Abstract
BACKGROUND Noradrenaline is a standard treatment for hypotension in acute care. The precise effects of noradrenaline on cerebral blood flow in health and disease remain unclear. METHODS We systematically reviewed and synthesised data from studies examining changes in cerebral blood flow in healthy participants and patients with traumatic brain injury and critical illness. RESULTS Twenty-eight eligible studies were included. In healthy subjects and patients without critical illness or traumatic brain injury, noradrenaline did not significantly change cerebral blood flow velocity (-1.7%, 95%CI -4.7-1.3%) despite a 24.1% (95%CI 19.4-28.7%) increase in mean arterial pressure. In patients with traumatic brain injury, noradrenaline significantly increased cerebral blood flow velocity (21.5%, 95%CI 11.0-32.0%), along with a 33.8% (95%CI 14.7-52.9%) increase in mean arterial pressure. In patients who were critically ill, noradrenaline significantly increased cerebral blood flow velocity (20.0%, 95%CI 9.7-30.3%), along with a 32.4% (95%CI 25.0-39.9%) increase in mean arterial pressure. Our analyses suggest intact cerebral autoregulation in healthy subjects and patients without critical illness or traumatic brain injury., and impaired cerebral autoregulation in patients with traumatic brain injury and who were critically ill. The extent of mean arterial pressure changes and the pre-treatment blood pressure levels may affect the magnitude of cerebral blood flow changes. Studies assessing cerebral blood flow using non-transcranial Doppler methods were inadequate and heterogeneous in enabling meaningful meta-analysis. CONCLUSIONS Noradrenaline significantly increases cerebral blood flow in humans with impaired, not intact, cerebral autoregulation, with the extent of changes related to the severity of functional impairment, the extent of mean arterial pressure changes and pre-treatment blood pressure levels.

The link between carotid artery stenosis and outcomes in patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2024; 201:110289. [PMID: 38908776 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2024.110289] [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: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mortality of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has revolutionized OHCA treatment, but our understanding of the ECPR responder's clinical profile is incomplete. Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a well-established cardiovascular disease risk factor. The impact of CAS on OHCA outcomes remains unelucidated. OBJECTIVE To assess whether CAS burden affects the outcomes of OHCA patients treated with ECPR. METHODS This study included patients with OHCA admitted for ECPR consideration, who had carotid ultrasonography performed. A numeric scale was applied to the plaque to create a CAS burden numeric scale. The primary outcome of the study was survival at discharge, compared among the different degrees of CAS. Neurologically intact survival and surrogate markers of neurologic injury were the secondary study endpoints. To assess the independent effect of CAS burden on survival to hospital discharge, we conducted a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Between 2019 and 2023, carotid ultrasonography was performed on 163 patients who were admitted for refractory OHCA. CAS burden was equally distributed between the right and left carotid arteries. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the CAS burden was significantly associated with both overall and neurologically intact survival at discharge (p = 0.004). A linear relationship between the CAS burden and neuron-specific and S-100 levels was identified. Patients with normal carotids were significantly less likely to have encephalopathy on electroencephalograms. CONCLUSION CAS burden independently predicts the risk for worse survival and neurologic outcomes in patients suffering refractory OHCA who are treated with ECPR.

Continuous Monitoring of Cerebral Autoregulation in Adults Supported by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. Neurocrit Care 2024; 41:185-193. [PMID: 38326536 PMCID: PMC11303590 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-023-01932-w] [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: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired cerebral autoregulation (CA) is one of several proposed mechanisms of acute brain injury in patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The primary aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of continuous CA monitoring in adult ECMO patients. Our secondary aims were to describe changes in cerebral oximetry index (COx) and other metrics of CA over time and in relation to functional neurologic outcomes. METHODS This is a single-center prospective observational study. We measured COx, a surrogate measurement of cerebral blood flow measured by near-infrared spectroscopy, which is an index of CA derived from the moving correlation between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and slow waves of regional cerebral oxygen saturation. A COx value that approaches 1 indicates impaired CA. Using COx, we determined the optimal MAP (MAPOPT) and lower and upper limits of autoregulation for individual patients. These measurements were examined in relation to modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores. RESULTS Fifteen patients (median age 57 years [interquartile range 47-69]) with 150 autoregulation measurements were included for analysis. Eleven were on veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO), and four were on veno-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO). Mean COx was higher on postcannulation day 1 than on day 2 (0.2 vs. 0.09, p < 0.01), indicating improved CA over time. COx was higher in VA-ECMO patients than in VV-ECMO patients (0.12 vs. 0.06, p = 0.04). Median MAPOPT for the entire cohort was highly variable, ranging from 55 to 110 mm Hg. Patients with mRS scores 0-3 (good outcome) at 3 and 6 months spent less time outside MAPOPT compared with patients with mRS scores 4-6 (poor outcome) (74% vs. 82%, p = 0.01). The percentage of time when observed MAP was outside the limits of autoregulation was higher on postcannulation day 1 than on day 2 (18.2% vs. 3.3%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In ECMO patients, it is feasible to monitor CA continuously at the bedside. CA improved over time, most significantly between postcannulation days 1 and 2. CA was more impaired in VA-ECMO patients than in VV-ECMO patients. Spending less time outside MAPOPT may be associated with achieving a good neurologic outcome.

Resuscitation 2024; 200:110216.

Abstract
AIM CT perfusion is a valuable tool for evaluating cerebrovascular diseases, but its role in patients with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy is unclear. This study aimed to investigate 1) the patterns of cerebral perfusion changes that may occur early on after successful resuscitation, and 2) their correlation with clinical outcome to explore their value for predicting outcome. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of perfusion maps from patients who underwent CT brain perfusion within 12 h following successful resuscitation. We classified the perfusion changes into distinct patterns. According to the cerebral performance category (CPC) score clinical outcome was categorised as favourable (CPC 1-2), or unfavourable (CPC 3-5). RESULTS A total of 87 patients were included of whom 33 had a favourable outcome (60.6% male, mean age 60 ± 16 years), whereas 54 exhibited an unfavourable outcome (59.3% male, mean age 60 ± 19 years). Of the patients in the favourable outcome group, 30.3% showed no characteristic perfusion changes, in contrast to the unfavourable outcome group where all patients exhibit changes in perfusion. Eighteen perfusion patterns were identified. The most significant patterns for prediction of unfavourable outcome in terms of their high specificity and frequency were hypoperfusion of the brainstem as well as coexisting hypoperfusion of the brainstem and thalamus. CONCLUSION This pilot study identified various perfusion patterns in patients after resuscitation, indicative of circulatory changes associated with post-cardiac-arrest brain injury. After validation, certain patterns could potentially be used in conjunction with other prognostic markers for stratifying patients and adjusting personalized treatment following cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Normal brain perfusion within 12 h after resuscitation is predictive of favourable outcome with high specificity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article outlines interventions used to improve outcomes for patients with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury after cardiac arrest. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS Emergent management of patients after cardiac arrest requires prevention and treatment of primary and secondary brain injury. Primary brain injury is minimized by excellent initial resuscitative efforts. Secondary brain injury prevention requires the detection and correction of many pathophysiologic processes that may develop in the hours to days after the initial arrest. Key physiologic parameters important to secondary brain injury prevention include optimization of mean arterial pressure, cerebral perfusion, oxygenation and ventilation, intracranial pressure, temperature, and cortical hyperexcitability. This article outlines recent data regarding the treatment and prevention of secondary brain injury. Different patients likely benefit from different treatment strategies, so an individualized approach to treatment and prevention of secondary brain injury is advisable. Clinicians must use multimodal sources of data to prognosticate outcomes after cardiac arrest while recognizing that all prognostic tools have shortcomings. ESSENTIAL POINTS Neurologists should be involved in the postarrest care of patients with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury to improve their outcomes. Postarrest care requires nuanced and patient-centered approaches to the prevention and treatment of primary and secondary brain injury and neuroprognostication.

