Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest remains a critical condition with high mortality and catastrophic neurological impact. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has been introduced as an adjunct in cardiopulmonary resuscitation modalities. However, survival with good neurological outcomes remains a major concern. This study aims to explore our early experience with ECPR and identify the factors associated with survival in patients presenting with refractory cardiac arrest. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study analyzing 6-year data from a tertiary center, the country reference for ECPR. This study was conducted at a national center of ECPR. Participants of this study were adult patients who experienced witnessed refractory cardiopulmonary arrest and were supported by ECPR. ECPR was performed for eligible patients as per the local service protocols. RESULTS Data from 87 patients were analyzed; of this cohort, 62/87 patients presented with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and 25/87 presented with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Overall survival to decannulation and hospital discharge rates were 26.4% and 25.3%, respectively. Among survivors (n = 22), 19 presented with IHCA (30.6%), while only 3 survivors presented with OHCA (12%). A total of 15/87 (17%) patients were alive at 6-month follow-up. All survivors had good neurological function assessed as Cerebral Performance Category 1 or 2. Multivariate logistic regression to predict survival to hospital discharge showed that IHCA was the only independent predictor (odds ratio: 5.8, P = 0.042); however, this positive association disappeared after adjusting for the first left ventricular ejection fraction after resuscitation. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the use of ECPR for IHCA was associated with a higher survival to discharge compared to OHCA. This study demonstrated a comparable survival rate to other established centers, particularly for IHCA. Neurological outcomes were comparable in both IHCA and OHCA survivors. However, large multicenter studies are warranted for better understanding and improving the outcomes.

Abstract
Extracorporeal life support systems (ECLS) are life-sustaining measures for severe cardiovascular diseases, serving as bridging treatment either until cardiovascular function is restored or alternative treatment, such as heart transplantation or the implantation of permanent ventricular assist devices is performed. Given the insufficient evidence and frequent urgency of implantation without initial patient consent, the ethical challenges and psychological burden for patients, relatives and the interprofessional intensive care team are significant. As with any treatment, an appropriate therapeutic goal for ECLS treatment based on the indications and patient informed consent is mandatory. In order to integrate the necessary ethical considerations into everyday clinical practice, a structured algorithm for handling ECLS is proposed here, which takes ethical aspects into due account.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest is a hyper-acute condition with a high mortality that requires rapid diagnostics and treatment. As such, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become a valuable tool in the assessment of these patients. While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the more conventional modality used to find reversible causes of cardiac arrest, transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) has been increasingly utilised due to its superior image quality, continuous imaging, and ability to be operated away from the patient's chest. TOE also has a number of applications in the aftermath of cardiac arrest, such as during the initiation of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and the subsequent monitoring of extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO). As TOE has evolved, multiple variations have been developed with different utilities. In this article, we will review the evidence supporting the use of TOE in cardiac arrest and where the different forms of TOE can be applied to evaluate the cardiac arrest patient in a timely and accurate manner.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is increasingly being used for refractory cardiac arrest for both in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The term eCPR refers to cannulating a patient to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit to provide perfusion after cardiac arrest refractory to standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been shown to offer increased survival benefit among a select group of adult and pediatric patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrests, both in hospital and out of hospital. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be considered when (1) the cardiac arrest is witnessed, (2) the patient receives high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, (3) the patient is at or in close proximity to an ECMO center, (4) there is a reversible cause for the cardiac arrest where the perfusion from the ECMO circuit serves as a bridge to recovery, and (5) the treating facility has a robust multidisciplinary system in place to facilitate rapidly moving patients from site of arrest to site of cannulation to intensive care unit. To develop an eCPR system of care, a multidisciplinary team consisting of prehospital, emergency medicine, in-hospital, proceduralist, perfusionist, and intensive care medical professionals must be established who support the use of eCPR for refractory cardiac arrest. The future of eCPR is the development of systems of care that use eCPR for a narrow subset of pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of the review is to summarize recent research on metabolic support during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. In this review, we cover the evidence on nutritional supplementation, both the route of supplementation, timing of initiation of supplementation as well as quantities of supplementation needed. In addition, we discuss the recent trend in awake extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its benefits to patients. RECENT FINDINGS As ECMO use continues to increase over the last few years, for both cardiovascular as well as respiratory failure, the need to optimize the metabolic states of patients has arisen. Increasing evidence has pointed towards this hitherto unexplored domain of patient care having a large impact on outcomes. Additionally, strategies such as awake ECMO for select patients has allowed them to preserve muscle mass which could aid in a faster recovery. SUMMARY There is a role of optimal metabolic support in the early recovery of patients on ECMO that is currently under-recognized. Future directions of research that aim to improve post ECMO outcomes must focus on this area.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite systemic thrombolysis, a few patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) remain hemodynamically unstable. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a considerable lifesaving therapy but systemic thrombolysis before cannulation could carry a high risk of hemorrhage and alter the prognosis. METHODS Between June 2012 and June 2023, we retrospectively analyzed from three intensive care units in Sorbonne University, ECMO-related complications and 90-day mortality for high-risk PE patients who received ECMO without previous systemic thrombolysis compared to those cannulated after systemic thrombolysis failure. Hospital discharge survivors were assessed for long-term health-related quality of life and echocardiographic evaluations. RESULTS 72 high-risk PE patients [median age 48 (37-61) years, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) 74 (60-85)] were placed on VA-ECMO for 5 (5-7) days. 31 (43%) patients underwent pre-ECMO thrombolysis (thrombolysis ECMO group, T +) compared to 41 patients (57%, no thrombolysis ECMO group, T-). There was more pre-ECMO cardiac arrest in the thrombolysis ECMO group (94% vs. 67%, p = 0.02). Ninety-day survival was not different between groups (39% vs 46%, log-rank test, p = 0.31). There was no difference in severe hemorrhages (61% vs 59%, p = 1). Twenty-five over 28 patients attended follow-up at a median time of 69 (52-95) months. Long-term quality of life was acceptable and none of them experienced chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Ninety-day survival and bleeding events rates did not differ in patients treated with VA-ECMO after systemic thrombolysis compared to those who were not. Recent systemic thrombolysis, as a single parameter, should not be considered as a contraindication for VA-ECMO in high-risk PE.

