Abstract
Introduction Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers are essential for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival, however implementing high-performance CPR guidelines in developing EMS settings presents challenges. This study assessed the impact of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) initiatives on OHCA outcomes in a hospital-based EMS agency in Bangkok, Thailand. Methods A before-and-after study design was utilized, utilizing data from a prospective OHCA registry spanning 2019 to 2023. CQI interventions included low-dose high-frequency training in advanced airway management, high-performance CPR, and post-debriefing with video recording (VDO). Data collection encompassed patient characteristics, EMS management, and survival outcomes. Quality CPR metrics were assessed using the mobile defibrillator and CPR code review software. Statistical analyses compared outcomes between the pre-intervention period in 2019 and the post-full CQI implementation period in 2023. Results Among enrolled OHCA patients, with 88 cases occurring in 2019 and 91 cases in 2023. The bystander CPR rate was similar between both groups (47.73% in 2023 vs 53.85%, p = 0.413). In 2023, there was a significantly higher rate of prehospital intubation (93.40% vs 70.45%, p < 0.001) compared to 2019. Prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) improved from 30.68% to 49.45% (p = 0.012), with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 2.16 (95% CI: 1.14-4.07). Survival to discharge increased significantly from 2.27% in 2019 to 7.69% in 2023 (p = 0.27), with an aOR of 3.81 (95% CI: 0.46-31.79). Conclusion Tailored CQI initiatives in a developing EMS setting were significantly associated with improved prehospital ROSC but showed an insignificant increase in survival to discharge.

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.

Correlation between hospital rates of survival to discharge and long-term survival for in-hospital cardiac arrest: Insights from Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation registry. Resuscitation 2024; 202:110322. [PMID: 39029583 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2024.110322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
AIM Given challenges in collecting long-term outcomes for survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), most studies have focused on in-hospital survival. We evaluated the correlation between a hospital's risk-standardized survival rate (RSSR) at hospital discharge for IHCA with its RSSR for long-term survival. METHODS We identified patients ≥65 years of age with IHCA at 472 hospitals in Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation registry during 2000-2012, who could be linked to Medicare files to obtain post-discharge survival data. We constructed hierarchical logistic regression models to compute RSSR at discharge, and 30-day, 1-year, and 3-year RSSRs for each hospital. The association between in-hospital and long-term RSSR was evaluated with weighted Kappa coefficients. RESULTS Among 56,231 Medicare beneficiaries (age 77.2 ± 7.5 years and 25,206 [44.8%] women), 10,536 (18.7%) survived to discharge and 8,485 (15.1%) survived to 30 days after discharge. Median in-hospital, 30-day, 1-year, and 3-year RSSRs were 18.6% (IQR, 16.7-20.4%), 14.9% (13.2-16.7%), 10.3% (9.1-12.1%), and 7.6% (6.8-8.8%), respectively. The weighted Kappa coefficient for the association between a hospital's RSSR at discharge with its 30-day, 1-year, and 3-year RSSRs were 0.72 (95% CI, 0.68-0.76), 0.56 (0.50-0.61), and 0.47 (0.41-0.53), respectively. CONCLUSIONS There was a strong correlation between a hospital's RSSR at discharge and its 30-day RSSR for IHCA, although this correlation weakens over time. Our findings suggest that a hospital's RSSR at discharge for IHCA may be a reasonable surrogate of its 30-day post-discharge survival and could be used by Medicare to benchmark hospital performance for this condition without collecting 30-day survival data.

Early bolus epinephrine administration during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation for bradycardia with poor perfusion: an ICU-resuscitation study. Crit Care 2024; 28:242. [PMID: 39010134 PMCID: PMC11251231 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-05018-7] [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: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Half of pediatric in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) events have an initial rhythm of non-pulseless bradycardia with poor perfusion. Our study objectives were to leverage granular data from the ICU-RESUScitation (ICU-RESUS) trial to: (1) determine the association of early epinephrine administration with survival outcomes in children receiving CPR for bradycardia with poor perfusion; and (2) describe the incidence and time course of the development of pulselessness. METHODS Prespecified secondary analysis of ICU-RESUS, a multicenter cluster randomized trial of children (< 19 years) receiving CPR in 18 intensive care units in the United States. Index events (October 2016-March 2021) lasting ≥ 2 min with a documented initial rhythm of bradycardia with poor perfusion were included. Associations between early epinephrine (first 2 min of CPR) and outcomes were evaluated with Poisson multivariable regression controlling for a priori pre-arrest characteristics. Among patients with arterial lines, intra-arrest blood pressure waveforms were reviewed to determine presence of a pulse during CPR interruptions. The temporal nature of progression to pulselessness was described and outcomes were compared between patients according to subsequent pulselessness status. RESULTS Of 452 eligible subjects, 322 (71%) received early epinephrine. The early epinephrine group had higher pre-arrest severity of illness and vasoactive-inotrope scores. Early epinephrine was not associated with survival to discharge (aRR 0.97, 95%CI 0.82, 1.14) or survival with favorable neurologic outcome (aRR 0.99, 95%CI 0.82, 1.18). Among 186 patients with invasive blood pressure waveforms, 118 (63%) had at least 1 period of pulselessness during the first 10 min of CPR; 86 (46%) by 2 min and 100 (54%) by 3 min. Sustained return of spontaneous circulation was highest after bradycardia with poor perfusion (84%) compared to bradycardia with poor perfusion progressing to pulselessness (43%) and bradycardia with poor perfusion progressing to pulselessness followed by return to bradycardia with poor perfusion (62%) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of pediatric CPR events with an initial rhythm of bradycardia with poor perfusion, we failed to identify an association between early bolus epinephrine and outcomes when controlling for illness severity. Most children receiving CPR for bradycardia with poor perfusion developed subsequent pulselessness, 46% within 2 min of CPR onset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition requiring urgent medical care and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Given that in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is still poorly investigated, data on health-associated quality of life thereafter remains scarce. The available evidence is mostly transferred from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest studies, but the epidemiology and determinants of success might be different. The aim of the study was to investigate the change in the quality of life after in-hospital cardiac arrest and to identify potential risk factors for a poor outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective analysis of data and prospective evaluation of quality of life included all patients surviving an IHCA and being treated by the emergency medical team between 2010 and 2020. The primary endpoint of the study was the quality of life after IHCA at the reference date. Secondary endpoints covered determination of risk factors and predictors of poor outcome after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. RESULTS In total 604 patients were resuscitated within the period of 11 years and 61 (10%) patients survived until the interview took place. Finally, 48 (79%) patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and 31 (65%) were included in the study. There was no significant difference in the quality of life before and after cardiac arrest (EQ-5D-5L utility 0.79 vs. 0.78, p = 0.567) and in the EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale (VAS) score. CONCLUSION The quality of life before and after IHCA in survivors was good and comparable. The quality of life was mostly affected by reduced mobility and anxiety/depression. Future studies with larger patient samples should focus on potentially modifiable factors that could prevent, warn, and limit the consequences of in-hospital cardiac arrest. Moreover, research on outcomes of IHCA should include available tools for the quality of life assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to the Utstein Registry Template for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), a good neurological outcome is defined as either Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 1-2 at discharge from hospital or unchanged CPC compared to baseline. However, the latter alternative has rarely been described in IHCA. This study aimed to examine CPC at admission to hospital, the occurrence of post-arrest neurological deterioration, and the factors associated with such deterioration. METHODS We studied adult IHCA survivors registered in the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation between 2007 and 2022. The CPC was assessed based on information from admission and discharge from hospital. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and significance tests. RESULTS One in ten IHCA had a CPC score > 1 at admission to hospital. Out of 7,677 IHCA who survived until hospital discharge and had full CPC data, 6,774 (88%) had preserved CPC, 150 (2%) had improved CPC, and 753 (10%) had deteriorated CPC. Among the factors significantly associated with deteriorated neurological function are IHCA in a general ward or intensive care unit, non-shockable rhythm, no ECG surveillance, and a higher proportion of intra-arrest and post-resuscitation treatments (all p-values < 0,05). CONCLUSION Most patients had preserved neurological function compared to admission. Factors associated with deteriorated neurological function are mainly concordant with established risk factors for adverse outcomes and are primarily intra-arrest and post-resuscitation, making deterioration hard to predict. Further, every tenth survivor was admitted with CPC more than 1, stressing the use of unchanged CPC as an outcome in IHCA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data to support epinephrine dosing intervals during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are conflicting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between epinephrine dosing intervals and outcomes. We hypothesized that dosing intervals less than 3 minutes would be associated with improved neurologic survival compared with greater than or equal to 3 minutes. DESIGN This study is a secondary analysis of The ICU-RESUScitation Project (NCT028374497), a multicenter trial of a quality improvement bundle of physiology-directed CPR training and post-cardiac arrest debriefing. SETTING Eighteen PICUs and pediatric cardiac ICUs in the United States. PATIENTS Subjects were 18 years young or younger and 37 weeks old or older corrected gestational age who had an index cardiac arrest. Patients who received less than two doses of epinephrine, received extracorporeal CPR, or had dosing intervals greater than 8 minutes were excluded. INTERVENTIONS The primary exposure was an epinephrine dosing interval of less than 3 vs. greater than or equal to 3 minutes. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was survival to discharge with a favorable neurologic outcome defined as a Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score of 1-2 or no change from baseline. Regression models evaluated the association between dosing intervals and: 1) survival outcomes and 2) CPR duration. Among 382 patients meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, median age was 0.9 years (interquartile range 0.3-7.6 yr) and 45% were female. After adjustment for confounders, dosing intervals less than 3 minutes were not associated with survival with favorable neurologic outcome (adjusted relative risk [aRR], 1.10; 95% CI, 0.84-1.46; p = 0.48) but were associated with improved sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (aRR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.07-1.37; p < 0.01) and shorter CPR duration (adjusted effect estimate, -9.5 min; 95% CI, -14.4 to -4.84 min; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In patients receiving at least two doses of epinephrine, dosing intervals less than 3 minutes were not associated with neurologic outcome but were associated with sustained ROSC and shorter CPR duration.

