Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone position: a systematic review of case series/reports / Reanimação cardiopulmonar em posição prona: uma revisão sistemática de séries/relatos de casos

Abstract Introduction The prone position is frequently adopted for surgical or critically ill patients in intensive care. Cardiorespiratory arrest in these patients may pose an operational challenge, in which delays resulting from mobilization to the supine position culminate in worse outcomes. Objective To provide clinical insight based on the synthesis of evidence from reports or case series on reverse cardiopulmonary resuscitation (reverse CPR) in surgical patients or invasive ventilatory support in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods This is a systematic review of reports or case series in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar databases, in addition to a search of the gray literature. Case reports published in any language, reporting at least one case of prone cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients of any age and in any care context, were considered eligible. Results Thirteen studies of fourteen cases of successful reverse resuscitation were retrieved. Three patients died within 30 days, while the others survived without complications or neurological sequelae. Conclusion Despite limited evidence to support clinical decision-making, prone resuscitation appears to be a feasible alternative in exceptional circumstances, where patient mobilization may result in additional harm, delay or interrupt advanced life support (compressions, high-quality early chest surgery, and defibrillation) or incur occupational risks to the health team.

Resumo Introdução A posição prona é um procedimento frequente de cuidados intensivos para pacientes cirúrgicos ou doentes graves. A ocorrência de parada cardiorrespiratória nestes pacientes pode representar um desafio operacional, no qual atrasos relacionados à mobilização para decúbito dorsal implicam em piores desfechos. Objetivo Oferecer um insight clínico a partir da síntese das evidências oriundas de relatos ou séries de casos sobre a utilização de reanimação cardiopulmonar reversa em pacientes cirúrgicos ou em suporte ventilatório invasivo na síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo grave. Métodos Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de relatos ou séries de casos condu-zida nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Embase e Google Scholar, além de busca na literatura cinzenta. Foram considerados elegíveis relatos de caso publicados em qualquer idioma, que reportaram pelo menos um caso de reanimação cardiopulmonar em posição prona em pacientes de qualquer idade e em qualquer contexto de atendimento. Resultados Foram recuperados treze estudos que relataram quatorze casos de reanimação reversa bem-sucedidos. Três pacientes faleceram em um intervalo de 30 dias, enquanto os demais sobreviveram sem complicações ou sequelas neurológicas. Conclusão Apesar de evidências limitadas para suportar a tomada de decisão clínica, a reanimação em posição prona parece ser uma alternativa factível em circunstâncias excepcionais, nas quais a mobilização do paciente pode resultar em dano adicional, atrasar ou interromper o suporte avançado de vida (compressões torácicas precoces de alta qualidade e a desfibrilação) ou, ainda, incorrer em riscos ocupacionais à equipe de saúde.

Embolia de líquido amniótico asociada a paro cardiorrespiratorio recuperado y síndrome de Sheehan / Amniotic fluid embolism associated with recovered cardiac arrest and postpartum Sheehan's syndrome

Resumen La embolia de líquido amniótico es una condición catastrófica propia del embarazo que ocurre típicamente durante el parto o justo posterior a este, cuyo sustrato fisiopatológico no ha sido aclarado por completo. Se ha estimado, según cifras de los Estados Unidos, que su incidencia rondaría 1 por cada 12.953 partos, y en el Reino Unido 1 por cada 50.000 partos; sin embargo, estas cifras pueden ser imprecisas debido a que no existen una referencia ni un consenso respecto a los criterios diagnósticos, además de que el cuadro clínico se puede confundir con otras emergencias obstétricas. Se presenta el caso de una paciente sin antecedentes mórbidos que presenta un cuadro de embolia de líquido amniótico no fatal, caracterizado por un estado fetal no tranquilizador durante la inducción del trabajo de parto, seguido de un paro cardiorrespiratorio durante la cesárea de urgencia y la rápida y catastrófica aparición de signos clínicos de una coagulopatía de consumo grave. Se describen además las complicaciones posoperatorias y su manejo, entre ellas un síndrome de Sheehan y la aparición de convulsiones tónico-clónicas generalizadas con alteración de neuroimágenes.

Abstract Amniotic fluid embolism is a catastrophic pregnancy condition that typically occurs during or inmediately after delivery, and whose pathophysiological background has not been fully clarified. According to US records the incidence of amniotic fluid embolism could been around 1 for every 12,953 births and in the United Kingdom 1 for every 50,000 births, however these numbers may be imprecise because there is no gold standard as well as no consensus regarding the diagnostic criteria, in addition that the clinical presentation can be misdiagnosis with other obstetric emergencies. We present the clinical case of a patient without a morbid history who presents with a non-fatal amniotic fluid embolism, characterized by an non-reassuring fetal status during labor induction, followed by cardiorespiratory arrest during emergency cesarean section and the rapid and catastrophic appearance of clinical signs of a severe consumptive coagulopathy. Postoperative complications and their management are also described, including Sheehans syndrome and the appearance of generalized tonic-clonic seizures with impaired neuroimaging.