Abstract
Obesity is often considered a contraindication to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) candidacy due to technical challenges with vascular access, higher cardiac output requirements, and known associations between obesity and overall increased morbidity and mortality due to chronic health conditions. However, a growing body of literature suggests that ECMO may be as safe and efficacious in both obese and nonobese patients. This scoping review provides a synthesis of the available literature on the outcomes of obese patients supported with (1) venovenous (VV)-ECMO in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) not due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), (2) VV-ECMO in ARDS due to COVID-19, (3) venoarterial (VA)-ECMO for all indications, and (4) studies combining data of patients supported with VA- and VV-ECMO. A librarian-assisted search was performed using 4 primary electronic medical databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Excerpta Medica database [Embase], and Cochrane Library) from January 2003 to March 2023. Articles that reported outcomes of obese patients requiring ECMO support were included. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full text of articles to determine eligibility. Data extraction was performed using customized fields established a priori within a systematic review software system. A total of 354 publications were imported for screening on titles and abstracts, and 30 studies were selected for full-text review. A total of 26 publications met the inclusion criteria: 7 on VV-ECMO support in non-COVID-19 ARDS patients, 6 on ECMO in COVID-19 ARDS patients, 8 in patients supported with VA-ECMO, and 5 combining both VA- and VV-ECMO data. Although the included studies are limited to retrospective analyses and display a heterogeneity in definitions of obesity and comparison groups, the currently available literature suggests that outcomes and complications of ECMO therapy are equivalent in obese patients as compared to nonobese patients. Hence, obesity as measured by body mass index alone should not be considered an exclusion criterion in the decision to initiate ECMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global shortage of solid organs for transplantation is exacerbated by high demand, resulting in organ deficits and steadily growing waiting lists. Diverse strategies have been established to address this issue and enhance organ availability, including the use of organs from individuals who have undergone extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR). The main aim of this work was to examine the outcomes for both graft and recipients of solid organ transplantations sourced from donors who underwent eCPR. METHODS We performed a systematic literature review using a combination of the terms related to extracorporeal life support and organ donation. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines, PubMed and Scopus databases were searched up to February 2024. RESULTS From 1764 considered publications, 13 studies comprising 130 donors and 322 organ donations were finally analyzed. On average, included patients were 36 y old, and the extracorporeal life support was used for 4 d. Kidneys were the most often transplanted organs (68%; 220/322), followed by liver (22%; 72/322) and heart (5%; 15/322); with a very good short-term graft survival rate (95% for kidneys, 92% for lungs, 88% for liver, and 73% for heart). Four studies with 230 grafts reported functional outcomes at the 1-y follow-up, with graft losses reported for 4 hearts (36%), 8 livers (17%), and 7 kidneys (4%). CONCLUSIONS Following eCPR, organs can be successfully used with very high graft and recipient survival. In terms of meeting demand, the use of organs from patients after eCPR might be a suitable method for expanding the organ donation pool.

Post-cardiotomy extracorporeal life support: A cohort of cannulation in the general ward. Artif Organs 2024.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Post-cardiotomy extracorporeal life support (ECLS) cannulation might occur in a general post-operative ward due to emergent conditions. Its characteristics have been poorly reported and investigated This study investigates the characteristics and outcomes of adult patients receiving ECLS cannulation in a general post-operative cardiac ward. METHODS The Post-cardiotomy Extracorporeal Life Support (PELS) is a retrospective (2000-2020), multicenter (34 centers), observational study including adult patients who required ECLS for post-cardiotomy shock. This PELS sub-analysis analyzed patients´ characteristics, in-hospital outcomes, and long-term survival in patients cannulated for veno-arterial ECLS in the general ward, and further compared in-hospital survivors and non-survivors. RESULTS The PELS study included 2058 patients of whom 39 (1.9%) were cannulated in the general ward. Most patients underwent isolated coronary bypass grafting (CABG, n = 15, 38.5%) or isolated non-CABG operations (n = 20, 51.3%). The main indications to initiate ECLS included cardiac arrest (n = 17, 44.7%) and cardiogenic shock (n = 14, 35.9%). ECLS cannulation occurred after a median time of 4 (2-7) days post-operatively. Most patients' courses were complicated by acute kidney injury (n = 23, 59%), arrhythmias (n = 19, 48.7%), and postoperative bleeding (n = 20, 51.3%). In-hospital mortality was 84.6% (n = 33) with persistent heart failure (n = 11, 28.2%) as the most common cause of death. No peculiar differences were observed between in-hospital survivors and nonsurvivors. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that ECLS cannulation due to post-cardiotomy emergent adverse events in the general ward is rare, mainly occurring in preoperative low-risk patients and after a postoperative cardiac arrest. High complication rates and low in-hospital survival require further investigations to identify patients at risk for such a complication, optimize resources, enhance intervention, and improve outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) might markedly increase the survival of selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest. But the application situation and indications remained unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We respectively reviwed all adult patients who underwent ECPR from January 2017 to March 2021. Patient characteristics, initiation and management of ECMO, complications, and outcomes were collected and compared between the survivors and nonsurvivors. LASSO regression was used to screen risk factors. Multivariate logistic regression was performed with several parameters screened by LASSO regression. RESULTS Data were reported from 42 ECMO centers covering 19 provinces of China. A total of 648 patients were included in the study, including 491 (75.8%) males. There were 11 ECPR centers in 2017, and the number increased to 42 in 2020. The number of patients received ECPR increased from 33 in 2017 to 274 in 2020, and the survival rate increased from 24.2% to 33.6%. Neurological complications, renal replacement therapy, epinephrine dosage after ECMO, recovery of spontaneous circulation before ECMO, lactate clearance and shockable rhythm were risk factors independently associated with outcomes of whole process. Sex, recovery of spontaneous circulation before ECMO, lactate, shockable rhythm and causes of arrest were pre-ECMO risk factors independently affecting outcomes. CONCLUSIONS From January 2017 to March 2021, the numbers of ECPR centers and cases in mainland China increased gradually over time, as well as the survival rate. Pre-ECMO risk factors, especially recovery of spontaneous circulation before ECMO, shockable rhythm and lactate, are as important as post-ECMO management,. Neurological complications are vital risk factors after ECMO that deserved close attention. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04158479, registered on 2019/11/08. https://clinicaltrials.gov/NCT04158479.

