Comparison of prognosis between extracorporeal CPR and conventional CPR for patients in cardiac arrest: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Emerg Med 2024; 24:128. [PMID: 39068383 PMCID: PMC11282673 DOI: 10.1186/s12873-024-01058-y] [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: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM Compared to the conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR), potential benefits of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for patients with cardiac arrest (CA) are still controversial. We aimed to determine whether ECPR can improve the prognosis of CA patients compared with CCPR. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from database's inception to July 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or cohort studies that compared ECPR with CCPR in adults (aged ≥ 16 years) with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). This meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. Two researchers independently reviewed the relevance of the study, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the included literature. The primary outcome was short-term (from hospital discharge to one month after cardiac arrest) and long-term (≥ 90 days after cardiac arrest) survival with favorable neurological status (defined as cerebral performance category scores 1 or 2). Secondary outcomes included survival at 1 months, 3-6 months, and 1 year after cardiac arrest. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 3 RCTs and 14 cohort studies involving 167,728 patients. We found that ECPR can significantly improve good neurological prognosis (RR 1.82, 95%CI 1.42-2.34, I2 = 41%) and survival rate (RR 1.51, 95%CI 1.20-1.89, I2 = 62%). In addition, the results showed that ECPR had different effects on favorable neurological status in patients with OHCA (short-term: RR 1.50, 95%CI 0.98- 2.29, I2 = 55%; long-term: RR 1.95, 95% CI 1.06-3.59, I2 = 11%). However, ECPR had significantly better effects on neurological status than CCPR in patients with IHCA (short-term: RR 2.18, 95%CI 1.24- 3.81, I2 = 9%; long-term: RR 2.17, 95% CI 1.19-3.94, I2 = 0%). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis indicated that ECPR had significantly better effects on good neurological prognosis and survival rate than CCPR, especially in patients with IHCA. However, more high-quality studies are needed to explore the role of ECPR in patients with OHCA.

Does extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation improve survival with favorable neurological outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest? A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Crit Care 2024; 84:154882. [PMID: 39053234 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2024.154882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) may improve survival with favorable neurological outcome in patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Unfortunately, recent results from randomized controlled trials were inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis to investigate the impact of E-CPR on neurological outcome compared to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (C-CPR). METHODS A systematic research for articles assessing outcomes of adult patients with OHCA either treated with E-CPR or C-CPR up to April 27, 2023 was performed. Primary outcome was survival with favorable neurological outcome at discharge or 30 days. Overall survival was also assessed. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included. E-CPR was associated with better survival with favorable neurological status at discharge or 30 days (14% vs 7%, OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.61-3.43, I2 = 80%, p < 0.001, NNT = 17) than C-CPR. Results were consistent if the analysis was restricted to RCTs. Overall survival to discharge or 30 days was also positively affected by treatment with E-CPR (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.18-2.46, I2 = 81%, p = 0.004, NNT = 11). CONCLUSIONS In this meta-analysis, E-CPR had a positive effect on survival with favorable neurological outcome and, to a smaller extent, on overall mortality in patients with refractory OHCA.

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
Sudden cardiac arrest remains a relevant problem with a significant number of deaths worldwide. Although survival rates have more than tripled over the last 20 years (4% in 2001 vs. 14% in 2020), survival rates with good neurological outcomes remain persistently low, representing a major socioeconomic problem. Every minute of delay from patient collapse to start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by approximately 10-12%. Therefore, the time to treatment is a crucial factor in the prognosis of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Research teams working in the pre-hospital setting are therefore looking for ways to improve the transmission of information from the site of an emergency event and to make it easier for emergency medical dispatch centres (EMDC) to recognise life-threatening conditions with minimal deviation. For emergency unit procedures already at the scene of the event, methods are being sought to efficiently and temporarily replace a non-functioning cardiopulmonary system. In the case of traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA), the focus is mainly on effective affecting non-compressible haemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited evidence exists for prognostic performance of biomarkers in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with extracorporeal CPR (ECPR). We hypothesized that (1) the time course and (2) prognostic performance of biomarkers might differ between CPR and ECPR in a sub-analysis of Prague-OHCA study. METHODS Patients received either CPR (n = 164) or ECPR (n = 92). The primary outcome was favorable neurologic survival at 180 days [cerebral performance category (CPC) 1-2]. Secondary outcomes included biomarkers of neurologic injury, inflammation and hemocoagulation. RESULTS Favorable neurologic outcome was not different between groups: CPR 29.3% vs. ECPR 21.7%; p = 0.191. Biomarkers exhibited similar trajectories in both groups, with better values in patients with CPC 1-2. Procalcitonin (PCT) was higher in ECPR group at 24-72 h (all p < 0.01). Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), C-reactive protein and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio did not differ between groups. Platelets, D-dimers and fibrinogen were lower in ECPR vs. CPR groups at 24-72 h (all p < 0.001). ROC analysis (24-48-72 h) showed the best performance of NSE in both CPR and ECPR groups (AUC 0.89 vs. 0.78; 0.9 vs. 0.9; 0.91 vs. 0.9). PCT showed good performance specifically in ECPR (0.72 vs. 0.84; 0.73 vs. 0.87; 0.73 vs. 0.86). Optimal cutoff points of NSE and PCT were higher in ECPR vs. CPR. CONCLUSIONS Biomarkers exhibited similar trajectories although absolute values tended to be higher in ECPR. NSE had superior performance in both groups. PCT showed a good performance specifically in ECPR. Additional biomarkers may have modest incremental value. Prognostication algorithms should reflect the resuscitation method.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of an ambulance service-operated specialised cardiac vehicle with mobile extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation capacity for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Queensland, Australia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extracorporeal CPR (E-CPR) has been primarily limited to the in-hospital setting. A few systems around the world have implemented pre-hospital mobile E-CPR in the form of a dedicated cardiac vehicle fitted with specialised equipment and clinicians required for the performance of E-CPR on-scene. However, evidence of the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of mobile E-CPR remain to be established. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of a hypothetical mobile E-CPR vehicle operated by Queensland Ambulance Service in the state of Queensland, Australia. METHODS We adapted our published mathematical model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of pre-hospital mobile E-CPR relative to current practice. In the model, a specialised cardiac vehicle with mobile E-CPR capability is deployed to selected OHCA patients, with eligible candidates receiving pre-hospital E-CPR in-field and rapid transport to the closest appropriate centre for in-hospital E-CPR. For comparison, non-candidates receive standard ACLS from a conventional ambulance response. Cost-effectiveness was expressed as Australian dollars ($, 2021 value) per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. RESULTS Pre-hospital mobile E-CPR improves outcomes compared to current practice at a cost of $27 323 per QALY gained. The cost-effectiveness of pre-hospital mobile E-CPR is sensitive to the assumption around the number of patients who are the targets of the vehicle, with higher patient volume resulting in improved cost-effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS Pre-hospital E-CPR may be cost-effective. Successful implementation of a pre-hospital E-CPR programme requires substantial planning, training, logistics and operational adjustments.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is increasingly performed as an adjunct to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, the specific benefits of ECPR concerning survival with favorable neurological outcomes remain uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the potential advantages of ECPR in the management of refractory OHCA. We conducted a retrospective cohort study involved OHCA patients between January 2016 and May 2021. Patients were categorized into ECPR or CCPR groups. The primary endpoint assessed was survival with favorable neurological outcomes, and the secondary outcome was survival rate. Multivariate logistic regression analyses, with and without 1:2 propensity score matching, were employed to assess ECPR's effect. In total, 1193 patients were included: 85underwent ECPR, and 1108 received CCPR. Compared to the CCPR group, the ECPR group exhibited notably higher survival rate (29.4% vs. 2.4%; p < 0.001). The ECPR group also exhibited a higher proportion of survival with favorable neurological outcome than CCPR group (17.6% vs. 0.7%; p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that ECPR correlated with increased odds of survival with favorable neurological outcome (adjusted odds ratio: 13.57; 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.60-40.06). Following propensity score matching, the ECPR group showed significantly elevated odds of survival with favorable neurological outcomes (adjusted odds ratio: 13.31; 95% CI 1.61-109.9). This study demonstrated that in comparison to CCPR, ECPR may provide survival benefit and increase the odds of favorable neurological outcomes in selected OHCA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation with conventional advanced life support is known to have an exponential decline and therefore neurological outcome after 20 min in patients with a cardiac arrest is poor. Initiation of venoarterial ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) during resuscitation might improve outcomes if used in time and in a selected patient category. However, previous studies have failed to significantly reduce the time from cardiac arrest to ECMO flow to less than 60 min. We hypothesize that the initiation of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) by a Helicopter Emergency Medical Services System (HEMS) will reduce the low flow time and improve outcomes in refractory Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) patients. METHODS The ON-SCENE study will use a non-randomised stepped wedge design to implement ECPR in patients with witnessed OHCA between the ages of 18-50 years old, with an initial presentation of shockable rhythm or pulseless electrical activity with a high suspicion of pulmonary embolism, lasting more than 20, but less than 45 min. Patients will be treated by the ambulance crew and HEMS with prehospital ECPR capabilities and will be compared with treatment by ambulance crew and HEMS without prehospital ECPR capabilities. The primary outcome measure will be survival at hospital discharge. The secondary outcome measure will be good neurological outcome defined as a cerebral performance categories scale score of 1 or 2 at 6 and 12 months. DISCUSSION The ON-SCENE study focuses on initiating ECPR at the scene of OHCA using HEMS. The current in-hospital ECPR for OHCA obstacles encompassing low survival rates in refractory arrests, extended low-flow durations during transportation, and the critical time sensitivity of initiating ECPR, which could potentially be addressed through the implementation of the HEMS system. When successful, implementing on-scene ECPR could significantly enhance survival rates and minimize neurological impairment.

