Abstract
We aimed to determine prognostic indicators of PE patients with hemodynamic decompensation admitted to the ICU. PE patients with hemodynamic decompensation at ICU admission from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database were included. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator with 2 specific lambdas were performed to reduce the dimension of variables after univariate analysis. Then we conducted multivariate logistic regression analysis and 2 models were built. A total of 548 patients were included, among whom 187 died. Lactate, creatine-kinase MB, troponin-T were significantly higher in death group. Eight common factors were screened out from first model statistically mostly in consistent with second model: older age, decreased hemoglobin, elevated anion gap, elevated International Standard Ratio (INR), elevated respiratory rate, decreased temperature, decreased blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and the onset of cardiac arrest were significantly risk factors for in-Hospital mortality. The nonlinear relationships between these indicators and mortality were showed by the restricted cubic spline and cutoff values were determined. Our study demonstrated that age, hemoglobin levels, anion gap levels, INR, respiratory rate, temperature, SpO2 levels, the onset of cardiac arrest could be applied to predict mortality of PE patients with hemodynamic decompensation at ICU admission.

Ochiai K, Otomo Y. Factors influencing deviation from target temperature during targeted temperature management in postcardiac arrest patients. Open Heart 2023; 10:e002459. [PMID: 38101858 PMCID: PMC10729178 DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2023-002459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted temperature management (TTM) is a recommended therapy for postcardiac arrest patients. Hyperthermia worsened the patient outcome, and overcooling increased the incidence of complications; therefore, a high-quality TTM is required. The target temperature tended to be modified worldwide after the TTM trial in 2013. Our institute modified the target temperature to 35°C in 2017. This study aimed to compare the conventional and modified protocols, assess the relationship between target temperature deviation and patient outcomes, and identify the factors influencing temperature deviation. METHODS This single-centre, retrospective, observational study included adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients who underwent TTM between April 2013 and October 2019. We compared the conventional and modified protocol groups to evaluate the difference in the background characteristics and details on TTM. Subsequently, we assessed the relationship of deviation (>±0.5°C, >37°C, or<33°C) rates from the target temperature with mortality and neurological outcomes. We assessed the factors that influenced the deviation from the target temperature. RESULTS Temperature deviation was frequently observed in the conventional protocol group (p=0.012), and the modified protocol group required higher doses of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) during TTM (p=0.016). Other background data, completion of protocol, incidence of complications, mortality and rate of favourable neurological outcomes were not significantly different. The performance rate of TTM was significantly higher in the modified group than in the conventional protocol group (p<0.001). Temperature deviation did not have an impact on the outcomes. Age, sex, body surface area, NMBA doses and type of cooling device were the factors influencing temperature deviation. CONCLUSIONS A target temperature of 35°C might be acceptable and easily attainable if shivering of the patients was well controlled using NMBAs. Temperature deviation did not have an impact on outcomes. The identified factors influencing deviation from target temperature might be useful for ensuring a high-quality TTM.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)-veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for refractory cardiac arrest-has grown rapidly, but its widespread adoption has been limited by frequent neurologic complications. With individual centers developing best practices, utilization may be increasing with an uncertain effect on outcomes. This study describes the recent ECPR experience at the University of Maryland Medical Center from 2016 through 2018, with attention to neurologic outcomes and predictors thereof. The primary outcome was dichotomized Cerebral Performance Category (≤2) at hospital discharge; secondary outcomes included rates of specific neurologic complications. From 429 ECMO runs over 3 years, 57 ECPR patients were identified, representing an increase in ECPR utilization compared with 41 cases over the previous 6 years. Fifty-two (91%) suffered in-hospital cardiac arrest, and 36 (63%) had an initial nonshockable rhythm. Median low-flow time was 31 minutes. Overall, 26 (46%) survived hospitalization and 23 (88% of survivors, 40% overall) had a favorable discharge outcome. Factors independently associated with good neurologic outcome included lower peak lactate, initial shockable rhythm, and higher initial ECMO mean arterial pressure. Neurologic complications occurred in 18 patients (32%), including brain death in 6 (11%), hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in 11 (19%), ischemic stroke in 6 (11%), intracerebral hemorrhage in 1 (2%), and seizure in 4 (7%). We conclude that good neurologic outcomes are possible for well-selected ECPR patients in a high-volume program with increasing utilization and evolving practices. Markers of adequate peri-resuscitation tissue perfusion were associated with better outcomes, suggesting their importance in neuroprognostication.

Hospital length of stay, do not resuscitate orders, and survival for post-cardiac arrest patients in Michigan: A study for the CARES Surveillance Group. Resuscitation 2021; 165:119-126. [PMID: 34166745 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.05.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current guidelines recommend deferring prognostic decisions for at least 72 h following admission after Out of Hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Most non-survivors experience withdrawal of life sustaining therapy (WLST), and early WLST may adversely impact survival. We sought to characterize the hospital length of stay (LOS) and timing of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders (as surrogates for WLST), to assess their relationship to survival following cardiac arrest. DESIGN We performed a retrospective cohort study of probabilistically linked cardiac arrest registries (Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) and Michigan Inpatient Database (MIDB) from 2014 to 2017. PATIENTS Adult (≥18 years) patients admitted following OHCA were included. We considered LOS ≤ 3 days (short LOS) and written DNR order with LOS ≤ 3 days (Early DNR) as indicators of early WLST. Our primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. We utilized multilevel logistic regression clustered by hospital to examine associations of these variables, patient characteristics and survival to hospital discharge. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS We included 3644 patients from 38 hospitals with >30 patients. Patients mean age was 62.4 years and were predominately male (59.3%). LOS ≤ 3 days (ORadj = 0.11) and early DNR (ORadj = 0.02) were inversely associated with survival to discharge. There was a non-significant inverse association between hospital rates of LOS ≤ 3 days and survival (p = 0.11), and Early DNR and survival (p = 0.83). In the multilevel model, using median odd ratios to assess variation in LOS ≤ 3 days and survival, patient characteristics contributed more to variability in surviival than between-hospital variation. However, between-hospital variation contributed more to variability than patient characteristics in the provision of early DNR orders. CONCLUSIONS We observed that LOS ≤ 3 days for post-arrest patients was negatively-associated with survival, with both patient characteristics and between-hospital variation associated with outcomes. However, between-hospital variation appears to be more highly-associated with provision of early DNR orders than patient characteristics. Further work is needed to assess variation in early DNR orders and their impact on patient survival.