J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open 2024; 5:e13189. [PMID: 38774259 PMCID: PMC11107878 DOI: 10.1002/emp2.13189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives Prior research indicates sex disparities in the incidence and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study investigates the presence of such differences in Salt Lake City, Utah. Methods We analyzed data from the Salt Lake City Fire Department (2008‒2023). We included adults with non-traumatic OHCA. We calculated the annual incidence of OHCA and examined sex-specific survival outcomes using multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for OHCA characteristics known to be associated with survival. Results The annual incidence of OHCA was 76 per 100,000 person-years. Among the 894 OHCA cases included in the analysis, 67.5% were males, 37.3% achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and 13.6% survived hospital discharge. Unadjusted analysis revealed that males had significantly higher OHCA in public locations (43.9% vs. 28.6%), witnessed arrests (54.5% vs. 47.8%), and shockable rhythms (33.3% vs. 22.9%). Males also showed higher rates of ROSC (37.5% vs. 36.9%), hospital discharge survival (14.5% vs. 11.7%), and neurologically intact survival. After adjusting for the OHCA characteristics, there was no significant differences between males and females in ROSC, survival to hospital discharge, and favorable neurological function with adjusted odds ratios (male vs. female) of 0.92 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.73‒1.16), 0.85 (95% CI 0.59‒1.22), and 0.92 (95% CI 0.62‒1.40), respectively. Conclusion Approximately, 128 adults suffer OHCA in Salt Lake City annually. Males initially showed higher crude survival rates, but after adjusting for OHCA characteristics, no significant sex differences in survival outcomes were found. Enhancing OHCA characteristics could benefit both sexes. Investigations into the relationship between sex- and region-specific factors influencing OHCA outcomes are needed.

Abstract
Background A defibrillator should be connected to all patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to allow early defibrillation. The defibrillator will collect signal data such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), thoracic impedance and end-tidal CO2, which allows for research on how patients demonstrate different responses to CPR. The aim of this review is to give an overview of methodological challenges and opportunities in using defibrillator data for research. Methods The successful collection of defibrillator files has several challenges. There is no scientific standard on how to store such data, which have resulted in several proprietary industrial solutions. The data needs to be exported to a software environment where signal filtering and classifications of ECG rhythms can be performed. This may be automated using different algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI). The patient can be classified being in ventricular fibrillation or -tachycardia, asystole, pulseless electrical activity or having obtained return of spontaneous circulation. How this dynamic response is time-dependent and related to covariates can be handled in several ways. These include Aalen's linear model, Weibull regression and joint models. Conclusions The vast amount of signal data from defibrillator represents promising opportunities for the use of AI and statistical analysis to assess patient response to CPR. This may provide an epidemiologic basis to improve resuscitation guidelines and give more individualized care. We suggest that an international working party is initiated to facilitate a discussion on how open formats for defibrillator data can be accomplished, that obligates industrial partners to further develop their current technological solutions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival differences due to sex remain controversial. Previous studies adjusted for prehospital variables, but not sex-based in-hospital management disparities. We aimed to investigate age and sex-related differences in survival outcomes in OHCA patients after adjustment for sex-based in-hospital management disparities. METHODS This retrospective observational study used a prospective multicenter OHCA registry to review data of patients from October 2015 to December 2020. The primary outcome was good neurological outcome defined as cerebral performance category score 1 or 2. We performed multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis according to age. RESULTS Totally, 8988 patients were analyzed. Women showed poorer prehospital characteristics and received fewer coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary interventions, targeted temperature management, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation than men. Good neurological outcomes were lower in women than in men (5.8% vs. 12.2%, p < 0.001). After adjustment for age, prehospital variables, and in-hospital management, women were more likely to have good neurological outcomes than men (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.74, p = 0.012). The restricted cubic spline curve showed a reverse sigmoid pattern of adjusted predicted probability of outcomes and dynamic associations of sex and age-based outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Women with OHCA were more likely to have good neurological outcome after adjusting for age, prehospital variables, and sex-based in-hospital management disparities. There were non-linear associations between sex and survival outcomes according to age and age-related sex-based differences.