Etiology-Based Prognosis of Extracorporeal CPR Recipients After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study. Chest 2024; 165:858-869. [PMID: 37879561 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.10.022] [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: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A better understanding of the relative contributions of various factors to patient outcomes is essential for optimal patient selection for extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) therapy for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, evidence on the prognostic comparison based on the etiologies of cardiac arrest is limited. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the etiology-based prognosis of patients undergoing ECPR for OHCA? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective multicenter registry study involved 36 institutions in Japan and included all adult patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR between January 2013 and December 2018. The primary etiology for OHCA was determined retrospectively from all hospital-based data at each institution. We performed a multivariable logistic regression model to determine the association between etiology of cardiac arrest and two outcomes: favorable neurologic outcome and survival at hospital discharge. RESULTS We identified 1,781 eligible patients, of whom 1,405 (78.9%) had cardiac arrest because of cardiac causes. Multivariable logistic regression analysis for favorable neurologic outcome showed that accidental hypothermia (adjusted OR, 5.12; 95% CI, 2.98-8.80; P < .001) was associated with a significantly higher rate of favorable neurologic outcome than cardiac causes. Multivariable logistic regression analysis for survival showed that accidental hypothermia (adjusted OR, 5.19; 95% CI, 3.15-8.56; P < .001) had significantly higher rates of survival than cardiac causes. Acute aortic dissection/aneurysm (adjusted OR, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.02-0.28; P < .001) and primary cerebral disorders (adjusted OR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.03-0.50; P = .004) had significantly lower rates of survival than cardiac causes. INTERPRETATION In this retrospective multicenter cohort study, although most patients with OHCA underwent ECPR for cardiac causes, accidental hypothermia was associated with favorable neurologic outcome and survival; in contrast, acute aortic dissection/aneurysm and primary cerebral disorders were associated with nonsurvival compared with cardiac causes.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest is a leading contributor to morbidity and mortality in the United States. Survival has been historically dependent on high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and rapid defibrillation. However, a large percentage of patients remain in refractory cardiac arrest despite adherence to structured advanced cardiac life support algorithms in which these factors are emphasized. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is becoming an increasingly used rescue therapy for patients in refractory cardiac arrest to restore oxygen delivery by extracorporeal CPR (ECPR). Recently published clinical trials have provided new insights into ECPR for patients who sustain an outside hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In this narrative review, we summarize the rationale for, results of, and remaining questions from these recently published clinical trials. The existing observational data combined with the latest clinical trials suggest ECPR improves mortality in patients in refractory arrest. However, a mixed methods trial is essential to understand the complexity, context, and effectiveness of implementing an ECPR program.

Abstract
The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for temporary mechanical circulatory support in various clinical scenarios has been increasing consistently, despite the lack of sufficient evidence regarding its benefit and safety from adequately powered randomized controlled trials. Although the ARREST trial (Advanced Reperfusion Strategies for Patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation) and a secondary analysis of the PRAGUE OHCA trial (Prague Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest) provided some evidence in favor of VA-ECMO in the setting of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the INCEPTION trial (Early Initiation of Extracorporeal Life Support in Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest) has not found a relevant improvement of short-term mortality with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In addition, the results of the recently published ECLS-SHOCK trial (Extracorporeal Life Support in Cardiogenic Shock) and ECMO-CS trial (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in the Therapy of Cardiogenic Shock) discourage the routine use of VA-ECMO in patients with infarct-related cardiogenic shock. Ongoing clinical trials (ANCHOR [Assessment of ECMO in Acute Myocardial Infarction Cardiogenic Shock, NCT04184635], REVERSE [Impella CP With VA ECMO for Cardiogenic Shock, NCT03431467], UNLOAD ECMO [Left Ventricular Unloading to Improve Outcome in Cardiogenic Shock Patients on VA-ECMO, NCT05577195], PIONEER [Hemodynamic Support With ECMO and IABP in Elective Complex High-risk PCI, NCT04045873]) may clarify the usefulness of VA-ECMO in specific patient subpopulations and the efficacy of combined mechanical circulatory support strategies. Pending further data to refine patient selection and management recommendations for VA-ECMO, it remains uncertain whether the present usage of this device improves outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The widespread application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has enhanced clinical outcomes for patients experiencing cardiac arrest. However, its effectiveness is still limited and falls short of the desired level. Therapeutic hypothermia, which maintains body temperatures between 32°C and 36°C in cardiac arrest patients treated with ECMO, has been proposed as a potential means of neuroprotection and increased survival rates. Nevertheless, it remains controversial, and its impact on patient complications has yet to be fully understood. Thus, this paper aims to update the protocol for a systematic review of patients treated with ECMO and therapeutic hypothermia, in order to explore its effects on survival and neurological function. METHOD AND ANALYSIS This protocol has been developed in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols 2015. The following databases will be systematically searched: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid, CNKI, Wanfang and China Biology Medicine Disc. The database search strategy will use a combination of subject terms and free-text keywords. The search will encompass articles from the inception of each database up to 15 June 2023. Inclusion criteria encompass randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, case-control studies and quasi-experimental studies. Two researchers will independently review articles and extract relevant data based on these criteria. Any disagreements will be resolved through discussion. Data analysis will be performed using Review Manager software. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Since no patient data were collected in this study, ethical approval was not required. Research findings will be released in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42023435353.

