Abstract
Acute neurologic injury is common in critically ill children. Some conditions - such as traumatic brain injury, meningitis, and hypoxic-ischemic injury following cardiac arrest - require careful consideration of cerebral physiology. Specialized neuromonitoring techniques provide insight regarding patient-specific and disease-specific insight that can improve diagnostic accuracy, aid in targeting therapeutic interventions, and provide prognostic information. In this review, we will discuss recent innovations in invasive (e.g., intracranial pressure monitoring and related computed indices) and noninvasive (e.g., transcranial doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy) neuromonitoring techniques used in traumatic brain injury, central nervous system infections, and after cardiac arrest. We will discuss the pertinent physiological mechanisms interrogated by each technique and discuss available evidence for potential clinical application. We will also discuss the use of innovative neuromonitoring techniques to detect and manage neurologic complications in critically ill children with systemic illness, focusing on sepsis and cardiorespiratory failure requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Serum lactate and creatinine levels upon admission in cardiac arrest (CA) patients significantly correlate with acute kidney injury (AKI) post-restoration of autonomic circulation. However, the association between serum lactate/creatinine ratio (LCR) and AKI in this population remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between LCR at admission and cardiac arrest-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a secondary analysis of previously published data on CA patient resuscitation, categorizing them into tertiles based on LCR levels. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models and subgroup analyses were employed to investigate the association between LCR and CA-AKI. Non-linear correlations were explored using restricted cubic splines, and a two-piece wise logistic proportional hazards model for both sides of the inflection point was constructed. RESULTS A total of 374 patients (72.19 % male) were included, with intensive care unit mortality, in-hospital mortality, and neurologic dysfunction rates of 51.87 %, 56.95 %, and 39.57 %, respectively. The overall CA-AKI incidence was 59.09 %. Multivariate logistic proportional hazards analysis revealed a negative association between LCR and CA-AKI incidence (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.85, 95 % confidence intervals [CI] = 0.78-0.93, P=0.001). Triple spline restriction analysis depicted an L-shaped correlation between baseline LCR and CA-AKI incidence. Particularly, a baseline LCR<0.051 was negatively associated with CA-AKI incidence (OR 0.494, 95 % CI=0.319-0.764, P=0.002). Beyond the LCR turning point, estimated dose-response curves remained consistent with a horizontal line. CONCLUSIONS Baseline LCR in CA patients exhibits an L-shaped correlation with AKI incidence following restoration of autonomic circulation. The threshold for CA-AKI is 0.051. This finding suggests that LCR may aid in identifying CA patients at high risk of AKI.

Abstract
The Utstein Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Registry Template, introduced in 1991 and updated in 2004 and 2015, standardizes data collection to enable research, evaluation, and comparisons of systems of care. The impetus for the current update stemmed from significant advances in the field and insights from registry development and regional comparisons. This 2024 update involved representatives of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation and used a modified Delphi process. Every 2015 Utstein data element was reviewed for relevance, priority (core or supplemental), and improvement. New variables were proposed and refined. All changes were voted on for inclusion. The 2015 domains-system, dispatch, patient, process, and outcomes-were retained. Further clarity is provided for the definitions of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest attended resuscitation and attempted resuscitation. Changes reflect advancements in dispatch, early response systems, and resuscitation care, as well as the importance of prehospital outcomes. Time intervals such as emergency medical service response time now emphasize precise reporting of the times used. New flowcharts aid the reporting of system effectiveness for patients with an attempted resuscitation and system efficacy for the Utstein comparator group. Recognizing the varying capacities of emergency systems globally, the writing group provided a minimal dataset for settings with developing emergency medical systems. Supplementary variables are considered useful for research purposes. These revisions aim to elevate data collection and reporting transparency by registries and researchers and to advance international comparisons and collaborations. The overarching objective remains the improvement of outcomes for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Quantify hypotension burden using high-resolution continuous arterial blood pressure (ABP) data and determine its association with outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Academic PICU. PATIENTS Children 18 years old or younger admitted with in-of-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who had invasive ABP monitoring during postcardiac arrest care. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS High-resolution continuous ABP was analyzed up to 24 hours after the return of circulation (ROC). Hypotension burden was the time-normalized integral area between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and fifth percentile MAP for age. The primary outcome was unfavorable neurologic status (pediatric cerebral performance category ≥ 3 with change from baseline) at hospital discharge. Mann-Whitney U tests compared hypotension burden, duration, and magnitude between favorable and unfavorable patients. Multivariable logistic regression determined the association of unfavorable outcomes with hypotension burden, duration, and magnitude at various percentile thresholds from the 5th through 50th percentile for age. Of 140 patients (median age 53 [interquartile range 11-146] mo, 61% male); 63% had unfavorable outcomes. Monitoring duration was 21 (7-24) hours. Using a MAP threshold at the fifth percentile for age, the median hypotension burden was 0.01 (0-0.11) mm Hg-hours per hour, greater for patients with unfavorable compared with favorable outcomes (0 [0-0.02] vs. 0.02 [0-0.27] mm Hg-hr per hour, p < 0.001). Hypotension duration and magnitude were greater for unfavorable compared with favorable patients (0.03 [0-0.77] vs. 0.71 [0-5.01]%, p = 0.003; and 0.16 [0-1.99] vs. 2 [0-4.02] mm Hg, p = 0.001). On logistic regression, a 1-point increase in hypotension burden below the fifth percentile for age (equivalent to 1 mm Hg-hr of burden per hour of recording) was associated with increased odds of unfavorable outcome (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 14.8; 95% CI, 1.1-200; p = 0.040). At MAP thresholds of 10th-50th percentiles for age, MAP burden below the threshold was greater in unfavorable compared with favorable patients in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS High-resolution continuous ABP data can be used to quantify hypotension burden after pediatric cardiac arrest. The burden, duration, and magnitude of hypotension are associated with unfavorable neurologic outcomes.

Abstract
Currently nearly one-quarter of admissions to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) worldwide are for neurocritical care diagnoses that are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Pediatric neurocritical care is a rapidly evolving field with unique challenges due to not only age-related responses to primary neurologic insults and their treatments but also the rarity of pediatric neurocritical care conditions at any given institution. The structure of pediatric neurocritical care services therefore is most commonly a collaborative model where critical care medicine physicians coordinate care and are supported by a multidisciplinary team of pediatric subspecialists, including neurologists. While pediatric neurocritical care lies at the intersection between critical care and the neurosciences, this narrative review focuses on the most common clinical scenarios encountered by pediatric neurologists as consultants in the PICU and synthesizes the recent evidence, best practices, and ongoing research in these cases. We provide an in-depth review of (1) the evaluation and management of abnormal movements (seizures/status epilepticus and status dystonicus); (2) acute weakness and paralysis (focusing on pediatric stroke and select pediatric neuroimmune conditions); (3) neuromonitoring modalities using a pathophysiology-driven approach; (4) neuroprotective strategies for which there is evidence (e.g., pediatric severe traumatic brain injury, post-cardiac arrest care, and ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke); and (5) best practices for neuroprognostication in pediatric traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest, and disorders of consciousness, with highlights of the 2023 updates on Brain Death/Death by Neurological Criteria. Our review of the current state of pediatric neurocritical care from the viewpoint of what a pediatric neurologist in the PICU needs to know is intended to improve knowledge for providers at the bedside with the goal of better patient care and outcomes.

