Critical Care Management of Patients After Cardiac Arrest: A Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association and Neurocritical Care Society. Neurocrit Care 2024; 40:1-37. [PMID: 38040992 PMCID: PMC10861627 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-023-01871-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
The critical care management of patients after cardiac arrest is burdened by a lack of high-quality clinical studies and the resultant lack of high-certainty evidence. This results in limited practice guideline recommendations, which may lead to uncertainty and variability in management. Critical care management is crucial in patients after cardiac arrest and affects outcome. Although guidelines address some relevant topics (including temperature control and neurological prognostication of comatose survivors, 2 topics for which there are more robust clinical studies), many important subject areas have limited or nonexistent clinical studies, leading to the absence of guidelines or low-certainty evidence. The American Heart Association Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee and the Neurocritical Care Society collaborated to address this gap by organizing an expert consensus panel and conference. Twenty-four experienced practitioners (including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and a respiratory therapist) from multiple medical specialties, levels, institutions, and countries made up the panel. Topics were identified and prioritized by the panel and arranged by organ system to facilitate discussion, debate, and consensus building. Statements related to postarrest management were generated, and 80% agreement was required to approve a statement. Voting was anonymous and web based. Topics addressed include neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, hematological, infectious, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and general critical care management. Areas of uncertainty, areas for which no consensus was reached, and future research directions are also included. Until high-quality studies that inform practice guidelines in these areas are available, the expert panel consensus statements that are provided can advise clinicians on the critical care management of patients after cardiac arrest.

Abstract
About 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are related to an ischaemic heart disease in Western countries. Percutaneous coronary intervention has been shown to improve the prognosis of survivors when an unstable coronary lesion is identified as the potential cause of the cardiac arrest. Acute complete coronary occlusion is often demonstrated among patients with ST-segment elevation on electrocardiogram after the return of spontaneous circulation. In patients without ST-segment elevation, routine coronary angiography has been shown to be not superior to conservative management. However, an electrocardiogram-based decision to perform immediate coronary angiography could be insufficient to identify unstable coronary lesions, which are frequently associated with intermediate coronary stenosis. Intracoronary imaging can be helpful to detect plaque rupture or erosion and intracoronary thrombus, but could also lead to better stent implantation, and help to reduce the risk of stent thrombosis. In patients with coronary lesions without the instability characteristic, conservative management should be the default strategy, and a search for another cause of the cardiac arrest should be systematic. In the present review, we sought to describe the potential benefit of intracoronary imaging in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Determinants of Undertaking Coronary Angiography and Adverse Prognostic Predictors Among Patients Presenting With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and a Shockable Rhythm. Am J Cardiol 2022; 171:75-83. [PMID: 35296378 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2022.01.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Characteristics of patients presenting with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) selected for coronary angiography (CA) and factors predicting in-hospital mortality remain unclear. We assessed clinical characteristics associated with undertaking CA in patients presenting with OHCA and shockable rhythm (CA group). Predictors of in-hospital mortality were evaluated with multivariable analysis. Of 1,552 patients presenting with cardiac arrest between 2014 and 2018 to 2 health services in Victoria, Australia, 213 patients with OHCA and shockable rhythm were stratified according to CA status. The CA group had shorter cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration (17 vs 25 minutes) and time to return of spontaneous circulation (17 vs 26 minutes) but higher proportion of ST-elevation on electrocardiogram (48% vs 24%) (all p <0.01). In-hospital mortality was 38% (n = 81) for the overall cohort, 32% (n = 54) in the CA group, and 61% (n = 27) in the no-CA group. Predictors of in-hospital mortality included non-selection for CA (odds ratio 4.5, 95% confidence interval 1.5 to 14), adrenaline support (3.9, 1.3 to 12), arrest at home (2.7, 1.1 to 6.6), longer time to defibrillation (2.5, 1.5 to 4.2 per 5-minute increase), lower blood pH (2.1, 1.4 to 3.2 per 0.1 decrease), lower albumin (2.0, 1.2 to 3.3 per 5 g/L decrease), higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (1.7, 1.0 to 3.0 per 5-point increase), and advanced age (1.4, 1.0 to 2.0 per 10-year increase) (all p ≤0.05). In conclusion, non-selection for CA, concomitant cardiogenic shock requiring inotropic support, poor initial resuscitation (arrest at home, longer time to defibrillation and lower pH), greater burden of co-morbidities (higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score and lower albumin), and advanced age were key adverse prognostic indicators among patients with OHCA and shockable rhythm.