Abstract
The morbidity and mortality of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to presumed cardiac causes have remained unwaveringly high over the last few decades. Less than 10% of patients survive until hospital discharge. Treatment of OHCA patients has traditionally relied on expert opinions. However, there is growing evidence on managing OHCA patients favorably during the prehospital phase, coronary and intensive care, and even beyond hospital discharge. To improve outcomes in OHCA, experts have proposed the establishment of cardiac arrest centers (CACs) as pivotal elements. CACs are expert facilities that pool resources and staff, provide infrastructure, treatment pathways, and networks to deliver comprehensive and guideline-recommended post-cardiac arrest care, as well as promote research. This review aims to address knowledge gaps in the 2020 consensus on CACs of major European medical associations, considering novel evidence on critical issues in both pre- and in-hospital OHCA management, such as the timing of coronary angiography and the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR). The goal is to harmonize new evidence with the concept of CACs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Serial evaluations of lactate concentration may be more useful in predicting outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) than a single measurement. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of lactate clearance (LC) on clinical and neurologic outcomes in patients with OHCA who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). DESIGN Retrospective multicenter observational study. SETTING Patients with OHCA receiving ECPR at 36 hospitals in Japan between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2018. PATIENTS This study evaluated 1227 patients, with lactate initial assessed upon emergency department admission and lactate second measured subsequently. To adjust for the disparity in the time between lactate measurements, the modified 6-hour LC was defined as follows: ([lactate initial -lactate second ]/lactate initial ) × 100 × (6/the duration between the initial and second measurements [hr]). The patients were divided into four groups according to the modified 6-hour LC with an equivalent number of patients among LC quartiles: Q1 (LC < 18.8), Q2 (18.8 < LC < 59.9), Q3 (60.0 < LC < 101.2), and Q4 (101.2 < LC). INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The 30-day survival rates increased as the 6-hour LC increased (Q1, 21.2%; Q2, 36.8%; Q3, 41.4%; Q4, 53.6%; p for trend < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the modified 6-hour LC was significantly associated with a 30-day survival rate (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.003; 95% CI, 1.001-1.005; p < 0.001) and favorable neurologic outcome (AOR, 1.002; 95% CI, 1.000-1.004; p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS In patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR, an increase in the modified 6-hour LC was associated with favorable clinical and neurologic outcome. Thus, LC can be a criterion to assess whether ECPR should be continued.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Differences in outcomes by indication for venoarterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) are poorly described. We hypothesized that patients on VA-ECLS for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) have fewer complications and better survival than patients on VA-ECLS for other indications. METHODS All patients ≥18 years on VA-ECLS from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization global registry (2010-2019) were evaluated (n = 29,842). After excluding patients aged >79 years (n = 729) and those with incomplete indication data (n = 2530), patients were stratified by VA-ECLS indication for PE vs all other indications. The association between being discharged alive and each type of complication with VA-ECLS indication was assessed. RESULTS Of 26,583 patients included in the analysis, 978 (3.7%) were on VA-ECLS for a primary diagnosis of acute PE. Acute PE patients were younger (53.1 vs 56.7 years, P < .001) and were more likely to be women (52.1% vs 32.3%, P < .001). Patients who underwent VA-ECLS for acute PE were 78% more likely to be discharged alive vs patients supported with VA-ECLS for other reasons (52.8% vs 40.4%; P < .001). Acute PE patients had fewer cardiovascular and renal complications (26.6% vs 38.0% and 31.1% vs 39.4%, respectively; adjusted P < .001). Acute PE patients had higher odds of having clots and mechanical complications (8.7% vs 7.9% and 16.7% vs 14.6%, respectively; adjusted P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing VA-ECLS for acute PE have higher odds of survival to hospital discharge compared with those supported for other indications. Additionally, VA-ECLS in this population is associated with fewer cardiovascular and renal complications but higher mechanical complications.

EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR CARE 2024; 13:484-492.

Abstract
AIMS When out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) becomes refractory, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a potential option to restore circulation and improve the patient's outcome. However, ECPR requires specific materials and highly skilled personnel, and it is unclear whether increased survival and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) justify these costs. METHODS AND RESULTS This cost-effectiveness study was part of the INCEPTION study, a multi-centre, pragmatic randomized trial comparing hospital-based ECPR to conventional CPR (CCPR) in patients with refractory OHCA in 10 cardiosurgical centres in the Netherlands. We analysed healthcare costs in the first year and measured HRQOL using the EQ-5D-5L at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), cost-effectiveness planes, and acceptability curves were calculated. Sensitivity analyses were performed for per-protocol and as-treated subgroups as well as imputed productivity loss in deceased patients. In total, 132 patients were enrolled: 62 in the CCPR and 70 in the ECPR group. The difference in mean costs after 1 year was €5109 (95% confidence interval -7264 to 15 764). Mean quality-adjusted life year (QALY) after 1 year was 0.15 in the ECPR group and 0.11 in the CCPR group, resulting in an ICER of €121 643 per additional QALY gained. The acceptability curve shows that at a willingness-to-pay threshold of €80.000, the probability of ECPR being cost-effective compared with CCPR is 36%. Sensitivity analysis showed increasing ICER in the per-protocol and as-treated groups and lower probabilities of acceptance. CONCLUSION Hospital-based ECPR in refractory OHCA has a low probability of being cost-effective in a trial-based economic evaluation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To synthesize quantitative research findings on the prevalence and risk factors for in-hospital mortality of patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted for the period from May 2008 to December 2023 by searching the five electronic databases of PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane library. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. The meta-analysis estimated the pooled odds ratio or standard mean difference and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS A total of twenty-five studies with 10,409 patients were included in the analysis. The overall in-hospital mortality of patients on VA-ECMO was 56.7 %. In the subgroup analysis, in-hospital mortality of VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest was 49.2 % and 75.2 %, respectively. The number of significant factors associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality in the pre-ECMO period (age, body weight, creatinine, chronic kidney disease, pH, and lactic acid) was greater than that in the intra- and post-ECMO periods. Renal replacement, bleeding, and lower limb ischemia were the most significant risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients receiving VA-ECMO. CONCLUSION Early detection of the identified risk factors can contribute to reducing in-hospital mortality in patients on VA-ECMO. Intensive care unit nurses should provide timely and appropriate care before, during, and after VA-ECMO. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Intensive care unit nurses should be knowledgeable about factors associated with the in-hospital mortality of patients on VA-ECMO to improve outcomes. The present findings may contribute to developing guidelines for reducing in-hospital mortality among patients considering ECMO.