Association between pupillary examinations and prognosis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a retrospective multicentre cohort study. Ann Intensive Care 2024; 14:35. [PMID: 38448746 PMCID: PMC10917711 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-024-01265-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In some cases of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), negative pupillary light reflex (PLR) and mydriasis upon hospital arrival serve as common early indicator of poor prognosis. However, in certain patients with poor prognoses inferred by pupil findings upon hospital arrival, pupillary findings improve before and after the establishment of ECPR. The association between these changes in pupillary findings and prognosis remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the association of pupillary examinations before and after the establishment of ECPR in patients with OHCA showing poor pupillary findings upon hospital arrival with their outcomes. To this end, we analysed retrospective multicentre registry data involving 36 institutions in Japan, including all adult patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR between January 2013 and December 2018. We selected patients with poor prognosis inferred by pupillary examinations, negative pupillary light reflex (PLR) and pupil mydriasis, upon hospital arrival. The primary outcome was favourable neurological outcome, defined as Cerebral Performance Category 1 or 2 at hospital discharge. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between favourable neurological outcome and pupillary examination after establishing ECPR. RESULTS Out of the 2,157 patients enrolled in the SAVE-J II study, 723 were analysed. Among the patients analysed, 74 (10.2%) demonstrated favourable neurological outcome at hospital discharge. Multivariable analysis revealed that a positive PLR at ICU admission (odds ration [OR] = 11.3, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 5.17-24.7) was significantly associated with favourable neurological outcome. However, normal pupil diameter at ICU admission (OR = 1.10, 95%CI = 0.52-2.32) was not significantly associated with favourable neurological outcome. CONCLUSION Among the patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR and showed poor pupillary examination findings upon hospital arrival, 10.2% had favourable neurological outcome at hospital discharge. A positive PLR after the establishment of ECPR was significantly associated with favourable neurological outcome.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of temporary cardiopulmonary bypass for patients with acute respiratory or cardiac failure refractory to conventional therapy. Its usage has become increasingly widespread and while reported survival after ECMO has increased in the past 25 years, the incidence of neurological injury has not declined, leading to the pressing question of how to improve time-to-detection and diagnosis of neurological injury. The neurological status of patients on ECMO is clinically difficult to evaluate due to multiple factors including illness, sedation, and pharmacological paralysis. Thus, increasing attention has been focused on developing tools and techniques to measure and monitor the brain of ECMO patients to identify dynamic risk factors and monitor patients' neurophysiological state as a function in time. Such tools may guide neuroprotective interventions and thus prevent or mitigate brain injury. Current means to continuously monitor and prevent neurological injury in ECMO patients are rather limited; most techniques provide indirect or postinsult recognition of irreversible brain injury. This review will explore the indications, advantages, and disadvantages of standard-of-care, emerging, and investigational technologies for neurological monitoring on ECMO, focusing on bedside techniques that provide continuous assessment of neurological health.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation versus conventional CPR in cardiac arrest: an updated meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis. Crit Care 2024; 28:57. [PMID: 38383506 PMCID: PMC10882798 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04830-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may reduce mortality and improve neurological outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest. We updated our existing meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis to further evaluate ECPR compared to conventional CPR (CCPR). METHODS We searched three international databases from 1 January 2000 through 1 November 2023, for randomised controlled trials or propensity score matched studies (PSMs) comparing ECPR to CCPR in both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). We conducted an updated random-effects meta-analysis, with the primary outcome being in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included short- and long-term favourable neurological outcome and survival (30 days-1 year). We also conducted a trial sequential analysis to evaluate the required information size in the meta-analysis to detect a clinically relevant reduction in mortality. RESULTS We included 13 studies with 14 pairwise comparisons (6336 ECPR and 7712 CCPR) in our updated meta-analysis. ECPR was associated with greater precision in reducing overall in-hospital mortality (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.50-0.79, high certainty), to which the trial sequential analysis was concordant. The addition of recent studies revealed a newly significant decrease in mortality in OHCA (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.45-0.84). Re-analysis of relevant secondary outcomes reaffirmed our initial findings of favourable short-term neurological outcomes and survival up to 30 days. Estimates for long-term neurological outcome and 90-day-1-year survival remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS We found that ECPR reduces in-hospital mortality, improves neurological outcome, and 30-day survival. We additionally found a newly significant benefit in OHCA, suggesting that ECPR may be considered in both IHCA and OHCA.

Target Temperature Management Effect on the Clinical Outcome of Patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Treated with Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Nationwide Observational Study. J Pers Med 2024; 14:185. [PMID: 38392618 PMCID: PMC10890305 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14020185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether targeted temperature management (TTM) could enhance outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for refractory cardiac arrest. Using a nationwide OHCA registry, adult patients with witnessed OHCA of presumed cardiac origin who underwent ECPR at the emergency department between 2008 and 2021 were included. We examined the effect of ECPR with TTM on survival and neurological outcomes at hospital discharge using propensity score matching and multivariable logistic regression compared with patients treated with ECPR without TTM. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were determined. A total of 399 ECPR cases were analyzed among 380,239 patients with OHCA. Of these, 330 underwent ECPR without TTM and 69 with TTM. After propensity score matching, 69 matched pairs of patients were included in the analysis. No significant differences in survival and good neurological outcomes between the two groups were observed. In the multivariable logistic regression, no significant differences were observed in survival and neurological outcomes between ECPR with and without TTM. Among the patients who underwent ECPR after OHCA, ECPR with TTM did not improve outcomes compared with ECPR without TTM.

Abstract
As an important public health issue, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) requires several stages of high quality medical care, both on-field and after hospital admission. Post-cardiac arrest shock can lead to severe neurological injury, resulting in poor recovery outcome and increased risk of death. These characteristics make this condition one of the most important issues to deal with in post-OHCA patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs). Also, the majority of initial post-resuscitation survivors have underlying coronary diseases making revascularization procedure another crucial step in early management of these patients. Besides keeping myocardial blood flow at a satisfactory level, other tissues must not be neglected as well, and maintaining mean arterial pressure within optimal range is also preferable. All these procedures can be simplified to a certain level along with using targeted temperature management methods in order to decrease metabolic demands in ICU-hospitalized post-OHCA patients. Additionally, withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy as a controversial ethical topic is under constant re-evaluation due to its possible influence on overall mortality rates in patients initially surviving OHCA. Focusing on all of these important points in process of managing ICU patients is an imperative towards better survival and complete recovery rates.

Risk factors for bleeding complications in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a secondary analysis of the SAVE-J II study. Ann Intensive Care 2024; 14:16. [PMID: 38280965 PMCID: PMC10821854 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-024-01253-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bleeding is the most common complication in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). No studies comprehensively described the incidence rate, timing of onset, risk factors, and treatment of bleeding complications in OHCA patients receiving ECPR in a multicenter setting with a large database. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of bleeding during the first day of admission and to comprehensively describe details of bleeding during hospitalization in patients with OHCA receiving ECPR in the SAVE-J II study database. METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of the SAVE-J II study, which is a multicenter retrospective registry study from 36 participating institutions in Japan in 2013-2018. Adult OHCA patients who received ECPR were included. The primary outcome was the risk factor of bleeding complications during the first day of admission. The secondary outcomes were the details of bleeding complications and clinical outcomes. RESULTS A total of 1,632 patients were included. Among these, 361 patients (22.1%) had bleeding complications during hospital stay, which most commonly occurred in cannulation sites (14.3%), followed by bleeding in the retroperitoneum (2.8%), gastrointestinal tract (2.2%), upper airway (1.2%), and mediastinum (1.1%). These bleeding complications developed within two days of admission, and 21.9% of patients required interventional radiology (IVR) or/and surgical interventions for hemostasis. The survival rate at discharge of the bleeding group was 27.4%, and the rate of favorable neurological outcome at discharge was 14.1%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the platelet count (< 10 × 104/μL vs > 10 × 104/μL) was significantly associated with bleeding complications during the first day of admission (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.865 [1.252-2.777], p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS In a large ECPR registry database in Japan, up to 22.1% of patients experienced bleeding complications requiring blood transfusion, IVR, or surgical intervention for hemostasis. The initial platelet count was a significant risk factor of early bleeding complications. It is necessary to lower the occurrence of bleeding complications from ECPR, and this study provided an additional standard value for future studies to improve its safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The impact of age on hospital survival for patients treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for cardiac arrest (CA) is unknown. We sought to characterize the association between older age and hospital survival after ECPR, using a large international database. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry. PATIENTS Patients 18 years old or older who underwent ECPR for CA between December 1, 2016, and October 31, 2020. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of death after ECPR, analyzed by age group (18-49, 50-64, 65-74, and > 75 yr). A total of 5,120 patients met inclusion criteria. The median age was 57 years (interquartile range, 46-66 yr). There was a significantly lower aOR of survival for those 65-74 (0.68l 95% CI, 0.57-0.81) or those greater than 75 (0.54; 95% CI, 0.41-0.69), compared with 18-49. Patients 50-64 had a significantly higher aOR of survival compared with those 65-74 and greater than 75; however, there was no difference in survival between the two youngest groups (aOR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.79-1.05). A sensitivity analysis using alternative age categories (18-64, 65-69, 70-74, and ≥ 75) demonstrated decreased odds of survival for age greater than or equal to 65 compared with patients younger than 65 (for age 65-69: odds ratio [OR], 0.71; 95% CI, 0.59-0.86; for age 70-74: OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.67-1.04; and for age ≥ 75: OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.50-0.81). CONCLUSIONS This investigation represents the largest analysis of the relationship of older age on ECPR outcomes. We found that the odds of hospital survival for patients with CA treated with ECPR diminishes with increasing age, with significantly decreased odds of survival after age 65, despite controlling for illness severity and comorbidities. However, findings from this observational data have significant limitations and further studies are needed to evaluate these findings prospectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is high. Though extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has been considered a potential treatment for refractory cardiac arrest after failure of conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR), the benefit of ECPR in refractory OHCA remains uncertain. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients with refractory OHCA who visited the Emergency Department of the Aerospace Center Hospital between January 2018 and April 2023. We divided the patients into the ECPR Group and the CCPR Group. The primary endpoint of the study was the neurological function of the patients in both groups 3 months after the cardiac arrest. We used propensity score matching to reduce selection bias and identified factors associated with good neurological function when OHCA was treated with ECPR by performing univariate and multivariate correlation analyses on surviving patients with good neurological function in the ECPR group. RESULTS During the study period, we enrolled 133 patients, consisting of 33 in the ECPR group and 100 in the CCPR group. The survival rate of patients with good neurological function at discharge was 18.2% (6/33 cases) in the ECPR group and 9% (9/100 cases) in the CCPR group, p = .20. Three months after discharge, the survival rate of patients with good neurological function was 15.2% (5/33 cases) in the ECPR group and 8% (8/100 cases) in the CCPR group, p = .31. Using propensity score matching, we identified 22 pairs of patients for further analysis. Among these, 3 months after discharge, the survival rate of patients with good neurological function was 13.6% (3/22 cases) in the ECPR group and 4.5% (1/22 cases) in the CCPR group, p = .61, and the survival rate at discharge was 18.2% (4/22 cases) in the ECPR group and 4.5% (1/22 cases) in the CCPR group, p = .34. The univariate analysis of patients with good neurological function in the ECPR group showed that time without perfusion, hypoperfusion time, and PCI treatment were associated factors affecting the prognosis of neurological function in patients, while multivariate analysis showed that hypoperfusion time was independently associated with good neurological function, with an OR (95% CI) of 1.06 (1.00-1.14) and p = .05. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that ECPR failed to significantly improve neurological outcome in patients with refractory OHCA; however, the small sample size in this study may be insufficient to detect clinically relevant differences. In addition, hypoperfusion time may be a key predictive factor in identifying candidates for ECPR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is an acute disease with a high fatality rate that burdens individuals, society, and the economy. This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model using routine laboratory parameters to predict the risk of IHCA in rescue-treated patients. METHODS This retrospective cohort study examined all rescue-treated patients hospitalized at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital in Beijing, China, from January 2016 to December 2020. Five machine learning algorithms, including support vector machine, random forest, extra trees classifier (ETC), decision tree, and logistic regression algorithms, were trained to develop models for predicting IHCA. We included blood counts, biochemical markers, and coagulation markers in the model development. We validated model performance using fivefold cross-validation and used the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) for model interpretation. RESULTS A total of 11,308 participants were included in the study, of which 7779 patients remained. Among these patients, 1796 (23.09%) cases of IHCA occurred. Among five machine learning models for predicting IHCA, the ETC algorithm exhibited better performance, with an AUC of 0.920, compared with the other four machine learning models in the fivefold cross-validation. The SHAP showed that the top ten factors accounting for cardiac arrest in rescue-treated patients are prothrombin activity, platelets, hemoglobin, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, neutrophils, prothrombin time, serum albumin, sodium, activated partial thromboplastin time, and potassium. CONCLUSIONS We developed a reliable machine learning-derived model that integrates readily available laboratory parameters to predict IHCA in patients treated with rescue therapy.

