Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: The high mortality rates of patients who are resuscitated from cardiac arrest (CA) are attributed to post cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). This study evaluated the effect of hyperoxygenation and targeted temperature management (TTM) on PCAS in rats with different causes of CA. Methods and Results: One hundred sixty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into asphyxial and dysrhythmic groups. Animals were further randomized into four subgroups immediately after resuscitation: normoxia-normothermia (NO-NT), ventilated with 21% oxygen under normothermia; hyperoxia-normothermia (HO-NT), ventilated with 100% oxygen for 3 hours under normothermia; normoxia-hypothermia (NO-HT), ventilated with 21% oxygen for 3 hours under hypothermia; and hyperoxia-hypothermia (HO-HT), ventilated with 100% oxygen for 3 hours under hypothermia. Post resuscitation cardiac dysfunction, neurological recovery, and pathological analysis were assessed. For asphyxial CA, HO-NT and HO-HT (68.8% and 75.0%) had significantly higher survival than NO-NT and NO-HT (31.3% and 31.3%). For dysrhythmic CA, NO-HT and HO-HT (81.3% and 87.5%) had significantly higher survival than NO-NT and HO-NT (44.0% and 50.0%). When all of the rats were considered, the survival rate was much higher in HO-HT (81.3%). Compared with NO-NT (57.7% ± 14.9% and 40.3% ± 7.8%), the collagen volume fraction and the proportion of fluoro-jade B-positive area in HO-HT (14.0% ± 5.7% and 28.0% ± 13.3%) were significantly reduced. Conclusion: The beneficial effects of hyperoxygenation and TTM are dependent on the cause of arrest: hyperoxygenation benefits asphyxial, whereas TTM benefits dysrhythmic CA. The combination of hyperoxygenation and TTM could effectively improve the functional outcome of PCAS regardless of the cause of CA.

Abstract
Excess oxygen (O2) levels may have a stimulating effect, but in the long term, and at high concentrations of O2, it is harmful to the nervous system. The hippocampus is very sensitive to pathophysiological changes and altered O2 concentrations can interfere with hippocampus-dependent learning and memory functions. In this study, we investigated the hyperoxia-induced changes in the rat hippocampus to evaluate the short-term effect of mild and severe hyperoxia. Wistar male rats were randomly divided into control (21% O2), mild hyperoxia (30% O2), and severe hyperoxia groups (100% O2). The O2 exposure lasted for 60 min. Multi-channel silicon probes were used to study network oscillations and firing properties of hippocampal putative inhibitory and excitatory neurons. Neural damage was assessed using the Gallyas silver impregnation method. Mild hyperoxia (30% O2) led to the formation of moderate numbers of silver-impregnated "dark" neurons in the hippocampus. On the other hand, exposure to 100% O2 was associated with a significant increase in the number of "dark" neurons located mostly in the hilus. The peak frequency of the delta oscillation decreased significantly in both mild and severe hyperoxia in urethane anesthetized rats. Compared to normoxia, the firing activity of pyramidal neurons under hyperoxia increased while it was more heterogeneous in putative interneurons in the cornu ammonis area 1 (CA1) and area 3 (CA3). These results indicate that short-term hyperoxia can change the firing properties of hippocampal neurons and network oscillations and damage neurons. Therefore, the use of elevated O2 concentration inhalation in hospitals (i.e., COVID treatment and surgery) and in various non-medical scenarios (i.e., airplane emergency O2 masks, fire-fighters, and high altitude trekkers) must be used with extreme caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supplemental oxygen is commonly administered to patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, the findings from studies on oxygen targeting for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are inconclusive. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of lower oxygen target compared with higher oxygen target on patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, from inception to February 6, 2023, for randomized controlled trials comparing lower and higher oxygen target in adults (aged ≥ 18 years) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We screened studies and extracted data independently. The primary outcome was mortality at 90 days after cardiac arrest. We assessed quality of evidence using the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation approach. This study was registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42023409368. RESULTS The analysis included 7 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1451 participants. Compared with lower oxygen target, the use of a higher oxygen target was not associated with a higher mortality rate (relative risk 0.97, 95% confidence intervals 0.82 to 1.14; I2 = 25%). Findings were robust to trial sequential, subgroup, and sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSION Lower oxygen target did not reduce the mortality compared with higher oxygen target in patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Characteristics of sublingual microcirculatory changes during the early postoperative period following cardiopulmonary bypass-assisted cardiac surgery-a prospective cohort study. J Thorac Dis 2022; 14:3992-4002. [PMID: 36389306 PMCID: PMC9641360 DOI: 10.21037/jtd-22-1159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistent microcirculatory dysfunction associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Interventions in the early resuscitation can be tailored to the changes of microcirculation and patient's need. However, there is usually an uncoupling of macrocirculatory and microcirculatory hemodynamics during resuscitation. Current research on the patterns of microcirculatory changes and recovery after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted cardiac surgery is limited. This study aimed to analyze changes in the microcirculatory parameters after CPB and their correlation with macrocirculation and to explore the characteristics of microcirculatory changes following CPB-assisted cardiac surgery. METHODS Between December 2018 and January 2019, 24 adult patients with indwelling pulmonary artery catheters after elective cardiac surgery using CPB were enrolled in this study. Both microcirculatory and macrocirculatory parameters were collected at 0, 6, 16, and 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Video images of sublingual microcirculation were analyzed to obtain the microcirculatory parameters, including total vascular density (TVD), perfused small vessel density (PSVD), the proportion of perfused small vessels (PPV), microvascular flow index (MFI), and flow heterogeneity index (HI). The characteristics of microcirculatory parameter change following cardiac surgery and the correlation between microcirculatory parameters and macroscopic hemodynamic indicators, oxygen metabolic indicators, and carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (PCO2gap) were analyzed. RESULTS There were significant differences in the changes of TVD (P=0.012) and PSVD (P=0.005) during the first 24 hours postoperatively in patients who underwent CPB-assisted cardiac surgery. The microcirculatory density parameters (TVD: r=-0.5059, P=0.0456; PVD: r=-0.5499, P=0.0273) were correlated with oxygen delivery index (DO2I) at 24 hours after surgery. The microcirculatory flow parameters (PPV: r=0.4370, P=0.0327; MFI: r=0.6496, P=0.0006; and HI: r=-0.5350, P=0.0071) had a strong correlation with PCO2gap at 0 hour after surgery. CONCLUSIONS TVD and PSVD might be two most sensitive indicators affected by CPB-assisted cardiac surgery. There was no consistency between microcirculation and macrocirculation until 24 hours following cardiac surgery, meaning the improvement of systemic hemodynamic indicators does not guarantee correspondently improvement in microcirculation. Early controlled oxygen supply after CPB-assisted cardiac surgery may be conducive to the resuscitation of patients to a certain extent.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of dynamic changes in arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) measured after the start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This prospective observational study was conducted at the emergency department of a university hospital from February 2018 to February 2020. All blood samples for gas analysis were collected from a radial or femoral arterial line, which was inserted during CPR. Changes in ABGA parameters were expressed as delta (Δ), defined as the values of the second ABGA minus the values of the initial ABGA. The primary outcome was sustained ROSC. Out of the 80 patients included in the analysis, 13 achieved sustained ROSC after in-hospital resuscitation. Multivariable logistic analysis revealed that ΔpaO2 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.023; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.004–1.043, p = 0.020) along with prehospital shockable rhythm (OR = 84.680; 95% CI = 2.561–2799.939, p = 0.013) and total resuscitation duration (OR = 0.881; 95% CI = 0.805–0.964, p = 0.006) were significant predictors for sustained ROSC. Our study suggests a possible association between ΔpaO2 in ABGA during CPR and an increased rate of sustained ROSC in the late phase of OHCA.

