End-tidal CO? detection of an audible heart rate during neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation after asystole in asphyxiated piglets.

ABSTRACT: Even brief interruption of cardiac compressions significantly reduces critical coronary perfusion pressure during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). End-tidal CO? (ETCO?) monitoring may provide a continuous noninvasive method of assessing return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) without stopping to auscultate for heart rate (HR). However, the ETCO? value that correlates with an audible HR is unknown. Our objective was to determine the threshold ETCO? that is associated with ROSC after asphyxia-induced asystole. Neonatal swine (n = 46) were progressively asphyxiated until asystole occurred. Resuscitation followed current neonatal guidelines with initial ventilation with 100% O? followed by cardiac compressions followed by epinephrine for continued asystole. HR was auscultated every 30 s, and ETCO? was continuously recorded. A receiver operator curve was generated using the calculated sensitivity and specificity for various ETCO? values, where a positive test was defined as the presence of HR >60 bpm by auscultation. An ETCO? cut-off value of 14 mm Hg is the most sensitive ETCO? value with the least false positives. When using ETCO? to guide uninterrupted CPR in this model of asphyxia-induced asystole, auscultative confirmation of return of an adequate HR should be performed when ETCO? ? 14 mm Hg is achieved. Correlation during human neonatal CPR needs further investigation.

Project description:BackgroundSustained inflation (SI) during chest compression (CC = CC+SI) has been recently shown as an alternative method during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in neonates. However, the optimal peak inflation pressure (PIP) of SI during CC+SI to improve ROSC and hemodynamic recovery is unknown.ObjectiveTo examine if different PIPs of SI during CC+SI will improve ROSC and hemodynamic recovery in severely asphyxiated piglets.MethodsTwenty-nine newborn piglets (1-3 days old) were anesthetized, intubated, instrumented and exposed to 30-min normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia. Piglets were randomized into four groups: CC+SI with a PIP of 10 cmH2O (CC+SI_PIP_10, n = 8), a PIP of 20 cmH2O (CC+SI_PIP_20, n = 8), a PIP of 30 cmH2O (CC+SI_PIP_30, n = 8), and a sham-operated control group (n = 5). Heart rate, arterial blood pressure, carotid blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded throughout the experiment.ResultsBaseline parameters were similar between all groups. There was no difference in asphyxiation (duration and degree) between intervention groups. PIP correlated positively with tidal volume (VT) and inversely with exhaled CO2 during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Time to ROSC and rate of ROSC were similar between piglets resuscitated with CC+SI_PIP_10, CC+SI_PIP_20, and CC+SI_PIP_30 cmH2O: median (IQR) 75 (63-193) sec, 94 (78-210) sec, and 85 (70-90) sec; 5/8 (63%), 7/8 (88%), and 3/8 (38%) (p = 0.56 and p = 0.12, respectively). All piglets that achieved ROSC survived to four hours post-resuscitation. Piglets resuscitated with CC+SI_PIP_30 cmH2O exhibited increased concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and tumour necrosis factor-α in the frontoparietal cerebral cortex (both p<0.05 vs. sham-operated controls).ConclusionIn asphyxiated term newborn piglets resuscitated by CC+SI, the use of different PIPs resulted in similar time to ROSC, but PIP at 30 cmH2O showed a larger VT delivery, lower exhaled CO2 and increased tissue inflammatory markers in the brain.

Project description:Unrecognized endobronchial intubation frequently occurs after emergency intubation. However, no study has evaluated the effect of one-lung ventilation on end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We compared the hemodynamic parameters, blood gases, and ETCO2 during one-lung ventilation with those during conventional two-lung ventilation in a pig model of CPR, to determine the effect of the former on ETCO2. A randomized crossover study was conducted in 12 pigs intubated with double-lumen endobronchial tube to achieve lung separation. During CPR, the animals underwent three 5-min ventilation trials based on a randomized crossover design: left-lung, right-lung, or two-lung ventilation. Arterial blood gases were measured at the end of each ventilation trial. Ventilation was provided using the same tidal volume throughout the ventilation trials. Comparison using generalized linear mixed model revealed no significant group effects with respect to aortic pressure, coronary perfusion pressure, and carotid blood flow; however, significant group effect in terms of ETCO2 was found (P < 0.001). In the post hoc analyses, ETCO2 was lower during the right-lung ventilation than during the two-lung (P = 0.006) or left-lung ventilation (P < 0.001). However, no difference in ETCO2 was detected between the left-lung and two-lung ventilations. The partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2), partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2), and oxygen saturation (SaO2) differed among the three types of ventilation (P = 0.003, P = 0.001, and P = 0.001, respectively). The post hoc analyses revealed a higher PaCO2, lower PaO2, and lower SaO2 during right-lung ventilation than during two-lung or left-lung ventilation. However, the levels of these blood gases did not differ between the left-lung and two-lung ventilations. In a pig model of CPR, ETCO2 was significantly lower during right-lung ventilation than during two-lung ventilation. However, interestingly, ETCO2 during left-lung ventilation was comparable to that during two-lung ventilation.
