Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury significantly contributes to the morbidity and mortality associated with cardiac events. Poloxamer 188 (P188), a nonionic triblock copolymer, has been proposed to mitigate I/R injury by stabilizing cell membranes. However, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood, particularly concerning endothelial cell function and nitric oxide (NO) production. We employed human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) and endothelial cells (ECs) to elucidate the effects of P188 on cellular survival, function, and NO secretion under simulated I/R conditions. iPSC-CMs contractility and iPSC-ECs' NO production were assessed following exposure to P188. Further, an isolated heart model using Brown Norway rats subjected to I/R injury was utilized to evaluate the ex-vivo cardioprotective effects of P188, examining cardiac function and NO production, with and without the administration of a NO inhibitor. In iPSC-derived models, P188 significantly preserved CM contractile function and enhanced cell viability after hypoxia/reoxygenation. Remarkably, P188 treatment led to a pronounced increase in NO secretion in iPSC-ECs, a novel finding demonstrating endothelial protective effects beyond membrane stabilization. In the rat isolated heart model, administration of P188 during reperfusion notably improved cardiac function and reduced I/R injury markers. This cardioprotective effect was abrogated by NO inhibition, underscoring the pivotal role of NO. Additionally, a dose-dependent increase in NO production was observed in non-ischemic rat hearts treated with P188, further establishing the critical function of NO in P188 induced cardioprotection. In conclusion, our comprehensive study unveils a novel role of NO in mediating the protective effects of P188 against I/R injury. This mechanism is evident in both cellular models and intact rat hearts, highlighting the potential of P188 as a therapeutic agent against I/R injury. Our findings pave the way for further investigation into P188's therapeutic mechanisms and its potential application in clinical settings to mitigate I/R-related cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Introduction: Cardiac arrest remains a worldwide health problem with very poor outcome. In the absence of bystander resuscitation, survival rates decrease by 10% per minute of arrest and global ischemia. Even the best manual chest compressions, however, can only produce a fraction of normal cardiac output and blood flow to vital organs. Physiological principles and current evidence for the use of mechanical devices to increase survival and quality of life after cardiac arrest are highlighted in this review article. Areas covered: Mechanical adjuncts such as the Active Compression Decompression device, automated chest compressors and the use of a negative pressure valve (Impedance Threshold Device) can synergistically aid in improving quality of CPR and increasing cardiac output and vital organ perfusion. Expert opinion: The current conclusions that the use of mechanical adjunct devices in a preclinical setting is not recommended or neutral at best, need to be reevaluated, especially with regard to new advanced and promising treatments that require prolonged high-quality CPR during the transport to a hospital to improve the outcome of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) affects nearly 400,000 people each year in the United States of which only 10% survive. Using data from the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES), and machine learning (ML) techniques, we developed a model of neurological outcome prediction for OHCA in Chicago, Illinois. METHODS Rescue workflow data of 2639 patients with witnessed OHCA were retrieved from Chicago's CARES. An Embedded Fully Convolutional Network (EFCN) classification model was selected to predict the patient outcome (survival with good neurological outcomes or not) based on 27 input features with the objective of maximizing the average class sensitivity. Using this model, sensitivity analysis of intervention variables such as bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), targeted temperature management, and coronary angiography was conducted. RESULTS The EFCN classification model has an average class sensitivity of 0.825. Sensitivity analysis of patient outcome shows that an additional 33 patients would have survived with good neurological outcome if they had received lay person CPR in addition to CPR by emergency medical services and 88 additional patients would have survived if they had received the coronary angiography intervention. CONCLUSIONS ML modeling of the complex Chicago OHCA rescue system can predict neurologic outcomes with a reasonable level of accuracy and can be used to support intervention decisions such as CPR or coronary angiography. The discriminative ability of this ML model requires validation in external cohorts to establish generalizability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Protocolized automation of critical, labor-intensive tasks for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation may decrease Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provider workload. A simulation-based assessment method incorporating objective and self-reported metrics was developed and used to quantify workloads associated with standard and experimental approaches to OHCA resuscitation. METHODS Emergency Medical Services-Basic (EMT-B) and advanced life support (ALS) providers were randomized into two-provider mixed-level teams and fitted with heart rate (HR) monitors for continuous HR and energy expenditure (EE) monitoring. Subjects' resting salivary α-amylase (sAA) levels were measured along with Borg perceived exertion scores and multidimensional workload assessments (NASA-TLX). Each team engaged in the following three OHCA simulations: (1) baseline simulation in standard BLS/ALS roles; (2) repeat simulation in standard roles; and then (3) repeat simulation in reversed roles, ie, EMT-B provider performing ALS tasks. Control teams operated with standard state protocols and equipment; experimental teams used resuscitation-automating devices and accompanying goal-directed algorithmic protocol for simulations 2 and 3. Investigators video-recorded resuscitations and analyzed subjects' percent attained of maximal age-predicted HR (%mHR), EE, sAA, Borg, and NASA-TLX measurements. RESULTS Ten control and ten experimental teams completed the study (20 EMT-Basic; 1 EMT-Intermediate, 8 EMT-Cardiac, 11 EMT-Paramedic). Median %mHR, EE, sAA, Borg, and