Abstract
Maintaining strict temperature control during the maintenance phase of targeted temperature management (TTM) after cardiac arrest may be an important component of clinical care. Temperature variability outside of the goal temperature range may lessen the benefit of TTM and worsen neurologic outcomes. The purpose of this retrospective study of 186 adult patients (70.4% males, mean age 53.8 ± 15.7 years) was to investigate the relationship between body temperature variability (at least one body temperature measurement outside of 36°C ± 0.5°C) during the maintenance phase of TTM at 36°C after cardiac arrest and neurologic outcome at hospital discharge. Patients with temperature variability (n = 124 [66.7%]) did not have significantly higher odds of poor neurologic outcome compared with those with no temperature variability (odds ratio [OR] = 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.36-2.82). Use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) and having an initial shockable rhythm were associated with both higher odds of good neurologic outcome (shockable rhythm: OR = 10.77, 95% CI = 4.30-26.98; NMBA use: OR = 4.54, 95% CI = 1.34-15.40) and survival to hospital discharge (shockable rhythm: OR = 5.90, 95% CI = 2.65-13.13; NMBA use: OR = 3.03, 95% CI = 1.16-7.90). In this cohort of postcardiac arrest comatose survivors undergoing TTM at 36°C, having temperature variability during maintenance phase did not significantly impact neurologic outcome or survival.

Abstract
Intracranial hypertension (IH) is a clinical condition commonly encountered in the intensive care unit, which requires immediate treatment. The maintenance of normal intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure in order to prevent secondary brain injury (SBI) is the central focus of management. SBI can be detected through clinical examination and invasive and non-invasive ICP monitoring. Progress in monitoring and understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of IH allows the implementation of targeted interventions in order to improve the outcome of these patients. Initially, general prophylactic measures such as patient's head elevation, fever control, adequate analgesia and sedation depth should be applied immediately to all patients with suspected IH. Based on specific indications and conditions, surgical resection of mass lesions and cerebrospinal fluid drainage should be considered as an initial treatment for lowering ICP. Hyperosmolar therapy (mannitol or hypertonic saline) represents the cornerstone of medical treatment of acute IH while hyperventilation should be limited to emergency management of life-threatening raised ICP. Therapeutic hypothermia could have a possible benefit on outcome. To control elevated ICP refractory to maximum standard medical and surgical treatment, at first, high-dose barbiturate administration and then decompressive craniectomy as a last step are recommended with unclear and probable benefit on outcomes, respectively. The therapeutic strategy should be based on a staircase approach and be individualized for each patient. Since most therapeutic interventions have an uncertain effect on neurological outcome and mortality, future research should focus on both studying the long-term benefits of current strategies and developing new ones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the cerebral protective effects of mild hypothermia (MH) on cerebral microcirculation. METHODS We established ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and MH treatment models with rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (RBMECs) in vitro and examined the apoptotic changes. The cultured RBMECs were randomly divided into the control group, I/R group, and MH group, which was further divided into two subgroups: intra-ischemia hypothermia (IIH) and post-ischemia hypothermia (PIH). Cell morphological changes were assessed using fluorescence microscopy. Apoptotic rates were obtained by flow cytometry. Expressions of caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl-2 were analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS I/R injury in vitro induced apoptosis of RBMECs. The apoptotic rates in the control group, I/R group, and MH group were 0.13, 19.04, and 13.13%, respectively (P < 0.01). Compared with the I/R group, the MH group showed a significant decrease in the number of apoptotic cells, mainly in stage I apoptotic cells (P < 0.0083). The caspase-3 and Bax expressions were significantly enhanced (P < 0.05) in RBMECs after I/R injury, while substantial decreases in Bcl-2 expression were noted (P < 0.05). Following MH intervention, the increase in caspase-3 and Bax expression was suppressed (P < 0.05), while Bcl-2 expression significantly increased. The apoptotic rates or protein expressions between the two subgroups were not different significantly (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that MH could inhibit RBMEC apoptosis by preventing pro-apoptotic cells and early apoptotic cells from progressing to intermediate and advanced stages. This may be due to the effect of MH on I/R-induced apoptotic gene expression changes.

Abstract
The burden of neurologic disease in the United States continues to increase due to a growing older population, increased life expectancy, and improved mortality after cancer and cardiac disease. Emergency medical services (EMS) providers are responding to more patients with stroke, traumatic neurologic injury, neuromuscular weakness, seizure, and spontaneous cardiac arrest. Efficient prehospital care and triage to facilities with specialized services improve outcomes. Effective handoff from EMS to an emergency department ensures continuity of care and patient safety. Although advancements in prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation have increased rates of return to spontaneous circulation, a large proportion of patients sustain neurologic injury.
