Am J Emerg Med 2024; 84:87-92. [PMID: 39106738 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2024.07.038] [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: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Established protocols for implementing high-quality targeted temperature management (TTM) provide guidance concerning the cooling rate, duration of maintenance, and rewarming speed. However, whether compliant to TTM protocols results in improved survival and better neurological recovery has not been examined. METHODS A retrospective cohort study enrolled 1141 survivors of non-traumatic adult cardiac arrest with a pre-arrest cerebral performance category (CPC) score of 1-2 from 2015 to 2020 at a tertiary medical center. Of the survivors, 330 patients who underwent TTM were further included. Patients with spontaneous hypothermia (<35 °C) (n = 107) and expired during the TTM (n = 21) were excluded. A total of 202 patients were thus enrolled. One hundred and ten patients underwent TTM that completely complied with the protocol (protocol-complaint group), but 92 patients deviated in some manner from the protocol (protocol non-compliant group). RESULTS Fifty patients (50%) and 46 patients (50%) in the protocol-compliant and non-compliant groups, respectively, did not survive to hospital discharge. In the protocol-compliant group, 42 patients (38.2%) had favorable neurological recovery, compared with 32 patients (34.8%) in the protocol non-compliant group. After adjusting for age, initial shockable rhythm, witnessed collapse, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration, protocol non-compliant was associated with the poor neurological outcomes (aOR 2.44, 95% CI = 1.13-5.25), but not with in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.31, 95% CI = 0.70-2.47). The most common reason for noncompliance was a prolonged duration reaching the target temperature (n = 33, 58.7%). The number of phases of non-compliant was not significantly associated with in-hospital mortality or poor neurological recovery. CONCLUSION Among cardiac arrest survivors undergoing TTM, those who did not receive TTM that in compliance with the protocol were more likely to experience poor neurological recovery than those whose TTM fully complied with the protocols. The most frequently identified deviation was a prolonged duration to reaching the target temperature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a potential intervention for OHCA, but its effectiveness compared to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) needs further evaluation. METHOD We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov for relevant studies from January 2010 to March 2023. Pooled meta-analysis was performed to investigate any potential association between ECPR and improved survival and neurological outcomes. RESULTS This systematic review and meta-analysis included two randomized controlled trials enrolling 162 participants and 10 observational cohort studies enrolling 4507 participants. The pooled meta-analysis demonstrated that compared to CCRP, ECPR did not improve survival and neurological outcomes at 180 days following OHCA (RR: 3.39, 95% CI: 0.79 to 14.64; RR: 2.35, 95% CI: 0.97 to 5.67). While a beneficial effect of ECPR was obtained regarding 30-day survival and neurological outcomes. Furthermore, ECPR was associated with a higher risk of bleeding complications. Subgroup analysis showed that ECPR was prominently beneficial when exclusively initiated in the emergency department. Additional post-resuscitation treatments did not significantly impact the efficacy of ECPR on 180-day survival with favorable neurological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS There is no high-quality evidence supporting the superiority of ECPR over CCPR in terms of survival and neurological outcomes in OHCA patients. However, due to the potential for bias, heterogeneity among studies, and inconsistency in practice, the non-significant results do not preclude the potential benefits of ECPR. Further high-quality research is warranted to optimize ECPR practice and provide more generalizable evidence.

Abstract
Background International guidelines for neuroprotection following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) recommend fever prevention ahead of routine temperature management. This study aimed to identify any effect of changing from targeted temperature management to fever prevention on neurological outcome following OHCA. Methods A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted of consecutive admissions to an ICU at a tertiary OHCA centre. Comparison was made between a period of protocolised targeted temperature management (TTM) to 36 °C and a period of fever prevention. Results Data were available for 183 patients. Active temperature management was administered in 86/118 (72%) of the TTM cohort and 20/65 (31%) of the fever prevention group. The median highest temperature prior to the start of temperature management was significantly lower in the TTM group at 35.6 (IQR 34.9-36.2) compared to 37.9 °C (IQR 37.7-38.2) in the fever prevention group (adjusted p < 0.001).There was no difference in the proportion of patients discharged with Cerebral Performance Category 1 or 2 between the groups (42% vs. 40%, p = 0.88). Patients in the fever prevention group required a reduced duration of noradrenaline (36 vs. 46 h, p = 0.03) and a trend towards a reduced duration of propofol (37 vs. 56 h, p = 0.06).In unadjusted analysis, use of active temperature management (irrespective of group) appeared to be associated with decreased risk of poor outcome (OR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.23-0.78) but after adjustment for patient age, presenting rhythm, witnessed arrest and duration of CPR, this was no longer significant (OR = 0.93, 95% CI 0.37-2.31, p = 0.88). Conclusion Switching from TTM to fever prevention following OHCA was associated with similar rates of neurological outcomes, with a possible decrease in sedation and vasopressor requirements.

