and information regarding temperature measurements were treated. Invasive therapeutic temperature management (TTM+) was applied in 64 patients (37.9%), while 105 patients (62.1%) underwent no therapeutic temperature management (TTM-). TTM+ and TTM- showed no relevant differences regarding patient age (TTM+: 67.6 ± 12.6 years; TTM-: 69.8 ± 12.6 years; p = 0.257), comorbidities and the initial rhythm; however, there were more men in the TTM+ group (76.6% vs. 58.1%; p = 0.015). All patients had been intubated. Time until ROSC in TTM+ was significantly longer (25.9 ± 25.8 min vs. 15.0 ± 12.4 min; p < 0.005). TTM+ resulted in a lower 30-day survival and an unfavourable neurologic outcome (Glasgow outcome scale I or II: 75% TTM+ vs. 55.2% TTM-). This negative effect persisted after adjustment for age of the patients, but not after adjustment for age and duration of reanimation (nonadjusted odds ratio for adverse neurologic outcome under TTM+: 0.411 (p = 0.011); odds ratio after adjusting for age: 0.361 (p = 0.09); odds ratio after adjusting for age and duration of the reanimation: 0.505 (p = 0.121)).

Abstract
Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a topic of great scientific and clinical interest that has received much attention in the past decade. Our study aimed to predict the trends in CPR research activities and evaluate hot topics via bibliometric means, quantitatively and qualitatively. Material/Methods All data were collected from a search of the Web of Science Core Collection on May 12, 2020. Retrieved information was investigated with bibliometric analysis by CiteSpace and VOSviewer software and the Online Analysis Platform of Literature Metrology to analyze and predict the trends and hotspots in this field. Results Our search returned a total of 9563 articles and reviews on CPR published from 2010 through 2019. The number of original research studies on CPR has been increasing annually. The journal Resuscitation published the greatest number of manuscripts involved CPR, and the leading country and institution with regard to contributions on CPR were the United States and the University of Pennsylvania. Keyword co-occurrence/co-citation-cluster analysis showed that the most popular terms associated with CPR occurred in the manner of cluster labels, such as therapeutic hypothermia and treatment recommendation, among others. In addition, palliative care, sepsis, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and brain injury were identified as new foci through burst detection analysis. Conclusions Our study showed that the scientific research focus on CPR is switching from traditional therapeutic treatments to a public health practice, with in-depth understanding and development of CPR-related techniques expanding over the past decade. These results demonstrate trends in the CPR research and detected the possible neo-foci for ensuing research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several randomized controlled trials have compared adrenaline (epinephrine) with alternative therapies in patients with cardiac arrest with conflicting results. Recent observational studies suggest that adrenaline might increase return of spontaneous circulation but worsen neurologic outcome. We systematically compared all the vasopressors tested in randomized controlled trials in adult cardiac arrest patients in order to identify the treatment associated with the highest rate of return of spontaneous circulation, survival, and good neurologic outcome. DESIGN Network meta-analysis. PATIENTS Adult patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. INTERVENTIONS PubMed, Embase, BioMed Central, and the Cochrane Central register were searched (up to April 1, 2017). We included all the randomized controlled trials comparing a vasopressor with any other therapy. A network meta-analysis with a frequentist approach was performed to identify the treatment associated with the highest likelihood of survival. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Twenty-eight studies randomizing 14,848 patients in 12 treatment groups were included. Only a combined treatment with adrenaline, vasopressin, and methylprednisolone was associated with increased likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation and survival with a good neurologic outcome compared with several other comparators, including adrenaline. Adrenaline alone was not associated with any significant difference in mortality and good neurologic outcome compared with any other comparator. CONCLUSIONS In randomized controlled trials assessing vasopressors in adults with cardiac arrest, only a combination of adrenaline, vasopressin, and methylprednisolone was associated with improved survival with a good neurologic outcome compared with any other drug or placebo, particularly in in-hospital cardiac arrest. There was no significant randomized evidence to support neither discourage the use of adrenaline during cardiac arrest.

On-the-Scene Hyaluronan and Syndecan-1 Serum Concentrations and Outcome after Cardiac Arrest and Resuscitation. Mediators Inflamm 2019; 2019:8071619.

