Umbral crítico de administración en pacientes con trauma severo y reanimación endovascular: ¿Un concepto útil? / Critical Administration Threshold in severe trauma patients and endovascular resuscitation: A useful concept?

Introducción. Se describe la utilidad del umbral crítico de administración (CAT por su denominación en inglés) como herramienta para la reanimación hemostática en pacientes con trauma severo y oclusión endovascular aórtica. Métodos. Revisión retrospectiva de pacientes adultos con hemorragia por trauma, con o sin oclusión endovascular aórtica (REBOA), atendidos entre enero de 2015 y junio de 2020, en un centro de trauma nivel I en Cali, Colombia. Se registraron variables demográficas, severidad del trauma, estado clínico, requerimiento transfusional, tiempo hasta CAT+ y CAT alcanzado (1, 2 ó 3). Resultados. Se incluyeron 93 pacientes, se utilizó REBOA en 36 y manejo tradicional en 57. El grupo REBOA presentó mayor volumen de sangrado (mediana de 3000 ml, RIC: 1950-3625 ml) frente al grupo control (mediana de1500 ml, RIC: 700-2975ml) (p<0,001) y mayor cantidad de glóbulos rojos transfundidos en las primeras 6 horas (mediana de 5, RIC:4-9); p=0,015 y en las primeras 24 horas (mediana de 6, RIC: 4-11); p=0,005. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en número de pacientes CAT+ entre grupos o tiempo hasta alcanzarlo. Sin embargo, el estado CAT+ durante los primeros 30 minutos de la cirugía fue mayor en grupo REBOA (24/36, 66,7 %) frente al grupo control (17/57, 29,8 %; p=0,001), teniendo este mayor tasa de mortalidad intrahospitalaria frente a los pacientes CAT-. Conclusión. El umbral crítico de administración es una herramienta útil en la reanimación hemostática de pacientes con trauma y REBOA, que podría predecir mortalidad precoz.

Introduction. The objective is to describe the utility of the Critical Administration Threshold (CAT) as a tool in hemostatic resuscitation in patients with severe trauma and REBOA. Methods. Retrospective review between January 2015 and June 2020 of adult patients with hemorrhage secondary to trauma with or without REBOA in a level I trauma center in Cali, Colombia. Demographic variables, trauma severity, clinical status, transfusion needs, time to CAT+ and number of CAT achieved (1, 2 or 3) were recorded. Results. Ninety-three patients were included, in which REBOA was used in 36 and traditional management in 57. The REBOA group had a higher bleeding volume (3000 ml), IQR: 1950-3625 ml vs the control group (1500 ml, IQR: 700-2975 ml) (p<0.001) and a higher rate of PRBC units transfused in the first 6 hours (median 5, IQR: 4-9); p=0.015 and in the first 24 hours (median 6, IQR: 4-11); p=0.005. There were no statistically significant differences in the number of CAT+ patients between groups or time to CAT+. However, CAT+ status during the first 30 minutes of surgery was higher in the REBOA Group (24/36, 66.7%) vs. the control group (17/57, 29.8%; p=0.001), having this group a higher in-hospital mortality rate vs. CAT- patients. Conclusion. CAT is a useful tool in the hemostatic resuscitation of patients with trauma and REBOA that could predict early mortality.

Advances in Shock Management and Fluid Resuscitation in Children

Shock in children is associated with signifcant mortality and morbidity, particularly in resource-limited settings. The principles of management include early recognition, fuid resuscitation, appropriate inotropes, antibiotic therapy in sepsis, supportive therapy for organ dysfunction, and regular hemodynamic monitoring. During the past decade, each step has undergone several changes and evolved as evidence that has been translated into recommendations and practice. There is a paradigm shift from protocolized-based care to personalized management, from liberal strategies to restrictive strategies in terms of fuids, blood transfusion, ventilation, and antibiotics, and from clinical monitoring to multimodal monitoring using bedside technologies. However, uncertainties are still prevailing in terms of the volume of fuids, use of steroids, and use of extracorporeal and newer therapies while managing shock. These changes have been summarized along with evidence in this article with the aim of adopting an evidence-based approach while managing children with shock.