Impact of different waves of COVID-19 on emergency medical services and out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest in Madrid, Spain / 世界急诊医学杂志（英文）

@#Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the three leading causes of death in industrialized countries.[1,2]Some studies have described the impact of the first COVID-19 pandemic wave in terms of the number of cases and OHCA survival rates in various regions,[3-5] but few have addressed the relationship between the successive phases and how they affected OHCA.[6,7] The 14-d cumulative incidence peaked at more than 990 cases, with these rates remaining above 200 for an eight-month period between 15 March 2020 and 15 March 2021 in Madrid, Spain.

Cardiopulmonary arrest due to bronchoscopy-induced Takotsubo syndrome in a patient with antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated lung disease: a case report / Journal of Rural Medicine

Objective: Cardiac arrest (CA) has been observed in some patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), most of whom had CA at the initial presentation of TTS. The objective of this report was to discuss the factors underlying the onset of this syndrome.Case presentation: A 72-year-old woman with refractory antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated lung disease was referred to our hospital. Twenty minutes after bronchoscopic examination, cardiopulmonary arrest suddenly occurred. Resuscitation immediately resumed her heartbeat and spontaneous breathing. Subsequent 12-lead electrocardiography, echocardiography, and left ventricular angiography revealed TTS.Conclusion: This case indicates that bronchoscopy can cause severe TTS, especially in patients with systemic inflammation.

Effective Management with IMPELLA CP® and Hypothermia Therapy for a Case of Severe Ischemic Coronary Disease after Cardiopulmonary Arrest / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital following cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) during work. After resuscitation, coronary angiography revealed left main coronary artery stenosis and three-vessel disease. We considered that coronary artery revascularization was required, but the neurological prognosis was unknown. Thus, an IMPELLA CP® device was inserted and systemic management, including hypothermic therapy, was initiated. Circulatory conditions were stable during hypothermia therapy. Rewarming was initiated 24 h later, and we confirmed no abnormal neurological findings. Emergency off-pump coronary artery bypass was then performed. During the procedure, hemodynamic status was maintained using the IMPELLA CP® device. After surgery, the patient was discharged without neurological complications. We report the management of a patient with severe three-vessel disease after resuscitation for CPA using an IMPELLA CP® device and hypothermic therapy.

Epidemiology of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation / Epidemiologia da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar pediátrica

Abstract Objective: To analyze the main epidemiological aspects of prehospital and hospital pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the impact of scientific evidence on survival. Source of data: This was a narrative review of the literature published at PubMed/MEDLINE until January 2019 including original and review articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, annals of congresses, and manual search of selected articles. Synthesis of data: The prehospital and hospital settings have different characteristics and prognoses. Pediatric prehospital cardiopulmonary arrest has a three-fold lower survival rate than cardiopulmonary arrest in the hospital setting, occurring mostly at home and in children under 1 year. Higher survival appears to be associated with age progression, shockable rhythm, emergency medical care, use of automatic external defibrillator, high-quality early life support, telephone dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and is strongly associated with witnessed cardiopulmonary arrest. In the hospital setting, a higher incidence was observed in children under 1 year of age, and mortality increased with age. Higher survival was observed with shorter cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration, occurrence on weekdays and during daytime, initial shockable rhythm, and previous monitoring. Despite the poor prognosis of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation, an increase in survival has been observed in recent years, with good neurological prognosis in the hospital setting. Conclusions: A great progress in the science of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been observed, especially in developed countries. The recognition of the epidemiological aspects that influence cardiopulmonary resuscitation survival may direct efforts towards more effective actions; thus, studies in emerging and less favored countries remains a priority regarding the knowledge of local factors.

