Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data to support epinephrine dosing intervals during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are conflicting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between epinephrine dosing intervals and outcomes. We hypothesized that dosing intervals less than 3 minutes would be associated with improved neurologic survival compared with greater than or equal to 3 minutes. DESIGN This study is a secondary analysis of The ICU-RESUScitation Project (NCT028374497), a multicenter trial of a quality improvement bundle of physiology-directed CPR training and post-cardiac arrest debriefing. SETTING Eighteen PICUs and pediatric cardiac ICUs in the United States. PATIENTS Subjects were 18 years young or younger and 37 weeks old or older corrected gestational age who had an index cardiac arrest. Patients who received less than two doses of epinephrine, received extracorporeal CPR, or had dosing intervals greater than 8 minutes were excluded. INTERVENTIONS The primary exposure was an epinephrine dosing interval of less than 3 vs. greater than or equal to 3 minutes. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was survival to discharge with a favorable neurologic outcome defined as a Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score of 1-2 or no change from baseline. Regression models evaluated the association between dosing intervals and: 1) survival outcomes and 2) CPR duration. Among 382 patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, median age was 0.9 years (interquartile range 0.3-7.6 yr) and 45% were female. After adjustment for confounders, dosing intervals less than 3 minutes were not associated with survival with favorable neurologic outcome (adjusted relative risk [aRR], 1.10; 95% CI, 0.84-1.46; p = 0.48) but were associated with improved sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (aRR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.07-1.37; p < 0.01) and shorter CPR duration (adjusted effect estimate, -9.5 min; 95% CI, -14.4 to -4.84 min; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In patients receiving at least two doses of epinephrine, dosing intervals less than 3 minutes were not associated with neurologic outcome but were associated with sustained ROSC and shorter CPR duration.

J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e030776. [PMID: 38156546 PMCID: PMC10863801 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.030776] [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: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epinephrine is administered to increase coronary perfusion pressure during advanced life support and promote short-term survival. Recent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommend an epinephrine dosing interval of 3 to 5 minutes during resuscitation; however, scientific evidence supporting this recommendation is lacking. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the hemodynamic effects of repeated epinephrine doses during CPR by monitoring augmented blood pressure after its administration in a swine model of cardiac arrest. METHODS AND RESULTS A secondary analysis of data from a published study was performed using a swine cardiac arrest model. The epinephrine dose was fixed at 1 mg, and the first dose of epinephrine was administered after no-flow and low-flow times of 2 minutes and 8 minutes, respectively, and subsequently administered every 4 minutes. Four cycles of dosing intervals were defined because a previous study was terminated 26 minutes after the induction of ventricular fibrillation. Augmented blood pressures and corresponding timelines were determined. Augmented blood pressure trends following cycles and the epinephrine effect duration were also monitored. Among the 140 CPR cycles, the augmented blood pressure after epinephrine administration was the highest during the first cycle of CPR and decreased gradually with further cycle repetitions. The epinephrine effect duration did not differ between repeated cycles. The maximum blood pressure was achieved 78 to 97 seconds after epinephrine administration. CONCLUSIONS Hemodynamic augmentation with repeated epinephrine administration during CPR decreased with cycle progression. Further studies are required to develop an epinephrine administration strategy to maintain its hemodynamic effects during prolonged resuscitation.

The physiologic response to epinephrine and pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation outcomes. Crit Care 2023; 27:105. [PMID: 36915182 PMCID: PMC10012560 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04399-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epinephrine is provided during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to increase systemic vascular resistance and generate higher diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to improve coronary perfusion and attain return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The DBP response to epinephrine during pediatric CPR and its association with outcomes have not been well described. Thus, the objective of this study was to measure the association between change in DBP after epinephrine administration during CPR and ROSC. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter study of children receiving ≥ 1 min of CPR with ≥ 1 dose of epinephrine and evaluable invasive arterial BP data in the 18 ICUs of the ICU-RESUS trial (NCT02837497). Blood pressure waveforms underwent compression-by-compression quantitative analysis. The mean DBP before first epinephrine dose was compared to mean DBP two minutes post-epinephrine. Patients with ≥ 5 mmHg increase in DBP were characterized as "responders." RESULTS Among 147 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 66 (45%) were characterized as responders and 81 (55%) were non-responders. The mean increase in DBP with epinephrine was 4.4 [- 1.9, 11.5] mmHg (responders: 13.6 [7.5, 29.3] mmHg versus non-responders: - 1.5 [- 5.0, 1.5] mmHg; p < 0.001). After controlling for a priori selected covariates, epinephrine response was associated with ROSC (aRR 1.60 [1.21, 2.12]; p = 0.001). Sensitivity analyses identified similar associations between DBP response thresholds of ≥ 10, 15, and 20 mmHg and ROSC; DBP responses of ≥ 10 and ≥ 15 mmHg were associated with higher aRR of survival to hospital discharge and survival with favorable neurologic outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score of 1-3 or no worsening from baseline). CONCLUSIONS The change in DBP following epinephrine administration during pediatric in-hospital CPR was associated with return of spontaneous circulation.