The role of targeted temperature management in 30-day hospital readmissions in cardiac arrest survivors: A national population-based study. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2023; 46:101207. [PMID: 37113651 PMCID: PMC10127122 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2023.101207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
Background Targeted temperature management (TTM) implementation following resuscitation from cardiac arrest is controversial. Although prior studies have shown that TTM improves neurological outcomes and mortality, less is known about the rates or causes of readmission in cardiac arrest survivors within 30 days. We aimed to determine whether the implementation of TTM improves all-cause 30-day unplanned readmission rates in cardiac arrest survivors. Methods Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database, we identified 353,379 adult cardiac arrest index hospitalizations and discharges using the International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th codes. The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause unplanned readmissions following cardiac arrest discharge. Secondary outcomes included 30-day readmission rates and reasons, including impacts on other organ systems. Results Of 353,379 discharges for cardiac arrest with 30-day readmission, 9,898 (2.80%) received TTM during index hospitalization. TTM implementation was associated with lower 30-day all-cause unplanned readmission rates versus non-recipients (6.30% vs. 9.30%, p < 0.001). During index hospitalization, receiving TTM was also associated with higher rates of AKI (41.12% vs. 37.62%, p < 0.001) and AHF (20.13% vs. 17.30%, p < 0.001). We identified an association between lower rates of 30-day readmission for AKI (18.34% vs. 27.48%, p < 0.05) and trend toward lower AHF readmissions (11.32% vs. 17.97%, p = 0.05) among TTM recipients. Conclusions Our study highlights a possible negative association between TTM and unplanned 30-day readmission in cardiac arrest survivors, thereby potentially reducing the impact and burden of increased short-term readmission in these patients. Future randomized studies are warranted to optimize TTM use during post-arrest care.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) and cardiac arrest (CA) are the most life-threatening complications of acute myocardial infarction. Although there is a significant overlap in the pathophysiology with approximately half the patients with CS experiencing a CA and approximately two-thirds of patients with CA developing CS, comprehensive guideline recommendations for management of CA + CS are lacking. This paper summarizes the current evidence on the incidence, pathophysiology, and short- and long-term outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by concomitant CA + CS. We discuss the hemodynamic factors and unique challenges that need to be accounted for while developing treatment strategies for these patients. A summary of expert-based step-by-step recommendations to the approach and treatment of these patients, both in the field before admission and in-hospital management, are presented.

Abstract
For the past two decades, targeted temperature management (TTM) has been a staple in the care of comatose survivors following cardiac arrest. However, recent clinical trials have failed to replicate the benefit seen in earlier studies, bringing into question the very existence of such clinical practice. In this review, we explore clinical scenarios within critical care that appeared to share a similar fate, but in actuality changed the landscape of practice in a modern world. Accordingly, clinicians may apply these lessons to the utilization of TTM among comatose survivors following cardiac arrest, potentially paving way for a re-framing of clinical care amidst an environment where current data appears upside down in comparison to past successes.

Influence of the Level of Emergency Medical Facility on the Short-Term Treatment Results of Cardiac Arrest: Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and Interhospital Transfer. Emerg Med Int 2022; 2022:2662956.

Abstract
Objective. This study aimed to elucidate whether direct transport of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients to higher-level emergency medical centres (EMCs) would result in better survival compared to resuscitation in smaller local emergency departments (EDs) and subsequent transfer. Methods. This study was a retrospective population-based analysis of cases registered in the national database of 2019. This study investigated the immediate results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for OHCA compared between EMCs and EDs and the results of therapeutic temperature management (TTM) compared between the patients directly transported from the field and those transferred from other hospitals. In-hospital mortality was compared using multivariate logistic regression. Results. From the population dataset, 11,493 OHCA patients were extracted. (8,912 in the EMC group vs. 2,581 in the ED group). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the odds for ED mortality were lower with treatment in EDs than with treatment in EMCs. (odds ratio 0.712 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.638–0.796)). From the study dataset, 1,798 patients who received TTM were extracted. (1,164 in the direct visit group vs. 634 in the transferred group). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the odds ratio for overall mortality was 1.411 (95% CI: 0.809–2.446) in the transferred group. (
). Conclusion. The immediate outcome of OHCA patients who were transported to EDs was not inferior to that of EMCs. Therefore, it would be acceptable to transport OHCA patients to the nearest emergency facilities rather than to the specialized centres in distant areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) are at risk of cerebral reperfusion injury after prolonged hypoperfusion and immediate restoration of systemic blood flow. We aimed to examine the impact of mild hypothermia during the first 24 h post-ECMO on neurological outcomes in VA-ECMO patients. METHODS This was a retrospective study of adult VA-ECMO patients from a tertiary care center. Mild hypothermia was defined as 32-36°C during the first 24 h post-ECMO. The primary outcome was a good neurological function at discharge measured by a modified Rankin Scale ≤3. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed for primary outcome adjusting for pre-specified covariates. RESULTS Overall, 128 consecutive patients with VA-ECMO support (median age: 60 years and 63% males) were included. Within the first 24 h of VA-ECMO cannulation, we found a median of 71 readings per patient (interquartile range 45-88). Eighty-eight patients (68.8%) experienced mild hypothermia within the first 24 h while 18 of those 88 patients (14.2%) had a mean temperature <36°C. ECMO indications included post-cardiotomy shock (39.8%), cardiac arrest (29.7%), and cardiogenic shock (26.6%). Duration of mild hypothermia, but not mean temperature, was independently associated with increased odds of good neurological outcome at discharge (odds ratio [OR] = 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04-1.31, p = .01) after adjusting for age, the severity of illness, post-ECMO systemic hemorrhage, post-cardiotomy shock, acute brain injury, and mean 24-h PaO2 . Neither duration of mild hypothermia (OR = 0.93, CI = 0.84-1.03, p = .17) nor mean temperature (OR = 0.78, CI = 0.29-2.08, p = .62) was significantly associated with mortality. Similarly, duration of mild hypothermia (p = .47) and mean 24-h temperature (p = .76) were not significantly associated with the frequency of systemic hemorrhages. CONCLUSIONS In this single-center study, a longer duration of mild hypothermia during the first 24 h of ECMO support was significantly associated with improved neurological outcomes. Mild hypothermia was not associated with an increased risk of systemic hemorrhage or improved survival.

