Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by demyelination and neuroinflammation, often accompanied by cognitive impairment. This study aims (1) to investigate the potential of glatiramer acetate (GA) as a therapy for preventing cognitive decline in patients with MS (pwMS) by modulating oxidative stress (OS) and (2) to seek out the differences in cognition between pwMS in a cohort exhibiting good clinical evolution and control subjects (CS). An exploratory, prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional case-control study was conducted, involving three groups at a 1:1:1 ratio-41 GA-treated pwMS, 42 untreated pwMS, and 42 CS. The participants performed a neuropsychological battery and underwent venepuncture for blood sampling. The inclusion criteria required an Expanded Disability Status Scale score of ≤3.0 and a minimum of 5 years of MS disease. Concerning cognition, the CS had a better performance than the pwMS (p = <0.0001), and between those treated and untreated with GA, no statistically significant differences were found. Regarding oxidation, no statistically significant differences were detected. Upon categorizing the pwMS into cognitively impaired and cognitively preserved groups, the lactate was elevated in the pwMS with cognitive preservation (p = 0.038). The pwMS exhibited a worse cognitive performance than the CS. The pwMS treated with GA did not show an improvement in oxidation. Lactate emerged as a potential biomarker for cognitive preservation.

Abstract
Constipation affects almost 50% of critically ill pediatric patients and is related to their morbidity and mortality. However, little attention is paid to it and it is diagnosed late and when there are already complications. The objective of this study is to develop and validate a score to identify critically ill children with high risk of constipation 48 h after admission. A single center two phase-study was carried out; the first one (retrospective observational study) to develop the score and the second one to validate it in another prospective observational study. Children between 15 days of life and 18 years old admitted to the PICU for more than 3 days were included. Demographic and clinical data during the first 48 h after PICU admission were collected. Univariate and multivariate analysis and ROC curves were used to develop and validate the score. Data from 145 patients (62.8% boys) with a mean age of 34.9 ± 7.3 months were used to develop the score. Independent factors identified to develop the score were: weight > 7 kg, admission to PICU after surgery, need of vasoconstrictors, doses of fentanyl ≥ 2 mcg/kg/h, and initiation of enteral nutrition later than 48 h after admission. Two cut-off values were identified to set low constipation risk (< 5.7 points) and high constipation risk (> 6.2 points). This score was validated in 124 patients showing a sensibility of 63.2%, specificity of 95.5% and a positive/negative predictive values (P/NPV) of 100% and 82.1% respectively to identify constipated patients. This is the first score to identify high constipation risk in critically ill children. This score is easy to apply, and internal validation has shown a PPV of 100%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) are subjected to immunomodulatory disease-modifying treatments (DMTs). As a result, immune responses to COVID-19 vaccinations could be compromised. There are few data on cellular immune responses to the use of COVID-19 vaccine boosters in pwMS under a broad spectrum of DMTs. METHODS In this prospective study, we analysed cellular immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA booster vaccinations in 159 pwMS with DMT, including: ocrelizumab, rituximab, fingolimod, alemtuzumab, dimethyl fumarate, glatiramer acetate, teriflunomide, natalizumab and cladribine. RESULTS DMTs, and particularly fingolimod, interact with cellular responses to COVID-19 vaccination. One booster dose does not increase cellular immunity any more than two doses, except in the cases of natalizumab and cladribine. SARS-CoV-2 infection combined with two doses of vaccine resulted in a greater cellular immune response, but this was not observed after supplementary booster jabs. Ocrelizumab-treated pwMS who had previously received fingolimod did not develop cellular immunity, even after receiving a booster. The time after MS diagnosis and disability status negatively correlated with cellular immunity in ocrelizumab-treated pwMS in a booster dose cohort. CONCLUSIONS After two doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, a high response yield was achieved, except in patients who had received fingolimod. The effects of fingolimod on cellular immunity persisted for more than 2 years after a change to ocrelizumab (which, in contrast, conserved cellular immunity). Our results confirmed the need to find alternative protective measures for fingolimod-treated people and to consider the possible failure to provide protection against SARS-CoV-2 when switching from fingolimod to ocrelizumab.

