Purpose. We investigated the protective effects and the underlying mechanisms through which recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) acts on postresuscitation myocardial dysfunction (PRMD) in the cardiac arrest (CA) model. Methods. Ventricular fibrillation was induced and untreated for 6 min. And the time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 8 min, after which defibrillation was attempted in this rat model. 24 Sprague Dawley rats (450–550g) were randomized into cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) + rhBNP and CPR + placebo groups after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). rhBNP was infused at PR 30 min (loading dose: 1.5 µg/kg, 3 min; maintenance dose: 0.01 µg/kg/min, 6 h). Vital signs, ejection fraction (EF), cardiac output (CO), myocardial performance index (MPI), and 24 h survival rate were continuously recorded. The serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were detected by ELISA. Heart tissues were evaluated by light microscopy. The protein expression levels of myocardial inflammatory factors (IL-6 and TNF-α), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) subunit p65 (p65), and phosphor-p65 were analyzed by western blotting. Results. The administration of rhBNP attenuated the severity of PRMD and myocardial tissue injuries, with improvement of MAP (mean arterial blood pressure), ETCO2 (end-tidal CO2), serum level of NT-proBNP, EF, CO, and MPI values. The serum levels and protein expression levels in myocardial tissue of IL-6 and TNF-α after ROSC were reduced by inhibiting the expression of TLR4/NF-κB. Conclusion. Our research demonstrated that the administration of rhBNP attenuated the severity of PRMD and myocardial tissue injuries and increased the 24 h survival rate in this CA model. rhBNP administration also reduced the serum and myocardial tissue levels of IL-6 and TNF-α after ROSC, likely due to the suppression of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and the regulation of inflammatory mediator secretion.

Background: Impella CP is a left ventricular pump which may serve as a circulatory support during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for cardiac arrest (CA). Nevertheless, the survival rate and factors associated with survival in patients undergoing Impella insertion during CPR for CA are unknown. Methods: We performed a retrospective multicenter international registry of patients undergoing Impella insertion during on-going CPR for in- or out-of-hospital CA. We recorded immediate and 30-day survival with and without neurologic impairment using the cerebral performance category score and evaluated the factors associated with survival. Results: Thirty-five patients had an Impella CP implanted during CPR for CA. Refractory ventricular arrhythmias were the most frequent initial rhythm (65.7%). In total, 65.7% of patients immediately survived. At 30 days, 45.7% of patients were still alive. The 30-day survival rate without neurological impairment was 37.1%. In univariate analysis, survival was associated with both an age < 75 years and a time from arrest to CPR ≤ 5 min (p = 0.035 and p = 0.008, respectively). Conclusions: In our multicenter registry, Impella CP insertion during ongoing CPR for CA was associated with a 37.1% rate of 30-day survival without neurological impairment. The factors associated with survival were a young age and a time from arrest to CPR ≤ 5 min.

Background: In Japan, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) became popular for cardiac arrest patients who resist conventional advanced life supports. Regardless of many clinical experiences, there has been no previous systematic literature review. Methods: Case series, reports and proceedings of scientific meeting about ECPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest written in Japanese between January 1, 1983 and July 31, 2007 were collected with Japana Centra Revuo Medicina (medical publication database in Japan) and review by experts. The outcome and characteristics of the patients were investigated, and the influence of publication bias of the case series study was also examined by the Funnel Plot method. Results: There were 951 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients who received ECPR in 92 reports (including 59 case series and 33 case reports) during the period. The average of age was 38.1 (4 – 88) years old and 76.1% was male. Three hundreds and eighty-one cases (40.1%) were arrests of cardiac etiology, and 212 were non-cardiac (22.3%). The cause of arrest was not described in other 37.6%. Excluding reports for only one case, weighted survival rate at discharge of 792 cases those were clearly described the outcome was 39.5±10.0%. When the relationship between the number of cases and the survival rate at discharge in each 59 case series study was shown in figure by the Funnel Plot method, the plotted data presented the reverse-funnel type that centered on the average of survival rate of all. Conclusions: The influence of publication bias of previous reports in Japan was relatively low. ECPR can greatly contribute to improve the outcome of out-of hospital cardiac arrests.