Impact of Pre-Revascularization and Post-Revascularization Cardiac Arrest on Survival Prognosis in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction and Following Emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:705504. [PMID: 34869623 PMCID: PMC8639596 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.705504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of occurrence and timing of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) on survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We analyzed 1,956 consecutive patients with AMI with emergency PCI from 2014 to 2018. Patients with cardiac arrest events were identified, and their medical records were reviewed. Results: Patients were divided into non-cardiac arrest group (NCA group, n = 1,724), pre-revascularization cardiac arrest (PRCA group, n = 175), and post-revascularization SCA (POCA group, n = 57) according to SCA timing. Compared to NCA group, PRCA group and POCA group presented with higher brain natriuretic polypeptide (BNP), more often Killip class 3/4, atrial fibrillation, and less often completed recovery of coronary artery perfusion (all p < 0.05). Both patients with PRCA and POCA showed increased 30-day all-cause mortality when compared to patients with NCA (8.0 and 70.2% vs. 2.9%, both p < 0.001). However, when compared to patients with NCA, patients with PRCA did not lead to higher mortality during long-term follow-up (median time 917 days) (16.3 vs. 18.6%, p = 0.441), whereas patients with POCA were associated with increased all-cause mortality (36.3 vs. 18.6%, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified Killip class 3/4, atrial fibrillation, high maximum MB isoenzyme of creatine kianse, and high creatinine as predictive factors for POCA. In Cox regression analysis, POCA was found as a strong mortality-increase predictor (HR, 8.87; 95% CI, 2.26–34.72; p = 0.002) for long-term all-cause death. Conclusions: POCA appeared to be a strong life-threatening factor for 30-day and long-term all-cause mortality among patients with AMI who admitted alive and underwent emergency PCI. However, PRCA experience did not lead to a poorer long-term survival in patients with AMI surviving the first 30 days.

Heart Vessels 2021; 37:40-49.

Abstract
Despite improvements in the survival rate of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to AMI is still a devastating condition. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade is used to classify coronary reperfusion after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but it remains unclear whether TIMI grade after emergent PCI is associated with short-term mortality in patients with AMI who have suffered OHCA. We analyzed data collected from 2012 to 2017 and recorded in the Yamagata AMI registry, which is a multicenter surveillance conducted in all institutions in Yamagata prefecture. Among 3332 patients with AMI, 254 had suffered OHCA. There were 564 deaths during the 30 days after the onset of AMI. The survival rate was lower in patients who had suffered OHCA than in those who had not (40% vs. 87%; P < 0.0001). Patients with AMI who had suffered OHCA were divided into three groups based on TIMI grade (TIMI III group, n = 70; TIMI ≤ II group, n = 21; and no coronary angiography [non-CAG] group, n = 163). The survival rates in the TIMI III, TIMI ≤ II, and non-CAG groups were 87%, 38%, and 5%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that the survival rate was highest in the TIMI III group. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis demonstrated that TIMI III was closely associated with survival after adjustment for confounding factors. Achieving TIMI grade III during emergent PCI is crucial to improve survival in patients with AMI who have suffered OHCA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early coronary angiography (CAG) has been reported in individual studies and systematic reviews to significantly improve outcomes of patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest (CA). METHODS We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of early CAG on key clinical outcomes in comatose patients after ROSC following out-of-hospital CA of presumed cardiac origin. We searched the PubMED, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases from 1990 until April 2020. Eligible studies compared patients undergoing early CAG to patients with late or no CAG. When randomized controlled trials (RCTs) existed for a specific outcome, we used their results to estimate the effect of the intervention. In the absence of randomized data, we used observational data. We excluded studies at high risk of bias according to the Robins-I tool from the meta-analysis. The GRADE system was used to assess certainty of evidence at an outcome level. RESULTS Of 3738 citations screened, 3 randomized trials and 41 observational studies were eligible for inclusion. Evidence certainty across all outcomes for the RCTs was assessed as low. Randomized data showed no benefit from early as opposed to late CAG across all critical outcomes of survival and survival with favourable neurologic outcome for undifferentiated patients and for patient subgroups without ST-segment-elevation on post ROSC ECG and shockable initial rhythm. CONCLUSION These results do not support routine early CAG in undifferentiated comatose patients and patients without STE on post ROSC ECG after OHCA. REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO - CRD42020160152.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aimed to review the available evidence and evaluate the necessity of immediate coronary angiography (CAG) to obtain positive outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients without ST segment elevation. DATA SOURCES Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and SinoMed databases. STUDY SELECTION We included observational and case-control studies of outcomes among individuals without ST segment elevation experiencing OHCA who had immediate, delayed, or no CAG. DATA EXTRACTION We extracted study details, as well as patient characteristics and outcomes. DATA SYNTHESIS Six studies (n = 2665) investigating mortality until discharge demonstrated a significant increase in survival benefit with early CAG (odds ratio [OR] = 1.78; 95%CI = 1.51-2.11; I = 81%; P < .0001). Seven studies (n = 2909) showed a significant preservation of neurological functions with early CAG at discharge (OR = 1.66; 95%CI = 1.37-2.02; P < .00001). Four studies (n = 1357) investigating survival outcomes with middle-term follow-up revealed no significant benefit with early CAG (OR = 1.21; 95%CI = 0.93-1.57; I = 66%; P = .15). CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis demonstrates that there may be significant benefits in performing immediate CAG on patients who experience OHCA without ST segment elevation.

