Resusc Plus 2024; 17:100572. [PMID: 38370316 PMCID: PMC10869897 DOI: 10.1016/j.resplu.2024.100572] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim Spectral Flux (SF), which is based on common algorithms in the audio processing field, was applied to quantitatively analyze ECG signals to optimize the timing of defibrillation. With the aim of proving the performance in optimizing the timing of defibrillation, SF was compared with Amplitude Spectrum Area (AMSA) in a porcine model of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in a retrospective analysis experiment. Methods A total of 56 male domestic pigs, weighing 40 ± 5 kg, were induced to undergo VF. Animals were then left untreated for 10 min, and after 6 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) defibrillation was performed. The respective SF and AMSA values were calculated every minute during VF and CPR. Comparisons were made through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, one-way analyses of variance (one-way ANOVA), and scatterplots for the successful initial defibrillation sample (positive samples, Group R) and the failed initial defibrillation sample (negative samples, Group N) to illustrate the performance in optimizing the timing of defibrillation for the AMSA and SF methods. Result Values of SF and AMSA gradually decreased during the 10 min VF period and increased in during the 6 min CPR period. The scatterplots showed that both metrics had the ability to distinguish positive and negative samples (p < .001). Meanwhile, ROC curves showed that SF (area under the curve, AUC = 0.798, p < .001) had the same ability as AMSA (AUC = 0.737, p < .001) to predict the successful defibrillation (Z = 1.35, p = 0.177). Moreover, when comparing the values for AMSA and SF between the successful initial defibrillation samples (Group R) and the failed initial defibrillation samples (Group N), the results showed that the values of both AMSA and SF in Group R were significantly higher than those in Group N (p < .001). Conclusion In the present study, SF method had the same ability as AMSA to predict successful defibrillation with significantly higher values in cases of successful defibrillation than the instances in which defibrillation failed. Additionally, SF method might be more stable than AMSA for filtering out the higher frequency interference signals due to the narrower frequency range and had higher specificity and predictive accuracy than AMSA. So SF method had high clinical potential to optimize the timing of defibrillation. Nevertheless, further animal and clinical studies are still needed to confirm the effectiveness and practicality of SF as a predictive module for defibrillators in clinical practice.

Positive single-center randomized trials and subsequent multicenter randomized trials in critically ill patients: a systematic review. Crit Care 2023; 27:465. [PMID: 38017475 PMCID: PMC10685543 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04755-5] [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: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear how often survival benefits observed in single-center randomized controlled trials (sRCTs) involving critically ill patients are confirmed by subsequent multicenter randomized controlled trials (mRCTs). We aimed to perform a systemic literature review of sRCTs with a statistically significant mortality reduction and to evaluate whether subsequent mRCTs confirmed such reduction. METHODS We searched PubMed for sRCTs published in the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, or Lancet, from inception until December 31, 2016. We selected studies reporting a statistically significant mortality decrease using any intervention (drug, technique, or strategy) in adult critically ill patients. We then searched for subsequent mRCTs addressing the same research question tested by the sRCT. We compared the concordance of results between sRCTs and mRCTs when any mRCT was available. We registered this systematic review in the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42023455362). RESULTS We identified 19 sRCTs reporting a significant mortality reduction in adult critically ill patients. For 16 sRCTs, we identified at least one subsequent mRCT (24 trials in total), while the interventions from three sRCTs have not yet been addressed in a subsequent mRCT. Only one out of 16 sRCTs (6%) was followed by a mRCT replicating a significant mortality reduction; 14 (88%) were followed by mRCTs with no mortality difference. The positive finding of one sRCT (6%) on intensive glycemic control was contradicted by a subsequent mRCT showing a significant mortality increase. Of the 14 sRCTs referenced at least once in international guidelines, six (43%) have since been either removed or suggested against in the most recent versions of relevant guidelines. CONCLUSION Mortality reduction shown by sRCTs is typically not replicated by mRCTs. The findings of sRCTs should be considered hypothesis-generating and should not contribute to guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome is a genetic disorder of cardiac conduction that predisposes patients to spontaneous ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Although Brugada syndrome is one of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death, patients presenting with the syndrome often go misdiagnosed. This error has potentially fatal consequences for patients, who are at risk for sudden cardiac death without appropriate management. OBJECTIVE To increase the critical care professional's knowledge of Brugada syndrome through detailed description of the characteristic electrocardiographic findings, an algorithmic approach to electrocardiogram evaluation, and a case report of a patient with a previously missed diagnosis of Brugada syndrome. The essential concepts of epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, risk stratification, and management are reviewed for critical care professionals who may encounter patients with the syndrome. DIAGNOSIS Patients typically present with syncope or cardiac arrest and an abnormal electrocardiographic finding of ST-segment elevation in the precordial leads. The diagnosis of Brugada syndrome centers on identification of its electrocardiographic characteristics by critical care professionals who routinely evaluate electrocardiograms. Critical care professionals, especially nurses and advanced practice nurses, should be proficient in recognizing the electrocardiographic appearance of Brugada syndrome and initiating appropriate management. INTERVENTIONS Management strategies include prevention of sudden cardiac death through lifestyle modification and placement of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. Critical care professionals should be aware of commonly used medications that may exacerbate ventricular arrhythmia and place patients at risk for sudden cardiac death. CONCLUSION Increased awareness of Brugada syndrome among critical care professionals can decrease patient morbidity and mortality.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation retention training for hospital nurses by a self-learner skill station or the traditional instructor led course: A randomised controlled trial. Resusc Plus 2021; 7:100157.