Abstract
Airway obstruction and respiratory failure are common complications of neurological emergencies. Anesthesia is often employed for airway management, surgical and endovascular interventions or in the intensive care units in patients with altered mental status or those requiring burst suppression. This article provides a summary of the unique airway management and anesthesia considerations and controversies for neurologic emergencies in general, as well as for specific commonly encountered conditions: elevated intracranial pressure, neuromuscular respiratory failure, acute ischemic stroke, and acute cervical spinal cord injury.

Abstract
Background Cardiac arrest (CA) can induce oxidative stress after resuscitation, which causes cellular and organ damage. We hypothesized that post‐resuscitation normoxic therapy would protect organs against oxidative stress and improve oxygen metabolism and survival. We tested the oxygen‐sensitive reactive oxygen species from mitochondria to determine the association with hyperoxia‐induced oxidative stress. Methods and Results Sprague–Dawley rats were subjected to 10‐minute asphyxia‐induced CA with a fraction of inspired O2 of 0.3 or 1.0 (normoxia versus hyperoxia, respectively) after resuscitation. The survival rate at 48 hours was higher in the normoxia group than in the hyperoxia group (77% versus 28%, P<0.01), and normoxia gave a lower neurological deficit score (359±140 versus 452±85, P<0.05) and wet to dry weight ratio (4.6±0.4 versus 5.6±0.5, P<0.01). Oxidative stress was correlated with increased oxygen levels: normoxia resulted in a significant decrease in oxidative stress across multiple organs and lower oxygen consumption resulting in normalized respiratory quotient (0.81±0.05 versus 0.58±0.03, P<0.01). After CA, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species increased by ≈2‐fold under hyperoxia. Heme oxygenase expression was also oxygen‐sensitive, but it was paradoxically low in the lung after CA. In contrast, the HMGB‐1 (high mobility group box‐1) protein was not oxygen‐sensitive and was induced by CA. Conclusions Post‐resuscitation normoxic therapy attenuated the oxidative stress in multiple organs and improved post‐CA organ injury, oxygen metabolism, and survival. Additionally, post‐CA hyperoxia increased the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and activated the antioxidation system.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in the management of post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS), the survival rate, without neurologic sequelae after resuscitation, remains very low. Whole-body ischemia, followed by reperfusion after cardiac arrest (CA), contributes to PCAS, for which established pharmaceutical interventions are still lacking. It has been shown that a number of different processes can ultimately lead to neuronal injury and cell death in the pathology of PCAS, including vasoconstriction, protein modification, impaired mitochondrial respiration, cell death signaling, inflammation, and excessive oxidative stress. Recently, the pathophysiological effects of inhaled gases including nitric oxide (NO), molecular hydrogen (H2), and xenon (Xe) have attracted much attention. Herein, we summarize recent literature on the application of NO, H2, and Xe for treating PCAS. Recent basic and clinical research has shown that these gases have cytoprotective effects against PCAS. Nevertheless, there are likely differences in the mechanisms by which these gases modulate reperfusion injury after CA. Further preclinical and clinical studies examining the combinations of standard post-CA care and inhaled gas treatment to prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury are warranted to improve outcomes in patients who are being failed by our current therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inhalation of noble and other gases after cardiac arrest (CA) might improve neurological and cardiac outcomes. This article discusses up-to-date information on this novel therapeutic intervention. DATA SOURCES CENTRAL, MEDLINE, online published abstracts from conference proceedings, clinical trial registry clinicaltrials.gov, and reference lists of relevant papers were systematically searched from January 1960 till March 2019. STUDY SELECTION Preclinical and clinical studies, irrespective of their types or described outcomes, were included. DATA EXTRACTION Abstract screening, study selection, and data extraction were performed by two independent authors. Due to the paucity of human trials, risk of bias assessment was not performed DATA SYNTHESIS: After screening 281 interventional studies, we included an overall of 27. Only, xenon, helium, hydrogen, and nitric oxide have been or are being studied on humans. Xenon, nitric oxide, and hydrogen show both neuroprotective and cardiotonic features, while argon and hydrogen sulfide seem neuroprotective, but not cardiotonic. Most gases have elicited neurohistological protection in preclinical studies; however, only hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide appeared to preserve CA1 sector of hippocampus, the most vulnerable area in the brain for hypoxia. CONCLUSION Inhalation of certain gases after CPR appears promising in mitigating neurological and cardiac damage and may become the next successful neuroprotective and cardiotonic interventions.