Abstract
Background: Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) alter the immune system and therefore increase the risk of infection. There is growing concern about the impact of COVID-19 on patients with MS (pwMS), especially those treated with DMTs. Methods: This is a single-center prospective observational study based on data from the Esclerosis Múltiple y COVID-19 (EMCOVID-19) study. Demographic characteristics, MS history, laboratory data and SARS-CoV-2 serology, and symptoms of COVID-19 in pwMS treated with any DTM were extracted. The relationship among demographics, MS status, DMT, and COVID-19 was evaluated. Results: A total of 259 pwMS were included. The administration of interferon was significantly associated with the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (26.4% vs. 10.7%, p = 0.006). Although patients taking interferon were significantly older (49.1 vs. 43.5, p = 0.003), the association of interferon with the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was still significant in the multivariate analysis (OR 2.99 (1.38; 6.36), p = 0.006). Conclusions: According to our data, pwMS present a higher risk of COVID-19 infection compared with results obtained from the general population. There is no evidence of a worse COVID-19 outcome in pwMS. DMTs did not significantly change the frequency of COVID-19, except for interferon; however, these findings must be interpreted with caution given the small sample of pwMS taking each DMT.

Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT) affect hemodynamics and urine output. Some theories suggest a reduced renal blood flow as the cause of the decreased urine output, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear. A prospective experimental study was carried out in 32 piglets (2–3 months old) in order to compare the impact of CRRT on hemodynamics, renal perfusion, urine output and renal function in healthy animals and in those with non-oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI). CRRT was started according to our clinical protocol, with an initial blood flow of 20 ml/min, with 10 ml/min increases every minute until a goal flow of 5 ml/kg/min. Heart rate, blood pressure, central venous pressure, cardiac output, renal blood flow and urine output were registered at baseline and during the first 6 h of CRRT. Blood and urine samples were drawn at baseline and after 2 and 6 h of therapy. Blood pressure, cardiac index and urine output significantly decreased after starting CRRT in all piglets. Renal blood flow, however, steadily increased throughout the study. Cisplatin piglets had lower cardiac index, higher vascular resistance, lower renal blood flow and lower urine output than control piglets. Plasma levels of ADH and urine levels of aquaporin-2 were lower, whereas kidney injury biomarkers were higher in the cisplatin group of piglets. According to our findings, a reduced renal blood flow doesn’t seem to be the cause of the decrease in urine output after starting CRRT.

Abstract
Literature suggests that oxidative stress (OS) may be involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), in which the immune system is known to play a key role. However, to date, the OS in peripheral lymphocytes and its contribution to the disease remain unknown. The aim of the present study was to explore the influence of OS in peripheral lymphocytes of MS patients. To that end, a cross-sectional, observational pilot study was conducted [n = 58: 34 MS and 24 healthy subjects (control group)]. We have measured superoxide production and protein mitochondrial complex levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from MS patients and control. Lactate levels and the antioxidant capacity were determined in plasma. We adjusted the comparisons between study groups by age, sex and cell count according to case. Results demonstrated that PBMCs, specifically T cells, from MS patients exhibited significantly increased superoxide anion production compared to control group (p = 0.027 and p = 0.041, respectively). Increased superoxide production in PBMCs was maintained after the adjustment (p = 0.044). Regarding mitochondrial proteins, we observe a significant decrease in the representative protein content of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I-V in PBMCs of MS patients (p = 0.002, p = 0.037, p = 0.03, p = 0.044, and p = 0.051, respectively), which was maintained for complexes I, III, and V after the adjustment (p = 0.026; p = 0.033; p = 0.033, respectively). In MS patients, a trend toward increased plasma lactate concentration was detected [8.04 mg lactate/dL (5.25, 9.49) in the control group, 11.36 mg lactate/dL (5.41, 14.81) in MS patients] that was statistically significant after the adjustment (p = 0.013). This might be indicative of compromised mitochondrial function. Finally, antioxidant capacity was also decreased