NASA-TLX scores did not differ between groups at rest. Overall multivariate analyses of variance did not detect significant differences; univariate analyses of variance for changes in %mHR, Borg, and NASA-TLX from resting state detected significant differences across simulations (workload reductions in experimental groups for simulations 2 and 3). CONCLUSIONS A simulation-based OHCA resuscitation performance and workload assessment method compared protocolized automation-assisted resuscitation with standard response. During exploratory application of the assessment method, subjects using the experimental approach appeared to experience reduced levels of physical exertion and perceived workload than control subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methods for comparing hospitals regarding cardiac arrest (CA) outcomes, vital for improving resuscitation performance, rely on data collected by cardiac arrest registries. However, most CA patients are treated at hospitals that do not participate in such registries. This study aimed to determine whether CA risk standardization modeling based on administrative data could perform as well as that based on registry data. METHODS AND RESULTS Two risk standardization logistic regression models were developed using 2453 patients treated from 2000-2015 at three hospitals in an academic health system. Registry and administrative data were accessed for all patients. The outcome was death at hospital discharge. The registry model was considered the "gold standard" with which to compare the administrative model, using metrics including comparing areas under the curve, calibration curves, and Bland-Altman plots. The administrative risk standardization model had a c-statistic of 0.891 (95% CI: 0.876-0.905) compared to a registry c-statistic of 0.907 (95% CI: 0.895-0.919). When limited to only non-modifiable factors, the administrative model had a c-statistic of 0.818 (95% CI: 0.799-0.838) compared to a registry c-statistic of 0.810 (95% CI: 0.788-0.831). All models were well-calibrated. There was no significant difference between c-statistics of the models, providing evidence that valid risk standardization can be performed using administrative data. CONCLUSIONS Risk standardization using administrative data performs comparably to standardization using registry data. This methodology represents a new tool that can enable opportunities to compare hospital performance in specific hospital systems or across the entire US in terms of survival after CA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Institute of Medicine and American Heart Association have called for tiered accreditation standards and regionalization of post-cardiac arrest care, but there is little data to support that regionalization has a durable effect on patient outcomes. We tested the effect of treatment at a high-volume center on long-term outcome after sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). METHODS We included patients hospitalized at one of 7 medical centers in Southwestern Pennsylvania after SCA from 2005 to 2013. Centers were one regional referral center with an organized systems for post-SCA care, two moderate volume tertiary care centers and 4 low-volume centers. We abstracted clinical characteristics and outcomes at hospital discharge, and for survivors to discharge we queried the National Death Index for long-term survival data. We used Cox regression to determine the unadjusted associations of baseline predictors and survival, and built an adjusted model controlling for baseline predictors. RESULTS Overall, 987 patients survived to discharge. During 2196 person-years of follow-up, median survival was 5.3 years and there were 396 deaths. In unadjusted analysis, treating center, age, arrest location, Charlson Comorbidity Index, initial rhythm, cardiac catheterization, defibrillator placement, discharge disposition, and neurological status at discharge were associated with long-term outcome. In adjusted analysis, treatment at the high-volume cardiac arrest center was associated with improved survival compared to treatment at other centers (hazards ratio 1.49, 95% confidence interval 1.19-1.86). CONCLUSION Treatment at a high-volume cardiac arrest center with organized systems for post-arrest care is associated with a substantial long-term survival benefit after hospital discharge.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Effective resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients is challenging. Alternative resuscitative approaches using electromechanical adjuncts may improve provider performance. Investigators applied simulation to study the effect of an experimental automation-assisted, goal-directed OHCA management protocol on EMS providers' resuscitation performance relative to standard protocols and equipment. METHODS Two-provider (emergency medical technicians (EMT)-B and EMT-I/C/P) teams were randomized to control or experimental group. Each team engaged in 3 simulations: baseline simulation (standard roles); repeat simulation (standard roles); and abbreviated repeat simulation (reversed roles, i.e., basic life support provider performing ALS tasks). Control teams used standard OHCA protocols and equipment (with high-performance cardiopulmonary resuscitation training intervention); for second and third simulations, experimental teams performed chest compression, defibrillation, airway, pulmonary ventilation, vascular access, medication, and transport tasks with goal-directed protocol and resuscitation-automating devices. Videorecorders and simulator logs collected resuscitation data. RESULTS Ten control and 10 experimental teams comprised 20 EMT-B's; 1 EMT-I, 8 EMT-C's, and 11 EMT-P's; study groups were not fully matched. Both groups suboptimally performed chest compressions and ventilations at baseline. For their second simulations, control teams performed similarly except for reduced on-scene time, and experimental teams improved their chest compressions (P=0.03), pulmonary ventilations (P<0.01), and medication administration (P=0.02); changes in their performance of chest compression, defibrillation, airway, and transport tasks did not attain significance against control teams' changes. Experimental teams maintained performance improvements during reversed-role simulations. CONCLUSION Simulation-based investigation into OHCA resuscitation revealed considerable variability and improvable deficiencies in small EMS teams. Goal-directed, automation-assisted OHCA management augmented select resuscitation bundle element performance without comprehensive improvement.

