Article Synopsis
- The PRINCESS2-study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrafast hypothermia (cooling initiated during or immediately after cardiac arrest) on neurologic recovery in patients who have suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with shockable rhythms, compared to standard care without early cooling.
- The trial will involve randomly assigning 1022 patients to either receive trans-nasal cooling shortly after arrival of emergency medical services, followed by in-hospital hypothermia, or to receive standard care without cooling.
- The primary outcome measured will be survival with complete neurologic recovery at 90 days, with secondary outcomes including overall survival rates at hospital discharge and 90 days, and neurologic recovery scores.*
Article Synopsis
- Despite advances in mechanical circulatory support, patients with cardiogenic shock still have a poor prognosis, prompting the need for improved rapid care initiatives.
- This document emphasizes the importance of a structured "SC code" to enhance the organization, activation, and care flow for cardiogenic shock patients.
- The authors aim to outline the unique aspects of cardiogenic shock, team logistics, management strategies, and the challenges of implementing an SC code in both adult and pediatric cases.