in plasma from MS patients, both before (p = 0.027) and after adjusting for sex and age (p = 0.006). Our findings demonstrate that PBMCs of MS patients show impaired mitochondrial redox status and deficient antioxidant capacity. These results demonstrate for the first time the existence of mitochondrial alterations in the cells immune cells of MS patients already at the peripheral level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is the treatment of choice for critically ill children with acute kidney injury. Hypotension after starting CRRT is frequent but very few studies have analyzed its incidence and clinical relevance. METHODS A prospective, observational study was performed including critically ill children treated with CRRT between 2010 and 2014. Hemodynamic data and connection characteristics were collected before, during, and 60 min after CRRT circuit connection. Hypotension with the connection was defined as a decrease in > 20% of the mean arterial pressure from baseline or when intravenous fluid resuscitation or an increase in vasopressors was required. RESULTS One hundred sixty-one connections in 36 children (median age 18.8 months) were analyzed. Twenty-eight patients (77.8%) were in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery, 94% had mechanical ventilation, and 86.1% had vasopressors. The heparinized circuit priming solution was discarded in 8.7% and infused to the patient in 18% of the connections. The circuit was re-primed in the remaining 73.3% using albumin (79.3%), red blood cells (4.5%), or another crystalloid solution without heparin (16.2%). Hypotension occurred in 49.7% of the connections a median of 5 min after the beginning of the therapy. Fluid resuscitation was required in 38.5% and the dose of vasopressors was increased in 12.4% of the connections. There was no relationship between hypotension and age or weight. Re-priming the circuit with albumin reduced the incidence of hypotension from 71.4 to 44.6% (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Hypotension after the connection to CRRT is very frequent in critically ill children. Re-priming the circuit with albumin could improve hemodynamics during connection.

Abstract
Objective To design an experimental pediatric animal model of acute kidney injury induced by cisplatin. Methods Prospective comparative observational animal study in two different phases. Acute kidney injury was induced using three different doses of cisplatin (2, 3 and 5 mg/kg). The development of nephrotoxicity was assessed 2 to 4 days after cisplatin administration by estimating biochemical parameters, diuresis and renal morphology. Analytical values and renal morphology were compared between 15 piglets treated with cisplatin 3 mg/kg and 15 control piglets in the second phase of the study. Results 41 piglets were studied. The dose of 3 mg/kg administered 48 hours before the experience induced a significant increase in serum creatinine and urea without an increase in potassium levels. Piglets treated with cisplatin 3 mg/kg had significantly higher values of creatinine, urea, phosphate and amylase, less diuresis and lower values of potassium, sodium and bicarbonate than control piglets. Histological findings showed evidence of a dose-dependent increase in renal damage. Conclusions a dose of 3 mg/kg of cisplatin induces a significant alteration in renal function 48 hours after its administration, so it can be used as a pediatric animal model of non-oliguric acute kidney injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To study hormonal changes associated with severe hyperglycemia in critically ill children and the relationship with prognosis and length of stay in intensive care. METHODS Observational study in twenty-nine critically ill children with severe hyperglycemia defined as 2 blood glucose measurements greater than 180 mg/dL. Severity of illness was assessed using pediatric index of mortality (PIM2), pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM) score, and pediatric logistic organ dysfunction (PELOD) scales. Blood glucose, glycosuria, insulin, C-peptide, cortisol, corticotropin, insulinlike growth factor-1, growth hormone, thyrotropin, thyroxine, and treatment with insulin were recorded. β-cell function and insulin sensitivity and resistance were determined on the basis of the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA), using blood glucose and C-peptide levels. RESULTS The initial blood glucose level was 249 mg/dL and fell gradually to 125 mg/dL at 72 hours. Initial β-cell function (49.2%) and insulin sensitivity (13.2%) were low. At the time of diagnosis of hyperglycemia, 50% of the patients presented insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction, 46% presented isolated insulin resistance, and 4% isolated β-cell dysfunction. β-cell function improved rapidly but insulin resistance persisted. Initial