[PMID: 38866233 PMCID: PMC11331055 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2024.110271] [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: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There are limited tools available following cardiac arrest to prognosticate neurologic outcomes. Prior retrospective and single center studies have demonstrated early EEG features are associated with neurologic outcome. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of EEG for pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in a prospective, multicenter study. METHODS This cohort study is a secondary analysis of the ICU-Resuscitation trial, a multicenter randomized interventional trial conducted at 18 pediatric and pediatric cardiac ICUs in the United States. Patients who achieved return of circulation (ROC) and had post-ROC EEG monitoring were eligible for inclusion. Patients < 90 days old and those with pre-arrest Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) scores > 3 were excluded. EEG features of interest included EEG Background Category, and presence of focal abnormalities, sleep spindles, variability, reactivity, periodic and rhythmic patterns, and seizures. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Associations between EEG features and outcomes were assessed with multivariable logistic regression. Prediction models with and without EEG Background Category were developed and receiver operator characteristic curves compared. RESULTS Of the 1129 patients with an index cardiac arrest who achieved ROC in the parent study, 261 had EEG within 24 h of ROC, of which 151 were evaluable. The cohort included 57% males with a median age of 1.1 years (IQR 0.4, 6.8). EEG features including EEG Background Category, sleep spindles, variability, and reactivity were associated with survival with favorable outcome and survival, (all p < 0.001). The addition of EEG Background Category to clinical models including age category, illness category, PRISM score, duration of CPR, first documented rhythm, highest early post-arrest arterial lactate improved the prediction accuracy achieving an AUROC of 0.84 (CI 0.77-0.92), compared to AUROC of 0.76 (CI 0.67-0.85) (p = 0.005) without EEG Background Category. CONCLUSION This multicenter study demonstrates the value of EEG, in the first 24 h following ROC, for predicting survival with favorable outcome after a pediatric IHCA.

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
OBJECTIVES Cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during active extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a method to rescue patients refractory to standard resuscitation. We hypothesized that early arrest hemodynamics and end-tidal C o2 (ET co2 ) are associated with survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome in pediatric ECPR patients. DESIGN Preplanned, secondary analysis of pediatric Utstein, hemodynamic, and ventilatory data in ECPR patients collected during the 2016-2021 Improving Outcomes from Pediatric Cardiac Arrest study; the ICU-RESUScitation Project (ICU-RESUS; NCT02837497). SETTING Eighteen ICUs participated in ICU-RESUS. PATIENTS There were 97 ECPR patients with hemodynamic waveforms during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Overall, 71 of 97 patients (73%) were younger than 1 year old, 82 of 97 (85%) had congenital heart disease, and 62 of 97 (64%) were postoperative cardiac surgical patients. Forty of 97 patients (41%) survived with favorable neurologic outcome. We failed to find differences in diastolic or systolic blood pressure, proportion achieving age-based target diastolic or systolic blood pressure, or chest compression rate during the initial 10 minutes of CPR between patients who survived with favorable neurologic outcome and those who did not. Thirty-five patients had ET co2 data; of 17 survivors with favorable neurologic outcome, four of 17 (24%) had an average ET co2 less than 10 mm Hg and two (12%) had a maximum ET co2 less than 10 mm Hg during the initial 10 minutes of resuscitation. CONCLUSIONS We did not identify an association between early hemodynamics achieved by high-quality CPR and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome after pediatric ECPR. Candidates for ECPR with ET co2 less than 10 mm Hg may survive with favorable neurologic outcome.