Cerebral perfusion and metabolism with mild hypercapnia vs. normocapnia in a porcine post cardiac arrest model with and without targeted temperature management. Resusc Plus 2024; 18:100604.

Abstract
Aim To determine whether targeting mild hypercapnia (PaCO2 7 kPa) would yield improved cerebral blood flow and metabolism compared to normocapnia (PaCO2 5 kPa) with and without targeted temperature management to 33 °C (TTM33) in a porcine post-cardiac arrest model. Methods 39 pigs were resuscitated after 10 minutes of cardiac arrest using cardiopulmonary bypass and randomised to TTM33 or no-TTM, and hypercapnia or normocapnia. TTM33 was managed with intravasal cooling. Animals were stabilized for 30 minutes followed by a two-hour intervention period. Hemodynamic parameters were measured continuously, and neuromonitoring included intracranial pressure (ICP), pressure reactivity index, cerebral blood flow, brain-tissue pCO2 and microdialysis. Measurements are reported as proportion of baseline, and areas under the curve during the 120 min intervention period were compared. Results Hypercapnia increased cerebral flow in both TTM33 and no-TTM groups, but also increased ICP (199% vs. 183% of baseline, p = 0.018) and reduced cerebral perfusion pressure (70% vs. 84% of baseline, p < 0.001) in no-TTM animals. Cerebral lactate (196% vs. 297% of baseline, p < 0.001), pyruvate (118% vs. 152% of baseline, p < 0.001), glycerol and lactate/pyruvate ratios were lower with hypercapnia in the TTM33 group, but only pyruvate (133% vs. 150% of baseline, p = 0.002) was lower with hypercapnia among no-TTM animals. Conclusion In this porcine post-arrest model, hypercapnia led to increased cerebral flow both with and without hypothermia, but also increased ICP and reduced cerebral perfusion pressure in no-TTM animals. The effects of hypercapnia were different with and without TTM.(Institutional protocol number: FOTS, id 14931).

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the effect of targeting higher or lower blood pressure during postresucitation intensive care among comatose patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with a history of heart failure. METHODS The BOX trial (Blood Pressure and Oxygenation Targets After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest) was a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, multicenter study comparing titration of vasopressors toward a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 63 versus 77 mm Hg during postresuscitation intensive care. Patients with a history of heart failure were included in this substudy. Pulmonary artery catheters were inserted shortly after admission. History of heart failure was assessed through chart review of all included patients. The primary outcome was cardiac index during the first 72 hours. Secondary outcomes were left ventricular ejection fraction, heart rate, stroke volume, renal replacement therapy and all-cause mortality at 365 days. RESULTS A total of 134 patients (17% of the BOX cohort) had a history of heart failure (patients with left ventricular ejection fraction, ≤40%: 103 [77%]) of which 71 (53%) were allocated to a MAP of 77 mm Hg. Cardiac index at intensive care unit arrival was 1.77±0.11 L/min·m-2 in the MAP63-group and 1.78±0.17 L/min·m-2 in the MAP77, P=0.92. During the next 72 hours, the mean difference was 0.15 (95% CI, -0.04 to 0.35) L/min·m-2; Pgroup=0.22. Left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume was similar between the groups. Patients allocated to MAP77 had significantly elevated heart rate (mean difference 6 [1-12] beats/min, Pgroup=0.03). Vasopressor usage was also significantly increased (P=0.006). At 365 days, 69 (51%) of the patients had died. The adjusted hazard ratio for 365 day mortality was 1.38 (0.84-2.27), P=0.20 and adjusted odds ratio for renal replacement therapy was 2.73 (0.84-8.89; P=0.09). CONCLUSIONS In resuscitated patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with a history of heart failure, allocation to a higher blood pressure target resulted in significantly increased heart rate in the higher blood pressure-target group. However, no certain differences was found for cardiac index, left ventricular ejection fraction or stroke volume. REGISTRATION URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03141099.

Survival, but not the severity of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, is associated with higher mean arterial blood pressure after cardiac arrest: a retrospective cohort study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1337344. [PMID: 38774664 PMCID: PMC11106407 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1337344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This study investigates the association between the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), vasopressor requirement, and severity of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after cardiac arrest (CA). Methods Between 2008 and 2017, we retrospectively analyzed the MAP 200 h after CA and quantified the vasopressor requirements using the cumulative vasopressor index (CVI). Through a postmortem brain autopsy in non-survivors, the severity of the HIE was histopathologically dichotomized into no/mild and severe HIE. In survivors, we dichotomized the severity of HIE into no/mild cerebral performance category (CPC) 1 and severe HIE (CPC 4). We investigated the regain of consciousness, causes of death, and 5-day survival as hemodynamic confounders. Results Among the 350 non-survivors, 117 had histopathologically severe HIE while 233 had no/mild HIE, without differences observed in the MAP (73.1 vs. 72.0 mmHg, pgroup = 0.639). Compared to the non-survivors, 211 patients with CPC 1 and 57 patients with CPC 4 had higher MAP values that showed significant, but clinically non-relevant, MAP differences (81.2 vs. 82.3 mmHg, pgroup < 0.001). The no/mild HIE non-survivors (n = 54), who regained consciousness before death, had higher MAP values compared to those with no/mild HIE (n = 179), who remained persistently comatose (74.7 vs. 69.3 mmHg, pgroup < 0.001). The no/mild HIE non-survivors, who regained consciousness, required fewer vasopressors (CVI 2.1 vs. 3.6, pgroup < 0.001). Independent of the severity of HIE, the survivors were weaned faster from vasopressors (CVI 1.0). Conclusions Although a higher MAP was associated with survival in CA patients treated with a vasopressor-supported MAP target above 65 mmHg, the severity of HIE was not. Awakening from coma was associated with less vasopressor requirements. Our results provide no evidence for a MAP target above the current guideline recommendations that can decrease the severity of HIE.

Abstract
The post-resuscitation period is recognized as the main predictor of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) outcomes. The first description of post-resuscitation syndrome and stony heart was published over 50 years ago. Major manifestations may include but are not limited to, persistent precipitating pathology, systemic ischemia/reperfusion response, post-cardiac arrest brain injury, and finally, post-cardiac arrest myocardial dysfunction (PAMD) after successful resuscitation. Why do some patients initially survive successful resuscitation, and others do not? Also, why does the myocardium response vary after resuscitation? These questions have kept scientists busy for several decades since the first successful resuscitation was described. By modifying the conventional modalities of resuscitation together with new promising agents, rescuers will be able to salvage the jeopardized post-resuscitation myocardium and prevent its progression to a dismal, stony heart. Community awareness and staff education are crucial for shortening the resuscitation time and improving short- and long-term outcomes. Awareness of these components before and early after the restoration of circulation will enhance the resuscitation outcomes. This review extensively addresses the underlying pathophysiology, management, and outcomes of post-resuscitation syndrome. The pattern, management, and outcome of PAMD and post-cardiac arrest shock are different based on many factors, including in-hospital cardiac arrest vs out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), witnessed vs unwitnessed cardiac arrest, the underlying cause of arrest, the duration, and protocol used for CPR. Although restoring spontaneous circulation is a vital sign, it should not be the end of the game or lone primary outcome; it calls for better understanding and aggressive multi-disciplinary interventions and care. The development of stony heart post-CPR and OHCA remain the main challenges in emergency and critical care medicine.

