Background

In out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), the prognostic influence of conversion to shockable rhythms during resuscitation for initially non-shockable rhythms remains unknown. This study aimed to assess the relationship between initial and subsequent shockable rhythm and post-arrest survival and neurological outcomes after OHCA.

Methodology

This was a retrospective analysis of all OHCA cases collected from the Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS) registry in 7 countries in Asia between 2009 and 2012. We included OHCA cases of presumed cardiac etiology, aged 18-years and above and resuscitation attempted by EMS. We performed multivariate logistic regression analyses to assess the relationship between initial and subsequent shockable rhythm and survival and neurological outcomes. 2-stage seemingly unrelated bivariate probit models were developed to jointly model the survival and neurological outcomes. We adjusted for the clustering effects of country variance in all models.

Results

40,160 OHCA cases met the inclusion criteria. There were 5356 OHCA cases (13.3%) with initial shockable rhythm and 33,974 (84.7%) with initial non-shockable rhythm. After adjustment of baseline and prehospital characteristics, OHCA with initial shockable rhythm (odds ratio/OR = 6.10, 95% confidence interval/CI = 5.06–7.34) and subsequent conversion to shockable rhythm (OR = 2.00,95%CI = 1.10–3.65) independently predicted better survival-to-hospital-discharge outcomes. Subsequent shockable rhythm conversion significantly improved survival-to-admission, discharge and post-arrest overall and cerebral performance outcomes in the multivariate logistic regression and 2-stage analyses.

Conclusion

Initial shockable rhythm was the strongest predictor for survival. However, conversion to subsequent shockable rhythm significantly improved post-arrest survival and neurological outcomes. This study suggests the importance of early resuscitation efforts even for initially non-shockable rhythms which has prognostic implications and selection of subsequent post-resuscitation therapy.  相似文献

Introduction

Few clinical trials have provided evidence that epinephrine administration after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) improves long-term survival. Here we determined whether prehospital epinephrine administration would improve 1-month survival in OHCA patients.

Methods

We analyzed the data of 209,577 OHCA patients; the data were prospectively collected in a nationwide Utstein-style Japanese database between 2009 and 2010. Patients were divided into the initial shockable rhythm (n = 15,492) and initial non-shockable rhythm (n = 194,085) cohorts. The endpoints were prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), 1-month survival, and 1-month favorable neurological outcomes (cerebral performance category scale, category 1 or 2) after OHCA. We defined epinephrine administration time as the time from the start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by emergency medical services personnel to the first epinephrine administration.

Results

In the initial shockable rhythm cohort, the ratios of prehospital ROSC, 1-month survival, and 1-month favorable neurological outcomes in the non-epinephrine group were significantly higher than those in the epinephrine group (27.7% vs. 22.8%, 27.0% vs. 15.4%, and 18.6% vs. 7.0%, respectively; all P < 0.001). However, in the initial non-shockable rhythm cohort, the ratios of prehospital ROSC and 1-month survival in the epinephrine group were significantly higher than those in the non-epinephrine group (18.7% vs. 3.0% and 3.9% vs. 2.2%, respectively; all P < 0.001) and there was no significant difference between the epinephrine and non-epinephrine groups for 1-month favorable neurological outcomes (P = 0.62). Prehospital epinephrine administration for OHCA patients with initial non-shockable rhythms was independently associated with prehospital ROSC (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 8.83, 6.18, 4.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 8.01-9.73, 5.82-6.56, 3.98-4.69; for epinephrine administration times ≤9 min, 10-19 min, and ≥20 min, respectively), with improved 1-month survival when epinephrine administration time was <20 min (aOR, 1.78, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.50-2.10, 1.17-1.43; for epinephrine administration times ≤9 min and 10-19 min, respectively), and with deteriorated 1-month favorable neurological outcomes (aOR, 0.63, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.48-0.80, 0.32-0.71; for epinephrine administration times 10-19 min and ≥20 min, respectively).