Abstract
AIM To test the diagnostic accuracy of ECG-gated coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) among survivors of out-of-hospital circulatory arrest (OHCA). METHODS We prospectively studied head-to-pelvis computed tomography (CT) scanning (<6 h from hospital arrival) in OHCA survivors. This sub-study tested the primary outcome of CCTA diagnostic accuracy to identify obstructive CAD (≥50% stenosis) compared to clinically-ordered invasive coronary angiography. Patients were not optimized with beta receptor blockade or nitroglycerin. Secondary analyses included CCTA accuracy for CAD in major coronary arteries, obstructive disease at ≥70% stenosis threshold, and where non-evaluable CCTA segments were considered either obstructive or non-obstructive. RESULTS Of the 104 enrolled OHCA survivors, 28 (27%) received both CT and invasive angiography in this sub study. All CCTA studies were evaluable although 49/346 (14%) individual coronary segments were unevaluable, primarily due to being too small to evaluate (65%). Patient-level diagnostic accuracy for the ≥50% stenosis threshold was high at 0.93 (95% CI 0.77-0.98) with a specificity of 1.0 (95% CI 0.8-1.0), sensitivity of 0.85 (95%CI 0.58-0.96), negative predictive value of 0.88 (95% CI 0.66-0.97) and positive predictive value of 1.0 (0.74-1.0). When non-evaluable segments were considered obstructive, the sensitivity rose to 0.92 (95% CI 0.67-0.99) with lower specificity of 0.27 (95% CI 0.11-0.52). CONCLUSION Early CCTA of OHCA survivors has high diagnostic accuracy to detect obstructive coronary artery disease. However, the number of non-diagnostic coronary segments is high suggesting further CCTA refinement is needed, such as the pre-CCTA use of nitroglycerin.

Abstract
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are predominantly caused by channelopathies and cardiomyopathies in youngsters and coronary heart disease in the elderly. Temporary factors, e.g., electrolyte imbalance, drug interactions, and substance abuses may play an additive role in arrhythmogenesis. Ectopic automaticity, triggered activity, and reentry mechanisms are known as important electrophysiological substrates for VF determining the antiarrhythmic therapies at the same time. Emergency need for electrical cardioversion is supported by the fact that every minute without defibrillation decreases survival rates by approximately 7%–10%. Thus, early defibrillation is an essential part of antiarrhythmic emergency management. Drug therapy has its relevance rather in the prevention of sudden cardiac death, where early recognition and treatment of the underlying disease has significant importance. Cardioprotective and antiarrhythmic effects of beta blockers in patients predisposed to sudden cardiac death were highlighted in numerous studies, hence nowadays these drugs are considered to be the cornerstones of the prevention and treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Nevertheless, other medical therapies have not been proven to be useful in the prevention of VF. Although amiodarone has shown positive results occasionally, this was not demonstrated to be consistent. Furthermore, the potential proarrhythmic effects of drugs may also limit their applicability. Based on these unfavorable observations we highlight the importance of arrhythmia prevention, where echocardiography, electrocardiography and laboratory testing play a significant role even in the emergency setting. In the following we provide a summary on the latest developments on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the evaluation and preventive treatment possibilities of patients with increased susceptibility to VF and SCD.

