Impact of Blood Pressure Targets in Patients With Heart Failure Undergoing Postresuscitation Care: A Subgroup Analysis From a Randomized Controlled Trial. Circ Heart Fail 2024; 17:e011437. [PMID: 38847097 DOI: 10.1161/circheartfailure.123.011437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the effect of targeting higher or lower blood pressure during postresucitation intensive care among comatose patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with a history of heart failure. METHODS The BOX trial (Blood Pressure and Oxygenation Targets After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest) was a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, multicenter study comparing titration of vasopressors toward a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 63 versus 77 mm Hg during postresuscitation intensive care. Patients with a history of heart failure were included in this substudy. Pulmonary artery catheters were inserted shortly after admission. History of heart failure was assessed through chart review of all included patients. The primary outcome was cardiac index during the first 72 hours. Secondary outcomes were left ventricular ejection fraction, heart rate, stroke volume, renal replacement therapy and all-cause mortality at 365 days. RESULTS A total of 134 patients (17% of the BOX cohort) had a history of heart failure (patients with left ventricular ejection fraction, ≤40%: 103 [77%]) of which 71 (53%) were allocated to a MAP of 77 mm Hg. Cardiac index at intensive care unit arrival was 1.77±0.11 L/min·m-2 in the MAP63-group and 1.78±0.17 L/min·m-2 in the MAP77, P=0.92. During the next 72 hours, the mean difference was 0.15 (95% CI, -0.04 to 0.35) L/min·m-2; Pgroup=0.22. Left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume was similar between the groups. Patients allocated to MAP77 had significantly elevated heart rate (mean difference 6 [1-12] beats/min, Pgroup=0.03). Vasopressor usage was also significantly increased (P=0.006). At 365 days, 69 (51%) of the patients had died. The adjusted hazard ratio for 365 day mortality was 1.38 (0.84-2.27), P=0.20 and adjusted odds ratio for renal replacement therapy was 2.73 (0.84-8.89; P=0.09). CONCLUSIONS In resuscitated patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with a history of heart failure, allocation to a higher blood pressure target resulted in significantly increased heart rate in the higher blood pressure-target group. However, no certain differences was found for cardiac index, left ventricular ejection fraction or stroke volume. REGISTRATION URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03141099.

Acute kidney injury after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Crit Care 2024; 28:169. [PMID: 38762578 PMCID: PMC11102609 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04936-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant risk factor associated with reduced survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Whether the severity of AKI simply serves as a surrogate measure of worse peri-arrest conditions, or represents an additional risk to long-term survival remains unclear. METHODS This is a sub-study derived from a randomized trial in which 789 comatose adult OHCA patients with presumed cardiac cause and sustained return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) were enrolled. Patients without prior dialysis dependent kidney disease and surviving at least 48 h were included (N = 759). AKI was defined by the kidney disease: improving global outcome (KDIGO) classification, and patients were divided into groups based on the development of AKI and the need for continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), thus establishing three groups of patients-No AKI, AKI no CKRT, and AKI CKRT. Primary outcome was overall survival within 365 days after OHCA according to AKI group. Adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess overall survival within 365 days according to the three groups. RESULTS In the whole population, median age was 64 (54-73) years, 80% male, 90% of patients presented with shockable rhythm, and time to ROSC was median 18 (12-26) min. A total of 254 (33.5%) patients developed AKI according to the KDIGO definition, with 77 requiring CKRT and 177 without need for CKRT. AKI CKRT patients had longer time-to-ROSC and worse metabolic derangement at hospital admission. Overall survival within 365 days from OHCA decreased with the severity of kidney injury. Adjusted Cox regression analysis found that AKI, both with and without CKRT, was significantly associated with reduced overall survival up until 365 days, with comparable hazard ratios relative to no AKI (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.13-2.70 vs. HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.30-2.39). CONCLUSIONS In comatose patients who had been resuscitated after OHCA, patients developing AKI, with or without initiation of CKRT, had a worse 1-year overall survival compared to non-AKI patients. This association remains statistically significant after adjusting for other peri-arrest risk factors. TRIAL REGISTRATION The BOX trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03141099.