Targeted Temperature Management After Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Due To Drowning: Outcomes and Complications.

ABSTRACT: To describe outcomes and complications in the drowning subgroup from the Therapeutic Hypothermia After Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Out-of-Hospital trial.Exploratory post hoc cohort analysis.Twenty-four PICUs.Pediatric drowning cases.Therapeutic hypothermia versus therapeutic normothermia.An exploratory study of pediatric drowning from the Therapeutic Hypothermia After Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Out-of-Hospital trial was conducted. Comatose patients aged more than 2 days and less than 18 years were randomized up to 6 hours following return-of-circulation to hypothermia (n = 46) or normothermia (n = 28). Outcomes assessed included 12-month survival with a Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale score of greater than or equal to 70, 1-year survival rate, change in Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-II score from prearrest to 12 months, and select safety measures. Seventy-four drowning cases were randomized. In patients with prearrest Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-II greater than or equal to 70 (n = 65), there was no difference in 12-month survival with Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-II score of greater than or equal to 70 between hypothermia and normothermia groups (29% vs 17%; relative risk, 1.74; 95% CI, 0.61-4.95; p = 0.27). Among all evaluable patients (n = 68), the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-II score change from baseline to 12 months did not differ (p = 0.46), and 1-year survival was similar (49% hypothermia vs 42%, normothermia; relative risk, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.68-1.99; p = 0.58). Hypothermia was associated with a higher prevalence of positive bacterial culture (any blood, urine, or respiratory sample; 67% vs 43%; p = 0.04); however, the rate per 100 days at risk did not differ (11.1 vs 8.4; p = 0.46). Cumulative incidence of blood product use, serious arrhythmias, and 28-day mortality were not different. Among patients with cardiopulmonary resuscitation durations more than 30 minutes or epinephrine doses greater than 4, none had favorable Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category outcomes (? 3).In comatose survivors of out-of-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest due to drowning, hypothermia did not result in a statistically significant benefit in survival with good functional outcome or mortality at 1 year, as compared with normothermia. High risk of culture-proven bacterial infection was observed in both groups.

Project description:IntroductionProtocolized postarrest care that includes targeted temperature management (TTM) improves survival and neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest survivors. Whether the accumulated experience regarding the use of the protocolized approach also benefits patients who did not undergo TTM has yet to be investigated.MethodsAdults (≥18 years old) with nontraumatic cardiac arrest and who survived to intensive care unit (ICU) admission were retrospectively recruited from a single tertiary medical centre from 2006 to 2009 and 2011 to 2017. Patients were excluded if they had traumatic injuries, were pregnant, did not survive to ICU admission, regained clear consciousness within 3 h after the return of spontaneous circulation, or underwent TTM. The sum of TTM cases since 2006 and before the cardiac arrest of each enrolled patient was used as a substitute index for the amount of experience accumulated from the use of protocolized TTM care.ResultsIn total, 802 non-TTM patients were enrolled in the final analysis. The rate of survival to hospital discharge increased from 25.9% in 2006 to 33.3% in 2017. Regarding neurological recovery at hospital discharge, the incidence of favourable neurological function (cerebral performance category: 1 or 2) increased from 10.3% in 2006 to 23.5% in 2017. A multiple logistic regression indicated a significant association between the cumulative TTM case numbers and neurological outcomes in patients who did not receive TTM.ConclusionsThe improvement of neurological outcomes in adult nontraumatic cardiac arrest survivors who did not receive TTM was associated with the cumulative number of cases receiving protocolized TTM care. In the era of TTM, the use of only historical control data might lead to bias, which is caused by overlooking the influence of a more refined protocolized postarrest care that includes TTM.KEY MESSAGEThe cumulative number of cases receiving protocolized TTM care, which we used as a substitute index for the amount of experience accumulated from the use of protocolized postarrest care that includes TTM, was associated with the improvement of neurological outcomes in adult nontraumatic cardiac arrest survivors who did not receive TTM.
