Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for the survival of cardiac arrest patients, but it can cause severe traumatic complications. In the catheterization laboratory, various physical constraints complicate the appropriate performance of CPR. However, we are not aware of reports of CPR complications in this setting. Here, we report a case of coronary artery perforation (CAP) caused by manual CPR in the catheterization laboratory. The patient, a 68-year-old woman, initially underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unstable angina. Back in the ward, the patient experienced acute stent thrombosis, which resulted in cardiac arrest, and another PCI was performed under ongoing manual CPR. Although revascularization was successful, sudden CAP occurred, leading to cardiac tamponade. Despite extensive treatment efforts, the patient died 18 hours later.Initially, the compression site of CPR was on the midline of the sternum; however, the compression site shifted to the left, to just above the left anterior descending artery, by the time that CAP was detected via angiography. This corresponded to the area where rib fractures were observed upon computed tomography, suggesting the possibility of traumatic CAP due to manual CPR. The physical constraints in the catheterization laboratory can lead to an inappropriate CPR technique and severe traumatic complications.

Abstract
This review article provides a comprehensive examination of the evolution of cardiac anesthesia, emphasizing contemporary approaches beyond the traditional operating room (OR) setting. Tracing the historical roots of cardiac anesthesia from its inception in the mid-20th century, the narrative explores the significant paradigm shift driven by technological advancements and changing procedural approaches. The review highlights the emergence of non-OR environments, such as hybrid operating rooms, catheterization laboratories, and electrophysiology labs, as integral spaces for cardiac interventions. Key findings underscore the importance of patient selection, preoperative assessment, and specialized anesthetic management in optimizing outcomes. Implications for the future of cardiac anesthesia include the potential for enhanced patient-centered care, reduced complications, and improved resource utilization through the integration of advanced technologies. The call to action involves encouraging ongoing research and fostering collaboration among healthcare professionals to refine protocols further, address challenges, and propel the field toward continued innovation in contemporary cardiac interventions.

Cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in "hostile" environments: Using automated compression devices to minimize the rescuers' danger. World J Cardiol 2023; 15:45-55. [PMID: 36911750 PMCID: PMC9993930 DOI: 10.4330/wjc.v15.i2.45] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Mechanical automated compression devices are being used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation instead of manual, "hands-on", rescuer-delivered chest compressions. The -theoretical- advantages include high-quality non-stop compressions, thus freeing the rescuer performing the compressions and additionally the ability of the rescuer to stand reasonably away from a potentially "hazardous" victim, or from hazardous and/or difficult resuscitation conditions. Such circumstances involve cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, especially directly under the fluoroscopy panel, where radiation is well known to cause detrimental effects to the rescuer, and CPR during/after land or air transportation of cardiac arrest victims. Lastly, CPR in a coronavirus disease 2019 patient/ward, where the danger of contamination and further serious illness of the health provider is very existent. The scope of this review is to review and present literature and current guidelines regarding the use of mechanical compressions in these "hostile" and dangerous settings, while comparing them to manual compressions.

Patient characteristics and survival outcomes of cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory: Insights from get with the Guidelines®-Resuscitation registry. Resuscitation 2022; 180:121-127.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Characteristics and outcomes of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) have not been well-described. Thus, we compared the outcomes of patients with an IHCA in the CCL versus those in the intensive care unit (ICU) and operating rooms (OR). METHODS Within the American Heart Association's Get With the Guidelines®-Resuscitation registry, we identified patients ≥ 18 years old with IHCA in the CCL, ICU, or OR between 2000-2019. Using hierarchical multivariable logistic regression, we compared rates of survival to discharge for patients with IHCA in the CCL versus ICU and OR. RESULTS Across 428 hospitals, 193,950 patients had IHCA, of whom 6865, 181,905 and 5180 were in the CCL, ICU and OR, respectively. Overall, 2614 (38.1%) patients with IHCA in the CCL survived to discharge, whereas 30,830 (16.9%) and 2096 (40.5%) survived to discharge from the ICU and OR, respectively. After adjustment, patients with IHCA in CCL were more likely to survive to discharge as compared to those with IHCA in the ICU (odds ratio, 1.37 [95%CI: 1.29-1.46], p < 0.001). In contrast, those who had IHCA in the CCL were less likely to survive to discharge as compared to patients with IHCA in the OR (odds ratio, 0.81 [95%CI: 0.69-0.94], p = 0.006). CONCLUSION IHCA in the CCL is not uncommon and has a lower survival rate when compared with IHCA in the OR. The reasons for this difference deserve further study given that cardiac arrest in both settings is witnessed and response time should be similar.