Abstract
Introduction Intrahospital cardiac arrest has a steep mortality and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for favourable outcome. Instructor led (IL) CPR training is resource demanding and instructor free, feedback providing CPR skill stations (SS) could provide a means to enable the needed frequent retraining. The main objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that there was no difference between IL and SS training. Methods A total of 129 hospital nurses were randomised to CPR retraining in three groups; skill station with retraining at 2 months (SS-R), skill station without retraining (SS) and instructor led training (IL). Participants were tested at baseline, 2 and 8 months. The skill station groups were combined (c-SS) for analysis at baseline and 2 months when comparing to IL. Results Baseline characteristics for the three groups differed significantly, however c-SS and IL groups performed equally at baseline and testing at 2 months. At 8 months the SS group performed 71% correct ventilations compared to 54% in the IL group (p = 0.04), but CPR quality was otherwise equal. Longitudinal analysis showed SS-R performed 3.4 mm deeper compressions at final evaluation compared to baseline (p = 0.02) and 2.8 mm deeper compared to 2-month test (p = 0.02). No effects of retraining at 2 months could be detected at final comparison of SS-R and SS groups. Conclusion CPR training using a skill station led to equal performance at 2 and 8 months compared to instructor led training. Feedback-providing skill stations could be a feasible tool for required frequent retraining.

Abstract
Introduction: Despite the improvements in standardized cardiopulmonary resuscitation, survival remains low, mainly due to initial myocardial dysfunction and hemodynamic instability. Our goal was to compare the efficacy of two left ventricular assist devices on resuscitation and hemodynamic supply in a porcine model of ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest. Methods: Seventeen anaesthetized pigs had 12 min of untreated VF followed by 6 min of chest compression and boluses of epinephrine. Next, a first defibrillation was attempted and pigs were randomized to any of the three groups: control (n = 5), implantation of an percutaneous left ventricular assist device (Impella, n = 5) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO, n = 7). Hemodynamic and myocardial functions were evaluated invasively at baseline, at return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), after 10–30–60–120–240 min post-resuscitation. The primary endpoint was the rate of ROSC. Results: Only one of 5 pigs in the control group, 5 of 5 pigs in the Impella group, and 5 of 7 pigs in the ECMO group had ROSC (p < 0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction at 240 min post-resuscitation was 37.5 ± 6.2% in the ECMO group vs. 23 ± 3% in the Impella group (p = 0.06). No significant difference in hemodynamic parameters was observed between the two ventricular assist devices. Conclusion: Early mechanical circulatory support appeared to improve resuscitation rates in a shockable rhythm model of cardiac arrest. This approach appears promising and should be further evaluated.

