Abstract
Background Recently, the American Heart Association released a statement calling for research examining the appropriate age to transition from the neonatal to pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation approach to resuscitation. Aim To compare neonatal and pediatric resuscitation approach by using either continuous chest compression with asynchronized ventilation (CCaV) or continuous chest compression superimposed with sustained inflation (CC + SI) during infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We hypothesized that CC + SI compared to CCaV would reduce time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in infantile piglets with asphyxia-induced bradycardic cardiac arrest. Methods Twenty infantile piglets (5-10 days old) were anesthetized and asphyxiated by clamping the endotracheal tube. Piglets were randomized to CC + SI or CCaV for resuscitation (n = 10/group). Heart rate, arterial blood pressure, carotid blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, intrathoracic pressure and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded throughout the experiment. Main results The median (IQR) time to ROSC with CC + SI compared to CCaV was 179 (104-447) vs 660 (189-660), p = 0.05. The number of piglets achieving ROSC with CC + SI and CCaV were 8/10 and 6/10, p = 0.628. Piglets resuscitated with CC + SI required less epinephrine compared to CCaV (p = 0.039). CC + SI increased the intrathoracic pressure throughout resuscitation (p = 0.025) and increased minute ventilation (p < 0.001), compared to CCaV. There was no difference in hemodynamic parameters between groups. Conclusions CC + SI improves resuscitative efforts of infantile piglets by increasing the intrathoracic pressure and minute ventilation, and thus reducing the duration of resuscitation, compared to CCaV.

Pediatr Res 2024; 95:1265-1272. [PMID: 37940664 PMCID: PMC11035119 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-023-02858-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend epinephrine for cardiac arrest. Vasopressin might be an alternative during asphyxial cardiac arrest. We aimed to compare vasopressin and epinephrine on incidence and time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in asphyxiated newborn piglets. DESIGN/METHODS Newborn piglets (n = 8/group) were anesthetized, intubated, instrumented, and exposed to 30 min of normocapnic hypoxia, followed by asphyxia and asystolic cardiac arrest. Piglets were randomized to 0.2, 0.4, or 0.8IU/kg vasopressin, or 0.02 mg/kg epinephrine. Hemodynamic parameters were continuously measured. RESULTS Median (IQR) time to ROSC was 172(103-418)s, 157(100-413)s, 122(93-289)s, and 276(117-480)s for 0.2, 0.4, 0.8IU/kg vasopressin, and 0.02 mg/kg epinephrine groups, respectively (p = 0.59). The number of piglets that achieved ROSC was 6(75%), 6(75%), 7(88%), and 5(63%) for 0.2, 0.4, 0.8IU/kg vasopressin, and 0.02 mg/kg epinephrine, respectively (p = 0.94). The epinephrine group had a 60% (3/5) rate of post-ROSC survival compared to 83% (5/6), 83% (5/6), and 57% (4/7) in the 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8IU/kg vasopressin groups, respectively (p = 0.61). CONCLUSION Time to and incidence of ROSC were not different between all vasopressin dosages and epinephrine. However, non-significantly lower time to ROSC and higher post-ROSC survival in vasopressin groups warrant further investigation. IMPACT Time to and incidence of ROSC were not statistically different between all vasopressin dosages and epinephrine. Non-significantly lower time to ROSC and higher post-ROSC survival in vasopressin-treated piglets. Overall poorer hemodynamic recovery following ROSC in epinephrine piglets compared to vasopressin groups. Human neonatal clinical trials examining the efficacy of vasopressin during asphyxial cardiac arrest will begin recruitment soon.

Abstract
Neonates requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are at risk of mortality and neurodevelopmental injury. Poor outcomes following the need for chest compressions (CCs) in the delivery room prompt the critical need for improvements in resuscitation strategies. This article explores a technique of CPR which involves CCs with sustained inflation (CC+SI). Unique features of CC+SI include (1) improved tidal volume delivery, (2) passive ventilation during compressions, (3) uninterrupted compressions and (4) improved stability of cerebral blood flow during resuscitation. CC+SI has been shown in animal studies to have improved time to return of spontaneous circulation and reduced mortality without significant increase in markers of inflammation and injury in the lung and brain, compared with standard CPR. The mechanics of CCs, rate of compressions, ventilation strategies and compression-to-ventilation ratios are detailed here. A large randomised controlled trial comparing CC+SI versus the current 3:1 compression-to-ventilation ratio is needed, given the growing evidence of its potential benefits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In newborn infants requiring chest compression (CC) in the delivery room (DR) does continuous CC superimposed by a sustained inflation (CC+SI) compared with a 3:1 compression:ventilation (3:1 C:V) ratio decreases time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). DESIGN International, multicenter, prospective, cluster cross-over randomised trial. SETTING DR in four hospitals in Canada and Austria, PARTICIPANTS: Newborn infants >28 weeks' gestation who required CC. INTERVENTIONS Hospitals were randomised to CC+SI or 3:1 C:V then crossed over to the other intervention. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The primary outcome was time to ROSC, defined as the duration of CC until an increase in heart rate >60/min determined by auscultation of the heart, which was maintained for 60 s. Sample size of 218 infants (109/group) was sufficient to detect a clinically important 33% reduction (282 vs 420 s of CC) in time to ROSC. Analysis was intention-to-treat. RESULTS Patient recruitment occurred between 19 October 2017 and 22 September 2022 and randomised 27 infants (CC+SI (n=12), 3:1 C:V (n=15), two (one per group) declined consent). All 11 infants in the CC+SI group and 12/14 infants in the 3:1 C:V group achieved ROSC in the DR. The median (IQR) time to ROSC was 90 (60-270) s and 615 (174-780) s (p=0.0502 (log rank), p=0.16 (cox proportional hazards regression)) with CC+SI and 3:1 C:V, respectively. Mortality was 2/11 (18.2%) with CC+SI versus 8/14 (57.1%) with 3:1 C:V (p=0.10 (Fisher's exact test), OR (95% CI) 0.17; (0.03 to 1.07)). The trial was stopped due to issues with ethics approval and securing trial insurance as well as funding reasons. CONCLUSION The time to ROSC and mortality was not statistical different between CC+SI and 3:1 C:V. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02858583.

Abstract
AIM The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation Neonatal Life Support Task Force undertook a scoping review of the literature to identify evidence relating to neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODS MEDLINE complete, EMBASE and Cochrane database of Systematic reviews were searched from inception to November 2021. Two authors screened titles and abstracts and full text reviewed. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were peer-reviewed and assessed one of five aspects of chest compression in the newborn infant including: (1) heart rate thresholds to start chest compressions (CC), (2) compression to ventilation ratio (C:V ratio), (3) CC technique, (4) oxygen use during CC and 5) feedback devices to optimise CC. RESULTS Seventy-four studies were included (n=46 simulation, n=24 animal and n=4 clinical studies); 22/74 were related to compression to ventilation ratios, 29/74 examined optimal technique to perform CC, 7/74 examined oxygen delivery and 15/74 described feedback devices during neonatal CC. CONCLUSION There were very few clinical studies and mostly manikin and animal studies. The findings either reinforced or were insufficient to change previous recommendations which included to start CC if heart rate remains <60/min despite adequate ventilation, using a 3:1 C:V ratio, the two-thumb encircling technique and 100% oxygen during CC.