Abstract
Circadian and diurnal variation in cerebral blood flow directly contributes to the diurnal variation in the risk of stroke, either through factors that trigger stroke or due to impaired compensatory mechanisms. Cerebral blood flow results from the integration of systemic hemodynamics, including heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure, with cerebrovascular regulatory mechanisms, including cerebrovascular reactivity, autoregulation, and neurovascular coupling. We review the evidence for the circadian and diurnal variation in each of these mechanisms and their integration, from the detailed evidence for mechanisms underlying the nocturnal nadir and morning surge in blood pressure to identifying limited available evidence for circadian and diurnal variation in cerebrovascular compensatory mechanisms. We, thus, identify key systemic hemodynamic factors related to the diurnal variation in the risk of stroke but particularly identify the need for further research focused on cerebrovascular regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract
The critical care management of patients after cardiac arrest is burdened by a lack of high-quality clinical studies and the resultant lack of high-certainty evidence. This results in limited practice guideline recommendations, which may lead to uncertainty and variability in management. Critical care management is crucial in patients after cardiac arrest and affects outcome. Although guidelines address some relevant topics (including temperature control and neurological prognostication of comatose survivors, 2 topics for which there are more robust clinical studies), many important subject areas have limited or nonexistent clinical studies, leading to the absence of guidelines or low-certainty evidence. The American Heart Association Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee and the Neurocritical Care Society collaborated to address this gap by organizing an expert consensus panel and conference. Twenty-four experienced practitioners (including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and a respiratory therapist) from multiple medical specialties, levels, institutions, and countries made up the panel. Topics were identified and prioritized by the panel and arranged by organ system to facilitate discussion, debate, and consensus building. Statements related to postarrest management were generated, and 80% agreement was required to approve a statement. Voting was anonymous and web based. Topics addressed include neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, hematological, infectious, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and general critical care management. Areas of uncertainty, areas for which no consensus was reached, and future research directions are also included. Until high-quality studies that inform practice guidelines in these areas are available, the expert panel consensus statements that are provided can advise clinicians on the critical care management of patients after cardiac arrest.

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiac arrests constitute a leading cause of mortality in the adult population and cardiologists are often tasked with the management of patients following cardiac arrest either as a consultant or primary provider in the cardiac intensive care unit. Familiarity with evidence-based practice for post-cardiac arrest care is a requisite for optimizing outcomes in this highly morbid group. This review will highlight important concepts necessary to managing these patients. RECENT FINDINGS Emerging evidence has further elucidated optimal care of post-arrest patients including timing for routine coronary angiography, utility of therapeutic hypothermia, permissive hypercapnia, and empiric aspiration pneumonia treatment. The complicated state of multi-organ failure following cardiac arrest needs to be carefully optimized by the clinician to prevent further neurologic injury and promote systemic recovery. Future studies should be aimed at understanding if these findings extend to specific patient populations, especially those at the highest risk for poor outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant long-term neurologic disability occurs in survivors of pediatric cardiac arrest, primarily due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Postresuscitation care focuses on preventing secondary injury and the pathophysiologic cascade that leads to neuronal cell death. These injury processes include reperfusion injury, perturbations in cerebral blood flow, disturbed oxygen metabolism, impaired autoregulation, cerebral edema, and hyperthermia. Postresuscitation care also focuses on early injury stratification to allow clinicians to identify patients who could benefit from neuroprotective interventions in clinical trials and enable targeted therapeutics. METHODS In this review, we provide an overview of postcardiac arrest pathophysiology, explore the role of neuromonitoring in understanding postcardiac arrest cerebral physiology, and summarize the evidence supporting the use of neuromonitoring devices to guide pediatric postcardiac arrest care. We provide an in-depth review of the neuromonitoring modalities that measure cerebral perfusion, oxygenation, and function, as well as neuroimaging, serum biomarkers, and the implications of targeted temperature management. RESULTS For each modality, we provide an in-depth review of its impact on treatment, its ability to stratify hypoxic-ischemic brain injury severity, and its role in neuroprognostication. CONCLUSION Potential therapeutic targets and future directions are discussed, with the hope that multimodality monitoring can shift postarrest care from a one-size-fits-all model to an individualized model that uses cerebrovascular physiology to reduce secondary brain injury, increase accuracy of neuroprognostication, and improve outcomes.

Abstract
Aim We aimed to investigate the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate and prognosis in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients and explore the heterogeneity of the association. Methods Patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to medical causes and registered in the JAAM-OHCA Registry between June 2014 and December 2019 were stratified into shockable rhythm, pulseless electrical activity, and asystole groups according to the cardiac rhythm at the scene. The primary outcome was a 1-month favorable neurological status. Adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to investigate the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate and outcomes using a logistic model. Results Of the 19,443 patients included, 2769 had initial shockable rhythm at the scene, 5339 had pulseless electrical activity, and 11,335 had asystole. As the estimated glomerular filtration rate decreased, the adjusted odds ratio for a 1-month favorable neurological status decreased among those with initial shockable rhythm (estimated glomerular filtration rate, adjusted odds ratio [95% CI]: 45-59 mL/min/1.73 m2, 0.61 [0.47-0.79]; 30-44 mL/min/1.73 m2, 0.45 [0.32-0.62]; 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2, 0.35 [0.20-0.63]; and <15 mL/min/1.73 m2, 0.14 [0.07-0.27]). Estimated glomerular filtration rate was associated with neurological outcomes in patients aged <65 years with initial shockable rhythm but not in those aged >65 years or patients with initial pulseless electrical activity or asystole. Conclusion The estimated glomerular filtration rate is associated with neurological prognosis in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with initial shockable rhythm at the scene but not in those with initial non-shockable rhythm.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, although contemporary care now enables potential survival with good neurologic outcome. The core acute management goals for survivors of cardiac arrest are to provide organ support, sustain adequate hemodynamics, and evaluate the underlying cause of the cardiac arrest. In this article, the authors review the current state of knowledge and clinical intensive care unit practice recommendations for patients after cardiac arrest, particularly focusing on important areas of uncertainty, such as targeted temperature management, neuroprognostication, coronary evaluation, and hemodynamic targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to investigate the advanced hemodynamic effects of the two MAP-targets during intensive care on systemic hemodynamics in comatose patients after cardiac arrest. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial. SETTING Primary vasopressor used was per protocol norepinephrine. Hemodynamic monitoring was done with pulmonary artery catheters (PAC) and measurements were made on predefined time points. The primary endpoint of this substudy was the difference in cardiac index within 48 h from a repeated measurements-mixed model. Secondary endpoints included systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), heart rate, and stroke volume index. PATIENTS Comatose survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS The "Blood pressure and oxygenations targets after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (BOX)"-trial was a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, multicenter-study comparing targeted mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 63 mmHg (MAP63) vs 77 mmHg (MAP77). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Among 789 randomized patients, 730 (93%) patients were included in the hemodynamic substudy. From PAC-insertion (median 1 hours after ICU-admission) and the next 48 hours, the MAP77-group received significantly higher doses of norepinephrine (mean difference 0.09 µg/kg/min, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.07-0.11, pgroup < 0.0001). Cardiac index was significantly increased (0.20 L/min/m2 (CI 0.12-0.28), pgroup < 0.0001) as was SVRI with an overall difference of (43 dynes m2/s/cm5 (CI 7-79); pgroup = 0.02). Heart rate was increased in the MAP77-group (4 beats/minute; CI 2-6, pgroup < 0.003), but stroke volume index was not (pgroup = 0.10). CONCLUSIONS Targeted MAP at 77 mmHg compared to 63 mmHg resulted in a higher dose of norepinephrine, increased cardiac index and SVRI. Heart rate was also increased, but stroke volume index was not affected by a higher blood pressure target.

