Abstract
Studies on targeted temperature management for postcardiac arrest syndrome have shown no difference in outcomes between normothermia and hypothermia in patients with postcardiac arrest brain injury. Therefore, further development of therapeutic methods for temperature control in cardiac arrest patients is desirable. Although animal studies have shown that inducing hypothermia during cardiac arrest improves outcomes, no clinically effective method has yet been reported. We investigated whether intra-arrest lung cooling (IALC) effectively lowers brain temperature. A device capable of cooling oxygen was developed. The pigs were subjected to cardiac arrest using the device, ventilated, cooled during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and resuscitated for 1 hour, with changes in brain temperature closely monitored. A device capable of cooling oxygen to -30°C was used to cool the lungs during cardiac arrest. Through this approach, IALC successfully reduced the brain temperature. Optimal cooling efficiency was observed when chest compressions and ventilation were synchronized at a ratio of 5:1, resulting in an approximate brain temperature reduction of 1.5°C/h. Our successful development of an oxygen-cooling device underscores the potential for lowering brain temperature through IALC using inhaled oxygen cooling.

Intra-Arrest Therapeutic Hypothermia and Neurologic Outcome in Patients Admitted after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Post Hoc Analysis of the Princess Trial. Brain Sci 2022; 12:brainsci12101374. [PMID: 36291308 PMCID: PMC9599313 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12101374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Despite promising results, the role of intra-arrest hypothermia in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of trans-nasal evaporative cooling (TNEC) during resuscitation on neurological recovery in OHCA patients admitted alive to the hospital. Methods: A post hoc analysis of the PRINCESS trial, including only patients admitted alive to the hospital, either assigned to TNEC or standard of care during resuscitation. The primary endpoint was favorable neurological outcome (FO) defined as a Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) of 1–2 at 90 days. The secondary outcomes were overall survival at 90 days and CPC 1 at 90 days. Subgroup analyses were performed according to the initial cardiac rhythm. Results: A total of 149 patients in the TNEC and 142 in the control group were included. The number of patients with CPC 1–2 at 90 days was 56/149 (37.6%) in the intervention group and 45/142 (31.7%) in the control group (p = 0.29). Survival and CPC 1 at 90 days was observed in 60/149 patients (40.3%) vs. 52/142 (36.6%; p = 0.09) and 50/149 (33.6%) vs. 35/142 (24.6%; p = 0.11) in the two groups. In the subgroup of patients with an initial shockable rhythm, the number of patients with CPC 1 at 90 days was 45/83 (54.2%) in the intervention group and 27/78 (34.6%) in the control group (p = 0.01). Conclusions: In this post hoc analysis of admitted OHCA patients, no statistically significant benefits of TNEC on neurological outcome at 90 days was found. In patients with initial shockable rhythm, TNEC was associated with increased full neurological recovery.

Abstract
Background Randomized trials have shown that trans-nasal evaporative cooling initiated during CPR (i.e. intra-arrest) effectively lower core body temperature in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. However, these trials may have been underpowered to detect significant differences in neurologic outcome, especially in patients with initial shockable rhythm. Methods We conducted a post hoc pooled analysis of individual data from two randomized trials including 851 patients who eventually received the allocated intervention and with available outcome (“as-treated” analysis). Primary outcome was survival with favourable neurological outcome at hospital discharge (Cerebral Performance Category [CPC] of 1–2) according to the initial rhythm (shockable vs. non-shockable). Secondary outcomes included complete neurological recovery (CPC 1) at hospital discharge. Results Among the 325 patients with initial shockable rhythms, favourable neurological outcome was observed in 54/158 (34.2%) patients in the intervention and 40/167 (24.0%) in the control group (RR 1.43 [confidence intervals, CIs 1.01–2.02]). Complete neurological recovery was observed in 40/158 (25.3%) in the intervention and 27/167 (16.2%) in the control group (RR 1.57 [CIs 1.01–2.42]). Among the 526 patients with initial non-shockable rhythms, favourable neurological outcome was in 10/259 (3.8%) in the intervention and 13/267 (4.9%) in the control group (RR 0.88 [CIs 0.52–1.29]; p = 0.67); survival and complete neurological recovery were also similar between groups. No significant benefit was observed for the intervention in the entire population. Conclusions In this pooled analysis of individual data, intra-arrest cooling was associated with a significant increase in favourable neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with initial shockable rhythms. Future studies are needed to confirm the potential benefits of this intervention in this subgroup of patients.