Abstract
Temperature control in severe acute brain injury (SABI) is a key component of acute management. This manuscript delves into the complex role of temperature management in SABI, encompassing conditions like traumatic brain injury (TBI), acute ischemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and hypoxemic/ischemic brain injury following cardiac arrest. Fever is a common complication in SABI and is linked to worse neurological outcomes due to increased inflammatory responses and intracranial pressure (ICP). Temperature management, particularly hypothermic temperature control (HTC), appears to mitigate these adverse effects primarily by reducing cerebral metabolic demand and dampening inflammatory pathways. However, the effectiveness of HTC varies across different SABI conditions. In the context of post-cardiac arrest, the impact of HTC on neurological outcomes has shown inconsistent results. In cases of TBI, HTC seems promising for reducing ICP, but its influence on long-term outcomes remains uncertain. For AIS, clinical trials have yet to conclusively demonstrate the benefits of HTC, despite encouraging preclinical evidence. This variability in efficacy is also observed in ICH, aSAH, bacterial meningitis, and status epilepticus. In pediatric and neonatal populations, while HTC shows significant benefits in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, its effectiveness in other brain injuries is mixed. Although the theoretical basis for employing temperature control, especially HTC, is strong, the clinical outcomes differ among various SABI subtypes. The current consensus indicates that fever prevention is beneficial across the board, but the application and effectiveness of HTC are more nuanced, underscoring the need for further research to establish optimal temperature management strategies. Here we provide an overview of the clinical evidence surrounding the use of temperature control in various types of SABI.

Abstract
Objective The bias of capnometry (ETCO2) and venous carbon dioxide (vpCO2) among pediatric emergency department (PED) patients triaged to critical care areas is unknown. We aimed to explore correlations and bias between ETCO2 and vpCO2¸and identify predictors of bias. Methods This was an observational, video-based, retrospective study comparing ETCO2 and vpCO2. Pediatric patients with simultaneous ETCO2 and vpCO2 data were included. Our primary aim utilized linear regressions to determine correlations and Bland-Altman analysis to assess bias. Our secondary aim utilized multiple regression to identify clinical covariates contributing to bias. Covariates included age, respiratory rate, heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, capnometry interface, PED diagnosis, and PED disposition. Results A total of 200 PED patients with ETCO2 and vpCO2 data were included. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) ETCO2, vpCO2, and ΔCO2 in mmHg were 38 (32, 46), 49 (41, 61), and 11 (4, 20), respectively. ETCO2 (r = 0.76) and ΔCO2 (r = 0.71) were highly correlated with vpCO2. The mean bias between ETCO2 and vpCO2 was -14.1 mmHg (95% confidence interval [CI], -41.9 -13.7). The bias between ETCO2 and vpCO2 increased at higher values of each measure. ETCO2 sampling interface was the only independent predictor of vpCO2 in our multivariate analysis. Patients requiring bag-valve mask (BVM) ventilation had the highest median bias between ETCO2 and vpCO2 (29 mmHg, IQR 15, 37). Conclusion ETCO2 and vpCO2 were highly correlated. However, bias increased at higher levels of both ETCO2 and vpCO2. Among PED patients, ETCO2's ability to approximate vpCO2 diminishes with worsening hypercarbic respiratory failure.

Abstract
Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) is a neuroprotective hormone induced by cold exposure that targets the β-klotho co-receptor. β-klotho is abundant in the newborn brain but decreases rapidly with age. RNA-Binding Motif 3 (RBM3) is a potent neuroprotectant upregulated by FGF21 in hypothermic conditions. We characterized serum FGF21 and RBM3 levels in patients enrolled in a prospective multi-center study of pediatric cardiac arrest (CA) via a secondary analysis of samples collected to evaluate brain injury biomarkers. Patients (n = 111) with remnant serum samples available from at least two of three available timepoints (0-24, 24-48 or 48-72 hours post-resuscitation) were included. Serum samples from 20 healthy controls were used for comparison. FGF21 was measured by Luminex and internally validated enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). RBM3 was measured by internally validated ELISA. Of postarrest patients, 98 were managed with normothermia, while 13 were treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH). FGF21 increased >20-fold in the first 24 hours postarrest versus controls (681 pg/mL [200-1864] vs. 29 pg/mL [15-51], n = 99 vs. 19, respectively, p < 0.0001, median [interquartile range]) with no difference in RBM3. FGF21 did not differ by sex, while RBM3 was increased in females versus males at 48-72 hours postarrest (1866 pg/mL [873-5176] vs. 1045 pg/mL [535-2728], n = 40 vs. 54, respectively, p < 0.05). Patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) postresuscitation had increased FGF21 versus those who did not at 48-72 hours (6550 pg/mL [1455-66,781] vs. 1213 pg/mL [480-3117], n = 7 vs 74, respectively, p < 0.05). FGF21 and RBM3 did not correlate (Spearman's rho = 0.004, p = 0.97). We conclude that in a multi-center study of pediatric CA patients where normothermic targeted temperature management was largely used, FGF21 was markedly increased postarrest versus control and highest in patients requiring ECMO postresuscitation. RBM3 was sex-dependent. We provide a framework for future studies examining the effect of TH on FGF21 or use of FGF21 therapy after pediatric CA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of multimodal neuromonitoring in pediatrics is in its infancy relative to adult neurocritical care. Multimodal neuromonitoring encompasses the amalgamation of information from multiple individual neuromonitoring devices to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the condition of the brain. It allows for adaptation to the changing state of the brain throughout various stages of injury with potential to individualize and optimize therapies. METHODS Here we provide an overview of multimodal neuromonitoring in pediatric neurocritical care and its potential application in the future. RESULTS Multimodal neuromonitoring devices are key to the process of multimodal neuromonitoring, allowing for visualization of data trends over time and ideally improving the ability of clinicians to identify patterns and find meaning in the immense volume of data now encountered in the care of critically ill patients at the bedside. Clinical use in pediatrics requires more study to determine best practices and impact on patient outcomes. Potential uses include guidance for targets of physiological parameters in the setting of acute brain injury, neuroprotection for patients at high risk for brain injury, and neuroprognostication. Implementing multimodal neuromonitoring in pediatric patients involves interprofessional collaboration with the development of a simultaneous comprehensive program to support the use of multimodal neuromonitoring while maintaining the fundamental principles of the delivery of neurocritical care at the bedside. CONCLUSIONS The possible benefits of multimodal neuromonitoring are immense and have great potential to advance the field of pediatric neurocritical care and the health of critically ill children.