Association between shockable rhythms and long-term outcome after pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Rotterdam, the Netherlands: An 18-year observational study. Resuscitation 2021; 166:110-120. [PMID: 34082030 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Shockable rhythm following pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (pOHCA) is consistently associated with hospital and short-term survival. Little is known about the relationship between shockable rhythm and long-term outcomes (>1 year) after pOHCA. The aim was to investigate the association between first documented rhythm and long-term outcomes in a pOHCA cohort over 18 years. METHODS All children aged 1 day-18 years who experienced non-traumatic pOHCA between 2002-2019 and were subsequently admitted to the emergency department (ED) or pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Erasmus MC-Sophia Children's Hospital were included. Data was abstracted retrospectively from patient files, (ground) ambulance and Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) records, and follow-up clinics. Long-term outcome was determined using a Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) score at the longest available follow-up interval through august 2020. The primary outcome measure was survival with favorable neurologic outcome, defined as PCPC 1-2 or no difference between pre- and post-arrest PCPC. The association between first documented rhythm and the primary outcome was calculated in a multivariable regression model. RESULTS 369 children were admitted, nine children were lost to follow-up. Median age at arrest was age 3.4 (IQR 0.8-9.9) years, 63% were male and 14% had a shockable rhythm (66% non-shockable, 20% unknown or return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before emergency medical service (EMS) arrival). In adolescents (aged 12-18 years), 39% had shockable rhythm. 142 (39%) of children survived to hospital discharge. On median follow-up interval of 25 months (IQR 5.1-49.6), 115/142 (81%) of hospital survivors had favorable neurologic outcome. In multivariable analysis, shockable rhythm was associated with survival with favorable long-term neurologic outcome (OR 8.9 [95%CI 3.1-25.9]). CONCLUSION In children with pOHCA admitted to ED or PICU shockable rhythm had significantly higher odds of survival with long-term favorable neurologic outcome compared to non-shockable rhythm. Survival to hospital discharge after pOHCA was 39% over the 18-year study period. Of survivors to discharge, 81% had favorable long-term (median 25 months, IQR 5.1-49.6) neurologic outcome. Efforts for improving outcome of pOHCA should focus on early recognition and treatment of shockable pOHCA at scene.

Cardiac Arrest Nurse Leadership (CANLEAD) trial: a simulation-based randomised controlled trial implementation of a new cardiac arrest role to facilitate cognitive offload for medical team leaders. Emerg Med J 2021; 38:572-578. [PMID: 33500268 DOI: 10.1136/emermed-2019-209298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2019] [Revised: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 12/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medical team leaders in cardiac arrest teams are routinely subjected to disproportionately high levels of cognitive burden. This simulation-based study explored whether the introduction of a dedicated 'nursing team leader' is an effective way of cognitively offloading medical team leaders of cardiac arrest teams. It was hypothesised that reduced cognitive load may allow medical team leaders to focus on high-level tasks resulting in improved team performance. METHODS This randomised controlled trial used a series of in situ simulations performed in two Australian emergency departments in 2018-2019. Teams balanced on experience were randomised to either control (traditional roles) or intervention (designated nursing team leader) groups. No crossover between groups occurred with each participant taking part in a single simulation. Debriefing data were collected for thematic analysis and quantitative evaluation of self-reported cognitive load and task efficiency was evaluated using the NASA Task Load Index (NTLX) and a 'task time checklist' which was developed for this trial. RESULTS Twenty adult cardiac arrest simulations (120 participants) were evaluated. Intervention group medical team leaders had significantly lower NTLX scores (238.4, 95% CI 192.0 to 284.7) than those in control groups (306.3, 95% CI 254.9 to 357.6; p=0.02). Intervention group medical team leaders working alongside a designated nursing leader role had significantly lower cognitive loads than their control group counterparts (206.4 vs 270.5, p=0.02). Teams with a designated nurse leader role had improved time to defibrillator application (23.5 s vs 59 s, p=0.004), faster correction of ineffective compressions (7.5 s vs 14 s, p=0.04), improved compression fraction (91.3 vs 89.9, p=0.048), and shorter time to address reversible causes (107.1 s vs 209.5 s, p=0.002). CONCLUSION Dedicated nursing team leadership in simulation based cardiac arrest teams resulted in cognitive offload for medical leaders and improved team performance.

Three types of evidence evaluation were used in this review: systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and evidence updates. Per agreement with the evidence evaluation recommendations of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, only systematic reviews could result in a new or revised treatment recommendation. Systematic reviews performed for this 2020 CoSTR for pediatric life support included the topics of sequencing of airway-breaths-compressions versus compressions-airway-breaths in the delivery of pediatric basic life support, the initial timing and dose intervals for epinephrine administration during resuscitation, and the targets for oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in pediatric patients after return of spontaneous circulation. The most controversial topics included the initial timing and dose intervals of epinephrine administration (new treatment recommendations were made) and the administration of fluid for infants and children with septic shock (this latter topic was evaluated by evidence update). All evidence reviews identified the paucity of pediatric data and the need for more research involving resuscitation of infants and children.