Mitochondrion 2024; 78:101924. [PMID: 38944369 DOI: 10.1016/j.mito.2024.101924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondria have emerged as a promising target for ischemic disease. A previous study reported the application of mitochondrial transplantation in focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, but it is unclear whether exogenous mitochondrial transplantation could be a therapeutic strategy for global ischemia/reperfusion injury induced by cardiac arrest. METHODS We hypothesized that transplantation of autologous mitochondria would rescue hippocampal cells and alleviate neurological impairment after cardiac arrest. In this study, we employed a rat cardiac arrest-global cerebral ischemia injury model (CA-GCII) and transplanted isolated mitochondria intravenously. Behavior test was applied to assess neurological deficit. Apoptosis and mitochondria permeability transition pore opening in hippocampus was determined using immunoblotting and swelling assay, respectively. RESULTS Transplanted mitochondria distributed throughout hippocampal cells and reduced oxidative stress. An improved neurological outcome was observed in rats receiving autologous mitochondria. In the hippocampus, mitophagy was enhanced while cell apoptosis was induced by ischemia/reperfusion insult was downregulated by mitochondrial transplantation. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening in surviving hippocampal cells was also suppressed. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that transplantation of autologous mitochondria rescued hippocampal cells from ischemia/reperfusion injury and ameliorated neurological impairment caused by cardiac arrest.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1404479. [PMID: 38994335 PMCID: PMC11238173 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1404479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The incidence of cardiac arrest (CA) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is relatively rare. However, when it does occur, the mortality rate is extremely high. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has shown promising survival rates for in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCA), with low-flow time being an independent prognostic factor for CA. However, there is no definitive answer on how to reduce low-flow time. Methods This retrospective study, conducted at a single center, included 39 patients who underwent ECPR during PCI between January 2016 and December 2022. The patients were divided into two cohorts based on whether standby extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was utilized during PCI: standby ECPR (SBE) (n = 13) and extemporaneous ECPR (EE) (n = 26). We compared the 30-day mortality rates between these two cohorts and investigated factors associated with survival. Results Compared to the EE cohort, the SBE cohort showed significantly lower low-flow time (P < 0.01), ECMO operation time (P < 0.01), and a lower incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) (P = 0.017), as well as peak lactate (P < 0.01). Stand-by ECMO was associated with improved 30-day survival (p = 0.036), while prolonged low-flow time (p = 0.004) and a higher SYNTAX II score (p = 0.062) predicted death at 30 days. Conclusions Standby ECMO can provide significant benefits for patients who undergo ECPR for CA during PCI. It is a viable option for high-risk PCI cases and may enhance the overall prognosis. The low-flow time remains a critical determinant of survival.

Door-to-Needle Time for Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Neurological Outcomes in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Nationwide Study. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e034971.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an option for refractory cardiac arrest, and immediate initiation after indication is recommended. However, the practical goals of ECPR preparation (such as the door-to-needle time) remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the association between the door-to-needle time and neurological outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a post hoc analysis of a nationwide multicenter study on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest treated with ECPR at 36 institutions between 2013 and 2018 (SAVE-J [Study of Advanced Cardiac Life Support for Ventricular Fibrillation with Extracorporeal Circulation in Japan] II study). Adult patients without hypothermia (≥32 °C) in whom circulation was not returned at ECPR initiation were included. The probability of favorable neurological function at 30 days (defined as Cerebral Performance Category ≤2) was estimated using a generalized estimating equations model, in which institutional, patient, and treatment characteristics were adjusted. Estimated probabilities were then calculated according to the door-to-needle time with 3-minute increments, and a clinical threshold was assumed. Among 1298 patients eligible for this study, 136 (10.6%) had favorable neurological function. The estimated probability of favorable outcomes was highest in patients with 1 to 3 minutes of door-to-needle time (12.9% [11.4%-14.3%]) and remained at 9% to 10% until 27 to 30 minutes. Then, the probability dropped gradually with each 3-minute delay. A 30-minute threshold was assumed, and shorter door-to-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation/low-flow time and fewer adverse events related to cannulation were observed in patients with door-to-needle time <30 minutes. CONCLUSIONS The probability of favorable functions after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest decreased as the door-to-needle time for ECPR was prolonged, with a rapid decline after 27 to 30 minutes.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to assess the association between gasping and survival among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods This prospective, multicenter, observational study was conducted between 2019 and 2021. We categorized adult patients requiring ECPR into those with or without gasping prior to hospital arrival. The primary outcome was the 30-day survival. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses fitted with generalized estimating equations and subgroup analyses based on the initial rhythm and age. Results Of the 9,909 patients with OHCA requiring ECPR, 332 were enrolled in the present study, including 92 (27.7%) and 240 (72.3%) with and without gasping, respectively. The 30-day survival was higher in patients with gasping than in those without gasping (35.9% [33/92] vs. 16.2% [39/240]). In the logistic regression analysis, gasping was significantly associated with improved 30-day survival (adjusted odds ratio: 3.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.64-5.51). Subgroup analyses demonstrated similar trends in patients with an initial non-shockable rhythm and older age. Conclusions Gasping was associated with improved survival in OHCA patients requiring ECPR, even those with an initial non-shockable rhythm and older age. Clinicians may select the candidates for ECPR appropriately based on the presence of gasping.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epinephrine is recommended without an apparent ceiling dosage during cardiac arrest. However, excessive alpha- and beta-adrenergic stimulation may contribute to unnecessarily high aortic afterload, promote post-arrest myocardial dysfunction, and result in cerebral microvascular insufficiency in patients receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of adults (≥ 18 years) who received ECPR at large academic ECMO center from 2018 to 2022. Patients were grouped based on the amount of epinephrine given during cardiac arrest into low (≤ 3 mg) and high (> 3 mg) groups. The primary endpoint was neurologic outcome at hospital discharge, defined by cerebral performance category (CPC). Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between cumulative epinephrine dosage during arrest and neurologic outcome. RESULTS Among 51 included ECPR cases, the median age of patients was 60 years, and 55% were male. The mean cumulative epinephrine dose administered during arrest was 6.2 mg but ranged from 0 to 24 mg. There were 18 patients in the low-dose (≤ 3 mg) and 25 patients in the high-dose (> 3 mg) epinephrine groups. Favorable neurologic outcome at discharge was significantly greater in the low-dose (55%) compared to the high-dose (24%) group (p = 0.025). After adjusting for age, those who received higher doses of epinephrine during the arrest were more likely to have unfavorable neurologic outcomes at hospital discharge (odds ratio 4.6, 95% CI 1.3, 18.0, p = 0.017). CONCLUSION After adjusting for age, cumulative epinephrine doses above 3 mg during cardiac arrest may be associated with unfavorable neurologic outcomes after ECPR and require further investigation.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of a novel extra corporeal cardiopulmonary (ECPR) program in the greater Stockholm area with focus on feasibility, safety aspects and clinical outcomes. Methods Prospective observational study of ECPR program including patients with OHCA from January 2020 to December 2022, fulfilling ECPR criteria: age 18-65 years, initial shockable rhythm or pulseless electrical activity, witnessed arrest, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and refractory arrest after three cycles of advance cardiac life support. The predefined time threshold from collapse to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiation was set at 60 min. Results We included 95 patients. Of these, 22/95 (23%) had return of spontaneous circulation before ECMO initiation, 39/95 (41%) were excluded for ECMO and 34/95 (36%) had ECMO initiated out of which 23 patients were admitted alive to the ICU. ECMO-initiation within 60 min was met in 9%. In 6 patients vascular access was complicated, 2 patients had severe bleeding at access site requiring intervention. Survival to discharge among all cases was 25% (24/95). Among patients admitted to ICU on ECMO 39% (9/23) survived to discharge, of these 78% had cerebral performance category scale score 1-2 within 12 months. 8 out of 9 survivors had time from OHCA to ECMO-initiation >60 min. Conclusion The implementation of an ECPR protocol was feasible without any major, unexpected safety aspects but did not meet the intended target time intervals. Despite this, survival rates were similar to previous studies although most survivors had >60 min to ECMO-initiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Comparing the effects of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) on outcomes in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in China. The benefits of ECPR over CCPR in patients with IHCA remain controversial. DESIGN This article analyzed data from the BASeline Investigation of In-hospital Cardiac Arrest (BASIC-IHCA) study, which consecutively enrolled patients with IHCA from July 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020. Patients who received ECPR were selected as the case group and matched with patients who received CCPR as the control group by propensity score at a ratio of 1:4. A parallel questionnaire survey of participating hospitals was conducted, to collect data on ECPR cases from January 1, 2021 to November 30, 2021. The primary outcome was survival to discharge or 30-day survival. SETTING We included 39 hospitals across 31 provinces in China. PATIENTS Patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation and without contraindications to ECPR were selected from the BASIC-IHCA database. Patients older than 75 years, not witnessed, or with cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration less than 10 min were excluded. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 4853 patients met the inclusion criteria before matching, with 34 undergoing ECPR (median age, 56.5 yr; 67.65% male) and 4819 underwent CCPR (median age, 59 yr; 64.52% male). There were 132 patients receiving CCPR and 33 patients receiving ECPR who were eventually matched. The ECPR group had significantly higher survival rates at discharge or 30-day survival (21.21% vs. 7.58%, p = 0.048). The ECPR group had significantly lower mortality rates (hazard ratio 0.57; 95% CI, 0.38-0.91) than the CCPR group at discharge or 30 days. Besides the BASIC-IHCA study, the volume of ECPR implementations and the survival rate of patients with ECPR (29.4% vs. 10.4%. p = 0.004) in participating hospitals significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS ECPR may be beneficial compared with CCPR for patient survival after IHCA and should be considered for eligible patients with IHCA.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal circulatory support, both for cardiogenic shock and during resuscitation, still presents many unanswered questions. The inclusion and exclusion criteria for such a resource-intensive treatment must be clearly defined, considering that these criteria are directly associated with the type and location of treatment. For example, it is worth questioning the viability of an extracorporeal resuscitation program in areas where it is impossible to achieve low-flow times under 60 min due to local limitations. Additionally, the best approach for further treatment, including whether it is necessary to regularly relieve the left ventricle, must be explored. To find answers to some of these questions, large-scale, multicenter, randomized studies and registers must be performed. Until then this treatment must be carefully considered before use.