Prognostic Effect of Underlying Chronic Kidney Disease and Renal Replacement Therapy on the Outcome of Patients after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Nationwide Observational Study. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58030444. [PMID: 35334620 PMCID: PMC8948889 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58030444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study assessed the prognostic value of underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) on the clinical outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted utilizing the population-based OHCA data of South Korea between 2008 and 2018. Adult (>18 years) OHCA patients with a medical cause of cardiac arrest were included and classified into three categories based on the underlying CKD and RRT: (1) non-CKD group; (2) CKD without RRT group; and (3) CKD with RRT group. A total of 13,682 eligible patients were included (non-CKD, 9863; CKD without RRT, 1778; CKD with RRT, 2041). From the three comparison subgroups, data with propensity score matching were extracted. The influence of CKD and RRT on patient outcomes was assessed using propensity score matching and multivariate logistic regression analyses. The primary outcome was survival at hospital discharge and the secondary outcome was a good neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Results: The two CKD groups (CKD without RRT and CKD with RRT) showed no significant difference in survival at hospital discharge compared with the non-CKD group (CKD without RRT vs. non-CKD, p > 0.05; CKD with RRT vs. non-CKD, p > 0.05). The non-CKD group had a higher chance of having good neurological outcomes than the CKD groups (non-CKD vs. CKD without RRT, p < 0.05; non-CKD vs. CKD with RRT, p < 0.05) whereas there was no significant difference between the two CKD groups (CKD without RRT vs. CKD with RRT, p > 0.05). Conclusions: Compared with patients without CKD, the underlying cause of CKD—regardless of RRT—may be linked to poor neurological outcomes. Underlying CKD and RRT had no effect on the survival at hospital discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temperature control with target temperature management (TTM) after cardiac arrest has been endorsed by expert societies and adopted in international clinical practice guidelines but recent evidence challenges the use of hypothermic TTM. METHODS Systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis of clinical trials on adult survivors from cardiac arrest undergoing TTM for at least 12 h comparing TTM versus no TTM or with a separation > 2 °C between intervention and control groups using the PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL databases from inception to 1 September 2021 (PROSPERO CRD42021248140). All randomised and quasi-randomised controlled trials were considered. The risk ratio and 95% confidence interval for death (primary outcome) and unfavourable neurological recovery (secondary outcome) were captured using the original study definitions censored up to 180 days after cardiac arrest. Bias was assessed using the updated Cochrane risk-of-bias for randomised trials tool and certainty of evidence assessed using the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology. A hierarchical robust Bayesian model-averaged meta-analysis was performed using both minimally informative and data-driven priors and reported by mean risk ratio (RR) and its 95% credible interval (95% CrI). RESULTS In seven studies (three low bias, three intermediate bias, one high bias, very low to low certainty) recruiting 3792 patients the RR by TTM 32-34 °C was 0.95 [95% CrI 0.78-1.09] for death and RR 0.93 [95% CrI 0.84-1.02] for unfavourable neurological outcome. The posterior probability for no benefit (RR ≥ 1) by TTM 32-34 °C was 24% for death and 12% for unfavourable neurological outcome. The posterior probabilities for favourable treatment effects of TTM 32-34 °C were the highest for an absolute risk reduction of 2-4% for death (28-53% chance) and unfavourable neurological outcome (63-78% chance). Excluding four studies without active avoidance of fever in the control arm reduced the probability to achieve an absolute risk reduction > 2% for death or unfavourable neurological outcome to ≤ 50%. CONCLUSIONS The posterior probability distributions did not support the use of TTM at 32-34 °C compared to 36 °C also including active control of fever to reduce the risk of death and unfavourable neurological outcome at 90-180 days. Any likely benefit of hypothermic TTM is smaller than targeted in RCTs to date.

Abstract
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the treatment of cardiopulmonary failure in children with malignant tumors is controversial. There are few reports on the use of ECMO in the treatment of children with tumor lysis syndrome. This article reports a case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with hyperkalemia and cardiogenic shock. The discovery of an abdominal mass with critical ultrasound provided key evidence for the initial diagnosis of tumor lysis syndrome. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed for 1 h. Veno-arterial ECMO was installed at the bedside to provide cardiopulmonary support for the patient and was combined with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) to improve her internal environment. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with mature B-cell lymphoma with tumor lysis syndrome. A severe electrolyte disorder led to cardiogenic shock. After the electrolyte imbalance was corrected, the patient's heart function gradually improved, ECMO was successfully weaned, and chemotherapy was continued with the support of CRRT. One month after ECMO weaning, the organ function of the patient had recovered and there were no serious complications. In this case report, we paid attention to the rapid diagnosis of the etiology behind a patient's shock with critical ultrasound as well as the initiation and management of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), which provided us with valuable experience using VA-ECMO on critically ill children with tumors. It is also important evidence for the use of ECMO in the treatment of children with cardiopulmonary arrest secondary to malignancy.

Abstract
Resuscitation guidelines are developed and revised by medical societies throughout the world. These guidelines are increasingly based on evidence from preclinical and clinical research. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation reviews evidence for each resuscitation practice and provides summary consensus statements that inform resuscitation guideline committees. A similar process is used for different populations including neonatal, pediatric, and adult resuscitation. The NeoHeart 2020 Conference brought together experts in resuscitation to discuss recent evidence and guidelines for resuscitation practices. This review summarizes the main focus of discussion from this symposium.