Conclusions

Prehospital epinephrine administration for OHCA patients with initial nonshockable rhythms was independently associated with achievement of prehospital ROSC and had association with improved 1-month survival when epinephrine administration time was <20 min.  相似文献

Background

Epinephrine is recommended for the treatment of non-shockable out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to obtain return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Epinephrine efficiency and safety remain under debate.

Objective

We propose to describe the association between the cumulative dose of epinephrine and the failure of ROSC during the first 30?min of advanced life support (ALS).

Methodology

A retrospective observational cohort study using the Paris SAMU 75 registry including all non-traumatic OHCA. All OHCA receiving epinephrine during the first 30?min of ALS were enrolled. Cumulative epinephrine dose given during ALS to ROSC was retrieved from medical reports.

Results

Among 1532 patients with OHCA, 776 (51%) had initial non-shockable rhythm. Fifty-four patients were excluded for missing data.The mean value of cumulative dose of epinephrine was 10?±?4?mg in patients who failed to achieve ROSC (ROSC?) and 4?±?3?mg (p?=?0.04) for those who achieved ROSC.ROC curve analysis indicated a cut-off point of 7?mg total cumulative epinephrine associated with ROSC? (AUC?=?0.89 [0.86–0.92]).Using propensity score analysis including age, sex and no-flow duration, association with ROSC? only remained significant for epinephrine?>?7?mg (p?≤10–3, OR [CI95]?=?1.53 [1.42–1.65]).

Conclusion

An association between total cumulative epinephrine dose administered during OHCA resuscitation and ROSC? was reported with a threshold of 7?mg, best identifying patients with refractory OHCA. We suggest using this threshold in this context to guide the termination of ALS and early decide on the implementation of extracorporeal life support or organ harvesting in the first 30?min of ALS.  相似文献

Introduction

Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a time critical and heterogeneous presentation. The most appropriate management strategies remain an issue for debate. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the association of epinephrine versus placebo with return of spontaneous circulation, survival to hospital admission, survival to hospital discharge and neurological outcomes in out of hospital cardiac arrest.

Methods

A systematic review of five databases was performed from inception to August 2018. Only randomised controlled trials were considered eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes were ROSC, survival to hospital admission, neurological function on discharge and three-month survival. All studies were assessed for level of evidence and risk of bias.

Results

Five randomised controlled trials with 17,635 patients were identified for inclusion. Use of epinephrine was associated with increased ROSC (OR?=?3.10; 95% CI?=?2.16 to 4.45; I2?=?74%; p?<?0.0001) and increased survival to hospital admission OR?=?2.52; 95% CI?=?1.63 to 3.88; I2?=?94%; p?<?0.0001). However, epinephrine was not associated with increased survival to discharge (OR?=?1.09; 95% CI?=?0.48 to 2.47; I2?=?77%; p?=?0.84) or differences in neurological outcomes (OR?=?0.81; 95% CI?=?0.34 to 1.96).

Discussion

This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of epinephrine versus placebo in OHCA. The use of epinephrine was associated with improved ROSC and survival to hospital admission. However, use of epinephrine was not associated with a significant difference in survival to hospital discharge, neurological outcomes or survival to 3?months. Further research is required to control for the confounders during inpatient management.  相似文献

Objectives

The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effects of team cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods

A systematic literature review was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane database to identify relevant articles for this meta-analysis. All studies that described the implementation of team CPR performed by emergency medical services for OHCA patients with presumed cardiac etiology were included in this study. Outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to hospital discharge, and good neurological recovery.

Results

A total of 2504 studies were reviewed. After excluding studies according to exclusion criteria, 4 studies with 15,455 OHCA patients were included in this study. The odds of survival and neurologic recovery for patients who received team CPR were higher than those for patients who did not (survival odds ratio [OR]: 1.68; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.48–1.91; neurologic recovery OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.31–1.77). There was no significant difference in the odds of ROSC between the two patient groups (OR: 1.59; 95% CI: 0.76–3.33).