The interplay between bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and ambient temperature on neurological outcome after cardiac arrest: A nationwide observational cohort study. Resuscitation 2021; 164:46-53. [PMID: 34023426 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.05.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND At lower ambient temperature, patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) easily experience hypothermia. Hypothermia has shown to improve the rate of successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in animal models. We hypothesized that lower temperature affects the impact of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the increased odds of a favorable neurological outcome post-OHCA. METHODS This study used information collected by the prospective, nationwide, Utstein registry to examine data from 352,689 adult patients who experienced OHCA from 2012 to 2016 in Japan. The primary outcome was a 1-month favorable neurological outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to test the impact of bystander CPR according to the temperature on the favorable outcome. RESULTS A total of 201,111 patients with OHCA were included in the complete case analysis. The lower temperature group had lower proportions of receiving bystander CPR (46.5 vs. 47.9%) and having favorable outcome (2.1 vs 2.8%) than those in the higher group. Multivariable analysis revealed that bystander CPR at lower temperatures was significantly associated with favorable outcomes (adjusted odds ratio, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.09-1.37), whereas bystander CPR at higher temperatures was not associated with favorable outcomes (1.02; 0.92-1.13). The nonlinear relationship using a spline curve in the multivariable model revealed that odds ratio of favorable neurological outcomes associated with bystander CPR increased as the temperature decreased. CONCLUSION Bystander CPR was associated with favorable neurological outcomes at lower temperatures. The odds of a favorable outcome associated with bystander CPR increased as the temperature decreased.

Abstract
This chapter aims to provide an up-to-date review of the science and clinical practice pertaining to neurologic injury after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The past two decades have seen a major shift in the science and practice of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, with a major emphasis on postresuscitation neurologic care. This chapter provides a nuanced and thoughtful historic and bench-to-bedside overview of the neurologic aspects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A particular emphasis is made on the anatomy and pathophysiology of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, up-to-date management of survivors of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and a careful discussion on neurologic outcome prediction. Guidance to practice evidence-based clinical care when able and thoughtful, pragmatic suggestions for care where evidence is lacking are also provided. This chapter serves as both a useful clinical guide and an updated, thorough, and state-of-the-art reference on the topic for advanced students and experienced practitioners in the field.

Abstract
Aims Many experimental studies have reported that intra-arrest cooling during cardiac arrest is a promising treatment to mitigate brain injury. However, there is no clinically established method for cooling the brain during cardiac arrest. We hypothesized that, as blood flow in the lungs must be very slow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the blood could be cooled by ventilating the lungs with cooled oxygen like a radiator, and that this cooled blood would in turn cool the brain. The aim of this study was to develop equipment to cool oxygen for this purpose and to confirm its safety on a group of volunteers. Methods We developed new equipment that cools oxygen by running it through a vinyl chloride coil submerged in a bottle of water and frozen at -80°C. Using this equipment, seven volunteers were given oxygen by mask, and their blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral saturation of oxygen were measured. The temperature in the mask was also measured. Results This equipment was able to decrease the temperature in the mask to -5°C at the Jackson Rees circuit for an oxygen flow of 10 L/min. Among the volunteer group, vital signs were unchanged and the temperature in the mask decreased from 30.1 ± 2.6°C (mean ± standard deviation) to 15.9 ± 9.6°C. No adverse effects were observed in the volunteers after experimentation. Conclusion We successfully developed new equipment to cool oxygen and established its safety in a volunteer study.

Hypothermic Total Liquid Ventilation Is Highly Protective Through Cerebral Hemodynamic Preservation and Sepsis-Like Mitigation After Asphyxial Cardiac Arrest. Crit Care Med 2015; 43:e420-30.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Total liquid ventilation provides ultrafast and potently neuro- and cardioprotective cooling after shockable cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction in animals. Our goal was to decipher the effect of hypothermic total liquid ventilation on the systemic and cerebral response to asphyxial cardiac arrest using an original pressure- and volume-controlled ventilation strategy in rabbits. DESIGN Randomized animal study. SETTING Academic research laboratory. SUBJECTS New Zealand Rabbits. INTERVENTIONS Thirty-six rabbits were submitted to 13 minutes of asphyxia, leading to cardiac arrest. After resumption of spontaneous circulation, they underwent either normothermic life support (control group, n = 12) or hypothermia induced by either 30 minutes of total liquid ventilation (total liquid ventilation group, n = 12) or IV cold saline (conventional cooling group, n = 12). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Ultrafast cooling with total liquid ventilation (32 °C within 5 min in the esophagus) dramatically attenuated the post-cardiac arrest syndrome regarding survival, neurologic dysfunction, and histologic lesions (brain, heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs). Final survival rate achieved 58% versus 0% and 8% in total liquid ventilation, control, and conventional cooling groups (p < 0.05), respectively. This was accompanied by an early preservation of the blood-brain barrier integrity and cerebral hemodynamics as well as reduction in the immediate reactive oxygen species production in the brain, heart, and kidneys after cardiac arrest. Later on, total liquid ventilation also mitigated the systemic inflammatory response through alteration of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-8 transcripts levels compared with control. In the conventional cooling group, cooling was achieved more slowly (32 °C within 90-120 min in the esophagus), providing none of the above-mentioned systemic or organ protection. CONCLUSIONS Ultrafast cooling by total liquid ventilation limits the post-cardiac arrest syndrome after asphyxial cardiac arrest in rabbits. This protection involves an early limitation in reactive oxidative species production, blood-brain barrier disruption, and delayed preservation against the systemic inflammatory response.

