Project description:Background: Targeted therapeutic mild hypercapnia may attenuate brain injury in comatose adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Objective: To describe the study protocol and statistical analysis plan for the Targeted Therapeutic Mild Hypercapnia after Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest (TAME) trial. Design, setting, participants and interventions: TAME is a phase 3, multicentre, parallel-group, participant- and outcome assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial that will be conducted in intensive care units in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Singapore, Central and Western Europe, and the United Kingdom. A total of 1700 comatose adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest will be randomly assigned to 24 hours of targeted therapeutic mild hypercapnia (arterial carbon dioxide tension 50-55 mmHg) or targeted normocapnia (arterial carbon dioxide tension 35-45 mmHg) in a 1:1 ratio. TAME recruitment began in March 2018 and is expected to be complete in September 2021. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome measure is the proportion of participants with a favourable functional outcome at 6 months. Functional outcomes will be assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE); this scale ranges from 1 to 8, with a higher value indicating a better outcome. We will define participants with a GOSE of 5 to 8 as having a favourable functional outcome. Secondary outcomes include 6-month mortality, cognitive function and quality of life. All analyses will be conducted on an intention-to-treat basis. Results and conclusions: TAME will compare the effect of targeted therapeutic mild hypercapnia versus targeted normocapnia on functional outcomes in adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who are admitted to an intensive care unit. Trial registration: Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12617000036314p) and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03114033).

Project description:AimTo determine whether targeting mild hypercapnia (PaCO2 7 kPa) would yield improved cerebral blood flow and metabolism compared to normocapnia (PaCO2 5 kPa) with and without targeted temperature management to 33 °C (TTM33) in a porcine post-cardiac arrest model.Methods39 pigs were resuscitated after 10 minutes of cardiac arrest using cardiopulmonary bypass and randomised to TTM33 or no-TTM, and hypercapnia or normocapnia. TTM33 was managed with intravasal cooling. Animals were stabilized for 30 minutes followed by a two-hour intervention period. Hemodynamic parameters were measured continuously, and neuromonitoring included intracranial pressure (ICP), pressure reactivity index, cerebral blood flow, brain-tissue pCO2 and microdialysis. Measurements are reported as proportion of baseline, and areas under the curve during the 120 min intervention period were compared.ResultsHypercapnia increased cerebral flow in both TTM33 and no-TTM groups, but also increased ICP (199% vs. 183% of baseline, p = 0.018) and reduced cerebral perfusion pressure (70% vs. 84% of baseline, p < 0.001) in no-TTM animals. Cerebral lactate (196% vs. 297% of baseline, p < 0.001), pyruvate (118% vs. 152% of baseline, p < 0.001), glycerol and lactate/pyruvate ratios were lower with hypercapnia in the TTM33 group, but only pyruvate (133% vs. 150% of baseline, p = 0.002) was lower with hypercapnia among no-TTM animals.ConclusionIn this porcine post-arrest model, hypercapnia led to increased cerebral flow both with and without hypothermia, but also increased ICP and reduced cerebral perfusion pressure in no-TTM animals. The effects of hypercapnia were different with and without TTM.(Institutional protocol number: FOTS, id 14931).

Project description:In spite of many years of development and implementation of pre-hospital advanced life support programmes, the survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) used to be very poor. Neurologic injury from cerebral hypoxia is the most common cause of death in patients with OHCA. In the past two decades, post-resuscitation care has developed many new concepts aimed at improving the neurological outcome and survival rate of patients after cardiac arrest. Systematic post-cardiac arrest care after the return of spontaneous circulation, including induced mild therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in selected patients, is aimed at significantly improving rates of long-term neurologically intact survival. This review summarises the history and current knowledge in the field of mild TH after OHCA.

