Abstract
The Wilderness Medical Society convened a panel to review available evidence supporting practices for acute management of drowning in out-of-hospital and emergency care settings. Literature about definitions and terminology, epidemiology, rescue, resuscitation, acute clinical management, disposition, and drowning prevention was reviewed. The panel graded available evidence supporting practices according to the American College of Chest Physicians criteria and then made recommendations based on that evidence. Recommendations were based on the panel's collective clinical experience and judgment when published evidence was lacking. This is the second update to the original practice guidelines published in 2016 and updated in 2019.

Predisposing Factors and Neurologic Outcomes of Patients with Elevated Serum Amylase and/or Lipase after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11051426. [PMID: 35268517 PMCID: PMC8910840 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11051426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the patient outcomes, incidence, and predisposing factors of elevated pancreatic enzyme levels after OHCA. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Elevation of pancreatic enzyme levels was defined as serum amylase or lipase levels that were at least three times the upper limit of normal. The factors associated with elevated pancreatic enzyme levels and their association with neurologic outcomes and mortality 28 days after OHCA were analyzed. Among the 355 patients, 166 (46.8%) patients developed elevated pancreatic enzyme levels. In the multivariable analysis (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval), initial shockable rhythm (0.62, 0.39−0.98, p = 0.04), time from collapse to return of spontaneous circulation (1.02, 1.01−1.04, p < 0.001), and history of coronary artery disease (1.7, 1.01−2.87, p = 0.046) were associated with elevated pancreatic enzyme levels. After adjusting for confounding factors, elevated pancreatic enzyme levels were associated with neurologic outcomes (5.44, 3.35−8.83, p < 0.001) and mortality (3.74, 2.39−5.86, p < 0.001). Increased pancreatic enzyme levels are common in patients treated with TTM after OHCA and are associated with unfavorable neurologic outcomes and mortality at 28 days after OHCA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mechanisms underlying hypothermia-induced pancreatic injury are unclear. Thus, we investigated the pathophysiology of hypothermia-induced pancreatic injury. METHODS We created a normal circulatory model with body surface cooling in rats. We divided the rats into control (36°C-38°C), mild hypothermia (33°C-35°C), moderate hypothermia (30°C-32°C), and severe hypothermia (27°C-29°C) (n = 5 per group) groups. Then, we induced circulatory failure with a cooling model using high-dose inhalation anesthesia and divided the rats into control (36°C-38°C) and severe hypothermia (27°C-29°C) (n = 5 per group) groups. Serum samples were collected before the introduction of hypothermia. Serum and pancreatic tissue were collected after maintaining the target body temperature for 1 hour. RESULTS Hematoxylin and eosin staining of the pancreas revealed vacuoles and edema in the hypothermia group. Serum amylase (P = 0.056), lactic acid (P < 0.05), interleukin 1β (P < 0.05), interleukin 6 (P < 0.05), and tumor necrosis factor α (P = 0.13) levels were suppressed by hypothermia. The circulatory failure model exhibited pancreatic injury. CONCLUSIONS Hypothermia induced bilateral effects on the pancreas. Morphologically, hypothermia induced pancreatic injury based on characteristic pathology typified by vacuoles. Serologically, hypothermia induced protective effects on the pancreas by suppressing amylase and inflammatory cytokine levels.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the ability of clinical examination, blood biomarkers, electrophysiology, or neuroimaging assessed within 7 days from return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) to predict poor neurological outcome, defined as death, vegetative state, or severe disability (CPC 3–5) at hospital discharge/1 month or later, in comatose adult survivors from cardiac arrest (CA). Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (January 2013–April 2020) were searched. Sensitivity and false-positive rate (FPR) for each predictor were calculated. Due to heterogeneities in recording times, predictor thresholds, and definition of some predictors, meta-analysis was not performed. Results Ninety-four studies (30,200 patients) were included. Bilaterally absent pupillary or corneal reflexes after day 4 from ROSC, high blood values of neuron-specific enolase from 24 h after ROSC, absent N20 waves of short-latency somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) or unequivocal seizures on electroencephalogram (EEG) from the day of ROSC, EEG background suppression or burst-suppression from 24 h after ROSC, diffuse cerebral oedema on brain CT from 2 h after ROSC, or reduced diffusion on brain MRI at 2–5 days after ROSC had 0% FPR for poor outcome in most studies. Risk of bias assessed using the QUIPS tool was high for all predictors. Conclusion In comatose resuscitated patients, clinical, biochemical, neurophysiological, and radiological tests have a potential to predict poor neurological outcome with no false-positive predictions within the first week after CA. Guidelines should consider the methodological concerns and limited sensitivity for individual modalities.

