Abstract
Background: Published evidence indicates that mean arterial pressure (MAP) below a goal range (hypotension) is associated with worse outcomes, though MAP management failures are common. We sought to characterize hypotension occurrences in ICUs and consider the implications for MAP management. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 3 hospitals' cohorts of adult ICU patients during continuous vasopressor infusion. Two cohorts were general, mixed ICU patients and one was exclusively acute spinal cord injury patients. "Hypotension-clusters" were defined where there were ≥10 min of cumulative hypotension over a 60-min period and "constant hypotension" was ≥10 continuous minutes. Trend analysis was performed (predicting future MAP using 14 min of preceding MAP data) to understand which hypotension-clusters could likely have been predicted by clinician awareness of MAP trends. Results: In cohorts of 155, 66, and 16 ICU stays, respectively, the majority of hypotension occurred within the hypotension-clusters. Failures to keep MAP above the hypotension threshold were notable in the bottom quartiles of each cohort, with hypotension durations of 436, 167, and 468 min, respectively, occurring within hypotension-clusters per day. Mean arterial pressure trend analysis identified most hypotension-clusters before any constant hypotension occurred (81.2%-93.6% sensitivity, range). The positive predictive value of hypotension predictions ranged from 51.4% to 72.9%. Conclusions: Across 3 cohorts, most hypotension occurred in temporal clusters of hypotension that were usually predictable from extrapolation of MAP trends.

Impact of Blood Pressure Targets in Patients With Heart Failure Undergoing Postresuscitation Care: A Subgroup Analysis From a Randomized Controlled Trial. Circ Heart Fail 2024; 17:e011437. [PMID: 38847097 DOI: 10.1161/circheartfailure.123.011437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the effect of targeting higher or lower blood pressure during postresucitation intensive care among comatose patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with a history of heart failure. METHODS The BOX trial (Blood Pressure and Oxygenation Targets After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest) was a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, multicenter study comparing titration of vasopressors toward a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 63 versus 77 mm Hg during postresuscitation intensive care. Patients with a history of heart failure were included in this substudy. Pulmonary artery catheters were inserted shortly after admission. History of heart failure was assessed through chart review of all included patients. The primary outcome was cardiac index during the first 72 hours. Secondary outcomes were left ventricular ejection fraction, heart rate, stroke volume, renal replacement therapy and all-cause mortality at 365 days. RESULTS A total of 134 patients (17% of the BOX cohort) had a history of heart failure (patients with left ventricular ejection fraction, ≤40%: 103 [77%]) of which 71 (53%) were allocated to a MAP of 77 mm Hg. Cardiac index at intensive care unit arrival was 1.77±0.11 L/min·m-2 in the MAP63-group and 1.78±0.17 L/min·m-2 in the MAP77, P=0.92. During the next 72 hours, the mean difference was 0.15 (95% CI, -0.04 to 0.35) L/min·m-2; Pgroup=0.22. Left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume was similar between the groups. Patients allocated to MAP77 had significantly elevated heart rate (mean difference 6 [1-12] beats/min, Pgroup=0.03). Vasopressor usage was also significantly increased (P=0.006). At 365 days, 69 (51%) of the patients had died. The adjusted hazard ratio for 365 day mortality was 1.38 (0.84-2.27), P=0.20 and adjusted odds ratio for renal replacement therapy was 2.73 (0.84-8.89; P=0.09). CONCLUSIONS In resuscitated patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with a history of heart failure, allocation to a higher blood pressure target resulted in significantly increased heart rate in the higher blood pressure-target group. However, no certain differences was found for cardiac index, left ventricular ejection fraction or stroke volume. REGISTRATION URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03141099.

Survival, but not the severity of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, is associated with higher mean arterial blood pressure after cardiac arrest: a retrospective cohort study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1337344.

Abstract
Background This study investigates the association between the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), vasopressor requirement, and severity of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after cardiac arrest (CA). Methods Between 2008 and 2017, we retrospectively analyzed the MAP 200 h after CA and quantified the vasopressor requirements using the cumulative vasopressor index (CVI). Through a postmortem brain autopsy in non-survivors, the severity of the HIE was histopathologically dichotomized into no/mild and severe HIE. In survivors, we dichotomized the severity of HIE into no/mild cerebral performance category (CPC) 1 and severe HIE (CPC 4). We investigated the regain of consciousness, causes of death, and 5-day survival as hemodynamic confounders. Results Among the 350 non-survivors, 117 had histopathologically severe HIE while 233 had no/mild HIE, without differences observed in the MAP (73.1 vs. 72.0 mmHg, pgroup = 0.639). Compared to the non-survivors, 211 patients with CPC 1 and 57 patients with CPC 4 had higher MAP values that showed significant, but clinically non-relevant, MAP differences (81.2 vs. 82.3 mmHg, pgroup < 0.001). The no/mild HIE non-survivors (n = 54), who regained consciousness before death, had higher MAP values compared to those with no/mild HIE (n = 179), who remained persistently comatose (74.7 vs. 69.3 mmHg, pgroup < 0.001). The no/mild HIE non-survivors, who regained consciousness, required fewer vasopressors (CVI 2.1 vs. 3.6, pgroup < 0.001). Independent of the severity of HIE, the survivors were weaned faster from vasopressors (CVI 1.0). Conclusions Although a higher MAP was associated with survival in CA patients treated with a vasopressor-supported MAP target above 65 mmHg, the severity of HIE was not. Awakening from coma was associated with less vasopressor requirements. Our results provide no evidence for a MAP target above the current guideline recommendations that can decrease the severity of HIE.

Prognostic implication of heart failure stage and left ventricular ejection fraction for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest: a 16-year retrospective cohort study. Clin Res Cardiol 2024:10.1007/s00392-024-02403-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA guidelines for the management of heart failure (HF) makes therapeutic recommendations based on HF status. We investigated whether the prognosis of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) could be stratified by HF stage and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS This single-center retrospective study analyzed the data of patients who experienced IHCA between 2005 and 2020. Based on admission diagnosis, past medical records, and pre-arrest echocardiography, patients were classified into general IHCA, at-risk for HF, pre-HF, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction or HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF-or-HFrEF) groups. RESULTS This study included 2,466 patients, including 485 (19.7%), 546 (22.1%), 863 (35.0%), 342 (13.9%), and 230 (9.3%) patients with general IHCA, at-risk for HF, pre-HF, HFpEF, and HFmrEF-or-HFrEF, respectively. A total of 405 (16.4%) patients survived to hospital discharge, with 228 (9.2%) patients achieving favorable neurological recovery. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that pre-HF and HFpEF were associated with better neurological (pre-HF, OR: 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23-3.61, p = 0.006; HFpEF, OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.00-3.61, p = 0.05) and survival outcomes (pre-HF, OR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.34-2.97, p < 0.001; HFpEF, OR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.20-3.05, p = 0.007), compared with general IHCA. CONCLUSION HF stage and LVEF could stratify patients with IHCA into different prognoses. Pre-HF and HFpEF were significantly associated with favorable neurological and survival outcomes after IHCA. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether HF status-directed management could improve IHCA outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant long-term neurologic disability occurs in survivors of pediatric cardiac arrest, primarily due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Postresuscitation care focuses on preventing secondary injury and the pathophysiologic cascade that leads to neuronal cell death. These injury processes include reperfusion injury, perturbations in cerebral blood flow, disturbed oxygen metabolism, impaired autoregulation, cerebral edema, and hyperthermia. Postresuscitation care also focuses on early injury stratification to allow clinicians to identify patients who could benefit from neuroprotective interventions in clinical trials and enable targeted therapeutics. METHODS In this review, we provide an overview of postcardiac arrest pathophysiology, explore the role of neuromonitoring in understanding postcardiac arrest cerebral physiology, and summarize the evidence supporting the use of neuromonitoring devices to guide pediatric postcardiac arrest care. We provide an in-depth review of the neuromonitoring modalities that measure cerebral perfusion, oxygenation, and function, as well as neuroimaging, serum biomarkers, and the implications of targeted temperature management. RESULTS For each modality, we provide an in-depth review of its impact on treatment, its ability to stratify hypoxic-ischemic brain injury severity, and its role in neuroprognostication. CONCLUSION Potential therapeutic targets and future directions are discussed, with the hope that multimodality monitoring can shift postarrest care from a one-size-fits-all model to an individualized model that uses cerebrovascular physiology to reduce secondary brain injury, increase accuracy of neuroprognostication, and improve outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor outcomes are associated with post cardiac arrest blood pressures <5th percentile for age. We aimed to study the relationship of mean arterial pressure (MAP) with favorable neurologic outcome following cardiac arrest and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). METHODS This retrospective, multi-center, observational study analyzed data from the Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Collaborative (pediRES-Q). Children (<18 years) who achieved ROSC following index in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and survived ≥6 hours were included. Lowest documented MAP within the first 6 hours of ROSC was percentile adjusted for age and categorized into six groups - Group I: <5th, II: 5-24th, III: 25-49th, IV: 50-74th, V: 75-94th; and VI: 95-100th percentile. Primary outcome was favorable neurologic status at hospital discharge, defined as PCPC score 1, 2, or no change from pre-arrest baseline. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to analyze the association of MAP group with favorable outcome, controlling for illness category (surgical-cardiac), initial rhythm (shockable), arrest time (weekend or overnight), age, CPR duration, and clustering by site. RESULTS 787 patients were included: median [Q1,Q3] age 17.9 [4.8,90.6] months; male 58%; OHCA 21%; shockable rhythm 13%; CPR duration 7 [3,16] min; favorable neurologic outcome 54%. Median lowest documented MAP percentile for the favorable outcome group was 13 [3,43] versus 8 [1,37] for the unfavorable group. The distribution of blood pressures by MAP group was I: 37%, II: 28%, III: 13%, IV: 11%, V: 7%, and VI: 4%. Compared with patients in Group I (<5%ile), Groups II, III, and IV had higher odds of favorable outcome (aOR, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.24, 2.73]; 2.20 [95% CI, 1.32, 3.68]; 1.90 [95% CI, 1.12, 3.25]). There was no association between Groups V or VI and favorable outcome (aOR, 1.44 [95% CI, 0.75, 2.80]; 1.11 [95% CI, 0.47, 2.59]). CONCLUSION In the first 6-hours post-ROSC, a lowest documented MAP between the 5th-74th percentile for age was associated with favorable neurologic outcome compared to MAP <5th percentile for age.