Resumo Objetivo: Analisar os principais aspectos epidemiológicos da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar pediátrica pré-hospitalar e hospitalar e o impacto das evidências científicas na sobrevida. Fonte de dados: Revisão narrativa da literatura publicada em Pubmed/Medline até janeiro de 2019, inclusive artigos originais e de revisão, revisões sistemáticas, metanálises, anais de Congresso, além de busca manual dos artigos selecionados. Síntese dos dados: Os cenários pré-hospitalar e hospitalar apresentam características e prognósticos distintos. A parada cardiorrespiratória pré-hospitalar pediátrica apresenta sobrevida três vezes menor do que a hospitalar, ocorre em sua maioria nas residências e nos menores de um ano. A maior sobrevida parece estar associada a progressão da idade, ritmo chocável, atendimento por serviço médico de emergência, uso de desfibrilador externo automático, suporte básico de vida precoce de alta qualidade e orientação de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar via telefônica por atendente e está fortemente associada com parada cardiorrespiratória presenciada. No cenário hospitalar, observou-se maior incidência em menores de um ano e mortalidade crescente com a idade. Maior sobrevida foi observada quanto a menor duração da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar, ocorrência em dias da semana e período diurno, ritmo chocável inicial e monitoração prévia. Apesar do prognóstico reservado da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar pediátrica, observou-se nos últimos anos incremento da sobrevida com bom prognóstico neurológico no cenário hospitalar. Conclusões: Houve grande avanço na ciência da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar pediátrica, especialmente em países desenvolvidos. O reconhecimento dos aspectos epidemiológicos que influenciam a sobrevida da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar pode direcionar esforços para ações mais efetivas. Assim, a pesquisa em países emergentes e menos favorecidos persiste como prioridade no conhecimento de fatores locais.

Fatores associados ao conhecimento de pessoas leigas sobre suporte básico de vida / Factores asociados con el conocimiento de los laicos sobre el soporte vital básico / Factors associated with lay people's knowledge about basic life support

Resumo Analisar os fatores associados ao conhecimento de pessoas leigas acerca do suporte básico de vida. Estudo epidemiológico, descritivo, de corte transversal, desenvolvido com 65 funcionários de um Campus da Universidade do Estado da Bahia. Os dados foram coletados nos meses de fevereiro e março de 2019 e tabulados no software IBM SPSS versão 21.0. A análise foi realizada através de frequências descritivas, teste qui-quadrado de Pearson e Exato de Fisher, adotando um grau de significância de 95% e valor de p <0,05. Observou-se que 67,7% dos participantes não sabem o que é suporte básico de vida, 61,5% não se sentem preparadas para agir em emergência, 58,5% não saberia como facilitar a respiração de uma vítima, 64,7% não sabem a quantidade de compressões realizadas por minuto e 86,2% não sabem a função do desfibrilador externo automático. No que se refere aos fatores associados, o conhecimento sobre suporte básico está associado a ser docente, (p=0,005), sentirse preparado para atuar em situações de emergência (p=0,001), saber como facilitar a respiração da vítima (p=0,000), saber o local de realização das compressões torácicas (p=0,013). O estudo levanta a necessidade de maior capacitação de pessoas leigas acerca do suporte básico de vida para que possam assistir adequadamente as vítimas de parada cardíaca em ambiente extra-hospitalar.

Abstract To analyze the factors associated with the knowledge of lay people about basic life support. This is a descriptive cross-sectional epidemiological study, conducted with 65 employees from a Campus at the State University of Bahia. Data were collected in February and March 2019 and tabulated in IBM SPSS version 21.0 software. The analysis was performed using descriptive frequencies, Pearson's chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, adopting a significance level of 95% and p value <0.05. It was observed that 67.7% of participants do not know what is basic life support, 61.5% do not feel prepared to act in emergency, 58.5% would not know how to facilitate the breathing of a victim, 64.7% do not know the amount of compressions performed per minute and 86.2% do not know the function of the automatic external defibrillator. Regarding associated factors, knowledge about basic support is associated with being a teacher (p = 0.005), feeling prepared to act in emergency situations (p = 0.001), knowing how to facilitate the victim's breathing (p = 0.001). = 0.000), know the location of the chest compressions (p = 0.013). The study raises the need for greater training of lay people about basic life support so that they can adequately assist victims of cardiac arrest in an out-of-hospital setting.

Identification of warning signs for prevention of in-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest / Identificação dos sinais de alerta para a prevenção da parada cardiorrespiratória intra-hospitalar / Identificación de las señales de alerta para la prevención de la parada cardiorrespiratoria intrahospitalaria