Abstract
Aim This study aimed to describe the frequency, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of pneumonia in OHCA patients treated with ECPR in a multicenter setting. Methods This is a secondary analysis of the SAVE-J II study, which was a multicenter, retrospective cohort of OHCA patients treated with ECPR. Age, sex, comorbidities, presence of witnessed CA, presence of bystander CPR, initial rhythm, cause of CA, low-flow time, initiation of targeted temperature management, details of sputum culture, pneumonia, and prophylactic antibiotic use were recorded. Pneumonia was diagnosed when the patients met all the clinical, radiologic, and microbiologic criteria acquired after hospitalization. Results In total, 1,986 patients were included in the analysis, and 947 (48%) died during the first 2 days of admission. A prophylactic antibiotic was used in 712 (35.9%) patients. Overall, the hazard of death was high on days 1 and 2 of admission, exceeding 20% on both days; 251 (12.6%) patients developed pneumonia during hospitalization, and the hazard of pneumonia development remained high (>2%) in the first 7 days of admission.Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella species were commonly identified in the sputum culture. Among patients who survived the first 7 days, the odds ratio (OR) of those with pneumonia and unfavorable neurological outcomes defined by cerebral performance category 3-5 was approximately 1. In those who survived the first 10 days, the OR was greater than 1 with a wide confidence interval. Conclusions This is the first study describing details of pneumonia in OHCA patients treated with ECPR using a large dataset.

[PMID: 37863420 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2023.110004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), has demonstrated promise in the management of refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, evidence from observational studies and clinical trials are conflicting and the factors influencing outcome have not been well established. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis summarizing the association between pre-ECPR prognostic factors and likelihood of good functional outcome among adult patients requiring ECPR for OHCA. We searched Medline and Embase databases from inception to February 28, 2023 and screened studies with two independent reviewers. We performed meta-analyses of unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios, adjusted hazard ratios and mean differences separately. We assessed risk of bias using the QUIPS tool and certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach. FINDINGS We included 29 observational and randomized studies involving 7,397 patients. Factors with moderate or high certainty of association with increased survival with favourable functional outcome include pre-arrest patient factors, such as younger age (odds ratio (OR) 2.13, 95% CI 1.52 to 2.99) and female sex (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.70), as well as intra-arrest factors, such as shockable rhythm (OR 2.79, 95% CI 2.04 to 3.80), witnessed arrest (OR 1.68 (95% CI 1.16 to 2.42), bystander CPR (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.19 to 2.01), return of spontaneous circulation (OR 2.81, 95% CI 2.19 to 3.61) and shorter time to cannulation (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.69 per 10 minutes). INTERPRETATION The findings of this review confirm several clinical concepts wellestablished in the cardiac arrest literature and their applicability to the patient for whom ECPR is considered - that is, the impact of pre-existing patient factors, the benefit of timely and effective CPR, as well as the prognostic importance of minimizing low-flow time. We advocate for the thoughtful consideration of these prognostic factors as part of a risk stratification framework when evaluating a patient's potential candidacy for ECPR.

A systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0289054.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is commonly initiated for adults experiencing cardiac arrest within the cardiac catheterization lab or the intensive care unit. However, the potential benefit of ECPR for these patients in the emergency department (ED) remains undocumented. This study aims to assess the benefit of ECPR initiated in the ED for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing ECPR initiated in the ED versus conventional CPR. Relevant articles were identified by searching several databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane collaborations up to July 31, 2022. Pooled estimates were calculated using the inverse variance heterogeneity method, while heterogeneity was evaluated using Q and I2 statistics. The risk of bias in included studies was evaluated using validated bias assessment tools. The primary outcome was a favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, and the secondary outcome was survival to hospital discharge or 30-day survival. Sensitivity analyses were performed to explore the benefits of ED-initiated ECPR in studies utilizing propensity score (PPS) analysis. Publication bias was assessed using Doi plots and the Luis Furuya-Kanamori (LFK) index. RESULTS The meta-analysis included a total of eight studies comprising 51,173 patients. ED-initiated ECPR may not be associated with a significant increase in favorable neurological outcomes (odds ratio [OR] 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.30-6.70, I2 = 96%). However, this intervention may be linked to improved survival to hospital discharge (OR 3.34, 95% CI 2.23-5.01, I2 = 17%). Notably, when analyzing only PPS data, ED-initiated ECPR demonstrated efficacy for both favorable neurological outcomes (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.26-2.83, I2 = 21%) and survival to hospital discharge (OR 3.37, 95% CI 1.52-7.49, I2 = 57%). Publication bias was detected for primary (LFK index 2.50) and secondary (LFK index 2.14) outcomes. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that ED-initiated ECPR may not offer significant benefits in terms of favorable neurological outcomes for OHCA patients. However, it may be associated with increased survival to hospital discharge. Future studies should prioritize randomized trials with larger sample sizes and strive for homogeneity in patient populations to obtain more robust evidence in this area.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation versus conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults with cardiac arrest: a comparative meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis. THE LANCET. RESPIRATORY MEDICINE 2023; 11:883-893. [PMID: 37230097 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-2600(23)00137-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although outcomes of patients after cardiac arrest remain poor, studies have suggested that extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) might improve survival and neurological outcomes. We aimed to investigate any potential benefits of using ECPR over conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, and Scopus from Jan 1, 2000, to April 1, 2023, for randomised controlled trials and propensity-score matched studies. We included studies comparing ECPR with CCPR in adults (aged ≥18 years) with OHCA and IHCA. We extracted data from published reports using a prespecified data extraction form. We did random-effects (Mantel-Haenszel) meta-analyses and rated the certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessments, Developments, and Evaluations (GRADE) approach. We rated the risk of bias of randomised controlled trials using the Cochrane risk-of-bias 2.0 tool, and that of observational studies using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included complications during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, short-term (from hospital discharge to 30 days after cardiac arrest) and long-term (≥90 days after cardiac arrest) survival with favourable neurological outcomes (defined as cerebral performance category scores 1 or 2), and survival at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after cardiac arrest. We also did trial sequential analyses to evaluate the required information sizes in the meta-analyses to detect clinically relevant reductions in mortality. FINDINGS We included 11 studies (4595 patients receiving ECPR and 4597 patients receiving CCPR) in the meta-analysis. ECPR was associated with a significant reduction in overall in-hospital mortality (OR 0·67, 95% CI 0·51-0·87; p=0·0034; high certainty), without evidence of publication bias (pegger=0·19); the trial sequential analysis was concordant with the meta-analysis. When considering IHCA only, in-hospital mortality was lower in patients receiving ECPR than in those receiving CCPR (0·42, 0·25-0·70; p=0·0009), whereas when considering OHCA only, no differences were found (0·76, 0·54-1·07; p=0·12). Centre volume (ie, the number of ECPR runs done per year in each centre) was associated with reductions in odds of mortality (regression coefficient per doubling of centre volume -0·17, 95% CI -0·32 to -0·017; p=0·030). ECPR was also associated with an increased rate of short-term (OR 1·65, 95% CI 1·02-2·68; p=0·042; moderate certainty) and long-term (2·04, 1·41-2·94; p=0·0001; high certainty) survival with favourable neurological outcomes. Additionally, patients receiving ECPR had increased survival at 30-day (OR 1·45, 95% CI 1·08-1·96; p=0·015), 3-month (3·98, 1·12-14·16; p=0·033), 6-month (1·87, 1·36-2·57; p=0·0001), and 1-year (1·72, 1·52-1·95; p<0·0001) follow-ups. INTERPRETATION Compared with CCPR, ECPR reduced in-hospital mortality and improved long-term neurological outcomes and post-arrest survival, particularly in patients with IHCA. These findings suggest that ECPR could be considered for eligible patients with IHCA, although further research into patients with OHCA is warranted. FUNDING None.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is associated with improved outcomes in select populations, however, crisis resource management (CRM) in this setting is logistically challenging. This study evaluates the impact of ECPR simulation on self-perceived confidence and collaboration of intensive care unit team members. METHODS This is a prospective observational study analyzing data obtained between July 2018-December 2019. This study focused on non-surgical members of critical care team consisting of pediatric intensivists, resident physicians, registered nurses, respiratory therapists. Participants were expected to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during the ECPR event, participate in code-team responsibilities and provide ancillary support during cannulation. Pre- and post-simulation surveys employed the Likert scale (1 = not at all confident, 5 = highly confident) to assess self-perceived scores in specified clinical competencies. RESULTS Twenty-nine providers participated in the simulation; 38% had prior ECPR experience. Compared to mean pre-study Likert scores (2.4, 2.4, 2.5), post-simulation scores increased (4.2, 4.4, 4.3) when self-evaluating: confidence in assessing patients needing ECPR, confidence in participating in ECPR workflow and confidence in performing high-quality CPR, respectively. Post-simulation values of >3 were reported by 100% of participants in all domains (p < .0001). All participants indicated the clinical scenario and procedural environment to be realistic and appropriately reflective of situational stress. Additionally, 100% of participants reported the simulation to improve perceived team communication and teamwork skills. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated preliminary feasibility of pediatric ECPR simulation in enhancing independent provider confidence and team communication. This self-perceived improvement may establish a foundation for cohesive CRM, in preparation for a real life ECPR encounter.

The impact of levosimendan on survival and weaning from ECMO after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Artif Organs 2023; 47:1351-1360. [PMID: 37032531 DOI: 10.1111/aor.14540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is increasingly used due to its beneficial outcomes and results compared to conventional CPR. After cardiac arrest, the overall ejection fraction is severely impaired; thus, weaning from ECMO is often prolonged or impossible. We hypothesized that early application of levosimendan in these patients facilitates ECMO weaning and survival. METHODS From 2016 until 2020, patients who underwent eCPR after cardiac arrest at our institution were analyzed retrospectively and divided into two groups: patients who received levosimendan during ICU stay (n = 24) and those who did not receive levosimendan (n = 84) and analyzed for outcome parameters. Furthermore, we used propensity-score matching and multinomial regression analysis to show the effect of levosimendan on outcome parameters. RESULTS Overall, in-hospital mortality was significantly lower in the group which received levosimendan (28% vs. 88%, p ≤ 0.01), and ECMO weaning was more feasible in patients who received levosimendan (88% vs. 20%, p ≤ 0.01). CPR duration until ECMO cannulation was significantly shorter in the levosimendan group (44 + 26 vs. 65 + 28, p = 0.002); interestingly, the rate of mechanical chest compressions before ECMO cannulation was lower in the levosimendan group (50% vs. 69%, p = 0.005). CONCLUSION In patients after cardiac arrest treated with eCPR, levosimendan seems to contribute to higher success rates of ECMO weaning, potentially due to a short to mid-term increase in inotropy. Also, the survival after levosimendan application was higher than patients who did not receive levosimendan.

Am J Emerg Med 2023; 70:163-170. [PMID: 37327682 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2023.05.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND VA-ECMO can greatly reduce mortality in critically ill patients, and hypothermia attenuates the deleterious effects of ischemia-reperfusion injury. We aimed to study the effects of hypothermia on mortality and neurological outcomes in VA-ECMO patients. METHODS A systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases was performed from the earliest available date to 31 December 2022. The primary outcome was discharge or 28-day mortality and favorable neurological outcomes in VA-ECMO patients, and the secondary outcome was bleeding risk in VA-ECMO patients. The results are presented as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Based on the heterogeneity assessed by the I2 statistic, meta-analyses were performed using random or fixed-effects models. GRADE methodology was used to rate the certainty in the findings. RESULTS A total of 27 articles (3782 patients) were included. Hypothermia (33-35 °C) lasting at least 24 h can significantly reduce discharge or 28-day mortality (OR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.33-0.63; I2 = 41%) and significantly improve favorable neurological outcomes (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.66-2.61; I2 = 3%) in VA-ECMO patients. Additionally, there was no risk associated with bleeding (OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.86-1.53; I2 = 12%). In our subgroup analysis according to in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, hypothermia reduced short-term mortality in both VA-ECMO-assisted in-hospital (OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.11-0.86; I2 = 0.0%) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.25-0.69; I2 = 52.3%). Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients assisted by VA-ECMO for favorable neurological outcomes were consistent with the conclusions of this paper (OR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.63-2.72; I2 = 0.5%). CONCLUSIONS Our results show that mild hypothermia (33-35 °C) lasting at least 24 h can greatly reduce short-term mortality and significantly improve favorable short-term neurologic outcomes in VA-ECMO-assisted patients without bleeding-related risks. As the grade assessment indicated that the certainty of the evidence was relatively low, hypothermia as a strategy for VA-ECMO-assisted patient care may need to be treated with caution.

[PMID: 37264936 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.122.063651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) is associated with relatively poor survival. The ability to predict refractory VF (requiring ≥3 shocks) in advance of repeated shock failure could enable preemptive targeted interventions aimed at improving outcome, such as earlier administration of antiarrhythmics, reconsideration of epinephrine use or dosage, changes in shock delivery strategy, or expedited invasive treatments. METHODS We conducted a cohort study of VF out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to develop an ECG-based algorithm to predict patients with refractory VF. Patients with available defibrillator recordings were randomized 80%/20% into training/test groups. A random forest classifier applied to 3-s ECG segments immediately before and 1 minute after the initial shock during cardiopulmonary resuscitation was used to predict the need for ≥3 shocks based on singular value decompositions of ECG wavelet transforms. Performance was quantified by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Of 1376 patients with VF out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, 311 (23%) were female, 864 (63%) experienced refractory VF, and 591 (43%) achieved functional neurological survival. Total shock count was associated with decreasing likelihood of functional neurological survival, with a relative risk of 0.95 (95% CI, 0.93-0.97) for each successive shock (P<0.001). In the 275 test patients, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting refractory VF was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.79-0.89), with specificity of 91%, sensitivity of 63%, and a positive likelihood ratio of 6.7. CONCLUSIONS A machine learning algorithm using ECGs surrounding the initial shock predicts patients likely to experience refractory VF, and could enable rescuers to preemptively target interventions to potentially improve resuscitation outcome.

