    Abstract Background/aims: The motivating randomized controlled phase I trial evaluates three sodium nitroprusside doses in a novel sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation strategy for improved end-organ perfusion relative to local standard of care. Sodium nitroprusside is a vasodilator with an established safety profile in other indications, whereas the local standard of care uses vasoconstrictors, typically epinephrine. The purpose of the proposed trial is to identify the highest safe dose of sodium nitroprusside in this new context as excessive doses may cause severe hypotension with compromised end-organ perfusion.
    Methods: The proposed phase I trial design expands upon traditional dose-finding designs to include a randomized control arm, which is needed to assess safety through the relative increase in serum lactate on hospital admission. For guiding dose escalation, we propose and compare six Bayesian models which characterize expected serum lactate as a function of sodium nitroprusside dose and randomization group. Each model makes a different assumption about the expected change in serum lactate across control cohorts concurrently randomized with each dose. Model selection aims to minimize the expected number of times that a dose is incorrectly classified as safe or unsafe while sample size selection targets an expected number of incorrectly classified doses. Randomization is 1:1 for the initial cohort, and for subsequent cohorts is chosen to maximize the lower confidence bound.
    Results: The spike-and-slab model minimizes the expected number of times that a dose is incorrectly classified as safe or unsafe under the most scenarios in the motivating three-dose trial, but all six models exhibit relatively similar performance. A 2:1 randomization ratio for the second and third cohorts maximizes the lower confidence bound when using the spike-and-slab model. With the optimal design, on average, 70 individuals will ensure 1 incorrectly classified dose in 6 opportunities.
    Conclusion: We recommend that the motivating trial use the spike-and-slab model with a 1:1 randomization ratio for the initial cohort and 2:1 randomization ratio for subsequent cohorts; however, the simpler fixed effects approaches performed similarly well.

    Abstract Aim: Increasing venous return during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been shown to improve hemodynamics during CPR and outcomes following cardiac arrest (CA). We hypothesized that a high central venous pressure amplitude (CVP-A), the difference between the maximum and minimum central venous pressure during chest compressions, could serve as a robust predictor of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in addition to traditional measurements of coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and end-tidal CO
    Methods: After 10 min of ventricular fibrillation, 9 anesthetized and intubated female pigs received mechanical chest compressions with active compression/decompression (ACD) and an impedance threshold device (ITD). CPP, CVP-A and etCO
    Results: Five animals out of 9 experienced ROSC. CVP-A showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.003) between the two groups during 3 min of CPR before defibrillation compared to CPP (p = 0.056) and etCO
    Conclusion: In our study, CVP-A was a potentially useful predictor of successful defibrillation and return of spontaneous circulation. Overall, CVP-A could serve as a marker for prediction of ROSC with increased venous return and thereby monitoring the beneficial effects of ACD and ITD.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To discuss the clear rationale for evidence-based medicine (EvBM) in the challenging realms of resuscitation research, yet also provide case examples in which even the well designed, multicentered randomized clinical trial may have had unrecognized limitations, and thus misleading results. This is where experienced-based medicine (ExBM) helps to resolve the issue.
    Recent findings: Recent publications have brought to task the conclusions drawn from various clinical trials of resuscitative interventions. These articles have indicated that some major clinical trials that later determined the universal guidelines for resuscitative protocols may have been affected by unrecognized confounding variables, effect modifiers and other problems such as delayed timing. Many interventions, deemed to be ineffective because of these study factors, may actually have lifesaving effects that would have been confirmed had the proper circumstances been in place. With the right mindset, the clinician-researcher can often identify and address those situations.
    Summary: When clinical trials indicate ineffectiveness of an intervention that worked very well in other circumstances, both preclinical and clinical, clinician-investigators should continue to re-search the issues and not always take conclusions at face value.

    Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an emerging method of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to improve outcomes from cardiac arrest. This approach targets patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest previously unresponsive and refractory to standard treatment, combining approximately 1 h of standard CPR followed by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and coronary artery revascularization. Despite its relatively new emergence for the treatment of cardiac arrest, the approach is grounded in a vast body of preclinical and clinical data that demonstrate significantly improved survival and neurological outcomes despite unprecedented, prolonged periods of CPR. In this review, we detail the principles behind VA-ECMO-facilitated resuscitation, contemporary clinical approaches with outcomes, and address the emerging new understanding of the process of death and capability for neurological recovery.

    Abstract Importance: Survival for children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains poor despite improvements in adult OHCA survival.
    Objective: To characterize the frequency of and factors associated with adverse safety events (ASEs) in pediatric OHCA.
    Design, setting, and participants: This population-based retrospective cohort study examined patient care reports from 51 emergency medical services (EMS) agencies in California, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin for children younger than 18 years with an OHCA in which resuscitation was attempted by EMS personnel between 2013 and 2019. Medical record review was conducted from January 2019 to April 2022 and data analysis from October 2022 to February 2023.
    Main outcomes and measure: Severe ASEs during the patient encounter (eg, failure to give an indicated medication, 10-fold medication overdose).
    Results: A total of 1019 encounters of EMS-treated pediatric OHCA were evaluated; 465 patients (46%) were younger than 12 months. At least 1 severe ASE occurred in 610 patients (60%), and 310 patients (30%) had 2 or more. Neonates had the highest frequency of ASEs. The most common severe ASEs involved epinephrine administration (332 [30%]), vascular access (212 [19%]), and ventilation (160 [14%]). In multivariable logistic regression, the only factor associated with severe ASEs was young age. Neonates with birth-related and non-birth-related OHCA had greater odds of a severe ASE compared with adolescents (birth-related: odds ratio [OR], 7.0; 95% CI, 3.1-16.1; non-birth-related: OR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.2-9.6).
    Conclusions and relevance: In this large geographically diverse cohort of children with EMS-treated OHCA, 60% of all patients experienced at least 1 severe ASE. The odds of a severe ASE were higher for neonates than adolescents and even higher when the cardiac arrest was birth related. Given the national increase in out-of-hospital births and ongoing poor outcomes of OHCA in young children, these findings represent an urgent call to action to improve care delivery and training for this population.

