AI Article Synopsis

  • This study investigates the relationship between mortality rates for patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) based on where in the hospital their cardiac arrest occurs, as well as the effect of moving patients for cannulation on their outcomes.
  • The research analyzed data from 2,515 patients who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest between 2020 and 2023 at hospitals reporting to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO).
  • Results showed significantly higher odds of mortality for patients who had cardiac arrests in the ICU or acute care beds compared to those in the cardiac catheterization lab, while relocating patients for cannulation did not have a notable impact on survival rates.

Article Abstract

Objectives: Explore whether extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) mortality differs by in-hospital cardiac arrest location and whether moving patients for cannulation impacts outcome.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: ECPR hospitals that report data to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO).

Patients: Patients having ECPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest between 2020 and 2023 with data in the ELSO registry.

Interventions: None.

Measurements And Main Results: Patient demographics, comorbidities, pre-cardiac arrest conditions, pre-ECPR vasopressor use, cardiac arrest details, ECPR cannulation information, major complications, and in-hospital mortality were recorded. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to examine the associations between in-hospital mortality and 1) cardiac arrest location and 2) moving a patient for ECPR cannulation. A total of 2515 patients met enrollment criteria. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for mortality was increased in patients who had a cardiac arrest in the ICU (aOR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.45-2.38; p < 0.001) and in patients who had a cardiac arrest in an acute care bed (aOR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.09-2.58; p = 0.02) compared with the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Moving a patient for cannulation had no association with mortality (aOR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.18-2.81; p = 0.62). Advanced patient age was associated with increased mortality. Specifically, patients 60-69 and patients 70 years old or older were more likely to die compared with patients younger than 30 years old (aOR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.17-2.50; p = 0.006 and aOR, 2.27; 95% CI, 1.49-3.48; p < 0.001, respectively).

Conclusions: ECPR patients who experienced cardiac arrest in the ICU and in acute care hospital beds had increased odds of mortality compared with other locations. Moving patients for ECPR cannulation was not associated with improved outcomes.

Temperature management plays a critical role in the neurological recovery of cardiac arrest survivors. While advanced device-based temperature control systems are prevalent in high-resource settings, their implementation in low-resource environments remains a challenge. This study aimed to examine the impact of fever prevention on neurological outcomes in cardiac arrest survivors managed without device-based temperature control.

Hybrid Arch Aneurysm Repair With Ascending Aortic Wrap and TEVAR.

J Endovasc Ther

January 2025

Aortic Center, Hôpital Marie-Lannelongue, Groupe Hospitalier Paris Saint Joseph, Université Paris-Saclay, INSERM UMR_S 999, Le Plessis Robinson, France.

Introduction: Management of patients with large aortic arch aneurysms who are considered high risk for frozen elephant trunk technique have been challenging, especially when they have a dilated ascending aorta (AA) that precludes total endovascular branched repair (arch BEVAR). A viable option in our armamentarium is wrapping of the AA (AW), and zone 0 Ishimaru TEVAR.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of our aortic database from 2013 to 2024 to select high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysm that had an AW and TEVAR.