Conclusions

In this meta-analysis, team CPR improved the outcomes of OHCA patients, consistently increasing their odds of survival to discharge and neurologic recovery.  相似文献

Purpose

The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score in predicting in-hospital mortality and neurological outcome of patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients admitted to our hospital between October 2009 and October 2015 with OHCA and shockable initial cardiac rhythm who were resuscitated via conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We calculated the GRACE risk score on admission and assessed its usefulness in predicting in-hospital mortality and neurological outcome.

Results

Among 91 patients, 42 (46%) had acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 19 (21%) died in-hospital, and 52 (57%) had favorable neurological outcome. Among all the study patients, GRACE risk score was lower in survivors than in non-survivors (median 211 [interquartile range 176–240] vs. 266 [219–301], p < 0.001, respectively) and in favorable than in unfavorable neurological outcome group (202 [167–237] vs. 242 [219–275], p < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed significant association between GRACE risk score and favorable neurological outcome (odds ratio, 0.975; 95% confidence interval, 0.961–0.990). Areas under receiver-operating characteristic curves, that describe the accuracy of GRACE risk score in predicting in-hospital mortality and favorable neurological outcome, were both 0.79.

Conclusion

GRACE risk score may predict the in-hospital mortality and neurological outcome associated with resuscitated patients with OHCA and shockable initial cardiac rhythm, regardless of the cause of arrest.  相似文献

Introduction

The relationship between time of day and the clinical outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains inconclusive. We undertook a meta-analysis to assess the available evidence on the relationship between nighttime and prognosis for patients with OHCA.

Materials and methods

PubMed and EMBASE were searched through June 20, 2018, to identify all studies assessing the relationship between nighttime and prognosis for patients with OHCA. Random effects modes were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Eight observational studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of 8 studies showed that compared with nighttime, the daytime OHCA patients had higher 1-month/in-hospital survival (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.15–1.37; P?=?0.00), with high heterogeneity among the studies (I2?=?82.8%, P?=?0.00).

Conclusions

Patients who experienced OHCA during the nighttime had lower 1-month/in-hospital survival than those with daytime OHCA. In addition to arrest event and pre-hospital care factors, patients' comorbidity and hospital-based care may also be responsible for lower survival at night.  相似文献

Introduction

Guidelines endorse intravenous (IV) and intraosseous (IO) medication administration for cardiac arrest treatment. Limited clinical evidence supports this recommendation. A multiagency, retrospective study was performed to determine the association between parenteral access type and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in out of hospital cardiac arrest.

Methods

This was a structured, retrospective chart review of emergency medical services (EMS) records from three agencies. Data was analyzed from adults who suffered OHCA and received epinephrine through EMS established IV or IO access during the 18-month study period. Per regional EMS protocols, choice of parenteral access type was at the provider's discretion. Non-inferiority analysis was performed comparing the association between first access type attempted and ROSC at time of emergency department arrival.

Results

1310 subjects met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Providers first attempted parenteral access via IV route in 788 (60.15%) subjects. Providers first attempted parenteral access via IO route in 552 (39.85%) subjects. Rates of ROSC at time of ED arrival were 19.67% when IV access was attempted first and 19.92% when IO access was attempted first. An IO first approach was non-inferior to an IV first approach based on the primary end point ROSC at time of emergency department arrival (p = 0.01).

Conclusion

An IO first approach was non-inferior to an IV first approach based on the end point ROSC at time of emergency department arrival.  相似文献

Background

Non-shockable arrest rhythms (pulseless electrical activity and asystole) represent an increasing proportion of reported cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The prognostic significance of conversion from non-shockable to shockable rhythms during the course of resuscitation remains unclear.

Objective

To evaluate whether out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival with initially non-shockable arrest rhythms is improved with subsequent conversion to shockable rhythms.