Association of Pediatric Postcardiac Arrest Ventilation and Oxygenation with Survival Outcomes. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2024; 21:895-906. [PMID: 38507645 PMCID: PMC11160133 DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202311-948oc] [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: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Adult and pediatric studies provide conflicting data regarding whether post-cardiac arrest hypoxemia, hyperoxemia, hypercapnia, and/or hypocapnia are associated with worse outcomes. Objectives: We sought to determine whether postarrest hypoxemia or postarrest hyperoxemia is associated with lower rates of survival to hospital discharge, compared with postarrest normoxemia, and whether postarrest hypocapnia or hypercapnia is associated with lower rates of survival, compared with postarrest normocapnia. Methods: An embedded prospective observational study during a multicenter interventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation trial was conducted from 2016 to 2021. Patients ⩽18 years old and with a corrected gestational age of ≥37 weeks who received chest compressions for cardiac arrest in one of the 18 intensive care units were included. Exposures during the first 24 hours postarrest were hypoxemia, hyperoxemia, or normoxemia-defined as lowest arterial oxygen tension/pressure (PaO2) <60 mm Hg, highest PaO2 ⩾200 mm Hg, or every PaO2 60-199 mm Hg, respectively-and hypocapnia, hypercapnia, or normocapnia, defined as lowest arterial carbon dioxide tension/pressure (PaCO2) <30 mm Hg, highest PaCO2 ⩾50 mm Hg, or every PaCO2 30-49 mm Hg, respectively. Associations of oxygenation and carbon dioxide group with survival to hospital discharge were assessed using Poisson regression with robust error estimates. Results: The hypoxemia group was less likely to survive to hospital discharge, compared with the normoxemia group (adjusted relative risk [aRR] = 0.71; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.58-0.87), whereas survival in the hyperoxemia group did not differ from that in the normoxemia group (aRR = 1.0; 95% CI = 0.87-1.15). The hypercapnia group was less likely to survive to hospital discharge, compared with the normocapnia group (aRR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.64-0.84), whereas survival in the hypocapnia group did not differ from that in the normocapnia group (aRR = 0.91; 95% CI = 0.74-1.12). Conclusions: Postarrest hypoxemia and hypercapnia were each associated with lower rates of survival to hospital discharge.

Abstract
Background Despite national pediatric postcardiac arrest care (PCAC) guidelines to improve neurological outcomes and survival, there are limited studies describing PCAC delivery in pediatric institutions. This study aimed to describe PCAC delivery in centers belonging to a resuscitation quality collaborative. Methods An institutional review board-approved REDCap survey was distributed electronically to the lead resuscitation investigator at each institution in the international Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Improvement Collaborative. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics. A chi-square test was used to compare categorical data. Results Twenty-four of 47 centers (51%) completed the survey. Most respondents (58%) belonged to large centers (>1,000 annual pediatric intensive care unit admissions). Sixty-seven percent of centers reported no specific process to initiate PCAC with the other third employing order sets, paper forms, or institutional guidelines. Common PCAC targets included temperature (96%), age-based blood pressure (88%), and glucose (75%). Most PCAC included electroencephalogram (75%), but neuroimaging was only included at 46% of centers. Duration of PCAC was either tailored to clinical improvement and neurological examination (54%) or time-based (45%). Only 25% of centers reported having a mechanism for evaluating PCAC adherence. Common barriers to effective PCAC implementation included lack of time and limited training opportunities. Conclusions There is wide variation in PCAC delivery among surveyed pediatric institutions despite national guidelines to standardize and implement PCAC.

Abstract
Objective To determine whether ICU temperature management strategy is associated with fever in children with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study at a quaternary Children's hospital between 1/1/2016-31/12/2020. Mechanically ventilated children (<18 y/o) admitted to Pediatric or Cardiac ICU (PICU/CICU) with ROSC after OHCA who survived at least 72 h were included. Primary exposure was initial PICU/CICU temperature management strategy of: (1) passive management; or (2) warming with an air-warming blanket; or (3) targeted temperature management with a heating/cooling (homeothermic) blanket. Primary outcome was fever (≥38°C) within 72 h of admission. Results Over the study period, 111 children with ROSC after OHCA were admitted to PICU/CICU, received mechanical ventilation and survived at least 72 h. Median age was 31 (IQR 6-135) months, 64% (71/111) were male, and 49% (54/111) were previously healthy. Fever within 72 h of admission occurred in 51% (57/111) of patients. The choice of initial temperature management strategy was associated with occurrence of fever (χ2 = 9.36, df = 2, p = 0.009). Fever occurred in 60% (43/72) of patients managed passively, 45% (13/29) of patients managed with the air-warming blanket and 10% (1/10) of patients managed with the homeothermic blanket. Compared to passive management, use of homeothermic, but not of air-warming, blanket reduced fever risk [homeothermic: Risk Ratio (RR) = 0.17, 95%CI 0.03-0.69; air-warming: RR = 0.75, 95%CI 0.46-1.12]. To prevent fever in one child using a homeothermic blanket, number needed to treat (NNT) = 2. Conclusion In critically ill children with ROSC after OHCA, ICU temperature management strategy is associated with fever. Use of a heating/cooling blanket with homeothermic feedback reduces fever incidence during post-arrest care.

Abstract
Neuromonitoring is used to assess the central nervous system in the intensive care unit. The purpose of neuromonitoring is to detect neurologic deterioration and intervene to prevent irreversible nervous system dysfunction. Neuromonitoring starts with the standard neurologic examination, which may lag behind the pathophysiologic changes. Additional modalities including continuous electroencephalography (CEEG), multiple physiologic parameters, and structural neuroimaging may detect changes earlier. Multimodal neuromonitoring now refers to an integrated combination and display of non-invasive and invasive modalities, permitting tailored treatment for the individual patient. This chapter reviews the non-invasive and invasive modalities used in pediatric neurocritical care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Limited data exist to guide timing and method of neurologic prognostication after pediatric OHCA, making counseling on withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies (WLSTs) challenging. This study investigates the timing and mode of death after pediatric OHCA and factors associated with mortality. Additionally, this study explores delayed recovery after comatose examination on day 3 postarrest. DESIGN This is a retrospective, observational study based on data collected from hospital databases and chart reviews. SETTING Data collection occurred in two pediatric academic hospitals between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020. PATIENTS Patients were identified from available databases and electronic medical record queries for the International Classification of Diseases , 10th Edition (ICD-10) code I46.9 (Cardiac Arrest). Patient inclusion criteria included age range greater than or equal to 48 hours to less than 18 years, OHCA within 24 hours of admission, greater than or equal to 1 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and return-of-spontaneous circulation for greater than or equal to 20 min. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS One hundred thirty-five children (65% male) with a median age of 3 years (interquartile range 0.6-11.8) met inclusion criteria. Overall, 63 of 135 patients (47%) died before hospital discharge, including 34 of 63 patients (54%) after WLST. Among these, 20 of 34 patients underwent WLST less than or equal to 3 days postarrest, including 10 of 34 patients who underwent WLST within 1 day. WLST occurred because of poor perceived neurologic prognosis in all cases, although 7 of 34 also had poor perceived systemic prognosis. Delayed neurologic recovery from coma on day 3 postarrest was observed in 7 of 72 children (10%) who ultimately survived to discharge. CONCLUSIONS In our two centers between 2016 and 2020, more than half the deaths after pediatric OHCA occurred after WLST, and a majority of WLST occurred within 3 days postarrest. Additional research is warranted to determine optimal timing and predictors of neurologic prognosis after pediatric OHCA to better inform families during goals of care discussions.