Abstract
Neurocognitive disturbances are common among survivors of cardiac arrest (CA). Although initial management of CA, including bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, optimal chest compression, and early defibrillation, has been implemented continuously over the last years, few therapeutic interventions are available to minimize or attenuate the extent of brain injury occurring after the return of spontaneous circulation. In this review, we discuss several promising drugs that could provide some potential benefits for neurological recovery after CA. Most of these drugs have been investigated exclusively in experimental CA models and only limited clinical data are available. Further research, which also considers combined neuroprotective strategies that target multiple pathways involved in the pathophysiology of postanoxic brain injury, is certainly needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of these interventions in this setting. Moreover, the evaluation of neurological prognosis of comatose patients after CA remains an important challenge that requires the accurate use of several tools. As most patients with CA are currently treated with targeted temperature management (TTM), combined with sedative drug therapy, especially during the hypothermic phase, the reliability of neurological examination in evaluating these patients is delayed to 72-96 h after admission. Thus, additional tests, including electrophysiological examinations, brain imaging and biomarkers, have been largely implemented to evaluate earlier the extent of brain damage in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival varies among those resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Evidence-based performance measures have been used to describe hospital quality of care in conditions such as acute coronary syndrome and major trauma. It remains unclear if adherence to performance measures is associated with better outcome in patients hospitalized after OHCA. OBJECTIVES To assess whether a composite performance score based on evidence-based guidelines for care of patients resuscitated from OHCA was independently associated with clinical outcomes. METHODS Included were 3252 patients with OHCA who received care at 111 U.S. and Canadian hospitals participating in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC-PRIMED) study between June 2007 and October 2009. We calculated composite performance scores for all patients, aggregated these at the hospital level, then associated them with patient mortality and favorable neurological status at discharge. RESULTS Composite performance scores varied widely (median [IQR] scores from lowest to highest hospital quartiles, 21% [20%, 25%] vs. 59% [55%, 64%]. Adjusted survival to discharge increased with each quartile of performance score (from lowest to highest: 16.2%, 20.8%, 28.5%, 34.8%, P<0.01), with similar findings for adjusted rates of good neurologic status. Hospital score was significantly associated with outcome after risk adjustment for established baseline factors (highest vs. lowest adherence quartile: adjusted OR of survival 1.64; 95% CI 1.13, 2.38). CONCLUSIONS Greater survival and favorable neurologic status at discharge were associated with greater adherence to recommended hospital based post-resuscitative care guidelines. Consideration should be given to measuring, reporting and improving hospital adherence to guideline-based performance measures, which could improve outcomes following OHCA.