Abstract
Background To compare chest compression (CC) rates of 60/min with 90/min and their effect on the time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival, hemodynamic, and respiratory parameters. We hypothesized that asphyxiated newborn piglets that received CC at 60/min vs. 90/min during cardiopulmonary resuscitation would have a shorter time to ROSC. Methods Newborn piglets (n = 7/group) were anesthetized, tracheotomized and intubated, instrumented and exposed to 45 min normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia and cardiac arrest. Piglets were randomly allocated to a CC rate of 60/min or 90/min. CC was performed using an automated CC machine using CC superimposed with sustained inflation. Hemodynamic parameters, respiratory parameters, and applied compression force were continuously measured. Results The mean (IQR) time to ROSC was 97 (65-149) s and 136 (88-395) s for CC rates of 60/min and 90/min, respectively (p = 0.31). The number of piglets that achieved ROSC was 5 (71%) and 5 (71%) with 60/min and 90/min CC rates, respectively (p = 1.00). Hemodynamic parameters (i.e., diastolic and mean blood pressure, carotid blood flow, stroke volume, end-diastolic volume, left ventricular contractile function) and respiratory parameters (i.e., minute ventilation, peak inflation and peak expiration flow) were all similar with a CC rate of 60/min compared to 90/min. Conclusion Time to ROSC, hemodynamic, and respiratory parameters were not significantly different between CC rates of 60/min vs. 90/min. Different CC rates during neonatal resuscitation warrant further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compression to ventilation strategy remains controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the outcomes between continuous chest compressions CPR with asynchronous ventilation (CCC-CPR) and interrupted chest compressions CPR with synchronous ventilation (ICC-CPR) in cardiac arrest. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, MEDLINE (Ovid/LWW) and the Cochrane Libraries were searched up from inception to July 31, 2022. Human and animal studies comparing CCC-CPR versus ICC-CPR were included. Outcome variables were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), time to ROSC, survival to discharge, 1-month survival, survival at 4 h, good neurological function, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and other clinical parameters. Jadad Scale and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale were used to assess the study quality and risk of bias. RESULTS The systematic search identified eight studies on humans and twelve studies on animal trials. There were no significant differences in ROSC (odd ratios [OR] 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.86-1.32; P = 0.55), survival to hospital discharge (OR 1.04; 95%CI 0.77-1.42; P = 0.79), 1-month survival (OR 1.07; 95%CI 0.84-1.36; P = 0.57), and good neurological outcome (OR 0.92; 95%CI 0.84-1.01, P = 0.09) between CCC-CPR and ICC-CPR in human studies. In animal trials, CCC-CPR had significantly higher rate of ROSC (OR = 1.81; 95% CI: 0.94-3.49; P = 0.07), survival at 4 h (OR 2.57; 95% CI: 1.16-5.72; P = 0.02) and MAP (mean difference [MD] 0.79, 95% CI: 0.04-1.53; P = 0.04), even though no significant differences in ROSC time, arterial potential of hydrogen (pH) and partial tension of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). CONCLUSION CCC-CPR did not show superiority in human outcomes compared with ICC-CPR, but its effect value was significantly increased in animal experiments. We should take the positive outcomes from animals and apply them to human models, and more physiological mechanisms need to be confirmed in CPR patients with different compression-ventilation strategies to improve the prognosis of cardiac arrest.

Epinephrine vs placebo in neonatal resuscitation: ROSC and brain MRS/MRI in term piglets. Pediatr Res 2023; 93:511-519. [PMID: 35681089 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-022-02126-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2021] [Revised: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the effect of epinephrine vs placebo on return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging (MRS/MRI) in newborn piglets with hypoxic cardiac arrest (CA). METHODS Twenty-five piglets underwent hypoxia induced by endotracheal tube clamping until CA. The animals were randomized to CPR + intravenous epinephrine or CPR + placebo (normal saline). The primary outcome was ROSC, and secondary outcomes included time-to-ROSC, brain MRS/MRI, and composite endpoint of death or severe brain MRS/MRI abnormality. RESULTS ROSC was more frequent in animals treated with epinephrine than placebo; 10/13 vs 4/12, RR = 2.31 (95% CI: 1.09-5.77). We found no difference in time-to-ROSC (120 (113-211) vs 153 (116-503) seconds, p = 0.7) or 6-h survival (7/13 vs 3/12, p = 0.2). Among survivors, there was no difference between groups in brain MRS/MRI. We found no difference in the composite endpoint of death or severe brain MRS/MRI abnormality; RR = 0.7 (95% CI: 0.37-1.19). CONCLUSIONS Resuscitation with epinephrine compared to placebo improved ROSC frequency after hypoxic CA in newborn piglets. We found no difference in time-to-ROSC or the composite endpoint of death or severe brain MRS/MRI abnormality. IMPACT In a newborn piglet model of hypoxic cardiac arrest, resuscitation with epinephrine compared to placebo improved the rate of return of spontaneous circulation and more than doubled the 6-h survival. Brain MRS/MRI biomarkers were used to evaluate the effect of epinephrine vs placebo. We found no difference between groups in the composite endpoint of death or severe brain MRS/MRI abnormality. This study adds to the limited evidence regarding the effect and safety of epinephrine; the lack of high-quality evidence from randomized clinical trials was highlighted in the latest ILCOR 2020 guidelines, and newborn animal studies were specifically requested.

Abstract
Prolonged resuscitation in neonates, although quite rare, may occur in response to profound intractable bradycardia as a result of asphyxia. In these instances, chest compressions and medications may be necessary to facilitate return of spontaneous circulation. While performing chest compressions, the two thumb method is preferred over the two finger technique, although several newer approaches are under investigation. While the ideal compression to ventilation ratio is still uncertain, a 3:1 ratio remains the recommendation by the Neonatal Resuscitation Program. Use of feedback mechanisms to optimize neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) show promise and are currently under investigation. While performing optimal cardiac compressions to pump blood, use of medications to restore spontaneous circulation will likely be necessary. Current recommendations are that epinephrine, an endogenous catecholamine be used preferably intravenously or by intraosseous route, with the dose repeated every 3-5 minutes until return of spontaneous circulation. Finally, while the need for volume replacement is rare, it may be considered in instances of acute blood loss or poor response to resuscitation.

Abstract
We present a novel approach of ventilation, using high-frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV), during neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of a very preterm neonate. This case report highlights the importance of adequate lung inflation, which is a current topic, with neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommending a coordinated 3:1 compression:ventilation ratio during CPR. Our patient, a female infant born at 30 weeks gestational age, weighing 970 g, appeared floppy and apneic following birth in the amniotic sac. Lungs were unfolded and white-out in an x-ray done during resuscitation. The aim was to open lungs effectively using HFOV, instead of positive pressure ventilation, which was used unsuccessfully until the 7th minute of life. Heart rate continuously dropped below 60/min 15 min after birth and chest compressions with asynchronous HFOV were started, adrenalin was administered three times and surfactant was instilled endotracheally twice. It was possible to stabilize the patient after 15 min of CPR, following return of spontaneous circulation. HFOV may have enabled an alternative and rescue option of ventilation during neonatal CPR in this case.