La desfibrilación estuvo indicada en 42 pacientes donde el 15,1 % de estos recibió la primera desfibrilación en menos de 5 minutos. La causa de la suspensión de la reanimación en 95 de los pacientes estudiados fue el fallecimiento. Conclusiones: la atención médica ante el paro cardiorrespiratorio debe seguir perfeccionándose, a través de la superación del personal sanitario y el desarrollo de acciones organizativas hacia el proceso de reanimación cardiopulmocerebral intrahospitalaria.

Background: cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation is the set of maneuvers to ensure oxygenation of organs when blood circulation stops. In-hospital cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation is a life-saving intervention. Objective: to characterize medical care during cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation in patients with cardiac arrest at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University General Hospital in Cienfuegos. Method: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in the five intensive care units of the Emergency Department, from January to June 2020. 152 patients who suffered cardiorespiratory arrest were studied. The variables related to the patient, the symptoms and signs presented by the patients prior to the PCR, as well as vital signs, were studied. Results: the average age was 62.66 years, in 54.6% the male sex predominated. Arterial hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity with 60.5%. 32.9% had a length of stay prior to the event of more than 72 hours. In order of frequency, the most prevalent signs or symptoms prior to the PCR event were: bradycardia (32.2%); weak pulses (15.1%); unconsciousness (12.5%) and cyanosis with 10.5%. The service with the highest occurrence was the Clinical Intensive Care Unit. Asystole was the most common initial electrical rhythm (57.9%). In 100% of the cases, advanced airway management was performed with an endotracheal tube. Defibrillation was indicated in 42 patients where 15.1% of these received the first defibrillation in less than 5 minutes. The cause of suspension of resuscitation in 95 of the patients studied was death. Conclusions: medical care in the face of cardiorespiratory arrest must continue to be improved, through the improvement of health personnel and the development of organizational actions towards the process of intrahospital cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation.

Evaluation of neonatal resuscitation simulation exercise for perinatal medical personnel / 中国新生儿科杂志

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of neonatal resuscitation simulation exercise for perinatal medical personnel.Methods:From August 2020 to July 2021, perinatal medical personnel receiving simulated training of neonatal resuscitation in our hospital were prospectively enrolled. The professional backgrounds of the trainees were collected and their performances on both knowledge skills and behavioral skills were scored. The knowledge skills included pre-resuscitation preparation, initial resuscitation, positive pressure ventilation, tracheal intubation, chest compression and umbilical vein catheterization. The behavioral skills included situational awareness, problem solving, resource utilization, communication and leadership. SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis.Results:Among the 200 participants, 127(63.5%) were neonatal/pediatric doctors and nurses, 65(32.5%) were obstetricians and midwives, 8(4.0%) were anesthesiologists and the ratio of doctors to nurses was 1.74∶1. The score of knowledge skills was (19.52±2.92) at the beginning of the simulation exercise and (27.02±2.72) at the end. The scores on preparation before resuscitation, initial resuscitation and positive pressure ventilation were significantly improved ( P<0.05). The score of behavioral skills was (16.60±2.34) at the beginning and (20.58±1.77) at the end. The scores of resource utilization, communication and leadership were significantly improved ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The simulation exercise provides multidisciplinary teamwork training for perinatal medical personnel, may significantly improve neonatal resuscitation skills and is worth promoting.

Application of PDCA cycle in quality improvement of neonatal resuscitation / 中国新生儿科杂志

Objective:To study the effects of plan-do-check-action (PDCA) cycle in quality improvement of neonatal resuscitation.Methods:From 2016 to 2020, the clinical data of neonates born in our hospital were analyzed. Neonates born during 2016 to 2017 were pre-PDCA group and neonates born during 2018 to 2020 were post-PDCA group. PDCA quality improvement included step-by-step, high-frequency and low-dose training, strengthening teamwork and adding equipment.Results:A total of 7 728 live-birth neonates were delivered before PDCA with 319 cases (4.1%) of asphyxia. 10 174 live-birth neonates were delivered after PDCA with 422 cases (4.1%) of asphyxia. The asphyxia rates showed no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidences of severe asphyxia before and after PDCA were both 0.8% without significant difference ( P>0.05). The success rates of resuscitation for severe asphyxia before and after PDCA was 27.9% and 44.9%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The mortality rates within 7 d before and after PDCA were 0.5‰ and 0.1‰ respectively, without significant differences ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of PDCA cycle and step-by-step, high-frequency, low-dose neonatal resuscitation training can effectively improve the success rate of resuscitation in newborns with severe asphyxia.