Abstract
Background The gray-white-matter ratio (GWR) measured on brain computed tomography (CT) following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) has been reported to be helpful in the prognostication of mortality or comatose status of cardiac arrest victims. However, whether the use of GWR in predicting the outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors in Taiwan population remains uninvestigated. Methods This retrospective observational study conducted in a single tertiary medical center in Taiwan enrolled all the non-traumatic OHCA adults (> 18 years old) with sustained ROSC (≥ 20 minutes) during the period from 2006 to 2014. Patients with following exclusion criteria were further excluded: no brain CT within 24 hours following ROSC; the presence of intracranial hemorrhage, severe old insult, brain tumor, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, and severe image artifact. The GWR values were obtained from the density measurement of bilateral putamen, caudate nuclei, posterior limbs of internal capsule, corpus callosum, medial cortex and medial white matter of cerebrum in Hounsfield unit with region of interest of 0.11 cm2, and further compared between the patients who survived to hospital discharge or not and the patients with and without good neurological outcome (good: cerebral performance category [CPC] of 1-2, poor: CPC of 3-5), respectively. Results A total of 228 patients were included in the final analysis with 59.2% in male gender and mean age of 65.8-year-old. There were 106 patients (46.5%) survived to hospital discharge and 40 patients (17.5%) discharged with good neurological outcomes. The GWR values of patients who survived to hospital discharge was significantly higher than ones of those who failed (e.g. basal ganglion: 1.239 vs. 1.199, p < 0.001). Patients with good neurological outcome also had higher GWR values than those with poor outcome (e.g. basal ganglion: 1.243 vs. 1.208, p = 0.010). The Area Under Curve of Receiver of Characteristic curve demonstrated fair predicting ability of GWR for survival and neurological outcomes. Conclusion The use of GWR measured on bran CT within 24 hours following ROSC can help in predicting survival-to-hospital discharge and neurological outcome in OHCA survivors.

Estimating the False Positive Rate of Absent Somatosensory Evoked Potentials in Cardiac Arrest Prognostication. Crit Care Med 2019; 46:e1213-e1221.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Absence of somatosensory evoked potentials is considered a nearly perfect predictor of poor outcome after cardiac arrest. However, reports of good outcomes despite absent somatosensory evoked potentials and high rates of withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies have raised concerns that estimates of the prognostic value of absent somatosensory evoked potentials may be biased by self-fulfilling prophecies. We aimed to develop an unbiased estimate of the false positive rate of absent somatosensory evoked potentials as a predictor of poor outcome after cardiac arrest. DATA SOURCES PubMed. STUDY SELECTION We selected 35 studies in cardiac arrest prognostication that reported somatosensory evoked potentials. DATA EXTRACTION In each study, we identified rates of withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies and good outcomes despite absent somatosensory evoked potentials. We appraised studies for potential biases using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. Using these data, we developed a statistical model to estimate the false positive rate of absent somatosensory evoked potentials adjusted for withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies rate. DATA SYNTHESIS Two-thousand one-hundred thirty-three subjects underwent somatosensory evoked potential testing. Five-hundred ninety-four had absent somatosensory evoked potentials; of these, 14 had good functional outcomes. The rate of withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies for subjects with absent somatosensory evoked potential could be estimated in 14 of the 35 studies (mean 80%, median 100%). The false positive rate for absent somatosensory evoked potential in predicting poor neurologic outcome, adjusted for a withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies rate of 80%, is 7.7% (95% CI, 4-13%). CONCLUSIONS Absent cortical somatosensory evoked potentials do not infallibly predict poor outcome in patients with coma following cardiac arrest. The chances of survival in subjects with absent somatosensory evoked potentials, though low, may be substantially higher than generally believed.