Abstract
Background Severe and prolonged asphyxia can result in either intrauterine fetal death and stillbirth or multiorgan failure in surviving neonates. Establishing effective ventilation is the primary aim of resuscitation in newborns with asphyxia. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of resuscitation by applying an endotracheal tube (ETT) with less, an ETT with moderate, and an ETT with high leakage during mechanical ventilation in swine neonates after prolonged perinatal asphyxia. Materials and methods A prospective, randomized controlled laboratory study was performed. Thirty Landrace/large white pigs, aged one to four days and weighted 1.754±218 gr, were randomly allocated into three groups depending on the ETT size: Group C (less leak: ETT no 4.0, n=10); Group A (high leak: ETT no 3.0, n=10); and Group B (moderate leak: ETT no 3.5, n=10). Mechanical asphyxia was performed until their heart rate was less than 60 bpm or their mean arterial pressure was below 15 mmHg. All animals with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) were monitored for four hours for their hemodynamic parameters, arterial oxygen saturation, and lactate acid levels. Results We demonstrate that 70% of the surviving animals were ventilated with an ETT with a leak (no. 3.5 and 3). A statistically significant difference was noted in PO2 (p=0.032) between Group B (126.4±53.4 mmHg) compared to Group A (72.28±29.18 mmHg) and Group C (94.28±20.46 mmHg) as well as in the right atrial pressure (p<0.001) between Group C (4.5 mmHg) vs Groups A (2 mmHg) and B (2 mmHg) during ROSC time. Lactate levels were statistically significantly lower (p=0.035) in Group C (mean=0.92 ± 0.07mmol/L) as compared to Group A (mean=1.13 ± 0.1 mmol/L) and Group B (mean= 1.08 ± 0.07 mmol /L; p = 0.034) at 4h post-ROSC. Conclusion We provide preliminary evidence that ventilation with ETT with moderate leakage improves survival after 2h of ROSC, along with oxygenation and hemodynamic parameters, in a porcine model of neonatal asphyxia and resuscitation, compared to less leakage ETT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) recommends interrupted chest compressions (CCs) with ventilation in the severely bradycardic neonate. The conventional 3:1 compression-to-ventilation (C:V) resuscitation provides 90 CCs/min, significantly lower than the intrinsic newborn heart rate (120-160 beats/min). Continuous CC with asynchronous ventilation (CCCaV) may improve the success of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). METHODS Twenty-two near-term fetal lambs were randomized to interrupted 3:1 C:V (90 CCs + 30 breaths/min) or CCCaV (120 CCs + 30 breaths/min). Asphyxiation was induced by cord occlusion. After 5 min of asystole, resuscitation began following NRP guidelines. The first dose of epinephrine was given at 6 min. Invasive arterial blood pressure and left carotid blood flow were continuously measured. Serial arterial blood gases were collected. RESULTS Baseline characteristics between groups were similar. Rate of and time to ROSC was similar between groups. CCCaV was associated with a higher PaO2 (partial oxygen tension) (22 ± 5.3 vs. 15 ± 3.5 mmHg, p < 0.01), greater left carotid blood flow (7.5 ± 3.1 vs. 4.3 ± 2.6 mL/kg/min, p < 0.01) and oxygen delivery (0.40 ± 0.15 vs. 0.13 ± 0.07 mL O2/kg/min, p < 0.01) compared to 3:1 C:V. CONCLUSIONS In a perinatal asphyxiated cardiac arrest lamb model, CCCaV showed greater carotid blood flow and cerebral oxygen delivery compared to 3:1 C:V resuscitation. IMPACT In a perinatal asphyxiated cardiac arrest lamb model, CCCaV improved carotid blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain compared to the conventional 3:1 C:V resuscitation. Pre-clinical studies assessing neurodevelopmental outcomes and tissue injury comparing continuous uninterrupted chest compressions to the current recommended 3:1 C:V during newborn resuscitation are warranted prior to clinical trials.

Abstract
Neonatal resuscitation is a coordinated, team-based series of timed sequential steps that focuses on a transitional physiology to improve perinatal and neonatal outcomes. The practice of neonatal resuscitation has evolved over time and continues to be shaped by emerging evidence as well as key opinions. We present the revised Neonatal Resuscitation Guidelines for Singapore 2021. The recommendations from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation Neonatal Task Force Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (2020) and guidelines from the American Heart Association and European Resuscitation Council were compared with existing guidelines. The recommendations of the Neonatal Subgroup of the Singapore Resuscitation and First Aid Council were derived after the work group discussed and appraised the current available evidence and their applicability to local clinical practice.

Continuous chest compressions with asynchronous ventilation improve survival in a neonatal swine model of asphyxial cardiac arrest. Am J Emerg Med 2021; 48:60-66.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines for neonatal resuscitation recommend a 3:1 compression to ventilation ratio. However, this recommendation is based on expert opinion and consensus rather than strong scientific evidence. Our primary aim was to assess whether continuous chest compressions with asynchronous ventilations would increase return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate and survival compared to the 3:1 chest compression to ventilation ratio. METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, laboratory study. Twenty male Landrace-Large White pigs, aged 1-4 days with an average weight 1.650 ± 228.3 g were asphyxiated and left untreated until heart rate was less than 60 bpm or mean arterial pressure was below 15 mmHg. Animals were then randomly assigned to receive either continuous chest compressions with asynchronous ventilations (n = 10), or standard (3:1) chest compression to ventilation ratio (n = 10). Heart rate and arterial pressure were assessed every 30 s during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until ROSC or asystole. All animals with ROSC were monitored for 4 h. RESULTS Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) at 30 s of CPR was significantly higher in the experimental group (45.7 ± 16.9 vs. 21.8 ± 6 mmHg, p < 0.001) and remained significantly elevated throughout the experiment. End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) was also significantly higher in the experimental group throughout the experiment (23.4 ± 5.6 vs. 14.7 ± 5.9 mmHg, p < 0.001). ROSC was observed in six (60%) animals treated with 3:1 compression to ventilation ratio and nine (90%) animals treated with continuous chest compressions and asynchronous ventilation (p = 0.30). Time to ROSC was significantly lower in the experimental group (30 (30-30) vs. 60 (60-60) sec, p = 0.021). Of note, 7 (77.8%) animals in the experimental group and 1 (16.7%) animal in the control group achieved ROSC after 30 s (0.02). At 4 h, 2 (20%) animals survived in the control group compared to 7 (70%) animals in the experimental group (p = 0.022). CONCLUSION Continuous chest compressions with asynchronous ventilations significantly improved CPP, ETCO2, time to ROSC, ROSC at 30 s and survival in a porcine model of neonatal resuscitation.

Approximately 0.1% for term and 10-15% of preterm infants receive chest compression (CC) in the delivery room, with high incidence of mortality and neurologic impairment. The poor prognosis associated with receiving CC in the delivery room has raised concerns as to whether specifically-tailored cardiopulmonary resuscitation methods are needed. The current neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend a 3:1 compression:ventilation ratio; however, the most effective approach to deliver chest compression is unknown. We recently demonstrated that providing continuous chest compression superimposed with a high distending pressure or sustained inflation significantly reduced time to return of spontaneous circulation and mortality while improving respiratory and cardiovascular parameters in asphyxiated piglet and newborn infants. This review summarizes the current available evidence of continuous chest compression superimposed with a sustained inflation.