Abstract
The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the impact of a high-normal and a low-normal mean arterial pressure (MAP) target on outcomes in patients with sepsis or shock. Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, two investigators conducted a thorough literature search across online databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMBASE, spanning from inception to December 10, 2023. The assessed outcomes encompassed all-cause mortality, the need for renal replacement therapy, and the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. A total of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, involving 3507 participants with individual study participant counts ranging from 118 to 2463. The pooled analysis revealed no statistically significant difference in the risk of all-cause mortality between the two groups (Risk Ratio (RR): 0.94, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.87 to 1.01). Furthermore, there was no disparity in the rates of renal replacement therapy and the duration of ICU stay between the high-normal and low-normal MAP groups. Our findings indicate no significant distinctions in mortality, rates of renal replacement therapy, or ICU stay duration between the two groups. However, future trials with larger sample sizes are warranted to comprehensively understand the nuanced effects of different MAP settings on outcomes in patients with sepsis and shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to investigate the advanced hemodynamic effects of the two MAP-targets during intensive care on systemic hemodynamics in comatose patients after cardiac arrest. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial. SETTING Primary vasopressor used was per protocol norepinephrine. Hemodynamic monitoring was done with pulmonary artery catheters (PAC) and measurements were made on predefined time points. The primary endpoint of this substudy was the difference in cardiac index within 48 h from a repeated measurements-mixed model. Secondary endpoints included systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), heart rate, and stroke volume index. PATIENTS Comatose survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS The "Blood pressure and oxygenations targets after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (BOX)"-trial was a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, multicenter-study comparing targeted mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 63 mmHg (MAP63) vs 77 mmHg (MAP77). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Among 789 randomized patients, 730 (93%) patients were included in the hemodynamic substudy. From PAC-insertion (median 1 hours after ICU-admission) and the next 48 hours, the MAP77-group received significantly higher doses of norepinephrine (mean difference 0.09 µg/kg/min, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.07-0.11, pgroup < 0.0001). Cardiac index was significantly increased (0.20 L/min/m2 (CI 0.12-0.28), pgroup < 0.0001) as was SVRI with an overall difference of (43 dynes m2/s/cm5 (CI 7-79); pgroup = 0.02). Heart rate was increased in the MAP77-group (4 beats/minute; CI 2-6, pgroup < 0.003), but stroke volume index was not (pgroup = 0.10). CONCLUSIONS Targeted MAP at 77 mmHg compared to 63 mmHg resulted in a higher dose of norepinephrine, increased cardiac index and SVRI. Heart rate was also increased, but stroke volume index was not affected by a higher blood pressure target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeting a specific mean arterial pressure (MAP) has been evaluated as a treatment strategy after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation. However, the current evidence lacks clear guidelines regarding the optimal MAP target after OHCA. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizing randomized controlled trials (RCTs), retrieved by systematically searching: PubMed, EMBASE, WOS, SCOPUS, and Cochrane through January 18th, 2023. Our review protocol was prospectively published on PROSPERO with ID: CRD42023395333. RESULTS Four RCTs with a total of 1065 patients were included in our analysis. There was no difference between high MAP versus low MAP regarding the primary outcomes: all-cause mortality (RR: 1.07 with a 95% CI [0.91, 1.27], P = 0.4) and favorable neurological recovery (RR: 1.02 with a 95% CI [0.93, 1.13], P = 0.68). However, high MAP target was significantly associated with decreased ICU stay duration (MD: -0.78 with a 95 CI [-1.54, -0.02], P = 0.04) and mechanical ventilation duration (MD: -0.91 with a 95 CI of [-1.51, -0.31], P = 0.003). CONCLUSION A high MAP target may reduce ICU stay and mechanical ventilation duration but did not demonstrate improvements in either mortality or favorable neurological recovery. Therefore, the role of high MAP target remains uncertain and requires further RCTs.

Abstract
AIM To assess the association with outcomes of cardiac index (CI) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) in comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS In the cohort study of 789 patients included in the "BOX"-trial, 565 (77%) patients were included in this hemodynamic substudy (age 62 ± 13 years, male sex 81%). Pulmonary artery catheters were inserted shortly after ICU admission. CI and SvO2 were measured as soon as possible in the ICU and until awakening or death. The endpoints were all-cause mortality at 1 year and renal failure defined as need for renal replacement therapy. RESULTS First measured CI was median 1.7 (1.4-2.1) l/min/m2, and first measured SvO2 was median 67 (61-73) %. CI < median with SvO2 > median was present in 222 (39%), and low SvO2 with CI < median was present in 59 (11%). Spline analysis indicated that SvO2 value < 55% was associated with poor outcome. Low CI at admission was not significantly associated with mortality in multivariable analysis (p = 0.14). SvO2 was significantly inversely associated with mortality (hazard ratioadjusted: 0.91 (0.84-0.98) per 5% increase in SvO2, p = 0.01). SvO2 was significantly inversely associated with renal failure after adjusting for confounders (ORadjusted: 0.73 [0.62-0.86] per 5% increase in SvO2, p = 0.001). The combination of lower CI and lower SvO2 was associated with higher risk of mortality (hazard ratioadjusted: 1.54 (1.06-2.23) and renal failure (ORadjusted: 5.87 [2.34-14.73]. CONCLUSION First measured SvO2 after resuscitation from OHCA was inversely associated with mortality and renal failure. If SvO2 and CI were below median, the risk of poor outcomes increased significantly. REGISTRATION The BOX-trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03141099, date 2017-30-04, retrospectively registered).

