Background: In patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), low blood pressure after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) can be a sign of hemodynamic instability. We aimed to investigate whether systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured immediately after ROSC is associated with survival on admission. Methods: Patients with ROSC after OHCA between 2015 and 2018 were included. The primary outcome was survival on admission. Included patients were divided into three groups based on the SBP measured at the time of ROSC: group 1 (SBP ≤90 mmHg), group 2 (SBP 90–120 mmHg), and group 3 (SBP >120 mmHg). Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the relationship between the groups by SBP and outcomes. Results: In the final analysis, 519 patients were included. In the restrictive cubic spline curve, the probability of achieving survival on admission increased gradually from low SBP to approximately 120–130 mmHg, then plateaued at a higher SBP. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, group 1 was independently associated with decreased survival on admission compared to group 2. There was no significant difference between groups 2 and 3. Conclusions: Low blood pressure (SBP ≤90 mmHg) at the time of ROSC was independently associated with a lower likelihood of survival on admission in patients with non‐traumatic OHCA. However, high blood pressure (SBP >120 mmHg) was not associated with a higher likelihood of survival. These suggest that low blood pressure measured in the prehospital phase can serve as an indicator predicting the poor short‐term prognosis of patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Genetic, environment, and behaviour factors have a role in causing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). We aimed to determine the strength of the association between various risk factors and SCA incidence. We conducted a multicentre case-control study at 17 hospitals in Korea from September 2017 to December 2020. The cases included out-of-hospital cardiac arrest aged 19–79 years with presumed cardiac aetiology. Community-based controls were recruited at a 1:1 ratio after matching for age, sex, and urban residence level. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted. Among the 1016 cases and 1731 controls, 948 cases and 948 controls were analysed. A parental history of SCA, low educational level, own heart disease, current smoking, and non-regular exercise were associated with SCA incidence (Adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.51 [1.48–4.28] for parental history of SCA, 1.37 [1.38–2.25] for low edication level, 3.77 [2.38–5.90] for non-coronary artery heart disease, 4.47 [2.84–7.03] for coronary artery disease, 1.39 [1.08–1.79] for current smoking, and 4.06 [3.29–5.02] for non-regular exercise). Various risk factors related to genetics, environment, and behaviour were independently associated with the incidence of SCA. Establishing individualised SCA prevention strategies in addition to general prevention strategies is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to evaluate the risks of diabetes mellitus (DM) on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and to investigate whether the risks of DM on OHCA varied according to the diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of diabetes. We conducted a multicenter prospective case–control study in 17 University hospitals in Korea from September 2017 to December 2020. Cases were EMS-treated OHCA patients aged 20 to 79 with a presumed cardiac etiology. Community-based controls were recruited at a 1:2 ratio after matching for age, sex, and urbanization level of residence. A structured questionnaire and laboratory findings were collected from cases and controls. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate the risk of DM on OHCA by characteristics. A total of 772 OHCA cases and 1544 community-based controls were analyzed. A total of 242 (31.3%) OHCAs and 292 (18.9%) controls were previously diagnosed with DM. The proportions of type I DM (10.7% vs. 2.1%) and insulin therapy (15.3% vs. 6.5%) were higher in OHCAs with DM than in controls with DM. The duration of DM was longer in OHCAs than in controls (median 12 vs. 7 years). DM was associated with an increased risk of OHCA (aOR (95% CI), 2.13 (1.64–2.75)). Compared to the no diabetes group, the risks of OHCA increased in the diabetes patients with type I DM (5.26 (1.72–16.08)) and type II DM group (1.63 (1.18–2.27)), a long duration of DM prevalence (1.04 (1.02–1.06) per 1-year prevalence duration), and a high HbA1c level (1.38 (1.19–1.60) per 1% increase). By treatment modality, the aOR (95% CI) was lowest in the oral hypoglycemic agent (1.47 (1.08–2.01)) and highest in the insulin (6.63 (3.04–14.44)) groups. DM was associated with an increased risk of OHCA, and the risk magnitudes varied according to the diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Automated surveillance for cardiac arrests would be useful in overcrowded emergency departments. The purpose of this study is to develop and test artificial neural network (ANN) classifiers for early detection of patients at risk of cardiac arrest in emergency departments.Methods: This is a single-center electronic health record (EHR)-based study. The primary outcome was the development of cardiac arrest within 24 h after prediction. Three ANN models were trained: multilayer perceptron (MLP), long-short-term memory (LSTM), and hybrid. These were compared to other classifiers including the modified early warning score (MEWS), logistic regression, and random forest. We used AUROC, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) for the comparison.Results: During the study period, there were a total of 374,605 ED visits and 2,910,321 patient status updates. The ANN models (MLP, LSTM, and hybrid) achieved higher AUROC (AUROC: 0.929, 0.933, and 0.936; 95% confidential interval: 0.926-0.932, 0.930-0.936, and 0.933-0.939, respectively) compared to the non-ANN models, and the hybrid model exhibited the best performance. The ANN classifiers displayed higher performance in most of the test characteristics when the threshold levels of the classifiers were fixed to display the same positive result as those at the three MEWS thresholds (score ≥ 3, ≥4, and ≥5), and when compared with each other.Conclusions: The ANN improves upon MEWS and conventional machine learning algorithms for the prediction of cardiac arrests in emergency departments. The hybrid ANN model utilizing both baseline and sequence information achieved the best performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background. In South Korea, the prehospital treatment of cardiac arrest is generally led by an emergency medical technician-paramedic (EMT-P), and defibrillation is delivered by the automatic external defibrillator (AED). This study aimed at examining the effects of direct medical guidance by an emergency physician through a video call that enabled prompt manual defibrillation. Methods. Two-hundred eighty-eight paramedics based in Gyeonggi Province were studied for four months, from July to November 2015. The participants were divided into 96 teams, and the teams were randomly divided into either a conventional group that was to use the AED or a video call guidance group which was to use the manual defibrillators, with 48 teams in each group. The time to first defibrillation, total hands-off time, and hands-off ratio were compared between the two groups. Results. The median value of the time to the first defibrillation was significantly shorter in the video call guidance group (56 s) than in the conventional group (73 s) (p<0.001). The median value of the total hands-off time was also significantly shorter (228 vs. 285.5 s) (p<0.001), and the hands-off ratio, defined as the proportion of hands-off time out of the total CPR time, was significantly shorter in the video call guidance group (0.32 vs. 0.41) (p<0.001). Conclusion. Physician-guided CPR with a video call enabled prompt manual defibrillation and significantly shortened the time required for first defibrillation, hands-off time, and hands-off ratio in simulated cases of prehospital cardiac arrest.