Abstract
AIM Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is dysregulated after cardiac arrest. It is unknown if post-arrest CBF is associated with outcome. We aimed to determine the association of CBF derived from arterial spin labelling (ASL) MRI with outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. METHODS Retrospective observational study of patients ≤18 years who had a clinically obtained brain MRI within 7 days of cardiac arrest between June 2005 and December 2019. Primary outcome was unfavorable neurologic status: change in Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) ≥1 from pre-arrest that resulted in hospital discharge PCPC 3-6. We measured CBF in whole brain and regions of interest (ROIs) including frontal, parietal, and temporal cortex, caudate, putamen, thalamus, and brainstem using pulsed ASL. We compared CBF between outcome groups using Wilcoxon Rank-Sum and performed logistic regression to associate each region's CBF with outcome, accounting for age, sex, and time between arrest and MRI. RESULTS Forty-eight patients were analyzed (median age 2.8 [IQR 0.95, 8.8] years, 65% male). Sixty-nine percent had unfavorable outcome. Time from arrest to MRI was 4 [3,5] days and similar between outcome groups (p = 0.39). Whole brain median CBF was greater for unfavorable compared to favorable groups (28.3 [20.9,33.0] vs. 19.6 [15.3,23.1] ml/100 g/min, p = 0.007), as was CBF in individual ROIs. Greater CBF in the whole brain and individual ROIs was associated with higher odds of unfavorable outcome after controlling for age, sex, and days from arrest to MRI (aOR for whole brain 19.08 [95% CI 1.94, 187.41]). CONCLUSION CBF measured 3-5 days after pediatric cardiac arrest by ASL MRI was independently associated with unfavorable outcome.

BACKGROUND Our objective was to assess the utility of the 1-h suppression ratio (SR) as a biomarker of cerebral injury and neurologic prognosis after cardiac arrest (CA) in the pediatric hospital setting. METHODS Prospectively, we reviewed data from children presenting after CA and monitored by continuous electroencephalography (cEEG). Patients aged 1 month to 21 years were included. The SR, a quantitative measure of low-voltage cEEG (≤ 3 µV) content, was dichotomized as present or absent if there was > 0% suppression for one continuous hour. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed including age, sex, type of CA (i.e., in-hospital or out-of-hospital), and the presence of SR as a predictor of global anoxic cerebral injury as confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS We included 84 patients with a median age of 4 years (interquartile range 0.9-13), 64% were male, and 49% (41/84) had in-hospital CA. Cerebral injury was seen in 50% of patients, of whom 65% had global injury. One-hour SR presence, independent of amount, predicted cerebral injury with 81% sensitivity (95% confidence interval (CI) (66-91%) and 98% specificity (95% CI 88-100%). Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that SR was a significant predictor of both cerebral injury (β = 6.28, p < 0.001) and mortality (β = 3.56, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The SR a sensitive and specific marker of anoxic brain injury and post-CA mortality in the pediatric population. Once detected in the post-CA setting, the 1-h SR may be a useful threshold finding for deployment of early neuroprotective strategies prior or for prompting diagnostic neuroimaging.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity in children across the world. Current management based on international guidelines focuses on a fixed therapeutic target of less than 20 mm Hg for managing intracranial pressure and 40-50 mm Hg for cerebral perfusion pressure across the pediatric age group. To improve outcome from this complex disease, it is essential to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for disease evolution by using different monitoring tools. In this narrative review, we discuss the neuromonitoring tools available for use to help guide management of severe traumatic brain injury in children and some of the techniques that can in future help with individualizing treatment targets based on advanced cerebral physiology monitoring.

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 This study aimed to investigate trends over time in pre-hospital factors for pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (pOHCA) and long-term neurological and neuropsychological outcomes. These have not been described before in large populations. METHODS Non-traumatic arrest patients, 1 day-17 years old, presented to the Sophia Children's Hospital from January 2002 to December 2020, were eligible for inclusion. Favorable neurological outcome was defined as Pediatric Cerebral Performance Categories (PCPC) 1-2 or no difference with pre-arrest baseline. The trend over time was tested with multivariable logistic and linear regression models with year of event as independent variable. FINDINGS Over a nineteen-year study period, the annual rate of long-term favorable neurological outcome, assessed at a median 2.5 years follow-up, increased significantly (OR 1.10, 95%-CI 1.03-1.19), adjusted for confounders. Concurrently, annual automated external defibrillator (AED) use and, among adolescents, initial shockable rhythm increased significantly (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.10-1.33 and OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.02-1.29, respectively), adjusted for confounders. For generalizability purposes, only the total intelligence quotient (IQ) was considered for trend analysis of all tested domains. Total IQ scores and bystander basic life support (BLS) rate did not change significantly over time. INTERPRETATION Long-term favorable neurological outcome, assessed at a median 2.5 years follow-up, improved significantly over the study period. Total IQ scores did not significantly change over time. Furthermore, AED use (OR 1.21, 95%CI 1.10-1.33) and shockable rhythms among adolescents (OR1.15, 95%CI 1.02-1.29) increased over time.

