Abstract
Background After cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the protective effects of therapeutic hypothermia induced by conventional cooling are limited. Recently, esophageal cooling (EC) has been shown to be an effective, easily performed approach to induce therapeutic hypothermia. In this study we investigated the efficacy of EC and its effects on early markers of postresuscitation cardiac and neurological injury in a porcine model of cardiac arrest. Methods and Results Thirty‐two male domestic swine were randomized into 4 groups: sham control, normothermia, surface cooling, and EC. Sham animals underwent the surgical preparation only. Ventricular fibrillation was induced and untreated for 8 minutes while defibrillation was attempted after 5 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. At 5 minutes after resuscitation, therapeutic hypothermia was induced by either EC or surface cooling to reach a target temperature of 33°C until 24 hours postresuscitation, followed by a rewarming rate of 1°C/h for 5 hours. The temperature was normally maintained in the control and normothermia groups. After resuscitation, a significantly faster decrease in blood temperature was observed in the EC group than in the surface cooling group (2.8±0.7°C/h versus 1.5±0.4°C/h; P<0.05). During the maintenance and rewarming phases the temperature was maintained at an even level between the 2 groups. Postresuscitation cardiac and neurological damage was significantly improved in the 2 hypothermic groups compared with the normothermia group; however, the protective effects were significantly greater in the EC group. Conclusions In a porcine model of cardiac arrest, faster hypothermia successfully induced by EC was significantly better than conventional cooling in improving early markers of postresuscitation cardiac and neurological injury.

Effects of regional body temperature variation during asphyxial cardiac arrest on mortality and brain damage in a rat model. J Therm Biol 2019; 87:102466. [PMID: 31999601 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2019.102466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2019] [Revised: 11/18/2019] [Accepted: 11/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
To date, hypothermia has focused on improving rates of resuscitation to increase survival in patients sustaining cardiac arrest (CA). Towards this end, the role of body temperature in neuronal damage or death during CA needs to be determined. However, few studies have investigated the effect of regional temperature variation on survival rate and neurological outcomes. In this study, adult male rats (12 week-old) were used under the following four conditions: (i) whole-body normothermia (37 ± 0.5 °C) plus (+) no asphyxial CA, (ii) whole-body normothermia + CA, (iii) whole-body hypothermia (33 ± 0.5 °C)+CA, (iv) body hypothermia/brain normothermia + CA, and (v) brain hypothermia/body normothermia + CA. The survival rate after resuscitation was significantly elevated in groups exposed to whole-body hypothermia plus CA and body hypothermia/brain normothermia plus CA, but not in groups exposed to whole-body normothermia combined with CA and brain hypothermia/body normothermia plus CA. However, the group exposed to hypothermia/brain normothermia combined with CA exhibited higher neuroprotective effects against asphyxial CA injury, i.e. improved neurological deficit and neuronal death in the hippocampus compared with those involving whole-body normothermia combined with CA. In addition, neurological deficit and neuronal death in the group of rat exposed to brain hypothermia/body normothermia and CA were similar to those in the rats subjected to whole-body normothermia and CA. In brief, only brain hypothermia during CA was not associated with effective survival rate, neurological function or neuronal protection compared with those under body (but not brain) hypothermia during CA. Our present study suggests that regional temperature in patients during CA significantly affects the outcomes associated with survival rate and neurological recovery.

Effect of mild hypothermia on expression of inflammatory factors in surrounding tissue after minimally invasive hematoma evacuation in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Exp Ther Med 2018; 15:4906-4910. [PMID: 29805513 PMCID: PMC5952095 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2018.6014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2017] [Accepted: 02/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Mild hypothermia combined with minimally invasive hematoma evacuation was evaluated in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage to reduce inflammatory response of brain tissue around hematoma and ameliorate brain function, and to investigate its safety, effectiveness and feasibility. A total of 206 patients with acute spontaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were collected clinically and randomly divided into minimally invasive hematoma evacuation group (group A) and mild hypothermia combined with minimally invasive hematoma evacuation (group B). The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was used before and after treatment. Group A was treated with minimally invasive intracranial hematoma evacuation using intracranial hematoma grinding puncture needle while group B received whole body water circulation type cooling blanket plus local cerebral mild hypothermia therapy with ice cap on the basis of minimally invasive surgery. Patients brain tissue fragments around hematoma taken out with rinsing during operation and at postoperative 1, 3 and 7 days were investigated. The contents of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum at postoperative 1, 3 and 7 days were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). For the degree of nerve function defect of patients in the two groups, NIHSS score was lower in group B than that in group A at days 3 and 7, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The serum TNF-α content and expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in brain tissue around hematoma reached the peak on the 3rd day. The TNF-α content and NF-κB expression were lower in group B than those in group A at each time-point (P<0.05). Mild hypothermia combined with minimally invasive hematoma evacuation can reduce the damage of hematoma to the surrounding brain tissue, effectively alleviate inflammatory response and decrease brain tissue injury, thus ameliorating brain function.

