Timing of Prehospital Advanced Airway Management for Adult Patients With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Nationwide Cohort Study in Japan.

ABSTRACT: Background The timing of advanced airway management (AAM) on patient outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has not been fully investigated. We evaluated the association between the timing of prehospital AAM and 1-month survival. Methods and Results We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective, nationwide, population-based out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry in Japan. We included emergency medical services-treated adult (≥18 years) out-of-hospital cardiac arrests from 2014 through 2017, stratified into initial shockable or nonshockable rhythms. Patients who received AAM at any minute after emergency medical services-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation underwent risk-set matching with patients who were at risk of receiving AAM within the same minute using time-dependent propensity scores. Eleven thousand three hundred six patients with AAM in shockable and 163 796 with AAM in nonshockable cohorts, respectively, underwent risk-set matching. For shockable rhythms, the risk ratios (95% CIs) of AAM on 1-month survival were 1.01 (0.89-1.15) between 0 and 5 minutes, 1.06 (0.98-1.15) between 5 and 10 minutes, 0.99 (0.87-1.12) between 10 and 15 minutes, 0.74 (0.59-0.92) between 15 and 20 minutes, 0.61 (0.37-1.00) between 20 and 25 minutes, and 0.73 (0.26-2.07) between 25 and 30 minutes after emergency medical services-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation. For nonshockable rhythms, the risk ratios of AAM were 1.12 (1.00-1.27) between 0 and 5 minutes, 1.34 (1.25-1.44) between 5 and 10 minutes, 1.39 (1.26-1.54) between 10 and 15 minutes, 1.20 (0.99-1.45) between 15 and 20 minutes, 1.18 (0.80-1.73) between 20 and 25 minutes, 0.63 (0.29-1.38) between 25 and 30 minutes, and 0.44 (0.11-1.69) after 30 minutes. Conclusions In this observational study, the timing of AAM was not statistically associated with improved 1-month survival for shockable rhythms, but AAM within 15 minutes after emergency medical services-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation was associated with improved 1-month survival for nonshockable rhythms.