Abstract
Background Oxygen plays a pivotal role in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and postresuscitation intervention for cardiac arrest. However, the optimal method to reoxygenate patients has not been determined. This study investigated the effect of timing of hyperoxygenation on neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest/CPR rats treated with targeted temperature management. Methods and Results After induction of ventricular fibrillation, male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 4 groups (n=16/group): (1) normoxic control; (2) O2_CPR, ventilated with 100% O2 during CPR; (3) O2_CPR+postresuscitation, ventilated with 100% O2 during CPR and the first 3 hours of postresuscitation; and (4) O2_postresuscitation, ventilated with 100% O2 during the first 3 hours of postresuscitation. Targeted temperature management was induced immediately after resuscitation and maintained for 3 hours in all animals. Postresuscitation hemodynamics, neurological recovery, and pathological analysis were assessed. Brain tissues of additional rats undergoing the same experimental procedure were harvested for ELISA-based quantification assays of oxidative stress-related biomarkers and compared with the sham-operated rats (n=6/group). We found that postresuscitation mean arterial pressure and quantitative electroencephalogram activity were significantly increased, whereas astroglial protein S100B, degenerated neurons, oxidative stress-related biomarkers, and neurologic deficit scores were significantly reduced in the O2_CPR+postresuscitation group compared with the normoxic control group. In addition, 96-hour survival rates were significantly improved in all of the hyperoxygenation groups. Conclusions In this cardiac arrest/CPR rat model, hyperoxygenation coupled with targeted temperature management attenuates ischemia/reperfusion-induced injuries and improves survival rates. The beneficial effects of high-concentration oxygen are timing and duration dependent. Hyperoxygenation commenced with CPR, which improves outcomes when administered during hypothermia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to extreme arterial partial pressures of oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) following the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is common and may affect neurological outcome but results of previous studies are conflicting. METHODS Exploratory study of the International Cardiac Arrest Registry (INTCAR) 2.0 database, including 2162 OHCA patients with ROSC in 22 intensive care units in North America and Europe. We tested the hypothesis that exposure to extreme PaO2 or PaCO2 values within 24 h after OHCA is associated with poor neurological outcome at discharge. Our primary analyses investigated the association between extreme PaO2 and PaCO2 values, defined as hyperoxemia (PaO2 > 40 kPa), hypoxemia (PaO2 < 8.0 kPa), hypercapnemia (PaCO2 > 6.7 kPa) and hypocapnemia (PaCO2 < 4.0 kPa) and neurological outcome. The secondary analyses tested the association between the exposure combinations of PaO2 > 40 kPa with PaCO2 < 4.0 kPa and PaO2 8.0-40 kPa with PaCO2 > 6.7 kPa and neurological outcome. To define a cut point for the onset of poor neurological outcome, we tested a model with increasing and decreasing PaO2 levels and decreasing PaCO2 levels. Cerebral Performance Category (CPC), dichotomized to good (CPC 1-2) and poor (CPC 3-5) was used as outcome measure. RESULTS Of 2135 patients eligible for analysis, 700 were exposed to hyperoxemia or hypoxemia and 1128 to hypercapnemia or hypocapnemia. Our primary analyses did not reveal significant associations between exposure to extreme PaO2 or PaCO2 values and neurological outcome (P = 0.13-0.49). Our secondary analyses showed no significant associations between combinations of PaO2 and PaCO2 and neurological outcome (P = 0.11-0.86). There was no PaO2 or PaCO2 level significantly associated with poor neurological outcome. All analyses were adjusted for relevant co-variates. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to extreme PaO2 or PaCO2 values in the first 24 h after OHCA was common, but not independently associated with neurological outcome at discharge.

Abstract
The European Resuscitation Guidelines recommend that survivors of cardiac arrest (CA) be resuscitated with 100% O2 and undergo subsequent-post-return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)-reduction of O2 supply to prevent hyperoxia. Hyperoxia produces a "second neurotoxic hit," which, together with the initial ischemic insult, causes ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, heterogeneous results from animal studies suggest that normoxia can also be detrimental. One clear reason for these inconsistent results is the considerable heterogeneity of the models used. In this study, the histological outcome of the hippocampal CA1 region following resuscitation with 100% O2 combined with different post-ROSC ventilation regimes (21%, 50%, and 100% O2) was investigated in a rat CA/resuscitation model with survival times of 7 and 21 days. Immunohistochemical stainings of NeuN, MAP2, GFAP, and IBA1 revealed a neuroprotective potency of post-ROSC ventilation with 21% O2, although it was only temporary. This limitation should be because of the post-ROSC intervention targeting only processes of ischemia-induced secondary injury. There were no ventilation-dependent effects on either microglial activation, reduction of which is accepted as being neuroprotective, or astroglial activation, which is accepted as being able to enhance neurons' resistance to ischemia/reperfusion injury. Furthermore, our findings verify the limited comparability of animal studies because of the individual heterogeneity of the animals, experimental regimes, and evaluation procedures used.