Abstract
PURPOSE Targeted temperature management (TTM) is a standard of care in patients after cardiac arrest for neuroprotection. Currently, the effectiveness and efficacy of TTM after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is unknown. We aimed to compare neurological and survival outcomes between TTM vs non-TTM in patients undergoing ECPR for refractory cardiac arrest. METHODS We searched PubMed and 5 other databases for randomized controlled trials and observational studies reporting neurological outcomes or survival in adult patients undergoing ECPR with or without TTM. Good neurological outcome was defined as cerebral performance category <3. Two independent reviewers extracted the data. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to pool data. RESULTS We included 35 studies (n = 2,643) with the median age of 56 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 52-59). The median time from collapse to ECMO cannulation was 58 minutes (IQR: 49-82) and the median ECMO duration was 3 days (IQR: 2.0-4.1). Of 2,643, 1,329 (50.3%) patients received TTM and 1,314 (49.7%) did not. There was no difference in the frequency of good neurological outcome at any time between TTM (29%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 23%-36%) vs. without TTM (19%, 95% CI: 9%-31%) in patients with ECPR (P = 0.09). Similarly, there was no difference in overall survival between patients with TTM (30%, 95% CI: 22%-39%) vs. without TTM (24%, 95% CI: 14%-34%) (P = 0.31). A cumulative meta-analysis by publication year showed improved neurological and survival outcomes over time. CONCLUSIONS Among ECPR patients, survival and neurological outcome were not different between those with TTM vs. without TTM. Our study suggests that neurological and survival outcome are improving over time as ECPR therapy is more widely used. Our results were limited by the heterogeneity of included studies and further research with granular temperature data is necessary to assess the benefit and risk of TTM in ECPR population.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) results in global ischemia-reperfusion injury damaging tissues in the whole body. The landscape of therapeutic interventions in resuscitation medicine has evolved from focusing solely on achieving return of circulation to now exploring options to mitigate brain injury and preserve brain function after CA. CA pathology includes mitochondrial damage and endoplasmic reticulum stress response, increased generation of reactive oxygen species, neuroinflammation, and neuronal excitotoxic death. Current non-pharmacologic therapies, such as therapeutic hypothermia and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, have shown benefits in protecting against ischemic brain injury and improving neurological outcomes post-CA, yet their application is difficult to institute ubiquitously. The current preclinical pharmacopeia to address CA and the resulting brain injury utilizes drugs that often target singular pathways and have been difficult to translate from the bench to the clinic. Furthermore, the limited combination therapies that have been attempted have shown mixed effects in conferring neuroprotection and improving survival post-CA. The global scale of CA damage and its resultant brain injury necessitates the future of CA interventions to simultaneously target multiple pathways and alleviate the hemodynamic, mitochondrial, metabolic, oxidative, and inflammatory processes in the brain. This narrative review seeks to highlight the current field of post-CA neuroprotective pharmaceutical therapies, both singular and combination, and discuss the use of an extensive multi-drug cocktail therapy as a novel approach to treat CA-mediated dysregulation of multiple pathways, enhancing survival, and neuroprotection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory critical care guidelines suggest heating the air/oxygen mixture but do not recommend a specific temperature target. We aimed to clarify if the inspired gas temperature influences lung mechanics and gas exchange in intubated patients treated with whole body hypothermia (WBH) or normothermia (NT). METHODS Prospective cohort study enrolling neonates ventilated for perinatal asphyxia resuscitation (no lung disease) or acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Patients were divided between those ventilated in NT or WBH. Compliance (Cdyn), airway resistances (Raw), oxygenation index (OI), PaO2/FiO2, A-a gradient, a/A ratio, estimated alveolar dead space (VDalv), ventilatory index (VI) and CO2 production (VCO2) were registered at the study beginning (inspired gas at 37°C). Then, gas temperature was decreased (32 °C) and variables were recorded again after 1 and 3 h. Data were analysed with univariate and multivariate repeated measures-ANOVA. RESULTS Cdyn, Raw, OI, PaO2/FiO2, A-a gradient, a/A ratio, VDalv, VI and VCO2 are similar between WBH and NT at any timepoint (between-subjects effect); these results do not change adjusting for the presence of respiratory failure. When this is considered in multivariate ANOVA (within-subjects effect), Cdyn (p = 0.016), Raw (p = 0.034) and VDalv (p < 0.001) were worse in patients with respiratory failure than in those without lung disease. CONCLUSIONS Decreasing the gas temperature from 37 °C to 32 °C for 3 h does not change lung mechanics and gas exchange, neither in neonates with, nor in those without respiratory failure and in those treated in NT or WBH. These findings fill a knowledge gap regarding the effect of inspired gas temperature during WBH: they may inform future respiratory critical care guidelines.

Changes in temperature management and outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in United Kingdom intensive care units following publication of the targeted temperature management trial. Resuscitation 2021; 162:304-311. [PMID: 33819502 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.03.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
AIM To investigate how the publication of the targeted temperature management (TTM) trial in December 2013 affected the trends in temperature management and outcome following admission to UK intensive care units (ICUs) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS We used a national ICU database of 1,181,405 consecutive admissions to 235 adult ICUs. OHCA admissions mechanically ventilated in the first 24 h in the ICU were divided into a pre-TTM trial cohort of patients admitted before publication of the TTM trial (January 2010-December 2013) and post-TTM cohort of patients admitted after TTM trial publication (January 2014-December 2017). The primary outcome variables were lowest temperature in the first 24 h in ICU and survival to hospital discharge. RESULTS The lowest temperature recorded in the first-24 h of admission was significantly higher in the post-TTM cohort (n = 18,106) than in the pre-TTM cohort (n = 12,162) (mean 34.7 (±1.6) versus 33.6 °C (±1.8); absolute difference 1.12 °C (95% CI 1.08-1.16). The post-TTM cohort had a greater prevalence of fever (>38.0 °C) (24.8% vs 14.7%; (odds ratio (OR) 1.91 (95% CI 1.80-2.03); p < 0.001)) and higher unadjusted in-hospital mortality (63.7% vs 61.6%). In a multilevel model, accounting for time trend and including site as a random effect, neither the step change in acute hospital mortality following publication of the TTM trial result (OR 1.04, 95% CI 0.95-1.15; p = 0.37), nor the change in slope (from OR 1.00 per year, 95% CI 0.97-1.04, to 1.04 per year, 95% CI 1.02-1.07; p = 0.059), was statistically significant. Adjusted analyses were limited by the models' dependence on temperature and temperature-related variables. CONCLUSIONS The lowest temperature recorded in the first-24 h of admission in OHCA patients was higher in the post-TTM cohort compared with the pre-TTM cohort. There has been an increase in the proportion of patients with fever (>38 °C) in the first 24 h. Although crude mortality was slightly higher in the post-TTM cohort, an analysis accounting for time trend and variation between critical care units, found no significant change associated with the TTM publication.