Abstract
Nutritional risk is associated with intensive care unit (ICU) stay and mortality, the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and the modified Nutritional Risk in the Critically Ill (mNUTRIC) score are assessment instruments and useful in predicting the risk regarding mortality in ICU patients. Our aim was to assess the effects of mNUTRIC and NRS 2002 on mortality in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A retrospective cohort study was performed and 78 patients were included for final analysis. In the current study, the NRS 2002 and the mNUTRIC score within 24 hours before starting ECMO were applied to assess patients' nutritional status on ECMO and explore the relationship between nutritional status and patient outcomes. This study suggests that both mNUTRIC and NRS 2002 scores were found to be significant independent risk and prognostic factors for in-hospital and 90 day morality among ECMO patients based on multivariable logistic regression analysis ( p < 0.05), with those in the high-risk group having higher in-hospital and 90 day mortality rates than those identified as being at low risk ( p < 0.001). In comparison to the NRS 2002 score, the mNUTRIC score demonstrated a superior prognostic ability in ECMO patients.

Abstract
AIM Selecting the appropriate candidates for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is challenging. Previously, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) guidelines suggested the example of inclusion criteria. However, it is unclear whether patients who meet the inclusion criteria of the ELSO guidelines have more favorable outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the outcomes and select inclusion criteria of the ELSO guidelines. METHODS We conducted a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective study conducted between 2019 and 2021. Adult patients with OHCA treated with ECPR were included. The primary outcome was a favorable neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category of 1 or 2) at 30 days. An ELSO criteria score was assigned based on four criteria: (i) age < 70 years; (ii) witness; (iii) bystander CPR; and (iv) low-flow time (<60 min). Subgroup analysis based on initial cardiac rhythm was performed. RESULTS Among 9,909 patients, 227 with OHCA were included. The proportion of favorable neurological outcomes according to the number of ELSO criteria met were: 0.0% (0/3), 0 points; 0.0% (0/23), 1 point; 3.0% (2/67), 2 points; 7.3% (6/82), 3 points; and 16.3% (7/43), 4 points. A similar tendency was observed in patients with an initial shockable rhythm. However, no such relationship was observed in those with an initial non-shockable rhythm. CONCLUSION Patients who adhered more closely to specific inclusion criteria of the ELSO guidelines demonstrated a tendency towards a higher rate of favorable neurological outcomes. However, the relationship was heterogeneous according to initial rhythm.