Aim Of the Study: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), originally designed to block blood flow to the distal part of the aorta by placing a balloon in trauma patients, has recently been shown to increase coronary perfusion in cardiac arrest patients. This study evaluated the effect of REBOA on aortic pressure and coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) in non-traumatic out of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients.Methods: Adult OHCA patients with cerebral performance category 1 or 2 prior to cardiac arrest, and without evidence of aortic disease, were enrolled from January to December 2021. Aortic pressure and right atrial pressure were measured before and after balloon occlusion. The CPP was calculated using the measured aortic and right atrial pressures, and the values before and after the balloon occlusion were compared.Results: Fifteen non-traumatic OHCA patients were enrolled in the study. The median call to balloon time was 46.0 (IQR, 38.0-54.5) min. The median CPP before and after balloon occlusion was 13.5 (IQR, 5.8-25.0) and 25.2 (IQR, 12.0-44.6) mmHg, respectively (P = 0.001). The median increase in the estimated CPP after balloon occlusion was 86.7%.Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that REBOA may increase the CPP during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with non-traumatic OHCA. Additional studies are needed to investigate the effect on clinical outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Aims: We investigated the impact of healthy lifestyle factors and cardiovascular comorbidities for sudden cardiac arrest.Methods: A case-control study, including patients with sudden cardiac arrest aged 20-79 years and community-based 1:2 matched controls, was conducted from September 2017 to December 2020. All participants completed a structured questionnaire. Using multivariable logistic regression, we assessed cardiovascular comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, and stroke) and healthy lifestyle factors (low red meat consumption, low fish consumption, high fruit consumption, high vegetable consumption, current non-smoking, regular exercise, and adequate sleep duration) as sudden cardiac arrest risk factors.Results: Among 3027 eligible cases, informed consent was obtained from 949 (31.3%) cases. A total of 1731 controls were enrolled. Cardiovascular comorbidities, except dyslipidaemia, were associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest, whereas all healthy lifestyle factors were associated with a decreased risk. Relative to patients in the 0-2 healthy lifestyle factors group, the adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for sudden cardiac arrest was 0.25 (0.16-0.40) in patients with 3 healthy lifestyle factors, 0.08 (0.05-0.13) in patients with 4 healthy lifestyle factors, and 0.04 (0.03-0.06) in patients with over 5 healthy lifestyle factors. When the number of healthy lifestyle factors was analysed as a continuous variable, each additional factor was associated with a significant decrease in the likelihood of sudden cardiac arrest (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.41 [0.36-0.46]).Conclusion: The increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest by cardiovascular comorbidities could be significantly reduced with healthy lifestyle factors.

Aim Of the Study: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the head-up position implemented during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on cerebral blood flow (CBF) using near-infrared spectroscopy in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.Methods: Baseline characteristics (age, sex, cerebral performance category before cardiac arrest, witnessed cardiac arrest, bystander CPR, first monitored rhythm, no-flow time, prehospital low-flow time, CPR duration in the emergency department (ED), and reason for stopping CPR in the ED) were recorded. The changes of CBF were derived from the optical oscillation waveform measured by near-infrared spectroscopy in adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by alternating head-up and supine positions at 4-minute intervals while performing CPR. The CBF velocity according to the head position was also evaluated using the time derivative of the oscillation waveform.Results: During the study period, 28 patients were enrolled. The median increase in CBF in the prefrontal area in the head-up position was 14.6% (Interquartile range, 8.8-65.0), more than that in the supine position. An increase in CBF was observed in the head-up position compared with the supine position in 83.3% of the patients included in the analysis.Conclusion: CBF increased when the head-up position was used during CPR in non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.