Abstract
Background We investigated the predictors of poor neurological outcomes in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) patients using machine learning (ML) approaches. Methods This study was a retrospective, single-center, observational study that included adult patients who underwent ECPR while hospitalized between January 2010 and December 2020. The primary outcome was neurologic status at hospital discharge as assessed by the Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) score (scores range from 1 to 5). We trained and tested eight ML algorithms for a binary classification task involving the neurological outcomes of survivors after ECPR. Results During the study period, 330 patients were finally enrolled in this analysis; 143 (43.3%) had favorable neurological outcomes (CPC score 1 and 2) but 187 (56.7%) did not. From the eight ML algorithms initially considered, we refined our analysis to focus on the three algorithms, eXtreme Gradient Boosting, random forest, and Stochastic Gradient Boosting, that exhibited the highest accuracy. eXtreme Gradient Boosting models exhibited the highest accuracy among all the machine learning algorithms (accuracy: 0.739, area under the curve: 0.837, Kappa: 0.450, sensitivity: 0.700, specificity: 0.740). Across all three ML models, mean blood pressure emerged as the most influential variable, followed by initial serum lactate, and arrest to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) pump-on-time as important predictors in machine learning models for poor neurological outcomes following successful ECPR. Conclusions In conclusion, machine learning methods showcased outstanding predictive accuracy for poor neurological outcomes in patients who underwent ECPR.

Abstract
This prospective observational single-center cohort study aimed to determine an association between cerebrovascular autoregulation (CVAR) and outcomes in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury post-cardiac arrest (CA), and assessed 100 consecutive post-CA patients in Japan between June 2017 and May 2020 who experienced a return of spontaneous circulation. Continuous monitoring was performed for 96 h to determine CVAR presence. A moving Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated from the mean arterial pressure and cerebral regional oxygen saturation. The association between CVAR and outcomes was evaluated using the Cox proportional hazard model; non-CVAR time percent was the time-dependent, age-adjusted covariate. The non-linear effect of target temperature management (TTM) was assessed using a restricted cubic spline. Of the 100 participants, CVAR was detected using the cerebral performance category (CPC) in all patients with a good neurological outcome (CPC 1-2) and in 65 patients (88%) with a poor outcome (CPC 3-5). Survival probability decreased significantly with increasing non-CVAR time percent. The TTM versus the non-TTM group had a significantly lower probability of a poor neurological outcome at 6 months with a non-CVAR time of 18%-37% (p < 0.05). Longer non-CVAR time may be associated with significantly increased mortality in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury post-CA.

Abstract
AIM To assess the association with outcomes of cardiac index (CI) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) in comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS In the cohort study of 789 patients included in the "BOX"-trial, 565 (77%) patients were included in this hemodynamic substudy (age 62 ± 13 years, male sex 81%). Pulmonary artery catheters were inserted shortly after ICU admission. CI and SvO2 were measured as soon as possible in the ICU and until awakening or death. The endpoints were all-cause mortality at 1 year and renal failure defined as need for renal replacement therapy. RESULTS First measured CI was median 1.7 (1.4-2.1) l/min/m2, and first measured SvO2 was median 67 (61-73) %. CI < median with SvO2 > median was present in 222 (39%), and low SvO2 with CI < median was present in 59 (11%). Spline analysis indicated that SvO2 value < 55% was associated with poor outcome. Low CI at admission was not significantly associated with mortality in multivariable analysis (p = 0.14). SvO2 was significantly inversely associated with mortality (hazard ratioadjusted: 0.91 (0.84-0.98) per 5% increase in SvO2, p = 0.01). SvO2 was significantly inversely associated with renal failure after adjusting for confounders (ORadjusted: 0.73 [0.62-0.86] per 5% increase in SvO2, p = 0.001). The combination of lower CI and lower SvO2 was associated with higher risk of mortality (hazard ratioadjusted: 1.54 (1.06-2.23) and renal failure (ORadjusted: 5.87 [2.34-14.73]. CONCLUSION First measured SvO2 after resuscitation from OHCA was inversely associated with mortality and renal failure. If SvO2 and CI were below median, the risk of poor outcomes increased significantly. REGISTRATION The BOX-trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03141099, date 2017-30-04, retrospectively registered).

Abstract
Background Impaired cerebral autoregulation (CA) is one of several proposed mechanisms of acute brain injury in patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The primary aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of continuous CA monitoring in adult ECMO patients. Our secondary aims were to describe changes in cerebral oximetry index (COx) and other metrics of CA over time and in relation to functional neurologic outcomes. Methods This is a single-center prospective observational study. We measured Cox, a surrogate measurement of cerebral blood flow, measured by near-infrared spectroscopy, which is an index of CA derived from the moving correlation between mean arterial pressure and slow waves of regional cerebral oxygen saturation. A COx value that approaches 1 indicates impaired CA. Using COx, we determined the optimal MAP (MAPOPT), lower and upper limits of autoregulation for individual patients. These measurements were examined in relation to modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores. Results Fifteen patients (median age=57 years [IQR=47-69]) with 150 autoregulation measurements were included for analysis. Eleven were on veno-arterial ECMO and 4 on veno-venous. Mean COx was higher on post-cannulation day 1 than on day 2 (0.2 vs 0.09, p<0.01), indicating improved CA over time. COx was higher in VA-ECMO patients than in VV-ECMO (0.12 vs 0.06, p=0.04). Median MAPOPT for entire cohort was highly variable, ranging 55-110 mmHg. Patients with mRS 0-3 (good outcome) at 3 and 6 months spent less time outside of MAPOPT compared to patients with mRS 4-6 (poor outcome) (74% vs 82%, p=0.01). The percentage of time when observed MAP was outside the limits of autoregulation was higher on post-cannulation day 1 than on day 2 (18.2% vs 3.3%, p<0.01). Conclusions In ECMO patients, it is feasible to monitor CA continuously at the bedside. CA improved over time, most significantly between post-cannulation days 1 and 2. CA was more impaired in VA-ECMO than VV-ECMO. Spending less time outside of MAPOPT may be associated with achieving a good neurologic outcome.

Abstract
Survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) experience significant mortality rates and neurological impairment, potentially attributed to the hypoxic-ischemic injury sustained amid the cardiac arrest episode. Post-resuscitation care plays a crucial role in determining outcomes for survivors of OHCA. Supportive therapies have proven to be influential in shaping these outcomes. However, targeting higher blood pressure or oxygen levels during the post-resuscitative phase has not been shown to offer any mortality or neurological benefits. In terms of maintaining hemodynamic instability after resuscitation, it is recommended to use norepinephrine rather than epinephrine. While extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation has shown promising results, targeted temperature management has been found ineffective in improving outcomes despite its previous potential. This review also investigates various challenges and barriers associated with the practical implementation of these supportive therapies in clinical settings. The review also highlights areas ripe for future research and proposes potential directions to further enhance post-resuscitation supportive care for OHCA survivors.

Abstract
The cerebral oxygen cascade includes three key stages: (a) convective oxygen delivery representing the bulk flow of oxygen to the cerebral vascular bed; (b) diffusion of oxygen from the blood into brain tissue; and (c) cellular utilisation of oxygen for aerobic metabolism. All three stages may become dysfunctional after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and contribute to hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI). Improving convective cerebral oxygen delivery by optimising cerebral blood flow has been widely investigated as a strategy to mitigate HIBI. However, clinical trials aimed at optimising convective oxygen delivery have yielded neutral results. Advances in the understanding of HIBI pathophysiology suggest that impairments in the stages of the oxygen cascade pertaining to oxygen diffusion and cellular utilisation of oxygen should also be considered in identifying therapeutic strategies for the clinical management of HIBI patients. Culprit mechanisms for these impairments may include a widening of the diffusion barrier due to peri-vascular oedema and mitochondrial dysfunction. An integrated approach encompassing both intra-parenchymal and non-invasive neuromonitoring techniques may aid in detecting pathophysiologic changes in the oxygen cascade and enable patient-specific management aimed at reducing the severity of HIBI.