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the occurrence of warning signs and changes in vital signs in individuals who experienced in-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest and correlate them with the occurrence of this event. Method: this is a retrospective, analytical and quantitative study that included 218 medical records of patients who suffered in-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest and identified warning signs and alterations in vital signs. Mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values were calculated for the continuous variables, and frequency and percentage for the categorical variables. We compared the age and occurrence of cardiorespiratory arrest with the occurrence of warning signs using the Chi-Square Test and the Mann Whitney non-parametric test (p-value < 0.05). Results: 62.1% of the patients presented signs and symptoms of shock, 44.9% of neurological alteration, 40.4% of malaise, 15.2% presented signs suggestive of acute coronary syndrome, and 25.9% presented mental confusion. In the last measurement of vital signs before cardiorespiratory arrest, the majority of patients had altered abnormal (32.6%) and severely abnormal (23.9%) heart rate, and abnormal (37.1%) and severely abnormal (27.0%) respiratory rate. Conclusion: the warning signs identified were: shock, neurological signs, malaise and acute coronary syndrome. The prevalent changes in vital signs were: heart rate, respiratory rate and O2 saturation. Patients with severely abnormal systolic blood pressure were not discharged and those with abnormal respiratory rate did not survive 6 months after cardiorespiratory arrest.

RESUMO Objetivo: identificar ocorrência dos sinais de alerta e alterações nos sinais vitais em indivíduos com parada cardiorrespiratória intra-hospitalar e correlacioná-los à ocorrência desse evento. Método: estudo retrospectivo, analítico e quantitativo que incluiu 218 prontuários de pacientes que sofreram parada cardiorrespiratória intra-hospitalar e identificados sinais de alerta e alterações nos sinais vitais. Para variáveis contínuas, calculou-se média, desvio padrão, mediana, mínimo e máximo; para as categóricas, frequência e percentual. Comparou-se a idade e ocorrência de parada cardiorrespiratória com ocorrência de sinais de alerta pelo Teste Qui-Quadrado e Teste não paramétrico de MannWhitney (p-valor<0,05). Resultados: 62,1% dos pacientes apresentaram sinais e sintomas de choque, 44,9% neurológicos, 40,4% mal-estar, 15,2% sugestivos de síndrome coronariana aguda e 25,9% confusão mental. Na última mensuração dos sinais vitais antes da parada cardiorrespiratória, a maioria apresentou frequência cardíaca alterada, anormal (32,6%) e severamente anormal (23,9%), frequência respiratória anormal (37,1%) e severamente anormal (27,0%). Conclusão: identificou-se como sinais de alerta: sinais de choque, neurológicos, mal-estar e síndrome coronariana aguda. Alterações nos sinais vitais prevalentes foram: frequência cardíaca, respiratória e saturação de O2. Pacientes com pressão arterial sistólica severamente anormal não receberam alta e aqueles com frequência respiratória anormal não sobreviveram em 6 meses após a parada cardiorrespiratória.

Left Ventricular Overlapping Surgery for Broad Ventricular Aneurysm Associated with Cardiac Sarcoidosis : The First Case Report / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

Left ventricular overlapping operation was applied to a woman with cardiac sarcoidosis who presented with cardiopulmonary arrest. She did not have any particular history, with minimal risk factors for atherosclerosis. By-stander cardiopulmonary resuscitation delivered by her husband saved her life. Acute coronary syndrome was denied by emergency coronary arteriography. However, left vetriculography revealed broad dyskinetic area inconsistent with coronary distribution. Those findings raised a high suspicion of cardiac sarcoidosis, although this was unconfirmed. Broad ventricular aneurysm and a history of cardiac arrest and congestive heart failure prompted us to operate on her. Left ventricular overlapping operation was applied followed by ICD implantation and steroid induction. The pathologic examination of the ventricular wall showed noncaseous epithelioid granulomas and polynuclear giant cells, which are consistent with cardiac sarcoidosis. She has been leading a healthy daily life without signs of heart failure for one and a half years after discharge. Lesions of cardiac sarcoidosis have a broad spectrum from narrow localized to wide generalized aneurysm. Appropriate surgical strategy should be performed according to the location and the extent of the lesion. Left ventricular overlapping operation is among the alternatives.

La reanimación cardiopulmonar pediátrica y la capacitación para la asistencia en emergencias / Pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic skills training for emergency assistance