Abstract
PURPOSE Management of children following a drowning incident is based on specific interventions which are used in the prehospital environment, the emergency department (ED) and the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). This paper presents a review of the literature to map and describe the management and interventions used by healthcare professionals when managing a child following a drowning incident. Of specific interest was to map, synthesise and describe the management and interventions according to the different clinical domains or practice areas of healthcare professionals. DESIGN AND METHODS A traditional review of the literature was performed to appraise, map and describe information from 32 relevant articles. Four electronic databases were searched using search strings and the Boolean operators AND as well as OR. The included articles were all published in English between 2010 and 2022, as it comprised a timeline including current guidelines and practices necessary to describe management and interventions. RESULTS Concepts and phrases from the literature were used as headings to form a picture or overview of the interventions used for managing a child following a drowning incident. Information extracted from the literature was mapped under management and interventions for prehospital, the ED and the PICU and a figure was constructed to display the findings. It was evident from the literature that management and interventions are well researched, evidence-informed and discussed, but no clear arguments or examples could be found to link the interventions for integrated management from the scene of drowning through to the PICU. Cooling and/or rewarming techniques and approaches and termination of resuscitation were found to be discussed as interventions, but no evidence of integration from prehospital to the ED and beyond was found. The review also highlighted the absence of parental involvement in the management of children following a drowning incident. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Mapping the literature enables visualisation of management and interventions used for children following a drowning incident. Integration of these interventions can collaboratively be done by involving the healthcare practitioners to form a link or chain for integrated management from the scene of drowning through to the PICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor outcomes are associated with post cardiac arrest blood pressures <5th percentile for age. We aimed to study the relationship of mean arterial pressure (MAP) with favorable neurologic outcome following cardiac arrest and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). METHODS This retrospective, multi-center, observational study analyzed data from the Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Collaborative (pediRES-Q). Children (<18 years) who achieved ROSC following index in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and survived ≥6 hours were included. Lowest documented MAP within the first 6 hours of ROSC was percentile adjusted for age and categorized into six groups - Group I: <5th, II: 5-24th, III: 25-49th, IV: 50-74th, V: 75-94th; and VI: 95-100th percentile. Primary outcome was favorable neurologic status at hospital discharge, defined as PCPC score 1, 2, or no change from pre-arrest baseline. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to analyze the association of MAP group with favorable outcome, controlling for illness category (surgical-cardiac), initial rhythm (shockable), arrest time (weekend or overnight), age, CPR duration, and clustering by site. RESULTS 787 patients were included: median [Q1,Q3] age 17.9 [4.8,90.6] months; male 58%; OHCA 21%; shockable rhythm 13%; CPR duration 7 [3,16] min; favorable neurologic outcome 54%. Median lowest documented MAP percentile for the favorable outcome group was 13 [3,43] versus 8 [1,37] for the unfavorable group. The distribution of blood pressures by MAP group was I: 37%, II: 28%, III: 13%, IV: 11%, V: 7%, and VI: 4%. Compared with patients in Group I (<5%ile), Groups II, III, and IV had higher odds of favorable outcome (aOR, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.24, 2.73]; 2.20 [95% CI, 1.32, 3.68]; 1.90 [95% CI, 1.12, 3.25]). There was no association between Groups V or VI and favorable outcome (aOR, 1.44 [95% CI, 0.75, 2.80]; 1.11 [95% CI, 0.47, 2.59]). CONCLUSION In the first 6-hours post-ROSC, a lowest documented MAP between the 5th-74th percentile for age was associated with favorable neurologic outcome compared to MAP <5th percentile for age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perinatal asphyxia may be followed by multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) and is often included in prognostication of the individual patient, but evidence of discriminating accuracy is lacking. The aim of this study was to assess whether MOD in asphyxiated neonates during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) predicts mortality or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 24 months of age and which peripartum variables are associated with the onset of MOD. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study of asphyxiated newborns undergoing TH was performed. MOD was defined as dysfunction of the brain (encephalopathy) combined with two or more organ systems. Outcome was routinely assessed by standardised developmental testing at the age of 24 months. The predictive accuracy of MOD on the combined outcome and its components (death and NDI) was expressed as areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs). The associations of peripartum variables and development of MOD were expressed as ORs and their CIs. RESULTS 189 infants (median gestation 40 (range 36-42 weeks) with moderate to severe hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy were included. 47% developed MOD. The prediction of the combined 24-month outcome or its components showed AUROCs <0.70. Associated with MOD were pH at birth (OR 0.97, CI 0.95 to 0.99), lactate at birth (OR 1.09, CI 1.04 to 1.15), Base Excess (BE) at birth (OR 0.94, CI 0.90 to 0.99) and epinephrine administration during resuscitation (OR 2.09, CI 1.02 to 4.40). CONCLUSION MOD has a low discriminating accuracy in predicting mortality or NDI at 24 months age and might not be useful for prognostication. Signs of acid-base disturbance and adrenalin use at birth are associated with the development of MOD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Delay or failure to consistently adopt evidence-based or consensus-based best practices into routine clinical care is common, including for patients in the PICU. PICU patients can fail to receive potentially beneficial diagnostic or therapeutic interventions, worsening the burden of illness and injury during critical illness. Implementation science (IS) has emerged to systematically address this problem, but its use of in the PICU has been limited to date. We therefore present a conceptual and methodologic overview of IS for the pediatric intensivist. DESIGN The members of Excellence in Pediatric Implementation Science (ECLIPSE; part of the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators Network) represent multi-institutional expertise in the use of IS in the PICU. This narrative review reflects the collective knowledge and perspective of the ECLIPSE group about why IS can benefit PICU patients, how to distinguish IS from quality improvement (QI), and how to evaluate an IS article. RESULTS IS requires a shift in one's thinking, away from questions and outcomes that define traditional clinical or translational research, including QI. Instead, in the IS rather than the QI literature, the terminology, definitions, and language differs by specifically focusing on relative importance of generalizable knowledge, as well as aspects of study design, scale, and timeframe over which the investigations occur. CONCLUSIONS Research in pediatric critical care practice must acknowledge the limitations and potential for patient harm that may result from a failure to implement evidence-based or professionals' consensus-based practices. IS represents an innovative, pragmatic, and increasingly popular approach that our field must readily embrace in order to improve our ability to care for critically ill children.

Hypoxic-ischemic injury is a common pathological dysfunction in clinical settings. Mitochondria are sensitive organelles that are readily damaged following ischemia and hypoxia. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) regulates mitochondrial quality and cellular functions via its oligomeric changes and multiple modifications, which plays a role in mediating the induction of multiple organ damage during hypoxic-ischemic injury. However, there is active controversy and gaps in knowledge regarding the modification, protein interaction, and functions of Drp1, which both hinder and promote development of Drp1 as a novel therapeutic target. Here, we summarize recent findings on the oligomeric changes, modification types, and protein interactions of Drp1 in various hypoxic-ischemic diseases, as well as the Drp1-mediated regulation of mitochondrial quality and cell functions following ischemia and hypoxia. Additionally, potential clinical translation prospects for targeting Drp1 are discussed. This review provides new ideas and targets for proactive interventions on multiple organ damage induced by various hypoxic-ischemic diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Though early hypotension after pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is associated with inferior outcomes, ideal post-arrest blood pressure (BP) targets have not been established. We aimed to leverage prospectively collected BP data to explore the association of post-arrest BP thresholds with outcomes. We hypothesized that post-arrest systolic and diastolic BP thresholds would be higher than the currently recommended post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation BP targets and would be associated with higher rates of survival to hospital discharge. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of prospectively collected BP data from the first 24 h following return of circulation from index IHCA events enrolled in the ICU-RESUScitation trial (NCT02837497). The lowest documented systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were percentile-adjusted for age, height and sex. Receiver operator characteristic curves and cubic spline analyses controlling for illness category and presence of pre-arrest hypotension were generated exploring the association of lowest post-arrest SBP and DBP with survival to hospital discharge and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category of 1-3 or no change from baseline). Optimal cutoffs for post-arrest BP thresholds were based on analysis of receiver operator characteristic curves and spline curves. Logistic regression models accounting for illness category and pre-arrest hypotension examined the associations of these thresholds with outcomes. RESULTS Among 693 index events with 0-6 h post-arrest BP data, identified thresholds were: SBP > 10th percentile and DBP > 50th percentile for age, sex and height. Fifty-one percent (n = 352) of subjects had lowest SBP above threshold and 50% (n = 346) had lowest DBP above threshold. SBP and DBP above thresholds were each associated with survival to hospital discharge (SBP: aRR 1.21 [95% CI 1.10, 1.33]; DBP: aRR 1.23 [1.12, 1.34]) and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome (SBP: aRR 1.22 [1.10, 1.35]; DBP: aRR 1.27 [1.15, 1.40]) (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Following pediatric IHCA, subjects had higher rates of survival to hospital discharge and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome when BP targets above a threshold of SBP > 10th percentile for age and DBP > 50th percentile for age during the first 6 h post-arrest.