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 Cardiac arrest is a serious complication of acute myocardial infarction. The implementation of contemporary approaches to acute myocardial infarction management, including urgent revascularization procedures, has led to significant improvements in short-term outcomes. However, the extent of post-discharge mortality in patients experiencing cardiac arrest during acute myocardial infarction remains uncertain. This study aimed to determine the post-discharge outcomes of patients with cardiac arrest. Methods We analysed data from the J-PCI OUTCOME registry, a Japanese prospectively planed, observational, multicentre, national registry of percutaneous coronary intervention involving consecutive patients from 172 institutions who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and were discharged. Patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction between January 2017 and December 2018 and survived for 30 days were included. Mortality in patients with and without cardiac arrest from 30 days to 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction was compared. Results Of the 26,909 patients who survived for 30 days after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction, 1,567 (5.8%) had cardiac arrest at the onset of acute myocardial infarction. Patients with cardiac arrest were younger and more likely to be males than patients without cardiac arrest. The 1-year all-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with cardiac arrest than in those without (11.9% vs. 2.8%, p < 0.001) for all age groups. Multivariable analysis showed that cardiac arrest was an independent predictor of all-cause long-term mortality (hazard ratio: 2.94; 95% confidence interval: 2.29-3.76). Conclusions Patients with acute myocardial infarction and concomitant cardiac arrest have a worse prognosis for up to 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention than patients without cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Survival rates after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have improved over the past two decades. Despite this progress, long-term cognitive impairment remains prevalent even in those with early recovery of consciousness after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; however, little is known about the determinants and underlying mechanisms. We utilized the REcovery after cardiac arrest surVIVAL cohort of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors who fully regained consciousness to correlate cognition measurements with brain network changes using resting-state functional MRI and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment at hospital discharge and a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment at three-month follow-up. About half of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors displayed cognitive impairments at discharge, and in most, cognitive deficits persisted at three-month follow-up, particularly in the executive and visuospatial functions. Compared to healthy controls, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors exhibited increased connectivity between resting-state networks, particularly involving the frontoparietal network. The increased connectivity between the frontoparietal and visual networks was associated with less favourable cognitive outcomes (β = 14.0, P = 0.01), while higher education seemed to confer some cognitive protection (β = -2.06, P = 0.03). In sum, the data highlight the importance of subtle cognitive impairment, also in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors who are eligible for home discharge, and the potential of functional MRI to identify alterations in brain networks correlating with cognitive outcomes.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE A recent study showed an association between high hospital-level noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) use and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in children with bronchiolitis. OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine if patient-level exposure to NIPPV in children with bronchiolitis was associated with IHCA. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective cohort study at a single-center quaternary PICU in North America including children with International Classification of Diseases primary or secondary diagnoses of bronchiolitis in the Virtual Pediatric Systems database. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary exposure was NIPPV and the primary outcome was IHCA. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 4698 eligible ICU admissions with bronchiolitis diagnoses, IHCA occurred in 1.2% (57/4698). At IHCA onset, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was the most frequent level of respiratory support (65%, 37/57), with 12% (7/57) receiving NIPPV. Patients with IHCA had higher Pediatric Risk of Mortality-III scores (3 [0-8] vs. 0 [0-2]; p < 0.001), more frequently had a complex chronic condition (94.7% vs. 46.2%; p < 0.001), and had higher mortality (21.1% vs. 1.0%; p < 0.001) compared with patients without IHCA. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved in 93% (53/57) of IHCAs; 79% (45/57) survived to hospital discharge. All seven children without chronic medical conditions and with active bronchiolitis symptoms at the time of IHCA achieved ROSC, and 86% (6/7) survived to discharge. In multivariable analysis restricted to patients receiving NIPPV or IMV, NIPPV exposure was associated with lower odds of IHCA (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.07; 95% CI, 0.03-0.18) compared with IMV. In secondary analysis evaluating categorical respiratory support in all patients, compared with IMV, NIPPV was associated with lower odds of IHCA (aOR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.14-0.87), whereas no difference was found for minimal respiratory support (none/nasal cannula/humidified high-flow nasal cannula [aOR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.23-1.36]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Cardiac arrest in children with bronchiolitis is uncommon, occurring in 1.2% of bronchiolitis ICU admissions. NIPPV use in children with bronchiolitis was associated with lower odds of IHCA.

Neurological outcomes in traffic accidents: A propensity score matching analysis of medical and non-medical origin cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Am J Emerg Med 2024; 78:176-181. [PMID: 38290196 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2024.01.028] [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: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to comprehensively compare the characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with medical and non-medical origins attributed to traffic accidents and explore the potential association between the cases with a medical origin and neurologically favorable outcomes. METHODS In this retrospective nationwide population-based study, baseline data were collected between January 2018 and December 2020. We analyzed 5091 OHCA associated with traffic accidents on the road scene. Only those encounters involving treatment or transport by prehospital emergency medical technicians were included. The characteristics of OHCA incidents and their outcomes were analyzed by categorizing patients into "medical origin" and "non-medical origin" groups. RESULTS Medical-origin cases exhibited several distinct characteristics, including higher frequencies of occurrence during the daytime (79.3% [706/890] vs. 68.9% [2895/4201], p < 0.001), a higher prevalence among male (77.8% [692/890] vs. 68.3% [2871/4201], p < 0.001) and younger patients (median [25-75%]: 63 years [42-77] vs. 66 years [50-76], p = 0.003), a higher proportion of shockable initial rhythms(10.5% [93/890] vs. 1.1% [45/4201], p < 0.001), an increased number of cases requiring advanced airway management (33.8% [301/890] vs. 28.5% [1199/4201], p = 0.002) and adrenaline administration by emergency medical teams (26.9% [239/890] vs. 21.7% [910/4201], p < 0.001), and shorter transport times (55.3% [492/890] vs. 60.9% [2558/4201], p = 0.002) compared to non-medical-origin cases. However, medical-origin cases also had lower witness rates (42.8% [381/890] vs. 27.2% [1142/4201], p < 0.001) and were less likely to be transported to higher-level hospitals (55.3% [492/890] vs. 60.9% [2558/4201], p = 0.002). Propensity score matching analysis identified factors associated with favorable neurological outcomes in medical-origin traffic accidents. The adjusted odds ratios were as follows: 8.46 (3.47-20.61) for cases with shockable initial rhythms, 2.36 (1.01-5.52) for cases involving traffic accidents due to medical origin, and 0.09 (0.01-0.67) for cases where advanced airway management was provided. CONCLUSION In this retrospective study, the occurrence of OHCAs of medical origin involving traffic accidents were associated with favorable neurological outcomes. These cases more frequently demonstrated favorable factors for survival compared to those classified as of non-medical origin. The findings have important implications for public health and EMS professionals, they will guide future research aimed at optimizing prehospital care strategies and improving survival rates for similar cases.

[PMID: 38331344 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2024.110134] [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: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival in cardiac arrest is associated with rapid initiation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced life support. To improve ROSC rates and survival, we identified the need to reduce response times and implement coordinated resuscitation by dedicated cardiac arrest teams (CATs). We aimed to improve ROSC rates by 10% within 6 months, and subsequent survival to hospital discharge. METHODS We used the Model for Improvement to implement a ward-based cardiac arrest quality improvement (QI) initiative across 3 Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles. QI interventions focused on instituting dedicated CATs and resuscitation equipment, staff training, communications, audit framework, performance feedback, as well as a cardiac arrest documentation form. The primary outcome was the rate of ROSC, and the secondary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Process measures were call center processing times, CAT response times and CAT nurses' knowledge and confidence regarding CPR. Balancing measures were the number of non-cardiac arrest activations and the number of cardiac arrest activations in patients with existing do-not-resuscitate orders. RESULTS After adjustments for possible confounders in the multivariate analysis, there was a significant improvement in ROSC rate post-intervention as compared to the pre-intervention period (OR 2.05 [1.04-4.05], p = 0.04). Median (IQR) call center processing times decreased from 1.8 (1.6-2.0) pre-intervention to 1.4 (1.4-1.6) minutes post-intervention (p = 0.03). Median (IQR) CAT response times decreased from 5.1 (4.5-7.0) pre-intervention to 3.6 (3.4-4.3) minutes post-intervention (p < 0.001). After adjustments for possible confounders in the multivariate analysis, there was no significant improvement in survival to hospital discharge post-intervention as compared to the pre-intervention period (OR 0.71 [0.25-2.06], p = 0.53). CONCLUSION Implementation of a ward-based cardiac arrest QI initiative resulted in an improvement in ROSC rates, median call center and CAT response times.