[PMID: 33643979 PMCID: PMC7907180 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2021.641132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2020] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) occurs in asphyxiated newborn piglets and infants. We aimed to examine whether different cardiac rhythms (asystole, bradycardia, PEA) affects the resuscitation outcomes during continuous chest compressions (CC) during sustained inflations (CC+SI). Design: This study is a secondary analysis of four previous randomized controlled animal trials that compared CC+SI with different CC rate (90 or 120/min), SI duration (20 or 60 s), peak inflation pressure (10, 20, or 30 cmH2O), and oxygen concentration (18, 21, or 100%). Setting and Subjects: Sixty-six newborn mixed breed piglets (1-3 days of age, weight 1.7-2.4 kg) were obtained on the day of experimentation from the University Swine Research Technology Center. Interventions: In all four studies, piglets were randomized into intervention or sham. Piglets randomized to "intervention" underwent both hypoxia and asphyxia, whereas, piglets randomized to "sham" received the same surgical protocol, stabilization, and equivalent experimental periods without hypoxia and asphyxia. Measurements: To compare differences in asphyxiation time, time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), hemodynamics, and survival rate in newborn piglets with asystole, bradycardia or PEA. Main Results: Piglets with PEA (n = 29) and asystole (n = 13) had a significantly longer asphyxiation time and time to ROSC vs. bradycardia (n = 24). Survival rates were similar between all groups. Compared to their baseline, mean arterial pressure and carotid blood flow were significantly lower 4 h after resuscitation in all groups, while being significantly higher in the bradycardia group. Conclusion: This study indicates that cardiac rhythm before resuscitation influences the time to ROSC and hemodynamic recovery after ROSC.

Abstract
Approximately 800,000 newborns die annually due to birth asphyxia. The resuscitation of asphyxiated term newly born infants often occurs unexpected and is challenging for healthcare providers as it demands experience and knowledge in neonatal resuscitation. Current neonatal resuscitation guidelines often focus on resuscitation of extremely and/or very preterm infants; however, the recommendations for asphyxiated term newborn infants differ in some aspects to those for preterm infants (i.e., respiratory support, supplemental oxygen, and temperature management). Since the update of the neonatal resuscitation guidelines in 2015, several studies examining various resuscitation approaches to improve the outcome of asphyxiated infants have been published. In this review, we discuss current recommendations and recent findings and provide an overview of delivery room management of asphyxiated term newborn infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether different chest compression (CC) rates during continuous CC with asynchronous ventilations (CCaV) reduce time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and improved haemodynamic recovery in piglets aged 24-72 hours with asphyxia-induced asystole. METHODS Thirty piglets (aged 24-72 hours) were anaesthetised, intubated, instrumented and exposed to 30 min normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia. Piglets were randomised into four groups: CCaV with CC rate of 90 (CCaV+90, n=8), 100 (CCaV+100, n=8) or 120 compressions per minute (CCaV+120, n=8), and a sham-operated group (n=6). Cardiac function, carotid blood flow, cerebral and renal oxygenation and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded. Cerebral cortical tissue was harvested and assayed for inflammatory and injury markers. RESULTS All three intervention groups had a similar number of piglets achieving ROSC (6/8, 5/8 and 5/8 for CCaV+120, CCaV+100 and CCaV+90, respectively) and mean ROSC time (120, 90 and 90 s for CCaV+120, CCaV+100 and CCaV+90, respectively). The haemodynamic recovery (indicated by carotid flow, cerebral and renal perfusion) was similar between CCaV+120 and sham by the end of experiment. In comparison, CCaV+90 and CCaV+100 had significantly reduced haemodynamic recovery compared with sham operated (p≤0.05). Inflammatory (interleukin [IL]-6 and IL-1β) and injury markers (lactate) were significantly higher in the frontoparietal cortex of CCaV+90 and CCaV+100 compared with sham, whereas brain injury markers were similar between CCaV+120 and sham. CONCLUSIONS Although there was no difference between the groups in achieving ROSC, the haemodynamic recovery of CCaV+120 was significantly improved compared with CCaV+90 and CCaV+100, which were also associated with higher cerebral inflammatory and brain injury markers.

Abstract
Background Sustained inflation (SI) during chest compression (CC = CC+SI) has been recently shown as an alternative method during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in neonates. However, the optimal peak inflation pressure (PIP) of SI during CC+SI to improve ROSC and hemodynamic recovery is unknown. Objective To examine if different PIPs of SI during CC+SI will improve ROSC and hemodynamic recovery in severely asphyxiated piglets. Methods Twenty-nine newborn piglets (1–3 days old) were anesthetized, intubated, instrumented and exposed to 30-min normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia. Piglets were randomized into four groups: CC+SI with a PIP of 10 cmH2O (CC+SI_PIP_10, n = 8), a PIP of 20 cmH2O (CC+SI_PIP_20, n = 8), a PIP of 30 cmH2O (CC+SI_PIP_30, n = 8), and a sham-operated control group (n = 5). Heart rate, arterial blood pressure, carotid blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded throughout the experiment. Results Baseline parameters were similar between all groups. There was no difference in asphyxiation (duration and degree) between intervention groups. PIP correlated positively with tidal volume (VT) and inversely with exhaled CO2 during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Time to ROSC and rate of ROSC were similar between piglets resuscitated with CC+SI_PIP_10, CC+SI_PIP_20, and CC+SI_PIP_30 cmH2O: median (IQR) 75 (63–193) sec, 94 (78–210) sec, and 85 (70–90) sec; 5/8 (63%), 7/8 (88%), and 3/8 (38%) (p = 0.56 and p = 0.12, respectively). All piglets that achieved ROSC survived to four hours post-resuscitation. Piglets resuscitated with CC+SI_PIP_30 cmH2O exhibited increased concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and tumour necrosis factor-α in the frontoparietal cerebral cortex (both p<0.05 vs. sham-operated controls). Conclusion In asphyxiated term newborn piglets resuscitated by CC+SI, the use of different PIPs resulted in similar time to ROSC, but PIP at 30 cmH2O showed a larger VT delivery, lower exhaled CO2 and increased tissue inflammatory markers in the brain.

Abstract
The main aim of this paper was to provide an overview of studies that measured cerebral blood flow (CBF), directly or indirectly, during chest compression (CC) in neonatal animals. Our main research question was: how did different ways of performing CC influence CBF. We also aimed to discuss strengths and limitations of different methods for measuring CBF. Based on a search in Medline Ovid, we identified three studies in piglets that investigated different CC:ventilation (C:V) ratios, as well as three piglet studies investigating continuous CC with asynchronous ventilation. CBF was measured indirectly in all studies by means of carotid artery (CA) flow and regional cerebral oxygenation (rcSO2). The CA provides flow to the brain, but also to extracerebral structures. The relative sizes of the internal and external carotid arteries and their flow distributions are species-dependent. rcSO2 is a non-invasive continuous measure, but does not only reflect CBF, but also cerebral blood volume and the metabolic rate of oxygen in the brain. Continuous CC with asynchronous ventilation at a CC rate of 120/min, and combining CC with a sustained inflation (four studies in piglets and one in lambs) provided a faster CBF recovery compared with the standard 3:1 C:V approach.