Long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients older than 75 years: a single-centre retrospective study. Emerg Med J 2023; 40:264-270. [PMID: 36759171 DOI: 10.1136/emermed-2021-212138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have assessed older adult patients who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) after cardiac arrest, and outcomes and prognostic factors of ECPR in this population remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors among patients older than 75 years who received ECPR after experiencing cardiac arrest. METHODS This is a single-centre, retrospective case-control study conducted between August 2010 and July 2019. Consecutive patients older than 75 years who had in-hospital (IHCA) or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and received ECPR at the Emergency Department in the Hyogo Emergency Medical Center, Hyogo, Japan, were included. The primary outcome was a favourable neurological outcome, defined as a Cerebral Performance Category score of 1-2 at 1 year after the event. Univariate logistic regression was used to determine the association between variables and patient outcomes. RESULTS Of the 187 patients with cardiac arrest who received ECPR, 30 were older than 75 years and 28 (15% of the cohort receiving ECPR) were examined in this study. The median age of the patients was 79 years (IQR 77-82), and there were 13 (46%) male patients. Neurological outcomes were favourable for seven (25%) patients, five of whom had IHCA and two with out-of-hospital OHCA. On univariate analysis, patients with a favourable outcome had a shorter median total collapse time (TCT) than those with an unfavourable outcome (favourable: 18.0 min (IQR 13.0-33.5) vs unfavourable: 44.0 min (IQR 25.0-53.0); p=0.049). CONCLUSION In selected patients older than 75 years, ECPR could be beneficial by providing a shorter TCT, which may contribute to favourable neurological outcomes. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is becoming increasingly utilized to support critically ill patients who experience life-threatening cardiac or pulmonary compromise. The provision of this intervention poses challenges related to its complications and the optimization of medication therapy. ECMO's mechanical circulatory support is facilitated via various devices and equipment that have been shown to sequester lipophilic- and protein-bound medications, including anti-infectives. Since infectious outcomes are dependent on achieving specific anti-infectives' pharmacodynamic targets, the understanding of these medications' pharmacokinetic parameters in the setting of ECMO is important to clinicians. This narrative, non-systematic review evaluated the findings of the most recent and robust pharmacokinetic analyses for commonly utilized anti-infectives in the setting of ECMO. The data from available literature indicates that anti-infective pharmacokinetic parameters are similar to those observed in other non-ECMO critically ill populations, but considerable variability in the findings was observed between patients, thus prompting further evaluation of therapeutic drug monitoring in this complex population.

Abstract
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices provide temporary or intermediate- to long-term support for acute cardiopulmonary support. In the last 20 to 30 years, tremendous growth in MCS device usage has been seen. These devices offer support for isolated respiratory failure, isolated cardiac failure, or both. Initiation of MCS devices requires the input from multidisciplinary teams using patient factors and institutional resources to guide decision making, along with a planned "exit strategy" for bridge to decision, bridge to transplant, bridge to recovery, or as destination therapy. Important considerations for MCS use include patient selection, cannulation/insertion strategies, and complications of each device.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is increasingly used due to its beneficial outcomes and results compared with conventional CPR. Data after eCPR for acute kidney injury (AKI) are lacking. We sought to investigate factors predicting AKI in patients who underwent eCPR. METHODS From January 2016 until December 2020, patients who underwent eCPR at our institution were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: patients who developed AKI (n = 60) and patients who did not develop AKI (n = 35) and analyzed for outcome parameters. RESULTS Overall, 63% of patients suffered AKI after eCPR and 45% of patients who developed AKI needed subsequent dialysis. Patients who developed AKI showed higher values of creatinine (1.1 mg/dL vs 1.5 mg/dL, p ⩽ 0.01), urea (34 mg/dL vs 42 mg/dL, p = 0.04), CK (creatine kinase) (923 U/L vs 1707 U/L, p = 0.07) on admission, and CK after 24 hours of ECMO support (1705 U/L vs 4430 U/L, p = 0.01). ECMO explantation was significantly more often performed in patients who suffered AKI (24% vs 48%, p = 0.01). In-hospital mortality (86% vs 70%; p = 0.07) did not differ significantly. CONCLUSION Patients after eCPR are at high risk for AKI, comparable to those after conventional CPR. Baseline urea levels predict the development of AKI during the hospital stay.

Abstract
The duration of low flow prior to initiation of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) appears to influence survival. Strategies to reduce the low-flow interval for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have been focused on expediting patient transport to the hospital or initiating extracorporeal support in the prehospital setting. To date, a direct comparison of low-flow interval between these strategies has not been made. To attempt this comparison, a model was created to predict low-flow intervals for each strategy at different locations across the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The data, specific to Albuquerque, suggest that a prehospital cannulation strategy consistently outperforms an expedited transport strategy, with an estimated difference in low-flow interval of 34.3 to 37.2 minutes, depending on location. There is no location within the city in which an expedited transport strategy results in a shorter low-flow interval than prehospital cannulation. It would be rare to successfully initiate eCPR by either strategy in fewer than 30 minutes from the time of patient collapse. Using a prehospital cannulation strategy, the entire coverage area could be eligible for eCPR within 60 minutes of patient collapse. The use of predictive modeling can be a low-cost solution to assist with strategic deployment of prehospital resources and may have potential for real-time decision support for prehospital clinicians.

Abstract
This study compared the effects of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) using propensity-score matching (PSM) analyses. A nationwide registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in Korea between 2013 and 2016 was used. Patients with OHCA aged ≥15 years with cardiac etiology and resuscitation time >30 minutes were enrolled. Resuscitation-related variables before the initiation of ECPR were included. Two PSM analyses were performed separately, with and without post-ECPR variables. The primary outcome (PO) was a favorable neurologic outcome at hospital discharge. The rate of PO was 8.1% (13/161) in the ECPR group and 1.5% (247/16,489) in the conventional CPR (CCPR) group. In the matched cohort with post-ECPR variables, there was no significant difference in the rate of PO between the ECPR and CCPR groups (7.9% vs. 7.9%; p = 0.982). In the matched cohort without post-ECPR variables, the rate of PO was higher in the ECPR group than that in the CCPR group (8.3% vs. 3.6%; p = 0.012). PSM analysis without post-ECPR variables compared outcomes of all patients experiencing OHCA and treated with ECPR versus CCPR, which showed better neurologic outcomes for ECPR. PSM analysis with post-ECPR variables compared outcomes between ECPR survivors and CCPR survivors, which exhibited similar neurologic outcomes.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to describe the characteristics of cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with an initial asystole rhythm in which extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) was introduced and discuss the clinical indications for ECPR in such patients. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of the SAVE-J II study, a retrospective, multicentre, registry study involving 36 participating institutions in Japan. Patients with an initial asystole rhythm were selected. Favourable neurological outcomes (cerebral performance categories 1-2) constituted the primary outcome. RESULTS In total, 202 patients met the inclusion criteria, with favourable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge in 12 patients (5.9%). Causes of cardiac arrest with favourable neurological outcomes were hypothermia (7 cases), acute coronary syndrome (2 cases), arrhythmia (2 cases), and pulmonary embolism (1 case). Among patients with non-hypothermia (temperature ≥32 °C) on hospital arrival with the cardiac rhythm of asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA) on arrival, all 107 patients (66 asystole, 41 PEA) who lacked one or more of the requirements (witness; bystander CPR; signs of life or pupil < 5 mm) had unfavourable neurological outcomes. All 5 cases with favourable neurological outcomes, except for 1 case with a short duration of no-flow time that was highly suspected based on the patient's history, met all the requirements on hospital arrival. CONCLUSIONS A total of 202 ECPR cases with an initial asystole rhythm, including 12 patients with favourable neurological outcomes, were described. Even if the initial cardiac rhythm is asystole, ECPR could be considered if certain conditions are met.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) on short-term neurological outcomes and survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS We retrospectively analysed data collected between June 2014 and December 2019 from the Japanese OHCA registry. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) who underwent ECPR were included. We divided the patients into those who received IABP and those who did not receive IABP. The primary outcome was the 30-day favourable neurological outcomes in survived patients. The secondary outcome was the 30-day survival. We performed propensity score matching (PSM) to adjust for confounding factors after multiple imputations of missing data. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using logistic regression analysis after PSM to adjust for confounding factors after IABP initiation. RESULTS Among 2135 adult patients who underwent ECPR, 1173 received IABP. In 842 matched patients, IABP use was associated with survival (aOR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.39-2.83; p < 0.001). However, IABP use was not significantly associated with the 30-day neurologically favourable outcome in 190 survived patients (aOR, 1.22; 95% CI, 0.79-1.89; p = 0.36). CONCLUSION The use of IABP in patients with OHCA who underwent ECPR was associated with 30-day survival. Among survived patients, there was no significant association between IABP use and 30-day neurological outcome. A further well-designed prospective study is needed.