Methods

Secondary analysis of data in Epistry – Cardiac Arrest, an epidemiologic registry maintained by the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC). This analysis includes OHCA events from December 1, 2005 through May 31, 2007 contributed by six US and two Canadian sites. For all EMS-treated adult (18 and older) cardiac arrest patients who presented with non-shockable cardiac arrest, we compared survival to hospital discharge between patients who did develop a shockable rhythm and those who did not based on receipt of subsequent defibrillation. Missing data were handled using multiple imputation. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for potentially confounding variables.

Results

A total of 6556 EMS treated adult cardiac arrest cases presented in non-shockable rhythms. Survival to discharge in patients who converted to a shockable rhythm was 2.77% while survival in those who did not was 2.72% (p = 0.92). After adjusting for confounders, conversion to a shockable rhythm was not associated with improved survival (OR 0.88, 95% CI: 0.60–1.30).

Conclusion

For OHCA patients presenting in PEA/asystole, survival to hospital discharge was not associated with conversion to a shockable rhythm during EMS resuscitation efforts.  相似文献

Background

The effects and relative benefits of advanced airway management and epinephrine on patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who were defibrillated are not well understood.

Methods

This was a prospective observational study. Using data of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases occurring between 2005 and 2013 in Japan, hierarchical logistic regression and conditional logistic regression along with time-dependent propensity matching were performed. Outcome measures were survival and minimal neurological impairment [cerebral performance category (CPC) 1 or 2] at 1 month after the event.

Results

We analyzed 37,873 cases that met the inclusion criteria. Among propensity-matched patients, advanced airway management and/or prehospital epinephrine use was related to decreased rates of 1-month survival (adjusted odds ratio 0.88, 95% confidence interval 0.80 to 0.97) and CPC (1, 2) (adjusted odds ratio 0.56, 95% confidence interval 0.48 to 0.66). Advanced airway management was related to decreased rates of 1-month survival (adjusted odds ratio 0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.81to 0.98) and CPC (1, 2) (adjusted odds ratio 0.54, 95% confidence interval 0.46 to 0.64) in patients who did not receive epinephrine, whereas epinephrine use was not related to the outcome measures.

Conclusions

In defibrillated patients with OHCA, advanced airway management and/or epinephrine are related to reduced long-term survival, and advanced airway management is less beneficial than epinephrine. However, the proportion of patients with OHCA who responded to an initial shock was very low in the study subjects, and the external validity of our findings might be limited.  相似文献

Background

It is unclear whether the number of paramedics in an ambulance improves the outcome of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) or not.

Methods and Results

This study was a prospective, observational study conducted on patients with OHCA. Patients were divided into the One-paramedic group (Group O) and the Two-or-more-paramedic group (Group T) and we analyzed the differences. Patients who were treated with only basic life support during transportation, and whose cause of cardiac arrest were extrinsic cause such as trauma and poisoning were excluded. Good neurological outcome was defined as cerebral performance category (CPC) 1 or 2.In Group O, there were 1516 patients (male/female, 922/594). In Group T, there were 2932 patients (male/female, 1798/1134). Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was obtained in 528 patients (34.8%) in Group O and 1058 patients (36.1%) in Group T (p = 0.589). 320 patients (21.1%) in Group O and 656 patients (22.4%) in Group T were admitted to hospital after ROSC (p = 0.461). At 90 days, there were 57 survivors (3.8%) in Group O and 114 survivors (3.9%) in Group T (p = 0.873). At 90 days, 14 patients (0.9%) in Group T had a CPC of 1 or 2, while 30 patients (1.0%) in Group T did so (p = 0.87). From the results of logistic regression analysis, age [odds ratio (OR): 0.983, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.952–0.993], witnessed OHCA (OR: 4.583, 95% CI: 1.587–13.234), and shockable rhythm as first documented (OR: 19.67, 95% CI: 9.181–42.13) were associated with good outcome.