Abstract
Successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest results in a post–cardiac arrest syndrome, which can evolve in the days to weeks after return of sustained circulation. The components of post–cardiac arrest syndrome are brain injury, myocardial dysfunction, systemic ischemia/reperfusion response, and persistent precipitating pathophysiology. Pediatric post–cardiac arrest care focuses on anticipating, identifying, and treating this complex physiology to improve survival and neurological outcomes. This scientific statement on post–cardiac arrest care is the result of a consensus process that included pediatric and adult emergency medicine, critical care, cardiac critical care, cardiology, neurology, and nursing specialists who analyzed the past 20 years of pediatric cardiac arrest, adult cardiac arrest, and pediatric critical illness peer-reviewed published literature. The statement summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, management, and prognostication after return of sustained circulation after cardiac arrest, and it provides consensus on the current evidence supporting elements of pediatric post–cardiac arrest care.

Abstract
Background We hypothesized that the absence of P25 and the N20–P25 amplitude in somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) have higher sensitivity than the absence of N20 for poor neurological outcomes, and we evaluated the ability of SSEPs to predict long-term outcomes using pattern and amplitude analyses. Methods Using prospectively collected therapeutic hypothermia registry data, we evaluated whether cortical SSEPs contained a negative or positive short-latency wave (N20 or P25). The N20–P25 amplitude was defined as the largest difference in amplitude between the N20 and P25 peaks. A good or poor outcome was defined as a Glasgow-Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score of 1–2 or 3–5, respectively, 6 months after cardiac arrest. Results A total of 192 SSEP recordings were included. In all patients with a good outcome (n = 51), both N20 and P25 were present. Compared to the absence of N20, the absence of N20–P25 component improved the sensitivity for predicting a poor outcome from 30.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 23.0–38.8%) to 71.6% (95% CI, 63.4–78.9%), while maintaining a specificity of 100% (93.0–100.0%). Using an amplitude < 0.64 μV, i.e., the lowest N20–P25 amplitude in the good outcome group, as the threshold, the sensitivity for predicting a poor neurological outcome was 74.5% (95% CI, 66.5–81.4%). Using the highest N20–P25 amplitude in the CPC 4 group (2.31 μV) as the threshold for predicting a good outcome, the sensitivity and specificity were 52.9% (95% CI, 38.5–67.1%) and 96.5% (95% CI, 91.9–98.8%), respectively. The predictive performance of the N20–P25 amplitude was good, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.94 (95% CI, 0.90–0.97). The absence of N20 was statistically inferior regarding outcome prediction (p < 0.05), and amplitude analysis yielded significantly higher AUC values than did the pattern analysis (p < 0.05). Conclusions The simple pattern analysis of whether the N20–P25 component was present had a sensitivity comparable to that of the N20–P25 amplitude for predicting a poor outcome. Amplitude analysis was also capable of predicting a good outcome.