Anaesthetic Postconditioning at the Initiation of CPR Improves Myocardial and Mitochondrial Function in a Pig Model of Prolonged Untreated Ventricular Fibrillation. Resuscitation 2014; 85:1745-51. [PMID: 25281906 PMCID: PMC4276313 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2014.09.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2014] [Revised: 09/22/2014] [Accepted: 09/22/2014] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaesthetic postconditioning (APoC) attenuates myocardial injury following coronary ischaemia/reperfusion. We hypothesised that APoC at the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) will improve post resuscitation myocardial function along with improved mitochondrial function in a pig model of prolonged untreated ventricular fibrillation. METHODS In 32 pigs isoflurane anaesthesia was discontinued prior to induction of ventricular fibrillation that was left untreated for 15 min. At the initiation of CPR, 15 animals were randomised to controls (CON), and 17 to APoC with 2 vol% sevoflurane during the first 3 min CPR. Pigs were defibrillated after 4 min of CPR. After return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), isoflurane was restarted at 0.8-1.5 vol% in both groups. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured continuously. Of the animals that achieved ROSC, eight CON and eight APoC animals were randomised to have their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) assessed by echocardiography at 4h. Seven CON and nine APoC were randomised to euthanasia 15 min after ROSC to isolate mitochondria from the left ventricle for bioenergetic studies. RESULTS ROSC was achieved in 10/15 CON and 15/17 APoC animals. APoC improved haemodynamics during CPR and post-CPR LVEF%. Mitochondrial ATP synthesis, coupling of oxidative phosphorylation and calcium retention capacity were improved in cardiac mitochondria isolated after APoC. CONCLUSIONS In a porcine model of prolonged untreated cardiac arrest, APoC with inhaled sevoflurane at the initiation of CPR, is associated with preserved mitochondrial function and improved post resuscitation myocardial dysfunction.

Abstract
Unfortunately, of all patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction (MI), usually in the form of ST-elevation MI, 25-35% will die of sudden cardiac death (SCD) before receiving medical attention, most often from ventricular fibrillation. For patients who reach the hospital, prognosis is considerably better and has improved over the years. Reperfusion therapy, best attained with primary percutaneous coronary intervention compared to thrombolysis, has made a big difference in reducing the risk of SCD early and late after ST-elevation MI. In-hospital SCD due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias is manageable, with either preventive measures or drugs or electrical cardioversion. There is general agreement for secondary prevention of SCD post-MI with implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) when malignant ventricular arrhythmias occur late (>48 h) after an MI, and are not due to reversible or correctable causes. The major challenge remains that of primary prevention, that is, how to prevent SCD during the first 1-3 months after ST-elevation MI for patients who have low left ventricular ejection fraction and are not candidates for an ICD according to current guidelines, due to the results of two studies, which did not show any benefits of early (<40 days after an MI) ICD implantation. Two recent documents may provide direction as to how to bridge the gap for this early post-MI period. Both recommend an electrophysiology study to guide implantation of an ICD, at least for those developing syncope or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, who have an inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia at the electrophysiology study. An ICD is also recommended for patients with indication for a permanent pacemaker due to bradyarrhythmias, who also meet primary prevention criteria for SCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding temporal differences in the incidence and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has important implications for developing preventative strategies and optimizing systems for OHCA care. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 18 588 OHCAs of presumed cardiac origin in patients aged ≥18 years who received resuscitative efforts by emergency medical services (EMS) and were enrolled in the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) from October 1, 2005, to December 31, 2010. We evaluated temporal variability in OHCA incidence and survival to hospital discharge. There was significant variability in the frequency of OHCA by hour of the day (P<0.001), day of the week (P<0.001), and month of the year (P<0.001), with the highest incidence occurring during the daytime, from Friday to Monday, in December. Survival to hospital discharge was lowest for OHCA that occurred overnight (from 11:01 pm to 7 am; 7.1%) versus daytime (7:01 am to 3 pm; 10.8%) or evening (3:01 pm to 11 pm; 11.3%; P<0.001) and during the winter (8.8%) versus spring (11.1%), summer (11.0%), or fall (10.0%; P<0.001). There was no difference in survival to hospital discharge between OHCAs that occurred on weekends and weekdays (9.5% versus 10.4%, P=0.06). After multivariable adjustment for age, sex, race, witness status, layperson resuscitation, first monitored cardiac rhythm, and emergency medical services response time, compared with daytime and spring, survival to hospital discharge remained lowest for OHCA that occurred overnight (odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.70-0.95; P=0.008) and during the winter (odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.70-0.94; P=0.006), respectively. CONCLUSIONS There is significant temporal variability in the incidence of and survival after OHCA. The relative contribution of patient pathophysiology, likelihood of the OHCA being observed, and prehospital and hospital-based resuscitative factors deserves further exploration.