Prognostic Factors in Patients with Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Acute Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Percutaneous Interventions with the LUCAS-2 System for Mechanical Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11133872. [PMID: 35807156 PMCID: PMC9267592 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11133872] [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: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is one of the most perilous complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). For years, the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) has had to be achieved before the patient could be treated at the catheterization laboratory, as simultaneous manual chest compression and angiography were mutually exclusive. Mechanical chest compression devices enabled simultaneous resuscitation and invasive percutaneous procedures. The aim was to characterize the poorer responders that would allow one to predict the positive outcome of such a treatment. We retrospectively analyzed the medical charts of 94 patients with SCA due to AMI, who underwent mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation during angiography. In total, 48 patients, 8 (17%) of which survived the event, were included in the final analysis, which revealed that 83% of the survivors had mild to moderate hyperkalemia (potassium 5.0−6.0 mmol/L), in comparison to 15% of non-survivors (p = 0.002). In the age- and sex-adjusted model, patients with serum potassium > 5.0 mmol/L had 4.61-times higher odds of survival until discharge from the hospital (95% CI: 1.41−15.05, p = 0.01). Using the highest Youden index, we identified the potassium concentration of 5.1 mmol/L to be the optimal cut-off value for prediction of survival until hospital discharge (83.3% sensitivity and 87.9% specificity). The practical implications of these findings are that patients with potassium levels between 5.0 and 6.0 mmol/L may actually benefit most from percutaneous coronary interventions with ongoing mechanical chest compressions and that they do not need immediate correction for this electrolyte abnormality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nursing care can profoundly reduce the risk of emergencies related to cardiac catheterisation. Therefore, identifying nursing-sensitive quality indicators (NSQIs) to evaluate nursing quality is critical for optimal cardiac catheterisation. However, studies on NSQIs for cardiac catheterisation are scarce. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to develop a set of NSQIs for cardiac catheterisation. METHODS Literature retrieval and expert group discussions were conducted to identify potential NSQIs and compile an inquiry questionnaire. Then, Delphi surveys were used to collect opinions from experts in the field of cardiac catheterisation. The consistency of the consultation results formed the basis on which we conducted the next rounds of consultation. Based on the importance given to each NSQI by the consulted experts in the previous round, we determined the weight coefficient of each indicator with the analytic hierarchy process. This study was performed according to the SRQR guidelines. RESULTS We conducted two rounds of expert inquiry. The recovery rates of the first and second questionnaires were 100% and 66.67%, respectively. The average authoritative coefficients were 0.86 and 0.91. The Kendall W values ranged from 0.214~0.361 (p < .001). Consensus was reached on 3 primary indicators, 8 secondary indicators and 20 tertiary indicators. CONCLUSIONS A set of NSQIs for cardiac catheterisation was developed. However, the effects of these NSQIs on the evaluation and continuous improvement of nursing quality in cardiac catheterisation need to be verified in clinical practice.

Abstract
Research regarding the use of mechanical compressions in the setting of a cardiac arrest, either outside of or inside the hospital environment has produced mixed results. The debate whether they can replace manual compressions still remains. The aim of this review is to present current literature contemplating the application of mechanical compressions in both settings, data comparing them to manual compressions as well as current guidelines regarding their implementation in everyday clinical use. Currently, their implementation in the resuscitation protocol seems to benefit the victims of an in-hospital cardiac arrest rather than the victims that sustain a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital.