Remote Postconditioning Alone and Combined with Hypothermia Improved Postresuscitation Cardiac and Neurological Outcomes in Swine. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:6743648. [PMID: 28097144 PMCID: PMC5206419 DOI: 10.1155/2016/6743648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2016] [Revised: 11/20/2016] [Accepted: 11/29/2016] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective. Previously, we demonstrated that remote ischemic postconditioning (RIpostC) improved postresuscitation myocardial and cerebral functions in rat. Here, we investigated the effects of RIpostC alone and combined with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on cardiac and neurological outcomes after CPR in swine. Methods. Twenty-one pigs were subjected to 10 mins of VF and then 5 mins of CPR. The animals were randomized to receive RIpostC alone, or its combination with TH, or sham control. RIpostC was induced by 4 cycles of limb ischemia followed by reperfusion. TH was implemented by surface cooling to reach a temperature of 32–34°C. Results. During 72 hrs after resuscitation, lower level of cardiac troponin I and greater stroke volume and global ejection fraction were observed in animals that received RIpostC when compared to the control. RIpostC also decreased serum levels of neuron-specific enolase and S100B and increased neurologic alertness score after resuscitation. The combination of RIpostC and TH resulted in greater improvement in cardiac and neurological outcomes than RIpostC alone. Conclusion. RIpostC was conducive to improving postresuscitation myocardial and cerebral functions and reducing their organ injuries. Its combination with TH further enhanced its protective effects.

Abstract
Objective. In this study, our aim was to investigate the effects of combined hypothermia with short duration maintenance on the resuscitation outcomes in a porcine model of ventricular fibrillation (VF). Methods. Fourteen porcine models were electrically induced with VF and untreated for 11 mins. All animals were successfully resuscitated manually and then randomized into two groups: combined mild hypothermia (CH group) and normothermia group (NT group). A combined hypothermia of ice cold saline infusion and surface cooling was implemented in the animals of the CH group and maintained for 4 hours. The survival outcomes and neurological function were evaluated every 24 hours until a maximum of 96 hours. Neuron apoptosis in hippocampus was analyzed. Results. There were no significant differences in baseline physiologies and primary resuscitation outcomes between both groups. Obvious improvements of cardiac output were observed in the CH group at 120, 180, and 240 mins following resuscitation. The animals demonstrated better survival at 96 hours in the CH group when compared to the NT group. In comparison with the NT group, favorable neurological functions were observed in the CH group. Conclusion. Short duration combined cooling initiated after resuscitation improves survival and neurological outcomes in a porcine model of prolonged VF.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mild hypothermia and minimally invasive evacuation of hematoma on the brain function of patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Seventy-six patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage were divided into the minimally invasive evacuation of hematoma (MIHE) and mild hypothermia and minimally invasive evacuation of hematoma (MHMIHE) groups. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores on the day of admission of the patient and one, three and seven days after the procedure were recorded. Perihematoma brain tissue morphology was observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) expression was determined by immunohistochemistry. The tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level was detected by ELISA. NIHSS scores in the MHMIHE group were significantly lower than those in the MIHE group on days three and seven. TNF-α and NF-κB levels peaked on day three, and the MHMIHE group had significantly lower levels of TNF-α and NF-κB than the MIHE group. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that mild hypothermia and minimally invasive evacuation of hematoma can effectively reduce inflammation and improve the brain function of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia has been recommended for the treatment of cardiac arrest patients who remain comatose after the return of spontaneous circulation. However, the optimal time to initiate therapeutic hypothermia remains unclear. The objective of the present study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of prehospital therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. METHODS Databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched from their establishment date to May of 2012 to retrieve randomized control trials on prehospital therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. Thereafter, the studies retrieved were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted and the quality of the included studies was evaluated. A meta-analysis was performed by using the Cochrane Collaboration Review Manager 5.1.6 software. RESULTS Five studies involving 633 cases were included, among which 314 cases were assigned to the treatment group and the other 319 cases to the control group. The meta-analysis indicated that prehospital therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest produced significant differences in temperature on hospital admission compared with in-hospital therapeutic hypothermia or normothermia (patient data; mean difference=-0.95; 95% confidence interval -1.15 to -0.75; I(2)=0%). However, no significant differences were observed in the survival to the hospital discharge, favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, and rearrest. The risk of bias was low; however, the quality of the evidence was very low. CONCLUSION This review demonstrates that prehospital therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest can decrease temperature on hospital admission. On the other hand, regarding the survival to hospital discharge, favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, and rearrest, our meta-analysis and review produces non-significant results. Using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology, we conclude that the quality of evidence is very low.

