Abstract
PURPOSE In-hospital cardiac arrest is associated with high morbidity and mortality, with an overall survival rate at one year of approximately 13%. The first cardiac rhythm is often analyzed by anesthesiologist-intensivists. We aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of anesthesiologist-intensivists when distinguishing between shockable and nonshockable rhythms. METHODS We conducted a simulation-based, multicentre, prospective, observational study between May 2019 and March 2020. The responses of the participants were used to calculate individual sensitivity (defined as the proportion of decisions to shock for shockable rhythms) and individual specificity (defined as the proportion of decisions not to shock for nonshockable rhythms). The main outcome measure was the overall diagnostic performance, defined as the overall sensitivity and specificity. Secondary outcome measures were the sensitivity and specificity of participants' decisions for each type of cardiac arrest rhythm and their decision-making times. RESULTS Among the 267 physicians contacted, 179 (67%) completed the test. The median [interquartile range (IQR)] overall sensitivity was 88 [79-95]% and the median overall specificity was 86 [77-92]%. Among shockable rhythms, the median [IQR] sensitivity was 100 [100-100]% for ventricular tachycardia (VT), 100 [100-100]% for coarse ventricular fibrillation (VF), and 60 [20-100]% for fine VF. The median [IQR] specificities for nonshockable rhythms were 93 [86-100]% for asystole and 83 [72-86]% for pulseless electrical activity. The median decision times ranged from 2.0 to 3.5 sec. CONCLUSION Anesthesiologist-intensivists were quickly and effectively able to analyze rhythms in this simulation-based study. Participants' sensitivity in deciding to deliver shocks for VT and coarse VF was excellent, while specificity of their decisions for pulseless electrical activity was insufficient.

Moriwaki K, Watanabe T, Yasuda M, Katagiri T, Ueki M, Kurita S, Sanuki M, Tsutsumi YM. An outcome study of adult in-hospital cardiac arrests in non-monitored areas with resuscitation attempted using AED. Am J Emerg Med 2019; 38:2524-2530. [PMID: 31864867 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2019.12.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Accepted: 12/13/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the outcomes of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using an automated external defibrillator (AED) in non-monitored areas. Additionally, to detect correlated factors associated with rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival rate, among collected data. METHODS This study included 109 patients. After investigating patient characteristics and resuscitation-related factors, the correlated factors associated with ROSC rates and survival rate were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS The rate of survival to hospital discharge was 21.1%. CPR with AED performed since 2013 was associated with a higher ROSC rate (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 3.24, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21 to 9.52, p < 0.05), but not with the survival rate after ROSC. Tracheal intubation was significantly associated with a higher ROSC rate (AOR 3.62, 95% CI: 1.27 to 11.7, p < 0.05) and a lower survival rate after ROSC (hazard ratio 6.6, 95% CI: 1.2 to 43.3, p < 0.05). Dysrhythmia as the cause of cardiac arrest and intensive care unit (ICU) admission after ROSC were associated with higher survival rates (hazard ratio 0.056, 95% CI: 0.004 to 0.759, p < 0.05, and hazard ratio 0.072, 95% CI: 0.017 to 0.264, p < 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The factors associated with ROSC rate and those associated with the survival rate after ROSC were different. Although initial shockable rhythms on AED were not associated with the survival rate, dysrhythmia as the etiology of cardiac arrest, and ICU admission were significantly associated with higher survival rates after ROSC.
