Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of the review is to summarize recent research on metabolic support during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. In this review, we cover the evidence on nutritional supplementation, both the route of supplementation, timing of initiation of supplementation as well as quantities of supplementation needed. In addition, we discuss the recent trend in awake extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its benefits to patients. RECENT FINDINGS As ECMO use continues to increase over the last few years, for both cardiovascular as well as respiratory failure, the need to optimize the metabolic states of patients has arisen. Increasing evidence has pointed towards this hitherto unexplored domain of patient care having a large impact on outcomes. Additionally, strategies such as awake ECMO for select patients has allowed them to preserve muscle mass which could aid in a faster recovery. SUMMARY There is a role of optimal metabolic support in the early recovery of patients on ECMO that is currently under-recognized. Future directions of research that aim to improve post ECMO outcomes must focus on this area.

Abstract
Optimal care of critically ill patients in the cardiac intensive care unit includes adequate nutritional support. This review highlights the high prevalence of malnutrition in acute heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, cardiogenic shock, and post-cardiac arrest and its adverse impact on prognosis. There is a lack of robust evidence regarding appropriate nutritional support in this patient population. Initiation of nutritional support with a comprehensive assessment of the patient's nutritional status is critical. High-risk cardiac patients who are not critically ill can receive oral nutrition adapted to individual risk factors or deficiencies, although overfeeding should be avoided in the acute phase. For critically ill patients at risk of or with malnutrition on admission, general principles include initiation of nutritional support within 48 h of admission, preference for enteral over parenteral nutrition, preference for hypocaloric nutrition in the first week of intensive care unit admission, and adequate micronutrient supplementation. Enteral nutrition in haemodynamically unstable patients carries a risk, albeit low, of intestinal ischaemia. In the case of malnutrition, the risk of refeeding syndrome should always be considered.

Bleeding and Thrombosis in Patients With Out-of-Hospital Ventricular Tachycardia/Ventricular Fibrillation Arrest Treated With Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e034516. [PMID: 38700025 PMCID: PMC11179947 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.034516] [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: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation improves outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, bleeding and thrombosis are common complications. We aimed to describe the incidence and predictors of bleeding and thrombosis and their association with in-hospital mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients presenting with refractory ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between December 2015 and March 2022 who met the criteria for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation initiation at our center were included. Major bleeding was defined by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization's criteria. Adjusted analyses were done to seek out risk factors for bleeding and thrombosis and evaluate their association with mortality. Major bleeding occurred in 135 of 200 patients (67.5%), with traumatic bleeding from cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 73 (36.5%). Baseline demographics and arrest characteristics were similar between groups. In multivariable analysis, decreasing levels of fibrinogen were independently associated with bleeding (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.98 per every 10 mg/dL rise [95% CI, 0.96-0.99]). Patients who died had a higher rate of bleeds per day (0.21 versus 0.03, P<0.001) though bleeding was not significantly associated with in-hospital death (aHR, 0.81 [95% CI. 0.55-1.19]). A thrombotic event occurred in 23.5% (47/200) of patients. Venous thromboembolism occurred in 11% (22/200) and arterial thrombi in 15.5% (31/200). Clinical characteristics were comparable between groups. In adjusted analyses, no risk factors for thrombosis were identified. Thrombosis was not associated with in-hospital death (aHR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.42-1.03]). CONCLUSIONS Bleeding is a frequent complication of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation that is associated with decreased fibrinogen levels on admission whereas thrombosis is less common. Neither bleeding nor thrombosis was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiac arrests constitute a leading cause of mortality in the adult population and cardiologists are often tasked with the management of patients following cardiac arrest either as a consultant or primary provider in the cardiac intensive care unit. Familiarity with evidence-based practice for post-cardiac arrest care is a requisite for optimizing outcomes in this highly morbid group. This review will highlight important concepts necessary to managing these patients. RECENT FINDINGS Emerging evidence has further elucidated optimal care of post-arrest patients including timing for routine coronary angiography, utility of therapeutic hypothermia, permissive hypercapnia, and empiric aspiration pneumonia treatment. The complicated state of multi-organ failure following cardiac arrest needs to be carefully optimized by the clinician to prevent further neurologic injury and promote systemic recovery. Future studies should be aimed at understanding if these findings extend to specific patient populations, especially those at the highest risk for poor outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction Failure to restore spontaneous circulation remains a major cause of death for cardiac arrest (CA) patients. Mechanical circulatory support, specifically extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), has emerged as a feasible and efficacious rescue strategy for selected refractory CA patients. Methods Mechanical Circulatory Support was one of six focus topics for the Wolf Creek XVII Conference held on June 14-17, 2023 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. Conference invitees included international thought leaders and scientists in the field of CA resuscitation from academia and industry. Participants submitted via online survey knowledge gaps, barriers to translation and research priorities for each focus topic. Expert panels used the survey results and their own perspectives and insights to create and present a preliminary unranked list for each category that was debated, revised and ranked by all attendees to identify the top 5 for each category. Results Top 5 knowledge gaps included optimal patient selection, pre-ECPR treatments, logistical and programmatic characteristics of ECPR programs, generalizability and effectiveness of ECPR, and prevention of reperfusion injury. Top 5 barriers to translation included cost/resource limitations, technical challenges, collaboration across multiple disciplines, limited patient population, and early identification of eligible patients. Top 5 research priorities focused on comparing the outcomes of prehospital/rapid transport strategies vs in-hospital ECPR initiation, implementation of high-performing ECPR system vs standard care, rapid patient identification tools vs standard clinical judgment, post-cardiac arrest bundled care vs no bundled care, and standardized ECPR clinical protocol vs routine care. Conclusion This overview can serve as an innovative guide to transform the care and outcome of patients with refractory CA.