Abstract
Background: Male newborns have a greater risk of poor cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes compared to females. The mechanisms associated with the "male disadvantage" remains unclear. We have previously shown no difference between male and female newborn piglets during hypoxia, asphyxia, resuscitation, and post-resuscitation recovery. However, it is unknown if there are differences in resuscitation outcomes between males and females during different cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques. Intervention and Measurements: Secondary analysis of 184 term newborn mixed breed duroc piglets (1-3 days of age, weighing 2.0 (0.2) kg) from seven different studies, which were exposed to 30-50 min of normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia until asystole. This was followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation. For the analysis, piglets were divided into male and female groups, as well as resuscitation technique groups (sustained inflation, 3:1 compression-to-ventilation ratio, or asynchronous ventilations during chest compressions). Cardiac function, carotid blood flow, and cerebral oxygenation were continuously recorded throughout the experiment. Main results: Regardless of resuscitation technique, there was no significant difference between males and females in the number achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) [95/123 (77%) vs. 48/61 (79%)], the time to achieve ROSC [112 (80-185) s vs. 110 (77-186) s], and the 4-h survival rate [81/95 (85%) vs. 40/48 (83%)]. Levels of the injury markers interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α in frontoparietal cortex tissue homogenates were similar between males and females. Conclusions: Regardless of resuscitation technique, there was no significant effect of sex on resuscitation outcome, survival, and hemodynamic recovery in asphyxiated newborn piglets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In previous piglet experiments of profound asphyxia and cardiac arrest, recovery was similar when 21 and 100% oxygen were used for positive pressure ventilation (PPV). There was no consistent reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress in piglets ventilated with 21 or 100% oxygen. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate hypoxic resuscitation, i.e., PPV with 18% oxygen, in profoundly asphyxiated piglets with cardiac arrest. We hypothesized that resuscitation with 18% oxygen would result in less inflammation and oxidative stress compared to 21 or 100% oxygen. METHOD Twenty-four piglets were exposed to 30 min of normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia until asystole. The piglets were randomized to PPV with 18% oxygen (n = 8), 21% oxygen (n = 8), or 100% oxygen (n = 8), and resuscitated with chest compressions and intravenous epinephrine. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was defined as an unassisted heart rate ≥100 bpm for 15 s. Lactate, GSH (total glutathione), GSSG (oxidized glutathione), and GSSG/GSH ratio were measured in myocardial and frontoparietal cortex homogenates. Interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor α were measured in frontoparietal cortex homogenates. RESULTS There was no difference in time to ROSC or inflammation and oxidative stress in the 3 oxygen groups. CONCLUSIONS Resuscitation with 18% oxygen did not result in differences in inflammation and oxidative stress when compared to 21 or 100% oxygen.

Abstract
Epinephrine is the only medication recommended by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation for use in newborn resuscitation. Strong evidence from large clinical trials is lacking owing to the infrequent use of epinephrine during neonatal resuscitation. Current recommendations are weak as they are extrapolated from animal models or pediatric and adult studies that do not adequately depict the transitioning circulation and fluid-filled lungs of the newborn in the delivery room. Many gaps in knowledge including the optimal dosing, best route and timing of epinephrine administration warrant further studies. Experiments on a well-established ovine model of perinatal asphyxial cardiac arrest closely mimicking the newborn infant provide important information that can guide future clinical trials.

The SURV1VE trial-sustained inflation and chest compression versus 3:1 chest compression-to-ventilation ratio during cardiopulmonary resuscitation of asphyxiated newborns: study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial. Trials 2019; 20:139.

Abstract
Background The need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is often unexpected, and the infrequent use of CPR in the delivery room (DR) limits the opportunity to perform rigorous clinical studies to determine the best method for delivering chest compression (CC) to newborn infants. The current neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend using a coordinated 3:1 compression-to-ventilation (C:V) ratio (CC at a rate of 90/min and ventilations at a rate of 30/min). In comparison, providing CC during a sustained inflation (SI) (CC + SI) significantly improved hemodynamics, minute ventilation, and time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) compared to 3:1 C:V ratio in asphyxiated piglets. Similarly, a small pilot trial in newborn infants showed similar results. Until now no study has examined different CC techniques during neonatal resuscitation in asphyxiated newborn infants in the DR. To date, no trial has been performed to directly compare CC + SI and 3:1 C:V ratio in the DR during CPR of asphyxiated newborn infants. Methods This is a large, international, multi-center, prospective, unblinded, cluster randomized controlled trial in asphyxiated newborn infants at birth. All term and preterm infants > 28+ 0 by best obstetrical estimate who require CPR at birth due to bradycardia (< 60/min) or asystole are eligible. The primary outcome of this study is to compare the time to ROSC in infants born > 28+ 0 weeks’ gestational age with bradycardia (< 60/min) or asystole immediately after birth who receive either CC + SI or 3:1 C:V ratio as the CPR strategy. Discussion Morbidity and mortality rates are extremely high for newborns requiring CC. We believe the combination of simultaneous CC and SI during CPR has the potential to significantly improve ROSC and survival. In addition, we believe that CC + SI might improve respiratory and hemodynamic parameters and potentially minimize morbidity and mortality in newborn infants. In addition, this will be the first randomized controlled trial to examine CC in the newborn period. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02858583.

Chest Compressions in the Delivery Room. CHILDREN-BASEL 2019; 6:children6010004.

Abstract
Annually, an estimated 13–26 million newborns need respiratory support and 2–3 million newborns need extensive resuscitation, defined as chest compression and 100% oxygen with or without epinephrine in the delivery room. Despite such care, there is a high incidence of mortality and neurologic morbidity. The poor prognosis associated with receiving chest compression alone or with medications in the delivery room raises questions as to whether improved cardiopulmonary resuscitation methods specifically tailored to the newborn could improve outcomes. This review discusses the current recommendations, mode of action, different compression to ventilation ratios, continuous chest compression with asynchronous ventilations, chest compression and sustained inflation optimal depth, and oxygen concentration during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Abstract
Objectives: Heart rate (HR) is the most significant parameter to assess a newborn's clinical status at birth. Recently, novel technologies including smartphone applications have been suggested for HR assessment during neonatal resuscitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy, speed, and precision of the NeoTapLifeSupport (NeoTapLS) smartphone application using a digital stethoscope (DS) for HR assessment during neonatal resuscitation. Design: Newborn piglets (n = 20, 1-3 days, 1.7-2.4 kg) were anesthetized, intubated, mechanically ventilated, and subjected to 30 min of hypoxia, followed by asphyxia. Asphyxia was induced by clamping the endotracheal tube and disconnecting the ventilator, until asystole was confirmed by zero carotid blood flow (CBF). Setting: Experimental setting. Subjects: Asphyxia-induced newborn piglets. Interventions: During asphyxia, HR assessments were performed with a DS using the NeoTapLS smartphone application, and compared to 6-s method (6 s), and 10-s method (10 s). Measurements and Main Results: Accuracy of obtained HRs was compared to CBF and electrocardiogram and assessment time using NeoTapLS, 6 s, and 10 s were also measured. The mean(SD) HR with the NeoTapLS was 68(26), compared to CBF with 68(27) bpm, 6 s with 68(27), and 10 s with 66(26) bpm during asphyxia. Bland-Altman analysis revealed no difference between HR using the NeoTapLS, 6 s, 10 s, compared to CBF HR, with NeoTapLS showing the smallest difference between 95% limits of agreement. The median (IQR) time required to obtain a HR using the NeoTapLS was 3(2-4) s, compared to 6(6-7), and 10(10-11) s for 6 and 10 s, respectively. Conclusions: Our data suggests that the NeoTapLS is accurate, fast, and precise during neonatal asphyxia to assess heart rate.