    Abstract Background: Refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with standard advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) has poor outcomes. Transport to hospital followed by in-hospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) initiation may improve outcomes. We performed a pooled individual patient data analysis of two randomised controlled trials evaluating ECPR based approach in OHCA.
    Methods: The individual patient data from two published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were pooled: ARREST (enrolled Aug 2019-June 2020; NCT03880565) and PRAGUE-OHCA (enrolled March 1, 2013-Oct 25, 2020; NCT01511666). Both trials enrolled patients with refractory OHCA and compared: intra-arrest transport with in-hospital ECPR initiation (invasive approach) versus continued standard ACLS. The primary outcome was 180-day survival with favourable neurological outcome (defined as Cerebral Performance Category 1-2). Secondary outcomes included: cumulative survival at 180 days, 30-day favourable neurological survival, and 30-day cardiac recovery. Risk of bias in each trial was assessed by two independent reviewers using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Heterogeneity was assessed via Forest plots.
    Findings: The two RCTs included 286 patients. Of those randomised to the invasive (n = 147) and standard (n = 139) groups, respectively: the median age was 57 (IQR 47-65) and 58 years (IQR 48-66), and the median duration of resuscitation was 58 (IQR 43-69) and 49 (IQR 33-71) minutes (p = 0.17). In a modified intention to treat analysis, 45 (32.4%) in the invasive and 29 (19.7%) patients in the standard arm survived to 180 days with a favourable neurological outcome [absolute difference (AD), 95% CI: 12.7%, 2.6-22.7%, p = 0.015]. Forty-seven (33.8%) and 33 (22.4%) patients survived to 180 days [HR 0.59 (0.43-0.81); log rank test p = 0.0009]. At 30 days, 44 (31.7%) and 24 (16.3%) patients had favourable neurological outcome (AD 15.4%, 5.6-25.1%, p = 0.003), 60 (43.2%), and 46 (31.3%) patients had cardiac recovery (AD: 11.9%, 0.7-23%, p = 0.05), in the invasive and standard arms, respectively. The effect was larger in patients presenting with shockable rhythms (AD 18.8%, 7.6-29.4; p = 0.01; HR 2.26 [1.23-4.15]; p = 0.009) and prolonged CPR (>45 min; HR 3.99 (1.54-10.35); p = 0.005).
    Interpretation: In patients with refractory OHCA, the invasive approach significantly improved 30- and 180-day neurologically favourable survival.

    Abstract Background: Analyses of data recorded by monitor-defibrillators that measure CPR depth with different methods show significant relationships between the process and outcome of CPR. Our objective was to evaluate whether chest compression depth was significantly associated with outcome based on accelerometer-recordings obtained with monitor-defibrillators from a single manufacturer, and to assess whether an accelerometer-based analysis corroborated evidence-based practice guidelines on performance of CPR.
    Methods and results: We included 5434 adult patients treated from seven US and Canadian cities between January 2007 and May 2015. These had mean (SD) age of 64.2 (17.2) years, mean compression depth of 45.9 (12.7) mm, ROSC sustained to ED arrival of 26%, and survival to hospital discharge of 8%. For survival to discharge, the adjusted odds ratios were 1.15 (95% CI, 0.86, 1.55) for cases within 2005 depth range (38-51 mm), and 1.17 (95% CI, 0.91, 1.50) for cases within 2010 depth range (>50 mm) compared to those with an average depth of <38 mm. The adjusted odds ratio of survival was 1.33 (95% CI, 1.01, 1.75) for cases within 2015 depth range (50 to 60 mm) for at least 60% of minutes.
    Conclusions: This analysis of patients with OHCA demonstrated that increased chest compression depth measured by accelerometer is associated with better survival. It confirms that current evidence-based recommendations to compress within 50-60 mm are likely associated with greater survival than compressing to another depth.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Recent advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation have led to greater understanding of cardio-cerebral-pulmonary interactions during the process. The purpose of this discussion is to update the physiologic understanding of these interactions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, review the detrimental and beneficial effects of ventilation, and identify implications for clinical practice.
    Recent findings: There is an inversely proportional relationship between mean intrathoracic pressure, coronary perfusion pressure, and survival from cardiac arrest. Increased ventilation rates and increased ventilation duration impede venous blood return to the heart, decreasing hemodynamics and coronary perfusion pressure during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It has also been shown that there is a direct and immediate transfer of the increase in intrathoracic pressure to the cranial cavity with each positive pressure ventilation, also reducing cerebral perfusion pressure. The reduced amount of blood flowing through the pulmonary bed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation tends to be overventilated, compromising hemodynamics to both the heart and brain and resulting in ventilation/perfusion mismatch.
    Summary: The fundamental hemodynamic principle of intrathoracic pressure defines cardio-cerebral-pulmonary interactions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Further research is essential to optimize these interactions during treatment of profound shock.