Abstract
The rates of survival with functional recovery for out of hospital cardiac arrest remain unacceptably low. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) quickly resolves the low-flow state of conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) providing valuable perfusion to end organs. Observational studies have shown an association with the use of ECPR and improved survivability. Two recent randomized controlled studies have demonstrated improved survival with functional neurologic recovery when compared to CCPR. Substantial resources and coordination amongst different specialties and departments are crucial for the successful implementation of ECPR. Standardized protocols, simulation based training, and constant communication are invaluable to the sustainability of a program. Currently there is no standardized protocol for the post-cannulation management of these ECPR patients and, ideally, upcoming studies should aim to evaluate these protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended in the management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) when coma persists after the return of spontaneous circulation. In the setting of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for OHCA patients, TTM is associated with good neurological outcomes and is recommended in the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization guidelines. However, the optimal targeted temperature for these patients has not yet been adequately investigated. This study aimed to compare the impact of different targeted temperatures on the outcomes in OHCA patients receiving ECMO. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of data from the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM)-OHCA Registry, a multicentre nationwide prospective database in Japan in which 103 institutions providing emergency care participated. OHCA patients aged ≥ 18 years who required ECMO with TTM between June 2014 and December 2019 were included in our analysis. The primary outcome was 30-day survival with favourable neurological outcomes, defined as a Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance category score of 1 or 2. Patients were divided into two groups according to their targeted temperature: normothermic TTM (n-TTM) (35-36 °C) and hypothermic TTM (h-TTM) (32-34 °C). We compared the outcomes between the two targeted temperature groups using multivariable logistic regression and inverse probability weighting (IPW). RESULTS A total of 890 adult OHCA patients who received ECMO and TTM were eligible for our analysis. Of these patients, 249 (28%) and 641 (72%) were treated with n-TTM and h-TTM, respectively. The proportions of patients with 30-day favourable neurological outcomes were 16.5% (41/249) and 15.9% (102/641), in the n-TTM and h-TTM groups, respectively. No difference in neurological outcomes was observed in the multiple regression analysis [adjusted odds ratio 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.58-1.43], and the result was constant in the IPW (odds ratio 1.01, 95% CI 0.67-1.54). CONCLUSION No difference was observed between n-TTM and h-TTM in OHCA patients receiving TTM with ECMO. The current understanding that changes to the targeted temperature have little impact on the outcome of patients may remain true regardless of ECMO use.

Abstract
Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced medical technology used to treat respiratory and heart failure. The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in significantly more ECMO patients worldwide. However, the number of hospitals with ECMO capabilities and ECMO-trained staff are limited. Training of personnel in ECMO could supplement this demand. Objective To evaluate our previously developed ECMO course using a task trainer-based training, as opposed to an existing live tissue-training model, and determine if such a program was adequate and could be expanded to other facilities. Methods Seventeen teams, each consisting of a physician and nurse, underwent a 5 hour accelerated ECMO course in which they watched prerecorded ECMO training lectures, primed circuit, cannulated, initiated ECMO, and corrected common complications. Training success was evaluated via knowledge and confidence assessments and observation of each team attempting to initiate ECMO while troubleshooting complications on a Yorkshire swine. Results Seventeen teams successfully completed the course. Sixteen teams (94%, 95% CI = 71%-100%) successfully placed the swine on veno-arterial ECMO. Of those 16 teams, 15 successfully transitioned to veno-arterial-venous ECMO. The knowledge assessments and confidence levels of physicians and nurses increased by 24.3% from pretest (mean of 65.3%, SD 14.4%) to posttest (mean of 89.6%, SD 10.3%), p < 0.0001. Conclusions An abbreviated one day lecture and hands-on task trainer-based ECMO course resulted in a high rate of successful skill demonstration and improvement of physicians' and nurses' knowledge assessments and confidence levels, similar to our previous live tissue training program.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an adjunct supportive therapy to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) employing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in the setting of refractory cardiac arrest. Its use has seen a significant increase in the past decade, providing hope for good functional recovery to patients with cardiac arrest refractory to conventional resuscitation maneuvers. This review paper aims to summarize key findings from the ECPR literature available to date as well as the recommendations for ECPR set forth by leading national and international resuscitation societies. Additionally, we describe the successful pediatric ECPR program at Texas Children's Hospital, highlighting the logistical, technical and educational features of the program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival rates in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remain low with conventional advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) implantation during ongoing resuscitation, a method called extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), may increase survival. This study examined whether ECPR is associated with improved outcomes. METHODS Prague OHCA trial enrolled adults with a witnessed refractory OHCA of presumed cardiac origin. In this secondary analysis, the effect of ECPR on 180-day survival using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazard model was examined. RESULTS Among 256 patients (median age 58 years, 83% male) with median duration of resuscitation 52.5 min (36.5-68), 83 (32%) patients achieved prehospital ROSC during ongoing conventional ACLS prehospitally, 81 (32%) patients did not achieve prehospital ROSC with prolonged conventional ACLS, and 92 (36%) patients did not achieve prehospital ROSC and received ECPR. The overall 180-day survival was 51/83 (61.5%) in patients with prehospital ROSC, 1/81 (1.2%) in patients without prehospital ROSC treated with conventional ACLS and 22/92 (23.9%) in patients without prehospital ROSC treated with ECPR (log-rank p < 0.001). After adjustment for covariates (age, sex, initial rhythm, prehospital ROSC status, time of emergency medical service arrival, resuscitation time, place of cardiac arrest, percutaneous coronary intervention status), ECPR was associated with a lower risk of 180-day death (HR 0.21, 95% CI 0.14-0.31; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this secondary analysis of the randomized refractory OHCA trial, ECPR was associated with improved 180-day survival in patients without prehospital ROSC.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungIn den vergangenen Jahren hat der Einsatz mechanischer Unterstützungssysteme für Patienten mit Herz- und Kreislaufversagen kontinuierlich zugenommen, sodass in Deutschland mittlerweile
jährlich etwa 3000 ECLS-/ECMO-Systeme implantiert werden. Vor dem Hintergrund bislang fehlender umfassender Leitlinien bestand ein dringlicher Bedarf an der Formulierung evidenzbasierter
Empfehlungen zu den zentralen Aspekten der ECLS-/ECMO-Therapie. Im Juli 2015 wurde daher die Erstellung einer S3-Leitlinie durch die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Thorax-, Herz- und
Gefäßchirurgie (DGTHG) bei der zuständigen Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften e. V. (AWMF) angemeldet. In einem strukturierten Konsensusprozess mit
Einbindung von Experten aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, delegiert aus 11 AWMF-Fachgesellschaften, 5 weiteren Fachgesellschaften sowie der Patientenvertretung, entstand unter
Federführung der DGTHG die Leitlinie „Einsatz der extrakorporalen Zirkulation (ECLS/ECMO) bei Herz- und Kreislaufversagen“, die im Februar 2021 publiziert wurde. Die Leitlinie fokussiert auf
klinische Aspekte der Initiierung, Fortführung, Entwöhnung und Nachsorge und adressiert hierbei auch strukturelle und ökonomische Fragestellungen. Dieser Artikel präsentiert eine Übersicht
zu der Methodik und den konsentierten Empfehlungen.