Abstract
Background: Male and female newborns have differences in their fetal development, fetal-to-neonatal transition, and postnatal morbidity. However, the cardiovascular fetal-to-neonatal adaption is similar between sexes. No study has examined sex differences in newborns during hypoxia, asphyxia, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or post-resuscitation recovery. Methods: Secondary analysis (two previous publications and two studies currently under peer-review) of 110 term newborn mixed breed piglets (1-3 days of age, weighing 2.0 ± 0.2 kg), which were exposed to 30 min normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia until asystole, which was achieved by disconnecting the ventilator and clamping the endotracheal tube. This was followed by cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. For the analysis piglets were divided into female and male groups. Cardiac function, carotid blood flow, and cerebral and renal oxygenation were continuously recorded throughout the experiment. Results: A total of 35/41 (85%) female and 54/69 (78%) male piglets resuscitated achieved ROSC (p = 0.881). The median (IQR) time to achieve return of spontaneous circulation in females and males was 111 (80-228) s and 106 (80-206) s (p = 0.875), respectively. The 4-h survival rate was similar between females and males with 28/35 (80%) and 49/54 (91%) piglets surviving (p = 0.241), respectively. Conclusions: No difference between female and male newborn piglets was observed during hypoxia, asphyxia, resuscitation, and post-resuscitation recovery.

Abstract
Animal models have made and continue to make important contributions to neonatal medicine. For example, studies in fetal sheep have taught us much about the physiology of the fetal-to-neonatal transition. However, whereas animal models allow multiple factors to be investigated in a logical and systematic manner, no animal model is perfect for humans and so we need to understand the fundamental differences in physiology between the species in question and humans. Although most physiological systems are well conserved between species, some small differences exist and so wherever possible the knowledge generated from preclinical studies in animals should be tested in clinical trials. However, with the rise of evidence-based medicine the distinction between scientific knowledge generation and evidence gathering has been confused and the two have been lumped together. This misunderstands the contribution that scientific knowledge can provide. Science should be used to guide the gathering of evidence by informing the design of clinical trials, thereby increasing their likelihood of success. While scientific knowledge is not evidence, in the absence of evidence it is likely to be the best option for guiding clinical practice.

[PMID: 28988159 DOI: 10.1136/archdischild-2017-313037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2017] [Revised: 09/15/2017] [Accepted: 09/19/2017] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend 3:1 compression:ventilation (C:V) ratio. Recently, animal studies reported that continuous chest compressions (CC) during a sustained inflation (SI) significantly improved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The approach of CC during SI (CC+SI) has not been examined in the delivery room during neonatal resuscitation. HYPOTHESIS It is a feasibility study to compare CC+SI versus 3:1 C:V ratio during neonatal resuscitation in the delivery room. We hypothesised that during neonatal resuscitation, CC+SI will reduce the time to ROSC. Our aim was to examine if CC+SI reduces ROSC compared with 3:1 C:V CPR in preterm infants <33 weeks of gestation. STUDY DESIGN Randomised feasibility trial. METHOD Once CC was indicated all eligible infants were immediately and randomly allocated to either CC+SI group or 3:1 C:V group. A sequentially numbered, brown, sealed envelope contained a folded card box with the treatment allocation was opened by the clinical team at the start of CC. STUDY INTERVENTIONS Infants in the CC+SI group received CC at a rate of 90/min during an SI with a duration of 20 s (CC+SI). After 20 s, the SI was interrupted for 1 s and the next SI was started for another 20 s until ROSC. Infants in the '3:1 group' received CC using 3:1 C:V ratio until ROSC. PRIMARY OUTCOME Overall the mean (SD) time to ROSC was significantly shorter in the CC+SI group with 31 (9) s compared with 138 (72) s in the 3:1 C:V group (p=0.011). CONCLUSION CC+SI is feasible in the delivery room. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02083705, pre-results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-quality chest compression is essential during neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, the optimal compression to ventilation ratio (C:V) that should be used during neonatal CPR to optimize coronary and cerebral perfusion while providing adequate ventilation remains unknown. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that different C:V ratios (e.g., 2: 1 or 4: 1) will reduce the time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in severely asphyxiated piglets. METHODS Thirty-one newborn piglets (1-4 days old) were anesthetized, intubated, instrumented, and exposed to 50-min normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia. Piglets were randomized into 4 groups: 2: 1 (n = 8), 3: 1 (n = 8), 4: 1 (n = 8) C:V ratio, or a sham group (n = 7). Cardiac function, carotid blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded throughout the experiment. RESULTS Thirty-one piglets were included in the study, and there was no difference in the duration of asphyxia or the degree of asphyxiation (as indicated by pH, PaCO2, and lactate) among the different groups. The median (IQR) time to ROSC was similar between the groups with 127 (82-210), 96 (88-126), and 119 (83-256) s in the 2: 1, 3: 1, and 4: 1 C:V ratio groups, respectively (p = 0.67 between groups). Similarly, there was no difference in 100% oxygen requirement or epinephrine administration between the experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS Different C:V ratios resulted in similar ROSC, mortality, oxygen, and epinephrine administration during resuscitation in a porcine model of neonatal asphyxia.