Clinical value of neonatal transport team participating in the management of twin neonates before transport / 中国小儿急救医学

Objective:To investigate and analyze the necessity and clinical significance of professional neonatal transport team participating in post-natal resuscitation, management and transport of twin neonates after birth.Methods:A total of 298 cases of twin neonates admitted to the Department of Neonatology at the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were selected.According to whether the neonatal transport team participated in birth resuscitation and management, they were divided into participation group ( n=136) and case group ( n=162). The resuscitation measures taken after birth, Apgar score, respiratory support during transport, basic information at admission, the first arterial blood gas after admission, complications during hospitalization, length of stay and outcome of the two groups of twins were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Compared with twins in case group, the proportion of tracheal intubation before transport was significantly higher in participation group(5.88% vs.0.62%, χ2=6.997, P=0.013), hospital admissions were significantly shorter[48(7, 115) min vs.87(47, 425) min, Z=-11.593, P<0.001], and significantly lower rates of hypoxia on admission(9.56% vs.17.90%, χ2=4.250, P=0.039), significantly higher percutaneous oxygen saturation[96(86, 100)% vs.95(85, 100)%, Z=-7.274, P<0.001], and higher blood-gas-oxygen partial pressure on admission[(91.02±25.77)mmHg vs.(87.82±25.23)mmHg, t=1.076, P=0.008] were found.The incidence of hypothermia on admission was significantly lower(36.03% vs.47.53%, χ2=4.008, P=0.045), and the differences between two groups were statistically significant( P<0.05). The proportion of critically ill neonates(40.44% vs.24.07%, χ2=9.172, P=0.002), length of hospital-stay[11(4, 76)d vs.9(3, 72) d, Z=-2.684, P=0.014] as well as the intravenous nutrition time[7(0, 42)d vs.5(0, 40) d, Z=-2.470, P=0.014] in participaton group were significantly higher than those in case group, and there were statistically significant differences between two groups( P<0.05). Conclusion:Professional neonatal transport teams play a positive role in neonatal resuscitation and later hospitalization during the pre-transport management of twin neonates.It can improve success rate of tracheal intubation in asphyxia resuscitation of twin neonates.Neonatal transport to the NICU for management takes less time, reducing the incidence of hypoxemia during transport, hypoxia status and hypothermia after admission.Obstetric pediatric medical staff in midwifery hospitals should strengthen the professional training of neonatal asphyxiation resuscitation, improve the skill of neonatal asphyxiation resuscitation and tracheal intubation, and strengthen the post-birth care for twin neonates.

Retrospective comprehensive analysis of modified Aldrete Scale and Steward Scale for evaluating resuscitation effect on children undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy with anesthesia / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of the Steward Scale(S Scale)and the Modified Aldrete Scale (A Scale) for resuscitation of children undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy with general anesthesia.Methods:A total of 199 underage children who underwent non-intubated gastrointestinal endoscopy with general anesthesia in Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July to December 2022 were retrospectively included in this study and divided into preschool group (36 cases), low school-age group (75 cases) and high school-age group (88 cases) according to age. S Scale and A Scale were also performed to evaluate the recovery from anesthesia. The vital signs of the children and the time required for reaching the target were recorded, and the scoring efficiency and safety of the two scales were compared.Results:The time required for S Scale to reach the standard (17.50 ± 9.29) min was significantly lower than that of A Scale (20.80 ± 12.61) min, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = 2.97, P<0.01). In the low school-age group, oxygen saturation (0.989 ± 0.010) of A Scale was higher than that of S Scale (0.980 ± 0.015), the difference was significant ( t = 2.17, P<0.05). The time required for S Scale to reach the standard was negatively correlated with age ( r = -0.385, P<0.01). There was no significant correlation between the time required for A scale to reach the standard and the children′s age ( r = -0.089, P>0.05). Conclusions:Although Steward Scale is more efficient than modified Aldrete Scale in evaluating anesthesia resuscitation in underage children undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy with general anesthesia, modified Aldrete Scale is safer than Steward Scale and is more conducive to ensuring the life safety of children.