glycemia did not correlate with any other factor, and there was no relationship between glycemia and mortality. Patients who died had higher cortisol and growth hormone levels at diagnosis. Length of stay was correlated by univariate analysis, but not by multivariate analysis, with C-peptide and glycemic control at 24 hours, insulin resistance, and severity of illness scores. CONCLUSIONS Critically ill children with severe hyperglycemia initially present decreased β-cell function and insulin sensitivity. Nonsurvivors had higher cortisol and growth hormone levels and developed hyperglycemia later than survivors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective was to study the clinical course of children requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after cardiac surgery and to analyze the factors associated with mortality. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed that included all children requiring CRRT after cardiac surgery, comparing these patients with other critically ill children requiring CRRT. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the influence of each factor on mortality. RESULTS Eighty-one (4.9%) of 1650 children undergoing cardiac surgery required CRRT; 65 of them (80.2%) presented multiorgan failure. Children starting CRRT after cardiac surgery had lower mean arterial pressure and lower urea and creatinine levels, and were more likely to require mechanical ventilation than other children on CRRT. The incidence of complications was similar. Cardiac surgery increased the probability of requiring CRRT for more than 14 days. Mortality was 43% in children receiving CRRT after cardiac surgery and 29% in other children (P = .05). Factors associated with mortality in the univariate analysis were age less than 12 months, weight less than 10 kg, higher Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score, hypotension, lower urea and creatinine on starting CRRT, and use of hemofiltration. In the multivariate analysis, the only factor associated with mortality was hypotension on starting CRRT (hazard ratio, 4.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-13.4; P = .024). CONCLUSIONS Although only a small percentage of children undergoing cardiac surgery required CRRT, mortality in these patients was high. Hypotension at the time of starting the technique was the only factor associated with a higher mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of 2 doses of intravenous omeprazole on gastric pH, gastrointestinal bleeding, and adverse effects in critically ill children. STUDY DESIGN We undertook a prospective randomized clinical trial in critically ill children at risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. The effect of 2 intravenous omeprazole regimens (0.5 or 1 mg/kg every 12 hours) on the gastric pH and incidence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage was compared. The efficacy criteria were a gastric pH >4 and the absence of clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding. RESULTS Forty patients, 20 in each treatment group, were studied. Overall, the gastric pH was greater than 4 for 57.8% of the time, with no difference between the doses (P = .66). The percentage of time with a gastric pH > 4 increased during the study (47.8% between 0 and 24 hours vs 76% between 24 and 48 hours, P = .001); the greater dose showed a greater increase in the percentage of time with a pH > 4: between hours 24 and 48 of the study, the gastric pH was greater than 4 for 84.5% of the time with the 1 mg/kg dose and for 65.5% of the time with the 0.5 mg/kg dose (P = .036). Plasma omeprazole levels were greater with 1 mg/kg dose, but no correlation was found between omeprazole plasma levels and gastric pH. No toxic adverse effects were detected, and there was no clinically significant bleeding. CONCLUSION Neither of the 2 omeprazole regimens achieved adequate alkalinization of the gastric pH during the first 24 hours. Between 24 and 48 hours, the 1 mg/kg dose maintained the gastric pH greater than 4 for a greater percentage of the time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, characteristics, related factors, and clinical implications of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in critically ill children using esophageal pH monitoring and multichannel intraluminal impedance. METHODS A prospective observational clinical study was performed including 36 non-enterally fed critically ill children with mechanical ventilation, aged 1 mo to 7 y, in the first 48 h after admission in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Esophageal pH monitoring and multichannel intraluminal impedance were used. RESULTS Multichannel intraluminal impedance detected 352 episodes of GER (20.1% acid, 53.8% weak acid, 26% alkaline), whereas pH monitoring detected 171 episodes (100% acid). There were no differences in the type of reflux according to age and no differences in the number or type of reflux according to the administration of inotropic or sedatives drugs or the duration of mechanical ventilation. Patients treated with vecuronium had fewer episodes of GER than those without muscle relaxant drugs. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of GER in non-enterally fed critically ill children with mechanical ventilation is high in the first 48 h after admission to the PICU. Multichannel intraluminal impedance is more sensitive than pH monitoring for establishing the diagnosis of GER because the refluxate is alkaline or weak acid in the majority of episodes. Patients who received muscle relaxants had a lower frequency of GER.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Critical patients usually have hemodynamic disturbances which may become worse by the administration of some drugs. Omeprazole is a drug used in the prophylaxis of the gastrointestinal bleeding in these patients, but its cardiovascular effects are unknown. The objective was to study the hemodynamic changes produced by intravenous omeprazole in critically ill children and to find out if there are differences between two different doses of omeprazole. MATERIAL AND METHODS A randomized prospective observational study was performed on 37 critically ill children aged from 1 month to 14 years of age who required prophylaxis for gastrointestinal bleeding. Of these, 19 received intravenous omeprazole 0.5mg/kg every 12 hours, and 18 received intravenous omeprazole 1mg/kg every 12 hours. Intravenous omeprazole was administered in 20 minutes by continuous infusion pump. Heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure and ECG were recorded at baseline, and at 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes of the infusion. RESULTS There were no significant changes in the electrocardiogram, heart rate, blood pressure and central venous pressure. No patients required inotropic therapy modification. There were no differences between the two doses of omeprazole. CONCLUSIONS Intravenous omeprazole administration of 0.5mg/kg and 1mg/kg is a hemodynamically safe drug in critically ill children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare a standard diet and a protein-enriched diet in critically ill children. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective randomized controlled trial in critically ill children, all patients received enteral nutrition exclusively and were randomly assigned to a standard diet or a protein-enriched diet (1.1 g protein/100 mL of feeding formula). Blood and urine tests, nitrogen balance assessment, and energy expenditure testing by indirect calorimetry were performed before the beginning of the nutrition regimen and at 24 hours, 72 hours, and 5 days after initiation. Demographic data and pediatric mortality risk scores were recorded. RESULTS Fifty-one children were randomized, and 41 completed the study. Of these, 21 patients received standard formula and 20 received a protein-enriched formula. There were no between-group differences in terms age, sex, diagnosis, or mortality risk scores. There was a greater positive trend in levels of prealbumin, transferrin, retinol-binding protein, and total protein in the protein-enriched diet group. These differences were significant only for retinol-binding protein. The positive nitrogen balance trend was also higher in the protein-enriched diet group; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance. No adverse effects or hyperproteinemia were detected in the protein-enriched diet group. CONCLUSIONS The standard diet provides insufficient protein delivery to critically ill children. Enteral protein supplementation is safe and can improve some biochemical parameters of protein metabolism.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate a new bioreactance method for noninvasive cardiac output (CO) measurement (NICOM) in children. Ten patients between 1 and 144 months of age and with no hemodynamic disturbances were studied. Using bioreactance, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and cardiac index (CI) measurements were made every 6-8 h. CI was 2.4 ± 1.03 l/min/1.73 m(2) (range 1-4.9 l/min/1.73 m(2)); There were significant correlations between CI and age (r = 0.50, P = 0.003), weight (r = 0.66, P < 0.001), and MAP (r = 0.369, P = 0.037). Significant differences in CI (P < 0.001) were detected between children weighing <10 kg (1.9 ± 0.73 l/min/1.73 m(2); range 1-3.2), 10-20 kg (2.07 ± 0.7 l/min/1.73 m(2); range 1-3.6), and >20 kg (3.7 ± 0.8 l/min/1.73 m(2); range 2.4-4.9). We conclude that the CI measured by bioreactance in children varies with the age and weight of the patients and is lower than the normal range in a large percentage of measurements. These data suggest that this method is not useful for evaluating CI in small children.