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a common and serious complication to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The importance of post-resuscitation care targets for blood pressure and oxygenation for the development of AKI is unknown. METHODS This is a substudy of a randomized 2-by-2 factorial trial, in which 789 comatose adult patients who had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with presumed cardiac cause and sustained return of spontaneous circulation were randomly assigned to a target mean arterial blood pressure of either 63 or 77 mm Hg. Patients were simultaneously randomly assigned to either a restrictive oxygen target of a partial pressure of arterial oxygen (Pao2) of 9 to 10 kPa or a liberal oxygenation target of a Pao2 of 13 to 14 kPa. The primary outcome for this study was AKI according to KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) classification in patients surviving at least 48 hours (N=759). Adjusted logistic regression was performed for patients allocated to high blood pressure and liberal oxygen target as reference. RESULTS The main population characteristics at admission were: age, 64 (54-73) years; 80% male; 90% shockable rhythm; and time to return of spontaneous circulation, 18 (12-26) minutes. Patients allocated to a low blood pressure and liberal oxygen target had an increased risk of developing AKI compared with patients with high blood pressure and liberal oxygen target (84/193 [44%] versus 56/187 [30%]; adjusted odds ratio, 1.87 [95% CI, 1.21-2.89]). Multinomial logistic regression revealed that the increased risk of AKI was only related to mild-stage AKI (KDIGO stage 1). There was no difference in risk of AKI in the other groups. Plasma creatinine remained high during hospitalization in the low blood pressure and liberal oxygen target group but did not differ between groups at 6- and 12-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In comatose patients who had been resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, patients allocated to a combination of a low mean arterial blood pressure and a liberal oxygen target had a significantly increased risk of mild-stage AKI. No difference was found in terms of more severe AKI stages or other kidney-related adverse outcomes, and creatinine had normalized at 1 year after discharge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Identifying patients at high risk for cardiac arrest-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) helps in early preventive interventions. This study aimed to establish and validate a high-risk nomogram for CA-AKI. METHODS In this retrospective dataset, 339 patients after cardiac arrest (CA) were enrolled and randomized into a training or testing dataset. The Student's t-test, non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test was used to compare differences between the two groups. Optimal predictors of CA-AKI were determined using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO). A nomogram was developed to predict the early onset of CA-AKI. The performance of the nomogram was assessed using metrics such as area under the curve (AUC), calibration curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC). RESULTS In total, 150 patients (44.2%) were diagnosed with CA-AKI. Four independent risk predictors were identified and integrated into the nomogram: chronic kidney disease, albumin level, shock, and heart rate. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses showed that the nomogram had a good discrimination performance for CA-AKI in the training dataset 0.774 (95%CI, 0.715-0.833) and testing dataset 0.763 (95%CI, 0.670-0.856). The AUC values for the two groups were calculated and compared using the Hanley-McNeil test. No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups. The calibration curve demonstrated good agreement between the predicted outcome and actual observations. Good clinical usefulness was identified using DCA and CIC. CONCLUSION An easy-to-use nomogram for predicting CA-AKI was established and validated, and the prediction efficiency of the clinical model has reasonable clinical practicability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to study the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated according to low-normal or high-normal mean arterial pressure (MAP) targets. METHODS A post hoc analysis of the COMACARE (NCT02698917) and Neuroprotect (NCT02541591) trials that randomized patients to lower or higher targets for the first 36 h of intensive care. Kidney function was defined using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) classification. We used Cox regression analysis to identify factors associated with AKI after OHCA. RESULTS A total of 227 patients were included: 115 in the high-normal MAP group and 112 in the low-normal MAP group. Eighty-six (38%) patients developed AKI during the first five days; 40 in the high-normal MAP group and 46 in the low-normal MAP group (p = 0.51). The median creatinine and daily urine output were 85 μmol/l and 1730 mL/day in the high-normal MAP group and 87 μmol/l and 1560 mL/day in the low-normal MAP group. In a Cox regression model, independent AKI predictors were no bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (p < 0.01), non-shockable rhythm (p < 0.01), chronic hypertension (p = 0.03), and time to the return of spontaneous circulation (p < 0.01), whereas MAP target was not an independent predictor (p = 0.29). CONCLUSION Any AKI occurred in four out of ten OHCA patients. We found no difference in the incidence of AKI between the patients treated with lower and those treated with higher MAP after CA. Higher age, non-shockable initial rhythm, and longer time to ROSC were associated with shorter time to AKI. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION COMACARE (NCT02698917), NEUROPROTECT (NCT02541591).