Epinephrine vs placebo in neonatal resuscitation: ROSC and brain MRS/MRI in term piglets. Pediatr Res 2023; 93:511-519. [PMID: 35681089 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-022-02126-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2021] [Revised: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the effect of epinephrine vs placebo on return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging (MRS/MRI) in newborn piglets with hypoxic cardiac arrest (CA). METHODS Twenty-five piglets underwent hypoxia induced by endotracheal tube clamping until CA. The animals were randomized to CPR + intravenous epinephrine or CPR + placebo (normal saline). The primary outcome was ROSC, and secondary outcomes included time-to-ROSC, brain MRS/MRI, and composite endpoint of death or severe brain MRS/MRI abnormality. RESULTS ROSC was more frequent in animals treated with epinephrine than placebo; 10/13 vs 4/12, RR = 2.31 (95% CI: 1.09-5.77). We found no difference in time-to-ROSC (120 (113-211) vs 153 (116-503) seconds, p = 0.7) or 6-h survival (7/13 vs 3/12, p = 0.2). Among survivors, there was no difference between groups in brain MRS/MRI. We found no difference in the composite endpoint of death or severe brain MRS/MRI abnormality; RR = 0.7 (95% CI: 0.37-1.19). CONCLUSIONS Resuscitation with epinephrine compared to placebo improved ROSC frequency after hypoxic CA in newborn piglets. We found no difference in time-to-ROSC or the composite endpoint of death or severe brain MRS/MRI abnormality. IMPACT In a newborn piglet model of hypoxic cardiac arrest, resuscitation with epinephrine compared to placebo improved the rate of return of spontaneous circulation and more than doubled the 6-h survival. Brain MRS/MRI biomarkers were used to evaluate the effect of epinephrine vs placebo. We found no difference between groups in the composite endpoint of death or severe brain MRS/MRI abnormality. This study adds to the limited evidence regarding the effect and safety of epinephrine; the lack of high-quality evidence from randomized clinical trials was highlighted in the latest ILCOR 2020 guidelines, and newborn animal studies were specifically requested.

Advanced and Invasive Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Techniques as an Adjunct to Advanced Cardiac Life Support. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11247315.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite numerous promising innovations, the chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest has remained virtually unchanged for decades. Recently, technological advances have been made, user-friendly portable devices have been developed, and advanced invasive procedures have been described that could improve this unsatisfactory situation. METHODS A selective literature search in the core databases with a focus on randomized controlled trials and guidelines. RESULTS Technical aids, such as feedback systems or automated mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) devices, can improve chest compression quality. The latter, as well as extracorporeal CPR, might serve as a bridge to treatment (with extracorporeal CPR even as a bridge to recovery). Sonography may be used to improve thoracic compressions on the one hand and to rule out potentially reversible causes of cardiac arrest on the other. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta might enhance myocardial and cerebral perfusion. Minithoracostomy, pericardiocentesis, or clamshell thoracotomy might resolve reversible causes of cardiac arrest. CONCLUSIONS It is crucial to identify those patients who may benefit from an advanced or invasive procedure and make the decision to implement the intervention in a timely manner. As with all infrequently performed procedures, sound education and regular training are paramount.

Post-resuscitation diastolic blood pressure is a prognostic factor for outcomes of cardiac arrest patients: a multicenter retrospective registry-based analysis. J Intensive Care 2022; 10:39. [PMID: 35933429 PMCID: PMC9356498 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-022-00631-6] [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: 01/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Post-resuscitation hemodynamic level is associated with outcomes. This study was conducted to investigate if post-resuscitation diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is a favorable prognostic factor. Methods Using TaIwan Network of Targeted Temperature ManagEment for CARDiac Arrest (TIMECARD) registry, we recruited adult patients who received targeted temperature management in nine medical centers between January 2014 and September 2019. After excluding patients with extracorporeal circulation support, 448 patients were analyzed. The first measured, single-point blood pressure after resuscitation was used for analysis. Study endpoints were survival to discharge and discharge with favorable neurologic outcomes (CPC 1–2). Multivariate analysis, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and generalized additive model (GAM) were used for analysis. Results Among the 448 patients, 182 (40.7%) patients survived, and 89 (19.9%) patients had CPC 1–2. In the multivariate analysis, DBP > 70 mmHg was an independent factor for survival (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.16, 95% confidence interval [CI, 1.41–3.31]) and > 80 mmHg was an independent factor for CPC 1–2 (aOR 2.04, 95% CI [1.14–3.66]). GAM confirmed that DBP > 80 mmHg was associated with a higher likelihood of CPC 1–2. In the exploratory analysis, patients with DBP > 80 mmHg had a significantly higher prevalence of cardiogenic cardiac arrest (p = 0.015) and initial shockable rhythm (p = 0.045). Conclusion We found that DBP after resuscitation can predict outcomes, as a higher DBP level correlated with cardiogenic cardiac arrest.

