Explorative study on lower inflection point dynamics during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: Potential implications for airway management Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-15 Arthur Bouillon, Maxim Vanwulpen, Thomas Tackaert, Ruben Cornelis, Said Hachimi-Idrissi
In patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after an Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA), intrathoracic airway closure can impede ventilation, adversely affecting patient outcomes. This explorative study investigates the evolution of intrathoracic airway closure by analyzing the lower inflection point (LIP) during the inspiration phase of CPR, aiming to identify the potential thresholds

Development and preliminary assessment of a machine learning model to predict myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest after major operations Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-15 Yas Sanaiha, Arjun Verma, Ayesha P. Ng, Joseph Hadaya, Clifford Y Ko, Christian deVirgilio, Peyman Benharash
Accurate prediction of complications often informs shared decision-making. Derived over 10 years ago to enhance prediction of intra/post-operative myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest (MI/CA), the Gupta score has been criticized for unreliable calibration and inclusion of a wide spectrum of unrelated operations. In the present study, we developed a novel machine learning (ML) model to estimate

Cost of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors compared with matched control groups Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-13 Lola Qvist Kristensen, Maurits W. van Tulder, Hans Eiskjær, Lotte Sørensen, Bettina Wulff Risør, Lisa Gregersen Oestergaard
Societal costs of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors may be extensive due to high health care utilization and sick leave. Knowledge of the costs of OHCA survivors may guide decision-makers to prioritize health resources. The aims of the study were to evaluate the costs of OHCA survivors from a societal perspective, and to compare these costs to the costs of individuals with non-cardiac

Ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation with mechanical chest compressions: How often are two insufflations being given during the 3-second ventilation pauses? Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-07 Lotte C. Doeleman, René Boomars, Anja Radstok, Patrick Schober, Quinten Dellaert, Markus W. Hollmann, Rudolph W. Koster, Hans van Schuppen
Mechanical chest compression devices in 30:2 mode provide 3-second pauses to allow for two insufflations. We aimed to determine how often two insufflations are provided in these ventilation pauses, in order to assess if prehospital providers are able to ventilate out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients successfully during mechanical chest compressions. Data from OHCA cases of the regional ambulance

Biomarkers for neuroprognostication after standard versus extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation – A sub-analysis of Prague-OHCA study Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-20 Helena Brodska, Jana Smalcova, Petra Kavalkova, Danielle R. Lavage, Milan Dusik, Jan Belohlavek, Tomas Drabek
Limited evidence exists for prognostic performance of biomarkers in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with extracorporeal CPR (ECPR). We hypothesized that (1) the time course and (2) prognostic performance of biomarkers might differ between CPR and ECPR in a sub-analysis of Prague-OHCA study. Patients received either CPR ( = 164) or ECPR ( = 92). The primary outcome was

Evaluating the impact of ELSO guideline adherence on favorable neurological outcomes among patients requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-20 Akira Kawauchi, Yohei Okada, Makoto Aoki, Tomoko Ogasawara, Takashi Tagami, Nobuya Kitamura, Mitsunobu Nakamura, SOS-KANTO 2017 Study Group
Selecting the appropriate candidates for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is challenging. Previously, the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) guidelines suggested the example of inclusion criteria. However, it is unclear whether patients who meet the inclusion criteria of the ELSO guidelines have more favorable outcomes. We aimed

A retrospective, multi-agency ‘target trial emulation’ for the comparison of post-resuscitation epinephrine to norepinephrine Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-04 Tanner Smida, Remle P. Crowe, P.S. Martin, James F. Scheidler, Bradley S. Price, James M. Bardes
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the two most commonly used prehospital vasopressors in the United States. Prior studies have suggested that use of a post-ROSC epinephrine infusion may be associated with increased rearrest and mortality in comparison to use of norepinephrine. We used target trial emulation methodology to compare the rates of rearrest and mortality between the groups of OHCA patients

Annually 15,200 children suffer an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the US. Ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/pVT) is the initial rhythm in 10–15% of these arrests.

The Utstein reporting template classifies the etiology of OHCA into “presumed cardiac” and “obvious non-cardiac” or “medical” and “non-medical” categories; however, the accuracy of these classifications is unclear. Ascertaining more accurately the etiology of OHCA is important to tailor advanced life support and identify etiologically consistent patient cohorts for reporting incidence and outcome and

Foreign body airway obstruction resulting in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Denmark – Incidence, survival and interventions Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-09 Signe Amalie Wolthers, Mathias Geldermann Holgersen, Josefine Tangen Jensen, Mikkel Porsborg Andersen, Stig Nikolaj Fasmer Blomberg, Søren Mikkelsen, Helle Collatz Christensen, Theo Walther Jensen
Foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) stands as an important contributor to accidental fatalities, yet prompt bystander interventions have been shown to improve survival. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, interventions, and survival outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) related to FBAO in comparison to patients with non-FBAO OHCA. In this population-based cohort