Impaired echocardiographic left ventricular global longitudinal strain after pediatric cardiac arrest children is associated with mortality. Resuscitation 2023; 191:109936. [PMID: 37574003 PMCID: PMC10802989 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2023.109936] [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: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an echocardiographic method to identify left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after cardiac arrest that is less sensitive to loading conditions. We aimed to identify the frequency of impaired GLS following pediatric cardiac arrest, and its association with hospital mortality. METHODS This is a retrospective single-center cohort study of children <18 years of age treated in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after in- or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA and OHCA), with echocardiogram performed within 24 hours of initiation of post-arrest PICU care between 2013 and 2020. Patients with congenital heart disease, post-arrest extracorporeal support, or inability to measure GLS were excluded. Echocardiographic LV ejection fraction (EF) and shortening fraction (SF) were abstracted from the chart. GLS was measured post hoc; impaired strain was defined as LV GLS ≥ 2 SD worse than age-dependent normative values. Demographics and pre-arrest, arrest, and post-arrest characteristics were compared between subjects with normal versus impaired GLS. Correlation between GLS, SF and EF were calculated with Pearson comparison. Logistic regression tested the association of GLS with mortality. Area under the receiver operator curve (AUROC) was calculated for discriminative utility of GLS, EF, and SF with mortality. RESULTS GLS was measured in 124 subjects; impaired GLS was present in 46 (37.1%). Subjects with impaired GLS were older (median 7.9 vs. 1.9 years, p < 0.001), more likely to have ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation as initial rhythm (19.6% versus 3.8%, p = 0.017) and had higher peak troponin levels in the first 24 hours post-arrest (median 2.5 vs. 0.5, p = 0.002). There were no differences between arrest location or CPR duration by GLS groups. Subjects with impaired GLS compared to normal GLS had lower median EF (42.6% versus 62.3%) and median SF (23.3% versus 36.6%), all p < 0.001, with strong inverse correlation between GLS and EF (rho -0.76, p < 0.001) and SF (rho -0.71, p < 0.001). Patients with impaired GLS had higher rates of mortality (60% vs. 32%, p = 0.009). GLS was associated with mortality when controlling for age and initial rhythm [aOR 1.17 per 1% increase in GLS (95% CI 1.09-1.26), p < 0.001]. GLS, EF and SF had similar discrimination for mortality: GLS AUROC 0.69 (95% CI 0.60-0.79); EF AUROC 0.71 (95% CI 0.58-0.88); SF AUROC 0.71 (95% CI 0.61-0.82), p = 0.101. CONCLUSIONS Impaired LV function as measured by GLS after pediatric cardiac arrest is associated with hospital mortality. GLS is a novel complementary metric to traditional post-arrest echocardiography that correlates strongly with EF and SF and is associated with mortality. Future large prospective studies of post-cardiac arrest care should investigate the prognostic utilities of GLS, alongside SF and EF.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate associations between characteristics of simulated point-of-care cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training with simulated and actual intensive care unit (ICU) CPR performance, and with outcomes of children after in-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS This is a pre-specified secondary analysis of the ICU-RESUScitation Project; a prospective, multicentre cluster randomized interventional trial conducted in 18 ICUs from October 2016-March 2021. Point-of-care bedside simulations with real-time feedback to allow multidisciplinary ICU staff to practice CPR on a portable manikin were performed and quality metrics (rate, depth, release velocity, chest compression fraction) were recorded. Actual CPR performance was recorded for children 37 weeks post-conceptual age to 18 years who received chest compressions of any duration, and included intra-arrest haemodynamics and CPR mechanics. Outcomes included survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic status. RESULTS Overall, 18,912 point-of-care simulations were included. Simulation characteristics associated with both simulation and actual performance included site, participant discipline, and timing of simulation training. Simulation characteristics were not associated with survival with favourable neurologic outcome. However, participants in the top 3 sites for improvement in survival with favourable neurologic outcome were more likely to have participated in a simulation in the past month, on a weekday day, to be nurses, and to achieve targeted depth of compression and chest compression fraction goals during simulations than the bottom 3 sites. CONCLUSIONS Point-of-care simulation characteristics were associated with both simulated and actual CPR performance. More recent simulation, increased nursing participation, and simulation training during daytime hours may improve CPR performance.

Abstract
AIM Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has a poor prognosis in children; however, the annual patterns of prognosis and treatment have not been fully investigated. METHODS From the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine OHCA registry, a multicenter prospective observational registry in Japan, we identified pediatric patients (zero to 17 years old) between June 2014 and December 2019. The primary outcome was one-month survival. We investigated the annual patterns in patient characteristics, treatment, and one-month prognosis. RESULTS During the study period, 1188 patients were eligible for analysis. For all years, the zero-year-old group accounted for a large percentage of the total population (between 30% and 40%). There were significant increases in the rates of bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR; from 50.6% to 62.3%, p = 0.003), dispatcher instructions (from 44.7% to 65.7%, p = 0.001), and adrenaline administration (from 2.4% to 6.9%, p = 0.014) over time, whereas the rate of advanced airway management decreased significantly (from 17.7% to 8.8%, p = 0.003). The odds ratios for one-month survival adjusted for potential resuscitation factors also did not change significantly (from 7.1% to 10.3%, adjusted odds ratio for one-year increment = 0.98, confidence interval: 0.86-1.11). CONCLUSION Despite an increase in the rate of bystander-initiated CPR and pre-hospital adrenaline administration, there was no significant change in one-month survival.

Abstract
DISCLAIMER These guidelines for routine neuromonitoring in neonatal and pediatric patients supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are intended for educational use to build the knowledge of physicians and other health professionals in assessing the conditions and managing the treatment of patients undergoing extracorporeal life support (ECLS)/ECMO and describe what are believed to be useful and safe practice for ECLS and ECMO but these are not necessarily consensus recommendations. The aim of clinical guidelines was to help clinicians to make informed decisions about their patients. However, adherence to a guideline does not guarantee a successful outcome. Healthcare professionals must make their own treatment decisions about care on a case-by-case basis, after consultation with their patients, using their clinical judgment, knowledge, and expertise. These guidelines do not take the place of physicians' and other health professionals' judgment in diagnosing and treatment of patients. These guidelines are not intended to and should not be interpreted as setting a standard of care or being deemed inclusive of all proper methods of care nor exclusive of other methods of care directed at obtaining the same results. The ultimate judgment must be made by the physician and other health professionals and the patient considering all the circumstances presented by the individual patient, and the known variability and biologic behavior of the clinical condition. These guidelines reflect the data at the time the guidelines were prepared; the results of subsequent studies or other information may cause revisions to the recommendations in these guidelines to be prudent to reflect new data, but ELSO is under no obligation to provide updates. In no event will ELSO be liable for any decision made or action taken in reliance upon the information provided through these guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pediatric out of hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA) is rare, with high mortality and neurological morbidity. Adherence to Pediatric Advanced Life Support guidelines standardizes in-hospital care and improves outcomes. We hypothesized that in-hospital care of POHCA patients was variable and deviations from guidelines were associated with higher mortality. METHODS POHCA patients in the London-Middlesex region between January 2012 and June 2020 were included. The care of children with ongoing arrest (intra-arrest) and post-arrest outcomes were reviewed using the Children's Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) patient database and the Adverse Event Management System. RESULTS 50 POHCA patients arrived to hospital, with 15 (30%) patients admitted and 2 (4.0%) surviving to discharge, both with poor neurological outcomes and no improvement at 90 days. Deviations occurred at every event with intra-arrest care deviations occurring mostly in medication delivery and defibrillation (98%). Post-arrest deviations occurred mostly in temperature monitoring (60%). Data missingness was 15.9% in the intra-arrest and 1.7% in the post-arrest group. DISCUSSION Deviations commonly occurred in both in-hospital arrest and post-arrest care. The study was under-powered to identify associations between DEVs and outcomes. Future work includes addressing specific deviations in intra-arrest and post-arrest care of POHCA patients and standardizing electronic documentation.