Abstract
Since their introduction over 40 years ago, paramedics have been trained to deliver select advanced life support interventions in the community with the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease and trauma. The ensuing decades witnessed a great deal of interest in paramedic care, with an exponential growth in prehospital resuscitation research. As part of the CJEM series on emergency medical services (EMS), we review recent prehospital research in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and discuss how, in a novel departure from the origins of EMS, prehospital research is beginning to influence in-hospital care. We discuss emerging areas of study related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality, therapeutic hypothermia, termination of resuscitation, and the use of end-tidal carbon dioxide measurement, as well as the subtle ripple effects that prehospital research is having on the broader understanding of the management of these critically ill patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total liquid ventilation (TLV) can cool down the entire body within 10-15 min in small animals. Our goal was to determine whether it could also induce ultra-fast and whole-body cooling in large animals using a specifically dedicated liquid ventilator. Cooling efficiency was evaluated under physiological conditions (beating-heart) and during cardiac arrest with automated chest compressions (CC, intra-arrest). METHODS In a first set of experiments, beating-heart pigs were randomly submitted to conventional mechanical ventilation or hypothermic TLV with perfluoro-N-octane (between 15 and 32 °C). In a second set of experiments, pigs were submitted to ventricular fibrillation and CC. One group underwent continuous CC with asynchronous conventional ventilation (Control group). The other group was switched to TLV while pursuing CC for the investigation of cooling capacities and potential effects on cardiac massage efficiency. RESULTS Under physiological conditions, TLV significantly decreased the entire body temperatures below 34 °C within only 10 min. As examples, cooling rates averaged 0.54 and 0.94 °C/min in rectum and esophageous, respectively. During cardiac arrest, TLV did not alter CC efficiency and cooled the entire body below 34 °C within 20 min, the low-flow period slowing cooling during CC. CONCLUSION Using a specifically designed liquid ventilator, TLV induced a very rapid cooling of the entire body in large animals. This was confirmed in both physiological conditions and during cardiac arrest with CC. TLV could be relevant for ultra-rapid cooling independently of body weight.

Sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation facilitates intra-arrest therapeutic hypothermia in a porcine model of prolonged ventricular fibrillation. Crit Care Med 2015; 43:849-55.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation on heat exchange during surface cooling. We hypothesized that sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation would decrease the time required to reach brain temperature less than 35°C compared to active compression-decompression plus impedance threshold device cardiopulmonary resuscitation alone, in the setting of intra-cardiopulmonary resuscitation cooling. We further hypothesized that the addition of epinephrine during sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation would mitigate heat exchange. DESIGN Prospective randomized animal investigation. SETTING Preclinical animal laboratory. SUBJECTS Female farm pigs (n=28). INTERVENTIONS After 10 minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation, animals were randomized to three different protocols: sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation (n=8), sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation plus epinephrine (n=10), and active compression-decompression plus impedance threshold device alone (control, n=10). All animals received surface cooling at the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation included active compression-decompression plus impedance threshold device plus abdominal binding and 2 mg of sodium nitroprusside at 1, 4, and 8 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. No epinephrine was used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation group. Control and sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation plus epinephrine groups received 0.5 mg of epinephrine at 4.5 and 9 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Defibrillation occurred after 10 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After return of spontaneous circulation, an Arctic Sun (Medivance, Louiseville, CO) was applied at maximum cooling on all animals. The primary endpoint was the time required to reach brain temperature less than 35°C beginning from the time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation initiation. Data are presented as mean±SEM. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The time required to reach a brain temperature of 35°C was decreased with sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation versus control or sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation plus epinephrine (24±6 min, 63±8 min, and 50±9 min, respectively; p=0.005). Carotid blood flow was higher during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation group (83±15 mL/min vs 26±7 mL/min and 35±5 mL/min in the control and sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation plus epinephrine groups, respectively; p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation facilitates intra-cardiopulmonary resuscitation hypothermia. The addition of epinephrine to sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduced its improvement in heat exchange.