Abstract
Introduction Therapeutic hypothermia is largely used to protect the brain following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest (CA), but it is unclear whether we should start therapeutic hypothermia earlier, that is, before ROSC. Methods We performed a systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library and Ovid/Medline databases using "arrest" OR "cardiac arrest" OR "heart arrest" AND "hypothermia" OR "therapeutic hypothermia" OR "cooling" as keywords. Only studies using intra-arrest therapeutic hypothermia (IATH) were selected for this review. Three authors independently assessed the validity of included studies and extracted data regarding characteristics of the studied cohort (animal or human) and the main outcomes related to the use of IATH: Mortality, neurological status and cardiac function (particularly, rate of ROSC). Results A total of 23 animal studies (level of evidence (LOE) 5) and five human studies, including one randomized controlled trial (LOE 1), one retrospective and one prospective controlled study (LOE 3), and two prospective studies without a control group (LOE 4), were identified. IATH improved survival and neurological outcomes when compared to normothermia and/or hypothermia after ROSC. IATH was also associated with improved ROSC rates and with improved cardiac function, including better left ventricular function, and reduced myocardial infarct size, when compared to normothermia. Conclusions IATH improves survival and neurological outcome when compared to normothermia and/or conventional hypothermia in experimental models of CA. Clinical data on the efficacy of IATH remain limited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In animal models of cardiac arrest, the benefit afforded by hypothermia is closely linked to the rapidity of the decrease in body temperature after resuscitation. Because total liquid ventilation (TLV) with temperature-controlled perfluorocarbons induces a very rapid and generalized cooling, we aimed to determine whether this could limit the post-cardiac arrest syndrome in a rabbit model. We especially focused on neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, liver and kidney dysfunctions. METHODS AND RESULTS Anesthetized rabbits were submitted to either 5 or 10 minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation. After cardiopulmonary resuscitation and resumption of a spontaneous circulation, the animals underwent either normothermic life support (control) or therapeutic hypothermia induced by TLV. The latter procedure decreased esophageal and tympanic temperatures to 32°C to 33°C within only 10 minutes. After rewarming, the animals submitted to TLV exhibited an attenuated neurological dysfunction and decreased mortality 7 days later compared with control. The neuroprotective effect of TLV was confirmed by a significant reduction in brain histological damages. We also observed limitation of myocardial necrosis, along with a decrease in troponin I release and a reduced myocardial caspase 3 activity, with TLV. The beneficial effects of TLV were directly related to the rapidity of hypothermia induction because neither conventional cooling (cold saline infusion plus external cooling) nor normothermic TLV elicited a similar protection. CONCLUSIONS Ultrafast cooling instituted by TLV exerts potent neurological and cardiac protection in an experimental model of cardiac arrest in rabbits. This could be a relevant approach to provide a global and protective hypothermia against the post-cardiac arrest syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transnasal evaporative cooling has sufficient heat transfer capacity for effective intra-arrest cooling and improves survival in swine. The aim of this study was to determine the safety, feasibility, and cooling efficacy of prehospital transnasal cooling in humans and to explore its effects on neurologically intact survival to hospital discharge. METHODS AND RESULTS Witnessed cardiac arrest patients with a treatment interval <or=20 minutes were randomized to intra-arrest cooling with a RhinoChill device (treatment group, n=96) versus standard care (control group, n=104). The final analysis included 93 versus 101 patients, respectively. Both groups were cooled after hospital arrival. The patients had similar demographics, initial rhythms, rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and intervals to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and arrival of advanced life support personnel. Eighteen device-related adverse events (1 periorbital emphysema, 3 epistaxis, 1 perioral bleed, and 13 nasal discolorations) were reported. Time to target temperature of 34 degrees C was shorter in the treatment group for