Abstract
AIM This study evaluated whether the grey-white matter ratio (GWR) assessed via early brain computed tomography (CT) within 2 h after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following cardiac arrest is associated with poor neurological outcomes after 6 months in post-cardiac arrest patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM). METHODS This study used data from the Korean Hypothermia Network prospective registry obtained from November 2015 to October 2017 to assess patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who underwent brain CT within 2 h following the ROSC. The primary endpoint was the neurological outcome 6 months post-cardiac arrest (cerebral performance category; CPC). The GWR was measured using early brain CT images. The subgroup analysis examined the difference in GWRs obtained from early and repeated brain CT. RESULTS Five-hundred-twelve patients were enrolled. Good (CPC 1-2) and poor (CPC 3-5) neurological outcomes were observed in 162 (31.6%) and 350 (68.4%) patients, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the GWR measured using early brain CT was a statistically nonsignificant predictor of poor neurologic outcomes (p = 0.727). In patients with poor outcomes, the mean GWR obtained from early and repeated CT images were 1.171 ± 0.058 and 1.091 ± 0.133, respectively (p < 0.001); there was no statistically significant difference between the GWRs in patients with good outcomes. CONCLUSION The GWR assessed via early brain CT alone is not an independent factor predictive of poor neurologic outcomes but could be useful when used with repeated CT data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Utstein style for drowning (USFD) was published in 2003 with the aim of improving drowning research. To support a revision of the USFD, the current study aimed to generate an inventory of the use of the USFD parameters and compare the findings of the publications that have used the USFD. METHODS A search in Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus was performed to identify studies that used the USFD and were published between 01-10-2003 and 22-03-2015. We also searched in Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus for all publications that cited the two publications containing the original ILCOR advisory statement introducing and recommending the USFD. In total we identified 14 publications by groups that explicitly used elements of the USFD for collecting and reporting their data. RESULTS Of the 22 core and 19 supplemental USFD parameters, 6-19 core (27-86%) and 1-12 (5-63%) supplemental parameters were used; two parameters (5%) have not been used in any publication. Associations with outcome were reported for nine core (41%) and five supplemental (26%) USFD parameters. The USFD publications also identified non-USFD parameters related to outcome: initial cardiac rhythm, time points and intervals during resuscitation, intubation at the drowning scene, first hospital core temperature, serum glucose and potassium, the use of inotropic/vasoactive agents and the Paediatric Index of Mortality 2-score. CONCLUSIONS Fourteen USFD based drowning publications have been identified. These publications provide valuable information about the process and quality of drowning resuscitation and confirm that the USFD is helpful for a structured comparison of the outcome of drowning resuscitation.

Prognostic performance of early absence of pupillary light reaction after recovery of out of hospital cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2018; 127:8-13. [PMID: 29545138 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2018.03.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2018] [Revised: 03/02/2018] [Accepted: 03/10/2018] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Loss of pupillary light reactivity (PLR) three days after a cardiorespiratory arrest is a prognostic factor. Its predictive value upon hospital admission remains unclear. Our objective was to determine the prognostic value of the absence of PLR upon hospital admission in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS We prospectively included all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring between July 2011 and July 2017 treated by a mobile medical team (MMT) based on data from a French cardiac arrest registry database. PLR was evaluated upon hospital admission and the outcome on day 30. The prognosis was classified as good for Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 1 or 2, and poor for CPC 3-5 or in case of death. RESULTS Data from 10151 patients was analysed. The sensitivity and specificity of the absence of PLR for a poor outcome were 72.2% (71.2-73.2) and 68.8% (66.7-70.1), respectively. We identified several variables modifying the sensitivity values and the false positive fraction of a factor, ranging from 0.49 (0.35-0.69) for the Glasgow Coma Scale to 2.17 (1.09-2.48) for pupillary asymmetry. Among those living with CPC 1 or 2 on day 30 (n = 1990; 19.6%), 621 (31.2% (29.2-33.3)) had no PLR upon hospital admission. In the multivariate analysis, loss of PLR was associated with a poor outcome (OR = 3.1 (2.7-3.5)). CONCLUSIONS Loss of pupillary light reactivity upon hospital admission is predictive of a poor outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, it does not have sufficient accuracy to determine prognosis and decision making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Utstein-style guidelines use an established consensus process, endorsed by the international resuscitation community, to facilitate and structure resuscitation research and publication. The first "Guidelines for Uniform Reporting of Data From Drowning" were published over a decade ago. During the intervening years, resuscitation science has advanced considerably, thus making revision of the guidelines timely. In particular, measurement of cardiopulmonary resuscitation elements and neurological outcomes reporting have advanced substantially. The purpose of this report is to provide updated guidelines for reporting data from studies of resuscitation from drowning. METHODS An international group with scientific expertise in the fields of drowning research, resuscitation research, emergency medical services, public health, and development of guidelines met in Potsdam, Germany, to determine the data that should be reported in scientific articles on the subject of resuscitation from drowning. At the Utstein-style meeting, participants discussed data elements in detail, defined the data, determined data priority, and decided how data should be reported, including scoring methods and category details. RESULTS The template for reporting data from drowning research was revised extensively, with new emphasis on measurement of quality of resuscitation, neurological outcomes, and deletion of data that have proved to be less relevant or difficult to capture. CONCLUSIONS The report describes the consensus process, rationale for selecting data elements to be reported, definitions and priority of data, and scoring methods. These guidelines are intended to improve the clarity of scientific communication and the comparability of scientific investigations.