Project description:BackgroundMild therapeutic hypothermia is recommended for comatose patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest. However, the prevalence of delirium and its associated risk factors have not been assessed in survivors of cardiac arrest treated with therapeutic hypothermia.ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of and risk factors for delirium among survivors of cardiac arrest who were treated with therapeutic hypothermia.MethodsA retrospective observational study of patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest from 2007 through 2014. Baseline demographic data and daily delirium assessments throughout the intensive care unit stay were obtained. The association between duration of delirium and various risk factors was assessed.ResultsOf 251 patients, 107 (43%) awoke from coma. Among the 107 survivors, all had at least 1 day of delirium during their intensive care unit stay. Median number of days of delirium was 4.0 (interquartile range, 2.0-7.5). Multivariable analysis revealed that age (odds ratio, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.0-2.95; P = .05), time from cardiopulmonary resuscitation to return of spontaneous circulation (odds ratio 1.52; 95% CI, 1.11-2.07; P = .01), and total dose of prewarming propofol (odds ratio, 0.02; 95% CI, 0.00-0.48; P = .02) were associated with duration of delirium.ConclusionsAll survivors of cardiac arrest treated with mild therapeutic hypothermia had at least 1 day of delirium. Age and time from initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to return of spontaneous circulation were associated with prolonged delirium, whereas exposure to propofol was protective against delirium. These findings are limited to this unique cohort and may not be generalizable to different populations.

Project description:BackgroundWe sought to evaluate the effect of mild hypercapnia on brain tissue oxygen tension (Pbto2) and diffusion limitation (impaired ability of oxygen extraction) in a porcine post asphyxial cardiac arrest model.MethodsIn 16 Bama pigs, asphyxial cardiac arrest was induced by endotracheal tube clamping and remained untreated for another 4 min. After return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), animals were randomly assigned to mild hypercapnia (end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2): 45 ~ 50 mmHg) and normocapnia (EtCO2: 35 ~ 40 mmHg) groups for 12 h. Intracranial pressure (ICP), Pbto2, and brain tissue temperature were invasively measured by multimodality monitors. Blood gas analysis, neuron specific enolase (NSE), and S100β were tested at baseline, ROSC 1 h, 6 h, and 12 h. Generalized mixed model with a compound symmetry covariance matrix was used to compare the time-variables of the two groups.ResultsTwelve (75%) pigs had ROSC and 11 pigs survived for the study period, with 6 pigs in mild hypercapnia group and 5 in the normocapnia group. The mean EtCO2 in the mild hypercapnia was significantly higher than normocapnia group (48 vs 38 mmHg, p < 0.001). Compared with normocapnia, mild hypercapnia group had higher Pbto2 (p < 0.001), slightly higher mean arterial pressure (p = 0.012) and ICP (p = 0.009). There were no differences in cerebral perfusion pressure (p = 0.106), gradient of partial pressure of jugular venous bulb oxygen (Pjvo2) and Pbto2 (p = 0.262), difference of partial pressure of jugular venous CO2 and arterial CO2 (p = 0.546), cardiac output (p = 0.712), NSE (p = 0.822), and S100β (p = 0.759) between the two groups.ConclusionsShort term mild hypercapnia post-resuscitation could improve Pbto2. However, no corresponding improvements in the gradient of Pjvo2 to Pbto2 and biomarkers of neurological recovery were observed in the porcine asphyxial cardiac arrest model.

Project description:BackgroundMild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) is a recommended treatment of comatose patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The aim of the study was to examine determinants of clinical outcome in OHCA survivors treated with MTH and variables associated with MTH induction time.MethodsPresented herein is an analysis of combined results from a retrospective and a prospective observational study which included 90 OHCA survivors treated with MTH from January 2010 to March 2018. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine variables associated with poor neurologic outcome (Cerebral Performance Category 3-5), mortality, and prolonged induction time.ResultsAt hospital discharge, 59 (65.6%) patients were alive, of whom 36 (61%) had a good neurologic outcome. Older patients (odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.12) with lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.30-0.80) were at higher risk of poor neurological outcome. The predictors of in-hospital death included: older age (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02-1.13), lower GCS score (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.25-0.85), presence of cardiogenic shock (OR 3.43, 95% CI 1.11-10.53), and higher doses of adrenaline (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.04-1.56). Longer induction was associated with shorter cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (unstandardized coefficient -3.95, 95% CI -7.09 to -0.81) and lower lactate level (unstandardized coefficient -18.55, 95% CI -36.10 to -1.01).ConclusionsUnfavorable neurologic outcome in OHCA patients treated with MTH is associated with age and lower GCS score. Risk factors for in-hospital mortality include age, high-dose adrenaline administration, lower GCS score and presence of cardiogenic shock. CPR duration and lactate level were predictive of prolonged MTH induction time.