Abstract
AIM Cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) is not routinely measured during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We aimed to determine whether higher intra-arrest rSO2 was associated with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge. METHODS Prospective, single-center observational study of cerebral oximetry using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during pediatric cardiac arrest from 2016 to 2020. Eligible patients had ≥30 s of rSO2 data recorded during CPR. We compared median rSO2 and percentage of rSO2 measurements above a priori thresholds for the entire event and the final five minutes of the CPR event between patients with and without ROSC and survival to discharge. RESULTS Twenty-one patients with 23 CPR events were analyzed. ROSC was achieved in 17/23 (73.9%) events and five/21 (23.8%) patients survived to discharge. The median rSO2 was higher for events with ROSC vs. no ROSC for the overall event (62% [56%, 70%] vs. 45% [35%, 51%], p = 0.025) and for the final 5 minutes of the event (66% [55%, 72%] vs. 43% [35%, 44%], p = 0.01). Patients with ROSC had a higher percentage of measurements above 50% during the final five minutes of CPR (100% [100%, 100%] vs. 0% [0%, 29%], p = 0.01). There was no association between rSO2 and survival to discharge. CONCLUSIONS Higher cerebral rSO2 during CPR for pediatric cardiac arrest was associated with higher rates of ROSC but not with survival to discharge.

High dose of epinephrine does not improve survival of children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Results from the French National Cardiac Arrest Registry. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:978742. [PMID: 36275073 PMCID: PMC9583001 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.978742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The pediatric resuscitation guidelines recommend the use of 0. 01 mg kg-1 epinephrine during a cardiac arrest; an epinephrine dose higher than that is not recommended. The first aim of this study was to determine the administration rate of high epinephrine dose during pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The second aim was to compare the survival status in patients who received high or standard doses of epinephrine. METHODS This was a multicenter comparative post-hoc study conducted between January 2011 and July 2021 based on the French National Cardiac Arrest Registry data. All prepubescent (boys < 12 years old, girls < 10 years old) victims of an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were included. To compare survival status and control bias, patients who received a high epinephrine dose were matched with those who received a standard epinephrine dose using propensity score matching. RESULTS The analysis included 755 patients; 400 (53%) received a high dose and 355 (47%) received a standard dose of epinephrine. The median dose (mg kg-1) per bolus was higher in the high-dose group than that in the standard dose group (0.04 vs. 0.01 mg kg-1, P < 0.001). Before matching, there was no between-group difference in the 30-day survival rate or survival status at hospital discharge. Matching yielded 288 pairs; there was no between-group difference in the 30-day survival rate or survival at hospital discharge (High dose, n = 5; standard dose, n = 12; Odds ratios: 2.40, 95% confidence interval: 0.85-6.81). Only 2 patients in the standard dose group had a good neurological outcome. CONCLUSION More than 50% of the patients did not receive the recommended epinephrine dose during resuscitation. There was no association between patients receiving a high dose or standard dose of epinephrine with the 30-day survival or survival status at hospital discharge. Collaboration across multiple cardiac arrest registries is needed to study the application of pediatric guidelines.

Use of an end-tidal carbon dioxide-guided algorithm during cardiopulmonary resuscitation improves short-term survival in paediatric swine. Resusc Plus 2021; 8:100174. [PMID: 34820656 PMCID: PMC8600153 DOI: 10.1016/j.resplu.2021.100174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2021] [Revised: 08/28/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim To evaluate an algorithm that uses an end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) target of ≥ 30 torr to guide specific changes in chest compression rate and epinephrine administration during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in paediatric swine. Methods Swine underwent asphyxial cardiac arrest followed by resuscitation with either standard or ETCO2-guided algorithm CPR. The standard group received chest compressions at a rate of 100/min and epinephrine every 4 min during advanced life support consistent with the American Heart Association paediatric resuscitation guidelines. In the ETCO2-guided algorithm group, chest compression rate was increased by 10 compressions/min for every minute that the ETCO2 was < 30 torr, and the epinephrine administration interval was decreased to every 2 min if the ETCO2 remained < 30 torr. Short-term survival and physiologic data during active resuscitation were compared. Results Short-term survival was significantly greater in the ETCO2-guided algorithm CPR group than in the standard CPR group (16/28 [57.1%] versus 4/28 [14.3%]; p = 0.002). Additionally, the algorithm group had higher predicted mean ETCO2, chest compression rate, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, and myocardial perfusion pressure throughout resuscitation. Swine in the algorithm group also exhibited significantly greater improvement in diastolic and mean arterial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure after the first dose of epinephrine than did those in the standard group. Incidence of resuscitation-related injuries was similar in the two groups. Conclusions Use of a resuscitation algorithm with stepwise guidance for changes in the chest compression rate and epinephrine administration interval based on a goal ETCO2 level improved survival and intra-arrest hemodynamics in this porcine cardiac arrest model.