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 of CPR simulation program characteristics with simulated and actual performance during paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2023; 191:109939. [PMID: 37625580 PMCID: PMC10528057 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2023.109939] [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: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate associations between characteristics of simulated point-of-care cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training with simulated and actual intensive care unit (ICU) CPR performance, and with outcomes of children after in-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS This is a pre-specified secondary analysis of the ICU-RESUScitation Project; a prospective, multicentre cluster randomized interventional trial conducted in 18 ICUs from October 2016-March 2021. Point-of-care bedside simulations with real-time feedback to allow multidisciplinary ICU staff to practice CPR on a portable manikin were performed and quality metrics (rate, depth, release velocity, chest compression fraction) were recorded. Actual CPR performance was recorded for children 37 weeks post-conceptual age to 18 years who received chest compressions of any duration, and included intra-arrest haemodynamics and CPR mechanics. Outcomes included survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic status. RESULTS Overall, 18,912 point-of-care simulations were included. Simulation characteristics associated with both simulation and actual performance included site, participant discipline, and timing of simulation training. Simulation characteristics were not associated with survival with favourable neurologic outcome. However, participants in the top 3 sites for improvement in survival with favourable neurologic outcome were more likely to have participated in a simulation in the past month, on a weekday day, to be nurses, and to achieve targeted depth of compression and chest compression fraction goals during simulations than the bottom 3 sites. CONCLUSIONS Point-of-care simulation characteristics were associated with both simulated and actual CPR performance. More recent simulation, increased nursing participation, and simulation training during daytime hours may improve CPR performance.

The association of arterial blood pressure waveform-derived area duty cycle with intra-arrest hemodynamics and cardiac arrest outcomes. Resuscitation 2023; 191:109950. [PMID: 37634859 PMCID: PMC10829972 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2023.109950] [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: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
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
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.