Effects of Prolonged Serum Calcium Suppression during Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Pigs. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2612. [PMID: 37892986 PMCID: PMC10604109 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11102612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Controlled reperfusion by monitoring the blood pressure, blood flow, and specific blood parameters during extracorporeal reperfusion after cardiac arrest has the potential to limit ischemia-reperfusion injury. The intracellular calcium overload as part of the ischemia-reperfusion injury provides the possibility for the injury to be counteracted by the early suppression of serum calcium with the aim of improving survival and the neurological outcome. We investigated the effects of prolonged serum calcium suppression via sodium citrate during extracorporeal resuscitation using the CARL protocol (CARL-controlled automated reperfusion of the whole body) compared to a single-dose approach in a porcine model after prolonged cardiac arrest. A control group (N = 10) was resuscitated after a 20 min cardiac arrest, initially lowering the intravascular calcium with the help of a single dose of sodium citrate as part of the priming solution. Animals in the intervention group (N = 13) received additional sodium citrate for the first 15 min of reperfusion. In the control group, 9/10 (90.0%) animals survived until day 7 and 7/13 (53.8%) survived in the intervention group (p = 0.09). A favorable neurological outcome on day 7 after the cardiac arrest was observed in all the surviving animals using a species-specific neurological deficit score. The coronary perfusion pressure was significantly lower with a tendency towards more cardiac arrhythmias in the intervention group. In conclusion, a prolonged reduction in serum calcium levels over the first 15 min of reperfusion after prolonged cardiac arrest tended to be unfavorable regarding survival and hemodynamic variables compared to a single-dose approach in this animal model.

Abstract
The cerebral oxygen cascade includes three key stages: (a) convective oxygen delivery representing the bulk flow of oxygen to the cerebral vascular bed; (b) diffusion of oxygen from the blood into brain tissue; and (c) cellular utilisation of oxygen for aerobic metabolism. All three stages may become dysfunctional after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and contribute to hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI). Improving convective cerebral oxygen delivery by optimising cerebral blood flow has been widely investigated as a strategy to mitigate HIBI. However, clinical trials aimed at optimising convective oxygen delivery have yielded neutral results. Advances in the understanding of HIBI pathophysiology suggest that impairments in the stages of the oxygen cascade pertaining to oxygen diffusion and cellular utilisation of oxygen should also be considered in identifying therapeutic strategies for the clinical management of HIBI patients. Culprit mechanisms for these impairments may include a widening of the diffusion barrier due to peri-vascular oedema and mitochondrial dysfunction. An integrated approach encompassing both intra-parenchymal and non-invasive neuromonitoring techniques may aid in detecting pathophysiologic changes in the oxygen cascade and enable patient-specific management aimed at reducing the severity of HIBI.

Abstract
Following resuscitation from cardiac arrest, hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI) ensues, which is the primary determinant of adverse outcome. The pathophysiology of HIBI can be compartmentalized into primary and secondary injury, resulting from cerebral ischemia during cardiac arrest and reperfusion following successful resuscitation, respectively. During the secondary injury phase, increased attention has been directed towards the optimization of cerebral oxygen delivery to prevent additive injury to the brain. During this phase, cerebral hemodynamics are characterized by early hyperemia following resuscitation and then a protracted phase of cerebral hypoperfusion termed "no-reflow" during which additional hypoxic-ischemic injury can occur. As such, identification of therapeutic strategies to optimize cerebral delivery of oxygen is at the forefront of HIBI research. Unfortunately, randomized control trials investigating the manipulation of arterial carbon dioxide tension and mean arterial pressure augmentation as methods to potentially improve cerebral oxygen delivery have shown no impact on clinical outcomes. Emerging literature suggests differential patient-specific phenotypes may exist in patients with HIBI. The potential to personalize therapeutic strategies in the critical care setting based upon patient-specific pathophysiology presents an attractive strategy to improve HIBI outcomes. Herein, we review the cerebral hemodynamic pathophysiology of HIBI, discuss patient phenotypes as it pertains to personalizing care, as well as suggest future directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With ideal mean arterial pressure (MAP) targets in resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients unknown, we performed a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the effects of higher versus lower MAP targets. METHODS We searched four databases until 1 May 2023 for RCTs reporting the effects of higher MAP targets (>70 mmHg) in resuscitated OHCA patients and conducted random-effects meta-analyses. The primary outcome was mortality while secondary outcomes were neurological evaluations, arrhythmias, acute kidney injury, and durations of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. We conducted inverse-variance weighted strata-level meta-regression against a proportion of non-survivors to assess differences between reported MAPs. We also conducted a trial sequential analysis of RCTs. RESULTS Four RCTs were included. Higher MAP was not associated with reduced mortality (OR: 1.09, 95%-CI: 0.84 to 1.42, p = 0.51), or improved neurological outcomes (OR: 0.99, 95%-CI: 0.77 to 1.27, p = 0.92). Such findings were consistent despite additional sensitivity analyses. Our robust variance strata-level meta-regression revealed no significant associations between mean MAP and the proportion of non-survivors (B: 0.029, 95%-CI: -0.023 to 0.081, p = 0.162), and trial sequential analysis revealed no meaningful survival benefit for higher MAPs. CONCLUSIONS A higher MAP target was not significantly associated with improved mortality and neurological outcomes in resuscitated OHCA patients.

High-normal versus low-normal mean arterial pressure thresholds in critically ill patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials. Can J Anaesth 2023; 70:1244-1254. [PMID: 37268800 DOI: 10.1007/s12630-023-02494-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Targeted blood pressure thresholds remain unclear in critically ill patients. Two prior systematic reviews have not shown differences in mortality with a high mean arterial pressure (MAP) threshold, but there have been new studies published since. Thus, we conducted an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the effect of a high-normal vs low-normal MAP on mortality, favourable neurologic outcome, need for renal replacement therapy, and adverse vasopressor-induced events in critically ill patients. SOURCE We searched six databases from inception until 1 October 2022 for RCTs of critically ill patients targeted to either a high-normal vs a low-normal MAP threshold for at least 24 hr. We assessed study quality using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias 2 tool and the risk ratio (RR) was used as the summary measure of association. We used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework to assess the certainty of evidence. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We included eight RCTs with 4,561 patients. Four trials were conducted in patients following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, two in patients with distributive shock requiring vasopressors, one in patients with septic shock, and one in patients with hepatorenal syndrome. The pooled RRs for mortality (eight RCTs; 4,439 patients) and favourable neurologic outcome (four RCTs; 1,065 patients) were 1.06 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99 to 1.14; moderate certainty) and 0.99 (95% CI, 0.90 to 1.08; moderate certainty), respectively. The RR for the need for renal replacement therapy (four RCTs; 4,071 patients) was 0.97 (95% CI, 0.87 to 1.08; moderate certainty). There was no statistical between-study heterogeneity across all outcomes. CONCLUSION This updated systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs found no differences in mortality, favourable neurologic outcome, or the need for renal replacement therapy between critically ill patients assigned to a high-normal vs low-normal MAP target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypotension following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may cause secondary brain injury and increase mortality rates. Current guidelines recommend avoiding hypotension. However, the optimal blood pressure following OHCA is unknown. We hypothesised that exposure to hypotension and hypertension in the first 24 h in ICU would be associated with mortality following OHCA. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of OHCA patients included in the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre Case Mix Programme from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2019. Restricted cubic splines were created following adjustment for important prognostic variables. We report the adjusted odds ratio for associations between lowest and highest mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the first 24 h of ICU care and hospital mortality. RESULTS A total of 32,349 patients were included in the analysis. Hospital mortality was 56.2%. The median lowest and highest MAP and SBP were similar in survivors and non-survivors. Both hypotension and hypertension were associated with increased mortality. Patients who had a lowest recorded MAP in the range 60-63 mmHg had the lowest associated mortality. Patients who had a highest recorded MAP in the range 95-104 mmHg had the lowest associated mortality. The association between SBP and mortality followed a similar pattern to MAP. CONCLUSIONS We found an association between hypotension and hypertension in the first 24 h in ICU and mortality following OHCA. The inability to distinguish between the median blood pressure of survivors and non-survivors indicates the need for research into individualised blood pressure targets for survivors following OHCA.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: The present study aimed to explore the clinical features and long-term outcomes associated with neurologic impairment in patients with cardiac arrest (CA) who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods: A total of 37 adult CA patients who underwent venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and were admitted to our department between January 2015 and February 2022 were divided according to neurologic impairment. Baseline and CPR- and ECMO-related characteristics were compared between the two groups. Long-term neurologic outcomes were collected via telephone follow-ups. Results: Twenty-four (64.9%) ECPR-supported patients developed neurologic impairments. The two groups differed significantly in median age (P = 0.026), proportion of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support (P = 0.011), proportion of continuous renal replacement therapy (P = 0.025), and median serum creatinine (Cr) level (P = 0.012) pre-ECMO. The 28-day mortality (P = 0.001), hospital mortality (P = 0.003), median duration from CA to restoration of spontaneous circulation (P = 0.029), proportion of patients with nonpulsatile perfusion (NP) >12 hours (P = 0.040), and median ECMO duration (P = 0.047) were higher in the neurologic impairment group. In contrast, the group without neurologic impairment exhibited a longer median intensive care unit length of stay (P = 0.047), longer median hospital LOS (P = 0.031), and more successful ECMO weaning (P = 0.049). Moreover, NP >12 hours combined with IABP support (odds ratio [OR], 14.769; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.417~153.889; P = 0.024) and serum Cr level (OR, 1.028; 95% CI, 1.001~1.056; P = 0.043) were independent risk factors for neurologic impairment. Furthermore, neurologic impairment was associated with significantly worse 90-day survival (hazards ratio, 4.218; 95% CI, 1.745~10.2; P = 0.0014). Conclusions: The incidence of neurologic impairment was higher in patients who received ECPR and was closely related to 28-day mortality and discharge survival. NP >12 hours combined with IABP support and serum Cr levels were independent risk factors for neurologic impairments in ECPR-supported patients. Neurologic impairment significantly adversely affected the long-term outcomes of ECPR-supported patients after discharge.