Conclusion

The number of paramedics in an ambulance did not affect the outcome in OHCA patients.  相似文献

Objectives

To assess the difference in survival and neurological outcomes between endotracheal tube (ETT) intubation and supraglottic airway (SGA) devices used during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods

A systematic search of five databases was performed by two independent reviewers until September 2018. Included studies reported on (1) OHCA or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and (2) endotracheal intubation versus supraglottic airway device intubation. Exclusion criteria (1) stimulation studies, (2) selectively included/excluded patients, (3) in-hospital cardiac arrest. Odds Ratios (OR) with random effect modelling was used. Primary outcomes: (1) return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), (2) survival to hospital admission, (3) survival to hospital discharge, (4) discharge with a neurologically intact state.

Results

Twenty-nine studies (n?=?539,146) showed that overall, ETT use resulted in a heterogeneous, but significant increase in ROSC (OR?=?1.44; 95%CI?=?1.27 to 1.63; I2?=?91%; p?<?0.00001) and survival to admission (OR?=?1.36; 95%CI?=?1.12 to 1.66; I2?=?91%; p?=?0.002). There was no significant difference in survival to discharge or neurological outcome (p?>?0.0125). On sensitivity analysis of RCTs, there was no significant difference in ROSC, survival to admission, survival to discharge or neurological outcome (p?>?0.0125). On analysis of automated chest compression, without heterogeneity, ETT provided a significant increase in ROSC (OR?=?1.55; 95%CI?=?1.20 to 2.00; I2?=?0%; p?=?0.0009) and survival to admission (OR?=?2.16; 95%CI?=?1.54 to 3.02; I2?=?0%; p?<?0.00001).

Conclusions

The overall heterogeneous benefit in survival with ETT was not replicated in the low risk RCTs, with no significant difference in survival or neurological outcome. In the presence of automated chest compressions, ETT intubation may result in survival benefits.  相似文献

Aim

We investigated whether DA-CPR would have the same effect as spontaneously-delivered bystander CPR.

Methods

A total of 37,899 witnessed cardiogenic out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) selected from a nationwide Utstein-Japanese database between 2008 and 2012. Patients were divided into four groups as follows: CPR initiated with dispatcher assistance (DA-CPR; n = 10,424), no CPR provided with dispatcher assistance (DA-No CPR; n = 4658), spontaneously-delivered bystander CPR provided without DA (BCPR; n = 6630), and both BCPR and dispatcher assistance was not provided (No BCPR-No DA; n = 16,187). The primary endpoint was rate of shockable rhythm on the initial ECG, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) on the field. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) are presented as 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) among the groups.

Results

The rate of DA-CPR implementation has gradually increased since 2005. In comparison with DA-No CPR, both spontaneously-delivered BCPR and DA-CPR were significantly associated with the following factors: increased rate of shockable rhythm on the initial ECG (AOR, 1.75 and 1.72; 95% CI, 1.67 to 1.85 and 1.63 to 1.83),improved field ROSC (AOR, 1.42 and 1.40; 95% CI, 1.33 to 1.52 and 1.30 to 1.51) and 1-month favorable neurological outcomes (AOR, 1.72 and 1.80; 95% CI, 1.59 to 1.88 and 1.64 to 1.97), respectively.

Conclusions

We found that the spontaneously delivered BCPR group showed favorable results. In comparison to the DA-No BCPR group, DA-CPR group resulted in the nearly equivalent effect as spontaneously-delivered BCPR group. Further standard dispatcher education is indicated.  相似文献

Background

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation with ECMO support (ECPR) has shown to improve outcome in patients after cardiac arrest under resuscitation. Most current recommendations for ECPR do not include patients with a non-shockable rhythm such as PEA and asystole.

Aim

The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of 3 patient groups separated by initial rhythm at time of ECMO placement during CPR: asystole, PEA and shockable rhythm.

Methods

We made a retrospective single-center study of adults who underwent ECPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest between June 2008 and January 2017. Outcome and survival were identified in 3 groups of patients regarding to the heart rhythm at the time decision for ECMO support was made: 1. patients with asystole, 2. patients with pulseless electrical activity, 3. patients with a shockable rhythm.