Abstract
Objective Exposure to hyperoxemia and hypoxemia is common in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), but its effects on neurological outcome are uncertain, and study results are inconsistent. Methods Exploratory post hoc substudy of the Target Temperature Management (TTM) trial, including 939 patients after OHCA with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The association between serial arterial partial pressures of oxygen (PaO2) during 37 h following ROSC and neurological outcome at 6 months, evaluated by Cerebral Performance Category (CPC), dichotomized to good (CPC 1–2) and poor (CPC 3–5), was investigated. In our analyses, we tested the association of hyperoxemia and hypoxemia, time-weighted mean PaO2, maximum PaO2 difference, and gradually increasing PaO2 levels (13.3–53.3 kPa) with poor neurological outcome. A subsequent analysis investigated the association between PaO2 and a biomarker of brain injury, peak serum Tau levels. Results Eight hundred sixty-nine patients were eligible for analysis. Three hundred patients (35%) were exposed to hyperoxemia or hypoxemia at some time point after ROSC. Our analyses did not reveal a significant association between hyperoxemia, hypoxemia, time-weighted mean PaO2 exposure or maximum PaO2 difference and poor neurological outcome at 6-month follow-up after correction for co-variates (all analyses p = 0.146–0.847). We were not able to define a PaO2 level significantly associated with the onset of poor neurological outcome. Peak serum Tau levels at either 48 or 72 h after ROSC were not associated with PaO2. Conclusion Hyperoxemia or hypoxemia exposure occurred in one third of the patients during the first 37 h of hospitalization and was not significantly associated with poor neurological outcome after 6 months or with the peak s-Tau levels at either 48 or 72 h after ROSC.

Abstract
Background Hyperoxia following out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with a poor outcome. Animal data suggest the first hour post resuscitation may be the most important. In the UK the first hour usually occurs in the prehospital environment. Methods A prospective controlled trial, cluster randomised by paramedic, comparing titrated oxygen with 100% oxygen for the first hour after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following OHCA. The trial was done in a single emergency medical services (EMS) system in the United Kingdom (UK) admitting patients to three emergency departments. This was a feasibility trial to determine whether EMS staff (UK paramedics) can be successfully recruited and deliver the intervention. Results One hundred and fifty seven paramedics were approached and 46 (29%) were consented, randomised and trained. During the study period 624 patients received a resuscitation attempt. A study paramedic was in attendance at 73 (12%) of these active resuscitations. Thirty-five patients were recruited to the trial, 32 (91%) were transported to hospital and 13 (37%) survived to 90 days. The intervention was initiated in 27/35 (77%) of enrolled patients. A reliable oxygen saturation trace was obtained in 22/35 (69%) of patients. Data collection was complete in 33/35 (94%) of patients. Conclusions It may be feasible to complete a randomised trial of titrated versus unrestricted oxygen in the first hour after ROSC following OHCA in the UK. However, the relatively few eligible patients and incomplete initiation of the allocated intervention are challenges to future research.

Abstract
The objectives were to investigate if after hypoxia or ischemia, normoxic reperfusion is associated with less oxidant stress (OS), inflammation, and myocardial injury than hyperoxic reperfusion. In this study, cardiomyocytes (H9c2 cells) were cultured in hypoxia, followed by reoxygenation in normoxia or hyperoxia. Cardiomyocyte OS, inflammation, and apoptosis were measured. In parallel experiments, rabbits were cannulated for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Following cardioplegic arrest and aortic cross-clamp removal, hearts were reperfused under normoxic or hyperoxic conditions. Left ventricular developed pressure and contractility (LV +dP/dt) were recorded, and blood samples and heart tissues were collected for measurement of OS, inflammation, and cardiac injury. Results showed that H9c2 cells exposed to hyperoxic reoxygenation showed significant increases in OS, inflammation, and apoptosis compared to normoxic reoxygenation. Following CPB and 2-hour hyperoxic reperfusion, LV +dP/dt and left ventricular developed pressure were significantly decreased compared with pre-CPB values (to 36 ± 21%, P = 0.002; and 53 ± 20%, P = 0.02, respectively), associated with significant increases in all plasma and tissue biomarkers for OS, inflammation, and myocardial injury. In contrast, LV +dP/dt was relatively well preserved under normoxic reperfusion conditions (to 70 ± 14% after 2-hour reperfusion), and was associated with an attenuated myocardial OS, inflammatory, apoptotic, and injury response compared to the hyperoxia group (eg, cTn-I: 5.9 ± 1.5 vs 20.2 ± 7.6 ng/mL, respectively, P < 0.0001). Overall, in both in vitro and in vivo experiments, normoxic reperfusion/reoxygenation was associated with less robust OS, inflammation, apoptosis, and myocardial injury compared with hyperoxic reperfusion/reoxygenation. These results suggest that hyperoxia should be avoided to minimize myocardial OS, inflammation, and ventricular dysfunction after CPB.