Abstract
Cerebral vascular autoregulation is impaired following resuscitation from cardiac arrest (CA), and its quantification may allow assessing CA-induced brain injury. However, hyperemia occurring immediately post-resuscitation limits the application of most metrics that quantify autoregulation. Therefore, to characterize autoregulation during this critical period, we developed three novel metrics based on how the cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) covaries with changes in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP): (i) θCVR, which quantifies the CVR vs CPP gradient, (ii) a CVR-based transfer function analysis, and (iii) CVRx, the correlation coefficient between CPP and CVR. We tested these metrics in a model of asphyxia induced CA and resuscitation using seven adult male Wistar rats. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cortical blood flow recorded for 30 min post-resuscitation via arterial cannulation and laser speckle contrast imaging, were used as surrogates of CPP and cerebral blood flow (CBF), while CVR was computed as the CPP/CBF ratio. Using our metrics, we found that the status of cerebral vascular autoregulation altered substantially during hyperemia, with changes spread throughout the 0-0.05 Hz frequency band. Our metrics push the boundary of how soon autoregulation can be assessed, and if validated against outcome markers, may help develop a reliable metric of brain injury post-resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is frequently used to predict delayed cerebral ischemia following aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, the influence of blood pressure on CTP is currently controversial (HIMALAIA trial), which differs from our clinical observations. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the influence of blood pressure on early CTP imaging in patients with aSAH. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the mean transit time (MTT) of early CTP imaging within 24 h after bleeding prior to aneurysm occlusion with respect to blood pressure shortly before or after the examination in 134 patients. We correlated the cerebral blood flow with the cerebral perfusion pressure in the case of patients with intracranial pressure measurement. We performed a subgroup analysis of good-grade (World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies [WFNS] I-III), poor-grade (WFNS IV-V), and solely WFNS grade V aSAH patients. RESULTS Mean arterial pressure (MAP) significantly correlated inversely with the mean MTT in early CTP imaging (R = - 0.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.34 to - 0.01, p = 0.042). Lower mean blood pressure was significantly associated with a higher mean MTT. Subgroup analysis revealed an increasing inverse correlation when comparing WFNS I-III (R = - 0.08, 95% CI - 0.31 to 0.16, p = 0.53) patients with WFNS IV-V (R = - 0.2, 95% CI - 0.42 to 0.05, p = 0.12) patients, without reaching statistical significance. However, if only patients with WFNS V are considered, a significant and even stronger correlation between MAP and MTT (R = - 0.4, 95% CI - 0.65 to 0.07, p = 0.02) is observed. In patients with intracranial pressure monitoring, a stronger dependency of cerebral blood flow on cerebral perfusion pressure is observed for poor-grade patients compared with good-grade patients. CONCLUSIONS The inverse correlation between MAP and MTT in early CTP imaging, increasing with the severity of aSAH, suggests an increasing disturbance of cerebral autoregulation with the severity of early brain injury. Our results emphasize the importance of maintaining physiological blood pressure values in the early phase of aSAH and preventing hypotension, especially in patients with poor-grade aSAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With ideal mean arterial pressure (MAP) targets in resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients unknown, we performed a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the effects of higher versus lower MAP targets. METHODS We searched four databases until 1 May 2023 for RCTs reporting the effects of higher MAP targets (>70 mmHg) in resuscitated OHCA patients and conducted random-effects meta-analyses. The primary outcome was mortality while secondary outcomes were neurological evaluations, arrhythmias, acute kidney injury, and durations of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. We conducted inverse-variance weighted strata-level meta-regression against a proportion of non-survivors to assess differences between reported MAPs. We also conducted a trial sequential analysis of RCTs. RESULTS Four RCTs were included. Higher MAP was not associated with reduced mortality (OR: 1.09, 95%-CI: 0.84 to 1.42, p = 0.51), or improved neurological outcomes (OR: 0.99, 95%-CI: 0.77 to 1.27, p = 0.92). Such findings were consistent despite additional sensitivity analyses. Our robust variance strata-level meta-regression revealed no significant associations between mean MAP and the proportion of non-survivors (B: 0.029, 95%-CI: -0.023 to 0.081, p = 0.162), and trial sequential analysis revealed no meaningful survival benefit for higher MAPs. CONCLUSIONS A higher MAP target was not significantly associated with improved mortality and neurological outcomes in resuscitated OHCA patients.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest affects millions of people per year worldwide. Although advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and intensive care have improved outcomes over time, neurologic impairment and multiple organ dysfunction continue to be associated with a high mortality rate. The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the post-resuscitation disease are complex, and a coordinated, evidence-based approach to post-resuscitation care has significant potential to improve survival. Critical care management of patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest focuses on the identification and treatment of the underlying cause(s), hemodynamic and respiratory support, organ protection, and active temperature control. This review provides a state-of-the-art appraisal of critical care management of the post-cardiac arrest patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The heart and lungs work as a functional unit through a complex interplay. The cardiorespiratory system is responsible for the delivery of oxygen and energy substrates to the brain. Therefore, diseases of the heart and lungs can lead to various neurologic illnesses. This article reviews various cardiac and pulmonary pathologies that can lead to neurologic injury and discusses the relevant pathophysiologic mechanisms. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS We have lived through unprecedented times over the past 3 years with the emergence and rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the effects of COVID-19 on the lungs and heart, an increased incidence of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and stroke associated with cardiorespiratory pathologies has been observed. Newer evidence has questioned the benefit of induced hypothermia in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Further, global collaborative initiatives such as the Curing Coma Campaign are underway with the goal of improving the care of patients with coma and disorders of consciousness, including those resulting from cardiac and pulmonary pathologies. ESSENTIAL POINTS The neurologic complications of cardiorespiratory disorders are common and present in various forms such as stroke or hypoxic and anoxic injury related to cardiac or respiratory failure. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, neurologic complications have increased in recent years. Given the intimate and interdependent dynamics of the heart, lungs, and brain, it is crucial for neurologists to be aware of the interplay between these organs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To describe the available neuromonitoring tools in patients who are comatose after resuscitation from cardiac arrest because of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI). RECENT FINDINGS Electroencephalogram (EEG) is useful for detecting seizures and guiding antiepileptic treatment. Moreover, specific EEG patterns accurately identify patients with irreversible HIBI. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) decreases in HIBI, and a greater decrease with no CBF recovery indicates poor outcome. The CBF autoregulation curve is narrowed and right-shifted in some HIBI patients, most of whom have poor outcome. Parameters derived from near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), intracranial pressure (ICP) and transcranial Doppler (TCD), together with brain tissue oxygenation, are under investigation as tools to optimize CBF in patients with HIBI and altered autoregulation. Blood levels of brain biomarkers and their trend over time are used to assess the severity of HIBI in both the research and clinical setting, and to predict the outcome of postcardiac arrest coma. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is recommended as a prognostic tool for HIBI in the current postresuscitation guidelines, but other potentially more accurate biomarkers, such as neurofilament light chain (NfL) are under investigation. SUMMARY Neuromonitoring provides essential information to detect complications, individualize treatment and predict prognosis in patients with HIBI.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest, one of the leading causes of death, accounts for numerous clinical studies published each year. This review summarizes the findings of all the randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) on cardiac arrest published in the year 2022. The RCTs are presented according to the following categories: out-of- and in-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA, IHCA) and post-cardiac arrest care. Interestingly, more than 80% of the RCTs encompassed advanced life support and post-cardiac arrest care, while no studies focused on the treatment of IHCA, except for one that, however, explored the temperature control after resuscitation in this population. Surprisingly, 9 out of 11 RCTs led to neutral results demonstrating equivalency between the newly tested interventions compared to current practice. One trial was negative, showing that oxygen titration in the immediate pre-hospital post-resuscitation period decreased survival compared to a more liberal approach. One RCT was positive and introduced new defibrillation strategies for refractory cardiac arrest. Overall, data from the 2022 RCTs discussed here provide a solid basis to generate new hypotheses to be tested in future clinical studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the effect of different blood pressure levels on global cerebral metabolism in comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS In a double-blinded trial, we randomly assigned 60 comatose patients following OHCA to low (63 mmHg) or high (77 mmHg) mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). The trial was a sub-study in the Blood Pressure and Oxygenation Targets after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest-trial (BOX). Global cerebral metabolism utilizing jugular bulb microdialysis (JBM) and cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) was monitored continuously for 96 h. The lactate-to-pyruvate (LP) ratio is a marker of cellular redox status and increases during deficient oxygen delivery (ischemia, hypoxia) and mitochondrial dysfunction. The primary outcome was to compare time-averaged means of cerebral energy metabolites between MAP groups during post-resuscitation care. Secondary outcomes included metabolic patterns of cerebral ischemia, rSO2, plasma neuron-specific enolase level at 48 h and neurological outcome at hospital discharge (cerebral performance category). RESULTS We found a clear separation in MAP between the groups (15 mmHg, p < 0.001). Cerebral biochemical variables were not significantly different between MAP groups (LPR low MAP 19 (16-31) vs. high MAP 23 (16-33), p = 0.64). However, the LP ratio remained high (> 16) in both groups during the first 30 h. During the first 24 h, cerebral lactate > 2.5 mM, pyruvate levels > 110 µM, LP ratio > 30, and glycerol > 260 µM were highly predictive for poor neurological outcome and death with AUC 0.80. The median (IQR) rSO2 during the first 48 h was 69.5% (62.0-75.0%) in the low MAP group and 69.0% (61.3-75.5%) in the high MAP group, p = 0.16. CONCLUSIONS Among comatose patients resuscitated from OHCA, targeting a higher MAP 180 min after ROSC did not significantly improve cerebral energy metabolism within 96 h of post-resuscitation care. Patients with a poor clinical outcome exhibited significantly worse biochemical patterns, probably illustrating that insufficient tissue oxygenation and recirculation during the initial hours after ROSC were essential factors determining neurological outcome.