Echocardiographic parameters during prolonged targeted temperature Management in out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Survivors to predict neurological outcome - a post-hoc analysis of the TTH48 trial. Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med 2021; 29:37. [PMID: 33608045 PMCID: PMC7893899 DOI: 10.1186/s13049-021-00849-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 02/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) indices of myocardial function among survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have been related to neurological outcome; however, results are inconsistent. We hypothesized that changes in average peak systolic mitral annular velocity (s') from 24 h (h) to 72 h following start of targeted temperature management (TTM) predict six-month neurological outcome in comatose OHCA survivors. METHODS We investigated the association between peak systolic velocity of the mitral plane (s') and six-month neurological outcome in a population of 99 patients from a randomised controlled trial comparing TTM at 33 ± 1 °C for 24 h (h) (n = 47) vs. 48 h (n = 52) following OHCA (TTH48-trial). TTE was conducted at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after reaching target temperature. The primary outcome was 180 days neurological outcome assessed by Cerebral Performance Category score (CPC180) and the primary TTE outcome measure was s'. Secondary outcome measures were left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), e', E/e' and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE). RESULTS Across all three scan time points s' was not associated with neurological outcome (ORs: 24 h: 1.0 (95%CI: 0.7-1.4, p = 0.98), 48 h: 1.13 (95%CI: 0.9-1.4, p = 0.34), 72 h: 1.04 (95%CI: 0.8-1.4, p = 0.76)). LVEF, GLS, E/e', and TAPSE recorded on serial TTEs following OHCA were neither associated with nor did they predict CPC180. Estimated median e' at 48 h following TTM was 5.74 cm/s (95%CI: 5.27-6.22) in patients with good outcome (CPC180 1-2) vs. 4.95 cm/s (95%CI: 4.37-5.54) in patients with poor outcome (CPC180 3-5) (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS s' assessed on serial TTEs in comatose survivors of OHCA treated with TTM was not associated with CPC180. Our findings suggest that serial TTEs in the early post-resuscitation phase during TTM do not aid the prognostication of neurological outcome following OHCA. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02066753 .

Abstract
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death in adults around the world. And in some patients, SCA is followed by a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and remain unresponsive. International guidelines recommend therapeutic hypothermia within 4 hours of ROSC for patients' survival. A medium-sized tertiary teaching hospital in the Midwestern United States was not achieving the recommendations of therapeutic hypothermia therapy. A root cause analysis identified multiple factors contributed to therapy delay. In March 2019, this hospital embarked on a 6-month trial of an intravascular targeted temperature management (ITTM) system to meet the recommendations. Donabedian's model guided the trial and included patients who suffered an SCA, with ROSC and remained unresponsive. Descriptive analysis was completed to compare the patients before and after the trial. The trial included interprofessional education of the ITTM system, policies, orders, and new process for initiating the therapy. A total of nine patients were included in the trial and with an average time to target temperature was 3.28 hours compared with 8.81 hours before the trial. The trial demonstrated ITTM was successful in meeting the recommendations. Paired with the promising research on the system's effectiveness, we have demonstrated that intravascular cooling can be implemented to reach the international recommendations. These reductions in treatment delays may prompt improved outcomes for individuals in the post-SCA population.

Abstract
Background Despite the benefits of targeted temperature management (TTM) for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest), implementation within the United States remains low. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with TTM use in a large, urban‐suburban regional system of care. Methods and Results This was a retrospective analysis from the Los Angeles County regional cardiac system of care serving a population of >10 million residents. All adult patients aged ≥18 years with non‐traumatic out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest transported to a cardiac arrest center from April 2011 to August 2017 were included. Patients awake and alert in the emergency department and patients who died in the emergency department before consideration for TTM were excluded. The primary outcome measure was prevalence of TTM use. The secondary analysis were annual trends in TTM use over the study period and factors associated with TTM use. The study population included 8072 patients; 4154 patients (51.5%) received TTM and 3767 patients (46.7%) did not receive TTM. Median age was 67 years, 4780 patients (59.2%) were men, 4645 patients (57.5%) were non‐White, and the most common arrest location was personal residence in 4841 patients (60.0%). In the adjusted analysis, younger age, male sex, an initial shockable rhythm, witnessed arrest, and receiving coronary angiography were associated with receiving TTM. Conclusions Within this regional system of care, use of TTM was higher than previously reported in the literature at just over 50%. Use of integrated systems of care may be a novel method to increase TTM use within the United States.

Abstract
This 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations for advanced life support includes updates on multiple advanced life support topics addressed with 3 different types of reviews. Topics were prioritized on the basis of both recent interest within the resuscitation community and the amount of new evidence available since any previous review. Systematic reviews addressed higher-priority topics, and included double-sequential defibrillation, intravenous versus intraosseous route for drug administration during cardiac arrest, point-of-care echocardiography for intra-arrest prognostication, cardiac arrest caused by pulmonary embolism, postresuscitation oxygenation and ventilation, prophylactic antibiotics after resuscitation, postresuscitation seizure prophylaxis and treatment, and neuroprognostication. New or updated treatment recommendations on these topics are presented. Scoping reviews were conducted for anticipatory charging and monitoring of physiological parameters during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Topics for which systematic reviews and new Consensuses on Science With Treatment Recommendations were completed since 2015 are also summarized here. All remaining topics reviewed were addressed with evidence updates to identify any new evidence and to help determine which topics should be the highest priority for systematic reviews in the next 1 to 2 years.