Abstract
Approximately, 10-20% of newborns require breathing assistance at birth, which remains the cornerstone of neonatal resuscitation. Fortunately, the need for chest compression (CC) or medications in the delivery room (DR) is rare. About 0.1% of term infants and up to 15% of preterm infants receive these interventions, this will result in approximately one million newborn deaths annually worldwide. In addition, CC or medications (epinephrine) are more frequent in the preterm population (~15%) due to birth asphyxia. A recent study reported that only 6 per 10,000 infants received epinephrine in the DR. Further, the study reported that infants receiving epinephrine during resuscitation had a high incidence of mortality (41%) and short-term neurologic morbidity (57% hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and seizures). A recent review of newborns who received prolonged CC and epinephrine but had no signs of life at 10 min following birth noted 83% mortality, with 93% of survivors suffering moderate-to-severe disability. The poor prognosis associated with receiving CC alone or with medications in the DR raises questions as to whether improved cardiopulmonary resuscitation methods specifically tailored to the newborn could improve outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the ventilation practice during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in children. METHODS An online survey of CPR practices was designed and sent to healthcare professionals treating children. RESULTS A total of 477 healthcare professionals from 46 countries responded to this survey; 92.7% were physicians and 64.2% worked in pediatric intensive care units. Specific CPR guidelines were used by 97.7% of respondents. The respiratory rate most frequently used for children over 12 months was 13 to 20 respirations per minute (rpm) (46% in intubated and 41.8% in non-intubated). For infants under 12 months, the most frequently used respiratory rate was 21 to 30 rpm in intubated patients (37.3%): in non-intubated infants, 13 to 20 rpm (26.5%) and 21 to 30 rpm (26.5%) were used with the same frequency. In North America, the respiratory rate most widely used was 7 to 12 rpm; higher rates (13 to 20 rpm and 21 to 30 rpm) were used in Europe and Latin America (P<0.001). After ROSC, no significant differences in the respiratory rates used were found between the continents. More than 40% of healthcare professionals had a target oxygen saturation below 94%; more than 10% used a target arterial PCO2 below 35 mmHg and more than 13% above 45 mmHg. CONCLUSIONS There is considerable variation in the management of ventilation of children in cardiac arrest, and international recommendations are not being followed in a high percentage of cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Continuous chest compressions are more effective during resuscitation in adults. Sustained inflation rapidly establishes functional residual capacity in fluid-filled lungs at birth. We sought to compare the hemodynamics and success in achieving return of spontaneous circulation in an asphyxial cardiac arrest lamb model with transitioning fetal circulation and fluid-filled lungs between subjects receiving continuous chest compressions during sustained inflation and those receiving conventional 3:1 compression-to-ventilation resuscitation. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, animal model study. SETTING An experimental laboratory. SUBJECTS Fourteen newborn term gestation lambs. INTERVENTIONS Lambs were randomized into two groups: 3:1 compression-to-ventilation (control) and continuous chest compressions during sustained inflation. The umbilical cord was occluded to induce asphyxia and asystole. The control group was resuscitated per NRP guidelines. In the sustained inflation + continuous chest compressions group, sustained inflation at 35 cm H2O was provided for 30 seconds with 1-second interruptions before another sustained inflation was provided. One hundred twenty chest compressions/min started after the initial sustained inflation. The first dose of IV epinephrine was given at 6 minutes if return of spontaneous circulation was not achieved and then every 3 minutes until return of spontaneous circulation or for a total of four doses. MEASUREMENT AND RESULTS All lambs achieved return of spontaneous circulation in a comparable median time (interquartile range) of 390 seconds (225-405 s) and 345 seconds (204-465 s) in the sustained inflation + continuous chest compressions and control groups, respectively. Four of seven (sustained inflation + continuous chest compressions) and three of six (control) lambs required epinephrine to achieve return of spontaneous circulation. Diastolic blood pressures were lower in the sustained inflation + continuous chest compressions (4 ± 2 mm Hg) compared to the control group (7 ± 2 mm Hg), p < 0.05. PaCO2, PaO2, and lactate were similar between the groups during the study period. CONCLUSION In this perinatal cardiac arrest lamb model with transitioning fetal circulation and fluid-filled lungs, sustained inflation + continuous chest compressions is as effective as 3:1 compression-to-ventilation resuscitation in achieving return of spontaneous circulation. Half the lambs achieved return of spontaneous circulation without epinephrine. continuous chest compressions during sustained inflation reduced diastolic pressures but did not alter gas exchange or carotid blood flow compared to 3:1 compression-to-ventilation resuscitation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Current knowledge about pulmonary/systemic hemodynamics and gas exchange during neonatal resuscitation in a model of transitioning fetal circulation with fetal shunts and fluid-filled alveoli is limited. Using a fetal lamb asphyxia model, we sought to determine whether hemodynamic or gas-exchange parameters predicted successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). METHODS The umbilical cord was occluded in 22 lambs to induce asphyxial cardiac arrest. Following five minutes of asystole, resuscitation as per AHA-Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines was initiated. Hemodynamic parameters and serial arterial blood gases were assessed during resuscitation. RESULTS ROSC occurred in 18 lambs (82%) at a median (IQR) time of 120 (105-180) seconds. There were no differences in hemodynamic parameters at baseline and at any given time point during resuscitation between the lambs that achieved ROSC and those that did not. Blood gases at arrest prior to resuscitation were comparable between groups. However, lambs that achieved ROSC had lower PaO2, higher PaCO2, and lower lactate during resuscitation. Increase in diastolic blood pressures induced by epinephrine in lambs that achieved ROSC (11 ±4 mmHg) did not differ from those that were not resuscitated (10 ±6 mmHg). Low diastolic blood pressures were adequate to achieve ROSC. CONCLUSIONS Hemodynamic parameters in a neonatal lamb asphyxia model with transitioning circulation did not predict success of ROSC. Lactic acidosis, higher PaO2 and lower PaCO2 observed in the lambs that did not achieve ROSC may represent a state of inadequate tissue perfusion and/or mitochondrial dysfunction.

Tidal Volume Delivery and Endotracheal Tube Leak during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Intubated Newborn Piglets with Hypoxic Cardiac Arrest Exposed to Different Modes of Ventilatory Support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few data available on the interaction of inflations, chest compressions (CC), and delivery of tidal volumes in newborn infants undergoing resuscitation in the presence of endotracheal tube (ET) leaks. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of different respiratory support strategies along with CC on changes in tidal volume and ET leaks in hypoxic newborn piglets with cardiac arrest. METHODS Asphyxiated newborn piglets, intubated with weight-adapted uncuffed ET, were randomized into three groups and resuscitated according to ILCOR 2010 guidelines: (1) T-piece resuscitator (TPR) group = peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)/positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 25/5 cm H2O, rate 30/min, inflations interposed between CC (3:1 ratio); (2) self- inflating bag (SIB) group = PIP 25 cm H2O without PEEP, rate 30/min, inflations interposed between CC (3:1 ratio), and (3) ventilator group = PIP/PEEP of 25/5 cm H2O, rate 30/min. CC were applied with a rate of 120/min without synchrony to inflations. RESULTS We observed a significant increase of leak (average increase 11.4%) when CC was added to respiratory support (p = 0.0001). Expired tidal volume was larger in the SIB group than in the two other modes which both applied PEEP. However, tidal volumes caused by CC only were larger in the two groups with PEEP than in the SIB group (without PEEP). CONCLUSIONS There is interaction between lung inflations and CC affecting leak and delivery of tidal volume, which may be influenced by the mode/device used for respiratory support. Leak is larger in the presence of PEEP. However, CC cause additional tidal volume which is larger in the presence of PEEP.

Abstract
Historically, recommendations for neonatal resuscitation were largely based on dogma, but there is renewed interest in performing resuscitation studies at birth. The emphasis for resuscitation following birth asphyxia is administering effective ventilation, as adequate lung aeration leads not only to an increase in oxygenation but also increased pulmonary blood flow and heart rate. To aerate the lung, an initial sustained inflation can increase heart rate, oxygenation, and blood pressure recovery much faster when compared with standard ventilation. Hyperoxia should be avoided, and extra oxygen given to restore cardiac function and spontaneous breathing should be titrated based on oxygen saturations.

Abstract
AIM Suboptimal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with a poor outcome, and international guidelines state that resuscitators should optimise compression and ventilation techniques with as few interruptions as possible. We investigated compression and ventilation quality during simulated CPR with four compression-to-ventilation (C:V) methods. METHODS In this crossover manikin study, 42 pairs of doctors, nurses, midwives and sixth-year medical students from two Norwegian hospitals provided two-minute resuscitation using the 3:1, 9:3 and 15:2 C:V methods and continuous chest compressions at 120 per minute with asynchronous ventilations (CCaV-120). We measured chest compression, ventilation mechanics and the resuscitators' preferences. RESULTS C:V methods 3:1 and 9:3 provided comparable chest compressions and ventilation mechanics, whereas 15:2 produced fewer ventilations and lower minute volumes. The CCaV-120 method was significantly less effective than the 3:1 C:V ratio method: the chest compression depth was 1.9 mm lower, there were 25 fewer chest compressions and 21 fewer ventilations per minute, and the minute volume was 69 mL lower. The 3:1 C:V method also provided better coordination between resuscitators. CONCLUSION Our comparison of four simulated infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation methods favoured the 3:1 C:V method, and the multidisciplinary group of participants felt it offered the best level of coordination between resuscitators.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of ventilation and ventilation-compression synchronization on compression force and sternal displacement during simulated neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (NCPR) on an infant manikin. METHODS Five Neonatal Resuscitation Program trained clinicians were recruited to perform simulated NCPR on an infant manikin using two-finger (TF) and two-thumb (TT) compression, with synchronous and asynchronous ventilation, as well as without ventilation. The sternal displacement and force were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Synchronous ventilation and compression yielded sternal displacements and forces in the range of 22.8-32.4 mm and 15.0-29.8 N, respectively, while asynchronous ventilation and compression produced depths and forces in the range of 21.2-32.4 mm and 14.0-28.8 N, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Ventilation exerts a significant influence on sternal displacement and force during simulated NCPR, regardless of the compression method used. Ventilation-compression synchronization, however, is only significant during TF compression with lower compression forces measured during synchronous ventilation than in asynchronous ventilation. This occurs for two reasons: (i) the strong influence of ventilation forces on the lower magnitude compression forces produced during TF compression relative to TT compression and (ii) in asynchronous ventilation, compression and ventilation may occur simultaneously, with inflation and deflation providing an opposing force to the applied compression force.