Cardiac Arrest Treatment Center Differences in Sedation and Analgesia Dosing During Targeted Temperature Management. Neurocrit Care 2023; 38:16-25.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sedation and analgesia are recommended during targeted temperature management (TTM) after cardiac arrest, but there are few data to provide guidance on dosing to bedside clinicians. We evaluated differences in patient-level sedation and analgesia dosing in an international multicenter TTM trial to better characterize current practice and clinically important outcomes. METHODS A total 950 patients in the international TTM trial were randomly assigned to a TTM of 33 °C or 36 °C after resuscitation from cardiac arrest in 36 intensive care units. We recorded cumulative doses of sedative and analgesic drugs at 12, 24, and 48 h and normalized to midazolam and fentanyl equivalents. We compared number of medications used, dosing, and titration among centers by using multivariable models, including common severity of illness factors. We also compared dosing with time to awakening, incidence of clinical seizures, and survival. RESULTS A total of 614 patients at 18 centers were analyzed. Propofol (70%) and fentanyl (51%) were most frequently used. The average dosages of midazolam and fentanyl equivalents were 0.13 (0.07, 0.22) mg/kg/h and 1.16 (0.49, 1.81) µg/kg/h, respectively. There were significant differences in number of medications (p < 0.001), average dosages (p < 0.001), and titration at all time points between centers (p < 0.001), and the outcomes of patients in these centers were associated with all parameters described in the multivariate analysis, except for a difference in the titration of sedatives between 12 and 24 h (p = 0.40). There were associations between higher dosing at 48 h (p = 0.003, odds ratio [OR] 1.75) and increased titration of analgesics between 24 and 48 h (p = 0.005, OR 4.89) with awakening after 5 days, increased titration of sedatives between 24 and 48 h with awakening after 5 days (p < 0.001, OR > 100), and increased titration of sedatives between 24 and 48 h with a higher incidence of clinical seizures in the multivariate analysis (p = 0.04, OR 240). There were also significant associations between decreased titration of analgesics and survival at 6 months in the multivariate analysis (p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS There is significant variation in choice of drug, dosing, and titration when providing sedation and analgesics between centers. Sedation and analgesia dosing and titration were associated with delayed awakening, incidence of clinical seizures, and survival, but the causal relation of these findings cannot be proven.

The effect of blood pressure on mortality following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a retrospective cohort study of the United Kingdom Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre database. Crit Care 2023; 27:4. [PMID: 36604745 PMCID: PMC9817239 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-022-04289-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypotension following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may cause secondary brain injury and increase mortality rates. Current guidelines recommend avoiding hypotension. However, the optimal blood pressure following OHCA is unknown. We hypothesised that exposure to hypotension and hypertension in the first 24 h in ICU would be associated with mortality following OHCA. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of OHCA patients included in the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre Case Mix Programme from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2019. Restricted cubic splines were created following adjustment for important prognostic variables. We report the adjusted odds ratio for associations between lowest and highest mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the first 24 h of ICU care and hospital mortality. RESULTS A total of 32,349 patients were included in the analysis. Hospital mortality was 56.2%. The median lowest and highest MAP and SBP were similar in survivors and non-survivors. Both hypotension and hypertension were associated with increased mortality. Patients who had a lowest recorded MAP in the range 60-63 mmHg had the lowest associated mortality. Patients who had a highest recorded MAP in the range 95-104 mmHg had the lowest associated mortality. The association between SBP and mortality followed a similar pattern to MAP. CONCLUSIONS We found an association between hypotension and hypertension in the first 24 h in ICU and mortality following OHCA. The inability to distinguish between the median blood pressure of survivors and non-survivors indicates the need for research into individualised blood pressure targets for survivors following OHCA.

Abstract
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is emerging as an effective, lifesaving resuscitation strategy for select patients with prolonged or refractory cardiac arrest. Currently, a paucity of evidence-based recommendations is available to guide clinical management of eCPR patients. Despite promising results from initial clinical trials, neurological injury remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Neuropathology associated with utilization of an extracorporeal circuit may interact significantly with the consequences of a prolonged low-flow state that typically precedes eCPR. In this narrative review, we explore current gaps in knowledge about cerebral perfusion over the course of cardiac arrest and resuscitation with a focus on patients treated with eCPR. We found no studies which investigated regional cerebral blood flow or cerebral autoregulation in human cohorts specific to eCPR. Studies which assessed cerebral perfusion in clinical eCPR were small and limited to near-infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, no studies prospectively or retrospectively evaluated the relationship between epinephrine and neurological outcomes in eCPR patients. In summary, the field currently lacks a comprehensive understanding of how regional cerebral perfusion and cerebral autoregulation are temporally modified by factors such as pre-eCPR low-flow duration, vasopressors, and circuit flow rate. Elucidating these critical relationships may inform future strategies aimed at improving neurological outcomes in patients treated with lifesaving eCPR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypotension following resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may cause harm by exacerbating secondary brain injury; however, limited research has explored this relationship. Our objective was to examine the association between duration and depth of prehospital post return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) hypotension and survival. METHODS We utilized the 2019 and 2020 ESO Data Collaborative public use research data sets for this study (ESO, Austin, TX). Hypotension dose (mmHg*min.), average prehospital systolic blood pressure (SBP), and lowest recorded prehospital SBP were calculated. The association of these measures with survival to home (STH) and rearrest were explored using multivariable logistic regression. Time to hypotension resolution analyses by hypotension management strategy (push dose vasopressors, vasopressor infusion, or fluid only) were conducted using adjusted Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS 17,280 OHCA patients met inclusion criteria, of which 3,345 had associated hospital outcome data. Over one-third (37.8%; 6,526/17,280) of all patients had at least one recorded SBP below 90 mmHg. When modeled continuously, average prehospital SBP (1.19 [1.15, 1.23] per 10 mmHg), lowest prehospital SBP (1.20 [1.17, 1.24] per 10 mmHg), and hypotension dose (0.995 [0.993, 0.996] per mmHg*min.) were independently associated with STH. Differences in hypotension management were not associated with differences in survival or time to hypotension resolution. CONCLUSION Severity and duration of hypotension were significantly associated with worse outcomes in this dataset. Defining a threshold for hypotension requiring treatment above the classical SBP threshold of 90 mmHg may be warranted in the setting of prehospital post-resuscitation care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence to support the choice of blood-pressure targets for the treatment of comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who are receiving intensive care is limited. METHODS In a double-blind, randomized trial with a 2-by-2 factorial design, we evaluated a mean arterial blood-pressure target of 63 mm Hg as compared with 77 mm Hg in comatose adults who had been resuscitated after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of presumed cardiac cause; patients were also assigned to one of two oxygen targets (reported separately). The primary outcome was a composite of death from any cause or hospital discharge with a Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) of 3 or 4 within 90 days (range, 0 to 5, with higher categories indicating more severe disability; a category of 3 or 4 indicates severe disability or coma). Secondary outcomes included neuron-specific enolase levels at 48 hours, death from any cause, scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (range, 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive ability) and the modified Rankin scale (range, 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater disability) at 3 months, and the CPC at 3 months. RESULTS A total of 789 patients were included in the analysis (393 in the high-target group and 396 in the low-target group). A primary-outcome event occurred in 133 patients (34%) in the high-target group and in 127 patients (32%) in the low-target group (hazard ratio, 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84 to 1.37; P = 0.56). At 90 days, 122 patients (31%) in the high-target group and 114 patients (29%) in the low-target group had died (hazard ratio, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.46). The median CPC was 1 (interquartile range, 1 to 5) in both the high-target group and the low-target group; the corresponding median modified Rankin scale scores were 1 (interquartile range, 0 to 6) and 1 (interquartile range, 0 to 6), and the corresponding median Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores were 27 (interquartile range, 24 to 29) and 26 (interquartile range, 24 to 29). The median neuron-specific enolase level at 48 hours was also similar in the two groups. The percentages of patients with adverse events did not differ significantly between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Targeting a mean arterial blood pressure of 77 mm Hg or 63 mm Hg in patients who had been resuscitated from cardiac arrest did not result in significantly different percentages of patients dying or having severe disability or coma.