Result

63 patients underwent ECPR in the mentioned time frame. Five patients were excluded due to incomplete data. Under the 58 included patients the number of cases for asystole, PEA, shockable rhythm was 7, 21 and 30 respectively. The means of CPR-time in these groups were 37, 41 and 37 min. Survival to discharge was 0.0%, 23.8% and 40.0% respectively (p = 0.09). All survivors to discharge had a good neurological outcome, defined as cerebral performance category 1or 2.

Conclusion

Survival to discharge in patients with PEA as initial rhythm at the time of decision for ECPR is 23.8% while no patients with asystole as initial rhythm survived discharge. Patients with PEA should be carefully considered for ECPR.  相似文献

Introduction

At hospital arrival, early prognostication for children after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) might help clinicians formulate strategies, particularly in the emergency department. In this study, we aimed to develop a simple and generally applicable bedside tool for predicting outcomes in children after cardiac arrest.

Methods

We analyzed data of 5,379 children who had undergone OHCA. The data were extracted from a prospectively recorded, nationwide, Utstein-style Japanese database. The primary endpoint was survival with favorable neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale categories 1 and 2) at 1 month after OHCA. We developed a decision tree prediction model by using data from a 2-year period (2008 to 2009, n = 3,693), and the data were validated using external data from 2010 (n = 1,686).

Results

Recursive partitioning analysis for 11 predictors in the development cohort indicated that the best single predictor for CPC 1 and 2 at 1 month was the prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The next predictor for children with prehospital ROSC was an initial shockable rhythm. For children without prehospital ROSC, the next best predictor was a witnessed arrest. Use of a simple decision tree prediction model permitted stratification into four outcome prediction groups: good (prehospital ROSC and initial shockable rhythm), moderately good (prehospital ROSC and initial nonshockable rhythm), poor (prehospital non-ROSC and witnessed arrest) and very poor (prehospital non-ROSC and unwitnessed arrest). By using this model, we identified patient groups ranging from 0.2% to 66.2% for 1-month CPC 1 and 2 probabilities. The validated decision tree prediction model demonstrated a sensitivity of 69.7% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 58.7% to 78.9%), a specificity of 95.2% (95% CI = 94.1% to 96.2%) and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.88 (95% CI = 0.87 to 0.90) for predicting 1-month CPC 1 and 2.

Conclusions

With our decision tree prediction model using three prehospital variables (prehospital ROSC, initial shockable rhythm and witnessed arrest), children can be readily stratified into four groups after OHCA. This simple prediction model for evaluating children after OHCA may provide clinicians with a practical bedside tool for counseling families and making management decisions soon after patient arrival at the hospital.  相似文献

Background

Most out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) studies have been conducted in developed countries or metropolitan areas, and few in developing countries or rural areas.

Objectives

The aims of this study were to determine the weak links in the chain of survival and to estimate the outcomes of OHCA patients in Taoyuan, a nonmetropolitan area in Taiwan.

Methods

A retrospective review and analysis of OHCA data was conducted. The three outcomes were whether a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved, whether the patient survived to admission, or whether the patient survived to hospital discharge.

Results

From April to December 2008, 1048 OHCA patients were resuscitated, and 712 (67.9%) adult cardiac patients were used in this study. Among these 712 patients, 17.8% achieved ROSC (95% confidence interval [CI] 15.2–20.8%), 16.3% survived to admission (95% CI 13.6–19.0%), and 1.4% survived to discharge (95% CI 0.5–2.3%). Factors significantly associated with the three outcomes were witness status, response time to emergency medical services, and whether the patient had a shockable rhythm. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) did not add a notable benefit to the outcomes of OHCA.

Conclusions

The survival rate of OHCA patients in nonmetropolitan Taiwan was very low (1.4%). Lower witnessed rate, lower bystander CPR rate, and longer response interval in remote areas are the main causes of inferior survival rate.  相似文献

Purpose

To investigate differences in chronological variations in characteristics and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) between elderly and non-elderly patients.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed bystander-witnessed OHCAs without prehospital involvement of physicians between January 2007 and December 2014 in Japan. We considered the following time periods: night-time (23:00–5:59) and non-night-time; we further divided non-night-time into dinnertime (18:00–20:29) and other non-night-time. Subsequently, we analyzed chronological variations in factors associated with OHCA survival using univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses for unmatched and propensity-matched pairs, respectively.