Objective:To systematically integrate the attitudes and experiences of medical staffs towards the family presence during resuscitation and provide a reference for the development of family presence during resuscitation clinical practice in China.Methods:To search PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, CNKI, CBM and Wanfang database for qualitative studies on medical staff's attitudes and experiences of family presence during resuscitation since its inception to August 2022. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Australian JBI Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care (2017) quality assessment criteria for qualitative studies, which were integrated using a pooled integration approach.Results:A total of 12 papers were included to distil the findings of 74 studies, which were summarized to form 10 new categories and 4 consolidated findings including medical staffs′ attitudes towards and reasons for family presence during resuscitation, the impact of family presence during resuscitation on the resuscitation team, the impact of family presence during resuscitation on patients and families, and the real-life dilemmas and recommendations for medical staffs to allow family presence during resuscitation.Conclusions:We should pay attention to the difficulties and needs of family presence during resuscitation by medical staff, take into account the medical context in China, and improve the humanistic care system in our hospitals by considering hospital management, clinical practice, and the demands of patients and their families, in order to improve the accessibility of family presence during resuscitation by the medical staff.

Role and mechanism of tubastatin A in alleviating brain injury after cardiopulmonary resuscitation by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated cell apoptosis in swine / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective:To explore the role and mechanism of tubastatin A (TubA) in alleviating brain injury after cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA-CPR) by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated cell apoptosis in swine.Methods:Twenty-three conventional male white swine, weighing 33-40 kg, aged 4 to 6 months, were divided into 3 groups by random number table method: sham group ( n=6), CA-CPR group ( n=9), and TubA group ( n=8). The CA-CPR swine model was established by 9 min of electrically induced CA through pacing catheter in the right ventricle and then 6 min of CPR in the CA-CPR group. The CA-CPR swine model was established by the same method, and then a dose of 4.5 mg/kg of TubA at 5 min after resuscitation was intravenously infused in the TubA group. The serum concentrations of neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S100β protein (S100β) were measured using ELISA before modeling and at 1, 2, 4 and 24 h after resuscitation. Neurological deficit score (NDS) was evaluated at 24 h after resuscitation. Thereafter, the animals were euthanized, and brain cortex tissues were harvested, and the expression levels of caspase-12 and caspase-3 were measured using immunohistochemistry. Cell apoptosis index was detected by TUNEL assay. The variables among the three groups were compared with one-way analysis of variance and the Bonferroni hoc test using SPSS software. Results:Twenty-four h after resuscitation, the serum concentrations of NSE and S100β were significantly increased, and NDS was markedly elevated in the CA-CPR and TubA groups compared with the sham group (all P<0.05). Compared with the CA-CPR group, serum concentration of NSE starting 2 h after resuscitation and serum concentration of S100β starting 1 h after resuscitation were significantly decreased in the TubA group [NSE (ng/mL): (23.1±2.0) vs. (20.2±2.0) at 2 h, (28.4±2.3) vs. (23.7±1.9) at 4 h, (32.1±2.7) vs. (26.6±2.0) at 24 h; S100β (pg/mL): (2239±193) vs. (1923±101) at 1 h, (2817±157) vs. (2360±141) at 2 h, (3384±250) vs. (2691±210) at 4 h, (3965±303) vs. (3119±260) at 24 h, all P<0.05], and NDS was markedly reduced (240±30 vs. 63±44, P<0.05). At 24 h after resuscitation, brain cortex tissue detection showed that the expression levels of caspase-12 and caspase-3 were significantly increased, and cell apoptosis index was markedly elevated in the CA-CPR and TubA groups compared with the sham group (all P<0.05). However, the expression levels of caspase-12 and caspase-3 were significantly decreased [caspase-12:(7.1±0.7) vs. (4.2±0.4); caspase-3: (13.3±1.6) vs. (7.7±0.8), all P<0.05], and cell apoptosis index was markedly reduced in the TubA group compared to the CA-CPR group [(31.1±8.6) vs. (17.3±2.2), P<0.05]. Conclusions:TubA alleviates brain injury and neurological dysfunction after CA-CPR in swine, which may be related to the inhibition of cell apoptosis mediated by endoplasmic reticulum stress.