Abstract
Background Patients admitted after cardiac arrest with non-shockable rhythm frequently experience hemodynamic instability. This study assessed the hemodynamic consequences of TTM in this sub population. Methods This is a post hoc analysis of the HYPERION trial (NCT01994772), that randomized patients to either hypothermia or normothermia after non-shockable rhythm related cardiac arrest. Patients with no, moderate or severe circulatory failure were identified with cardiovascular Sequential Organ Failure Assessment at randomization. Primary outcome was the number of patients at day 7 with resolution of shock, accounting for the risk of death (competing risk analysis). Secondary endpoint included neurological outcome and death at day-90. Results 584 patients were included in the analysis: 195 (34%), 46 (8%) and 340 (59%) had no, moderate and severe circulatory failure, respectively. Resolution of circulatory failure at day 7 was more frequently observed in the normothermia group than in the TTM group (60% [95 %CI 54-66] versus 53% [95 %CI 46-60], Gray-test: p = 0.016). The severity of circulatory failure at randomization was associated with its less frequent resolution at day 7 accounting for the risk of death (76 % [62-86] versus 54% [49-59] for patients with moderate versus severe circulatory failure, Gray test, p < 0.001, respectively). At day 90, the proportion of patients with Cerebral Performance Category score of 1 or 2 was lower in patients presenting severe circulatory failure (p = 0.038). Conclusion Circulatory failure is frequent after CA with non-shockable rhythm. Its severity at admission and TTM were associated with delayed resolution of circulatory failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypotension is common after cardiac arrest (CA), and current guidelines recommend using vasopressors to target mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) higher than 65 mmHg. Pilot trials have compared higher and lower MAP targets. We will review the evidence on whether higher MAP improves outcome after cardiac arrest. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted based on a systematic search of relevant major medical databases from their inception onwards, including MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), as well as clinical trial registries. We will identify randomised controlled trials published in the English language that compare targeting a MAP higher than 65-70 mmHg in CA patients using vasopressors, inotropes and intravenous fluids. The data extraction will be performed separately by two authors (a third author will be involved in case of disagreement), followed by a bias assessment with the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool using an eight-step procedure for assessing if thresholds for clinical significance are crossed. The outcomes will be all-cause mortality, functional long-term outcomes and serious adverse events. We will contact the authors of the identified trials to request individual anonymised patient data to enable individual patient data meta-analysis, aggregate data meta-analyses, trial sequential analyses and multivariable regression, controlling for baseline characteristics. The certainty of the evidence will be assessed by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. We will register this systematic review with Prospero and aim to redo it when larger trials are published in the near future. CONCLUSIONS This protocol defines the performance of a systematic review on whether a higher MAP after cardiac arrest improves patient outcome. Repeating this systematic review including more data likely will allow for more certainty regarding the effect of the intervention and possible sub-groups differences.

Abstract
Postcardiac arrest shock (PCAS) is defined by hemodynamic instability occurring in the first hours after cardiac arrest (CA) and is a major cause of mortality among patients hospitalized after CA. It includes vasoplegia and myocardial dysfunction. This postcardiac arrest myocardial dysfunction is supposed to recover within the 3 days. However, there are many unknowns regarding its definition, its prognosis value and its management. In this review dedicated to emergency physicians, we choose to address tips and pitfalls they should know regarding this prevalent syndrome.

Beneficial Effects of Adjusted Perfusion and Defibrillation Strategies on Rhythm Control within Controlled Automated Reperfusion of the Whole Body (CARL) for Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. J Clin Med 2022; 11:2111. [PMID: 35456204 PMCID: PMC9031732 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11082111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Survival and neurological outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remain low. The further development of prehospital extracorporeal resuscitation (ECPR) towards Controlled Automated Reperfusion of the Whole Body (CARL) has the potential to improve survival and outcome in these patients. In CARL therapy, pulsatile, high blood-flow reperfusion is performed combined with several modified reperfusion parameters and adjusted defibrillation strategies. We aimed to investigate whether pulsatile, high-flow reperfusion is feasible in refractory OHCA and whether the CARL approach improves heart-rhythm control during ECPR. In a reality-based porcine model of refractory OHCA, 20 pigs underwent prehospital CARL or conventional ECPR. Significantly higher pulsatile blood-flow proved to be feasible, and critical hypotension was consistently prevented via CARL. In the CARL group, spontaneous rhythm conversions were observed using a modified priming solution. Applying potassium-induced secondary cardioplegia proved to be a safe and effective method for sustained rhythm conversion. Moreover, significantly fewer defibrillation attempts were needed, and cardiac arrhythmias were reduced during reperfusion via CARL. Prehospital CARL therapy thus not only proved to be feasible after prolonged OHCA, but it turned out to be superior to conventional ECPR regarding rhythm control.

Abstract
Background Comatose patients admitted after resuscitation from cardiac arrest have a significant risk of poor outcome due to hypoxic brain injury. While numerous studies have investigated and challenged the target temperature as the efficacious part of the guideline endorsed Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) protocols, our knowledge and how the remaining parts of the TTM are optimized remain sparse. The present randomized trial investigated two aspects of the TTM protocol: target blood pressure during the ICU stay and oxygenation during mechanical ventilation. Furthermore, the efficacy of device-based post-TTM fever management is addressed. Methods Investigator-initiated, dual-center, randomized clinical trial in comatose OHCA patients admitted to an intensive cardiac care unit. Patients are eligible for inclusion if unconscious, older than 18 years of age, and have return of spontaneous circulation for more than 20 min. Intervention: allocation 1:1:1:1 into a group defined by (a) blood pressure targets in double-blind intervention targeting a mean arterial blood pressure of 63 or 77 mmHg and (b) restrictive (9–10 kPa) or liberal (13–14 kPa) of arterial oxygen concentration during mechanical ventilation. As a subordinate intervention, device-based active fever management is discontinued after 36 h or 72. Patients will otherwise receive protocolized standard of care according to international guidelines, including targeted temperature management at 36 °C for 24 h, sedation with fentanyl and propofol, and multimodal neuro-prognostication. Primary endpoint: Discharge from hospital in poor neurological status (Cerebral Performance category 3 or 4) or death, whichever comes first. Secondary outcomes: Time to initiation of renal replacement therapy or death, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) level at 48 h, MOCA score at day 90, Modified Ranking Scale (mRS) and CPC at 3 months, NT-pro-BNP at 90 days, eGFR and LVEF at 90 days, daily cumulated vasopressor requirement during ICU stay, and need for a combination of vasopressors and inotropic agents or mechanical circulatory support. Discussion We hypothesize that low or high target blood pressure and restrictive and liberal oxygen administration will have an impact on mortality by reducing the risk and degree of hypoxic brain injury. This will be assessment neurological outcome and biochemical and neuropsychological testing after 90 days. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03141099.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shock is common in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital-cardiac arrest (OHCA). Shock severity can be classified using the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention (SCAI) Shock Classification. We aimed to examine the association of SCAI Shock Stage with in-hospital mortality and neurological outcome in comatose OHCA patients undergoing targeted temperature management (TTM). METHODS This study included 213 comatose adult patients who underwent TTM after OHCA between January 2007 and December 2017. SCAI shock stage (A through E) was assigned using data from the first 24 hours, with shock defined as SCAI shock stage C/D/E. Good neurological outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) less than 3. RESULTS In-hospital mortality was higher in the 144 (67.6%) patients with shock (46.5% v. 23.2%, unadjusted OR 2.88, 95% CI 1.51-5.51, p = 0.001). After multivariable adjustment, each SCAI shock stage was incrementally associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR 1.80 per stage, 95% CI 1.20-2.71, p = 0.003). Good neurological outcome was less likely in patients with shock (31.9% vs. 53.6%, unadjusted OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.23-0.73, p = 0.002) and a higher SCAI shock stage was incrementally associated with a lower likelihood of good neurological outcome after multivariable adjustment (adjusted OR 0.67 per stage, 95% CI 0.48-0.93, p = 0.015). CONCLUSION Higher shock severity, defined using the SCAI Shock Classification, was associated with increased in-hospital mortality and a lower likelihood of good neurological outcome in OHCA patients treated with TTM.