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY We investigated the effects of ischemic postconditioning (IPC) with and without cardioprotective vasodilatory therapy (CVT) at the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on cardio-cerebral function and 48-h survival. METHODS Prospective randomized animal study. Following 15 min of ventricular fibrillation, 42 Yorkshire farm pigs weighing an average of 34 ± 2 kg were randomized to receive standard CPR (SCPR, n=12), SCPR+IPC (n=10), SCPR+IPC+CVT (n=10), or SCPR+CVT (n=10). IPC was delivered during the first 3 min of CPR with 4 cycles of 20s of chest compressions followed by 20-s pauses. CVT consisted of intravenous sodium nitroprusside (2mg) and adenosine (24 mg) during the first minute of CPR. Epinephrine was given in all groups per standard protocol. A transthoracic echocardiogram was obtained on all survivors 1 and 4h post-ROSC. The brains were extracted after euthanasia at least 24h later to assess ischemic injury in 7 regions. Ischemic injury was graded on a 0-4 scale with (0=no injury to 4 ≥ 50% neural injury). The sum of the regional scores was reported as cerebral histological score (CHS). 48 h survival was reported. RESULTS Post-resuscitation left ventricular ejection (LVEF) fraction improved in SCPR+CVT, SCPR+IPC+CVT and SCPR+IPC groups compared to SCPR (59% ± 9%, 52% ± 14%, 52% ± 14% vs. 35% ± 11%, respectively, p<0.05). Only SCPR+IPC and SCPR+IPC+CVT, but not SCPR+CVT, had lower mean CHS compared to SCPR (5.8 ± 2.6, 2.8 ± 1.8 vs. 10 ± 2.1, respectively, p<0.01). The 48-h survival among SCPR+IPC, SCPR+CVT, SCPR+IPC+CVT and SCPR was 6/10, 3/10, 5/10 and 1/12, respectively (Cox regression p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS IPC and CVT during standard CPR improved post-resuscitation LVEF but only IPC was independently neuroprotective and improved 48-h survival after 15 min of untreated cardiac arrest in pigs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epinephrine is recommended in advanced cardiac life support guidelines for use in adult cardiac arrest, and has been used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation since 1896. Yet, despite its long time use and incorporation into guidelines, epinephrine suffers from a paucity of evidence regarding its influence on survival. This critical review was conducted to address the knowledge deficit regarding epinephrine in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and its effect on return of spontaneous circulation, survival to hospital discharge, and neurological performance. METHODS The EMBASE and MEDLINE (through the Pubmed interface) databases, and the Cochrane library were searched with the key words "epinephrine", "cardiac arrest" and variations of these terms. Original research studies concerning epinephrine use in adult, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were selected for further review. RESULTS The search yielded nine eligible studies based on inclusion criteria. This includes five prospective cohort studies, one retrospective cohort study, one survival analysis, one case control study, and one RCT. The evidence clearly establishes an association between epinephrine and increased return of spontaneous circulation, the data were conflicting concerning survival to hospital discharge and neurological outcome. CONCLUSIONS The results of this review exhibit the paucity of evidence regarding the use of epinephrine in out of hospital cardiac arrest. There is currently insufficient evidence to support or reject its administration during resuscitation. Larger sample, placebo controlled, double blind, randomized control trials need to be performed to definitively establish the effect of epinephrine on both survival to hospital discharge and the neurological outcomes of treated patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss recent data relating to survival rates after cardiac arrest and interventions that can be used to optimize outcome. RECENT FINDINGS A recent analysis of 70 studies indicates that following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), 7.6% of patients will survive to hospital discharge (95% confidence interval 6.7-8.4). Following in-hospital cardiac arrest, 18% of patients will survive to hospital discharge. Survival may be optimized by increasing the rate of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which can be achieved by improving recognition of cardiac arrest, simplifying CPR and training more of the community. Feedback systems improve the quality of CPR but this has yet to be translated into improved outcome. One study has shown improved survival following OHCA with active compression-decompression CPR combined with an impedance-threshold device. In those who have no obvious extracardiac cause of OHCA, 70% have at least one significant coronary lesion demonstrable by coronary angiography. Although generally reserved for those with ST-elevation myocardial infarction, primary percutaneous coronary intervention may also benefit OHCA survivors with ECG patterns other than ST elevation. The term 'mild therapeutic hypothermia' has been replaced by the term 'targeted temperature management'; its role in optimizing outcome after cardiac arrest continues to be defined. SUMMARY In several centres, survival rates following OHCA are increasing. All links in the chain of survival must be optimized if a good-quality neurological outcome is to be achieved.

Abstract
Caring in the emergency department for the patient with return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest is challenging. A coordinated and systematic approach to post-cardiac arrest care can improve the mortality and the chance of meaningful neurologic recovery. By achieving appropriate targets for oxygenation, ventilation, and hemodynamic parameters, along with initiating therapeutic hypothermia and arranging early percutaneous coronary intervention, the emergency physician can have the most significant impact on patients who have just been revived from death.