Abstract
To elucidate the relationship between the interval from cardiopulmonary resuscitation initiation to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and neurologically favourable 1-month survival in order to determine the appropriate duration of basic life support (BLS) without advanced interventions. This population-based cohort study included patients aged ≥ 18 years with 9132 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of presumed cardiac origin who were bystander-witnessed and had achieved ROSC between 2018 and 2020. Patients were classified into two groups based on the resuscitation methods as the "BLS-only" and the "BLS with administered epinephrine (BLS-AE)" groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that administering BLS for 9 min yielded the best neurologically outcome for patients with a shockable rhythm [sensitivity, 0.42; specificity, 0.27; area under the ROC curve (AUC), 0.60] in the BLS-only group. Contrastingly, for patients with a non-shockable rhythm, performing BLS for 6 min yielded the best neurologically outcome (sensitivity, 0.65; specificity, 0.43; AUC, 0.63). After propensity score matching, multivariate analysis revealed that BLS-only resuscitation [6.44 (5.34-7.77)] was associated with neurologically favourable 1-month survival. This retrospective study revealed that BLS-only intervention had a significant impact in the initial minutes following CPR initiation. Nevertheless, its effectiveness markedly declined thereafter. The optimal duration for effective BLS-only intervention varied depending on the patient's initial rhythm. Consequently, advanced interventions should be administered within the first few minutes to counteract the diminishing effectiveness of BLS-only intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines in treatment of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) have been associated with favourable patient outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate if compliance with initial CPR guidelines and patient outcome of witnessed IHCA events were associated with the place of arrest defined as monitored versus non-monitored ward. METHODS A total of 956 witnessed IHCA events in adult patients at six hospitals during 2018 to 2019, were extracted from the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Initial CPR guidelines were: ≤1 min from collapse to alert of the rapid response team, ≤1 min from collapse to start of CPR, ≤3 min from collapse to defibrillation of shockable rhythm. RESULTS The odds of compliance with guidelines was higher on monitored wards vs non-monitored wards, even after adjustment for factors that could affect staffing and resources. The place of arrest was not a significant factor for sustained return of spontaneous circulation, survival at 30 days, or neurological status at discharge, when adjusting for clinically relevant confounders. Compliance with initial CPR guidelines remained a significant factor for survival to 30 days and favourable neurological outcome at discharge regardless of other confounders. CONCLUSION Compliance with initial CPR guidelines was higher in witnessed IHCA events on monitored wards than on non-monitored wards, which indicates that healthcare professionals in monitored wards are quicker to recognize a cardiac arrest and initiate treatment. When initial CPR guidelines are followed, the place of arrest does not influence patient outcome.

Abstract
Introduction Self-perceived health status data is usually collected using patient-reported outcome measures. Information from the patients' perspective is one of the important components in planning person-centred care. The study aimed to compare EQ-5D-5L in survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with data for Norwegian population controls. Secondary aim included comparing characteristics of respondents and non-respondents from the OHCA population. Methods In this cross-sectional survey, 714 OHCA survivors received an electronic EQ-5D-5L questionnaire 3-6 months following OHCA. EQ-5D-5L assesses for five dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) with five-point descriptive scales and overall health on a visual analogue scale from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) (EQ VAS). Results are used to calculate the EQ index ranging from -0.59 (worst) to 1 (best). Patient responses were matched for age and sex with existing data from controls, collected through a postal survey (response rate 26%), and compared with Chi-square tests or t-tests as appropriate. Results Of 784 OHCA survivors, 714 received the EQ-5D-5L, and 445 (62%) responded. Respondents had higher rates of shockable first rhythm and better cerebral performance category scores than the non-respondents. OHCA survivors reported poorer health compared to controls as assessed by EQ-5D-5L dimensions, the EQ index (0.76 ± 0.24 vs 0.82 ± 0.18), and EQ VAS (69 ± 21 vs 79 ± 17), except for the pain/discomfort dimension. Conclusions Norwegian OHCA survivors reported poorer health than the general population as assessed by the EQ-5D-5L. PROMs use in this population can be used to inform follow-up and health care delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA guidelines for the management of heart failure (HF) makes therapeutic recommendations based on HF status. We investigated whether the prognosis of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) could be stratified by HF stage and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS This single-center retrospective study analyzed the data of patients who experienced IHCA between 2005 and 2020. Based on admission diagnosis, past medical records, and pre-arrest echocardiography, patients were classified into general IHCA, at-risk for HF, pre-HF, HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction or HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF-or-HFrEF) groups. RESULTS This study included 2,466 patients, including 485 (19.7%), 546 (22.1%), 863 (35.0%), 342 (13.9%), and 230 (9.3%) patients with general IHCA, at-risk for HF, pre-HF, HFpEF, and HFmrEF-or-HFrEF, respectively. A total of 405 (16.4%) patients survived to hospital discharge, with 228 (9.2%) patients achieving favorable neurological recovery. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that pre-HF and HFpEF were associated with better neurological (pre-HF, OR: 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23-3.61, p = 0.006; HFpEF, OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.00-3.61, p = 0.05) and survival outcomes (pre-HF, OR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.34-2.97, p < 0.001; HFpEF, OR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.20-3.05, p = 0.007), compared with general IHCA. CONCLUSION HF stage and LVEF could stratify patients with IHCA into different prognoses. Pre-HF and HFpEF were significantly associated with favorable neurological and survival outcomes after IHCA. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether HF status-directed management could improve IHCA outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The stress hyperglycaemic ratio (SHR), a new marker that reflects the true hyperglycaemic state of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), is strongly associated with adverse clinical outcomes in these patients. Studies on the relationship between the SHR and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) incidence are limited. This study elucidated the relationship between the SHR and incidence of IHCA in patients with ACS. METHODS In total, 1,939 patients with ACS who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University were included. They were divided into three groups according to the SHR: group T1 (SHR ≤ 0.838, N = 646), group T2 (0.838< SHR ≤ 1.140, N = 646), and group T3 (SHR3 > 1.140, N = 647). The primary endpoint was IHCA incidence. RESULTS The overall IHCA incidence was 4.1% (N = 80). After adjusting for covariates, SHR was significantly associated with IHCA incidence in patients with ACS who underwent PCI (odds ratio [OR] = 2.6800; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.6200-4.4300; p<0.001), and compared with the T1 group, the T3 group had an increased IHCA risk (OR = 2.1800; 95% CI = 1.2100-3.9300; p = 0.0090). In subgroup analyses, after adjusting for covariates, patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (OR = 3.0700; 95% CI = 1.4100-6.6600; p = 0.0050) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) (OR = 2.9900; 95% CI = 1.1000-8.1100; p = 0.0310) were at an increased IHCA risk. After adjusting for covariates, IHCA risk was higher in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR = 2.5900; 95% CI = 1.4200-4.7300; p = 0.0020) and those without DM (non-DM) (OR = 3.3000; 95% CI = 1.2700-8.5800; p = 0.0140); patients with DM in the T3 group had an increased IHCA risk compared with those in the T1 group (OR = 2.4200; 95% CI = 1.0800-5.4300; p = 0.0320). The restriction cubic spline (RCS) analyses revealed a dose-response relationship between IHCA incidence and SHR, with an increased IHCA risk when SHR was higher than 1.773. Adding SHR to the baseline risk model improved the predictive value of IHCA in patients with ACS treated with PCI (net reclassification improvement [NRI]: 0.0734 [0.0058-0.1409], p = 0.0332; integrated discrimination improvement [IDI]: 0.0218 [0.0063-0.0374], p = 0.0060). CONCLUSIONS In patients with ACS treated with PCI, the SHR was significantly associated with the incidence of IHCA. The SHR may be a useful predictor of the incidence of IHCA in patients with ACS. The addition of the SHR to the baseline risk model had an incremental effect on the predictive value of IHCA in patients with ACS treated with PCI.

Duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and outcomes for adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest: retrospective cohort study. BMJ 2024; 384:e076019.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify time dependent probabilities of outcomes in patients after in-hospital cardiac arrest as a function of duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defined as the interval between start of chest compression and the first return of spontaneous circulation or termination of resuscitation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Multicenter prospective in-hospital cardiac arrest registry in the United States. PARTICIPANTS 348 996 adult patients (≥18 years) with an index in-hospital cardiac arrest who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation from 2000 through 2021. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Survival to hospital discharge and favorable functional outcome at hospital discharge, defined as a cerebral performance category score of 1 (good cerebral performance) or 2 (moderate cerebral disability). Time dependent probabilities of subsequently surviving to hospital discharge or having favorable functional outcome if patients pending the first return of spontaneous circulation at each minute received further cardiopulmonary resuscitation beyond the time point were estimated, assuming that all decisions on termination of resuscitation were accurate (that is, all patients with termination of resuscitation would have invariably failed to survive if cardiopulmonary resuscitation had continued for a longer period of time). RESULTS Among 348 996 included patients, 233 551 (66.9%) achieved return of spontaneous circulation with a median interval of 7 (interquartile range 3-13) minutes between start of chest compressions and first return of spontaneous circulation, whereas 115 445 (33.1%) patients did not achieve return of spontaneous circulation with a median interval of 20 (14-30) minutes between start of chest compressions and termination of resuscitation. 78 799 (22.6%) patients survived to hospital discharge. The time dependent probabilities of survival and favorable functional outcome among patients pending return of spontaneous circulation at one minute's duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation were 22.0% (75 645/343 866) and 15.1% (49 769/328 771), respectively. The probabilities decreased over time and were <1% for survival at 39 minutes and <1% for favorable functional outcome at 32 minutes' duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. CONCLUSIONS This analysis of a large multicenter registry of in-hospital cardiac arrest quantified the time dependent probabilities of patients' outcomes in each minute of duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The findings provide resuscitation teams, patients, and their surrogates with insights into the likelihood of favorable outcomes if patients pending the first return of spontaneous circulation continue to receive further cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Incidence and case ascertainment of treated in-hospital cardiac arrest events in a national quality registry - A comparison of reported and non-reported events. Resuscitation 2024; 195:110119. [PMID: 38244762 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2024.110119] [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: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 2500 in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) events are reported annually to the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (SRCR) with an estimated incidence of 1.7/1000 hospital admissions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the compliance in reporting IHCA events to the SRCR and to compare reported IHCA events with possible non-reported events, and to estimate IHCA incidence. METHODS Fifteen diagnose codes, eight Classification of Care Measure codes, and two perioperative complication codes were used to find all treated IHCAs in 2018-2019 at six hospitals of varying sizes and resources. All identified IHCA events were cross-checked against the SRCR using personal identity numbers. All non-reported IHCA events were retrospectively reported and compared with the prospectively reported events. RESULTS A total of 3638 hospital medical records were reviewed and 1109 IHCA events in 999 patients were identified, with 254 of the events not found in the SRCR. The case completeness was 77% (range 55-94%). IHCA incidence was 2.9/1000 hospital admissions and 12.4/1000 admissions to intensive care units. The retrospectively reported events were more often found on monitored wards, involved patients who were younger, had less comorbidity, were often found in shockable rhythm and more often achieved sustained spontaneous circulation, compared with in prospectively reported events. CONCLUSION IHCA case completeness in the SRCR was 77% and IHCA incidence was 2.9/1000 hospital admissions. The retrospectively reported IHCA events were found in monitored areas where the rapid response team was not alerted, which might have affected regular reporting procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supported by laboratory and clinical investigations of adult cardiopulmonary arrest, resuscitation guidelines recommend monitoring end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) as an indicator of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality, but they note that "specific values to guide therapy have not been established in children." METHODS This prospective observational cohort study was a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-funded ancillary study of children in the ICU-RESUS trial (Intensive Care Unit-Resuscitation Project; NCT02837497). Hospitalized children (≤18 years of age and ≥37 weeks postgestational age) who received chest compressions of any duration for cardiopulmonary arrest, had an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube at the start of CPR, and evaluable intra-arrest ETCO2 data were included. The primary exposure was event-level average ETCO2 during the first 10 minutes of CPR (dichotomized as ≥20 mm Hg versus <20 mm Hg on the basis of adult literature). The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes were sustained return of spontaneous circulation, survival to discharge with favorable neurological outcome, and new morbidity among survivors. Poisson regression measured associations between ETCO2 and outcomes as well as the association between ETCO2 and other CPR characteristics: (1) invasively measured systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and (2) CPR quality and chest compression mechanics metrics (ie, time to CPR start; chest compression rate, depth, and fraction; ventilation rate). RESULTS Among 234 included patients, 133 (57%) had an event-level average ETCO2 ≥20 mm Hg. After controlling for a priori covariates, average ETCO2 ≥20 mm Hg was associated with a higher incidence of survival to hospital discharge (86/133 [65%] versus 48/101 [48%]; adjusted relative risk, 1.33 [95% CI, 1.04-1.69]; P=0.023) and return of spontaneous circulation (95/133 [71%] versus 59/101 [58%]; adjusted relative risk, 1.22 [95% CI, 1.00-1.49]; P=0.046) compared with lower values. ETCO2 ≥20 mm Hg was not associated with survival with favorable neurological outcome or new morbidity among survivors. Average 2 ≥20 mm Hg was associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures during CPR, lower CPR ventilation rates, and briefer pre-CPR arrest durations compared with lower values. Chest compression rate, depth, and fraction did not differ between ETCO2 groups. CONCLUSIONS In this multicenter study of children with in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest, ETCO2 ≥20 mm Hg was associated with better outcomes and higher intra-arrest blood pressures, but not with chest compression quality metrics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess associations between outcome and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in children with medical cardiac, surgical cardiac, or noncardiac disease. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a multicenter cluster randomized trial, the ICU-RESUScitation Project (NCT02837497, 2016-2021). SETTING Eighteen PICUs. PATIENTS Children less than or equal to 18 years old and greater than or equal to 37 weeks postconceptual age receiving chest compressions (CC) of any duration during the study. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 1,100 children with IHCA, there were 273 medical cardiac (25%), 383 surgical cardiac (35%), and 444 noncardiac (40%) cases. Favorable neurologic outcome was defined as no more than moderate disability or no worsening from baseline Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category at discharge. The medical cardiac group had lower odds of survival with favorable neurologic outcomes compared with the noncardiac group (48% vs 55%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR] [95% CI], aOR 0.59 [95% CI, 0.39-0.87], p = 0.008) and surgical cardiac group (48% vs 58%; aOR 0.64 [95% CI, 0.45-0.9], p = 0.01). We failed to identify a difference in favorable outcomes between surgical cardiac and noncardiac groups. We also failed to identify differences in CC rate, CC fraction, ventilation rate, intra-arrest average target diastolic or systolic blood pressure between medical cardiac versus noncardiac, and surgical cardiac versus noncardiac groups. The surgical cardiac group had lower odds of achieving target CC depth compared to the noncardiac group (OR 0.15 [95% CI, 0.02-0.52], p = 0.001). We failed to identify a difference in the percentage of patients achieving target CC depth when comparing medical cardiac versus noncardiac groups. CONCLUSIONS In pediatric IHCA, medical cardiac patients had lower odds of survival with favorable neurologic outcomes compared with noncardiac and surgical cardiac patients. We failed to find differences in CPR quality between medical cardiac and noncardiac patients, but there were lower odds of achieving target CC depth in surgical cardiac compared to noncardiac patients.