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been reported to improve outcomes in in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients but little has been investigated into the relationship between prognoses and the blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (BCR). METHODS A retrospective analysis of data from IHCA survivors treated with TTM between 2011 and 2018 was conducted based on the Research Patient Database Registry of the Partners HealthCare system in Boston. Serum laboratory data were measured during IHCA and within 24 hours after TTM completion. Intra-arrest and post-TTM BCRs were calculated, respectively. The primary outcome was neurologic status at discharge. The secondary outcome was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS The study included 84 patients; 63 (75%) were discharged with a poor neurologic status and 40 (47.6%) died. Regarding poor neurological outcome at discharge, multivariate analysis revealed that post-TTM BCR was a significant predictor (adjusted OR, 1.081; 95% CI, 1.002-1.165; p = 0.043) and intra-arrest BCR was a marginal predictor (adjusted OR, 1.067; 95% CI, 1.000-1.138; p = 0.050). Post-TTM BCR had an acceptably predictive ability to discriminate neurological status at discharge, with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.644 (95% CI, 0.516-0.773) and a post-TTM BCR cutoff value of 16.7 had a sensitivity of 61.9% and a specificity of 70.0%. CONCLUSION Post-TTM BCR was a significant predictor of the neurologic outcome at discharge among IHCA patients receiving TTM. IHCA patients with elevated intra-arrest BCR also had a borderline poor neurological prognosis at discharge.

Hemodynamic evaluation by serial right heart catheterizations after cardiac arrest; protocol of a sub-study from the Blood Pressure and Oxygenation Targets after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest-trial (BOX).

Abstract
Background Neurological injury and mortality remain high in comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Hypotension and hypoxia during post-resuscitation care have been associated with poor outcome, but the optimal oxygenation- and blood pressure-targets are unknown. The impact of different doses of norepinephrine on advanced hemodynamic after OHCA and the impact of different oxygenation-targets on pulmonary circulation and resistance (PVR), are unknown. The aims of this substudy of the "Blood pressure and oxygenations targets after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (BOX)"-trial are to investigate the effect of two different MAP- and oxygenation-targets on advanced systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics measured by pulmonary artery catheters (PAC). Methods The BOX-trial is an investigator-initiated, randomized, controlled study comparing targeted MAP of 63 mmHg vs 77 mmHg (double-blinded intervention) and 9-10 kPa versus PaO2 of 13-14 kPa oxygenation-targets (open-label). Per protocol, all patients will be monitored systematically with PACs. The primary endpoint of the hemodynamic-substudy is cardiac output for the MAP-intervention, and PVR for the oxygenation-intervention. For both endpoints, the difference within 48 h between groups are assessed. Secondary endpoints are pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and pulmonary arterial pressure and association between advanced hemodynamic variables and mortality and biomarkers of inflammation and brain injury. Discussion In the BOX-trial, patients will be randomly allocated to two levels of MAP and oxygenation, which are central parts of post-resuscitation care and where evidence is sparse. The advanced-hemodynamic substudy will give valuable knowledge of the hemodynamic consequences of changing blood pressure and oxygen-levels of the critical cardiac patient. It will be one of the largest clinical, prospective trials of advanced hemodynamics measured by serial PACs in consecutive comatose patients, resuscitated after OHCA. The randomized and placebo-controlled trialdesign of the MAP-intervention minimizes risk of selection bias and confounders. Furthermore, hemodynamic characteristics and associations with outcome will be investigated. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03141099).

Abstract
Measuring cardiac output is used to guide treatment during postresuscitation care. The aim of this study was to compare Doppler echocardiography (Doppler-CO) with thermodilution using pulmonary artery catheters (PAC-CO) for cardiac output estimation in a large cohort of comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients undergoing targeted temperature management (TTM). Single-center substudy of 141 patients included in the TTM trial randomly assigned to 33 or 36°C for 24 hours after OHCA. Per protocol, PAC-CO and Doppler-CO were measured simultaneously shortly after admission and again at 24 and 48 hours. Linear correlation was assessed between methods and positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of Doppler to estimate low cardiac output (<3.5 L/min) was calculated. A total of 301 paired cardiac output measurements were available. Average cardiac output was 5.28 ± 1.94 L/min measured by thermodilution and 4.06 ± 1.49 L/min measured by Doppler with a mean bias of 1.22 L/min (limits of agreements -1.92 to 4.36 L/min). Correlation between methods was moderate (R2 = 0.36). Using PAC-CO as the gold standard, PPV of a low cardiac output measurement (<3.5 L/min) by Doppler was 33%. However, the NPV was 92%. Hypothermia at 33°C did not negatively affect the correlations of CO methods. In the lowest quartile of Doppler, 13% had elevated lactate (>2 mmol/L). In the lowest quartile of thermodilution, 36% had elevated lactate (>2 mmol/L). In ventilated OHCA patients, the two methods for estimating cardiac output correlated moderately and there was a consistent underestimation of Doppler-CO. Absolute cardiac output values from Doppler-CO should be interpreted with caution. However, Doppler can be used to exclude low cardiac output with high accuracy. TTM at 33°C did not negatively affect the correlation or bias of cardiac output measurements. ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01020916.