Results

For elderly (≥65?years old, N?=?201,073) and non-elderly (≥10, <65?years old, N?=?57,124) OHCA patients, survival rates were lower during night-time than during non-night-time (elderly, 2.8% vs 1.6%; non-elderly, 9.8% vs 7.7%). The trend for incidences of bystander-witnessed OHCA in the elderly showed three peaks associated with breakfast-time, lunchtime, and dinnertime. However, a transient but considerable decrease in survival rates was observed at dinnertime (1.9% at dinnertime and 3.0% during other non-night-time). OHCAs in the elderly at dinnertime were characterized by low proportions of presumed cardiac etiologies and shockable initial rhythm. However,even after adjusting for these and other factors associated with survival,survival rates were significantly lower at dinnertime than during other non-night-time for elderly OHCA patients (adjusted odds ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.18–1.41, with dinnertime as reference). This difference was significant even after propensity matching with significant augmentation in winter.

Conclusions

Dinnertime, particularly in winter, is associated with lower survival in elderly OHCA patients.  相似文献

Background

While internationally reported survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is improving, much of the increase is being observed in patients presenting to emergency medical services (EMS) in shockable rhythms. The purpose of this study was to assess survival and 12-month functional recovery in patients presenting to EMS in asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA).

Methods

The Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry was searched for adult OHCA patients presenting in non-shockable rhythms in Victoria, Australia between 1st July 2003 and 30th June 2013. We excluded patients defibrillated prior to EMS arrival and arrests witnessed by EMS. Twelve-month quality-of-life interviews were conducted on survivors who arrested between 1st January 2010 and 31st December 2012. The main outcome measures were survival to hospital discharge and 12-month functional recovery measured by the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE).

Results

A total of 38,378 non-shockable OHCA attended by EMS were included, of which 88.0% were asystole and 11.6% were PEA. Of the patients receiving resuscitation, survival to hospital discharge was 1.1% for asystole and 5.9% for PEA (p < 0.001), with no significant improvement observed over the 10 year study period. In survivors with 12-month follow-up data, the combined rate of death, vegetative state or lower severe disability was 66.7% (95% CI 41.0–80.0%) for asystole and 44.7% (95% CI 30.2–59.9%) for PEA.

Conclusion

Survival outcomes following OHCA with initial rhythms of asystole or PEA did not improve over the 10-year study period. Our findings indicate high rates of death within 12 months, and unfavourable functional recovery for survivors.  相似文献

Background

Currently many emergency medical services (EMS) that provide advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) at scene do not routinely transport out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients without sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). This is due to logistical difficulties and historical poor outcomes. However, new technology for mechanical chest compression has made transport to hospital safer and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) enabling further intervention, may result in ROSC. We aimed to explore the characteristics and outcomes of patients with OHCA who were transported to hospital with ongoing CPR in the absence of ROSC, who might benefit from this new technology.

Methods and results

The Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry (VACAR) was searched for adult OHCA with an initial shockable rhythm between 2003 and 2012. There were 5593 OHCA meeting inclusion criteria. Analysis was performed on 3095 (55%) of patients who did not achieve sustained ROSC in the field. Of these only 589 (20%) had ongoing CPR to hospital. There was a significant decline in rates of transport over the study period. Predictors of transport with ongoing CPR included younger patients, decreased time to first shock and intermittent ROSC prior to transport. Survival to hospital discharge occurred in 52 (9%) of patients who had ongoing CPR to hospital.

Conclusion

In an EMS that provides ACLS at scene, patients without ROSC in the field who receive CPR to hospital have poor outcomes. Developing a system which provides safe transport with ongoing CPR to a hospital that provides ECPR, should be considered.  相似文献