Abstract
AIM Despite the minimal evidence, neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend using 100% oxygen when chest compressions (CC) are needed. Uninterrupted CC in adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may improve CPR hemodynamics. We aimed to examine 21% oxygen (air) vs. 100% oxygen in 3:1 CC:ventilation (C:V) CPR or continuous CC with asynchronous ventilation (CCaV) in asphyxiated newborn piglets following cardiac arrest. METHODS Piglets (1-3 days old) were progressively asphyxiated until cardiac arrest and randomized to 4 experimental groups (n=8 each): air and 3:1 C:V CPR, 100% oxygen and 3:1 C:V CPR, air and CCaV, or 100% oxygen and CCaV. Time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), mortality, and clinical and biochemical parameters were compared between groups. We used echocardiography to measure left ventricular (LV) stroke volume at baseline, at 30min and 4h after ROSC. Left common carotid artery blood pressure was measured continuously. RESULTS Time to ROSC (heart rate ≥100min(-1)) ranged from 75 to 592s and mortality 50-75%, with no differences between groups. Resuscitation with air was associated with higher LV stroke volume after ROSC and less myocardial oxidative stress compared to 100% oxygen groups. CCaV was associated with lower mean arterial blood pressure after ROSC and higher myocardial lactate than those of 3:1 C:V CPR. CONCLUSION In neonatal asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest, using air during CC may reduce myocardial oxidative stress and improve cardiac function compared to 100% oxygen. Although overall recovery may be similar, CCaV may impair tissue perfusion compared to 3:1 C:V CPR.

Abstract
Objective Recently, sustained inflations (SI) during chest compression (CC) have been suggested as an alternative to the current approach during neonatal resuscitation. However, the optimal rate of CC during SI has not yet been established. Our aim was to determine whether different CC rates during SI reduce time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and improve hemodynamic recovery in newborn piglets with asphyxia-induced bradycardia. Intervention and measurements Term newborn piglets were anesthetized, intubated, instrumented and exposed to 45-min normocapnic hypoxia followed by asphyxia. Resuscitation was initiated when heart rate decreased to 25% of baseline. Piglets were randomized into three groups: CC superimposed by SI at a rate of 90 CC per minute (SI+CC 90, n = 8), CC superimposed by SI at a rate of 120 CC per minute (SI+CC 120, n = 8), or a sham group (n = 6). Cardiac function, carotid blood flow, cerebral oxygenation and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded throughout the experiment. Main results Both treatment groups had similar time of ROSC, survival rates, hemodynamic and respiratory parameters during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The hemodynamic recovery in the subsequent 4h was similar in both groups and was only slightly lower than sham-operated piglets at the end of experiment. Conclusion Newborn piglets resuscitated by SI+CC 120 did not show a significant advantage in ROSC, survival, and hemodynamic recovery as compared to those piglets resuscitated by SI+CC 90.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Provision of chest compressions (CCs) and/or medications in the delivery room is associated with poor outcomes. Based on the physiology of perinatal asphyxia, we aimed to provide an overview of current recommendations and explore potential determinants of effective neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): balancing ventilations and CC, CC rate, depth, full chest recoil, CC technique and adrenaline. DESIGN A search in the databases MEDLINE (Ovid) and EMBASE until 10 April 2015. SETTING Delivery room. PATIENTS Asphyxiated newborn infants. INTERVENTIONS CCs. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Haemodynamics, recovery and survival. RESULTS Current evidence is derived from mathematical models, manikin and animal studies, and small case series. No randomised clinical trials examining neonatal CC have been performed. There is no evidence to refute a CC to ventilation (C:V) ratio of 3:1. Raising the intrathoracic pressure, for example, by superimposing a sustained inflation on uninterrupted CC, and a CC rate >120/min may be beneficial. The optimal neonatal CC depth is unknown, but factors influencing depth and consistency include the C:V ratio. Incomplete chest wall recoil can cause less negative intrathoracic pressure between CC and reduced CPR effectiveness. CC should be performed with the two-thumb method over the lower third of the sternum. The optimal dose, route and timing of adrenaline administration remain to be determined. CONCLUSIONS Successful CPR requires the delivery of high-quality CC, encompassing optimal (A) C:V ratio (B) rate, (C) depth, (D) chest recoil between CC, (E) technique and (F) adrenaline dosage. More animal studies with high translational value and randomised clinical trials are needed.

Abstract
Background End-tidal CO2 (ETCO2), partial pressure of exhaled CO2 (PECO2), and volume of expired CO2 (VCO2) can be continuously monitored non-invasively to reflect pulmonary ventilation and perfusion status. Although ETCO2 ≥14mmHg has been shown to be associated with return of an adequate heart rate in neonatal resuscitation and quantifying the PECO2 has the potential to serve as an indicator of resuscitation quality, there is little information regarding capnometric measurement of PECO2 and ETCO2 in detecting return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survivability in asphyxiated neonates receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods Seventeen newborn piglets were anesthetized, intubated, instrumented, and exposed to 45-minute normocapnic hypoxia followed by apnea to induce asphyxia. Protocolized resuscitation was initiated when heart rate decreased to 25% of baseline. Respiratory and hemodynamic parameters including ETCO2, PECO2, VCO2, heart rate, cardiac output, and carotid artery flow were continuously measured and analyzed. Results There were no differences in respiratory and hemodynamic parameters between surviving and non-surviving piglets prior to CPR. Surviving piglets had significantly higher ETCO2, PECO2, VCO2, cardiac index, and carotid artery flow values during CPR compared to non-surviving piglets. Conclusion Surviving piglets had significantly better respiratory and hemodynamic parameters during resuscitation compared to non-surviving piglets. In addition to optimizing resuscitation efforts, capnometry can assist by predicting outcomes of newborns requiring chest compressions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess development of objective, subjective and indirect measures of fatigue during simulated infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with two different methods. METHODS Using a neonatal manikin, 17 subject-pairs were randomized in a crossover design to provide 5-min CPR with a 3:1 chest compression (CC) to ventilation (C:V) ratio and continuous CCs at a rate of 120 min(-1) with asynchronous ventilations (CCaV-120). We measured participants' changes in heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP); perceived level of fatigue on a validated Likert scale; and manikin CC measures. RESULTS CCaV-120 compared with a 3:1 C:V ratio resulted in a change during 5-min of CPR in HR 49 versus 40 bpm (p = 0.01), and MAP 1.7 versus -2.8 mmHg (p = 0.03); fatigue rated on a Likert scale 12.9 versus 11.4 (p = 0.2); and a significant decay in CC depth after 90 s (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate a trend toward more fatigue during simulated CPR in CCaV-120 compared to the recommended 3:1 C:V CPR. These results support current guidelines.