Abstract
Airway management and ventilation are central to the resuscitation of the neurologically ill. These patients often have evolving processes that threaten the airway and adequate ventilation. Furthermore, intubation, ventilation, and sedative choices directly affect brain perfusion. Therefore, Airway, Ventilation, and Sedation was chosen as an Emergency Neurological Life Support protocol. Topics include airway management, when and how to intubate with special attention to hemodynamics and preservation of cerebral blood flow, mechanical ventilation settings and the use of sedative agents based on the patient's neurological status.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of gastrodin (GAS) on myocardial cells with hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in neonatal rats and explore the underlying mechanism.
Methods
Myocardial cells were extracted from neonatal rats and divided into six groups: control, H/R, H/R + Low-Concentration GAS, H/R + Middle-Concentration GAS, H/R + High-Concentration GAS and H/R + High-Concentration GAS + AKT Inhibitor groups. After 48-h treatment, cell viability, autophagosome quantity and the expression levels of LC3-II, p62, Akt, pAkt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and uncoordinated 51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) in myocardial cells were made comparisons among each group.
Key findings
Gastrodin improved the proliferation activity of myocardial cells under H/R injury in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited the level of cell autophagy. However, when AKT inhibitor was added, the effect of GAS was partly inhibited (P < 0.05). Gene and protein expressions showed that GAS made no significant effect on the expression quantity of Akt and mTOR genes (P > 0.05) but could significantly promote the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR (P < 0.05). GAS had significant inhibiting effect on the expression of ULK1 (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
Gastrodin could protect against H/R injury of myocardial cells in neonatal rats by reducing the level of autophagy through the activation of mTOR signals in PI3K-Akt pathway.

Sodium Ferulate Protects against Angiotensin II-Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy in Mice by Regulating the MAPK/ERK and JNK Pathways. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:3754942. [PMID: 28164119 PMCID: PMC5259600 DOI: 10.1155/2017/3754942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2016] [Revised: 10/18/2016] [Accepted: 11/02/2016] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objective. It has been reported that sodium ferulate (SF) has hematopoietic function against anemia and immune regulation, inflammatory reaction inhibition, inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection, and other functions. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of SF on angiotensin II- (AngII-) induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice through the MAPK/ERK and JNK signaling pathways. Methods. Seventy-two male C57BL/6J mice were selected and divided into 6 groups: control group, PBS group, model group (AngII), model + low-dose SF group (AngII + 10 mg/kg SF), model + high-dose SF group (AngII + 40 mg/kg SF), and model + high-dose SF + agonist group (AngII + 40 mg/kg SCU + 10 mg/kg TBHQ). After 7 d/14 d/28 days of treatments, the changes of blood pressure and heart rates of mice were compared. The morphology of myocardial tissue and the apoptosis rate of myocardial cells were observed. The mRNA and protein expressions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), collagen III (Col III), and MAPK/ERK and JNK pathway-related proteins were detected after 28 days of treatments. Results. SF improved the mice's cardiac abnormality and decreased the apoptosis rate of myocardial cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner (all P < 0.05). MAPK/ERK pathway activator inhibited the protective effect of SF in myocardial tissue of mice (P < 0.05). SF could inhibit the expression of p-ERK, p-p38MAPK, and p-JNK and regulate the expressions of ANP, TGF-β, and Col III (all P < 0.05). Conclusion. Our findings provide evidence that SF could protect against AngII-induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice by downregulating the MAPK/ERK and JNK pathways.

Abstract
Patients with acute neurologic disease often develop respiratory failure, the management of which profoundly affects brain physiology and long-term functional outcomes. This chapter reviews airway management and mechanical ventilation of patients with acute brain injury, offering practical strategies to optimize treatment of respiratory failure and minimize secondary brain injury. Specific concerns that are addressed include physiologic changes during intubation and ventilation such as the effects on intracranial pressure and brain perfusion; cervical spine management during endotracheal intubation; the role of tracheostomy; and how ventilation and oxygenation are utilized to minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury and cerebral metabolic distress.

Abstract
Airway management and ventilation are central to the resuscitation of the neurologically ill. These patients often have evolving processes that threaten the airway and adequate ventilation. Furthermore, intubation, ventilation, and sedative choices directly affect brain perfusion. Therefore, airway, ventilation, and sedation was chosen as an emergency neurological life support protocol. Topics include airway management, when and how to intubate with special attention to hemodynamics and preservation of cerebral blood flow, mechanical ventilation settings, and the use of sedative agents based on the patient's neurological status.