Abstract
We evaluated the optimal mean arterial pressure (MAP) for favorable neurological outcomes in patients who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Adult patients who underwent ECPR were included. The average MAP was obtained during 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after cardiac arrest, respectively. Primary outcome was neurological status upon discharge, as assessed by the Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) scale (range from 1 to 5). Overall, patients with favorable neurological outcomes (CPC 1 or 2) tended to have a higher average MAP than those with poor neurological outcomes. Six models were established based on ensemble algorithms for machine learning, multiple logistic regression and observation times. Patients with average MAP around 75 mmHg had the least probability of poor neurologic outcomes in all the models. However, those with average MAPs below 60 mmHg had a high probability of poor neurological outcomes. In addition, based on an increase in the average MAP, the risk of poor neurological outcomes tended to increase in patients with an average MAP above 75 mmHg. In this study, average MAPs were associated with neurological outcomes in patients who underwent ECPR. Especially, maintaining the survivor’s MAP at about 75 mmHg may be important for neurological recovery after ECPR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurological injury and mortality remain high in comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Hypotension and hypoxia during post-resuscitation care have been associated with poor outcome, but the optimal oxygenation- and blood pressure-targets are unknown. The impact of different doses of norepinephrine on advanced hemodynamic after OHCA and the impact of different oxygenation-targets on pulmonary circulation and resistance (PVR), are unknown. The aims of this substudy of the "Blood pressure and oxygenations targets after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (BOX)"-trial are to investigate the effect of two different MAP- and oxygenation-targets on advanced systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics measured by pulmonary artery catheters (PAC). METHODS The BOX-trial is an investigator-initiated, randomized, controlled study comparing targeted MAP of 63 mmHg vs 77 mmHg (double-blinded intervention) and 9-10 kPa versus PaO2 of 13-14 kPa oxygenation-targets (open-label). Per protocol, all patients will be monitored systematically with PACs. The primary endpoint of the hemodynamic-substudy is cardiac output for the MAP-intervention, and PVR for the oxygenation-intervention. For both endpoints, the difference within 48 h between groups are assessed. Secondary endpoints are pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and pulmonary arterial pressure and association between advanced hemodynamic variables and mortality and biomarkers of inflammation and brain injury. DISCUSSION In the BOX-trial, patients will be randomly allocated to two levels of MAP and oxygenation, which are central parts of post-resuscitation care and where evidence is sparse. The advanced-hemodynamic substudy will give valuable knowledge of the hemodynamic consequences of changing blood pressure and oxygen-levels of the critical cardiac patient. It will be one of the largest clinical, prospective trials of advanced hemodynamics measured by serial PACs in consecutive comatose patients, resuscitated after OHCA. The randomized and placebo-controlled trialdesign of the MAP-intervention minimizes risk of selection bias and confounders. Furthermore, hemodynamic characteristics and associations with outcome will be investigated. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03141099).

Abstract
Background Little is known about the prevalence of altered CAR in anoxic brain injury and the association with patients’ outcome. We aimed at investigating CAR in cardiac arrest survivors treated by targeted temperature management and its association to outcome.
Methods Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Inclusion criteria: adult cardiac arrest survivors treated by targeted temperature management (TTM). Exclusion criteria: trauma; sepsis, intoxication; acute intra-cranial disease; history of supra-aortic vascular disease; severe hemodynamic instability; cardiac output mechanical support; arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) > 60 mmHg; arrhythmias; lack of acoustic window. Middle cerebral artery flow velocitiy (FV) was assessed by transcranial Doppler (TCD) once during hypothermia (HT) and once during normothermia (NT). FV and blood pressure (BP) were recorded simultaneously and Mxa calculated (MATLAB). Mxa is the Pearson correlation coefficient between FV and BP. Mxa > 0.3 defined altered CAR. Survival was assessed at hospital discharge. Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 3–5 assessed 3 months after CA defined unfavorable neurological outcome (UO). Results We included 50 patients (Jan 2015–Dec 2018). All patients had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, 24 (48%) had initial shockable rhythm. Time to return of spontaneous circulation was 20 [10–35] min. HT (core body temperature 33.7 [33.2–34] °C) lasted for 24 [23–28] h, followed by rewarming and NT (core body temperature: 36.9 [36.6–37.4] °C). Thirty-one (62%) patients did not survive at hospital discharge and 36 (72%) had UO. Mxa was lower during HT than during NT (0.33 [0.11–0.58] vs. 0.58 [0.30–0.83]; p = 0.03). During HT, Mxa did not differ between outcome groups. During NT, Mxa was higher in patients with UO than others (0.63 [0.43–0.83] vs. 0.31 [− 0.01–0.67]; p = 0.03). Mxa differed among CPC values at NT (p = 0.03). Specifically, CPC 2 group had lower Mxa than CPC 3 and 5 groups. At multivariate analysis, initial non-shockable rhythm, high Mxa during NT and highly malignant electroencephalography pattern (HMp) were associated with in-hospital mortality; high Mxa during NT and HMp were associated with UO. Conclusions CAR is frequently altered in cardiac arrest survivors treated by TTM. Altered CAR during normothermia was independently associated with poor outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few data exist on the effects of increasing norepinephrine doses or increasing arterial CO2 (PaCO2) on hemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation in comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. METHODS We prospectively studied 10 resuscitated OHCA-patients undergoing targeted temperature management (36C°). The trial consisted of 5 phases with 20 minutes steady state in-between: Phase 1-4 were increasing doses of norepinephrine to reach targets of mean arterial pressure (MAP). First 65, second 75, third 85, fourth 65 mmHg again. In the fifth phase, MAP was constant while PaCO2 was increased to 6.5-7.3 kPa to increase cardiac output. Primary outcome was cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Secondary outcomes were hemodynamic variables from Swan-Ganz catheters and blood samples from the radial artery and jugular bulb. RESULTS To reach a MAP at 85 mmHg, norepinephrine was increased from 0.11 ± 0.02 to 0.18 ± 0.02 µg/kg/min (P < 0.001). Norepinephrine uptitration significantly increased systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and pulmonary vascular resistance, without affecting cardiac output, heart rate or cerebral oxygenation. Increasing PaCO2, resulted in a significant increase in cardiac output and cerebral NIRS, but arterial-venous cerebral oxygen-uptake decreased. Norepinephrine demand to keep MAP at 65 mmHg was unaffected by increasing PaCO2. CONCLUSIONS A short-term increase in MAP with norepinephrine in resuscitated comatose cardiac arrest-patients is associated with increased SVR and pulmonary vascular resistance without affecting cardiac output or cerebral NIRS. Increased cardiac output caused by an increase in PaCO2 increased cerebral NIRS, but not cerebral oxygen uptake.