The physiologic response to epinephrine and pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation outcomes. Crit Care 2023; 27:105. [PMID: 36915182 PMCID: PMC10012560 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04399-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epinephrine is provided during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to increase systemic vascular resistance and generate higher diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to improve coronary perfusion and attain return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The DBP response to epinephrine during pediatric CPR and its association with outcomes have not been well described. Thus, the objective of this study was to measure the association between change in DBP after epinephrine administration during CPR and ROSC. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter study of children receiving ≥ 1 min of CPR with ≥ 1 dose of epinephrine and evaluable invasive arterial BP data in the 18 ICUs of the ICU-RESUS trial (NCT02837497). Blood pressure waveforms underwent compression-by-compression quantitative analysis. The mean DBP before first epinephrine dose was compared to mean DBP two minutes post-epinephrine. Patients with ≥ 5 mmHg increase in DBP were characterized as "responders." RESULTS Among 147 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 66 (45%) were characterized as responders and 81 (55%) were non-responders. The mean increase in DBP with epinephrine was 4.4 [- 1.9, 11.5] mmHg (responders: 13.6 [7.5, 29.3] mmHg versus non-responders: - 1.5 [- 5.0, 1.5] mmHg; p < 0.001). After controlling for a priori selected covariates, epinephrine response was associated with ROSC (aRR 1.60 [1.21, 2.12]; p = 0.001). Sensitivity analyses identified similar associations between DBP response thresholds of ≥ 10, 15, and 20 mmHg and ROSC; DBP responses of ≥ 10 and ≥ 15 mmHg were associated with higher aRR of survival to hospital discharge and survival with favorable neurologic outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score of 1-3 or no worsening from baseline). CONCLUSIONS The change in DBP following epinephrine administration during pediatric in-hospital CPR was associated with return of spontaneous circulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in adaptations to pediatric resuscitation systems of care. The objective of this study was to determine the temporal association between the pandemic and pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) process of care metrics, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) quality, and patient outcomes. DESIGN Multicenter retrospective analysis of a dataset comprising observations of IHCA outcomes pre pandemic (March 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020) versus pandemic (March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021). SETTING Data source was the ICU-RESUScitation Project ("ICU-RESUS;" NCT028374497), a prospective, multicenter, cluster randomized interventional trial. PATIENTS Children (≤ 18 yr) who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation while admitted to the ICU and were enrolled in ICU-RESUS. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Among 429 IHCAs meeting inclusion criteria, occurrence during the pandemic period was associated with higher frequency of hypotension as the immediate cause of arrest. Cardiac arrest physiology, cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality metrics, and postarrest physiologic and quality of care metrics were similar between the two periods. Survival with favorable neurologic outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score 1-3 or unchanged from baseline) occurred in 102 of 195 subjects (52%) during the pandemic compared with 140 of 234 (60%) pre pandemic ( p = 0.12). Among survivors, occurrence of IHCA during the pandemic period was associated with a greater increase in Functional Status Scale (FSS) (i.e., worsening) from baseline (1 [0-3] vs 0 [0-2]; p = 0.01). After adjustment for confounders, IHCA survival during the pandemic period was associated with a greater increase in FSS from baseline (+1.19 [95% CI, 0.35-2.04] FSS points; p = 0.006) and higher odds of a new FSS-defined morbidity (adjusted odds ratio, 1.88 [95% CI, 1.03-3.46]; p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Using the ICU-RESUS dataset, we found that relative to the year prior, pediatric IHCA during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with greater worsening of functional status and higher odds of new functional morbidity among survivors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate associations between sodium bicarbonate use and outcomes during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (p-IHCA). DESIGN Prespecified secondary analysis of a prospective, multicenter cluster randomized interventional trial. SETTING Eighteen participating ICUs of the ICU-RESUScitation Project (NCT02837497). PATIENTS Children less than or equal to 18 years old and greater than or equal to 37 weeks post conceptual age who received chest compressions of any duration from October 2016 to March 2021. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Child and event characteristics, prearrest laboratory values (2-6 hr prior to p-IHCA), pre- and intraarrest hemodynamics, and outcomes were collected. In a propensity score weighted cohort, the relationships between sodium bicarbonate use and outcomes were assessed. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Of 1,100 index cardiopulmonary resuscitation events, median age was 0.63 years (interquartile range, 0.19-3.81 yr); 528 (48.0%) received sodium bicarbonate; 773 (70.3%) achieved ROSC; 642 (58.4%) survived to hospital discharge; and 596 (54.2%) survived to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Among the weighted cohort, sodium bicarbonate use was associated with lower survival to hospital discharge rate (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.7; 95% CI, 0.54-0.92; p = 0.01) and lower survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome rate (aOR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.53-0.91; p = 0.007). Sodium bicarbonate use was not associated with ROSC (aOR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.62-1.34; p = 0.621). CONCLUSIONS In this propensity weighted multicenter cohort study of p-IHCA, sodium bicarbonate use was common and associated with lower rates of survival to hospital discharge.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Approximately 40% of children who experience an in-hospital cardiac arrest survive to hospital discharge. Achieving threshold intra-arrest diastolic blood pressure (BP) targets during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and systolic BP targets after the return of circulation may be associated with improved outcomes. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a bundled intervention comprising physiologically focused CPR training at the point of care and structured clinical event debriefings. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A parallel, hybrid stepped-wedge, cluster randomized trial (Improving Outcomes from Pediatric Cardiac Arrest-the ICU-Resuscitation Project [ICU-RESUS]) involving 18 pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) from 10 clinical sites in the US. In this hybrid trial, 2 clinical sites were randomized to remain in the intervention group and 2 in the control group for the duration of the study, and 6 were randomized to transition from the control condition to the intervention in a stepped-wedge fashion. The index (first) CPR events of 1129 pediatric ICU patients were included between October 1, 2016, and March 31, 2021, and were followed up to hospital discharge (final follow-up was April 30, 2021). INTERVENTION During the intervention period (n = 526 patients), a 2-part ICU resuscitation quality improvement bundle was implemented, consisting of CPR training at the point of care on a manikin (48 trainings/unit per month) and structured physiologically focused debriefings of cardiac arrest events (1 debriefing/unit per month). The control period (n = 548 patients) consisted of usual pediatric ICU management of cardiac arrest. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge with a favorable neurologic outcome defined as a Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score of 1 to 3 or no change from baseline (score range, 1 [normal] to 6 [brain death or death]). The secondary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. RESULTS Among 1389 cardiac arrests experienced by 1276 patients, 1129 index CPR events (median patient age, 0.6 [IQR, 0.2-3.8] years; 499 girls [44%]) were included and 1074 were analyzed in the primary analysis. There was no significant difference in the primary outcome of survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcomes in the intervention group (53.8%) vs control (52.4%); risk difference (RD), 3.2% (95% CI, -4.6% to 11.4%); adjusted OR, 1.08 (95% CI, 0.76 to 1.53). There was also no significant difference in survival to hospital discharge in the intervention group (58.0%) vs control group (56.8%); RD, 1.6% (95% CI, -6.2% to 9.7%); adjusted OR, 1.03 (95% CI, 0.73 to 1.47). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this randomized clinical trial conducted in 18 pediatric intensive care units, a bundled intervention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training at the point of care and physiologically focused structured debriefing, compared with usual care, did not significantly improve patient survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome among pediatric patients who experienced cardiac arrest in the ICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial (SW-CRT) designs are often used when there is a desire to provide an intervention to all enrolled clusters, because of a belief that it will be effective. However, given there should be equipoise at trial commencement, there has been discussion around whether a pre-trial decision to provide the intervention to all clusters is appropriate. In pharmaceutical drug development, a solution to a similar desire to provide more patients with an effective treatment is to use a response adaptive (RA) design. METHODS We introduce a way in which RA design could be incorporated in an SW-CRT, permitting modification of the intervention allocation during the trial. The proposed framework explicitly permits a balance to be sought between power and patient benefit considerations. A simulation study evaluates the methodology. RESULTS In one scenario, for one particular RA design, the proportion of cluster-periods spent in the intervention condition was observed to increase from 32.2% to 67.9% as the intervention effect was increased. A cost of this was a 6.2% power drop compared to a design that maximized power by fixing the proportion of time in the intervention condition at 45.0%, regardless of the intervention effect. CONCLUSIONS An RA approach may be most applicable to settings for which the intervention has substantial individual or societal benefit considerations, potentially in combination with notable safety concerns. In such a setting, the proposed methodology may routinely provide the desired adaptability of the roll-out speed, with only a small cost to the study's power.