Se destacan las novedades en reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) pediátrica de la AHA 2015 y se repasa esquemáticamente el soporte vital básico y avanzado en los casos de paro cardiorrespiratorio en niños. Se resumen los aspectos claves y principales cambios realizados respecto de la actualización anterior (2010). Se sugiere incorporar en los hospitales un equipo de emergencias pediátrico y un equipo de rápida respuesta que brinden una atención inmediata y efectiva. Se describe un sistema de puntuación (puntaje PEWS) que permitiría identificar y predecir pacientes con riesgo de descompensación por diferentes etiologías. Se indica tratamiento inicial de la sepsis grave y shock séptico con un bolo de fluidos de 20 ml/kg en lactantes y niños con líquidos cristaloides o coloides. Se mantiene la secuencia C-A-B de las guías 2010 como orden de elección para la RCP pediátrica (aunque las recomendaciones ILCOR 2015 equiparan las secuencias A-B-C y C-A-B). La profundidad de las compresiones debe deprimir por lo menos un tercio del diámetro anteroposterior o aproximadamente 4 cm en lactantes. En los niños las compresiones se realizarán como en los adultos, por lo menos 5 a 6 cm de profundidad como límite superior; con una frecuencia de 100 a 120 CPM. En caso de reanimadores legos que no deseen o no puedan proporcionar ventilaciones, se utilizaran sólo compresiones torácicas. En los casos de FV y TV sin pulso, se realizará una descarga con desfibrilador monofásico o bifásico de energía inicial (2 a 4 J/kg) seguida de compresiones torácicas; dosis siguientes mayores o iguales a 4 J/kg son seguras y efectivas.

The new developments in pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (AHA 2015) and basic and advanced life support are reviewed schematically in cases of cardiopulmonary arrest in children. In this article we summarize the key aspects and major changes made to the previous update (2010). It is suggested that a Pediatric Emergency Team and a Rapid Response Team to provide fast and effective care should be incorporated in hospitals. A scoring system (PEWS) is described that will allow for the identification and prediction of patients at risk of decompensation due to different etiologies. Initial treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock with a fluid bolus of 20 ml/kg in infants and children with crystalloid or colloid fluids is indicated. The C-A-B sequence from the 2010 guides for pediatric CPR is maintained (although the recommendations of ILCOR 2015 attach the same importance to both "A-B-C" and "C-A-B" sequences). The depth of chest compression should be at least one third of the anteroposterior diameter, or approximately 4 cm in infants. In children and adults compressions are equivalent to depressing no more than 5 to 6 cm, with a compression frequency of 100 to 120 CPM. If lay rescuers do not want, or cannot, provide sufficient ventilation, we recommend that chest compressions should be performed. For treatment of non-pulsed VF and VT, an initial shock (2 to 4 J/kg) with mono or biphasic defibrillator should be applied, followed by chest compressions; subsequent doses of ≥ 4 J/kg are safe and effective.

Rapid Response Systems Reduce In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Arrest: A Pilot Study and Motivation for a Nationwide Survey / 대한구급학회지

BACKGROUND: Early recognition of the signs and symptoms of clinical deterioration could diminish the incidence of cardiopulmonary arrest. The present study investigates outcomes with respect to cardiopulmonary arrest rates in institutions with and without rapid response systems (RRSs) and the current level of cardiopulmonary arrest rate in tertiary hospitals. METHODS: This was a retrospective study based on data from 14 tertiary hospitals. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rate reports were obtained from each hospital to include the number of cardiopulmonary arrest events in adult patients in the general ward, the annual adult admission statistics, and the structure of the RRS if present. RESULTS: Hospitals with RRSs showed a statistically significant reduction of the CPR rate between 2013 and 2015 (odds ratio [OR], 0.731; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.577 to 0.927; P = 0.009). Nevertheless, CPR rates of 2013 and 2015 did not change in hospitals without RRS (OR, 0.988; 95% CI, 0.868 to 1.124; P = 0.854). National university-affiliated hospitals showed less cardiopulmonary arrest rate than private university-affiliated in 2015 (1.92 vs. 2.40; OR, 0.800; 95% CI, 0.702 to 0.912; P = 0.001). High-volume hospitals showed lower cardiopulmonary arrest rates compared with medium-volume hospitals in 2013 (1.76 vs. 2.63; OR, 0.667; 95% CI, 0.577 to 0.772; P < 0.001) and in 2015 (1.55 vs. 3.20; OR, 0.485; 95% CI, 0.428 to 0.550; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: RRSs may be a feasible option to reduce the CPR rate. The discrepancy in cardiopulmonary arrest rates suggests further research should include a nationwide survey to tease out factors involved in in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest and differences in outcomes based on hospital characteristics.

Progress of factors affecting the outcome of resuscitation in children / 国际儿科学杂志

Cardiopulmonary arrest is one of the most critical situations,posing a serious threat to life.With the development of medical technology, the rate of return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest has been improved.However, many children suffer from multiple organ dysfunction because of the long hypoxia time from cardioplumonary arrest, so the rate of long-term survival is relatively low and the long-term outcome is still not satisfactory.Therefore, how to make cardiopulmonary resuscitation more effective is the focus of current research.This article reviews the related factors that affect the outcome of resuscitation, providing references for the treatment of cardiopulmonary arrest in children.