Abstract
The objective of this review was to summarize published evidence of the effectiveness of therapeutic hypothermia in patients with drowning-associated asphyxial out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and to explore any preliminary favorable factors in the management of therapeutic hypothermia to improve survival and neurological outcome. Drowning may result in asphyxial OHCA or hypothermic OHCA, but the former does not provide any potential neuroprotective effect as the latter may do. Electronic literature searches of Ovid Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were performed for all years from inception to July 2016. Primary studies in the form of case reports, letters to the editor, and others with higher quality are included, but guidelines, reviews, editorials, textbook chapters, conference abstracts, and nonhuman studies are excluded. Non-English articles are excluded. Relevant studies are then deemed eligible if the drowning OHCA patient's initial temperature was above 28°C, which implies asphyxial cardiac arrest, and intentional therapeutic hypothermia was instituted. Because of the narrow scope of interest and strict definition of the condition, limited studies addressed it, and no randomized controlled trials (RCT) could be selected. Thirteen studies covering 35 patients are included. No quantitative synthesis, assessment of study quality, or assessment of bias was performed. It is conjectured that extended therapeutic hypothermia of 48-72 hours might help prevent reperfusion injury during the intermediate phase of postcardiac arrest care to benefit patients of drowning-associated asphyxial OHCA, but this finding only serves as preliminary observation for future research. No conclusive recommendation could be made regarding the duration of and the time of onset of therapeutic hypothermia. Future research should put effort on RCT, particularly the effect of extended duration of 48-72 hours. Important parameters should be reported in detail. Asphyxial and hypothermic OHCA should be differentiated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The determination of coma patient prognosis after cardiac arrest has clinical, ethical and social implications. Neurological examination, imaging and biochemical markers are helpful tools accepted as reliable in predicting recovery. With the advent of therapeutic hypothermia, these data need to be reconfirmed. In this study, we attempted to determine the validity of different markers, which can be used in the detection of patients with poor prognosis under hypothermia. METHODS Data from adult patients admitted to our intensive care unit for a hypothermia protocol after cardiac arrest were recorded prospectively to generate a descriptive and analytical study analyzing the relationship between clinical, neurophysiological, imaging and biochemical parameters with 6-month outcomes defined according to the Cerebral Performance Categories scale (good 1-2, poor 3-5). Neuron-specific enolase was collected at 72 hours. Imaging and neurophysiologic exams were carried out in the 24 hours after the rewarming period. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients were included in the study, of which 12 had good neurological outcomes. Ventricular fibrillation and electroencephalographic theta activity were associated with increased likelihood of survival and improved neurological outcomes. Patients who had more rapid cooling (mean time of 163 versus 312 minutes), hypoxic-ischemic brain injury on magnetic resonance imaging or neuron-specific enolase > 58ng/mL had poor neurological outcomes (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury on magnetic resonance imaging and neuron-specific enolase were strong predictors of poor neurological outcomes. Although there is the belief that early achievement of target temperature improves neurological prognoses, in our study, there were increased mortality and worse neurological outcomes with earlier target-temperature achievement.