Predicting factors for long-term survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest - A propensity score-matched analysis. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0218634. [PMID: 31940337 PMCID: PMC6961829 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0218634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2019] [Accepted: 11/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with acute coronary syndromes accounting for most of the cases. While the benefit of early revascularization has been clearly demonstrated in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), diagnostic pathways remain unclear in the absence of STEMI. We aimed to characterize OHCA patients presenting to 2 tertiary cardiology centers and identify predicting factors associated with survival. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 519 patients after OHCA from February 2003 to December 2017 at 2 centers in Munich, Germany. Patients undergoing immediate coronary angiography (CAG) were compared to those without. Multivariate regression analysis and inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) were performed to identify predictors for improved outcome in a matched population. Results Immediate CAG was performed in 385 (74.1%) patients after OHCA with presumed cardiac cause of arrest. As a result of multivariate analysis after propensity score matching, we found that immediate CAG, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) at admission, witnessed arrest and former smoking were associated with improved 30-days-survival [(OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.26–0.84), (OR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.10–0.45), (OR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.26–0.97), (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.23–0.81)], and 1-year-survival [(OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.19–0.82), (OR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.12–0.7), (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.2–1.00), (OR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.14–0.63)]. Conclusions In our study, immediate CAG, ROSC at admission, witnessed arrest and former smoking were independent predictors of survival in cardiac arrest survivors. Improvement in prehospital management including bystander CPR and best practice post-resuscitation care with optimized triage of patients to an early invasive strategy may help ameliorate overall outcome of this critically-ill patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The role of emergency coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following cardiac arrest in patients without ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. AIMS We aim to assess whether emergency CAG and PCI, when indicated, will improve survival with good neurological outcome in post-OHCA patients without STEMI who remain comatose. METHODS COUPE is a prospective, multicentre and randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 166 survivors of OHCA without STEMI will be included. Potentially non-cardiac aetiology of the cardiac arrest will be ruled out prior to randomization. Randomization will be 1:1 for emergency (within 2 h) or deferred (performed before discharge) CAG. Both groups will receive routine care in the intensive cardiac care unit, including therapeutic hypothermia. The primary efficacy endpoint is a composite of in-hospital survival free of severe dependence, which will be evaluated using the Cerebral Performance Category Scale. The safety endpoint will be a composite of major adverse cardiac events including death, reinfarction, bleeding and ventricular arrhythmias. CONCLUSIONS This study will assess the efficacy of an emergency CAG versus a deferred one in OHCA patients without STEMI in terms of survival and neurological impairment.

Abstract
Background Although acute myocardial infarction is a common cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), the role of early coronary angiography in OHCA remains uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis of observational studies to determine the association of early coronary angiography with survival in OHCA. Methods We searched multiple electronic databases for published studies on early coronary angiography in OHCA between 1 January 1990 and 18 January 2017. Studies were included if (1) restricted to only OHCA, (2) included an exposure group that underwent early coronary angiography within 1 day of arrest onset and a concurrent control group that did not undergo early coronary angiography, and (3) reported survival outcomes. We used a random-effects model to obtain pooled OR. I2 statistics and Cochran’s Q test were used to determine between-study heterogeneity. Results A total of 17 studies with 14 972 patients were included, of whom 6424 (44%) received early coronary angiography. Early coronary angiography was associated with higher odds of survival (pooled OR 2.54 (95% CI 1.94 to 3.33)) and survival with favourable neurological outcome (pooled OR 2.37 (95% CI 1.71 to 3.28)). However, there was substantial heterogeneity in our pooled estimate (I2=88% and p value for Cochran’s test <0.0001 for both outcomes). The large heterogeneity in pooled estimates was reduced after including adjusted estimates when available, and was explained by differences in methodological rigour and characteristics of included studies. Conclusion Among patients resuscitated from OHCA, early coronary angiography is associated with increased survival to discharge and favourable neurological outcome.

Abstract
Background: Cardiac arrest remains a common and lethal condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. Even with improving survival rates, the successfully resuscitated post cardiac arrest patient is also at risk for poor neurological outcomes, functional status and long- term survival if not managed appropriately. Given that acute coronary occlusion has been found to be the leading cause of cardiac arrest, long-term prognosis is good in selected patients after successful out-of-hospital resuscitation and ST elevation myocardial infarction who are taken for immediate coronary angiography, treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention and hypothermia when indicated. Conclusion: A priority should therefore be placed in diagnosing as quickly as possible patients who have an acute coronary occlusion (i.e. ST elevation myocardial infarction) and implementing the appropriate and timely therapeutic strategy, which will require close chain of survival co- ordination and the services of the cardiac catheterization lab. Here we review previous and current guidelines as well as associated evidence.