Abstract
A number of observational studies have evaluated the association between arterial oxygen tensions and outcome after cardiac arrest with variable results. The objective of this study is to determine the association between arterial oxygen tension and neurological outcome after cardiac arrest. A retrospective cohort analysis was performed using the Penn Alliance for Therapeutic Hypothermia registry. Adult patients who experienced return of spontaneous circulation after in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and had a partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) recorded within 48 hours were included. Our primary exposure of interest was PaO2. Hyperoxemia was defined as PaO2 > 300 mmHg, hypoxemia as PaO2 < 60 mmHg, and optimal oxygenation as PaO2 60-300 mmHg. The primary outcome was neurological function at hospital discharge among survivors, as described by the cerebral performance category (CPC) score, dichotomized into "favorable" (CPCs 1-2) and "unfavorable" (CPCs 3-5). Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality. A total of 544 patients from 13 institutions were included. Average age was 61 years, 56% were male, and 51% were white. A total of 64% experienced OHCA, 81% of arrests were witnessed, and pulseless electrical activity was the most common initial rhythm (40%). More than 72% of the patients had cardiac etiology for their arrests, and 55% underwent targeted temperature management. A total of 38% of patients survived to hospital discharge. There was no significant association between PaO2 at any time interval and neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Hyperoxemia at 12 hours after cardiac arrest was associated with decreased odds of survival (OR 0.17 [0.03-0.89], p = 0.032). There was no significant association between arterial oxygen tension measured within the first 48 hours after cardiac arrest and neurological outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lipid peroxidation induced by free-radical species plays a prominent role in myocardial injury following ischemia and reperfusion. However, there is a lack of data in different oxygen concentrations on myocardial lipid peroxidation during the early phase of reperfusion. In this study, we investigated whether ventilation with medium or normal concentration of oxygen would decrease the severity of myocardial lipid peroxidation and postresuscitation myocardial dysfunction. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled experimental study. SETTING University-affiliated animal research institution. SUBJECTS Sixty-three healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS Animals were randomized into three groups: 1) 100% group, 2) 50% group, and 3) 21% group. Ventricular fibrillation was induced and untreated for 8 minutes, and defibrillation was attempted after 8 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Ventilation with 100%, 50%, or 21% oxygen was initiated in all groups during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and 1 hour following the return of spontaneous circulation. Normoxic ventilation was maintained thereafter. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Myocardial function, including ejection fraction and myocardial performance index, were measured at baseline, 4, or 72 hours after resuscitation. Blood samples were drawn at baseline, 15 minutes, 1, 4, or 72 hours after resuscitation for the measurements of blood gas or biomarkers. Significantly better myocardial function and longer duration of survival were observed in the 50% group. Compared with the 21% and 100% groups, a mild hyperoxia and greater oxygen extraction with lower 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α were observed in the 50% group. Pearson correlation analysis confirmed that 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α was positively correlated with myocardial performance index at 4 hours postresuscitation. CONCLUSIONS In a rat model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation, ventilation with 50% inspired oxygen during early postischemic reperfusion phase contributed to a decreased lipid peroxidation and a better myocardial function and duration of survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients experience additional injuries, including those that result in hemorrhagic shock (HS). Interactions between HS and TBI can include reduced brain O2 delivery, resulting in partial cerebral ischemia and worse neurologic outcome. This study tested the hypothesis that inspiration of 100% O2 during resuscitation following TBI and HS improves survival, reduces brain lesion volume, and improves neurologic outcome compared with resuscitation in the absence of supplemental O2. METHODS The adult male rat polytrauma model consisted of controlled cortical impact-induced TBI followed by 30 minutes of HS (mean arterial pressure, 35-40 mm Hg) induced by blood withdrawal. The HS phase was followed by a 1-hour "prehospital" Hextend fluid resuscitation phase and then a 1-hour "hospital phase" when shed blood was reinfused. Rats were randomized on the day of surgery to three groups with 10 per group: sham, polytrauma normoxic, and polytrauma hyperoxic. Normoxic animals inspired room air, and hyperoxic animals inspired 100% O2 during both resuscitation phases. Neurobehavioral tests were conducted weekly until the rats were perfused with fixative at 30 days after injury. Brain sections were stained with Fluoro Jade B and used for quantification of contusion, penumbral, and healthy cortical volumes. RESULTS Survival was greater following hyperoxic compared with normoxic resuscitation. Composite neuroscores obtained at 2 weeks to 4 weeks following hyperoxic resuscitation were lower than those of shams. Balance beam foot faults measured at 2 weeks after injury were greater following hyperoxic resuscitation compared with normoxic resuscitation and those of shams. There was no significant difference in cerebrocortical pathology between the normoxic and hyperoxic polytrauma groups. CONCLUSION The survival of rats following controlled cortical impact plus HS was greater following hyperoxic resuscitation. In contrast, neurologic outcomes were better following normoxic resuscitation.

Abstract
Oxygen is one of the most frequently-used therapeutic agents in medicine and the most commonly administered drug by prehospital personnel. There is increasing evidence of harm with too much supplemental oxygen in certain conditions, including stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neonatal resuscitations, and in postresuscitation care. Recent guidelines published by the British Thoracic Society (BTS) advocate titrated oxygen therapy, but these guidelines have not been widely adapted in the out-of-hospital setting where high-flow oxygen is the standard. This report is a description of the implementation of a titrated oxygen protocol in a large urban-suburban Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system and a discussion of the practical application of this out-of-hospital protocol.

Abstract
Neurocognitive deficits are a major source of morbidity in survivors of cardiac arrest. Treatment options that could be implemented either during cardiopulmonary resuscitation or after return of spontaneous circulation to improve these neurological deficits are limited. We conducted a literature review of treatment protocols designed to evaluate neurologic outcome and survival following cardiac arrest with associated global cerebral ischemia. The search was limited to investigational therapies that were utilized to treat global cerebral ischemia associated with cardiac arrest. In this review we discuss potential mechanisms of neurologic protection following cardiac arrest including actions of several medical gases such as xenon, argon, and nitric oxide. The 3 included mechanisms are: 1. Modulation of neuronal cell death; 2. Alteration of oxygen free radicals; and 3. Improving cerebral hemodynamics. Only a few approaches have been evaluated in limited fashion in cardiac arrest patients and results show inconclusive neuroprotective effects. Future research focusing on combined neuroprotective strategies that target multiple pathways are compelling in the setting of global brain ischemia resulting from cardiac arrest.

Oxygenation, ventilation, and airway management in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a review. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:376871.

Abstract
Recently published evidence has challenged some protocols related to oxygenation, ventilation, and airway management for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Interrupting chest compressions to attempt airway intervention in the early stages of OHCA in adults may worsen patient outcomes. The change of BLS algorithms from ABC to CAB was recommended by the AHA in 2010. Passive insufflation of oxygen into a patent airway may provide oxygenation in the early stages of cardiac arrest. Various alternatives to tracheal intubation or bag-mask ventilation have been trialled for prehospital airway management. Simple methods of airway management are associated with similar outcomes as tracheal intubation in patients with OHCA. The insertion of a laryngeal mask airway is probably associated with worse neurologically intact survival rates in comparison with other methods of airway management. Hyperoxemia following OHCA may have a deleterious effect on the neurological recovery of patients. Extracorporeal oxygenation techniques have been utilized by specialized centers, though their use in OHCA remains controversial. Chest hyperinflation and positive airway pressure may have a negative impact on hemodynamics during resuscitation and should be avoided. Dyscarbia in the postresuscitation period is relatively common, mainly in association with therapeutic hypothermia, and may worsen neurological outcome.