Abstract
Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients experience poor survival. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a form of heart-lung bypass, in the setting of cardiac arrest, termed extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), has promise in improving survival with good neurologic outcomes. The study objective was to determine the number of potential annual ECPR candidates among the OHCA population in a health region within the Atlantic Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted over a five-year period: January 1st, 2012 to December 31st, 2016. Consecutive non-traumatic OHCA and emergency department (ED) cardiac arrests occurring in a pre-determined catchment area (20-minute transport to ECMO center) defined by a geographic bounding box were identified. Criteria for ECPR were developed to identify candidates for activation of a “Code ECPR”: (1) age 16-70, (2) witnessed arrest, (3) no flow duration (time to CPR, including bystander) <10 minutes, (4) resuscitation >10 minutes without return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), (5) emergency medical service (EMS) transport to hospital <20 minutes, (6) no patient factors precluding ongoing resuscitation (do not resuscitate status (DNR), palliative care involvement, or metastatic cancer), and (7) initial rhythm not asystole. Candidates were stratified by initial rhythm. Candidates were considered ultimately ED ECPR eligible if they failed conventional treatment, defined by death or resuscitation >30 minutes. Clinical data related to candidacy was extracted by an electronic query from prehospital and ED electronic records and manual chart review by three researchers. Results Our search yielded 561 cases of EMS-treated OHCA or in-ED arrests. Of those 204/561 (36%; 95% CI 33-40%) met the criteria for activation of a “Code ECPR”. Ultimately 79/204 (34%; 95% CI 28-41%) of those who met activation criteria were considered ED ECPR eligible; which is 14% (95% CI 11-17%) of the total number of arrests-of the total number of arrests, the initial rhythms were pulseless electrical activity (PEA) 33/79 (42%; 95% CI 32-53%) and shockable 46/79 (58%; 95% CI 47-69%). Conclusion Of all cardiac arrests in the area surrounding our ECMO center, approximately 41 per year met the criteria for a Code ECPR activation, with 16 per year ultimately being eligible for ED ECPR. This annual estimate varies based on the inclusion of initial rhythm. This provides insight into both prehospital and hospital implications of an ED ECPR program and will help guide the establishment of a program within our Nova Scotian health region. This study also provides a framework for similar investigation at other institutions contemplating ED ECPR program implementation.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
After cardiac arrest, a key factor determining survival outcomes is low-flow duration. Our aims were to determine the relation of survival and low-flow duration of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR) and if these 2 therapies have different short-term survival curves in relation to low-flow duration.
METHODS
We searched Embase, Medline, Web of Science and Google Scholar from inception up to April 2021. A linear mixed-effect model was used to describe the course of survival over time, based on study-specific and time-specific aggregated survival data.
RESULTS
We included 42 observational studies reporting on 1689 ECPR and 375 751 CCPR procedures. Of the included studies, 25 included adults, 13 included children and 4 included both. In adults, survival curves decline rapidly over time (ECPR 37.2%, 29.8%, 23.8% and 19.1% versus CCPR-shockable 36.8%, 7.2%, 1.4% and 0.3% for 15, 30, 45 and 60 min low-flow, respectively). ECPR was associated with a statistically significant slower decline in survival than CCPR with initial shockable rhythms (CCPR-shockable). In children, survival curves decline rapidly over time (ECPR 43.6%, 41.7%, 39.8% and 38.0% versus CCPR-shockable 48.6%, 20.5%, 8.6% and 3.6% for 15, 30, 45 and 60 min low-flow, respectively). ECPR was associated with a statistically significant slower decline in survival than CCPR-shockable.
CONCLUSIONS
The short-term survival of ECPR and CCPR-shockable patients both decline rapidly over time, in adults as well as in children. This decline of short-term survival in relation to low-flow duration in ECPR was slower than in conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown an association between hyperoxemia and mortality in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); however, evidence is lacking in the extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) setting. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that hyperoxemia is associated with poor neurological outcomes in patients treated by ECPR. METHODS The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine OHCA Registry is a multicenter, prospective, observational registry of patients from 2014 to 2017. Adult (18 years or older) patients who had undergone ECPR after OHCA were included. Eligible patients were divided into two groups based on the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) levels at 24 h after ECPR: the high-PaO2 group (n = 242) defined as PaO2 ≥ 157 mm Hg (median) and the low-PaO2 group (n = 211) defined as PaO2 60 to < 157 mm Hg. The primary outcome was the favorable neurological outcome, defined as a Cerebral Performance Categories Scale score of 1 to 2 at 30 days after OHCA. RESULTS Of 34,754 patients with OHCA, 453 patients were included. The neurological outcome was significantly lower in the high-PaO2 group than in the low-PaO2 group (15.9 vs. 33.5%; p < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, high PaO2 was negatively associated with favorable neurological outcomes (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.24-0.97; p = 0.040). In a multivariate analysis with multiple imputation, high PaO2 was also negatively associated with favorable neurological outcomes (aOR 0.63; 95% CI 0.49-0.81; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Hyperoxemia was associated with worse neurological outcomes in OHCA patients with ECPR.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungIn den vergangenen Jahren hat der Einsatz mechanischer Unterstützungssysteme für Patienten mit Herz- und Kreislaufversagen kontinuierlich zugenommen, sodass in Deutschland
mittlerweile jährlich etwa 3000 ECLS/ECMO-Systeme implantiert werden. Vor dem Hintergrund bislang fehlender umfassender Leitlinien bestand ein dringlicher Bedarf an der
Formulierung evidenzbasierter Empfehlungen zu den zentralen Aspekten der ECLS/ECMO-Therapie.Im Juli 2015 wurde daher die Erstellung einer S3-Leitlinie durch die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Thorax-, Herz- und Gefäßchirurgie (DGTHG) bei der zuständigen Arbeitsgemeinschaft der
Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften e. V. (AWMF) angemeldet. In einem strukturierten Konsensusprozess mit Einbindung von Experten aus Deutschland, Österreich und
der Schweiz, delegiert aus 11 AWMF-Fachgesellschaften, 5 weiteren Fachgesellschaften sowie der Patientenvertretung, entstand unter Federführung der DGTHG die Leitlinie „Einsatz der
extrakorporalen Zirkulation (ECLS/ECMO) bei Herz- und Kreislaufversagen“, die im Februar 2021 publiziert wurde.Die Leitlinie fokussiert auf klinische Aspekte der Initiierung, Fortführung, Entwöhnung und Nachsorge und adressiert hierbei auch strukturelle und ökonomische Fragestellungen.
Dieser Artikel präsentiert eine Übersicht zu der Methodik und den konsentierten Empfehlungen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been increasing rapidly worldwide. However, guidelines or clinical studies do not provide sufficient data on ECPR practice. The aim of this study was to provide real-world data on ECPR for patients with OHCA, including details of complications. METHODS We did a retrospective database analysis of observational multicenter cohort study in Japan. Adult patients with OHCA of presumed cardiac etiology who received ECPR between 2013 and 2018 were included. The primary outcome was favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, defined as a cerebral performance category of 1 or 2. RESULTS A total of 1644 patients with OHCA were included in this study. The patient age was 18-93 years (median: 60 years). Shockable rhythm in the initial cardiac rhythm at the scene was 69.4%. The median estimated low flow time was 55 min (interquartile range: 45-66 min). Favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge was observed in 14.1% of patients, and the rate of survival to hospital discharge was 27.2%. The proportions of favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge in terms of shockable rhythm, pulseless electrical activity, and asystole were 16.7%, 9.2%, and 3.9%, respectively. Complications were observed during ECPR in 32.7% of patients, and the most common complication was bleeding, with the rates of cannulation site bleeding and other types of hemorrhage at 16.4% and 8.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this large cohort, data on the ECPR of 1644 patients with OHCA show that the proportion of favorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge was 14.1%, survival rate at hospital discharge was 27.2%, and complications were observed during ECPR in 32.7%.

Hyperoxia Is Not Associated With 30-day Survival in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients Who Undergo Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:867602. [PMID: 35615086 PMCID: PMC9124887 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.867602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction The appropriate arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between hyperoxia and 30-day survival in patients who underwent ECPR. Materials and Methods This single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 2010 and December 2018. OHCA patients who underwent ECPR were included in the study. Exclusion criteria were (1) age <18 years, (2) death within 24 h after admission, (3) return of spontaneous circulation at hospital arrival, and (4) hypoxia (PaO2 < 60 mmHg) 24 h after admission. Based on PaO2 at 24 h after admission, patients were classified into normoxia (60 mmHg ≤ PaO2 ≤ 100 mmHg), mild hyperoxia (100 mmHg < PaO2 ≤ 200 mmHg), and severe hyperoxia (PaO2 > 200 mmHg) groups. The primary outcome was 30-day survival after cardiac arrest, while the secondary outcome was 30-day favorable neurological outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis for 30-day survival or 30-day favorable neurological outcome was performed using multiple propensity scores as explanatory variables. To estimate the multiple propensity score, we fitted a multinomial logistic regression model using the patients' demographic, pre-hospital, and in-hospital characteristics. Results Of the patients who underwent ECPR in the study center, 110 were eligible for the study. The normoxia group included 29 cases, mild hyperoxia group included 46 cases, and severe hyperoxia group included 35 cases. Mild hyperoxia was not significantly associated with survival, compared with normoxia as the reference (adjusted odds ratio, 1.06; 95% confidence interval: 0.30-3.68; p = 0.93). Severe hyperoxia was also not significantly associated with survival compared to normoxia (adjusted odds ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval: 0.27-4.12; p = 0.94). Furthermore, no association was observed between oxygenation and 30-day favorable neurological outcomes. Conclusions There was no significant association between hyperoxia at 24 h after admission and 30-day survival in OHCA patients who underwent ECPR.