ABSTRAKKejadian henti jantung dapat terjadi dimana saja baik di rumah sakit maupun di luar rumah sakit atau Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA). Usaha untuk meningkatkan survival rate kejadian henti jantung adalah pemberian Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)/ resusitasi jantung paru (RJP) yang berkualitas. Faktor yang mempengaruhi seseorang untuk mau menjadi bystander CPR bukan hanya terkait pengetahuan dan teknik melakukan CPR namun juga dipengaruhi oleh faktor sosial, kerelaan melakukan, kesiapan psikologis dan faktor lainnya seperti aspek etik dan hukum. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh persepsi perlindungan hukum dan aspek etik terhadap keinginan perawat dalam memberikan tindakan CPR pada kejadian Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan metode kuisioner yang dikembangkan oleh peneliti dan menggunakan total sampling yang melibatkan seluruh perawat IGD RSUD Budhi Asih sebanyak 30 orang. Analisis menggunakan uji Fisher’s Exact dan Cochran-Mantel Haenszel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mayoritas responden (56,7%) memiliki persepsi yang negatif terhadap perlindungan hukum terhadap bystander CPR pada OHCA. Meskipun demikian, perawat cenderung memiliki persepsi yang positif ketika menjawab pertanyaan terkait isu etik CPR pada korban anak-anak, wanita maupun lansia. Sebanyak 43,33% (13 perawat) memiliki keinginan positif untuk melakukan CPR pada OHCA sementara 56,67% (17 perawat) lainnya memiliki keinginan negatif sebagai bystander CPR. Hasil uji Cochran-Mantel Haenszel menunjukkan persepsi terhadap perlindungan hukum mempengaruhi keinginan perawat dalam memberikan CPR pada OHCA dan akan diperbesar kemungkinan memberikan CPR apabila perawat tersebut berusia ≥ 30 tahun (p 0,014; OR 14,133; 95% CI 2,081-95,947) dan memiliki masa kerja ≥ 5 tahun (p 0,008; OR 25,667; 95% CI 2,253-292,462). Promosi mengenai aspek legal dan etik, serta landasan hukum perlindungan terhadap bystander CPR menjadi penting untuk dapat meningkatkan keinginan perawat dan jumlah bystander CPR. ABSTRACTCardiac arrest can occur anywhere in the hospital or outside the hospital, which is called Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA). An effort to increase the survival rate of cardiac arrest is the provision of quality Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Factors that influence a person's willingness to become a bystander CPR are not only related to the knowledge and techniques of conducting CPR but are also influenced by social factors, willingness, psychological readiness, and other factors such as ethical and legal aspects. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of perceptions of legal protection and ethical issues on the nurses' willingness to provide CPR in the OHCA incident. This study used a cross-sectional design using a questionnaire developed by researchers, conducted at Emergency Department Budhi Asih Regional Hospital in East Jakarta, and used a total sampling method involving 30 ED nurses. Fisher's Exact and Cochran-Mantel Haenszel tests were used to analyze the data. The study findings show that the majority of respondents (56.7%) have a negative perception of the legal protection of bystander CPR in OHCA. However, nurses have a positive perception when answering questions related to the ethical issue of CPR in victims of children, women, and the elderly. 43.33% (13 nurses) have a positive willingness to perform CPR on OHCA, while 56.67% (17 nurses) have a negative willingness as a bystander CPR. The results of the Cochran-Mantel Haenszel test show that perceptions of legal protection may influence nurses' willingness to provide CPPR to OHCA patient, and it will increase the likelihood of giving CPR if the nurse age is ≥ 30 years old (p 0.014; OR 14,133; 95% CI 2,081-95,947) and has been working for ≥ 5 years (p 0.008; OR 25,667; 95% CI 2,253-292,462). Promotion of the legal aspects, ethical issues, and protection to bystander CPR are essential to increase the willingness of nurses and the number of bystander CPR.

BackgroundSeveral Chinese cities have implemented dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR), although out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rates remain low. We aimed to assess the process compliance, barriers and outcomes of OHCA in one of the earliest implemented (DA-CPR) programmes in China.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed OHCA emergency dispatch records of Suzhou emergency medical service from 2014 to 2015 and included adult OHCA victims (>18 years) with a bystander-witnessed atraumatic OHCA that was subsequently confirmed by on-site emergency physician. The circumstances and DA-CPR process related to the OHCA event were analysed. Dispatch audio records were reviewed to identify potential barriers to implementation during the DA-CPR process.ResultsOf the 151 OHCA victims, none survived. The median time from patient collapse to call for emergency services and that from call to provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructions was 30 (IQR 20–60) min and 115 (IQR 90–153) s, respectively. Only 110 (80.3%) bystanders/rescuers followed the dispatcher instructions; of these, 51 (46.3%) undertook persistent chest compressions. Major barriers to following the DA-CPR instructions were present in 104 (68.9%) cases, including caller disconnection of the call, distraught mood or refusal to carry out either compressions or ventilations.ConclusionsThe OHCA survival rate and the DA-CPR process were far from optimal. The zero survival rate is disproportionally low compared with survival statistics in high-income countries. The prolonged delay in calling the emergency services negated and rendered futile any DA-CPR efforts. Thus, efforts targeted at developing public awareness of OHCA, calling for help and competency in DA-CPR should be increased.