both tympanic (102 versus 282 minutes, P=0.03) and core (155 versus 284 minutes, P=0.13) temperature. There were no significant differences in rates of return of spontaneous circulation between the groups (38% in treated subjects versus 43% in control subjects, P=0.48), in overall survival of those admitted alive (44% versus 31%, respectively, P=0.26), or in neurologically intact survival to discharge (Pittsburgh cerebral performance category scale 1 to 2, 34% versus 21%, P=0.21), although the study was not adequately powered to detect changes in these outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Prehospital intra-arrest transnasal cooling is safe and feasible and is associated with a significant improvement in the time intervals required to cool patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We have previously demonstrated that nasopharyngeal cooling initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation improves the success of resuscitation. In this study, we compared the effects of nasopharyngeal cooling with cold saline infusion initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on resuscitation outcome in a porcine model of prolonged cardiac arrest. We hypothesized that nasopharyngeal cooling initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation would yield better resuscitation outcome when compared with cold saline infusion. DESIGN Randomized, prospective animal study. SETTING University-affiliated research laboratory. SUBJECTS Yorkshire-X domestic pigs (Sus scrofa). INTERVENTIONS Ventricular fibrillation was induced in 14 pigs weighing 38 +/- 2 kg. After 15 mins of untreated ventricular fibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed for 5 mins before defibrillation. Coincident with the start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, animals were randomly assigned to receive nasopharyngeal cooling with the aid of the RhinoChill Device (BeneChill, San Diego, CA) or cold saline infusion with 30 mL/kg 4 degrees C saline. One hour after restoration of spontaneous circulation, surface cooling was begun with the aid of a water blanket in both groups and maintained for 4 hrs. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Jugular vein temperature significantly decreased in animals subjected to nasopharyngeal cooling in comparison with those receiving cold saline infusion (p < .01). Core temperature, however, decreased only in animals receiving cold saline infusion (p < .01). Coronary perfusion pressure was significantly higher in the animals treated with nasopharyngeal cooling (p = .02). All seven animals treated with nasopharyngeal cooling were successfully resuscitated in contrast to only two animals resuscitated in the cold saline infusion group (p = .02). CONCLUSION In this model, nasopharyngeal cooling initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation improved the success of resuscitation compared to cooling with cold saline infusion.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia for 12 to 24 hrs following resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is now recommended by the American Heart Association for the treatment of neurological injury when the initial cardiac rhythm is ventricular fibrillation. However, the role of therapeutic hypothermia is uncertain when the initial cardiac rhythm is asystole or pulseless electrical activity, or when the cardiac arrest is primarily due to a noncardiac cause, such as asphyxia or drug overdose. Given that survival rate in these latter conditions is very low, it is unlikely that clinical trials will be undertaken to test the efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia in this setting because of the very large sample size that would be required to detect a significant difference in outcomes. Therefore, in patients with anoxic brain injury after nonventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest, clinicians will need to balance the possible benefit of therapeutic hypothermia with the possible side effects of this therapy. Given that the side effects of therapeutic hypothermia are generally easily managed in the critical care setting, and there is benefit for anoxic brain injury demonstrated in laboratory studies, consideration may be given to treat comatose post-cardiac arrest patients with therapeutic hypothermia in this setting. Because the induction of therapeutic hypothermia has become more feasible with the development of simple intravenous cooling techniques and specialized equipment for improved temperature control in the critical care unit, it is expected that therapeutic hypothermia will become more widely used in the management of anoxic neurological injury whatever the presenting cardiac rhythm.