Abstract
For the past two decades, targeted temperature management (TTM) has been a staple in the care of comatose survivors following cardiac arrest. However, recent clinical trials have failed to replicate the benefit seen in earlier studies, bringing into question the very existence of such clinical practice. In this review, we explore clinical scenarios within critical care that appeared to share a similar fate, but in actuality changed the landscape of practice in a modern world. Accordingly, clinicians may apply these lessons to the utilization of TTM among comatose survivors following cardiac arrest, potentially paving way for a re-framing of clinical care amidst an environment where current data appears upside down in comparison to past successes.

Heart rate and diastolic arterial pressure in cardiac arrest patients: A nationwide, multicenter prospective registry. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0274130. [PMID: 36103505 PMCID: PMC9473410 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0274130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background
Guidelines have recommended monitoring mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) in cardiac arrest patients, but there has been relatively little regard for diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) and heart rate (HR). We aimed to determine the prognostic significance of hemodynamic parameters at all time points during targeted temperature management (TTM).
Methods
We reviewed the SAP, DAP, MAP, and HR data in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors from the prospective multicenter registry of 22 teaching hospitals. This study included 1371 patients who underwent TTM among 10,258 cardiac arrest patients. The hemodynamic parameters were recorded every 6 hours from the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) to 4 days. The risks of those according to time points during TTM were compared.
Results
Of the included patients, 943 (68.8%) had poor neurological outcomes. The predictive ability of DAP surpassed that of SAP and MAP at all time points, and among the hemodynamic variables HR/DAP was the best predictor of the poor outcome. The risks in patients with DAP < 55 to 70 mmHg and HR > 70 to 100 beats/min were steeply increased for 2 days after ROSC and correlated with the poor outcome at all time points. Bradycardia showed lower risks only at 6 hours to 24 hours after ROSC.
Conclusion
Hemodynamic parameters should be intensively monitored especially for 2 days after ROSC because cardiac arrest patients may be vulnerable to hemodynamic instability during TTM. Monitoring HR/DAP can help access the risks in cardiac arrest patients.

Abstract
Aim: Head and thorax elevation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation improves cerebral hemodynamics and ultimate neurological outcome after cardiac arrest. Its effect during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) is unknown. We tested whether this procedure could improve hemodynamics in swine treated by E-CPR. Methods and Results: Pigs were anesthetized and submitted to 15 minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation followed by E-CPR. Animals randomly remained in flat position (flat group) or underwent head and thorax elevation since E-CPR institution (head-up group). Electric shocks were delivered after 30 minutes until the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). They were followed during 120 minutes after ROSC. After 30 minutes of E-CPR, ROSC was achieved in all animals, with no difference regarding blood pressure, heart rate, and extracorporeal membrane of oxygenation flow among groups. The head-up group had an attenuated increase in ICP as compared with the flat group after cardiac arrest (13 ± 1 vs. 26 ± 2 mm Hg at the end of the follow-up, respectively). Cerebral perfusion pressure tended to be higher in the head-up versus flat group despite not achieving statistical difference (66 ± 1 vs 46 ± 1 mm Hg at the end of the follow-up). Carotid blood flow and cerebral oxygen saturation were not significantly different among groups. Conclusion: During E-CPR, head and thorax elevation prevents ICP increase. Whether it could improve the ultimate neurological outcome in this situation deserves further investigation.

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

Optimal Arterial Blood Gas Tensions for the Prognosis of Favorable Neurological Outcomes in Survivors after Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11144211.

Abstract
Our aim is to assess the optimal levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide for the prognosis of favorable neurologic outcomes in survivors after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). We obtained the mean levels of PaCO2 and PaO2 in arterial blood gas samples 72 h after ECPR. The primary outcome was the neurological status, according to the Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) scale, upon discharge. Of 119 (48.6%) survivors, 95 (38.8%) had favorable neurologic outcomes (CPC 1 or 2). There was a U-shaped relationship between mean arterial blood gas tensions and poor neurological outcomes. The risk of poor neurological outcome was lowest in patients with the second tertile of mean PaCO2 (30–42 mm Hg) and PaO2 (120–160 mm Hg). In a multivariable analysis, third tertile of mean PaCO2, third tertile of mean PaO2, age, shockable rhythm, out of hospital cardiac arrest, duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and ECPR at cardiac catheterization lab were found to be significantly associated with poor neurologic outcomes. Additionally, hypercapnia and extreme hyperoxia were found to be significantly associated with poor neurological outcomes after ECPR. Therefore, maintaining adequate arterial levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide may be important for favorable neurological prognoses in survivors after ECPR.

Abstract
Introduction: Victims of accidental hypothermia in hypothermic cardiac arrest (HCA) may survive with favorable neurologic outcome if early and continuous prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is started and continued during evacuation and transport. The efficacy of cerebral autoregulation during hypothermic CPR is largely unknown and is aim of the present experiment. Methods: Anesthetized pigs (n = 8) were surface cooled to HCA at 27°C before 3 h continuous CPR. Central hemodynamics, cerebral O2 delivery (DO2) and uptake (VO2), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) were determined before cooling, at 32°C and at 27°C, then at 15 min after the start of CPR, and hourly thereafter. To estimate cerebral autoregulation, the static autoregulatory index (sARI), and the CBF/VO2 ratio were determined. Results: After the initial 15-min period of CPR at 27°C, cardiac output (CO) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were reduced significantly when compared to corresponding values during spontaneous circulation at 27°C (-66.7% and -44.4%, respectively), and remained reduced during the subsequent 3-h period of CPR. During the first 2-h period of CPR at 27°C, blood flow in five different brain areas remained unchanged when compared to the level during spontaneous circulation at 27°C, but after 3 h of CPR blood flow in 2 of the 5 areas was significantly reduced. Cooling to 27°C reduced cerebral DO2 by 67.3% and VO2 by 84.4%. Cerebral VO2 was significantly reduced first after 3 h of CPR. Cerebral DO2 remained unaltered compared to corresponding levels measured during spontaneous circulation at 27°C. Cerebral autoregulation was preserved (sARI > 0.4), at least during the first 2 h of CPR. Interestingly, the CBF/VO2 ratio during spontaneous circulation at 27°C indicated the presence of an affluent cerebral DO2, whereas after CPR, the CBF/VO2 ratio returned to the level of spontaneous circulation at 38°C. Conclusion: Despite a reduced CO, continuous CPR for 3 h at 27°C provided sufficient cerebral DO2 to maintain aerobic metabolism and to preserve cerebral autoregulation during the first 2-h period of CPR. This new information supports early start and continued CPR in accidental hypothermia patients during rescue and transportation for in hospital rewarming.