Abstract
Background It is not predictable which patients will develop a severe inflammatory response after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), also known as “postcardiac arrest syndrome.” This pathology affects only a subgroup of cardiac arrest victims. Whole body ischemia/reperfusion and prolonged shock states after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) may both contribute to this devastating condition. The vascular endothelium with its glycocalyx is especially susceptible to initial ischemic damage and may play a detrimental role in the initiation of postischemic inflammatory reactions. It is not known to date if an immediate early damage to the endothelial glycocalyx, detected by on-the-scene blood sampling and measurement of soluble components (hyaluronan and syndecan-1), precedes and predicts multiple organ failure (MOF) and survival after ROSC. Methods 15 patients after prehospital resuscitation were included in the study. Serum samples were collected on the scene immediately after ROSC and after 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h. Hyaluronan and syndecan-1 were measured by ELISA. We associated the development of multiple organ failure and 30-day survival rates with these serum markers of early glycocalyx damage. Results Immediate serum hyaluronan concentrations show significant differences depending on 30-day survival. Further, the hyaluronan level is significantly higher in patients developing MOF during the initial and intermediate resuscitation period. Also, the syndecan-1 levels are significantly different according to MOF occurrence. Conclusion Serum markers of glycocalyx shedding taken immediately on the scene after ROSC can predict the occurrence of multiple organ failure and adverse clinical outcome in patients after cardiac arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Xuezhikang (XZK), a red yeast rice extract with lipid-lowering effect, contains a family of naturally statins, such as lovastatin. In recent years, its effect beyond the regulation of lipids has also been received increasing attention. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the protective effects and possible molecular mechanisms of XZK on brain injury after cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and to investigate whether it has a dose-dependent effect and the difference with lovastatin. METHODS Rats were treated with low-dose XZK (XZK-L, 20 mg/kg/d), high-dose XZK (XZK-H, 200 mg/kg/d) and lovastatin by gavage once daily for 2 weeks before CA. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were evaluated at 1, 4, and 72 h post-CA/CPR. The survival rate, neurological deficit score (NDS), and expression of TLR4, phosphorylated NF-κB and TNF-α in hippocampal tissues were evaluated at 72 h post-CA/CPR. RESULTS CA/CPR induced a significant increase in serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, as well as increased expressions of TLR4, phosphorylated NF-κB and TNF-α in the hippocampus. Both low-dose and high-dose XZK treatment inhibited the expression of these inflammatory cytokines. In addition, it reduced the number of defibrillations and shortened the duration of CPR required for return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). XZK treatment also improved neurological function and 72-hour survival rate in rats. However, high-dose XZK was superior to lovastatin in the suppression of IL-1β mRNA level and TNF-α protein level in hippocampal tissue after CPR. There were no significant differences observed among high-dose XZK, low-dose XZK and lovastatin groups in other respects. CONCLUSION These results indicated that XZK had a protective effect against brain injury post-CA/CPR. The mechanisms underlying the protective effects of XZK may be related to the suppressing of CA/CPR-induced inflammatory response through the inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contribution of the small intestine to systemic inflammation after cardiac arrest (CA) is poorly understood. The objective was to evaluate whether an in vivo rat model of 6 min CA is suitable to initiate intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion-injury and to evaluate histomorphological changes and inflammatory processes in the small intestinal mucosa resp. in sera. METHODS Adult male Wistar rats were subjected to CA followed by cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Proximal jejunum and serum was collected at 6 h, 24 h, 72 h and 7 d post return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and from a control group. The small intestine was evaluated histomorphologically. Cytokine concentrations were measured in jejunum lysates and sera. RESULTS Histomorphological evaluation revealed a significant increase in mucosal damage in the jejunum at all timepoints compared to controls (p < 0.0001). In jejunal tissues, concentrations of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-10, and TNF-α showed significant peaks at 24 h and were 1.5- to 5.7-fold higher than concentrations at 6 h and in the controls (p < 0.05). In serum, a significant higher amount of cytokine was detected only for IL-1β at 24 h post-ROSC compared to controls (15.78 vs. 9.76 pg/ml). CONCLUSION CA resulted in mild small intestinal tissue damage but not in systemic inflammation. A rat model of 6 min CA is not capable to comprehensively mimic a post cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). Whether there is a vital influence of the intestine on the PCAS still remains unclear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to analyze the incidence of infection in children who have suffered an in-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) and the association with mortality. METHODS A retrospective unicenter observational study on a prospective database with children between one month and 16 years old, who have suffered an in-hospital CA was performed. Clinical, analytical and monitorization data, treatment, mortality and cause of death were recorded. RESULTS 57 children were studied (57.6% males). Recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved in 50 children (87.7%) and 32 (59.3%) survived. After ROSC, 28 patients (56% of those who achieved ROSC) were diagnosed of infection. There were not significant differences in mortality between patients infected (42.9%) and uninfected (27.3%) p=0.374. Only one died in consequence of a sepsis with multiorganic failure. CONCLUSIONS The frequency of infection in children after recovering of a cardiac arrest is high. There were no statistically significant differences in mortality between patients with and without infection after ROSC.