Project description:BackgroundTrans-nasal evaporative cooling is an effective method to induce intra-arrest therapeutic hypothermia in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The use of supraglottic airway devices (SGA) instead of endotracheal intubation may enable shorter time intervals to induce cooling. We aimed to study the outcomes in OHCA patients receiving endotracheal intubation (ETI) or a SGA during intra-arrest trans-nasal evaporative cooling.MethodsThis is a pre-specified sub-study of the PRINCESS trial (NCT01400373) that included witnessed OHCA patients randomized during resuscitation to trans-nasal intra-arrest cooling vs. standard care followed by temperature control at 33 °C for 24 h. For this study, patients randomized to intra-arrest cooling were stratified according to the use of ETI vs. SGA prior to the induction of cooling. SGA was placed by paramedics in the first-tier ambulance or by physicians or anesthetic nurses in the second tier while ETI was performed only after the arrival of the second tier. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for differences at the baseline between the two groups. The primary outcome was survival with good neurological outcome, defined as cerebral performance category (CPC) 1-2 at 90 days. Secondary outcomes included time to place airway, overall survival at 90 days, survival with complete neurologic recovery (CPC 1) at 90 days and sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).ResultsOf the 343 patients randomized to the intervention arm (median age 64 years, 24% were women), 328 received intra-arrest cooling and had data on the airway method (n = 259 with ETI vs. n = 69 with SGA). Median time from the arrival of the first-tier ambulance to successful airway management was 8 min for ETI performed by second tier and 4 min for SGA performed by the first or second tier (p = 0.001). No significant differences in the probability of good neurological outcome (OR 1.43, 95% CI 0.64-3.01), overall survival (OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.57-2.55), full neurological recovery (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.52-2.73) or sustained ROSC (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.50-1.52) were observed between ETI and SGA.ConclusionsAmong the OHCA patients treated with trans-nasal evaporative intra-arrest cooling, the use of SGA was associated with a significantly shorter time to airway management and with similar outcomes compared to ETI.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the changes in cardiac arrest rhythms from the prehospital stage to the ED (emergency department) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients without prehospital returns of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).MethodsThis retrospective analysis was performed using nationwide population-based OHCA data from South Korea between 2012 and 2016. Patients with OHCA with medical causes and without prehospital ROSC were included and divided into four groups according to the nature of their cardiac arrest rhythms (shockable or non-shockable) in the prehospital stage and in the ED: (1) the shockable and shockable (Shock-Shock) group, (2) the shockable and non-shockable (Shock-NShock) group, (3) the non-shockable and shockable (NShock-Shock) group, and (4) the non-shockable and non-shockable (NShock-NShock) group. The presence of a shockable rhythm was confirmed based on the delivery of an electrical shock. Propensity score matching and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the effect of changes in the cardiac rhythms on patient outcomes. The primary outcome was sustained ROSC in the ED; the secondary outcomes were survival to hospital discharge and good neurological outcomes at hospital discharge.ResultsAfter applying the exclusion criteria, 51,060 eligible patients were included in the study (Shock-Shock, 4223; Shock-NShock, 3060; NShock-Shock, 11,509; NShock-NShock, 32,268). The propensity score-matched data were extracted from the six comparative subgroups. For sustained ROSC in the ED, Shock-Shock showed a higher likelihood than Shock-NShock (P <0.01) and NShock-NShock (P <0.01), Shock-NShock showed a lower likelihood than NShock-Shock (P <0.01) and NShock-NShock (P <0.01), NShock-Shock showed a higher likelihood NShock-NShock (P <0.01). For survival to hospital discharge, Shock-Shock showed a higher likelihood than Shock-NShock (P <0.01), NShock-Shock (P <0.01), and NShock-NShock (P <0.01), Shock-NShock showed a higher likelihood than NShock-Shock (P <0.01) and NShock-NShock (P <0.01), of sustained ROSC in the ED. For good neurological outcomes, Shock-Shock showed higher likelihood than Shock-NShock (P <0.01), NShock-Shock (P <0.01), and NShock-NShock (P <0.01), Shock-NShock showed better likelihood than NShock-NShock (P <0.01), NShock-Shock showed a better likelihood than NShock-NShock (P <0.01).ConclusionSustained ROSC in the ED may be expected for patients with shockable rhythms in the ED compared with those with non-shockable rhythms in the ED. For the clinical outcomes, survival to hospital discharge and neurological outcomes, patients with Shock-Shock showed the best outcome, whereas patients with NShock-NShock showed the poorest outcome and Shock-NShock showed a higher likelihood of achieving survival to hospital discharge with no significant differences in the neurological outcomes compared with NShock-Shock.

Project description:ObjectivesThis research aimed to answer the following questions: What are the costs of prehospital advanced life support (ALS) and prehospital critical care for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)? What is the cost-effectiveness of prehospital ALS? What improvement in survival rates from OHCA would prehospital critical care need to achieve in order to be cost-effective?SettingA single National Health Service ambulance service and a charity-funded prehospital critical care service in England.ParticipantsThe patient population is adult, non-traumatic OHCA.MethodsWe combined data from previously published research with data provided by a regional ambulance service and air ambulance charity to create a decision tree model, coupled with a Markov model, of costs and outcomes following OHCA. We compared no treatment for OHCA to the current standard of care of prehospital ALS, and prehospital ALS to prehospital critical care. To reflect the uncertainty in the underlying data, we used probabilistic and two-way sensitivity analyses.ResultsCosts of prehospital ALS and prehospital critical care were £347 and £1711 per patient, respectively. When costs and outcomes of prehospital, in-hospital and postdischarge phase of OHCA care were combined, prehospital ALS was estimated to be cost-effective at £11 407/quality-adjusted life year. In order to be cost-effective in addition to ALS, prehospital critical care for OHCA would need to achieve a minimally economically important difference (MEID) in survival to hospital discharge of 3%-5%.ConclusionThis is the first economic analysis to address the question of cost-effectiveness of prehospital critical care following OHCA. While costs of either prehospital ALS and/or critical care per patient with OHCA are relatively low, significant costs are incurred during hospital treatment and after discharge in patients who survive. Knowledge of the MEID for prehospital critical care can guide future research in this field.Trial registration numberISRCTN18375201.