Project description:ObjectiveFor comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), current guidelines recommend targeted temperature management (TTM) with a goal temperature of 32 °C-36 °C for at least 24 h. We examined adherence to temperature targets, quantified as time-in-therapeutic range (TTR), and association of TTR with survival and neurologic outcomes.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium-Continuous Chest Compressions trial, including adults with OHCA who underwent TTM for >12 h. We imputed continuous temperatures between consecutive temperature measurements using the linear interpolation method and calculated TTR for multiple target temperatures. The association of TTR with survival to hospital discharge and favorable neurological outcome was evaluated using hierarchical regression models.Main resultsAmong 2,637 patients (mean age 62.3 years, 29.9 % female), the median duration of TTR for TTM between 32 °C-36 °C was 23 (IQR: 21-24) hours with a median time outside therapeutic range of 0.9 (IQR: 0.0-4.2) hours. In risk-adjusted analyses, there was no association of TTR of 32 °C-36 °C with overall survival (OR 1.00 [95 % CI, 0.90-1.10]) or favorable neurologic outcome (1.02 [95 % CI, 0.90-1.14]). However, in assessments of TTR 33 °C-36 °C, there was a significant association with favorable neurologic survival (OR 1.12 [1.01-1.25]) but not overall survival (OR 1.04 [0.94-1.15]).ConclusionsAmong patients with OHCA who underwent TTM, we found variability in adherence to guideline-recommended treatment targets. Higher TTR was not associated with overall survival, but for certain temperature thresholds, TTR was associated with favorable neurologic outcome.

Project description:The determination of coma patient prognosis after cardiac arrest has clinical, ethical and social implications. Neurological examination, imaging and biochemical markers are helpful tools accepted as reliable in predicting recovery. With the advent of therapeutic hypothermia, these data need to be reconfirmed. In this study, we attempted to determine the validity of different markers, which can be used in the detection of patients with poor prognosis under hypothermia.Data from adult patients admitted to our intensive care unit for a hypothermia protocol after cardiac arrest were recorded prospectively to generate a descriptive and analytical study analyzing the relationship between clinical, neurophysiological, imaging and biochemical parameters with 6-month outcomes defined according to the Cerebral Performance Categories scale (good 1-2, poor 3-5). Neuron-specific enolase was collected at 72 hours. Imaging and neurophysiologic exams were carried out in the 24 hours after the rewarming period.Sixty-seven patients were included in the study, of which 12 had good neurological outcomes. Ventricular fibrillation and electroencephalographic theta activity were associated with increased likelihood of survival and improved neurological outcomes. Patients who had more rapid cooling (mean time of 163 versus 312 minutes), hypoxic-ischemic brain injury on magnetic resonance imaging or neuron-specific enolase > 58ng/mL had poor neurological outcomes (p < 0.05).Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury on magnetic resonance imaging and neuron-specific enolase were strong predictors of poor neurological outcomes. Although there is the belief that early achievement of target temperature improves neurological prognoses, in our study, there were increased mortality and worse neurological outcomes with earlier target-temperature achievement.

Project description:Guidelines recommend mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) for survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, there is little literature demonstrating a survival benefit. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the efficacy of MTH in patients successfully resuscitated from OHCA.Electronic databases were searched for RCT involving MTH in survivors of OHCA, and the results were put through a meta-analysis. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoint was favorable neurological function. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed using the Mantel-Haenszel method. A fixed-effect model was used and, if heterogeneity (I2 ) was >40, effects were analyzed using a random model.Six RCT (n = 1400 patients) were included. Overall survival was 50.7%, and favorable neurological recovery was 45.5%. Pooled data demonstrated no significant all-cause mortality (OR, 0.81; 95% CI 0.55-1.21) or neurological recovery (OR, 0.77; 95% CI 0.47-1.24). No evidence of publication bias was observed.This meta-analysis demonstrated that MTH did not confer benefit on overall survival rate and neurological recovery in patients resuscitated from OHCA.