Abstract
AIM Pressure reactivity index (PRx) provides a surrogate measurement of cerebrovascular autoregulation (CAR). We determined whether deviations from PRx-derived optimal mean arterial pressure (MAPopt) were associated with in-hospital mortality after adult cardiac arrest. METHODS Retrospective analysis of post-cardiac arrest patients who had continuously recorded intracranial pressure (ICP) and MAP. PRx was calculated as a moving, linear correlation between ICP and MAP. Impaired CAR was defined as PRx ≥ 0.3. MAPopt was calculated using a multi-window weighted algorithm. The burdens of MAP < 5 mmHg below MAPopt (MAPopt-5) and > 5 mmHg above MAPopt (MAPopt + 5) were calculated by integrating the area between MAP and MAPopt-5 or MAPopt + 5 curves, respectively. Univariate logistic regression tested the association between burden of MAP < MAPopt-5 and outcome. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were analyzed. Thirteen (59%) patients died before hospital discharge. Time (median [IQR]) between ROSC and monitoring initiation was 16 [14, 21] hours and duration of monitoring was 35 [22, 48] hours; neither differed between survivors and non-survivors. Median MAPopt was 89 [85, 97] mmHg and did not differ between survivors and non-survivors (89 [83, 94] vs. 91 [85, 105] mmHg, p = 0.64). Burden of MAP < MAPopt-5 was greater for non-survivors compared to survivors (OR 3.6 [95% CI 1.2-15.6]). Range of intact CAR (upper-lower limit) was narrower for non-survivors when compared to survivors (5 [0, 22] vs. 24 [7, 36] mmHg, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION A greater burden of MAP below PRx-derived MAPopt-5 was associated with mortality after cardiac arrest. Non-survivors had a narrower range of intact CAR than survivors.

Influence of circulatory shock at hospital admission on outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Sci Rep 2022; 12:8293.

Abstract
Hypotension after cardiac arrest could aggravate prolonged hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The association of circulatory shock at hospital admission with outcome after cardiac arrest has not been well studied. The objective of this study was to investigate the independent association of circulatory shock at hospital admission with neurologic outcome, and to evaluate whether cardiovascular comorbidities interact with circulatory shock. 4004 adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest enrolled in the International Cardiac Arrest Registry 2006–2017 were included in analysis. Circulatory shock was defined as a systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg and/or medical or mechanical supportive measures to maintain adequate perfusion during hospital admission. Primary outcome was cerebral performance category (CPC) dichotomized as good, (CPC 1–2) versus poor (CPC 3–5) outcome at hospital discharge. 38% of included patients were in circulatory shock at hospital admission, 32% had good neurologic outcome at hospital discharge. The adjusted odds ratio for good neurologic outcome in patients without preexisting cardiovascular disease with circulatory shock at hospital admission was 0.60 [0.46–0.79]. No significant interaction was detected with preexisting comorbidities in the main analysis. We conclude that circulatory shock at hospital admission after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is independently associated with poor neurologic outcome.

Abstract
Survival and neurological outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remain low. The further development of prehospital extracorporeal resuscitation (ECPR) towards Controlled Automated Reperfusion of the Whole Body (CARL) has the potential to improve survival and outcome in these patients. In CARL therapy, pulsatile, high blood-flow reperfusion is performed combined with several modified reperfusion parameters and adjusted defibrillation strategies. We aimed to investigate whether pulsatile, high-flow reperfusion is feasible in refractory OHCA and whether the CARL approach improves heart-rhythm control during ECPR. In a reality-based porcine model of refractory OHCA, 20 pigs underwent prehospital CARL or conventional ECPR. Significantly higher pulsatile blood-flow proved to be feasible, and critical hypotension was consistently prevented via CARL. In the CARL group, spontaneous rhythm conversions were observed using a modified priming solution. Applying potassium-induced secondary cardioplegia proved to be a safe and effective method for sustained rhythm conversion. Moreover, significantly fewer defibrillation attempts were needed, and cardiac arrhythmias were reduced during reperfusion via CARL. Prehospital CARL therapy thus not only proved to be feasible after prolonged OHCA, but it turned out to be superior to conventional ECPR regarding rhythm control.

Cerebral Blood Flow Hemispheric Asymmetry in Comatose Adults Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. Front Neurosci 2022; 16:858404.

Abstract
Peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) artificially oxygenates and circulates blood retrograde from the femoral artery, potentially exposing the brain to asymmetric perfusion. Though ECMO patients frequently experience brain injury, neurologic exams and imaging are difficult to obtain. Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) non-invasively measures relative cerebral blood flow (rBF) at the bedside using an optical probe on each side of the forehead. In this study we observed interhemispheric rBF differences in response to mean arterial pressure (MAP) changes in adult ECMO recipients. We recruited 13 subjects aged 21–78 years (7 with cardiac arrest, 4 with acute heart failure, and 2 with acute respiratory distress syndrome). They were dichotomized via Glasgow Coma Scale Motor score (GCS-M) into comatose (GCS-M ≤ 4; n = 4) and non-comatose (GCS-M > 4; n = 9) groups. Comatose patients had greater interhemispheric rBF asymmetry (ASYMrBF) vs. non-comatose patients over a range of MAP values (29 vs. 11%, p = 0.009). ASYMrBF in comatose patients resolved near a MAP range of 70–80 mmHg, while rBF remained symmetric through a wider MAP range in non-comatose patients. Correlations between post-oxygenator pCO2 or pH vs. ASYMrBF were significantly different between comatose and non-comatose groups. Our findings indicate that comatose patients are more likely to have asymmetric cerebral perfusion.

Abstract
Background During prehospital anaesthesia, oxygen delivery to the brain might be inadequate to match the oxygen consumption, with unknown long‐term functional outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of monitoring cerebral oxygenation during prehospital anaesthesia and determining the long‐term outcomes. Methods We performed a prospective observational feasibility study in two helicopter emergency medical services units. Frontal lobe regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) of adult patients undergoing prehospital anaesthesia was monitored with near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) by a Nonin H500 oximeter. The outcome was evaluated with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 30 days and 1 year. Health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) was measured with a 15D instrument at 1 year. Results Of 101 patients enrolled, 83 were included. The mean baseline rSO2 was 79% (73–84). Desaturation for at least 5 min to rSO2 below 50% or a decrease of 10% from baseline occurred in four (5%, 95% CI 2%–12%) and 19 (23%, 95% CI 15–93) patients. At 1 year, 32 patients (53%, 95% CI 41–65) achieved favourable neurological outcomes. The median 15D score was 0.889 (Q1–Q3, 0.796–0.970). Conclusion Monitoring cerebral oxygenation with a hand‐held oximeter during prehospital anaesthesia and collecting data on functional outcomes and HRQoL are feasible. Only half of the patients achieved a favourable functional outcome. The effects of cerebral oxygenation on outcomes during prehospital critical care need to be assessed in future studies.