Abstract
For years, moderate hypothermia (32 °C) has been proposed as an unorthodox therapy for liver injuries, with proven hepatoprotective potential. Yet, limited mechanistic understanding has largely denied its acceptance over conventional pharmaceuticals for hepatoprotection. Today, facing a high prevalence of acetaminophen-induced liver injury (AILI) which accounts for the highest incidence of acute liver failure, hypothermia was evaluated as a potential therapy to combat AILI. For which, transforming growth factor-α transgenic mouse hepatocytes (TAMH) were subjected to concomitant 5 mM acetaminophen toxicity and moderate hypothermic conditioning for 24 h. Thereafter, its impact on mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, glutathione homeostasis and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathways were investigated. In the presence of AILI, hypothermia displayed simultaneous mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis to conserve functional mitochondria. Furthermore, antioxidant response was apparent with higher glutathione recycling and repressed JNK activation. These effects were, however, unremarkable with hypothermia alone without liver injury. This may suggest an adaptive response of hypothermia only to the injured sites, rendering it favorable as a potential targeted therapy. In fact, its cytoprotective effects were displayed in other DILI of similar pathology as acetaminophen i.e., valproate- and diclofenac-induced liver injury and this further corroborates the mechanistic findings of hypothermic actions on AILI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has been increasingly used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in select patients. Few centers have published their experience or outcomes with ECPR. The aim of our study was to evaluate outcomes of adult patients in cardiac arrest placed on VA ECMO in the catheterization laboratory. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of adult patients in refractory cardiac arrest who underwent ECPR at the Minneapolis Heart Institute (MHI) at Abbott Northwestern Hospital from January 2012 to December 2017. Relevant data were obtained from electronic medical records, including arrest to ECMO flow time, total ECMO support time, and outcomes. RESULTS Twenty-six adult patients underwent ECPR at the study site during the defined time period. Seven patients (27%) sustained cardiac arrest out of hospital, 19 patients arrested in-hospital with eight of those occurring in the catheterization laboratory. Seventeen (65%) patients had initial rhythm of ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia (VF/VT). All patients underwent mechanical CPR with LUCAS device. Overall 30 day and 6 month survival was 69%. Median time from arrest to ECMO flow was 46 mins (21,68) vs 61 mins (36,71) in survivors and non-survivors, respectively. Sixteen of 18 survivors discharged with a CPC score of 1 or 2. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that adult patients in cardiac arrest initiated on VA ECMO in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and cared for by a multidisciplinary shock team in the critical care unit have superior long-term survival and functionally favorable neurologic recovery when compared to current literature.

Abstract
Background The incidence and mortality of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high, but predicting outcomes is challenging. Being able to better assess prognosis of hospitalized patients after return of spontaneous circulation would enable improved management of survival expectations. In this study, we assessed the predictive value of ECG indexes in hospitalized patients with OHCA. Methods and Results PR interval and QT interval corrected by the Bazett formula (QTc) for all leads were calculated from standard 12-lead ECGs 24 hours after return of spontaneous circulation in 93 patients who were hospitalized following OHCA. PR interval and QT and QTc duration did not differentiate OHCA survivors and nonsurvivors. However, QT and QTc dispersion was significantly increased in patients who died during hospitalization compared with survivors discharged from the hospital (P<0.01). Logistic regression indicated a strong association between increased QT dispersion and in-hospital mortality (P<0.0001; area under the curve, 0.8918 for QT dispersion and 0.8673 for QTc dispersion). Multinomial logistic regression indicated that the increase of QTc dispersion correlated with worse Cerebral Performance Category scores at discharge (P<0.001; likelihood ratio, 51.42). There was also significant correlation between dispersion measures and serum potassium at the time of measurement and between dispersion measures and cumulative epinephrine administration. No difference existed regarding the number of measurable leads. Conclusions Lesser QT and QTc dispersion at 24 hours after return of spontaneous circulation was significantly associated with survival and neurologic status at discharge. Routine evaluation of QT and QTc dispersion during hospitalization following return of spontaneous circulation might improve outcome prognostication for patients hospitalized for OHCA.

Abstract
Targeted temperature management (TTM) through induced hypothermia (between 32-36 oC) is currently regarded as a first-line treatment during the management of post-cardiac arrest patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The aim of TTM is to afford neuroprotection and reduce secondary neurological damage caused by anoxia. Despite the large body of evidence on its benefits, the TTM is still little used in Spain. There are controversial issues referred to its implementation, such as the optimal target body temperature, timing, duration and the rewarming process. The present study reviews the best available scientific evidence and the current recommendations contained in the international guidelines. In addition, the study focuses on the practical implementation of TTM in post-cardiac arrest patients in general and cardiological ICUs, with a discussion of the implementation strategies, protocols, management of complications and assessment of the neurological prognosis.

[PMID: 34223289 PMCID: PMC8244479 DOI: 10.1016/j.resplu.2020.100002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim Targeted temperature management (TTM) in post-resuscitation care has changed dramatically over the last two decades. However, uptake across Australian and New Zealand (NZ) intensive care units (ICUs) is unclear. We aimed to describe post-resuscitation care in our region, with a focus on TTM, and to gain insights into clinician's opinions about the level of evidence supporting TTM. Methods In December 2017, we sent an online survey to 163 ICU medical directors in Australia (n = 141) and NZ (n = 22). Results Sixty-one ICU medical directors responded (50 from Australia and 11 from NZ). Two respondents were excluded from analysis as their Private ICUs did not admit post-arrest patients. The majority of remaining respondents stated their ICU followed a post-resuscitation care clinical guideline (n = 41/59, 70%). TTM was used in 57 (of 59, 97%) ICUs, of these only 64% had a specific TTM clinical guideline/policy and there was variation in the types of patients treated, temperatures targeted (range = 33-37.5 °C), methods for cooling and duration of cooling (range = 12-72 h). The majority of respondents stated that their ICU (n = 45/57, 88%) changed TTM practice following the TTM trial: with 28% targeting temperatures >36 °C, and 23 (of 46, 50%) respondents expressed concerns with current level of evidence for TTM. Only 38% of post-resuscitation guidelines included prognostication procedures, few ICUs reported the use of electrophysiological tests. Conclusions In Australian and New Zealand ICUs there is widespread variation in post-resuscitation care, including TTM practice and prognostication. There also seems to be concerns with current TTM evidence and recommendations.