Abstract
Aim To describe the feasibility of prospective measurement of intra-arrest diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and goal-directed treatment of refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the emergency department (ED). Methods Retrospective case series performed at an urban, tertiary-care hospital from 12/1/2018 - 12/31/2019. We studied consecutive adults presenting with refractory, non-traumatic OHCA treated with haemodynamic-targeted resuscitation that entailed placement of a femoral arterial catheter, transduction of continuous BP during CPR, and administration of vasopressors (1 mg noradrenaline) and, if applicable, Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA), to achieve DBP ≥ 40 mmHg. Feasibility was measured by the success rate and time to achieve arterial catheterization and BP transduction. Additional outcomes included the change in DBP with vasopressor administration and occurrence of sustained ROSC. Results Goal-directed treatment was successfully performed in 8/9 (89%) patients. Arterial access required 1.5 (interquartile range (IQR) 1-2) attempts and BP transduction occurred within 10.5 ± 2.4 minutes of patient arrival. Noradrenaline slightly increased DBP (pre 21.6 ± 8.3 mmHg, post 26.1 ± 12.1 mmHg, p < 0.025), but only 4/23 (17%) doses resulted in DBP ≥ 40 mmHg. REBOA was attempted in 2/8 (25%) patients and placed successfully in both cases. Three (37.5%) patients achieved ROSC, but none survived to hospital discharge. Conclusions In ED patients with refractory OHCA, measurement of DBP during CPR and titration of resuscitation to a DBP goal is feasible. Future research incorporating this approach should seek to develop haemodynamic-targeted treatment strategies for OHCA patients that do not achieve ROSC with initial resuscitation.

Abstract
Background The effect of steroid use on outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest (CA) remains controversial. We systematically reviewed the literature to investigate whether steroid use after CA increased the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate and survival to discharge in patients with CA. Methods PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies on the effect of steroid use on outcomes in adults with CA. The outcomes were ROSC and survival to discharge. Results Seven studies (four RCTs and three observational studies) were included. Pooled analysis suggested that steroid use was associated with increased ROSC in patients with CA. Steroid use was significantly associated with survival to discharge, which was a consistent finding in RCTs and observational studies. Subgroup analysis based on the time of drug administration (during cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR] vs. after CA) showed that steroid use during CPR and after CA were significantly associated with an increased rate of ROSC and survival to discharge. Conclusion Current evidence indicates that steroid use after CA could increase ROSC and survival to discharge in patients with CA. However, high-quality and adequately powered RCTs are warranted.

Abstract
Aim Compare vasopressin to a second dose of epinephrine as rescue therapy after ineffective initial doses of epinephrine in diverse models of pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods 67 one- to three-month old female swine (10−30 kg) in six experimental cohorts from one laboratory received hemodynamic-directed CPR, a resuscitation method where high quality chest compressions are provided and vasopressor administration is titrated to coronary perfusion pressure (CoPP) ≥20 mmHg. Vasopressors are given when CoPP is <20 mmHg, in sequences of two doses of 0.02 mg/kg epinephrine separated by minimum one-minute, then a rescue dose of 0.4 U/kg vasopressin followed by minimum two-minutes. Invasive measurements were used to evaluate and compare the hemodynamic and neurologic effects of each vasopressor dose. Results Increases in CoPP and cerebral blood flow (CBF) were greater with vasopressin rescue than epinephrine rescue (CoPP: +8.16 [4.35, 12.06] mmHg vs. + 5.43 [1.56, 9.82] mmHg, p = 0.02; CBF: +14.58 [-0.05, 38.12] vs. + 0.00 [-0.77, 18.24] perfusion units (PFU), p = 0.005). Twenty animals (30%) failed to achieve CoPP ≥20 mmHg after two doses of epinephrine; 9/20 (45%) non-responders achieved CoPP ≥20 mmHg after vasopressin. Among all animals, the increase in CBF was greater with vasopressin (+14.58 [-0.58, 38.12] vs. 0.00 [-0.77, 18.24] PFU, p = 0.005). Conclusions CoPP and CBF rose significantly more after rescue vasopressin than after rescue epinephrine. Importantly, CBF increased after vasopressin rescue, but not after epinephrine rescue. In the 30% that failed to meet CoPP of 20 mmHg after two doses of epinephrine, 45% achieved target CoPP with a single rescue vasopressin dose.