Crit Care 2024; 28:160. [PMID: 38741176 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04949-5] [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: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on organ donation practices and recipient outcomes, particularly when comparing donors who experienced cardiac arrest and received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) followed by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) decannulation, versus those who experienced cardiac arrest without receiving ECPR. This study aims to explore organ donation practices and outcomes post-ECPR to enhance our understanding of the donation potential after cardiac arrest. METHODS We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study using data from the Japan Organ Transplant Network database, covering all deceased organ donors between July 17, 2010, and August 31, 2022. We included donors who experienced at least one episode of cardiac arrest. During the study period, patients undergoing ECMO treatment were not eligible for a legal diagnosis of brain death. We compared the timeframes associated with each donor's management and the long-term graft outcomes of recipients between ECPR and non-ECPR groups. RESULTS Among 370 brain death donors with an episode of cardiac arrest, 26 (7.0%) received ECPR and 344 (93.0%) did not; the majority were due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The median duration of veno-arterial ECMO support after ECPR was 3 days. Patients in the ECPR group had significantly longer intervals from admission to organ procurement compared to those not receiving ECPR (13 vs. 9 days, P = 0.005). Lung graft survival rates were significantly lower in the ECPR group (log-rank test P = 0.009), with no significant differences in other organ graft survival rates. Of 160 circulatory death donors with an episode of cardiac arrest, 27 (16.9%) received ECPR and 133 (83.1%) did not. Time intervals from admission to organ procurement following circulatory death and graft survival showed no significant differences between ECPR and non-ECPR groups. The number of organs donated was similar between the ECPR and non-ECPR groups, regardless of brain or circulatory death. CONCLUSIONS This nationwide study reveals that lung graft survival was lower in recipients from ECPR-treated donors, highlighting the need for targeted research and protocol adjustments in post-ECPR organ donation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized data evaluating the impact of the extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) approach on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are lacking. The objective of this follow-up study was to assess the long-term clinical outcomes of the ECPR-based versus CCPR approach. METHODS The Prague OHCA trial was a single-center, randomized, open-label trial. Patients with witnessed refractory OHCA of presumed cardiac origin, without return of spontaneous circulation, were randomized during ongoing resuscitation on scene to conventional CPR (CCPR) or an ECPR-based approach (intra-arrest transport, ECPR if ROSC is not achieved prehospital and immediate invasive assessment). RESULTS From March 2013 to October 2020, 264 patients were randomized during ongoing resuscitation on scene, and 256 patients were enrolled. Long-term follow-up was performed 5.3 (interquartile range 3.8-7.2) years after initial randomization and was completed in 255 of 256 patients (99.6%). In total, 34/123 (27.6%) patients in the ECPR-based group and 26/132 (19.7%) in the CCPR group were alive (log-rank P = 0.01). There were no significant differences between the treatment groups in the neurological outcome, survival after hospital discharge, risk of hospitalization, major cardiovascular events and quality of life. Of long-term survivors, 1/34 (2.9%) in the ECPR-based arm and 1/26 (3.8%) in the CCPR arm had poor neurological outcome (both patients had a cerebral performance category score of 3). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with refractory OHCA, the ECPR-based approach significantly improved long-term survival. There were no differences in the neurological outcome, major cardiovascular events and quality of life between the groups, but the trial was possibly underpowered to detect a clinically relevant difference in these outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A better understanding of the relative contributions of various factors to patient outcomes is essential for optimal patient selection for extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) therapy for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, evidence on the prognostic comparison based on the etiologies of cardiac arrest is limited. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the etiology-based prognosis of patients undergoing ECPR for OHCA? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective multicenter registry study involved 36 institutions in Japan and included all adult patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR between January 2013 and December 2018. The primary etiology for OHCA was determined retrospectively from all hospital-based data at each institution. We performed a multivariable logistic regression model to determine the association between etiology of cardiac arrest and two outcomes: favorable neurologic outcome and survival at hospital discharge. RESULTS We identified 1,781 eligible patients, of whom 1,405 (78.9%) had cardiac arrest because of cardiac causes. Multivariable logistic regression analysis for favorable neurologic outcome showed that accidental hypothermia (adjusted OR, 5.12; 95% CI, 2.98-8.80; P < .001) was associated with a significantly higher rate of favorable neurologic outcome than cardiac causes. Multivariable logistic regression analysis for survival showed that accidental hypothermia (adjusted OR, 5.19; 95% CI, 3.15-8.56; P < .001) had significantly higher rates of survival than cardiac causes. Acute aortic dissection/aneurysm (adjusted OR, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.02-0.28; P < .001) and primary cerebral disorders (adjusted OR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.03-0.50; P = .004) had significantly lower rates of survival than cardiac causes. INTERPRETATION In this retrospective multicenter cohort study, although most patients with OHCA underwent ECPR for cardiac causes, accidental hypothermia was associated with favorable neurologic outcome and survival; in contrast, acute aortic dissection/aneurysm and primary cerebral disorders were associated with nonsurvival compared with cardiac causes.