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
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
BACKGROUND Animal studies on cardiac arrest found that a combination of epinephrine with esmolol attenuates post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that esmololepinephrine combination therapy would be superior to a reported cardioprotective esmolol therapy alone in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were subjected to 60 min of myocardial ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion. Mice received either saline, esmolol (0.4 mg/kg/h), epinephrine (0.05 mg/kg/h), or esmolol combined with epinephrine (esmolol: 0.4 mg/kg/h or 0.8 mg/kg/h and epinephrine: 0.05 mg/kg/h) during reperfusion. After reperfusion, infarct sizes in the area-at-risk and serum cardiac troponin-I levels were determined. Hemodynamic effects of drugs infused were determined by measurements of heart rate (HR) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) via a carotid artery catheter. RESULTS Esmolol during reperfusion resulted in robust cardioprotection (esmolol vs. saline: 24.3±8% vs. 40.6±3% infarct size), which was abolished by epinephrine co-administration (38.1±15% infarct size). Increasing the esmolol dose, however, was able to restore esmolol-cardioprotection in the epinephrine-esmolol (18.6±8% infarct size) co-treatment group with improved hemodynamics compared to the esmolol group (epinephrine-esmolol vs. esmolol: MAP 80 vs. 75 mmHg, HR 452 vs. 402 beats/min). CONCLUSION These results confirm earlier studies on esmolol-cardioprotection from myocardial IR-injury and demonstrate that a dose optimized epinephrine-esmolol co-treatment maintains esmolol-cardioprotection with improved hemodynamics compared to esmolol treatment alone. These findings might have implications for current clinical practice in hemodynamically unstable patients suffering from myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly used to assess medical patients. It has many uses in daily clinical practice, including improved diagnostic timeliness and accuracy, and providing information about a patient's prognosis and follow-up. It has been integrated into numerous specialities, but remains relatively undefined in internal medicine training programs. Ultrasonography is a useful tool in the standard clinical practice of internists in numerous clinical scenarios (Emergency Department, hospital ward, general and specific consultations, and home care). Although POCUS has been recently included in the European curriculum of internal medicine, there are differences between European internists in its use, ranging from not at all to well structured educational programs. The use of POCUS needs to be widespread in internal medicine departments, and to accomplish this we must encourage structured training. This document details the consensus-based recommendations by the European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM) Ultrasound working group. We establish POCUS core competencies and clinical settings for internists in a symptom-based approach. We also propose training requirements, providing a framework for training programs at a national level.

Abstract
Background The amplitude spectrum area (AMSA), a frequency-domain ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform metric, can predict successful defibrillation and the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after defibrillation attempts. We aimed to investigate the validation of Spectral Energy for the quantitative analysis of the VF waveform to guide defibrillation in a porcine model of cardiac arrest and compare it with the AMSA metric. In addition, we sought to determine the effects of epinephrine and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on AMSA and Spectral Energy. Methods Sixty male domestic pigs weighing 35 to 45 kg were involved in this study. VF was initially untreated for 10 min followed by 6 min of CPR. Epinephrine was administered to the animals after 2 min of CPR. After the CPR, a single 120-J biphasic shock was applied to the animals. AMSA and Spectral Energy values were measured every minute from the electrocardiogram (ECG) to defibrillation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated for both the Spectral Energy and AMSA methods. Results Spectral Energy and AMSA values gradually decayed during untreated VF in all the animals. However, after the application of CPR and epinephrine, Spectral Energy and AMSA values were significantly increased in animals which were later successfully defibrillated, but did not increase in animals in which defibrillation was unsuccessful. The ROC curves showed that the Spectral Energy and AMSA methods possessed similar levels of sensitivity and specificity in predicting defibrillation success (P<0.001). Conclusions Both the Spectral Energy and AMSA methods accurately predict successful defibrillation. Moreover, increases in the value of either Spectral Energy or AMSA after application of CPR and epinephrine may also predict successful defibrillation.