Abstract
This article describes evidence-based nursing practices for detecting pediatric decompensation and prevention of cardiopulmonary arrest and outlines the process for effective and high-quality pediatric resuscitation and postresuscitation care. Primary concepts include pediatric decompensation signs and symptoms, pediatric resuscitation essential practices, and postresuscitation care, monitoring, and outcomes. Pediatric-specific considerations for family presence during resuscitation, ensuring good outcomes for medically complex children in community settings, and the role of targeted temperature management, continuous electroencephalography, and the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pediatric resuscitation are also discussed.

Abstract
Pediatric cardiology has evolved over time with reductions in childhood mortality due to congenital heart disease. Surgical innovation drove early changes in care. Increasingly, the need for more robust evidence provided by randomised controlled trials (RCTs) has been recognised. Although the number of RCTs has increased, there remains a relative paucity of truly impactful trials in the field. However, those trials that have changed practice have demonstrated the potential and importance of this work. Examples include the PRIMACORP trial, which established the safety and efficacy of milrinone after cardiac surgery, and the Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial, which was the first multicentre pediatric cardiac surgical RCT. The successful conduct and important findings emanating from these trials serve as beacons as clinicians strive to improve the evidence base in this field. The establishment of national and international networks such as the Pediatric Heart Network and the Canadian Pediatric Cardiology Research Network provide a strong foundation for future collaborative work. Despite this progress, there remain important challenges to designing and executing RCTs in pediatric cardiology. These include issues of greater disease and patient heterogeneity and increased costs. The use of innovative study designs and analytic methods and the establishment of core outcome measures have the potential to overcome some of the issues related to the smaller patient numbers compared with adult disciplines. As pediatric cardiologists look to the future, it is imperative that we work together to derive the maximum benefit from the considerable efforts directed toward conducting impactful clinical trials in pediatric cardiology.

