Background: Currently, the data regarding the impact of prehospital postcardiac arrest anesthesia on target hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters of early postresuscitation care and recommendations on its implementation are rare. The present study examines the incidence and impact of prehospital postcardiac arrest anesthesia on hemodynamic and ventilatory target parameters of postresuscitation care.
Methods: In this multicentre observational study between 2019 and 2021 unconscious adult patients after out-of-hospital-cardiac arrest with the presence of a return-of-spontaneous circulation until hospital admission were included.
Article Synopsis
- An investigation was conducted to assess the impact of midazolam used for post-arrest sedation on achieving essential post-resuscitation care targets and the risk of hemodynamic complications in patients who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
- The study reviewed emergency rescue missions from 2019-2021 and found that among patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), those receiving midazolam were more likely to meet recommended targets for blood pressure, oxygen levels, and carbon dioxide levels compared to those who did not receive sedation.
- The results suggest that using midazolam during the pre-hospital phase improves the chances of meeting critical oxygenation and ventilation goals in post-arrest patients, indicating its potential benefit in
Secondary transports of patients from one hospital to another are indicated for medical reasons or to address local constraints in capacity. In particular, interhospital transports of critically ill infectious patients present a logistical challenge and can be key in the effective management of pandemic situations. The state of Saxony in Germany has two characteristics that allow for an extensive evaluation of secondary transports in the pandemic year 2020/2021.