Abstract
Background Pediatric neurological injury and disease is a critical public health issue due to increasing rates of survival from primary injuries (e.g., cardiac arrest, traumatic brain injury) and a lack of monitoring technologies and therapeutics for the treatment of secondary neurological injury. Translational, preclinical research facilitates the development of solutions to address this growing issue but is hindered by a lack of available data frameworks and standards for the management, processing, and analysis of multimodal data sets. Methods Here, we present a generalizable data framework that was implemented for large animal research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to address this technological gap. The presented framework culminates in an interactive dashboard for exploratory analysis and filtered data set download. Results Compared with existing clinical and preclinical data management solutions, the presented framework accommodates heterogeneous data types (single measure, repeated measures, time series, and imaging), integrates data sets across various experimental models, and facilitates dynamic visualization of integrated data sets. We present a use case of this framework for predictive model development for intra-arrest prediction of cardiopulmonary resuscitation outcome. Conclusions The described preclinical data framework may serve as a template to aid in data management efforts in other translational research labs that generate heterogeneous data sets and require a dynamic platform that can easily evolve alongside their research.

Abstract
AIM Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides temporary support in severe cardiac or respiratory failure and can be deployed in children who suffer cardiac arrest. However, it is unknown if a hospital's ECMO capability is associated with better outcomes in cardiac arrest. We evaluated the association between pediatric cardiac arrest survival and the availability of pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at the treating hospital. METHODS We identified cardiac arrest hospitalizations, including in- and out-of-hospital, in children (0-18 years old) using data from the Health Care Utilization Project (HCUP) National Inpatient Sample (NIS) between 2016 and 2018. The primary outcome was in-hospital survival. Hierarchical logistic regression models were built to test the association between hospital ECMO capability and in-hospital survival. RESULTS We identified 1276 cardiac arrest hospitalizations. Survival of the cohort was 44%; 50% at ECMO-capable hospitals and 32% at non-ECMO hospitals. After adjusting for patient-level factors and hospital factors, receipt of care at an ECMO- capable hospital was associated with higher in-hospital survival, with an odds ratio of 1.49 [95% CI 1.09, 2.02]. Patients who received treatment at ECMO-capable hospitals were younger (median 3 years vs 11 years, p < 0.001) and more likely to have a complex chronic condition, specifically congenital heart disease. A total of 10.9% (88/811) of patients at ECMO-capable hospitals received ECMO support. CONCLUSION A hospital's ECMO capability was associated with higher in-hospital survival among children suffering cardiac arrest in this analysis of a large United States administrative dataset. Future work to understand care delivery differences and other organizational factors in pediatric cardiac arrest is necessary to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Acute neurologic injuries represent a common cause of morbidity and mortality in children presenting to the pediatric intensive care unit. After primary neurologic insults, there may be cerebral brain tissue that remains at risk of secondary insults, which can lead to worsening neurologic injury and unfavorable outcomes. A fundamental goal of pediatric neurocritical care is to mitigate the impact of secondary neurologic injury and improve neurologic outcomes for critically ill children. This review describes the physiologic framework by which strategies in pediatric neurocritical care are designed to reduce the impact of secondary brain injury and improve functional outcomes. Here, we present current and emerging strategies for optimizing neuroprotective strategies in critically ill children.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) is a severe worldwide health problem. Therapeutic hypothermia is widely used to reduce the cardiac injury and improve the neurological outcomes after CA. However, a few studies have reported the changes of serum metabolic characteristics after CA. The healthy male New Zealand Rabbits successfully resuscitated from 10-min asphyxia-induced CA were divided randomly into the normothermia (NT) group and mild therapeutic hypothermia (HT) group. The sham group underwent sham-operation. Survival was recorded and neurological deficit score (NDS) was assessed. The serum non-targeted metabolomics were detected using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) and gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) at 15 min, 3 h, 6 h and 24 h after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Our study showed that the heart rate (HR) significantly slowed down during 0.5-6 h post ROSC, consistent with the decreasing trend of body temperature in the HT group. Compared with the NT group, the levels of Lac and PCO2 at 24 h post ROSC were lower, while a significant increase in PO2 level at 24 h post ROSC was observed in the HT group. The survival rate of the HT group was significantly higher than that of the NT group, and NDS scores were remarkably increased at 24 h post ROSC in the NT group. Significant differences in metabolic profiles at 15 min, 3 h, 6 h and 24 h post ROSC were observed among the Sham, NT and HT groups. The differential metabolites detected by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS were screened for further study between every two groups (NT vs sham, HT vs sham and HT vs NT) at 15 min, 3 h, 6 h and 24 h post ROSC. Phenylalanine metabolism, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were enriched in NT vs sham, HT vs sham and HT vs NT respectively. Our study demonstrated that therapeutic hypothermia improves the survival and neurological outcomes in rabbit model of cardiac arrest, and firstly represents the dynamic metabolic changes in the hypothermia therapy for CA by comprehensive UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS- and GC-MS/MS-based metabolomics.

Abstract
Importance Morbidity and mortality after pediatric cardiac arrest are chiefly due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Brain features seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) after arrest may identify injury and aid in outcome assessments. Objective To analyze the association of brain lesions seen on T2-weighted MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging and N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and lactate concentrations seen on MRS with 1-year outcomes after pediatric cardiac arrest. Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter cohort study took place in pediatric intensive care units at 14 US hospitals between May 16, 2017, and August 19, 2020. Children aged 48 hours to 17 years who were resuscitated from in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and who had a clinical brain MRI or MRS performed within 14 days postarrest were included in the study. Data were analyzed from January 2022 to February 2023. Exposure Brain MRI or MRS. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was an unfavorable outcome (either death or survival with a Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition, score of <70) at 1 year after cardiac arrest. MRI brain lesions were scored according to region and severity (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe) by 2 blinded pediatric neuroradiologists. MRI Injury Score was a sum of T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging lesions in gray and white matter (maximum score, 34). MRS lactate and NAA concentrations in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and occipital-parietal white and gray matter were quantified. Logistic regression was performed to determine the association of MRI and MRS features with patient outcomes. Results A total of 98 children, including 66 children who underwent brain MRI (median [IQR] age, 1.0 [0.0-3.0] years; 28 girls [42.4%]; 46 White children [69.7%]) and 32 children who underwent brain MRS (median [IQR] age, 1.0 [0.0-9.5] years; 13 girls [40.6%]; 21 White children [65.6%]) were included in the study. In the MRI group, 23 children (34.8%) had an unfavorable outcome, and in the MRS group, 12 children (37.5%) had an unfavorable outcome. MRI Injury Scores were higher among children with an unfavorable outcome (median [IQR] score, 22 [7-32]) than children with a favorable outcome (median [IQR] score, 1 [0-8]). Increased lactate and decreased NAA in all 4 regions of interest were associated with an unfavorable outcome. In a multivariable logistic regression adjusted for clinical characteristics, increased MRI Injury Score (odds ratio, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.04-1.20) was associated with an unfavorable outcome. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of children with cardiac arrest, brain features seen on MRI and MRS performed within 2 weeks after arrest were associated with 1-year outcomes, suggesting the utility of these imaging modalities to identify injury and assess outcomes.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support technology provided to children to support respiratory failure, cardiac failure, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation after failure of conventional management. Over the decades, ECMO has expanded in use, advanced in technology, shifted from experimental to a standard of care, and evidence supporting its use has increased. The expanded ECMO indications and medical complexity of children have also necessitated focused studies in the ethical domain such as decisional authority, resource allocation, and equitable access.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adverse neurological events during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are common and may be associated with devastating consequences. Close monitoring, early identification and prompt intervention can mitigate early and late neurological morbidity. Neuromonitoring and neurocognitive/neurodevelopmental follow-up are critically important to optimize outcomes in both adults and children. OBJECTIVE To assess current practice of neuromonitoring during ECMO and neurocognitive/neurodevelopmental follow-up after ECMO across Europe and to inform the development of neuromonitoring and follow-up guidelines. METHODS The EuroELSO Neurological Monitoring and Outcome Working Group conducted an electronic, web-based, multi-institutional, multinational survey in Europe. RESULTS Of the 211 European ECMO centres (including non-ELSO centres) identified and approached in 23 countries, 133 (63%) responded. Of these, 43% reported routine neuromonitoring during ECMO for all patients, 35% indicated selective use, and 22% practiced bedside clinical examination alone. The reported neuromonitoring modalities were NIRS (n = 88, 66.2%), electroencephalography (n = 52, 39.1%), transcranial Doppler (n = 38, 28.5%) and brain injury biomarkers (n = 33, 24.8%). Paediatric centres (67%) reported using cranial ultrasound, though the frequency of monitoring varied widely. Before hospital discharge following ECMO, 50 (37.6%) reported routine neurological assessment and 22 (16.5%) routinely performed neuroimaging with more paediatric centres offering neurological assessment (65%) as compared to adult centres (20%). Only 15 (11.2%) had a structured longitudinal follow-up pathway (defined followup at regular intervals), while 99 (74.4%) had no follow-up programme. The majority (n = 96, 72.2%) agreed that there should be a longitudinal structured follow-up for ECMO survivors. CONCLUSIONS This survey demonstrated significant variability in the use of different neuromonitoring modalities during and after ECMO. The perceived importance of neuromonitoring and follow-up was noted to be very high with agreement for a longitudinal structured follow-up programme, particularly in paediatric patients. Scientific society endorsed guidelines and minimum standards should be developed to inform local protocols.