Association between pupillary examinations and prognosis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a retrospective multicentre cohort study. Ann Intensive Care 2024; 14:35. [PMID: 38448746 PMCID: PMC10917711 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-024-01265-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In some cases of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), negative pupillary light reflex (PLR) and mydriasis upon hospital arrival serve as common early indicator of poor prognosis. However, in certain patients with poor prognoses inferred by pupil findings upon hospital arrival, pupillary findings improve before and after the establishment of ECPR. The association between these changes in pupillary findings and prognosis remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the association of pupillary examinations before and after the establishment of ECPR in patients with OHCA showing poor pupillary findings upon hospital arrival with their outcomes. To this end, we analysed retrospective multicentre registry data involving 36 institutions in Japan, including all adult patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR between January 2013 and December 2018. We selected patients with poor prognosis inferred by pupillary examinations, negative pupillary light reflex (PLR) and pupil mydriasis, upon hospital arrival. The primary outcome was favourable neurological outcome, defined as Cerebral Performance Category 1 or 2 at hospital discharge. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between favourable neurological outcome and pupillary examination after establishing ECPR. RESULTS Out of the 2,157 patients enrolled in the SAVE-J II study, 723 were analysed. Among the patients analysed, 74 (10.2%) demonstrated favourable neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Multivariable analysis revealed that a positive PLR at ICU admission (odds ration [OR] = 11.3, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 5.17-24.7) was significantly associated with favourable neurological outcome. However, normal pupil diameter at ICU admission (OR = 1.10, 95%CI = 0.52-2.32) was not significantly associated with favourable neurological outcome. CONCLUSION Among the patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR and showed poor pupillary examination findings upon hospital arrival, 10.2% had favourable neurological outcome at hospital discharge. A positive PLR after the establishment of ECPR was significantly associated with favourable neurological outcome.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the factors associated with favourable neurological outcomes in adult patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods This retrospective observational study used secondary analysis of the SAVE-J II multicentre registry data from 36 institutions in Japan. Between 2013 and 2018, 2157 patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR were enrolled in SAVE-J II. A total of 1823 patients met the study inclusion criteria. Adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) with OHCA, who underwent ECPR before admission to the intensive care unit, were included in our secondary analysis. The primary outcome was a favourable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, defined as a Cerebral Performance Category score of 1 or 2. We used a multivariate logistic regression model to examine the association between factors measured at the incident scene or upon hospital arrival and favourable neurological outcomes. Results Multivariable analysis revealed that shockable rhythm at the scene [odds ratio (OR); 2.11; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.16-3.95] and upon hospital arrival (OR 2.59; 95% CI 1.60-4.30), bystander CPR (OR 1.63; 95% CI 1.03-1.88), body movement during resuscitation (OR 7.10; 95% CI 1.79-32.90), gasping (OR 4.33; 95% CI 2.57-7.28), pupillary reflex on arrival (OR 2.93; 95% CI 1.73-4.95), and male sex (OR 0.43; 95% CI 0.24-0.75) significantly correlated with neurological outcomes. Conclusions Shockable rhythm, bystander CPR, body movement during resuscitation, gasping, pupillary reflex, and sex were associated with favourable neurological outcomes in patients with OHCA treated with ECPR.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasingly employed in the emergency department for patients with a potentially reversible cause of cardiac arrest. We present the case of a young female patient with an in-hospital cardiac arrest who was found to have severe right heart strain on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), suggesting a massive pulmonary embolism. Rapid bedside diagnosis using ultrasound expedited bedside cannulation and initiation of ECMO as a bridge to surgical thrombectomy, and ultimately the patient survived with full neurologic function. With its ready availability and increasing acceptance by consultants, POCUS should be incorporated into cardiac arrest algorithms as the standard of care to rule in thrombotic and obstructive causes of cardiac arrest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Determining whether to pursue or terminate resuscitation efforts remains one of the biggest challenges of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). No ideal cut-off duration has been recommended and the association between CPR duration and survival is still unclear for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The aim of this study was to assess the association between CPR duration and 30-day survival after OHCA with favorable neurological outcomes according to initial rhythm. METHODS This was an observational, retrospective analysis of the French national multicentric registry on cardiac arrest, RéAC. The primary endpoint was neurologically intact 30-day survival according to initial rhythm. RESULTS 20,628 patients were included. For non-shockable rhythms, the dynamic probability of 30-day survival with a Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) of 1 or 2 was less than 1% after 25 min of CPR. CPR duration over 10 min was not associated with 30-day survival with CPC of 1 or 2 (adjusted OR: 1.67; CI 95% 0.95-2.94). For shockable rhythms, the dynamic probability of 30-day survival with a CPC score of 1 or 2, was less than 1% after 54 min of CPR. CPR duration of 21-25 min was still associated with 30-day survival and 30-day survival with a CPC of 1 or 2 (adjusted OR: 2.77; CI 95% 2.16-3.57 and adjusted OR: 1.82; CI 95% 1.06-3.13, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Survival decreased rapidly with increasing CPR duration, especially for non-shockable rhythms. Pursuing CPR after 25 min may be futile for patients presenting a non-shockable rhythm. On the other hand, shockable rhythms might benefit from prolonged CPR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is the implementation of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) during refractory cardiac arrest. The role of left-ventricular (LV) unloading with Impella in addition to VA-ECMO ("ECMELLA") remains unclear during ECPR. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to characterize patients with ECPR receiving LV unloading and to compare in-hospital mortality between ECMELLA and VA-ECMO during ECPR. DATA SOURCES Medline, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, and abstract websites of the three largest cardiology societies (American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and European Society of Cardiology). STUDY SELECTION Observational studies with adult patients with refractory cardiac arrest receiving ECPR with ECMELLA or VA-ECMO until July 2023 according to the Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis checklist. DATA EXTRACTION Patient and treatment characteristics and in-hospital mortality from 13 study records at 32 hospitals with a total of 1014 ECPR patients. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CI were computed with the Mantel-Haenszel test using a random-effects model. DATA SYNTHESIS Seven hundred sixty-two patients (75.1%) received VA-ECMO and 252 (24.9%) ECMELLA. Compared with VA-ECMO, the ECMELLA group was comprised of more patients with initial shockable electrocardiogram rhythms (58.6% vs. 49.3%), acute myocardial infarctions (79.7% vs. 51.5%), and percutaneous coronary interventions (79.0% vs. 47.5%). VA-ECMO alone was more frequently used in pulmonary embolism (9.5% vs. 0.7%). Age, rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and low-flow times were similar between both groups. ECMELLA support was associated with reduced odds of mortality (OR, 0.53 [95% CI, 0.30-0.91]) and higher odds of good neurologic outcome (OR, 2.22 [95% CI, 1.17-4.22]) compared with VA-ECMO support alone. ECMELLA therapy was associated with numerically increased but not significantly higher complication rates. Primary results remained robust in multiple sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS ECMELLA support was predominantly used in patients with acute myocardial infarction and VA-ECMO for pulmonary embolism. ECMELLA support during ECPR might be associated with improved survival and neurologic outcome despite higher complication rates. However, indications and frequency of ECMELLA support varied strongly between institutions. Further scientific evidence is urgently required to elaborate standardized guidelines for the use of LV unloading during ECPR.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether targeted temperature management (TTM) could enhance outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for refractory cardiac arrest. Using a nationwide OHCA registry, adult patients with witnessed OHCA of presumed cardiac origin who underwent ECPR at the emergency department between 2008 and 2021 were included. We examined the effect of ECPR with TTM on survival and neurological outcomes at hospital discharge using propensity score matching and multivariable logistic regression compared with patients treated with ECPR without TTM. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were determined. A total of 399 ECPR cases were analyzed among 380,239 patients with OHCA. Of these, 330 underwent ECPR without TTM and 69 with TTM. After propensity score matching, 69 matched pairs of patients were included in the analysis. No significant differences in survival and good neurological outcomes between the two groups were observed. In the multivariable logistic regression, no significant differences were observed in survival and neurological outcomes between ECPR with and without TTM. Among the patients who underwent ECPR after OHCA, ECPR with TTM did not improve outcomes compared with ECPR without TTM.

Implementation of Extracorporeal CPR Programs for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Another Tale of Two County Hospitals. Ann Emerg Med 2024:S0196-0644(24)00005-2. [PMID: 38323952 DOI: 10.1016/j.annemergmed.2024.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a form of intensive life support that has seen increasing use globally to improve outcomes for patients who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Hospitals with advanced critical care capabilities may be interested in launching an ECPR program to offer this support to the patients they serve; however, to do so, they must first consider the significant investment of resources necessary to start and sustain the program. The existing literature describes many single-center ECPR programs and often focuses on inpatient care and patient outcomes in hospitals with cardiac surgery capabilities. However, building a successful ECPR program and using this technology to support an individual patient experiencing refractory cardiac arrest secondary to a shockable rhythm depends on efficient out-of-hospital and emergency department (ED) management. This article describes the process of implementing 2 intensivist-led ECPR programs with limited cardiac surgery capability. We focus on emergency medical services and ED clinician roles in identifying patients, mobilizing resources, initiation and management of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the ED, and ongoing efforts to improve ECPR program quality. Each center experienced a significant learning curve to reach goals of arrest-to-flow times of cannulation for ECPR. Building consensus from multidisciplinary stakeholders, including out-of-hospital stakeholders; establishing shared expectations of ECPR outcomes; and ensuring adequate resource support for ECPR activation were all key lessons in improving our ECPR programs.

Abstract
Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) using venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is performed for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; however, it is associated with a risk of several complications. Objective To investigate whether the fluoroscopy equipment was removed from the emergency department (ED) and whether it would be beneficial to transport the patient to the fluoroscopy room to reduce vascular complications without affecting the induction time. Methods This single-center, retrospective, before-and-after analysis was conducted at a tertiary emergency medical center and included 59 patients who underwent ECPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between May 2017 and March 2022. The patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent cannulation in the ED without fluoroscopy (ED-ECPR group) and those who were transferred directly from the ED to the cardiac angiography room (ECPR call group). Results The rate of vascular complications associated with ECPR was significantly lower in the ECPR group than in the ED-ECPR group (40.6 % [14/32] vs. 10 % [2/20], respectively; p = 0.014). The duration from ED arrival to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation initiation was similar in the two groups (median: 23.0 min in the ED-ECPR group vs. 25.5 min in the ECPR call group, p = 0.71). Results adjusted for confounding factors showed that performing ECPR under fluoroscopy was a consistent and independent element of vascular complication rates (adjusted odds ratio: 9.92, 95 % confidence interval: 2.04 to 81.2, p = 0.011). Conclusions Fluoroscopy-guided ECPR can significantly reduce the incidence of vascular complications even if the ED and fluoroscopy room are far apart. However, no significant difference was observed in the time required to establish ECPR in the cardiac catheterization laboratories.