Abstract
Coronary angiography is a key component of systematic, multi-disciplinary post-cardiac arrest (CA) care, however, coronary angiogram is not routinely performed in the setting of CA. We sought to identify the predictors of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and mortality in adults with CA undergoing coronary angiogram. The study population included 208 consecutive patients hospitalized with CA who underwent resuscitation and subsequent coronary angiogram at an academic tertiary medical center. The primary outcome of interest was presence of obstructive CAD, defined as >1 coronary artery with >70% stenosis or >1 coronary bypass graft with >70% stenosis. The secondary outcome of interest was in-hospital mortality. Of the 208 patients studied, 160 (76.9%) had obstructive CAD while 48 (23.1%) did not. In-hospital mortality occurred in 47 patients (22.6%). In multivariate analysis, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (OR 7.69, 95% CI 2.89 to 20.51), defibrillation (OR 4.90, 95% CI 1.19 to 20.17), vasopressors (OR 3.53, 95% CI 1.15 to 10.81), and absence of therapeutic hypothermia (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.98) were independently associated with presence of obstructive CAD while STEMI (OR 3.21, 95% CI 1.01 to 10.24), vasopressors (OR 4.92, 95% CI 1.78 to 13.62), therapeutic hypothermia (OR 3.89, 95% CI 1.47 to 10.31), and admission blood urea nitrogen (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.11) were independently associated with higher rates of in-hospital mortality. In this observational contemporary study, predictors of obstructive CAD and mortality exist in adults with CA undergoing coronary angiogram. Such risk models may aid in identification of CA patients who will benefit from early angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential benefit of early coronary angiography in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients without ST elevation on ECG is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between early coronary angiography and survival in these patients. METHODS Nationwide observational study between 2008 and 2013. Included were patients admitted to hospital after witnessed OHCA, with shockable rhythm, age 18 to 80 years and unconscious. Patients with ST-elevation on ECG were excluded. Patients that underwent early CAG (within 24 hours) were compared with no early CAG (later during the hospital stay or not at all). Outcomes were survival at 30 days, 1 year, and 3 years. Multivariate analysis included pre-hospital factors, comorbidity and ECG-findings. RESULTS In total, 799 OHCA patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, of which 275 (34%) received early CAG versus 524 (66%) with no early CAG. In the early CAG group, the proportion of patients with an occluded coronary artery was 27% and 70% had at least one significant coronary stenosis (defined as narrowing of coronary lumen diameter of ≥50%). The 30-day survival rate was 65% in early CAG group versus 52% with no early CAG (P < .001). The adjusted OR was 1.42 (95% CI 1.00-2.02). The one-year survival rate was 62% in the early CAG group versus 48% in the no early CAG group with the adjusted hazard ratio of 1.35 (95% CI 1.04-1.77). CONCLUSION In this population of bystander-witnessed cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with shockable rhythm and ECG without ST elevation, early coronary angiography may be associated with improved short and long term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who achieve return of spontaneous circulation, coronary angiography (CAG) might improve outcomes. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to elucidate the benefit and optimal timing of early CAG in comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with return of spontaneous circulation. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane from 1990 to May 2017. Studies reporting survival and/or neurological survival in early (< 24-hour) vs late/no CAG were selected. We used the Clinical Advances Through Research and Information Translation (CLARITY) risk of bias in cohort studies tool and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria to assess risk of bias and quality of evidence, respectively. Results were pooled using random effects and presented as risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS After screening 9185 titles/abstracts and 631 full-text articles, we included 23 nonrandomized studies. Short (to discharge or 30 days) and long-term (1-5 years) survival were significantly improved (52% and 56%, respectively) in the early < 24-hour CAG group compared with the late/no CAG group (RR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.32-1.74; P < 0.00001; I2, 94% and RR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.14-2.14; P = 0.006; I2, 86%). Survival with good neurological outcome was also improved by 69% in the < 24-hour CAG group at short- (RR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.40-2.04; P < 0.00001; I2, 93%) and intermediate-term (3-11 months; RR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.27-1.76; P < 0.00001; I2, 67%). We found consistent benefits in the < 2-hour and < 6-hour subgroups. Early CAG was associated with significantly better outcomes in studies of patients without ST-elevation, but the results did not reach statistical significance in studies of patients with ST-elevation. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of very low quality, but consistent evidence, early CAG (< 24 hours) was associated with significantly higher survival and better neurologic outcomes.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the time to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the outcome for patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In this regional system, all patients with STEMI and/or OHCA with return of spontaneous circulation were transported to STEMI Receiving Centers. The outcomes registry was queried for patients with STEMI with underwent primary PCI from April 2011 to December 2014. Patients with STEMI complicated by OHCA were compared with a reference group of STEMI without OHCA. The primary end point was the first medical contact-to-device time. Of 4,729 patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI, 422 patients (9%) suffered OHCA. Patients with OHCA were on average 2 years (95% confidence interval 0.7 to 3.0) older and had a slightly higher male predominance. The first medical contact-to-device time was longer in STEMI with OHCA compared with STEMI alone (94 ± 37 vs. 86 ± 34 minutes, p < 0.0001). In-hospital mortality was higher after OHCA, 38% versus 6% in STEMI alone, odds ratio 6.3 (95% confidence interval 5.3 to 7.4). Among OHCA survivors, 193 (73%) were discharged with a cerebral performance category score of 1 or 2. In conclusion, despite longer treatment intervals, neurologic outcome was good in nearly half of the surviving patients with STEMI complicated by OHCA, suggesting that these patients can be effectively treated with primary PCI in a regionalized system of care.