Bio-physiological susceptibility of the brain, heart, and lungs to systemic ischemia reperfusion and hyperoxia-induced injury in post-cardiac arrest rats. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3419. [PMID: 36854715 PMCID: PMC9974929 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-30120-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) patients suffer from systemic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury leading to multiple organ failure; however, few studies have focused on tissue-specific pathophysiological responses to IR-induced oxidative stress. Herein, we investigated biological and physiological parameters of the brain and heart, and we particularly focused on the lung dysfunction that has not been well studied to date. We aimed to understand tissue-specific susceptibility to oxidative stress and tested how oxygen concentrations in the post-resuscitation setting would affect outcomes. Rats were resuscitated from 10 min of asphyxia CA. Mechanical ventilation was initiated at the beginning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We examined animals with or without CA, and those were further divided into the animals exposed to 100% oxygen (CA_Hypero) or those with 30% oxygen (CA_Normo) for 2 h after resuscitation. Biological and physiological parameters of the brain, heart, and lungs were assessed. The brain and lung functions were decreased after CA and resuscitation indicated by worse modified neurological score as compared to baseline (222 ± 33 vs. 500 ± 0, P < 0.05), and decreased PaO2 (20 min after resuscitation: 113 ± 9 vs. baseline: 128 ± 9 mmHg, P < 0.05) and increased airway pressure (2 h: 10.3 ± 0.3 vs. baseline: 8.1 ± 0.2 mmHg, P < 0.001), whereas the heart function measured by echocardiography did not show significant differences compared before and after CA (ejection fraction, 24 h: 77.9 ± 3.3% vs. baseline: 82.2 ± 1.9%, P = 0.2886; fractional shortening, 24 h: 42.9 ± 3.1% vs. baseline: 45.7 ± 1.9%, P = 0.4658). Likewise, increases of superoxide production in the brain and lungs were remarkable, while those in the heart were moderate. mRNA gene expression analysis revealed that CA_Hypero group had increases in Il1b as compared to CA_Normo group significantly in the brain (P < 0.01) and lungs (P < 0.001) but not the heart (P = 0.4848). Similarly, hyperoxia-induced increases in other inflammatory and apoptotic mRNA gene expression were observed in the brain, whereas no differences were found in the heart. Upon systemic IR injury initiated by asphyxia CA, hyperoxia-induced injury exacerbated inflammation/apoptosis signals in the brain and lungs but might not affect the heart. Hyperoxia following asphyxia CA is more damaging to the brain and lungs but not the heart.

DT-010 Exerts Cardioprotective Effects by Regulating the Crosstalk between the AMPK/PGC-1 α Pathway and ERp57. Cardiovasc Ther 2023; 2023:8047752. [PMID: 36817353 PMCID: PMC9937773 DOI: 10.1155/2023/8047752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) pathway performs a crucial role in energy metabolism and mitochondrial network. Our previous study found that DT-010, a novel danshensu (DSS) and tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) conjugate, had significant cardioprotective properties in vitro and in vivo. We also reported that ERp57 served as a major target of DSS using the chemical proteomics approach. In this article, we focus on exploring the interrelationship between the regulation of the AMPK/PGC-1α pathway and promoting ERp57 expression induced by DT-010 in tert-butylhydroperoxide- (t-BHP-) induced H9c2 cell injury. The results showed that DT-010 activated the AMPK/PGC-1α pathway and increased ERp57 protein expression. Importantly, the above phenomenon as well as the mitochondrial function can be partially reversed by siRNA-mediated ERp57 suppression. Meanwhile, silencing AMPK significantly inhibited the ERp57 expression induced by DT-010. In addition, molecular docking and kinase assay in vitro revealed that DT-010 had no direct regulation effects on AMPK activity. Taken together, DT-010 exerted cardioprotective effects by regulating the crosstalk of AMPK/PGC-1α pathway and ERp57, representing a potential therapeutic agent for ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
The development of status myoclonus (SM) in a postcardiac arrest patient has historically been thought of as indicative of not only a poor neurologic outcome but of neurologic devastation. In many instances, this may lead clinicians to initiate conversations about withdrawal of life sustaining therapies (WLST) regardless of the time from return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Recent studies showing a percentage of patients may make a good recovery has called into question whether a self-fulfilling prophecy has developed where the concern for a poor neurologic outcome leads clinicians to prematurely discuss WLST. The issue is only further complicated by changing terminology, lack of neuro-axis localization, and limited data regarding association with electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics, all of which could aid in the understanding of the severity of neurologic injury associated with SM. Here we review the initial literature reporting SM as indicative of poor neurologic outcome, the studies that call this into question, the various definitions of SM and related terms as well as data regarding association with EEG backgrounds. We propose that improved prognostication on outcomes results from combining the presence of SM with other clinical variables (eg EEG patterns, MRI findings, and clinical exam). We discuss the ethical implications of using SM as a prognostic tool and its impact on decisions about life-sustaining care in children following cardiac arrest. We advocate for prognostication efforts to be delayed for at least 72 hours following ROSC and thus to treat SM in those early hours and days.