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia was shown to facilitate resumption of spontaneous circulation when instituted during cardiac arrest. Here, we investigated whether it directly improved the chance of successful resuscitation independently of adrenaline administration in rabbits. We further evaluated the direct effect of hypothermia on vascular function in vitro. METHODS In a first set of experiments, four groups of anesthetized rabbits were submitted to 15 min of cardiac arrest and subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The "control" group underwent CPR with only cardiac massage and defibrillation attempts. Two other groups received cold or normothermic saline infusion during CPR (20 mL/kg of NaCl 0.9% at 4°C or 38°C, respectively). In a last group, the animals received adrenaline (15 µg/kg intravenously) during CPR. In a second set of experiments, we evaluated at 32°C vs. 38°C the vascular function of aortic rings withdrawn from healthy rabbits or after cardiac arrest. RESULTS In the first set of experiments, cardiac massage efficiency was improved by adrenaline but neither by hypothermic nor normothermic saline administration. Resumption of spontaneous circulation was observed in five of eight animals after adrenaline as compared with none of eight in other groups. Defibrillation rates were conversely similar among groups (7/8 or 8/8). In the second set of experiments, in vitro hypothermia (32°C) was not able to prevent the dramatic alteration of vascular function observed after cardiac arrest. It also did not directly modify vasocontractile or the vasodilating functions in healthy conditions. CONCLUSION In rabbits, hypothermia did not exert a direct hemodynamic or vascular effect that might explain its beneficial effect during CPR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The respiratory properties of perfluorocarbons (PFC) have been widely studied for liquid ventilation in humans and animals. Several PFC were tested but their tolerance may depend on the species. Here, the effects of a single administration of liquid PFC into pig lungs were assessed and compared. Three different PFC having distinct evaporative and spreading coefficient properties were evaluated (Perfluorooctyl bromide [PFOB], perfluorodecalin [PFD] and perfluoro-N-octane [PFOC]). METHODS Pigs were anesthetized and submitted to mechanical ventilation. They randomly received an intra-tracheal administration of 15 ml/kg of either PFOB, PFD or PFOC with 12 h of mechanical ventilation before awakening and weaning from ventilation. A Control group was submitted to mechanical ventilation with no PFC administration. All animals were followed during 4 days after the initial PFC administration to investigate gas exchanges and clinical recovery. They were ultimately euthanized for histological analyses and assessment of PFC residual concentrations within the lungs using dual nuclei fluorine and hydrogen Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Sixteen animals were included (4/group). RESULTS In the PFD group, animals tended to be hypoxemic after awakening. In PFOB and PFOC groups, blood gases were not significantly different from the Control group after awakening. The poor tolerance of PFD was likely related to a large amount of residual PFC, as observed using MRI in all lung samples (≈10% of lung volume). This percentage was lower in the PFOB group (≈1%) but remained significantly greater than in the Control group. In the PFOC group, the percentage of residual PFC was not significantly different from that of the Control group (≈0.1%). Histologically, the most striking feature was an alveolar infiltration with foam macrophages, especially in the groups treated by PFD or PFOB. CONCLUSIONS Of the three tested perfluorocarbons, PFOC offered the best tolerance in terms of lung function, gas exchanges and residuum in the lung. PFOC was rapidly cleared from the lungs and virtually disappeared after 4 days whereas PFOB persisted at significant levels and led to foam macrophage infiltration. PFOC could be relevant for short term total liquid ventilation with a rapid weaning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ultrafast and whole-body cooling can be induced by total liquid ventilation with temperature-controlled perfluorocarbons. Our goal was to determine whether this can afford maximal cardio- and neuroprotections through cooling rapidity when coronary occlusion is complicated by cardiac arrest. DESIGN Prospective, randomized animal study. SETTING Academic research laboratory. SUBJECTS Male New Zealand rabbits. INTERVENTIONS Chronically instrumented rabbits were submitted to coronary artery occlusion and ventricular fibrillation. After 8 minutes of cardiac arrest, animals were resuscitated and submitted to a normothermic follow-up (control group) or to 3 hours of mild hypothermia induced by total liquid ventilation (total liquid ventilation group) or by combination of cold saline infusion and cold blankets application (saline group). Coronary reperfusion was permitted 40 minutes after the onset of occlusion. After awakening, rabbits were followed up during 7 days. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Ten animals were resuscitated in each group. In the control group, all animals secondarily died of cardiac/respiratory failure (8 of 10) or neurological dysfunction (2 of 10). In the saline group, the target temperature of 32°C was achieved within 30-45 minutes after cooling initiation. This slightly reduced infarct size versus control (41% ± 16% vs 54% ± 8% of risk zone, respectively; p < 0.05) but failed to significantly improve cardiac output, neurological recovery, and survival rate (three survivors, six death from cardiac/respiratory failure, and one from neurological dysfunction). Conversely, the 32°C temperature was achieved within 5-10 minutes in the total liquid ventilation group. This led to a dramatic reduction in infarct size (13% ± 4%; p < 0.05 vs other groups) and improvements in cardiac output, neurological recovery, and survival (eight survivors, two deaths from cardiac/respiratory failure). CONCLUSIONS Achieving hypothermia rapidly is critical to improve the cardiovascular outcome after cardiac arrest with underlying myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Background Therapeutic hypothermia (TH, 32-34°C) has been shown to improve neurological outcome in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Earlier initiation of TH may increase the beneficial effects. Experimental studies have suggested that starting TH during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may further enhance its neuroprotective effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether intra-arrest TH (IATH), initiated in the field with trans nasal evaporative cooling (TNEC), would provide outcome benefits when compared to standard of care in patients being resuscitated from OHCA. Methods/design We describe the methodology of a multi-centre, randomized, controlled trial comparing IATH delivered through TNEC device (Rhinochill, Benechill Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) during CPR to standard treatment, including TH initiated after hospital admission. The primary outcome is neurological intact survival defined as cerebral performance category 1–2 at 90 days among those patients who are admitted to the hospital. Secondary outcomes include survival at 90 days, proportion of patients achieving a return to spontaneous circulation (ROSC), the proportion of patients admitted alive to the hospital and the proportion of patients achieving target temperature (<34°C) within the first 4 hours since CA. Discussion This ongoing trial will assess the impact of IATH with TNEC, which may be able to rapidly induce brain cooling and have fewer side effects than other methods, such as cold fluid infusion. If this intervention is found to improve neurological outcome, its early use in the pre-hospital setting will be considered as an early neuro-protective strategy in OHCA.

Abstract
Introduction Therapeutic hypothermia is largely used to protect the brain following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest (CA), but it is unclear whether we should start therapeutic hypothermia earlier, that is, before ROSC. Methods We performed a systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library and Ovid/Medline databases using "arrest" OR "cardiac arrest" OR "heart arrest" AND "hypothermia" OR "therapeutic hypothermia" OR "cooling" as keywords. Only studies using intra-arrest therapeutic hypothermia (IATH) were selected for this review. Three authors independently assessed the validity of included studies and extracted data regarding characteristics of the studied cohort (animal or human) and the main outcomes related to the use of IATH: Mortality, neurological status and cardiac function (particularly, rate of ROSC). Results A total of 23 animal studies (level of evidence (LOE) 5) and five human studies, including one randomized controlled trial (LOE 1), one retrospective and one prospective controlled study (LOE 3), and two prospective studies without a control group (LOE 4), were identified. IATH improved survival and neurological outcomes when compared to normothermia and/or hypothermia after ROSC. IATH was also associated with improved ROSC rates and with improved cardiac function, including better left ventricular function, and reduced myocardial infarct size, when compared to normothermia. Conclusions IATH improves survival and neurological outcome when compared to normothermia and/or conventional hypothermia in experimental models of CA. Clinical data on the efficacy of IATH remain limited.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Mild therapeutic hypothermia is a major advance in post-resuscitation-care. Some questions remain unclear regarding the time to initiate cooling and the time to achieve target temperature below 34 °C. We examined whether seasonal variability of outside temperature influences the body temperature of cardiac arrest victims, and if this might have an effect on outcome. METHODS Patients with witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests were enrolled retrospectively. Temperature variables from 4 climatic stations in Vienna were provided from the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics. Depending on the outside temperature at the scene the study participants were assigned to a seasonal group. To compare the seasonal groups a Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was performed as appropriate. RESULTS Of 134 patients, 61 suffered their cardiac arrest during winter, with an outside temperature below 10 °C; in 39 patients the event occurred during summer, with an outside temperature above 20 °C. Comparing the tympanic temperature recorded at hospital admission, the median of 36 °C (IQR 35.3-36.3) during summer differed significantly to winter with a median of 34.9 °C (IQR 34-35.6) (p<0.05). This seasonal alterations in core body temperature had no impact on the time-to-target-temperature, survival rate or neurologic recovery. CONCLUSION The seasonal variability of outside temperature influences body temperature of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims.