Abstract
Objective In this paper, we present a comprehensive overview of our experience in establishing and leading distinct extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)-related teams to independently handle ECPR in the early stages in the emergency department. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 29 patients who underwent ECPR treatment in the emergency room between May 2018 and April 2022. A control group, consisting of 10 patients treated between May 2018 and September 2019 was managed using a standard rescue coordination mode. The 19 patients who received ECPR between October 2019 and April 2022 were treated by members of the department's 24-h extracorporeal life support team. We compared the implementation and operational challenges faced by the two groups, including item preparation, circuit setup, and ECPR initiation times, among other factors. Results Gender, age, cardiac arrest risk factors, and other baseline data did not significantly differ between the two groups. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) pipeline prefilling time (from 35.27±10.34 to 13.46±5.32), ECPR establishment time (from 62.35±29.61 to 30.98±13.41), and item preparation time (from 16.42±9.78 to 3.19±1.49) all considerably decreased when compared to the control group. The rate of return of spontaneous circulation recovery rose from 37.50 % to 77.78 % (P < 0.05). The consequences of gastrointestinal and pulmonary bleeding were greatly reduced while ECPR was being used, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Significant improvements were made in the ECPR weaning rate (from 25.00 % to 38.89 %) and survival rate (from 20.0 % to 36.8 %). Conclusion The establishment of a 24-h extracorporeal life support team significantly reduced the time needed for rescue during the early stage of independent setup of ECPR in the emergency department and serves as a guide for effective care of critically ill patients.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in patients with prolonged or refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is likely to be beneficial when used as part of a well developed emergency service system. ECPR is technically challenging to initiate and resource-intensive, but it has been found to be cost-effective in hospital-based ECPR programs. ECPR expansion within Australia has thus far been reactive and does not provide broad coverage or equity of access for patients. Newer delivery strategies that improve access to ECPR for patients with OHCA are being trialled, including networked hospital-based ECPR and pre-hospital ECPR programs. The efficacy, scalability, sustainability and cost-effectiveness of these programs need to be assessed. There is a need for national collaboration to determine the most cost-effective delivery strategies for ECPR provision along with its place in the OHCA survival chain.

Prognostic influence of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation on survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest undergoing ECPR on VA-ECMO. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 10:1266189.

Abstract
Introduction The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in selected patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an established method if return of spontaneous circulation cannot be achieved. Automated chest compression devices (ACCD) facilitate transportation of patients under ongoing CPR and might improve outcome. We thus sought to evaluate prognostic influence of mechanical CPR using ACCD in patients presenting with OHCA treated with ECPR including VA-ECMO. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data of 171 consecutive patients treated for OHCA using ECPR in our cardiac arrest center from the years 2016 to 2022. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify characteristics related with survival. Results Of the 171 analyzed patients (84% male, mean age 56 years), 12% survived the initial hospitalization with favorable neurological outcome. The primary reason for OHCA was an acute coronary event (72%) followed by primary arrhythmia (9%) and non-ischemic cardiogenic shock (6.7%). In most cases, the collapse was witnessed (83%) and bystander CPR was performed (83%). The median time from collapse to VA-ECMO was 81 min (Q1: 69 min, Q3: 98 min). No survival benefit was seen for patients resuscitated using ACCD. Patients in whom an ACCD was used presented with overall longer times from collapse to ECMO than those who were resuscitated manually [83 min (Q1: 70 min, Q3: 98 min) vs. 69 min (Q1: 57 min, Q3: 84 min), p = 0.004]. Conclusion No overall survival benefit of the use of ACCD before ECPR is established was found, possibly due to longer overall CPR duration. This may arguably be because of the limited availability of ACCD in pre-clinical paramedic service at the time of observation. Increasing the availability of these devices might thus improve treatment of OHCA, presumably by providing efficient CPR during transportation and transfer.

Abstract
Patients in the UK who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are treated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the pre-hospital environment. Current survival outcomes are low in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a technique which is offered to patients in specialised centres which provides better blood flow and oxygen delivery than conventional chest compressions. Shortening the interval between cardiac arrest and restoration of circulation is associated with improved outcomes in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Delivering extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the pre-hospital environment can shorten this interval, improving outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This article will review recently published studies and summarise studies currently being undertaken in pre-hospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It will also discuss the potential application of a pre-hospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation programme in the North East of England.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk stratification is important in patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome. The Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome for Therapeutic Hypothermia (CAST) and revised CAST (rCAST) scores have been well validated for predicting neurological outcomes, particularly for conventionally resuscitated patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome. However, no studies have evaluated patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODS AND RESULTS Adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation were analyzed in this retrospective observational multicenter cohort study. We validated the accuracy of the CAST/rCAST scores for predicting neurological outcomes at 30 days. Moreover, we compared the predictive performance of these scores with the TiPS65 risk score derived from patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who were resuscitated using extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A total of 1135 patients were analyzed. The proportion of patients with favorable neurological outcomes was 16.6%. In the external validation, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the CAST score was significantly higher than that of the rCAST score (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.677 versus 0.603; P<0.001), but there was no significant difference with that of the TiPS65 score (versus 0.633; P=0.154). Both CAST/rCAST risk scores showed good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test: P=0.726 and 0.674), and the CAST score showed significantly better predictability in net reclassification compared with the rCAST (P<0.001) and TiPS65 scores (P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS The prognostic accuracy of the CAST score was significantly better than that of other risk scores in net reclassification. The CAST score may help to predict neurological outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who undergo extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, the predictive value of the CAST score was not sufficiently high for clinical application.

Abstract
Traditionally, patients with obesity have been deemed ineligible for extracorporeal life support (ELS) therapies such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), given the association of obesity with chronic health conditions that contribute to increased morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, a growing body of literature suggests the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of ECMO in the obese population. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the current literature assessing the effects of obesity on outcomes among patients supported with ECMO (venovenous [VV] ECMO in noncoronavirus disease 2019 and coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory distress syndrome, venoarterial [VA] ECMO, and combined VV and VA ECMO), offer a possible explanation of the current findings on the basis of the obesity paradox phenomenon, provides a framework for future studies addressing the use of ELS therapies in the obese patient population, and provides guidance from the literature for many of the challenges related to initiating, maintaining, and weaning ELS therapy in patients with obesity.