Abstract
Measuring cardiac output is used to guide treatment during postresuscitation care. The aim of this study was to compare Doppler echocardiography (Doppler-CO) with thermodilution using pulmonary artery catheters (PAC-CO) for cardiac output estimation in a large cohort of comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients undergoing targeted temperature management (TTM). Single-center substudy of 141 patients included in the TTM trial randomly assigned to 33 or 36°C for 24 hours after OHCA. Per protocol, PAC-CO and Doppler-CO were measured simultaneously shortly after admission and again at 24 and 48 hours. Linear correlation was assessed between methods and positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of Doppler to estimate low cardiac output (<3.5 L/min) was calculated. A total of 301 paired cardiac output measurements were available. Average cardiac output was 5.28 ± 1.94 L/min measured by thermodilution and 4.06 ± 1.49 L/min measured by Doppler with a mean bias of 1.22 L/min (limits of agreements -1.92 to 4.36 L/min). Correlation between methods was moderate (R2 = 0.36). Using PAC-CO as the gold standard, PPV of a low cardiac output measurement (<3.5 L/min) by Doppler was 33%. However, the NPV was 92%. Hypothermia at 33°C did not negatively affect the correlations of CO methods. In the lowest quartile of Doppler, 13% had elevated lactate (>2 mmol/L). In the lowest quartile of thermodilution, 36% had elevated lactate (>2 mmol/L). In ventilated OHCA patients, the two methods for estimating cardiac output correlated moderately and there was a consistent underestimation of Doppler-CO. Absolute cardiac output values from Doppler-CO should be interpreted with caution. However, Doppler can be used to exclude low cardiac output with high accuracy. TTM at 33°C did not negatively affect the correlation or bias of cardiac output measurements. ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01020916.

Abstract
AIM of study To investigate whether regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) differs in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors undergoing targeted temperature management (TTM) 36℃ versus 33℃. METHODS A randomized clinical trial was conducted at intensive care units in two referral hospitals. Fifty-seven comatose OHCA survivors were randomized into either a 36℃ or 33℃ group. Patients were cooled and maintained at an oesophageal temperature of either 36℃ or 33℃ for 24 hours, rewarmed at a rate of 0.25℃/hour, and maintained at < 37.5℃ until 72 hours. During 72 hours of TTM, rSO2 was continuously monitored on the left forehead using near-infrared spectroscopy (INVOSTM 5100C). The rSO2 level at 72 hours was compared between the two groups. Next, serial rSO2 levels for 72 hours were compared using mixed effects regression. The association between rSO2 levels and 6-month neurological outcomes was also evaluated. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the rSO2 level at 72 hours between the 36℃ and 33℃ groups (p = 0.372). Furthermore, serial rSO2 levels for 72 hours of TTM were not different between the two groups (p = 0.733). However, low rSO2 levels, particularly at 24 hours of TTM, were significantly associated with poor 6-month neurological outcomes (odds ratio = 0.899, 95% confidence interval: 0.831 - 0.974). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the rSO2 level at 24 hours for poor neurological outcomes was 0.800. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of target temperatures, low rSO2 levels during TTM were significantly associated with poor 6-month neurological outcomes in OHCA survivors.

Björkman J, Raatiniemi L, Setälä P, Nurmi J. Shock index as a predictor for short-term mortality in helicopter emergency medical services: A registry study. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2021; 65:816-823. [PMID: 33340090 DOI: 10.1111/aas.13765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Revised: 11/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The value of shock-index has been demonstrated in hospital triage, but few studies have evaluated its prehospital use. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between shock-index in prehospital critical care and short-term mortality. METHODS We analyzed data from the national helicopter emergency medical services database and the Population Register Centre. The shock-index was calculated from the patients' first measured parameters. The primary outcome measure was 1- and 30-day mortality. RESULTS A total of 22 433 patients were included. The 1-day mortality was 7.5% and 30-day mortality was 16%. The median shock-index was 0.68 (0.55/0.84) for survivors and 0.67 (0.49/0.93) for non-survivors (P = .316) at 30-days. Association between shock-index and mortality followed a U-shaped curve in trauma (shock-index < 0.5: odds ratio 2.5 [95% confidence interval 1.8-3.4], shock-index > 1.3: odds ratio 4.4 [2.7-7.2] at 30 days). Patients with neurological emergencies with a low shock-index had an increased risk of mortality (shock-index < 0.5: odds ratio 1.8 [1.5-2.3]) whereas patients treated after successful resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, a higher shock-index was associated with higher mortality (shock-index > 1.3: odds ratio 3.5 [2.3-5.4). The association was similar for all ages, but older patients had higher mortality in each shock-index category. CONCLUSION The shock-index is associated with short time mortality in most critical patient categories in the prehospital setting. However, the marked overlap of shock-index in survivors and non-survivors in all patient categories limits its predictive value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-arrest hypotension is common after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and many patients resuscitated after OHCA will require vasopressors. We sought to determine the associations between echocardiographic parameters and vasopressor requirements in OHCA patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed adult patients with OHCA treated with targeted temperature management between December 2005 and September 2016 who underwent a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). Categorical variables were compared using 2-tailed Fisher's exact and Pearson's correlation coefficients and variance (r2) values were used to assess relationships between continuous variables. RESULTS Among 217 included patients, the mean age was 62 ± 12 years, including 74% males. The arrest was witnessed in 90%, the initial rhythm was shockable in 88%, and 58% received bystander CPR. At the time of TTE, 41% of patients were receiving vasopressors; this group of patients was older, had greater severity of illness, higher inpatient mortality and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was modestly lower (36.8 ± 17.1% vs. 41.4 ± 16.4%, P = 0.04). Stroke volume, cardiac power output and left ventricular stroke work index correlated with number of vasopressors (Pearson r -0.24 to -0.34, all P < 0.002), but the correlation with LVEF was weak (Pearson r -0.13, P = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS In patients after OHCA, left ventricular systolic dysfunction was associated with the need for vasopressors, and Doppler TTE hemodynamic parameters had higher correlation coefficients compared with vasopressor requirements than LVEF. This emphasizes the complex nature of shock after OHCA, including pathophysiologic processes not captured by TTE assessment alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comatose patients admitted after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest frequently experience haemodynamic instability and anoxic brain injury. Targeted temperature management is used for neuroprotection; however, targeted temperature management also affects patients' haemodynamic status. This study assessed the haemodynamic status of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors during prolonged (48 hours) targeted temperature management at 33°C. METHODS Analysis of haemodynamic and vasopressor data from 311 patients included in a randomised, clinical trial conducted in 10 European hospitals (the TTH48 trial). Patients were randomly allocated to targeted temperature management at 33°C for 24 (TTM24) or 48 (TTM48) hours. Vasopressor and haemodynamic data were reported hourly for 72 hours after admission. Vasopressor load was calculated as norepinephrine (µg/kg/min) plus dopamine(µg/kg/min/100) plus epinephrine (µg/kg/min). RESULTS After 24 hours, mean arterial pressure (mean±SD) was 74±9 versus 75±9 mmHg (P=0.19), heart rate was 57±16 and 55±14 beats/min (P=0.18), vasopressor load was 0.06 (0.03-0.15) versus 0.08 (0.03-0.15) µg/kg/min (P=0.22) for the TTM24 and TTM48 groups, respectively. From 24 to 48 hours, there was no difference in mean arterial pressure (Pgroup=0.32) or lactate (Pgroup=0.20), while heart rate was significantly lower (average difference 5 (95% confidence interval 2-8) beats/min, Pgroup<0.0001) and vasopressor load was significantly higher in the TTM48 group (Pgroup=0.005). In a univariate Cox regression model, high vasopressor load was associated with mortality in univariate analysis (hazard ratio 1.59 (1.05-2.42) P=0.03), but not in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 0.77 (0.46-1.29) P=0.33). CONCLUSIONS In this study, prolonged targeted temperature management at 33°C for 48 hours was associated with higher vasopressor requirement but no sign of any detrimental haemodynamic effects.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest survivors comprise a heterogeneous population, in which the etiology of arrest, systemic and neurologic comorbidities, and sequelae of post-cardiac arrest syndrome influence the severity of secondary brain injury. The degree of secondary neurologic injury can be modifiable and is influenced by factors that alter cerebral physiology. Neuromonitoring techniques provide tools for evaluating the evolution of physiologic variables over time. This article reviews the pathophysiology of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, provides an overview of the neuromonitoring tools available to identify risk profiles for secondary brain injury, and highlights the importance of an individualized approach to post cardiac arrest care.