Abstract
Background Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has a poor outcome. Recent non-randomized studies of ECLS (extracorporeal life support) in OHCA suggested further prospective multicenter studies to define population that would benefit from ECLS. We aim to perform a prospective randomized study comparing prehospital intraarrest hypothermia combined with mechanical chest compression device, intrahospital ECLS and early invasive investigation and treatment in all patients with OHCA of presumed cardiac origin compared to a standard of care. Methods This paper describes methodology and design of the proposed trial. Patients with witnessed OHCA without ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation) after a minimum of 5 minutes of ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) by emergency medical service (EMS) team and after performance of all initial procedures (defibrillation, airway management, intravenous access establishment) will be randomized to standard vs. hyperinvasive arm. In hyperinvasive arm, mechanical compression device together with intranasal evaporative cooling will be instituted and patients will be transferred directly to cardiac center under ongoing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). After admission, ECLS inclusion/exclusion criteria will be evaluated and if achieved, veno-arterial ECLS will be started. Invasive investigation and standard post resuscitation care will follow. Patients in standard arm will be managed on scene. When ROSC achieved, they will be transferred to cardiac center and further treated as per recent guidelines. Primary outcome 6 months survival with good neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category 1–2). Secondary outcomes will include 30 day neurological and cardiac recovery. Discussion Authors introduce and offer a protocol of a proposed randomized study comparing a combined “hyperinvasive approach” to a standard of care in refractory OHCA. The protocol is opened for sharing by other cardiac centers with available ECLS and cathlab teams trained to admit patients with refractory cardiac arrest under ongoing CPR. A prove of concept study will be started soon. The aim of the authors is to establish a net of centers for a multicenter trial initiation in future. Ethics and registration The protocol has been approved by an Institutional Review Board, will be supported by a research grant from Internal Grant Agency of the Ministry of Health, Czech Republic NT 13225-4/2012 and has been registered under ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01511666.

Abstract
This report focuses on cardioprotection and describes the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of inducing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) with regard to neuroprotection and cardioprotection for patients with cardiac arrest and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). TH is recommended in cardiac arrest guidelines. For patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, improvements in survival and neurologic outcomes were observed with relatively slow induction of TH. More rapid induction of TH in patients with cardiac arrest might have a mild to modest incremental impact on neurologic outcomes. TH drastically reduces infarct size in animal models, but achievement of target temperature before reperfusion is essential. Rapid initiation of TH in patients with STEMI is challenging but attainable, and marked infarct size reductions are possible. To induce TH, a variety of devices have recently been developed that require additional study. Of particular interest is transcoronary induction of TH using a catheter or wire lumen, which enables hypothermic reperfusion in the absence of total-body hypothermia. At present, the main methods of inducing and maintaining TH are surface cooling, endovascular heat-exchange catheters, and intravenous infusion of cold fluids. Surface cooling or endovascular catheters may be sufficient for induction of TH in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. For patients with STEMI, intravenous infusion of cold fluids achieves target temperature very rapidly but might worsen left ventricular function. More widespread use of TH would improve survival and quality of life for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; larger studies with more rapid induction of TH are needed in the STEMI population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In animal models of cardiac arrest, the benefit afforded by hypothermia is closely linked to the rapidity of the decrease in body temperature after resuscitation. Because total liquid ventilation (TLV) with temperature-controlled perfluorocarbons induces a very rapid and generalized cooling, we aimed to determine whether this could limit the post-cardiac arrest syndrome in a rabbit model. We especially focused on neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, liver and kidney dysfunctions. METHODS AND RESULTS Anesthetized rabbits were submitted to either 5 or 10 minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation. After cardiopulmonary resuscitation and resumption of a spontaneous circulation, the animals underwent either normothermic life support (control) or therapeutic hypothermia induced by TLV. The latter procedure decreased esophageal and tympanic temperatures to 32°C to 33°C within only 10 minutes. After rewarming, the animals submitted to TLV exhibited an attenuated neurological dysfunction and decreased mortality 7 days later compared with control. The neuroprotective effect of TLV was confirmed by a significant reduction in brain histological damages. We also observed limitation of myocardial necrosis, along with a decrease in troponin I release and a reduced myocardial caspase 3 activity, with TLV. The beneficial effects of TLV were directly related to the rapidity of hypothermia induction because neither conventional cooling (cold saline infusion plus external cooling) nor normothermic TLV elicited a similar protection. CONCLUSIONS Ultrafast cooling instituted by TLV exerts potent neurological and cardiac protection in an experimental model of cardiac arrest in rabbits. This could be a relevant approach to provide a global and protective hypothermia against the post-cardiac arrest syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 'Stone heart' resulting from ischemic contracture of the myocardium, precludes successful resuscitation from ventricular fibrillation (VF). We hypothesized that mild hypothermia might slow the progression to stone heart. METHODS Fourteen swine (27 ± 1 kg) were randomized to normothermia (group I; n=6) or hypothermia groups (group II; n=8). Mild hypothermia (34 ± 2 °C) was induced with ice packs prior to VF induction. The LV and right ventricular (RV) cross-sectional areas were followed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance until the development of stone heart. A commercial 1.5T GE Signa NV-CV/i scanner was used. Complete anatomic coverage of the heart was acquired using a steady-state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequence gated at baseline prior to VF onset. Un-gated SSFP images were obtained serially after VF induction. The ventricular endocardium was manually traced and LV and RV volumes were calculated at each time point. RESULTS In group I, the LV was dilated compared to baseline at 5 minutes after VF and this remained for 20 minutes. Stone heart, arbitrarily defined as LV volume <1/3 of baseline at the onset of VF, occurred at 29 ± 3 minutes. In group II, there was less early dilation of the LV (p<0.05) and the development of stone heart was delayed to 52 ± 4 minutes after onset of VF (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this closed-chest swine model of prolonged untreated VF, hypothermia reduced the early LV dilatation and importantly, delayed the onset of stone heart thereby extending a known, morphologic limit of resuscitability.