Abstract
Outcome for patients experiencing out-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to respiratory causes is poor, even with treatment by therapeutic hypothermia (TH). The purpose of this study is to clarify difference in outcome and respiratory state during resuscitation between cases due to respiratory causes versus those due to cardiac causes, to establish alternative strategies for the patient. This study was conducted as a retrospective analysis of patients with post CA syndrome who underwent TH. Patients were divided into two groups according to cause of CA: cardiac (C group) or respiratory (R group). Utstein Style data, outcome, and arterial blood gas (ABG) findings after emergency room admission of the two groups were compared. Of 74 patients treated with TH during the 2-year study period, 49 were placed in the C group and 19 in the R group. The rates of ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia at initial rhythm were significantly higher in the C group than in the R group. The rate of favorable neurological outcome was significantly higher in the C group (15/49: 30.6%) than in the R group (1/19: 5.3%) 30 days after resuscitation. In the ABG findings, PaCO2 was significantly higher in the R group than in the C group. For patients experiencing OHCA from respiratory causes, TH was less effective and PaCO2 accumulated immediately after admission. From this, interpretation of the significance of PaCO2 in these patients at the early stage after return of spontaneous circulation should be seriously considered.

Abstract
The Wilderness Medical Society convened a panel to review available evidence supporting practices for the prevention and acute management of drowning in out-of-hospital and emergency medical care settings. Literature about definition and terminology, epidemiology, rescue, resuscitation, acute clinical management, disposition, and drowning prevention was reviewed. The panel graded evidence supporting practices according to the American College of Chest Physicians criteria, then made recommendations based on that evidence. Recommendations were based on the panel's collective clinical experience and judgment when published evidence was lacking.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Prediction of neurological prognosis in patients who are comatose after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest remains difficult. Previous guidelines recommended ocular reflexes, somatosensory evoked potentials and serum biomarkers for predicting poor outcome within 72 h from cardiac arrest. However, these guidelines were based on patients not treated with targeted temperature management and did not appropriately address important biases in literature. RECENT FINDINGS Recent evidence reviews detected important limitations in prognostication studies, such as low precision and, most importantly, lack of blinding, which may have caused a self-fulfilling prophecy and overestimated the specificity of index tests. Maintenance of targeted temperature using sedatives and muscle relaxants may interfere with clinical examination, making assessment of neurological status before 72 h or more after cardiac arrest unreliable. SUMMARY No index predicts poor neurological outcome after cardiac arrest with absolute certainty. Prognostic evaluation should start not earlier than 72 h after ROSC and only after major confounders have been excluded so that reliable clinical examination can be made. Multimodality appears to be the most reasonable approach for prognostication after cardiac arrest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize the prevalence of withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, as well as the time to awakening, short-term neurologic outcomes, and cause of death in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital resuscitated cardiopulmonary arrests treated with therapeutic hypothermia. DESIGN Single center, prospective observational cohort study of consecutive patients with out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrests. SETTING Academic tertiary care hospital and level one trauma center in Minneapolis, MN. PATIENTS Adults with witnessed, nontraumatic, out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrests regardless of initial electrocardiographic rhythm with return of spontaneous circulation who were admitted to an ICU. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The study cohort included 154 comatose survivors of witnessed out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrests who were admitted to an ICU during the 54-month study period. One hundred eighteen patients (77%) were treated with therapeutic hypothermia. The mean age was 59 years, 104 (68%) were men, and 83 (54%) had an initial rhythm of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Only eight of all 78 patients (10%) who died qualified as brain dead; and 81% of all patients (63 of 78) who died did so after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment. Twenty of 56 comatose survivors (32%) treated with hypothermia who awoke (as defined by Glasgow Motor Score of 6) and had good neurologic outcomes (defined as Cerebral Performance Category 1-2) did so after 72 hours. CONCLUSIONS Our study supports delaying prognostication and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment to beyond 72 hours in cases treated with therapeutic hypothermia. Larger multicenter prospective studies are needed to better define the most appropriate time frame for prognostication in comatose cardiac arrest survivors treated with therapeutic hypothermia. These data are also consistent with the notion that a majority of out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest survivors die after a decision to withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment and that very few of these survivors progress to brain death.