Abstract
AIM Worldwide, cardiac arrest (CA) remains a major cause of death. Most post-CA patients are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study is to describe mortality rates and possible changes in mortality rates in patients with CA admitted to the ICU in the Netherlands between 2010 and 2016. METHODS In this study, we included all adult CA patients registered in the National Intensive Care Evaluation (NICE) registry who were admitted to ICUs in the Netherlands between 2010 and 2016. The primary outcome was 1-year mortality which was analysed by Cox regression. The secondary outcomes were ICU mortality and hospital mortality. Hospital mortality was analysed by binary logistic regression analysis. Patients were stratified by whether they experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Finally, the outcome over calendar time was assessed for both groups. RESULTS We included 26,056 CA patients: 10,618 (40.8%) IHCA patients and 14,482 (55.6%) OHCA patients. The 1-year mortality rate was 57.5%: 59% for IHCA and 56.4% for OHCA, p < 0.01. This mortality rate remained stable between 2010 and 2016 for IHCA (p = 0.31) and declined for OHCA patients (p = 0.01). The hospital mortality rate was 50.3%: 50.5% for IHCA and 50.2% for OHCA, p = 0.66. This mortality rate remained stable between 2010-2016 for IHCA (p = 0.21) and decreased for OHCA patients (p < 0.01). An additional analysis with calendar year as a continuous variable showed a mortality decline of 1.56% per calendar year for 1-year mortality. CONCLUSION This nationwide registry cohort study reported a 57.5% 1-year mortality rate for CA patients admitted to the ICU between 2010 and 2016. We reported a decline in 1-year mortality for OHCA patients in these years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebral hypothermia is a known neuroprotectant with promising applications in the treatment of ischemic events. Although systemic cooling is standard in post-cardiac arrest care, the deleterious effects of whole-body cooling have precluded it from translation into a viable treatment option for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Selective cerebral cooling has been proposed as a method to minimize these risks while granting the neuroprotection of therapeutic hypothermia in AIS. METHODS: In a porcine model (n = 3), the efficacy of selective retrograde cerebral cooling through the internal jugular vein was evaluated in the setting of complete cerebral circulatory arrest. Furthermore, a novel endovascular device and cooling system enabling selective retrograde cerebral cooling were studied in a normothermic perfused cadaver. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Neurologic assessment of animals receiving this therapy reflected substantial neuroprotection in animals undergoing both 15 min and 30 min of otherwise catastrophic complete cerebral circulatory arrest. The novel endovascular device and cooling system were validated in human anatomy, demonstrating successful cerebral cooling, and feasibility of this mechanism of selective retrograde cerebral cooling.

Abstract
Mild systemic hypothermia increases gastric mucosal oxygenation (μHbO2) during hemorrhagic shock in dogs. In the context of critical blood loss hypothermia might be fatal due to adverse side effects. Selective regional hypothermia might overcome these limitations. The aim of our study was to analyze the effects of regional gastric and oral mucosal hypothermia on μHbO2 and perfusion (μflow). In a cross-over study six anesthetized dogs were subjected to local oral and gastric mucosal hypothermia (34°C), or maintenance of local normothermia during normovolemia and hemorrhage (-20% blood volume). Macro- and microcirculatory variables were recorded continuously. During normovolemia, local hypothermia increased gastric microcirculatory flow (μflow) without affecting oxygenation (μHbO2) or oral microcirculation. During mild hemorrhagic shock gastric μHbO2 decreased from 72±2% to 38±3% in the normothermic group. This was attenuated by local hypothermia, where μHbO2 was reduced from 74±3% to 52±4%. Local perfusion, oral microcirculation and macrocirculatory variables were not affected. Selective local hypothermia improves gastric μHbO2 during hemorrhagic shock without relevant side effects. In contrast to systemic hypothermia, regional mucosal hypothermia did not affect perfusion and oxygen supply during hemorrhage. Thus, the increased μHbO2 during local hypothermia rather indicates reduced mucosal oxygen demand.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous study found that mild hypothermia (MH) after resuscitation reduced cerebral microcirculation, but the mechanism was not elucidated. The aim of this study was to clarify changes of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) systems in brain tissue during hypothermia after resuscitation. METHODS Twenty-six domestic male Beijing Landrace pigs were used in this study. MH was intravascularly induced 1 h after resuscitation from 8-min ventricular fibrillation. Core temperature was reduced to 33 °C and maintained until 8 h after resuscitation, and then animals were euthanized. ET-1 and NO levels in brain tissue and peripheral plasma were measured. Expression of endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1), endothelin A receptor (ET-AR), endothelin-B receptor, and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in brain tissue was determined by Western blot analysis. RESULTS Compared with non-hypothermia (NH) treatment, MH after resuscitation significantly increased the level of endothelin-1 and reduced the level of NO in peripheral blood and brain tissue. Cerebral expression of ECE-1 and ET-AR was significantly increased during MH after resuscitation. Moreover, MH significantly decreased inducible NOS expression compared with the NH group. CONCLUSIONS The ET-1 system is activated, while inducible NOS is inhibited in brain tissue during MH after resuscitation.