Abstract
Reducing body temperature to 33 °C in patients who have been resuscitated from cardiac arrest but who remain comatose can ameliorate anoxic encephalopathy and improve recovery. Experimental animal studies have suggested that cooling to 33 °C also aids the resuscitative process itself, facilitating the resumption of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The mechanism of cooling benefit is probably the reduction of metabolic demand of most organs, and reduced production of toxic metabolites and reactive oxygen species. External cooling by application of ice or pads through which cold water circulates is effective but requires up to 8 hours to achieve the target temperature of 33 °C. Our goal was to develop a faster method of cooling that could be initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In anesthetized swine, we induced ventricular fibrillation by passing alternating current down an electrode catheter in the right ventricle. We then ventilated the animals' lungs with liquid perfluorocarbons (PFCs), a technique known as total liquid ventilation (TLV). Perfluorocarbons are oxygen-carrying modules; we pre-oxygenated the PFCs by bubbling 100% O(2) through the solution for 2 minutes before use, and pre-cooled the PFCs to -15 °C. The cold oxygenated PFCs reduced pulmonary artery temperature (a surrogate for myocardial temperature) to 33 °C in about 6 minutes. Using this technique we achieved ROSC in 8 of 11 (82%) animals given TLV versus 3 of 11 (27%) control animals receiving conventional CPR without PFCs (P<0.05). We also compared the cold TLV technique with the administration of intravenous iced saline to achieve hypothermia. Both the cold TLV and cold saline techniques produced rapid hypothermia, but we could achieve ROSC in only 2 of 8 (25%) animals given cold saline versus 7 of 8 (88%) given cold TLV. This result is likely due to the rise in right atrial pressure and corresponding reduction in coronary perfusion pressure caused by volume loading with IV saline, in addition to the higher pO(2) associated with pre-oxygenated PFCs. Cold TLV is a promising technique for achieving rapid intra-arrest and post-resuscitation hypothermia in patients experiencing cardiac arrest.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve both mortality and neurologic outcomes following pulseless ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Animal data suggest intra-arrest induction of therapeutic hypothermia (IATH) improves frequency of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Our objective was to evaluate the association between IATH and ROSC. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of individuals experiencing non-traumatic cardiac arrest in a large metropolitan area during a 12-month period. Six months into the study a prehospital IATH protocol was instituted whereby patients received 2000ml of 4°C normal saline directly after obtaining IV/IO access. The main outcome variables were prehospital ROSC, survival to admission, and to discharge. A secondary analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between the quantity of cold saline infused and the likelihood of prehospital ROSC. RESULTS 551 patients met inclusion criteria with all the elements available for data analysis. Rates of prehospital ROSC were 36.5% versus 26.9% (OR 1.83; 95% CI 1.19-2.81) in patients who received IATH versus normothermic resuscitation respectively. While the frequency of survival to hospital admission and discharge were increased among those receiving IATH, the differences did not reach statistical significance. The secondary analysis found a linear association between the amount of cold saline infused and the likelihood of prehospital ROSC. CONCLUSION The infusion of 4°C normal saline during the intra-arrest period may improve rate of ROSC even at low fluid volumes. Further study is required to determine if intra-arrest cooling has a beneficial effect on rates of ROSC, mortality, and neurologic function.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this study is to discuss recent data relating to the treatment of cardiac arrest survivors. This is a rapidly evolving component of resuscitation medicine that impacts significantly on the quality of survival after cardiac arrest. RECENT FINDINGS The postcardiac arrest syndrome comprises postcardiac arrest brain injury, postcardiac arrest myocardial dysfunction, the systemic ischaemia/reperfusion response, and the persistent precipitating disease. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is the preferred method for restoring coronary perfusion when cardiac arrest has been caused by an ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Many cardiac arrest survivors with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction may also benefit from urgent percutaneous coronary intervention. Comatose cardiac arrest survivors should be managed with a moderate blood glucose target range of below 10 mmol/l (180 mg/dl). Therapeutic hypothermia is now generally accepted as part of a treatment strategy for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, but its use may render conventional methods of prognostication unreliable. SUMMARY Survivors from cardiac arrest develop a postcardiac arrest syndrome. Postresuscitation care, including primary percutaneous coronary intervention, therapeutic hypothermia, and control of blood sugar, improves survival and neurological outcome in cardiac arrest survivors. Completely reliable prognostication in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest is difficult to achieve.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) cardioprotection has recently been associated with increased Akt signaling in a rat model of cardiac arrest. However, it is not known whether Akt is required for this beneficial effect of TH. We used a mouse model of cardiac arrest demonstrating TH cardioprotection to study the response of mice deficient in an Akt1 allele. We hypothesized that Akt1 mediates TH cardioprotection and that decreases in Akt1 content would diminish such protection. Adult C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice underwent an 8-min cardiac arrest. After 6 min, the mice were randomized to normothermia (WT(NT), 37 degrees C) or TH (WT(TH), 30 degrees C). Following cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), the animals were hemodynamically monitored for 240 min (R240). At R240, cardiac tissue Akt content and phosphorylation were assayed. Studies were repeated in Akt1 heterozygous (Akt1(+/-)) mice. As a result, baseline characteristics and ROSC rates were equivalent across groups. At R240, WT(TH) mice exhibited lower heart rate, larger stroke volume, and higher cardiac output than WT(NT) animals (P < 0.05). Cardioprotection in WT(TH) at R240 was associated with increased cardiac Akt phosphorylation at Ser473 and Thr308 compared with that in WT(NT) (P < 0.05). TH-associated alterations in Akt phosphorylation, stroke volume, heart rate, and cardiac output were abrogated in Akt1(+/-) animals. In conclusion, TH improves post-ROSC cardiac function and increases Akt phosphorylation in WT, but not Akt1(+/-), mice. The Akt1 isoform appears necessary for TH-mediated cardioprotection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulseless electrical activity is an important cause of cardiac arrest. Our purpose was to determine if induction of hypothermia with a cold perfluorocarbon-based total liquid ventilation (TLV) system would improve resuscitation success in a swine model of asphyxial cardiac arrest/PEA. METHODS Twenty swine were randomly assigned to control (C, no ventilation, n=11) or TLV with pre-cooled PFC (n=9) groups. Asphyxia was induced by insertion of a stopper into the endotracheal tube, and continued in both groups until loss of aortic pulsations (LOAP) was reached, defined as a pulse pressure less than 2mmHg. The TLV animals underwent asphyxial arrest for an additional 2min after LOAP, followed by 3min of hypothermia, prior to starting CPR. The C animals underwent 5min of asphyxia beyond LOAP. Both groups then underwent CPR for at least 10min. The endpoint was the resumption of spontaneous circulation maintained for 10min. RESULTS Seven of 9 animals achieved resumption of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the TLV group vs. 5 of 11 in the C group (p=0.2). The mean pulmonary arterial temperature was lower in total liquid ventilation animals starting 4min after induction of hypothermia (TLV 36.3+/-0.2 degrees C vs. C 38.1+/-0.2 degrees C, p<0.0001). Arterial P(O)(2) was higher in total liquid ventilation animals at 2.5min of CPR (TLV 76+/-12mmHg vs. C 44+/-2mmHg; p=0.03). CONCLUSION Induction of moderate hypothermia using perfluorocarbon-based total liquid ventilation did not improve ROSC success in this model of asphyxial cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Despite many years of research, outcome after cardiac arrest is dismal. Since 2005, the European Resuscitation Council recommends in its guidelines the use of mild therapeutic hypothermia (32-34 degrees) for 12 to 24 hours in patients successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest. The benefit of resuscitative mild hypothermia (induced after resuscitation) is well established, while the benefit of preservative mild to moderate hypothermia (induced during cardiac arrest) needs further investigation before recommending it for clinical routine. Animal data and limited human data suggest that early and fast cooling might be essential for the beneficial effect of resuscitative mild hypothermia. Out-of-hospital cooling has been shown to be feasible and safe by means of intravenous infusion with cold fluids or non-invasively with cooling pads. A combination of these cooling methods might further improve cooling efficacy. If out-of-hospital cooling will further improve functional outcome as compared with in-hospital cooling needs to be determined in a prospective, randomised, sufficiently powered clinical trial.