Abstract
Background: Several studies have previously reported the presence of altered cerebral perfusion during sepsis. However, the role of non-invasive neuromonitoring, and the impact of altered cerebral perfusion, in sepsis patients with delirium remains unclear. Methods: We performed a systematic review of studies that used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or transcranial Doppler (TCD) to assess adults (≥18 years) with sepsis and delirium. From study inception to July 28, 2020, we searched the following databases: Ovid MedLine, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Results: Of 1546 articles identified, 10 met our inclusion criteria. Although NIRS-derived regional cerebral oxygenation was consistently lower, this difference was only statistically significant in one study. TCD-derived cerebral blood flow velocity was inconsistent across studies. Importantly, both impaired cerebral autoregulation during sepsis and increased cerebrovascular resistance were associated with delirium during sepsis. However, the heterogeneity in NIRS and TCD devices, duration of recording (from 10 seconds to 72 hours), and delirium assessment methods (e.g., electronic medical records, confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit), precluded meta-analysis. Conclusion: The available literature demonstrates that cerebral perfusion disturbances may be associated with delirium in sepsis. However, future investigations will require consistent definitions of delirium, delirium assessment training, harmonized NIRS and TCD assessments (e.g., consistent measurement site and length of recording), as well as the quantification of secondary and tertiary variables (i.e., Cox, Mxa, MAPOPT), in order to fully assess the relationship between cerebral perfusion and delirium in patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Although beneficial effects of an early goal directed therapy (EGDT) after cardiac arrest and successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) have been described, clinical implementation in this period seems rather difficult. The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility and the impact of EGDT on myocardial damage and function after cardiac resuscitation. A translational pig model which has been carefully adapted to the clinical setting was employed. After 8 min of cardiac arrest and successful ROSC, pigs were randomized to receive either EGDT (EGDT group) or therapy by random computer-controlled hemodynamic thresholds (noEGDT group). Therapeutic algorithms included blood gas analysis, conductance catheter method, thermodilution cardiac output and transesophageal echocardiography. Twenty-one animals achieved successful ROSC of which 13 pigs survived the whole experimental period and could be included into final analysis. cTnT and LDH concentrations were lower in the EGDT group without reaching statistical significance. Comparison of lactate concentrations between 1 and 8 h after ROSC exhibited a decrease to nearly baseline levels within the EGDT group (1 h vs 8 h: 7.9 vs. 1.7 mmol/l, P < 0.01), while in the noEGDT group lactate concentrations did not significantly decrease. The EGDT group revealed a higher initial need for fluids (P < 0.05) and less epinephrine administration (P < 0.05) post ROSC. Conductance method determined significant higher values for preload recruitable stroke work, ejection fraction and maximum rate of pressure change in the ventricle for the EGDT group. EGDT after cardiac arrest is associated with a significant decrease of lactate levels to nearly baseline and is able to improve systolic myocardial function. Although the results of our study suggest that implementation of an EGDT algorithm for post cardiac arrest care seems feasible, the impact and implementation of EGDT algorithms after cardiac arrest need to be further investigated.

Abstract
Postanoxic encephalopathy is the key determinant of death or disability after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Animal studies have provided proof-of-principle evidence of efficacy of divergent classes of neuroprotective treatments to promote brain recovery. However, apart from targeted temperature management (TTM), neuroprotective treatments are not included in current care of patients with postanoxic encephalopathy after cardiac arrest. We aimed to review the clinical evidence of efficacy of neuroprotective strategies to improve recovery of comatose patients after cardiac arrest and to propose future directions. We performed a systematic search of the literature to identify prospective, comparative clinical trials on interventions to improve neurological outcome of comatose patients after cardiac arrest. We included 53 studies on 21 interventions. None showed unequivocal benefit. TTM at 33 or 36°C and adrenaline (epinephrine) are studied most, followed by xenon, erythropoietin, and calcium antagonists. Lack of efficacy is associated with heterogeneity of patient groups and limited specificity of outcome measures. Ongoing and future trials will benefit from systematic collection of measures of baseline encephalopathy and sufficiently powered predefined subgroup analyses. Outcome measurement should include comprehensive neuropsychological follow-up, to show treatment effects that are not detectable by gross measures of functional recovery. To enhance translation from animal models to patients, studies under experimental conditions should adhere to strict methodological and publication guidelines.

Abstract
Brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2)-guided care, a therapeutic strategy to treat or prevent cerebral hypoxia through modifying determinants of cerebral oxygen delivery, including arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), and mean arterial pressure (MAP), has recently been introduced. Studies have reported that cerebral hypoxia occurs after cardiac arrest in the absence of hypoxemia or hypotension. To obtain preliminary information on the degree to which PbtO2 is responsive to changes in the common target variables for PbtO2-guided care in conditions without hypoxemia or hypotension, we investigated the relationships between the common target variables for PbtO2-guided care and PbtO2 using data from an experimental study in which the animals did not experience hypoxemia or hypotension after resuscitation. We retrospectively analyzed 170 sets of MAP, ETCO2, PaO2, PbtO2, and cerebral microcirculation parameters obtained during the 60-min post-resuscitation period in 10 pigs resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest. PbtO2 and cerebral microcirculation parameters were measured on parietal cortices exposed through burr holes. Multiple linear mixed effect models were used to test the independent effects of each variable on PbtO2. Despite the absence of arterial hypoxemia or hypotension, seven (70%) animals experienced cerebral hypoxia (defined as PbtO2 <20 mmHg). Linear mixed effect models revealed that neither MAP nor ETCO2 were related to PbtO2. PaO2 had a significant linear relationship with PbtO2 after adjusting for significant covariates (P = 0.030), but it could explain only 17.5% of the total PbtO2 variance (semi-partial R2 = 0.175; 95% confidence interval, 0.086-0.282). In conclusion, MAP and ETCO2 were not significantly related to PbtO2 in animals without hypoxemia or hypotension during the early post-resuscitation period. PaO2 had a significant linear association with PbtO2, but its ability to explain PbtO2 variance was small.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low versus high mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels on the incidence of postoperative delirium during non-cardiothoracic surgery in older patients. DESIGN Multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled, open-label, and assessor-blinded clinical trial. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Three hundred twenty-two patients aged ≥65 with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I-II who underwent non-cardiothoracic surgery with general anaesthesia. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomly assigned into a low-level MAP (60-70 mmHg) or high-level MAP (90-100 mmHg) group during general anaesthesia. The study was conducted from November 2016 to February 2020. Participants were older patients having non-cardiothoracic surgery. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 7 days after surgery. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative delirium. MAIN RESULTS In total, 322 patients were included and randomized; 298 completed in-hospital delirium assessments [median (interquartile range) age, 73 (68-77) years; 173 (58.1%) women]. Fifty-four (18.1%) patients total, including 36 (24.5%) and 18 (11.9%) in the low-level and high-level MAP groups [relative risk (RR) 0.48, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.25 to 0.87, P = 0.02], respectively, experienced postoperative delirium. The adjusted RR was 0.34 (95% CI 0.16 to 0.70, P < 0.01) in the multiple regression analysis. High-level MAP was associated with a shorter delirium span and a higher intraoperative urine volume than low-level MAP. CONCLUSIONS In older patients during non-cardiothoracic surgery, high-level blood pressure management might help reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium.