Abstract
Background Lung ultrasound score (LUS) is a clinical index used to measure lung injury, but its clinical value in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) remains relatively unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value of LUS in patients after CPR. Methods This retrospective study included a total of 34 patients older than 18 years with a nontraumatic cause of in-hospital cardiac arrest, who received standard resuscitation and achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). All patients underwent bedside lung ultrasound examination within half an hour once ROSC was achieved, and LUSs were calculated. The study included patient death as the endpoint event. Results Compared with the group with lower LUSs, the patients with higher LUSs had a lower oxygenation index, longer duration of CPR, and lower 72 h survival rate. The initial LUS had good clinical value in predicting the secondary outcomes of CPR (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.353, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.018-1.797, and P = 0.037) and 72 h survival rate of patients who underwent CPR (aOR: 1.145, 95% CI: 1.014-1.294, and P = 0.029). Conclusions LUS was shown to be helpful and had a prognostic value in patients after CPR.

J Med Internet Res 2023; 25:e48244. [PMID: 38133922 PMCID: PMC10770782 DOI: 10.2196/48244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest (CA) is the leading cause of death in critically ill patients. Clinical research has shown that early identification of CA reduces mortality. Algorithms capable of predicting CA with high sensitivity have been developed using multivariate time series data. However, these algorithms suffer from a high rate of false alarms, and their results are not clinically interpretable. OBJECTIVE We propose an ensemble approach using multiresolution statistical features and cosine similarity-based features for the timely prediction of CA. Furthermore, this approach provides clinically interpretable results that can be adopted by clinicians. METHODS Patients were retrospectively analyzed using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database and the eICU Collaborative Research Database. Based on the multivariate vital signs of a 24-hour time window for adults diagnosed with heart failure, we extracted multiresolution statistical and cosine similarity-based features. These features were used to construct and develop gradient boosting decision trees. Therefore, we adopted cost-sensitive learning as a solution. Then, 10-fold cross-validation was performed to check the consistency of the model performance, and the Shapley additive explanation algorithm was used to capture the overall interpretability of the proposed model. Next, external validation using the eICU Collaborative Research Database was performed to check the generalization ability. RESULTS The proposed method yielded an overall area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.86 and area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) of 0.58. In terms of the timely prediction of CA, the proposed model achieved an AUROC above 0.80 for predicting CA events up to 6 hours in advance. The proposed method simultaneously improved precision and sensitivity to increase the AUPRC, which reduced the number of false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity. This result indicates that the predictive performance of the proposed model is superior to the performances of the models reported in previous studies. Next, we demonstrated the effect of feature importance on the clinical interpretability of the proposed method and inferred the effect between the non-CA and CA groups. Finally, external validation was performed using the eICU Collaborative Research Database, and an AUROC of 0.74 and AUPRC of 0.44 were obtained in a general intensive care unit population. CONCLUSIONS The proposed framework can provide clinicians with more accurate CA prediction results and reduce false alarm rates through internal and external validation. In addition, clinically interpretable prediction results can facilitate clinician understanding. Furthermore, the similarity of vital sign changes can provide insights into temporal pattern changes in CA prediction in patients with heart failure-related diagnoses. Therefore, our system is sufficiently feasible for routine clinical use. In addition, regarding the proposed CA prediction system, a clinically mature application has been developed and verified in the future digital health field.

Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med 2023; 31:107. [PMID: 38129908 PMCID: PMC10740259 DOI: 10.1186/s13049-023-01171-0] [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: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients dead before arrival of the ambulance or before arrival at hospital may be in- or excluded in mortality analyses, making comparison of mortality difficult. Often only physicians are allowed to declare death, thereby impeding uniform registration of prehospital death. Many studies do not report detailed definitions of prehospital mortality. Our aim was to define criteria to identify and categorize prehospital patients' vital status, and to estimate the proportion of these groups, primarily the proportion of patients dead on ambulance arrival. METHODS Prehospital medical records review for patients receiving an ambulance in the North Denmark Region from 2019 to 2021 and registered dead on the same or the following day. We defined three vital status categories: (1) Dead on Ambulance Arrival (DOAA), (2) Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) divided into OHCA Basic Life Support (OHCA BLS) and OHCA Advanced treatment, and 3) Alive on Ambulance Arrival. RESULTS Among 3 174 dead patients, DOAA constituted 28.8%, OHCA BLS 13.4%, OHCA Advanced treatment 31.3%, and Alive on Ambulance Arrival 26.6%. CONCLUSION We defined exhaustive and mutually exclusive criteria to define vital status, DOAA, OHCA, and Alive on Ambulance Arrival based on prehospital medical records. More than one out of four patients receiving an ambulance and registered dead on the same or the following day were dead already at ambulance arrival. Adding OHCA BLS where resuscitation was terminated without defibrillation or other treatment, increased the proportion of patients dead on ambulance arrival to 42%. We recommend reporting similar categories of vital status to improve valid comparisons of prehospital mortality rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Point-of-care testing (POCT) provides real time information to the clinical team, leading to early diagnosis and treatment. Whether POCT plays a role in improving outcomes in patients with out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains unknown. The objective of this study was to describe use of POCT in OHCA and to explore its association with outcomes. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review on patients transferred by emergency medical services (EMS) to the ED for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in 2019. Data collected from patient charts included baseline information, the Utstein criteria for cardiac arrest, whether POCT was used, whether POCT was abnormal, and what treatment was given, if any, as a result of the abnormal POCT. Outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge. Outcomes in patients with and without POCT were compared using chi-square and t-tests. RESULTS There were 119 study patients. Their mean (SD) age was 65 (18) years and 65% were male. Cardiac arrest was witnessed in 48% and initial rhythm was asystole in 66%. The rates of ROSC and survival were 22.7% (95%CI, 16.1-31.1) and 3.4% (95%CI, 1.3-8.3). POCT was used in 66 patients (55.4%; 95%CI, 46.5-64.1) all of whom had at least one abnormality. The results of POCT led to administration of a therapy in 60 patients (91.0%; 95%CI, 81.6-95.8). The rates of ROSC in patients with and without POCT were 22.6% vs 22.7% respectively. The rates of survival to discharge in patients with and without POCT were 0% vs 3.8% respectively. CONCLUSIONS POCT is commonly used in the ED for patients with OHCA and its results often lead to changes in therapies. However, use of POCT was not associated with ROSC or survival to discharge.

Abstract
Background Evolving research on resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) as an adjunct treatment for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest mandates uniform recording and reporting of data. A consensus on which variables need to be collected may enable comparing and merging data from different studies. We aimed to establish a standard set of variables to be collected and reported in future REBOA studies in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods A four-round stepwise Delphi consensus process first asked experts to propose without restraint variables for future REBOA research in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The experts then reviewed the variables on a 5-point Likert scale and ≥75% agreement was defined as consensus. First authors of published papers on REBOA in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest over the last five years were invited to join the expert panel. Results The data were collected between May 2022 and December 2022. A total of 28 experts out of 34 primarily invited completed the Delphi process, which developed a set of 31 variables that might be considered as a supplement to the Utstein style reporting of research in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Conclusions This Delphi consensus process suggested 31 variables that enable future uniform reporting of REBOA in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Objectives Prediction models for the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with cardiac arrest play an important role in helping physicians evaluate the survival probability and providing medical decision-making reference. Although relevant models have been developed, their methodological rigor and model applicability are still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to summarize the evidence for ROSC prediction models and provide a reference for the development, validation, and application of ROSC prediction models. Methods PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Elsevier, Web of Science, SpringerLink, Ovid, CNKI, Wanfang, and SinoMed were systematically searched for studies on ROSC prediction models. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to August 30, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted the data. The PROBAST was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature. Results A total of 8 relevant prediction models were included, and 6 models reported the AUC of 0.662-0.830 in the modeling population, which showed good overall applicability but high risk of bias. The main reasons were improper handling of missing values and variable screening, lack of external validation of the model, and insufficient information of overfitting. Age, gender, etiology, initial heart rhythm, EMS arrival time/BLS intervention time, location, bystander CPR, witnessed during sudden arrest, and ACLS duration/compression duration were the most commonly included predictors. Obvious chest injury, body temperature below 33°C, and possible etiologies were predictive factors for ROSC failure in patients with TOHCA. Age, gender, initial heart rhythm, reason for the hospital visit, length of hospital stay, and the location of occurrence in hospital were the predictors of ROSC in IHCA patients. Conclusion The performance of current ROSC prediction models varies greatly and has a high risk of bias, which should be selected with caution. Future studies can further optimize and externally validate the existing models.