Abstract
Objectives To review and update the evidence on predictors of poor outcome (death, persistent vegetative state or severe neurological disability) in adult comatose survivors of cardiac arrest, either treated or not treated with controlled temperature, to identify knowledge gaps and to suggest a reliable prognostication strategy. Methods GRADE-based systematic review followed by expert consensus achieved using Web-based Delphi methodology, conference calls and face-to-face meetings. Predictors based on clinical examination, electrophysiology, biomarkers and imaging were included. Results and conclusions Evidence from a total of 73 studies was reviewed. The quality of evidence was low or very low for almost all studies. In patients who are comatose with absent or extensor motor response at ≥72 h from arrest, either treated or not treated with controlled temperature, bilateral absence of either pupillary and corneal reflexes or N20 wave of short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials were identified as the most robust predictors. Early status myoclonus, elevated values of neuron-specific enolase at 48–72 h from arrest, unreactive malignant EEG patterns after rewarming, and presence of diffuse signs of postanoxic injury on either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging were identified as useful but less robust predictors. Prolonged observation and repeated assessments should be considered when results of initial assessment are inconclusive. Although no specific combination of predictors is sufficiently supported by available evidence, a multimodal prognostication approach is recommended in all patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is in clinical use, its efficacy in certain patient groups is unclear. This study was designed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac-arrest (OHCA) caused by asphyxia, who were treated with TH. PATIENTS AND METHODS A multicentre, retrospective, registry-based study was performed using data from the period 2007-2012. Comatose patients who were treated with TH after asphyxial cardiac arrest were included, while those who with cardiac arrest attributed to hanging, drowning or gas intoxication were excluded. RESULTS Of a total of 932 OHCA patients in the registry, 111 were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 65.8±16.3 years with individuals who were ≥65 years of age accounted for 61.3% of the cohort. Foreign-body airway obstruction was the most common cause (70.3%) of the cardiac arrest. Eighty patients (72.1%) presented with an initial non-shockable rhythm. In all institutions target TH temperatures were 32-34°C, but TH maintenance times varied. A total of 52 patients (46.8%) survived, of whom six patients (5.4%) showed a good neurologic outcome (cerebral performance category scale 1-2). The pupil light reflex, corneal reflex and time to return of spontaneous circulation (p=0.012, 0.015 and 0.032, respectively) were associated with survival. Witnessed arrest, age, previous lung disease, bystander basic life support and time factors were not associated with survival. CONCLUSION About half of patients who underwent TH after asphyxial cardiac arrest survived, but a very small number showed a good neurologic outcome. The TH maintenance times were not uniform in these patients. Additional research regarding both the appropriate TH guidelines for patients with asphyxial cardiac arrest and improvement of their neurologic outcome is needed.

Abstract
Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death. Survivors may sustain severe neurologic morbidity. There is negligible research specific to brain injury in drowning making current clinical management non-specific to this disorder. This review represents an evidence-based consensus effort to provide recommendations for management and investigation of the drowning victim. Epidemiology, brain-oriented prehospital and intensive care, therapeutic hypothermia, neuroimaging/monitoring, biomarkers, and neuroresuscitative pharmacology are addressed. When cardiac arrest is present, chest compressions with rescue breathing are recommended due to the asphyxial insult. In the comatose patient with restoration of spontaneous circulation, hypoxemia and hyperoxemia should be avoided, hyperthermia treated, and induced hypothermia (32-34 °C) considered. Arterial hypotension/hypertension should be recognized and treated. Prevent hypoglycemia and treat hyperglycemia. Treat clinical seizures and consider treating non-convulsive status epilepticus. Serial neurologic examinations should be provided. Brain imaging and serial biomarker measurement may aid prognostication. Continuous electroencephalography and N20 somatosensory evoked potential monitoring may be considered. Serial biomarker measurement (e.g., neuron specific enolase) may aid prognostication. There is insufficient evidence to recommend use of any specific brain-oriented neuroresuscitative pharmacologic therapy other than that required to restore and maintain normal physiology. Following initial stabilization, victims should be transferred to centers with expertise in age-specific post-resuscitation neurocritical care. Care should be documented, reviewed, and quality improvement assessment performed. Preclinical research should focus on models of asphyxial cardiac arrest. Clinical research should focus on improved cardiopulmonary resuscitation, re-oxygenation/reperfusion strategies, therapeutic hypothermia, neuroprotection, neurorehabilitation, and consideration of drowning in advances made in treatment of other central nervous system disorders.
