Objective: In endovascular therapy (EVT) for stroke, futile recanalization contributes to poor prognosis. Mild hypercapnia may enhance cerebral blood flow and prevent ischemia, but its impact on prognosis in successfully recanalized EVT patients is unclear.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 237 patients from the INSPIRE database who underwent successful recanalization at our center (October 2018-March 2022). Patients were grouped by post-EVT PaCO levels: high (40-50 mmHg) and low (<40 mmHg). Significant infarct expansion (SIE) was defined as a decrease in ASPECTS or pc-ASPECTS by ≥2 from initial to 3-5 days post-EVT. Poor outcome was modified Rankin Scale score 3-6 at 90 days.
Results: High PaCO was negatively associated with SIE (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.84) and poor outcome (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.87). Mediation analysis showed a significant total effect of high PaCO on poor outcome (coefficient -0.192, 95% CI -0.345 to -0.046), including an indirect effect mediated by SIE (coefficient -0.055, 95% CI -0.10 to -0.006). These associations were consistent in anterior circulation stroke and patients without severe low PaCO (<30 mmHg).
Conclusion: Maintaining mild hypercapnia (PaCO 40-50 mmHg) after EVT may prevent poor outcomes by reducing post-EVT infarct progression.

High Normocapnia and Better Functional Outcome in Patients Undergoing Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Okinawa Prefectural Chubu Hospital, Uruma, Japan.
Background: The optimal target for Paco remains uncertain in patients undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Research Question: Are Paco levels associated with functional outcomes in patients receiving VA-ECMO after OHCA?
Study Design And Methods: This multicenter, registry-based observational study, conducted from 2014 to 2020, included nontraumatic adult patients with OHCA and VA-ECMO with Paco levels measured within 6 hours of initiation (initial Paco set) and 18 to 30 hours postinitiation (24-hour Paco set). Paco levels were categorized into 5 groups: hypocapnia (< 30 mm Hg), low normocapnia (30 to < 40 mm Hg), high normocapnia (40 to < 50 mm Hg), mild hypercapnia (50 to < 60 mm Hg), and moderate to severe hypercapnia (≥ 60 mm Hg).
Association of Medial Temporal Lobe Cerebrovascular Reactivity and Memory Function in Older Adults With and Without Cognitive Impairment.

Background And Objectives: Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) represents the ability of cerebral blood vessels to regulate blood flow in response to vasoactive stimuli and is related to cognition in cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative conditions. However, few studies have examined CVR in the medial temporal lobe, known to be affected early in Alzheimer disease and to influence memory function. We aimed to examine whether medial temporal CVR is associated with memory function in older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