Cold Debriefings after In-hospital Cardiac Arrest in an International Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Improvement Collaborative. Pediatr Qual Saf 2020; 5:e319. [PMID: 32766493 PMCID: PMC7351457 DOI: 10.1097/pq9.0000000000000319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2019] [Accepted: 06/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Introduction: Clinical event debriefing functions to identify optimal and suboptimal performance to improve future performance. “Cold” debriefing (CD), or debriefing performed more than 1 day after an event, was reported to improve patient survival in a single institution. We sought to describe the frequency and content of CD across multiple pediatric centers. Methods: Mixed-methods, a retrospective review of prospectively collected in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) data, and a supplemental survey of 18 international institutions in the Pediatric Resuscitation Quality (pediRES-Q) collaborative. Data from 283 IHCA events reported between February 2016 and April 2018 were analyzed. We used a Plus/Delta framework to collect debriefing content and performed a qualitative analysis utilizing a modified Team Emergency Assessment Measurement Framework. Univariate and regression models were applied, accounting for clustering by site. Results: CD occurred in 33% (93/283) of IHCA events. Median time to debriefing was 26 days [IQR 11, 41] with a median duration of 60 minutes [20, 60]. Attendance was variable across sites (profession, number per debriefing): physicians 12 [IQR 4, 20], nurses 1 [1, 6], respiratory therapists 0 [0, 1], and administrators 1 [0, 1]. “Plus” comments reported per event were most commonly clinical standards 47% (44/93), cooperation 29% (27/93), and communication 17% (16/93). “Delta” comments were in similar categories: clinical standards 44% (41/93), cooperation 26% (24/93), and communication 14% (13/93). Conclusions: CDs were performed after 33% of cardiac arrests in this multicenter pediatric IHCA collaborative. The majority of plus and delta comments could be categorized as clinical standards, cooperation and communication.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Critical cardiopulmonary events arising from congenital or acquired heart diseases are infrequent in some pediatric critical care units but can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality when encountered. We developed four simulation cases for interprofessional pediatric critical care teams (fellows, residents, and nurses) to provide participants with high-acuity cardiopulmonary scenarios in safe learning environments. The included cases were coarctation of the aorta, Kawasaki disease, myocarditis, and tetralogy of Fallot. METHODS The simulations were typically 15 minutes in duration and took place within the pediatric intensive care unit. The scenarios began with handoff of the patient to the primary nurse, who recruited the assistance of resident physicians and ultimately a pediatric critical care medicine fellow as the scenario escalated. Upon completion, participants engaged in a structured, interactive debriefing session for 40 minutes. Afterward, they were asked to complete an anonymous feedback form that was collected and analyzed. RESULTS Based on aggregate postsimulation survey responses from 114 learners, participants reported that these simulation exercises improved their knowledge and ability to manage acutely deteriorating cardiac patients. Additionally, learners rated the impact of the simulation on their practice highly (average score >4 for each group of participants on a 5-point Likert scale). Feedback was analyzed and categorized into three domains: (1) Pediatric Medicine Learning Objectives, (2) Teamwork Strategies, and (3) Opportunities for Simulation Improvements. DISCUSSION This series advances self-reported learner knowledge and skills surrounding management of cardiopulmonary events while also providing opportunities to enhance teamwork and communication skills.

Variability in chest compression rate calculations during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Resuscitation 2020; 149:127-133. [PMID: 32088254 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2020.01.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2019] [Revised: 01/14/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
AIM The mathematical method used to calculate chest compression (CC) rate during cardiopulmonary resuscitation varies in the literature and across device manufacturers. The objective of this study was to determine the variability in calculated CC rates by applying four published methods to the same dataset. METHODS This study was a secondary investigation of the first 200 pediatric cardiac arrest events with invasive arterial line waveform data in the ICU-RESUScitation Project (NCT02837497). Instantaneous CC rates were calculated during periods of uninterrupted CCs. The defined minimum interruption length affects rate calculation (e.g., if an interruption is defined as a break in CCs ≥ 2 s, the lowest possible calculated rate is 30 CCs/min). Average rates were calculated by four methods: 1) rate with an interruption defined as ≥ 1 s; 2) interruption ≥ 2 s; 3) interruption ≥ 3 s; 4) method #3 excluding top and bottom quartiles of calculated rates. American Heart Association Guideline-compliant rate was defined as 100-120 CCs/min. A clinically important change was defined as ±5 CCs/min. The percentage of events and epochs (30 s periods) that changed Guideline-compliant status was calculated. RESULTS Across calculation methods, mean CC rates (118.7-119.5/min) were similar. Comparing all methods, 14 events (7%) and 114 epochs (6%) changed Guideline-compliant status. CONCLUSION Using four published methods for calculating CC rate, average rates were similar, but 7% of events changed Guideline-compliant status. These data suggest that a uniform calculation method (interruption ≥ 1 s) should be adopted to decrease variability in resuscitation science.