A systematic diagnostic and therapeutic approach for the treatment of patients after cardio-pulmonary resuscitation: a prospective evaluation of 212 patients over 5 years. Intern Emerg Med 2017; 12:503-511. [PMID: 27273245 DOI: 10.1007/s11739-016-1480-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2016] [Accepted: 05/30/2016] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
A literature on systematic treatment protocols for patients after resuscitation for cardiac arrest is lacking. We evaluated a systematic protocol, including ECG, echocardiogram, urgent cardiac catheterisation ("STEMI-like" workflow), CT scans, laboratory findings, IABP, hypothermia, and cMRI, prospectively over 5 years. The primary endpoint was the Cerebral Performance Category Scale (CPCS). During the period from January 2008 to December 2012, 212 patients were included. The mean age was 66.7 years, n = 151 (71.2 %) were male, mean time from the first medical contact to start of catheterisation was 76.6 min, and ventricular fibrillation (VF) was present in n = 99 (46.7 %). A significant coronary artery stenosis was seen in n = 130 (61.3 %), PCI was performed in n = 101 (47.6 %), an ACS was found in n = 100 (47.2 %), n = 91 patients (42.9 %) had another cardiac cause, an extra-cardiac cause was found in n = 12 (5.7 %, mostly a cerebral process), and in 9 patients (4.3 %), no cause was identifiable. A significant difference in mortality was found for patients with TIMI flow 2/3 vs. 0/1 (65.4 vs. 95.7 %, p < 0.01). The difference of intra-aortic balloon pumping vs. no pumping was not significant, performing hypothermia reduced mortality significantly (52.7 vs. 68.2 %, p = 0.04). The survival rate was n = 76 (35.9 %), a CPCS of 1/2 was reached in n = 68 pts (32.1 %), patients with ongoing resuscitation had a 100 % mortality (n = 41), and VF had a lower mortality (54.6 vs. 72.6 %, p < 0.01). A systematic algorithm may improve the outcome of patients after reanimation compared with classically reported outcomes. The data are hypothesis generating for further studies.

Resuscitation 2017; 115:148-154. [PMID: 28427881 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2017.04.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2017] [Revised: 03/28/2017] [Accepted: 04/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Timely post-resuscitation coronary reperfusion therapy is recommended; however, the timing of immediate coronary reperfusion for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has not been established. We studied the effect of the time interval from arrest to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on resuscitated OHCA patients. METHODS All witnessed OHCA patients with a presumed cardiac etiology received successful PCI at hospitals between 2013 and 2015, excluding cases with unknown information regarding the time from arrest to PCI and survival outcomes. The main exposure of interest was the time interval from arrest to ballooning or stent placement in coronary arteries, and cases were categorized into five groups of 0-90, 90-120, 120-150, and 150-180min and 3-6h. The endpoint was survival with good neurological recovery. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed, adjusting for patient-community, prehospital, and hospital factors. RESULTS A total of 765 patients (24.1% received PCI within 90min; 31.0% in 90-120min; 17.8% in 120-150min; 12.3% in 150-180min; 14.9% in 3-6h after arrest) were included. Good neurological recovery was more frequent in the early PCI groups than the delayed PCI group (63.6%, 55.3%, 47.8%, 33.0%, and 42.1%, respectively). The adjusted OR (95% CI) for good neurological recovery compared with the most early PCI group was 0.86 (0.53-1.39) in the PCI group between 90 and 120min; 0.76 (0.45-1.31) in the PCI group between 120 and 150min; 0.42 (0.22-0.79) in the PCI group between 150 and 180min; and 0.53 (0.30-0.93) in PCI group after 3h. CONCLUSIONS Among resuscitated OHCA patients with a presumed cardiac etiology and successful PCI, patients who received a delayed coronary intervention after 150min from arrest were less likely to have neurologically intact survival compared to those who received an early intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of Troponin (Tn) levels in the management of patients post out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is unclear. METHODS All OHCA patients enrolled in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Prehospital Resuscitation using an IMpedance valve and Early versus Delayed analysis trial and admitted to hospital with a Tn level and a 12-lead electrocardiogram were stratified by ST elevation (STE) or no STE in a regression model for survival to discharge adjusted for Utstein predictors and site. RESULTS Of the 15,617 enrolled OHCA patients, 4118 (26%) survived to admission to hospital; 17% (693) were STE and 77% (3188) were no STE with 6% unknown; 83% (3460) had at least one Tn level. Reperfusion rates were higher when Tn level >2ng/ml (p>0.1ng/ml) improved with a diagnostic cardiac catheterization (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Elevated Tn levels >2ng/ml were associated with improved survival to discharge in patients post OHCA with STE. Survival in patients with no STE and Tn values >0.1ng/ml was higher when associated with diagnostic cardiac catheterization or treated with reperfusion or revascularization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The role of immediate coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after restoration of spontaneous circulation following cardiac arrest in the absence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains debated. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesize that immediate CAG and PCI, if indicated, will improve 90-day survival in post-cardiac arrest patients without signs of STEMI. DESIGN In a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial, 552 post-cardiac arrest patients with restoration of spontaneous circulation and without signs of STEMI will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to immediate CAG and PCI (within 2 hours) versus initial deferral with CAG and PCI after neurological recovery. The primary end point of the study is 90-day survival. The secondary end points will include 90-day survival with good cerebral performance or minor/moderate disability, myocardial injury, duration of inotropic support, occurrence of acute kidney injury, need for renal replacement therapy, time to targeted temperature control, neurological status at intensive care unit discharge, markers of shock, recurrence of ventricular tachycardia, duration of mechanical ventilation, and reasons for discontinuation of treatment. SUMMARY The COACT trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical study that will evaluate the effect of an immediate invasive coronary strategy in post-cardiac arrest patients without STEMI on 90-day survival.