Abstract
Postcardiac arrest myocardial dysfunction (PCAMD) is a frequent complication faced during post-resuscitation care that adversely impacts survival and neurological outcome. Both mechanical and electrical factors contribute to the occurrence of PCAMD. Prearrest ventricular function, the cause of cardiac arrest, global ischemia, resuscitation factors, ischemia/reperfusion injury and post-resuscitation treatments contribute to the severity of PCMAD. The pathophysiology of PCAMD is complex and include myocytes energy failure, impaired contractility, cardiac edema, mitochondrial damage, activation of inflammatory pathways and the coagulation cascade, persistent ischemic injury and myocardial stiffness. Hypotension and low cardiac output with vasopressor/inotropes need are frequent after resuscitation. However, clinical, hemodynamic and laboratory signs of shock are frequently altered by cardiac arrest pathophysiology and post-resuscitation treatment, potentially being misleading and not fully reflecting the severity of postcardiac arrest syndrome. Even if validated criteria are lacking, an extensive hemodynamic evaluation is useful to define a "benign" and a "malign" form of myocardial dysfunction and circulatory shock, potentially having treatment and prognostic implications. Cardiac output is frequently decreased after cardiac arrest, particularly in patients treated with target temperature management (TTM); however, it is not independently associated with outcome. Sinus bradycardia during TTM seems independently associated with survival and good neurological outcome, representing a promising prognostic indicator. Higher mean arterial pressure (MAP) seems to be associated with improved survival and cerebral function after cardiac arrest; however, two recent randomized clinical trials failed to replicate these results. Recommendations on hemodynamic optimization are relatively poor and are largely based on general principle of intensive care medicine.

Abstract
Targeted temperature management (TTM) exerts substantial impact on hemodynamic function in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. Whole-body oxygen consumption (VO2) and delivery (DO2) have not previously been investigated in a clinical setting during TTM at different levels of temperature after OHCA. A substudy of 151 patients randomized at a single center in the TTM-trial, where patients were randomly assigned TTM at 33°C (TTM33) or 36°C (TTM36) for 24 hours. We calculated VO2 according to the principle of Fick (VO2 = cardiac output*arteriovenous oxygen content difference). DO2 was calculated as cardiac output*arterial oxygen content. Cardiac output was measured by pulmonary artery catheter with thermodilution. Arteriovenous oxygen content difference was calculated from arterial and mixed venous oxygen saturation and hemoglobin. Oxygen extraction ratio = VO2/DO2. At 24 hours, the VO2 was 169 ± 59 mL O2 per minute in TTM33 and 217 ± 53 mL O2 per minute in TTM36 (p < 0.0001). During 24 hours of TTM, the overall difference was 53 mL O2 minute (95% confidence interval [CI]: 31-74, pgroup < 0.0001). After rewarming at 36 and 48 hours, there was no difference in VO2 between the groups. DO2 was overall 277 mL O2 per minute (95% CI: 175-379, pgroup < 0.0001) higher in the TTM36-group during TTM. Oxygen extraction ratio during TTM was not significantly different between the two groups (2% [95% CI: -0.1 to 5, pgroup = 0.09]). VO2 during the first 36 hours after OHCA correlated significantly with temperature, and VO2 was 19 mL O2 per minute lower per degree reduction in temperature (95% CI: 15-22), p < 0.0001. TTM at 33°C compared to 36°C after OHCA is associated with significantly lower VO2 and DO2, however, oxygen extraction ratio was not significantly different. For each degree lower body temperature, the VO2 fell by 19 mL O2 per minute.