Abstract
AIM As recent clinical data suggest a harmful effect of arterial hyperoxia on patients after resuscitation from cardiac arrest (CA), we aimed to investigate this association during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the earliest and one of the most crucial phases of recirculation. METHODS We analysed 1015 patients who from 2003 to 2010 underwent out-of-hospital CPR administered by emergency medical services serving 300,000 inhabitants. Inclusion criteria for further analysis were nontraumatic background of CA and patients >18 years of age. One hundred and forty-five arterial blood gas analyses including oxygen partial pressure (paO2) measurement were obtained during CPR. RESULTS We observed a highly significant increase in hospital admission rates associated with increases in paO2 in steps of 100 mmHg (13.3 kPa). Subsequently, data were clustered according to previously described cutoffs (≤ 60 mmHg [8 kPa]], 61-300 mmHg [8.1-40 kPa], >300 mmHg [>40 kPa]). Baseline variables (age, sex, initial rhythm, rate of bystander CPR and collapse-to-CPR time) of the three compared groups did not differ significantly. Rates of hospital admission after CA were 18.8%, 50.6% and 83.3%, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, logistic regression revealed significant prognostic value for paO2 and the duration of CPR. CONCLUSION This study presents novel human data on the arterial paO2 during CPR in conjunction with the rate of hospital admission. We describe a significantly increased rate of hospital admission associated with increasing paO2. We found that the previously described potentially harmful effects of hyperoxia after return of spontaneous circulation were not reproduced for paO2 measured during CPR.

Abstract
PURPOSE Arterial hyperoxia after resuscitation has been associated with increased mortality in adults. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that post-resuscitation hyperoxia and hypocapnia are associated with increased mortality after resuscitation in pediatric patients. METHODS We performed a prospective observational multicenter hospital-based study including 223 children aged between 1 month and 18 years who achieved return of spontaneous circulation after in-hospital cardiac arrest and for whom arterial blood gas analysis data were available. RESULTS After return of spontaneous circulation, 8.5% of patients had hyperoxia (defined as PaO(2)>300 mm Hg) and 26.5% hypoxia (defined as PaO(2)<60 mm Hg). No statistical differences in mortality were observed when patients with hyperoxia (52.6%), hypoxia (42.4%), or normoxia (40.7%) (p=0.61). Hypocapnia (defined as PaCO(2)<30 mm Hg) was observed in 13.5% of patients and hypercapnia (defined as PaCO(2)>50 mm Hg) in 27.6%. Patients with hypercapnia or hypocapnia had significantly higher mortality (59.0% and 50.0%, respectively) than patients with normocapnia (33.1%) (p=0.002). At 24h after return of spontaneous circulation, neither PaO(2) nor PaCO(2) values were associated with mortality. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that hypercapnia (OR, 3.27; 95% CI, 1.62-6.61; p=0.001) and hypocapnia (OR, 2.71; 95% CI, 1.04-7.05; p=0.04) after return of spontaneous circulation were significant mortality factors. CONCLUSIONS In children resuscitated from cardiac arrest, hyperoxemia after return of spontaneous circulation or 24h later was not associated with mortality. On the other hand, hypercapnia and hypocapnia were associated with higher mortality than normocapnia.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia is a well-recognized contributor to high morbidity and mortality after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Standard of care treatment aims to maintain a sufficient oxygen supply to the brain by avoiding increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and ensuring a sufficient cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). Devices allowing direct assessment of brain tissue oxygenation have showed promising results in clinical studies, and their use was implemented in the Brain Trauma Foundation Guidelines for the treatment of TBI patients in 2007. Results of several studies suggest that a brain tissue oxygen-directed therapy guided by these monitors may contribute to reduced mortality and improved outcome of TBI patients. Whether increasing the oxygen supply to supraphysiological levels has beneficial or detrimental effects on TBI patients has been a matter of debate for decades. The results of trials of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) have failed to show a benefit, but renewed interest in normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) in the treatment of TBI patients has emerged in recent years. With the increased availability of advanced neuromonitoring devices such as brain tissue oxygen monitors, it was shown that some patients might benefit from this therapeutic approach. In this article, we review the pathophysiological rationale and technical modalities of brain tissue oxygen monitors, as well as its use in studies of brain tissue oxygen-directed therapy. Furthermore, we analyze hyperoxia as a treatment option in TBI patients, summarize the results of clinical trials, and give insights into the recent findings of hyperoxic effects on cerebral metabolism after TBI.

Resuscitation 2012; 83:417-22. [PMID: 22226734 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2011.12.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 132] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2011] [Revised: 11/22/2011] [Accepted: 12/20/2011] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
AIM There are conflicting findings from observational studies regarding the nature of the association between hyperoxia and risk of mortality in patients admitted to intensive care following cardiac arrest. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates animal data investigating the effect of administration of high concentrations of oxygen following cardiac arrest on neurological outcome and the clinical applicability of this data. METHODS A systematic search of Medline and Embase identified controlled animal studies modelling cardiac arrest with subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation that compared ventilation with 100% oxygen to lower concentrations following return of spontaneous circulation. Eligible studies were included in a meta-analysis in which the inverse variance weighted differences were calculated for the standardised mean difference of the primary outcome measure, the neurological deficit score. RESULTS Ten studies met the criteria for inclusion in the systematic review. In a meta-analysis of six studies, with 95 animals, treatment with 100% oxygen resulted in a significantly worse neurological deficit score than oxygen administered at lower concentrations, with a standardised mean difference of -0.64 (95% CI -1.06 to -0.22). In four of five studies, histological evidence of increased neuronal damage was present in animals that received 100% oxygen therapy. CONCLUSIONS The administration of 100% oxygen therapy is associated with worse neurological outcome than lower oxygen concentrations in animal models of cardiac arrest. However, due to limitations in study design and poor generalisability of the animal models to the situation of post cardiac arrest resuscitation in humans, the clinical applicability of this data is uncertain.