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.

Association between post-cardiac arrest treatments and clinical outcomes according to scene time interval in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Am J Emerg Med 2023; 72:27-33. [PMID: 37467557 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2023.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported that Post-Cardiac arrest (PCA) treatments including targeted temperature management (TTM), coronary reperfusion therapy (CRT), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are time-sensitive; however, there are no reports of the clinical outcomes of PCA treatment according to the scene time interval (STI). Our study aimed to investigated the clinical outcomes of PCA treatment according to the STI. METHODS We used a Korean nationwide OHCA cohort database from January 2017 to December 2020. The inclusion criteria were all adult OHCA patients with a presumed cardiac etiology, bystander-witnessed arrest, and prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The outcomes were survival to discharge and good neurological recovery. The main exposure of interest was PCA treatment. We compared the outcomes using multivariable logistic regression, and interaction terms were included in the final model to assess whether the STI modified the effect of PCA treatment on clinical outcomes of OHCA. RESULTS TTM and CRT were associated with high survival to discharge and good neurological recovery. In the interaction analysis, ECMO had an interaction effect with the STI on a good CPC among patients with OHCA [short STI (0 to 11 min) (1.16 (0.77-1.75)), middle STI (12 to 15 min) (0.66 (0.41-1.06)), and long STI (16 to 30 min) (0.59 (0.40-0.88)) (p for interaction <0.05)]. CONCLUSION In adult bystander-witnessed patients with OHCA with prehospital ROSC, an STI of >16 min was a risk factor for poor neurological outcome in those patients who underwent ECMO.

Abstract
Monitoring physiological waveforms, specifically hemodynamic variables (e.g., blood pressure waveforms) and end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2), during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been demonstrated to improve survival rates and outcomes when compared to standard depth-guided CPR. However, waveform guidance has largely been based on thresholds for single parameters and therefore does not leverage all the information contained in multimodal data. We hypothesize that the combination of multimodal physiological features improves the prediction of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), the clinical indicator of short-term CPR success. We used machine learning algorithms to evaluate features extracted from eight low-resolution (4 samples per minute) physiological waveforms to predict ROSC. The waveforms were acquired from the 2nd to 10th minute of CPR in pediatric swine models of cardiac arrest (N = 89, 8-12 kg). The waveforms were divided into segments with increasing length (both forward and backward) for feature extraction, and machine learning algorithms were trained for ROSC prediction. For the full CPR period (2nd to 10th minute), the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.87-0.99) for the multivariate model, 0.70 (0.55-0.85) for EtCO2 and 0.80 (0.67-0.93) for coronary perfusion pressure. The best prediction performances were achieved when the period from the 6th to the 10th minute was included. Poor predictions were observed for some individual waveforms, e.g., right atrial pressure. In conclusion, multimodal waveform features carry relevant information for ROSC prediction. Using multimodal waveform features in CPR guidance has the potential to improve resuscitation success and reduce mortality.

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 Develop a novel, physiology-based measurement of duty cycle (Arterial Blood Pressure-Area Duty Cycle [ABP-ADC]) and evaluate the association of ABP-ADC with intra-arrest hemodynamics and patient outcomes. METHODS This was a secondary retrospective study of prospectively collected data from the ICU-RESUS trial (NCT02837497). Invasive arterial waveform data were used to derive ABP-ADC. The primary exposure was ABP-ADC group (<30%; 30-35%; >35%). The primary outcome was systolic blood pressure (sBP). Secondary outcomes included intra-arrest physiologic goals, CPR quality targets, and patient outcomes. In an exploratory analysis, adjusted splines and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine an optimal ABP-ADC associated with improved hemodynamics and outcomes using a multivariable model. RESULTS Of 1129 CPR events, 273 had evaluable arterial waveform data. Mean age is 2.9 years + 4.9 months. Mean ABP-ADC was 32.5% + 5.0%. In univariable analysis, higher ABP-ADC was associated with lower sBP (p < 0.01) and failing to achieve sBP targets (p < 0.01). Other intra-arrest physiologic parameters, quality metrics, and patient outcomes were similar across ABP-ADC groups. Using spline/ROC analysis and clinical judgement, the optimal ABP-ADC cut point was set at 33%. On multivariable analysis, sBP was significantly higher (point estimate 13.18 mmHg, CI95 5.30-21.07, p < 0.01) among patients with ABP-ADC < 33%. Other intra-arrest physiologic and patient outcomes were similar. CONCLUSIONS In this multicenter cohort, a lower ABP-ADC was associated with higher sBPs during CPR. Although ABP-ADC was not associated with outcomes, further studies are needed to define the interactions between CPR mechanics and intra arrest patient physiology.