Influence of core body temperature on Tryptophan metabolism, kynurenines, and estimated IDO activity in critically ill patients receiving target temperature management following cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2016; 107:107-14.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Temperature control improves neurological prognosis in comatose cardiac arrest (CA) survivors. Previous reports demonstrate that most affected patients show signs of significant systemic inflammation. In an effort to better characterize potential temperature-related effects on key inflammatory pathways, we investigate the course of Tryptophan (Trp) levels, Tryptophan catabolites (including kynurenines) and indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)-activity in post CA patients. MATERIAL/METHODS In an observational blinded endpoint analysis, a total of n=270 serial samples from 20 post CA patients (63.1±16.6 yrs., 45% shockable rhythm, mean time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) 26.6±16.0min) treated with target temperature management (TTM) were analyzed. Core body temperatures, course of Trp, Trp catabolites (incl. kynurenines), and estimated IDO-activity were followed up for a maximum of 7 days after ROSC. Patients were followed up until hospital discharge or death and functional outcome was recorded. RESULTS Over the 7-day observational interval, marked changes in Trp serum levels and IDO-activity were noted. In general, Trp serum levels but not IDO-activity seemed to parallel with the course of core body temperature. In explorative analyses, a correlation of Trp (rho=0.271 (95%-CI: 0.16-0.38, p<0.0001) and IDO-activity (rho=-0.155, 95%-CI: -0.27 to -0.037, p=0.01) with core body temperature was observed. Linear mixed effect models revealed a positive significant association of core body temperature with Trp serum levels (Likelihood ratio test χ(2)=6.35, p=0.012). In patients with good (vs. unfavorable) outcome, a tendency toward higher Trp serum levels, lower IDO-activity, and lower Kynurenic acid levels was noted. CONCLUSIONS We observed significant changes in Trp catabolism and IDO-activity that appeared temperature associated in post CA patients. Under hypothermia, decreased serum levels of Trp and increased IDO-activity were noted. We speculate from our data that IDO-induction during hypothermia contributes to the previously described increased susceptibility to infection or sepsis under reduced temperatures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 18 million patients are treated in German hospitals annually. On the basis of internationally published data the number of in-hospital cardiac arrests can be estimated as 54,000 per year. A structured treatment of in-hospital resuscitation according to the current scientific evidence is essential. AIM In-hospital resuscitation shows some special characteristics in comparison to resuscitation in emergency services, which are highlighted in this article. MATERIAL AND METHODS This article is based on the international guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) first published in 1992 by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) as well as the amendments (current version 2010). Some current studies are also presented, which could not be taken into consideration for the guidelines from 2010. RESULTS High quality chest compressions with as few interruptions as possible are of utmost importance. Patients with cardiac rhythms which can be defibrillated should be defibrillated within less than 2 min after the collapse. There is no evidence that equipping hospitals with automated external defibrillators is an advantage for survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Endotracheal intubation represents the gold standard of airway management during CPR. During in-hospital resuscitation experienced anesthesiologists are mostly involved; however, the use of supraglottic airway devices may help to minimize interruptions in chest compressions especially before the medical emergency team arrives at the scene. Feedback devices may improve the quality of manual chest compressions; however, most devices overestimate the compression depth if the patient is resuscitated when lying in bed. There is no evidence that mechanical chest compression devices improve the outcome after cardiac arrest. Mild therapeutic hypothermia is still recommended for neuroprotection after successful in-hospital resuscitation. CONCLUSION The prevention of cardiac arrest is of special importance. Uniform and low threshold criteria for alarming the medical emergency team have to be defined to be able to identify and treat critically ill patients in time before cardiac arrest occurs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early coronary angiography and computed tomography are recommended in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, both techniques require iodinated contrast agent although the effects on incident acute kidney injury are unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the incidence of acute kidney injuries (AKI) and need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients after nontraumatic OHCA with special regard to the administration of contrast agent during the early in-hospital diagnostic workup. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from all survivors of OHCA admitted to our hospital between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2015 were retrospectively collected. Incidence of AKI and RRT between the contrast and no contrast groups were compared. RESULTS Of 280 OHCA survivors, 133 (47.5 %) received contrast agent (227.0 ± 136.5 ml). Within 72 h after hospital admission, 47 of 129 survivors (36.4 %) developed AKI of any stage, but AKI was more common in patients without early contrast administration than in patients with early contrast administration (54.5 vs. 28.2 %; p = 0.011). Patients who survived until hospital discharge had higher serum creatinine levels at admission than at hospital discharge (1.17 ± 0.37 vs. 0.92 ± 0.35; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION AKI is common in survivors of OHCA, and RRT following OHCA is needed more frequently than in other cardiac disease. Despite elevated serum creatinine levels at admission, we could not show an association between early contrast administration in survivors of OHCA and AKI incidence.