Abstract
Background In 2013 the Minnesota Resuscitation Consortium developed an organized approach for the management of patients resuscitated from shockable rhythms to gain early access to the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) in the metro area of Minneapolis‐St. Paul. Methods and Results Eleven hospitals with 24/7 percutaneous coronary intervention capabilities agreed to provide early (within 6 hours of arrival at the Emergency Department) access to the CCL with the intention to perform coronary revascularization for outpatients who were successfully resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia arrest. Other inclusion criteria were age >18 and <76 and presumed cardiac etiology. Patients with other rhythms, known do not resuscitate/do not intubate, noncardiac etiology, significant bleeding, and terminal disease were excluded. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurological outcome. Patients (315 out of 331) who were resuscitated from VT/VF and transferred alive to the Emergency Department had complete medical records. Of those, 231 (73.3%) were taken to the CCL per the Minnesota Resuscitation Consortium protocol while 84 (26.6%) were not taken to the CCL (protocol deviations). Overall, 197 (63%) patients survived to hospital discharge with good neurological outcome (cerebral performance category of 1 or 2). Of the patients who followed the Minnesota Resuscitation Consortium protocol, 121 (52%) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, and 15 (7%) underwent coronary artery bypass graft. In this group, 151 (65%) survived with good neurological outcome, whereas in the group that did not follow the Minnesota Resuscitation Consortium protocol, 46 (55%) survived with good neurological outcome (adjusted odds ratio: 1.99; [1.07–3.72], P=0.03). Conclusions Early access to the CCL after cardiac arrest due to a shockable rhythm in a selected group of patients is feasible in a large metropolitan area in the United States and is associated with a 65% survival rate to hospital discharge with a good neurological outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the interruption of manual chest compressions for rescue breathing reduces blood flow and possibly survival. We assessed whether outcomes after continuous compressions with positive-pressure ventilation differed from those after compressions that were interrupted for ventilations at a ratio of 30 compressions to two ventilations. METHODS This cluster-randomized trial with crossover included 114 emergency medical service (EMS) agencies. Adults with non-trauma-related cardiac arrest who were treated by EMS providers received continuous chest compressions (intervention group) or interrupted chest compressions (control group). The primary outcome was the rate of survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes included the modified Rankin scale score (on a scale from 0 to 6, with a score of ≤3 indicating favorable neurologic function). CPR process was measured to assess compliance. RESULTS Of 23,711 patients included in the primary analysis, 12,653 were assigned to the intervention group and 11,058 to the control group. A total of 1129 of 12,613 patients with available data (9.0%) in the intervention group and 1072 of 11,035 with available data (9.7%) in the control group survived until discharge (difference, -0.7 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.5 to 0.1; P=0.07); 7.0% of the patients in the intervention group and 7.7% of those in the control group survived with favorable neurologic function at discharge (difference, -0.6 percentage points; 95% CI, -1.4 to 0.1, P=0.09). Hospital-free survival was significantly shorter in the intervention group than in the control group (mean difference, -0.2 days; 95% CI, -0.3 to -0.1; P=0.004). CONCLUSIONS In patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, continuous chest compressions during CPR performed by EMS providers did not result in significantly higher rates of survival or favorable neurologic function than did interrupted chest compressions.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in developed countries. Although a majority of cardiac arrest patients die during the acute event, a substantial proportion of cardiac arrest deaths occur in patients following successful resuscitation and can be attributed to the development of post-cardiac arrest syndrome. There is growing recognition that integrated post-resuscitation care, which encompasses targeted temperature management (TTM), early coronary angiography and comprehensive critical care, can improve patient outcomes. TTM has been shown to improve survival and neurological outcome in patients who remain comatose especially following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular arrhythmias. Early coronary angiography and revascularisation if needed may also be beneficial during the post-resuscitation phase, based on data from observational studies. In addition, resuscitated patients usually require intensive care, which includes mechanical ventilator, haemodynamic support and close monitoring of blood gases, glucose, electrolytes, seizures and other disease-specific intervention. Efforts should be taken to avoid premature withdrawal of life-supporting treatment, especially in patients treated with TTM. Given that resources and personnel needed to provide high-quality post-resuscitation care may not exist at all hospitals, professional societies have recommended regionalisation of post-resuscitation care in specialised 'cardiac arrest centres' as a strategy to improve cardiac arrest outcomes. Finally, evidence for post-resuscitation care following in-hospital cardiac arrest is largely extrapolated from studies in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Future studies need