The low survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients is a global public health challenge. We analyzed the relationship between the number of prehospital EMS personnel and survival admission, survival discharge, and good neurologic outcomes in OHCA patients. This was a retrospective observational study. Adult nontraumatic OHCA patients from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2018, were included from 12 cities in the Gyeonggi province, a metropolitan area located in the suburbs of the capital of the Republic of Korea. By comparing the insufficient EMS team (four or five EMS personnel) and the sufficient EMS team (six EMS personnel), we showed the survival rate of each group. Using propensity score matching, we reduced the bias of the confounding variables. A total of 3,632 OHCA patients were included. After propensity score matching, survival to admission was higher in the sufficient EMS team than in the insufficient EMS team (odds ratio (OR): 1.38, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04–1.84, P = 0.03). Survival-to-discharge was similar (OR: 1.70, CI: 1.20–2.40, P = 0.03), but there was no significant outcome in good neurologic outcomes (OR: 0.88, CI: 0.57–1.36, P = 0.58). Our findings suggest that a sufficient EMS team (six EMS personnel) could improve the survival admission and discharge of OHCA patients compared to an insufficient EMS team (four or five EMS personnel). However, there was no significant difference in neurologic outcomes according to the number of EMS personnel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. Heart rate (HR), an essential vital sign that reflects hemodynamic stability, is influenced by myocardial oxygen demand, coronary blood flow, and myocardial performance. HR at the time of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) could be influenced by the β1-adrenergic effect of the epinephrine administered during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and its effect could be decreased in patients who have the failing heart. We aimed to investigate the association between HR at the time of ROSC and the outcomes of adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. Methods. This study was a secondary analysis of a cardiac arrest registry from a single institution from January 2008 to July 2014. The OHCA patients who achieved ROSC at the emergency department (ED) were included, and HR was retrieved from an electrocardiogram or vital sign at the time of ROSC. The patients were categorized into four groups according to the HR (bradycardia (HR < 60), normal HR (60 ≤ HR ≤ 100), tachycardia (100 < HR < 150), and extreme tachycardia (HR ≥ 150)). The primary outcome was the rate of sustained ROSC and the secondary outcomes were the rate of one-month survival and six-month good neurologic outcome. Results. A total of 330 patients were included. In the univariate logistic regression model, the rate of sustained ROSC increased by 17% as HR increased by every 10 beats per minute (bpm) (odds ratio (OR), 1.171; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.077–1.274, p < 0.001). In the multivariate logistic regression model, extreme tachycardia was independently associated with a high probability of sustained ROSC compared to normal heart rate (OR, 15.96; 95% CI, 2.04–124.93, p = 0.008). Conclusion. Extreme tachycardia (HR ≥ 150) at the time of ROSC is independently associated with a high probability of sustained ROSC in nontraumatic adult OHCA patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of esmolol treatment for patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation (RVF) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).Methods: This single-centre retrospective pre-post study evaluated patients who were treated between January 2012 and December 2015. Some patients had received esmolol (loading dose: 500μg/kg, infusion: 0-100μg/kg/min) for RVF (≥3 defibrillation attempts), after obtaining consent from the patient's guardian.Results: Twenty-five patients did not receive esmolol (the control group), and 16 patients received esmolol. Sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was significantly more common in the esmolol group, compared to the control group (56% vs. 16%, p=0.007). Survival and good neurological outcomes at 30 days, 3 months and at 6 months were >2-fold better in the esmolol group, compared to the control group, although these increases were not statistically significant.Conclusions: The findings of our study suggest that administration of esmolol may increase the rate of sustained ROSC and ICU survival among patients with RVF in OHCA. Further larger-scale, prospective studies are necessary to determine the effect of esmolol for RVF in OHCA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Aims: To determine whether the level of plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) can predict acute kidney injury (AKI) and clinical outcomes after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of consecutive admitted patients with ROSC after OHCA between January 2013 and March 2015. Plasma was collected within 4h of ROSC to determine the level of NGAL. Outcome variables were AKI, 30-day survival, and good neurological outcome (GNO). We evaluated the association between NGAL and outcomes.Results: Fifty-four patients were included. AKI occurred in 26 (48.0%); 15 (27.7%) survived over 30 days and 8 had GNO (14.8%). NGAL was significantly lower in the group with non-AKI, 30-day survival, and GNO. To predict AKI, 30-day survival, and GNO, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for NGAL was 0.810, 0.728, and 0.875, respectively. In a logistic regression model, NGAL >189 ngml(-1) was strongly associated with AKI (odds ratio [OR] 7.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.89-26.01) in a multivariate model. A lower level of NGAL was strongly associated with 30-day survival (OR 6.12, 95% CI: 1.64-23.42 at NGAL <153.5 ngml(-1)) and GNO (OR 19.83, 95% CI: 2.21-178.32 at NGAL <129.5 ngml(-1)) in a univariate model, but was not significantly associated with outcomes in a multivariate model.Conclusions: Plasma NGAL is a strong predictor of AKI in patients exhibiting OHCA at ICU admission. Lower levels of NGAL are associated with greater chance of 30-day survival and GNO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