Abstract
Brain injury is the main cause of mortality and morbidity after cardiac arrest (CA). Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) after reperfusion are associated with brain injury and recovery. To characterize the relative CBF (rCBF) after CA, 14 rats underwent 7 min asphyxia-CA and were randomly treated with 6 h post-resuscitation normothermic (36.5-37.5℃) or hypothermic- (32-34℃) targeted temperature management (TTM) (N = 7). rCBF was monitored by a laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) technique. Brain recovery was evaluated by neurologic deficit score (NDS) and quantitative EEG - information quantity (qEEG-IQ). There were regional differences in rCBF among veins of distinct cerebral areas and heterogeneous responses among the three components of the vascular system. Hypothermia immediately following return of spontaneous circulation led to a longer hyperemia duration (19.7 ± 1.8 vs. 12.7 ± 0.8 min, p < 0.01), a lower rCBF (0.73 ± 0.01 vs. 0.79 ± 0.01; p < 0.001) at the hypoperfusion phase, a better NDS (median [25th-75th], 74 [61-77] vs. 49 [40-77], p < 0.01), and a higher qEEG-IQ (0.94 ± 0.02 vs. 0.77 ± 0.02, p < 0.001) compared with normothermic TTM. High resolution LSCI technique demonstrated hypothermic TTM extends hyperemia duration, delays onset of hypoperfusion phase and lowered rCBF, which is associated with early restoration of electrophysiological recovery and improved functional outcome after CA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock has a high mortality rate, despite prompt revascularization, advanced medical therapy and the use of mechanical circulatory support devices. Therapeutic hypothermia is associated with physiological cellular changes in the ischemic myocardium, and a trend towards improved hemodynamics in patients with AMI and cardiogenic shock, but is currently not considered to be a therapeutic modality. A case is presented that supports the role of therapeutic hypothermia as salvage therapy in patients with cardiogenic shock following AMI. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old man who presented with cardiac arrest following an anterior wall AMI due to occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery complicated by cardiogenic shock, underwent emergent percutaneous revascularization with placement of a stent, a percutaneous left ventricular-assist device (LVAD), and a pulmonary artery catheter. Therapeutic hypothermia was initiated to achieve a target core body temperature of between 32-34°C for 24 hours, followed by slow re-warming. However, after rewarming, the patient developed refractory cardiogenic shock, despite revascularization, pharmacological and mechanical circulatory support. A second cycle of therapeutic hypothermia was initiated as salvage therapy, leading to clinical improvement. The patient had a favorable outcome, was discharged from hospital and was able to return to work. CONCLUSIONS The first successful case is described in which therapeutic hypothermia was re-initiated as salvage therapy for cardiogenic shock where no other hemodynamic support resources were available.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ventricular fibrillation (VF)-related sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Current biological and imaging parameters show significant limitations on predicting cerebral performance at hospital admission. The AWAKE study (NCT03248557) is a multicentre observational study to validate a model based on spectral ECG analysis to early predict cerebral performance and survival in resuscitated comatose survivors. METHODS Data from VF ECG tracings of patients resuscitated from SCD will be collected using an electronic Case Report Form. Patients can be either comatose (Glasgow Coma Scale - GCS - ≤8) survivors undergoing temperature control after return of spontaneous circulation (RoSC), or those who regain consciousness (GCS=15) after RoSC; all admitted to Intensive Cardiac Care Units in 4 major university hospitals. VF tracings prior to the first direct current shock will be digitized and analyzed to derive spectral data and feed a predictive model to estimate favorable neurological performance (FNP). The results of the model will be compared to the actual prognosis. RESULTS The primary clinical outcome is FNP during hospitalization. Patients will be categorized into 4 subsets of neurological prognosis according to the risk score obtained from the predictive model. The secondary clinical outcomes are survival to hospital discharge, and FNP and survival after 6 months of follow-up. The model-derived categorisation will be also compared with clinical variables to assess model sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. CONCLUSIONS A model based on spectral analysis of VF tracings is a promising tool to obtain early prognostic data after SCD.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia, also referred to as targeted temperature management, has been a component of the postcardiac arrest treatment guidelines since 2010. Although almost a decade has passed since its inclusion in the postarrest guidelines, many unanswered questions remain regarding selection of the appropriate patient population, optimal target temperature, ideal window of time in which to initiate therapy after arrest, most efficient, safe, and accurate equipment choice for inducing and maintaining hypothermia, most effective duration of treatment, and rate of cooling or rewarming. On a national and international level, critical care nurses are in a unique position to participate in research that will define targeted temperature management protocols and practices. Nurses are also ideal for standardizing the targeted temperature management policy and protocol locally and nationally based on current available evidence. This review aims to serve 2 purposes: first, to provide a broad update on the current clarifications and limitations per research findings on target temperature management therapy; second, to explain how critical care nurses can use this updated information to improve outcomes for their patients with cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in the field of resuscitation science, important knowledge gaps persist. Current guidelines for resuscitation are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation 2015 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations, which includes treatment recommendations supported by the available evidence. The writing group developed this consensus statement with the goal of focusing future research by addressing the knowledge gaps identified during and after the 2015 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation evidence evaluation process. Key publications since the 2015 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations are referenced, along with known ongoing clinical trials that are likely to affect future guidelines.

Abstract
Early assessment of the potential for neurologic recovery in comatose cardiac arrest patients (CCAP) has been a challenge despite significant evolution in management and imaging techniques. The purpose of study was to determine if the use of computed tomography perfusion (CTP) in CCAPs is feasible and if this technique can predict the likelihood that CCAPs will have a devastating outcome at hospital discharge. We prospectively enrolled 10 newly admitted comatose adults who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and were treated with standard therapeutic hypothermia protocols. Patients underwent CTP of the head within 6 hours after finishing therapeutic hypothermia treatment. The imaging findings were compared with the results of a clinical assessment, as well as the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at hospital discharge. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for CTP were calculated to predict clinical outcome. Eight patients had an mRS score of ≥5, and 2 patients had an mRS score of ≤2 at hospital discharge. CTP predicted a good clinical outcome in both patients with an mRS score of ≤2. The area under the curve (AUC) for plain computed tomography of the head, computerized tomography angiogram 4-point scale, computerized tomography angiogram 7-point scale, CTP of the whole brain, and CTP of the brainstem for predicting the results of the immediate clinical assessment were 0.76, 0.83, 0.67, 0.83, and 1.0, respectively. The AUCs for predicting outcome at discharge were 0.69, 0.63, 0.56, 0.63, 0.63, and 0.69, respectively. In conclusion, our pilot study showed that CTP is feasible and had a very high AUC for predicting the results of immediate clinical assessment in CCAP.
