We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of dynamic changes in arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) measured after the start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This prospective observational study was conducted at the emergency department of a university hospital from February 2018 to February 2020. All blood samples for gas analysis were collected from a radial or femoral arterial line, which was inserted during CPR. Changes in ABGA parameters were expressed as delta (Δ), defined as the values of the second ABGA minus the values of the initial ABGA. The primary outcome was sustained ROSC. Out of the 80 patients included in the analysis, 13 achieved sustained ROSC after in-hospital resuscitation. Multivariable logistic analysis revealed that ΔpaO (odds ratio [OR] = 1.023; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.004-1.043, p = 0.020) along with prehospital shockable rhythm (OR = 84.680; 95% CI = 2.561-2799.939, p = 0.013) and total resuscitation duration (OR = 0.881; 95% CI = 0.805-0.964, p = 0.006) were significant predictors for sustained ROSC. Our study suggests a possible association between ΔpaO in ABGA during CPR and an increased rate of sustained ROSC in the late phase of OHCA.

Severe accidental hypothermia can lead to cardiac arrest. The most efficient method of resuscitating and warming is by ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation). While the convention is to use VA ECMO (Veno Arterial ECMO), using VV ECMO (Veno Venous ECMO) in which the blood is returned directly into the right ventricle could be an alternative and lead to conversion to life sustaining cardiac rhythm.

Article Synopsis
  • ECPR has enabled previously ineligible patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • A study examined 671 patients over five years, finding that 37% of them had refractory cardiac arrest despite ECPR, with about 65% achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) post-PCI and 21% surviving to discharge.
  • Key factors influencing survival included having prehospital ROSC, quicker ECPR initiation, and achieving a high TIMI flow grade after the procedure.

Background: Epinephrine is currently the only recommended cardio-resuscitative medication for use in neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), as per consensus of science and treatment recommendations. An alternative medication, vasopressin, may be beneficial, however there is limited data regarding its effect on cardiac and brain tissue following recovery from neonatal CPR.

Aim: To compare the effects of vasopressin and epinephrine during resuscitation of asphyxiated post-transitional piglets on cardiac and brain tissue injury.

Intraosseous and intravenous vascular access during adult cardiac arrest: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Resuscitation

Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark; Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.

Objective: To summarise evidence on the clinical effectiveness of initial vascular attempts via the intraosseous route compared to the intravenous route in adult cardiac arrest.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE and Embase (OVID platform), the Cochrane library, and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform from inception to September 4th 2024 for randomised clinical trials comparing the intraosseous route with the intravenous route in adult cardiac arrest. Our primary outcome was 30-day survival.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and survival rates of paediatric patients receiving resuscitation for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in a teaching hospital in Northern Jordan, comparing initial pulseless rhythms and bradycardia rhythm with poor perfusion.

Design: Retrospective observational study SETTING: An university-affiliated tertiary hospital in Northern Jordan, covering January 2015 to December 2022.

Patients: All hospitalised paediatric patients aged 1 month-18 years who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for cardiac arrest were included in the study.