Abstract
AIM To analyze the correlations between hemodynamic, oxygenation and tissue perfusion values in an infant animal model of asphyctic cardiac arrest (ACA). METHODS A prospective observational animal study was performed in seventy one, two month-old piglets. CA was induced by removal of mechanical ventilation and was followed by advanced life support after at least 10 min. Correlations between hemodynamic [heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI) and intrathoracic blood index (ITBI) measured by PiCCO method], blood gas values (arterial and central venous saturation), and tissue perfusion values [intramucosal gastric pH (pHi), and tissue oxygenation (cerebral and renal saturation)] were analyzed during asphyxia, resuscitation and after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). RESULTS Among global hemodynamic parameters, the only moderate significant correlation observed was between CI and ITBI (r = .551). Among tissue oxygenation/perfusion values, a moderate to good significant correlation (r = .460-.763) between arterial oxygen saturation, central venous, renal and cerebral oxygen saturation was observed. Lactic acid, potassium (K) and pHi were correlated (r = .561-.639), but no correlation was found between them and tissue oxygenation parameters. Global hemodynamic parameters (CI, HR, MAP) did not correlate with renal and cerebral saturations and tissue perfusion parameters. CONCLUSIONS During ACA and after ROSC global hemodynamic parameters do not correlate with oxygenation and tissue perfusion values. Additional studies which assess the potential usefulness of tissue oxygenation/perfusion parameters during cardiac arrest and ROSC are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical course in children requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and to analyse factors associated with mortality. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Paediatric intensive care department of a tertiary university hospital. PATIENTS Critically ill children with CRRT were included in the study. INTERVENTION Continuous renal replacement therapy. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyse the influence of each factor on mortality. The ability of the PRISM, PIM II and PELOD severity of illness scores to predict mortality was tested using receiver-operating characteristic curve statistics. A total of 174 children aged between 1 month and 22 years were treated with CRRT. Mortality was 35.6%, and multiorgan failure and haemodynamic disturbances were the principal causes of death. Mortality was higher in children less than 12 months of age (44.7%; P = 0.037) and in patients with a diagnosis of sepsis (44.1%; P = 0.001). Haemodynamic disturbances at the time of starting CRRT (hypotension or need for adrenaline >0.6 microg/kg/min) and the presence of multiorgan failure were the factors associated with an increased risk of mortality. The PRISM scale was the severity score with the best predictive capacity, although all three scales underestimated the actual mortality. CONCLUSIONS Mortality in children who require CRRT is high. Haemodynamic disturbances and the presence of multiorgan failure at the time of starting the technique are the factors associated with a higher mortality. The clinical severity scores underestimate mortality in children requiring CRRT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the ventilation achieved with chest compressions (CC) or ventilation plus compressions (VC) in a pediatric animal model of cardiac arrest. DESIGN Randomized experimental study. SETTING Experimental department of a University Hospital. METHODS Twelve infant pigs with asphyxial cardiac arrest. Sequential 3-min periods of VC and CC were performed for a total duration of 9 min. Tidal volume (TV), end-tidal CO(2) (EtCO(2)), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), and peripheral, cerebral, and renal saturations were recorded and arterial and venous blood gases were analyzed. RESULTS VC achieved a TV similar to the preset parameters on the ventilator, whilst the TV in CC was very low (P < 0.001). EtCO(2) with VC was significantly higher than with CC (14.0 vs. 3.9 mmHg, P < 0.05). Arterial pH was higher with VC than with CC (6.99 vs. 6.90 mmHg, P < 0.05). Arterial PCO(2) was lower with VC than with CC (62.1 vs. 97.0 mmHg, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the MAP; CVP; mPAP; peripheral, renal, and cerebral saturations; or lactate concentrations between the two techniques. CONCLUSIONS VC achieves better ventilation than CC during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and has no negative effect on the hemodynamic situation.