Abstract
Stepped-wedge cluster randomized trials, which randomize clusters of subjects to treatment sequences in which clusters switch from control to intervention conditions, are being conducted with increasing frequency. Due to the real-world nature of this design, methodological and implementation challenges are ubiquitous. To account for such challenges, more complex statistical models to plan studies and analyze data are required. In this paper, we consider stepped-wedge trials that accommodate treatment effect heterogeneity across clusters, implementation periods during which no data are collected, or both treatment effect heterogeneity and implementation periods. Previous work has shown that the sequence-period cells of a stepped-wedge design contribute unequal amounts of information to the estimation of the treatment effect. In this paper, we extend that work by considering the amount of information available for the estimation of the treatment effect in each sequence-period cell, sequence, and period of stepped-wedge trials with more complex designs and outcome models. When either treatment effect heterogeneity and/or implementation periods are present, the pattern of information content of sequence-period cells tends to be clustered around the times of the switch from control to intervention condition, similarly to when these complexities are absent. However, the presence and degree of treatment effect heterogeneity and the number of implementation periods can influence the information content of periods and sequences markedly.

Hemodynamic effects of chest compression interruptions during pediatric in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Resuscitation 2019; 139:1-8. [PMID: 30946924 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2019.03.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2019] [Revised: 03/12/2019] [Accepted: 03/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
AIM Animal studies have established deleterious hemodynamic effects of interrupting chest compressions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of interruptions on invasively measured blood pressures (BPs) during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). METHODS This was a single-center, observational study of pediatric (<18 years) intensive care unit IHCAs in patients with invasive arterial catheters in place. Interruptions were defined as ≥1 s between chest compressions. Diastolic BP (DBP) and systolic BP (SBP) were determined for individual compressions. For the primary analysis, the average DBP and SBP of the 20 compressions preceding each interruption were compared to the average DBP and SBP of the first 20 compressions following each interruption utilizing non-parametric paired analyses. Linear regression evaluated the change in DBP during interruptions and following interruptions. RESULTS Thirty-two IHCA events met inclusion criteria, yielding 161 evaluable interruptions. The median age was 2.1 years. Return of circulation was achieved in 24 (75%). The median interruption duration was 2.4 [1.4, 7.0] seconds. Most patients were intubated pre-arrest and received epinephrine during CPR. BPs were not different pre- vs. post-interruption (DBP: 28.7 [21.6, 38.2] vs. 28.3 [21.0, 37.4] mmHg, p = 0.81; SBP: 82.0 [51.7, 116.7] vs. 85.4 [55.7, 122.2] mmHg, p = 0.07). DBP decreased 8.41 ± 0.73 mmHg (p < 0.001) during the first second of interruptions and 0.19 ± 0.02 mmHg/s (p < 0.001) in subsequent seconds. CONCLUSIONS BPs following chest compression interruptions did not differ from pre-interruption BPs. These findings suggest that in the setting of high-quality in-hospital CPR, brief chest compression interruptions do not have persistent detrimental hemodynamic impact.

Abstract
The relatively young field of pediatric critical care has seen a shift from an approach with little consideration for the complications and adverse effects resulting from the procedures and medications to a more cautious approach with careful concern for the associated risks. Many senior pediatric intensivists recall a time when nearly every patient had a central venous line and arterial line; and hospital acquired infections, pressure injuries, unplanned extubations, and venous thromboemboli were expected costs of aggressive care. In addition to the morbidity and mortality associated with many of the health care-acquired conditions (HACs) in children, the attributable cost due to these HACs contributes to the unsustainable health care financial crisis. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) often penalize hospitals for HACs, and also are beginning to reimburse in a bundled fashion such that complications become the institution's burden. In children, payors and patients' families are often saddling this burden of costs attributable to HACs. The direct attributable costs per event are staggering. Payors, families, patients, and health care teams now demand a circumspect approach to care: do no harm, but how?