to examine the effectiveness of different post-resuscitation strategies, such as TTM, in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Patients who are comatose after cardiac arrest continue to be a challenge, with high mortality. Although there is an American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association Class I recommendation for performing immediate angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (when indicated) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, no guidelines exist for patients without ST-segment elevation. Early introduction of mild therapeutic hypothermia is an established treatment goal. However, there are no established guidelines for risk stratification of patients for cardiac catheterization and possible percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly in patients who have unfavorable clinical features in whom procedures may be futile and affect public reporting of mortality. An algorithm is presented to improve the risk stratification of these severely ill patients with an emphasis on consultation and evaluation of patients prior to activation of the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Postcontrast Acute Kidney Injury in Survivors of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Ann Emerg Med 2015; 67:469-476.e1.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Survivors of sudden cardiac arrest may be exposed to iodinated contrast from invasive coronary angiography or contrast-enhanced computed tomography, although the effects on incident acute kidney injury are unknown. The study objective was to determine whether contrast administration within the first 24 hours was associated with acute kidney injury in survivors of sudden cardiac arrest. METHODS This cohort study, derived from a prospective clinical trial, included patients with sudden cardiac arrest who survived for 48 hours, had no history of end-stage renal disease, and had at least 2 serum creatinine measurements during hospitalization. The contrast group included patients with exposure to iodinated contrast within 24 hours of sudden cardiac arrest. Incident acute kidney injury and first-time dialysis were compared between contrast and no contrast groups and then controlled for known acute kidney injury risk factors. RESULTS Of the 199 survivors of sudden cardiac arrest, 94 received iodinated contrast. Mean baseline serum creatinine level was 1.3 mg/dL (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4 to 1.5 mg/dL) for the contrast group and 1.6 mg/dL (95% CI 1.4 to 1.7 mg/dL) for the no contrast group. Incident acute kidney injury was lower in the contrast group (12.8%) than the no contrast group (17.1%; difference 4.4%; 95% CI -9.2% to 17.5%). Contrast administration was not associated with significant increases in incident acute kidney injury within quartiles of baseline serum creatinine level or after controlling for age, sex, race, congestive heart failure, diabetes, and admission serum creatinine level by regression analysis. Older age was independently associated with acute kidney injury. CONCLUSION Despite elevated baseline serum creatinine level in most survivors of sudden cardiac arrest, iodinated contrast administration was not associated with incident acute kidney injury even when other acute kidney injury risk factors were controlled for. Thus, although acute kidney injury is not uncommon among survivors of sudden cardiac arrest, early (<24 hours) contrast administration from imaging procedures did not confer an increased risk for acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Targeted temperature management and early coronary angiography have become the standard of care for postcardiac arrest patients remaining comatose and with ST-segment elevation on the ECG. Less clear is the optimal approach for similar patients without ST-segment elevation on the postresuscitation ECG. However, current data from nonrandomized cohort studies suggest that many of these patients also benefit from an aggressive approach to postresuscitation care. Recent reports of increased stent thrombosis in the postarrest population need further exploration.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether early coronary angiography (CAG) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of a presumed cardiac cause is associated with improved outcomes in patients without acute ST elevation. METHODS The target temperature management after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (TTM) trial showed no difference in all-cause mortality or neurological outcome between an intervention of 33 and 36 °C. In this post hoc analysis, 544 patients where the admission electrocardiogram did not show acute ST elevation were included. Early CAG was defined as being performed on admission or within the first 6 h after arrest. Primary outcome was mortality at the end of trial. A Cox proportional hazard model was created to estimate hazard of death, adjusting for covariates. In addition, a propensity score matched analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 252 patients (46 %) received early CAG, whereas 292 (54 %) did not. At the end of the trial, 122 of 252 patients who received an early CAG (48 %) and 159 of 292 patients who did not (54 %) had died. The adjusted hazard ratio for death was 1.03 in the group that received an early CAG; 95 % CI 0.80-1.32, p = 0.82. In the propensity score analysis early CAG was not significantly associated with survival. CONCLUSIONS In this post hoc observational study of a large randomized trial, early coronary angiography for patients without acute ST elevation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of a presumed cardiac cause was not associated with improved survival. A randomized trial is warranted to guide clinical practice.