Abstract
Despite major advancements in cardiovascular medicine, sudden cardiac death (SCD) continues to be an enormous medical and societal challenge, claiming millions of lives every year. Efforts to prevent SCD are hampered by imperfect risk prediction and inadequate solutions to specifically address arrhythmogenesis. Although resuscitation strategies have witnessed substantial evolution, there is a need to strengthen the organisation of community interventions and emergency medical systems across varied locations and health-care structures. With all the technological and medical advances of the 21st century, the fact that survival from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) remains lower than 10% in most parts of the world is unacceptable. Recognising this urgent need, the Lancet Commission on SCD was constituted, bringing together 30 international experts in varied disciplines. Consistent progress in tackling SCD will require a completely revamped approach to SCD prevention, with wide-sweeping policy changes that will empower the development of both governmental and community-based programmes to maximise survival from SCA, and to comprehensively attend to survivors and decedents' families after the event. International collaborative efforts that maximally leverage and connect the expertise of various research organisations will need to be prioritised to properly address identified gaps. The Commission places substantial emphasis on the need to develop a multidisciplinary strategy that encompasses all aspects of SCD prevention and treatment. The Commission provides a critical assessment of the current scientific efforts in the field, and puts forth key recommendations to challenge, activate, and intensify efforts by both the scientific and global community with new directions, research, and innovation to reduce the burden of SCD worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have identified pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a relatively common diagnosis in children with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), and preclinical laboratory studies have found poor outcomes and low systemic blood pressures during CPR for PH-associated cardiac arrest. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of PH among children with IHCA and the association between PH diagnosis and intra-arrest physiology and survival outcomes. METHODS This was a prospectively designed secondary analysis of patients enrolled in the ICU-RESUS clinical trial (NCT02837497). The primary exposure was a pre-arrest diagnosis of PH. The primary survival outcome was survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score 1-3 or unchanged from baseline). The primary physiologic outcome was event-level average diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during CPR. RESULTS Of 1276 patients with IHCAs during the study period, 1129 index IHCAs were enrolled; 184 (16.3%) had PH and 101/184 (54.9%) were receiving inhaled nitric oxide at the time of IHCA. Survival with favorable neurologic outcome was similar between patients with and without PH on univariate (48.9% vs. 54.4%; p = 0.17) and multivariate analyses (aOR 0.82 [95%CI: 0.56, 1.20]; p = 0.32). There were no significant differences in CPR event outcome or survival to hospital discharge. Average DBP, systolic BP, and end-tidal carbon dioxide during CPR were similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS In this prospective study of pediatric IHCA, pre-existing PH was present in 16% of children. Pre-arrest PH diagnosis was not associated with statistically significant differences in survival outcomes or intra-arrest physiologic measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can negatively affect different healthcare-related outcomes. Nonetheless, there is limited information about its effects on different healthcare-related outcomes. This study aimed at evaluating the outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and their predictors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1253 patients who had undergone CPR in the emergency wards of teaching hospitals in the west of Iran from the beginning of the first wave to the end of the third epidemic wave of COVID-19 in Iran, between February 20, 2020, and January 20, 2021. Data were collected using the National CPR Documentation Forms developed based on the Utstein Style and routinely used for all patients with cardiac arrest (CA). The SPSS (v. 20.0) program was used to analyze the data through the Chi-square, Fisher's exact, and Mann-Whitney U tests and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Participants' age mean was 64.62 ± 17.54 years. Age mean among participants with COVID-19 was eight years more than other participants. Most participants were male (64.09%) and had at least one underlying disease (64.99%). The total rates of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and CPR-discharge survival were respectively 15.3% and 3.8% among all participants, 20.25% and 5.17% among participants without COVID-19, and 8.96% and 2.04% among participants with COVID-19. The significant predictors of ROSC were age, affliction by COVID-19, affliction by underlying diseases, baseline rhythm, delay in epinephrine administration, and epinephrine administration time interval, while the significant predictors of CPR-discharge survival were age and baseline rhythm. CONCLUSIONS The total rates of ROSC and CPR-discharge survival were respectively 15.3% and 3.8% among all participants. The rates of ROSC and CPR to discharge survival among patients without COVID-19 are respectively 2.26 and 2.53 times more than the rates among patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize inappropriate shock delivery during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING An international pediatric cardiac arrest quality improvement collaborative Pediatric Resuscitation Quality [pediRES-Q]. PATIENTS All IHCA events from 2015 to 2020 from the pediRES-Q Collaborative for which shock and electrocardiogram waveform data were available. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We analyzed 418 shocks delivered during 159 cardiac arrest events, with 381 shocks during 158 events at 28 sites remaining after excluding undecipherable rhythms. We classified shocks as: 1) appropriate (ventricular fibrillation [VF] or wide complex ≥ 150/min); 2) indeterminate (narrow complex ≥ 150/min or wide complex 100-149/min); or 3) inappropriate (asystole, sinus, narrow complex < 150/min, or wide complex < 100/min) based on the rhythm immediately preceding shock delivery. Of delivered shocks, 57% were delivered appropriately for VF or wide complex rhythms with a rate greater than or equal to 150/min. Thirteen percent were classified as indeterminate. Thirty percent were delivered inappropriately for asystole (6.8%), sinus (3.1%), narrow complex less than 150/min (11%), or wide complex less than 100/min (8.9%) rhythms. Eighty-eight percent of all shocks were delivered in ICUs or emergency departments, and 30% of those were delivered inappropriately. CONCLUSIONS The rate of inappropriate shock delivery for pediatric IHCA in this international cohort is at least 30%, with 23% delivered to an organized electrical rhythm, identifying opportunity for improvement in rhythm identification training.

Abstract
AIMS The primary objective was to determine the association between clinician-reported use of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to monitor cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (pIHCA) and survival outcomes. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was performed in two cohorts: (1) Patients with an invasive airway in place at the time of arrest to evaluate ETCO2 use, and (2) patients with an arterial line in place at the time of arrest to evaluate DBP use. The primary exposure was clinician-reported use of ETCO2 or DBP. The primary outcome was return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Propensity-weighted logistic regression evaluated the association between monitoring and outcomes. SETTING Hospitals reporting to the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines®- Resuscitation registry (2007-2021). PATIENTS Children with index IHCA with an invasive airway or arterial line at the time of arrest. RESULTS Between January 2007 and May 2021, there were 15,280 pediatric CPR events with an invasive airway or arterial line in place at the time of arrest. Of 7159 events with an invasive airway, 6829 were eligible for analysis. Of 2978 events with an arterial line, 2886 were eligible. Clinicians reported using ETCO2 in 1335/6829 (20%) arrests and DBP in 1041/2886 (36%). Neither exposure was associated with ROSC. ETCO2 monitoring was associated with higher odds of 24-hour survival (aOR 1.17 [1.02, 1.35], p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Neither clinician-reported ETCO2 monitoring nor DBP monitoring during pIHCA were associated with ROSC. Monitoring of ETCO2 was associated with 24-hour survival.

Abstract
AIMS To characterize respiratory failure prior to pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and to associate pre-arrest respiratory failure characteristics with survival outcomes. METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study from a prospectively identified cohort of children <18 years in intensive care units (ICUs) who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for ≥1 minute between January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2021, and were receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in the hour prior to IHCA. Patient characteristics, ventilatory support and gas exchange immediately pre-arrest were described and their association with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was measured. RESULTS In the 187 events among 154 individual patients, the median age was 0.9 [0.2, 2.4] years, and CPR duration was 7.5 [3, 29] minutes. Respiratory failure was acute prior to 106/187 (56.7%) events, and the primary indication for IMV was respiratory in nature in 107/187 (57.2%) events. Immediately pre-arrest, the median positive end-expiratory pressure was 8 [5, 10] cmH2O; mean airway pressure was 13 [10,18] cmH2O; peak inspiratory pressure was 28 [24, 35] cmH2O; and fraction of inhaled oxygen (FiO2) was 0.40 [0.25, 0.80]. Pre-arrest FiO2 was lower in patients with ROSC vs. without ROSC (0.30 vs. 0.99; p < 0.001). Patients without ROSC had greater severity of pre-arrest oxygenation failure (p < 0.001) as defined by oxygenation index, oxygen saturation index, P/F ratio or S/F ratio. CONCLUSIONS There was substantial heterogeneity in respiratory failure characteristics and ventilatory requirements pre-arrest. Higher pre-arrest oxygen requirement and greater degree of oxygenation failure were associated with worse survival outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In-situ simulation (ISS) is a method to evaluate the performance of hospital units in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It is conducted by placing a high-fidelity mannequin at hospital units with simulated scenarios and having each unit's performance evaluated. However, little is known about its impact on actual patient outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the association between the ISS results and actual outcomes of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). METHODS This retrospective study was conducted by reviewing Siriraj Hospital's CPR ISS results in association with the data of IHCA patients between January 2012 and January 2019. Actual outcomes were determined by patients' outcomes (sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge) and arrest performance indicators (time-to-first-epinephrine and time-to-defibrillation). These outcomes were investigated for association with the ISS scores in multilevel regression models with hospital units as clusters. RESULTS There were 2146 cardiac arrests included with sustained ROSC rate of 65.3% and survival to hospital discharge rate of 12.9%. Higher ISS scores were significantly associated with improved sustained ROSC rate (adjusted odds ratio 1.32 (95%CI 1.04, 1.67); p = 0.01) and a decrease in time-to-defibrillation (-0.42 (95%CI -0.73, -0.11); p = 0.009). Although higher scores were also associated with better survival to hospital discharge and a decrease in time-to-first-epinephrine, most models for these outcomes failed to reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION CPR ISS results were associated with some important patient outcomes and arrest performance indicators. Therefore, it may be an appropriate performance evaluation method that can guide the direction of improvement.