[PMID: 33315152 PMCID: PMC7734609 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-020-00788-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
A post-resuscitation shock occurs in 50–70% of patients who had a cardiac arrest. It is an early and transient complication of the post-resuscitation phase, which frequently leads to multiple-organ failure and high mortality. The pathophysiology of post-resuscitation shock is complex and results from the whole-body ischemia–reperfusion process provoked by the sequence of circulatory arrest, resuscitation manoeuvers and return of spontaneous circulation, combining a myocardial dysfunction and sepsis features, such as vasoplegia, hypovolemia and endothelial dysfunction. Similarly to septic shock, the hemodynamic management of post-resuscitation shock is based on an early and aggressive hemodynamic management, including fluid administration, vasopressors and/or inotropes. Norepinephrine should be considered as the first-line vasopressor in order to avoid arrhythmogenic effects of other catecholamines and dobutamine is the most established inotrope in this situation. Importantly, the optimal mean arterial pressure target during the post-resuscitation shock still remains unknown and may probably vary according to patients. Mechanical circulatory support by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be necessary in the most severe patients, when the neurological prognosis is assumed to be favourable. Other symptomatic treatments include protective lung ventilation with a target of normoxia and normocapnia and targeted temperature management by avoiding the lowest temperature targets. Early coronary angiogram and coronary reperfusion must be considered in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with preserved neurological prognosis although the timing of coronary angiogram in non-STEMI patients is still a matter of debate. Further clinical research is needed in order to explore new therapeutic opportunities regarding inflammatory, hormonal and vascular dysfunction.

Neurological Complications and Noninvasive Multimodal Neuromonitoring in Critically Ill Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients. Front Neurol 2020; 11:602114. [PMID: 33329361 PMCID: PMC7729072 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2020.602114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: The incidence and the clinical presentation of neurological manifestations of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) remain unclear. No data regarding the use of neuromonitoring tools in this group of patients are available. Methods: This is a retrospective study of prospectively collected data. The primary aim was to assess the incidence and the type of neurological complications in critically ill COVID-19 patients and their effect on survival as well as on hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay. The secondary aim was to describe cerebral hemodynamic changes detected by noninvasive neuromonitoring modalities such as transcranial Doppler, optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), and automated pupillometry. Results: Ninety-four patients with COVID-19 admitted to an ICU from February 28 to June 30, 2020, were included in this study. Fifty-three patients underwent noninvasive neuromonitoring. Neurological complications were detected in 50% of patients, with delirium as the most common manifestation. Patients with neurological complications, compared to those without, had longer hospital (36.8 ± 25.1 vs. 19.4 ± 16.9 days, p < 0.001) and ICU (31.5 ± 22.6 vs. 11.5±10.1 days, p < 0.001) stay. The duration of mechanical ventilation was independently associated with the risk of developing neurological complications (odds ratio 1.100, 95% CI 1.046-1.175, p = 0.001). Patients with increased intracranial pressure measured by ONSD (19% of the overall population) had longer ICU stay. Conclusions: Neurological complications are common in critically ill patients with COVID-19 receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and are associated with prolonged ICU length of stay. Multimodal noninvasive neuromonitoring systems are useful tools for the early detection of variations in cerebrovascular parameters in COVID-19.

Abstract
PURPOSE We explored whether severe or critical hypotension can be predicted, based on patient and resuscitation characteristics in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. We also explored the association of hypotension with mortality and neurological outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a post hoc analysis of the TTH48 study (NCT01689077), where 355 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients were randomized to targeted temperature management (TTM) treatment at 33 °C for either 24 or 48 h. We recorded hypotension, according to four severity categories, within four days from admission. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis to test association of admission data with severe or critical hypotension. RESULTS Diabetes mellitus (OR 3.715, 95% CI 1.180-11.692), longer ROSC delay (OR 1.064, 95% CI 1.022-1.108), admission MAP (OR 0.960, 95% CI 0.929-0.991) and non-shockable rhythm (OR 5.307, 95% CI 1.604-17.557) were associated with severe or critical hypotension. Severe or critical hypotension was associated with increased mortality and poor neurological outcome at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes, non-shockable rhythm, longer delay to ROSC and lower admission MAP were predictors of severe or critical hypotension. Severe or critical hypotension was associated with poor outcome.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. We provide preliminary multicenter data to suggest that recruitment and collection of physiologic data necessary to quantify cerebral autoregulation and individualized blood pressure targets are feasible in postcardiac arrest patients. We evaluated the feasibility of a multicenter protocol to enroll patients across centers, as well as collect continuous recording (≥ 80% of monitoring time) of regional cerebral oxygenation and mean arterial pressure, which is required to quantify cerebral autoregulation, using the cerebral oximetry index, and individualized optimal mean arterial pressure thresholds. Additionally, we conducted an exploratory analysis to assess if an increased percentage of monitoring time where mean arterial pressure was greater than or equal to 5 mm Hg below optimal mean arterial pressure, percentage of monitoring time with dysfunctional cerebral autoregulation (i.e., cerebral oximetry index ≥ 0.3), and time to return of spontaneous circulation were associated with an unfavorable neurologic outcome (i.e., 6-mo Cerebral Performance Category score ≥ 3).

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
Cardiac arrest (CA) results in multiorgan ischemia until return of spontaneous circulation and often is followed by a low-flow shock state. Upon restoration of circulation and organ perfusion, resuscitative teams must act quickly to achieve clinical stability while simultaneously addressing the underlying etiology of the initial event. Optimal cardiovascular care demands focused management of the post-cardiac arrest syndrome and associated shock. Acute coronary syndrome should be considered and managed in a timely manner, because early revascularization improves patient outcomes and may suppress refractory arrhythmias. This review outlines the diagnostic and therapeutic considerations that define optimal cardiovascular care after CA.

Abstract
The use of cerebral autoregulation monitoring to identify patient-specific optimal mean arterial pressure (MAPOPT) has emerged as a technique to augment cerebral oxygen delivery in post-cardiac arrest patients. Our systematic review aims to determine (a) the average MAPOPT in these patients, (b) the feasibility of identifying MAPOPT, (c) the brain tissue oxygenation levels when MAP is within proximity to the MAPOPT and (d) the relationship between neurological outcome and MAPOPT-targeted resuscitation strategies. We carried out this review in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. We included all studies that used cerebral autoregulation to determine MAPOPT in adult patients (> 16 years old) who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following cardiac arrest. All studies had to include our primary outcome of MAPOPT. We excluded studies where the patients had any history of traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage. We identified six studies with 181 patients. There was wide variability in cerebral autoregulation monitoring methods, length of monitoring, calculation and reporting of MAPOPT. Amongst all studies, the median or mean MAPOPT was consistently above 65 mmHg (range 70-114 mmHg). Definitions of feasibility varied among studies and were difficult to summarize. Only one study noted that brain tissue oxygenation increased as patients' MAP approached MAPOPT. There was no consistent association between targeting MAPOPT and improved neurological outcome. There is considerable heterogeneity in MAPOPT due to differences in monitoring methods of autoregulation. Further research is needed to assess the clinical utility of MAPOPT-guided strategies on decreasing secondary injury and improving neurological outcomes after ROSC.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) afflicts ~ 550,000 people each year in the USA. A small fraction of CA sufferers survive with a majority of these survivors emerging in a comatose state. Many CA survivors suffer devastating global brain injury with some remaining indefinitely in a comatose state. The pathogenesis of global brain injury secondary to CA is complex. Mechanisms of CA-induced brain injury include ischemia, hypoxia, cytotoxicity, inflammation, and ultimately, irreversible neuronal damage. Due to this complexity, it is critical for clinicians to have access as early as possible to quantitative metrics for diagnosing injury severity, accurately predicting outcome, and informing patient care. Current recommendations involve using multiple modalities including clinical exam, electrophysiology, brain imaging, and molecular biomarkers. This multi-faceted approach is designed to improve prognostication to avoid "self-fulfilling" prophecy and early withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments. Incorporation of emerging dynamic monitoring tools such as diffuse optical technologies may provide improved diagnosis and early prognostication to better inform treatment. Currently, targeted temperature management (TTM) is the leading treatment, with the number of patients needed to treat being ~ 6 in order to improve outcome for one patient. Future avenues of treatment, which may potentially be combined with TTM, include pharmacotherapy, perfusion/oxygenation targets, and pre/postconditioning. In this review, we provide a bench to bedside approach to delineate the pathophysiology, prognostication methods, current targeted therapies, and future directions of research surrounding hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) secondary to CA.