Abstract
Acute liver failure is a disorder which impacts on multiple organ systems and results from hepatocellular necrosis in a patient with no previous history of chronic liver disease. It typically culminates in the development of liver dysfunction, coagulopathy and encephalopathy, and is associated with high mortality in poor prognostic groups. In acute liver failure, some patients may develop cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure although recent data suggest that intracranial hypertension is less frequent than previously described, complicating 29% of acute cases who have proceeded to grade 3/4 coma. Neurological manifestations are primarily underpinned by the development of brain edema. The onset of encephalopathy can be rapid and dramatic with the development of asterixis, delirium, hyperreflexia, clonus, seizures, extensor posturing and coma. Ammonia plays a definitive role in the development of cytotoxic brain edema. Patients with acute liver failure have a marked propensity to develop renal insufficiency and hence impaired ammonia excretion. The incidence of both bacterial and fungal infection occurs in approximately one third of patients. The relationship between inflammation, as opposed to infection, and progression of encephalopathy is similar to that observed in chronic liver disease. Intracranial pressure monitoring is valuable in identifying surges in intracranial hypertension requiring intervention. Insertion of an intracranial bolt should be considered only in the subgroup of patients who have progressed to grade 4 coma. Risk factors for developing intracranial hypertension are those with hyperacute and acute etiologies, progression to grade 3/4 hepatic encephalopathy, those who develop pupillary abnormalities (dilated pupils, sluggishly responsive to light) or seizures, have systemic inflammation, an arterial ammonia >150 μmol/L, hyponatremia, and those in receipt of vasopressor support. Strategies employed in patients with established encephalopathy (grade 3/4) aim to maintain freedom from infection/inflammatory milieu, provide adequate sedation, and correct hypo-osmolality.

Abstract
Oxygen (O(2)) is the most frequently used pharmaceutical in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine: Every patient receives O(2) during surgery or during a stay in the intensive care unit. Hypoxia and hypoxemia of various origins are the most typical indications which are mentioned in the prescribing information of O(2): the goal of the administration of O(2) is either an increase of arterial O(2) partial pressure in order to treat hypoxia, or an increase of arterial O(2) content in order to treat hypoxemia. Most of the indications for O(2) administration were developed in former times and have seldom been questioned from that time on as the short-term side-effects of O(2) are usually considered to be of minor importance. As a consequence only a small number of controlled randomized studies exist, which can demonstrate the efficacy of O(2) in terms of evidence-based medicine. However, there is an emerging body of evidence that specific side-effects of O(2) result in a deterioration of the microcirculation. The administration of O(2) induces arteriolar constriction which will initiate a decline of regional O(2) delivery and subsequently a decline of tissue oxygenation. The aim of the manuscript presented is to discuss the significance of O(2) as a pharmaceutical in the clinical setting.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Treatment of cardiac arrest should focus on maximizing neurologic recovery as well as systemic recovery to ensure the best possible functional outcome. This article focuses on the neurologic care of patients after they have been resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Maximizing neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest requires attention to prevention of primary and secondary brain injury. Primary brain injury such as hypoperfusion and hypoxic injury should be avoided by optimizing hemodynamic goals to maximize cerebral perfusion and maintain normoxia and normocarbia. Secondary brain injury mediated by excitotoxicity and the inflammatory cascade may be mitigated by therapeutic hypothermia. Other strategies that may be beneficial include the treatment of seizures and maintaining normoglycemia. Finally, accurate and timely prognostication is crucial because it influences withdrawal of care and overall mortality. With the adoption of therapeutic hypothermia, the classic prognostic paradigm that was previously used needs to be reexamined. The application of our knowledge of risk factors for poor outcome, serial physical examinations, neurophysiological tests, neuroimaging, and biochemical markers may need to be delayed until after rewarming. We emphasize the importance of a shift in physicians' approach to the management of post-cardiac arrest syndrome, not only in prognostication, but also in the early and aggressive therapies that have been shown to improve survival and quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Brain injury is the leading cause of death in pediatric intensive care units, and improvements in therapy and in understanding the pathogenesis are urgently needed. This review presents recent advances in the understanding of neuroprotective therapy and brain-specific monitoring for critically ill pediatric patients. RECENT FINDINGS Two neuroprotective strategies are becoming increasingly accepted as they are applied to different mechanisms of brain injury. The rapid application of hypothermia and avoidance of hyperoxia after cardiac arrest and other brain injuries are each being more commonly used as both human and animal data advocating for these approaches accumulate. In addition, more advanced and noninvasive technologies are emerging that are designed to serve as surrogates for brain function and may be used to help predict outcome. Near-infrared spectroscopy is one such commonly used technique that has prompted many studies to understand how to incorporate it into practice. SUMMARY Protection of the pediatric brain from both a primary insult and the common subsequent secondary injury is essential for improving long-term neurologic outcomes. Whereas monitoring technology is being constantly modified, it must be proven efficacious in order to understand the utility of new and presumed neuroprotective therapies like hypothermia and avoidance of hyperoxia.