Our group has developed a rat model of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, the current rat model uses healthy adult animals. In an effort to more closely reproduce the event of cardiac arrest and CPR in humans with chronic coronary disease, a rat model of coronary artery constriction was investigated during cardiac arrest and CPR. Left coronary artery constriction was induced surgically in anesthetized, mechanically ventilated Sprague-Dawley rats. Echocardiography was used to measure global cardiac performance before surgery and 4 wk postsurgery. Coronary constriction provoked significant decreases in ejection fraction, increases in left ventricular end-diastolic volume, and increases left ventricular end-systolic volume at 4 wk postintervention, just before induction of ventricular fibrillation (VF). After 6 min of untreated VF, CPR was initiated on three groups: 1) coronary artery constriction group, 2) sham-operated group, and 3) control group (without preceding surgery). Defibrillation was attempted after 6 min of CPR. All the animals were resuscitated. Postresuscitation myocardial function as measured by rate of left ventricular pressure increase at 40 mmHg and the rate of left ventricular pressure decline was more significantly impaired and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was greater in the coronary artery constriction group compared with the sham-operated group and the control group. There were no differences in the total shock energy required for successful resuscitation and duration of survival among the groups. In summary, this rat model of chronic myocardial ischemia was associated with ventricular remodeling and left ventricular myocardial dysfunction 4 wk postintervention and subsequently with severe postresuscitation myocardial dysfunction. This model would suggest further clinically relevant investigation on cardiac arrest and CPR.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of naringin on myocardial deformation and oxidative responses in rats with sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD). Methods Global and segmental layer-specific longitudinal strain (LS) was assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography. Serum levels of creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde were measured. The activity of cleaved caspase-3 was determined by immunohistochemistry. Protein expression levels of Kelch-like ECH-related protein 1 (Keap1), nuclear erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were measured by western blotting. Results Naringin inhibited the lipopolysaccharide-induced decrease in global and layer-specific LS of the left ventricle. Naringin also increased superoxide dismutase expression and decreased malondialdehyde, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and cleaved caspase-3 expression in rats with SIMD. Furthermore, naringin increased Nrf2 and HO-1 protein expression levels, and decreased Keap1 protein expression levels in rats with SIMD. Conclusion Layer-specific LS analysis of myocardial function by speckle tracking echocardiography can reflect early changes in myocardial systolic function. Naringin may possess a protective effect through moderating lipopolysaccharide-induced myocardial oxidative stress via the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in rats with SIMD.

Introduction: Post-cardiac arrest survivals remain low despite the effort of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can provide immediate cardiovascular support and potentially improve outcomes of patients with cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There is renewed interest in the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation due to improved outcomes over the years. Methods: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation data between 2010 and 2018 were reviewed. Patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation placed under cardiopulmonary resuscitation were identified, and demographics, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation survival, survival to discharge, and neurological recovery were retrospectively analyzed with institutional review board approval. Results: Among 230 cases of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, 34 (21 males and 13 females, age of 49 ± 13 years) underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The mean duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 8.3 ± 7.9 days. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation mortality among extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients was 32% (11/34) and hospital survival was 38% (13/34), which are similar to standard cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation survival 62% and hospital survival 39% in cardiac extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). Among the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation death after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the majority was due to neurological injury (73%, 8/11); 8/34 extracorporeal membrane oxygenation survival rate and 30-day survival rate were 63% and 25% in early half of study (2010-2014) and have improved to 70% and 60% in late half of study (2014-2018). Conclusion: Over years of experience with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, the outcome of the extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been improving and appears to exceed those of traditional methods, despite limited sample size. Neurological complications still need to be addressed in order for survival and outcomes to improve.

Abstract The unique features of post–cardiac arrest pathophysiology are often superimposed on the disease or injury, causing the cardiac arrest, as well as underlying comorbidities. Exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) was reported to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). This study aimed to assess the effects of CO releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2) on intestinal mucosal barrier function after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in rats. For this purpose, we established a rat model of asphyxiation-induced cardiac arrest and resuscitation to study intestinal IRI, and measured the serum level of intestinal fatty-acid binding protein (I-FABP). The expression levels of claudin-3, occludin, ZO-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65 were detected by Western blotting. CORM-2 up-regulated the expression levels of tight junction proteins (claudin-3, occludin, and ZO-1) in intestinal mucosa, leading to the reduction of the permeability of intestinal mucosa and reduced the release of proinflammatory cytokines. Besides, the CORM-2 exhibited anti-inflammatory effects by regulating the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway. In conclusion, CORM-2 treatment is clinically significant, preventing intestinal mucosal damage as a result of IRI during CPR.