Abstract
Emerging science continues to establish the detrimental effects of malnutrition in acute neurological diseases such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, status epilepticus and anoxic brain injury. The primary pathological pathways responsible for secondary brain injury include neuroinflammation, catabolism, immune suppression and metabolic failure, and these are exacerbated by malnutrition. Given this, there is growing interest in novel nutritional interventions to promote neurological recovery after acute brain injury. In this review, we will describe how malnutrition impacts the biomolecular mechanisms of secondary brain injury in acute neurological disorders, and how nutritional status can be optimized in both pediatric and adult populations. We will further highlight emerging therapeutic approaches, including specialized diets that aim to resolve neuroinflammation, immunodeficiency and metabolic crisis, by providing pre-clinical and clinical evidence that their use promotes neurologic recovery. Using nutrition as a targeted treatment is appealing for several reasons that will be discussed. Given the high mortality and both short- and long-term morbidity associated with acute brain injuries, novel translational and clinical approaches are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple randomized clinical trials have compared specific airway management strategies during ACLS with conflicting results. However, patients with refractory cardiac arrest died in almost all cases without the availability of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Our aim was to determine if endotracheal intubation (ETI) was associated with improved outcomes compared to supraglottic airways (SGA) in patients with refractory cardiac arrest presenting for ECPR. METHODS We retrospectively studied 420 consecutive adult patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to shockable presenting rhythms presenting to the University of Minnesota ECPR program. We compared outcomes between patients receiving ETI (n=179) and SGA (n=204). The primary outcome was the pre-cannulation arterial PaO2 upon arrival to the ECMO cannulation center. Secondary outcomes included neurologically favorable survival to hospital discharge and eligibility for VA-ECMO based upon resuscitation continuation criteria applied upon arrival to the ECMO cannulation center. RESULTS Patients receiving ETI had significantly higher median PaO2 (71 vs. 58 mmHg, p=0.001), lower median PaCO2 (55 vs. 75 mmHg, p<0.001), and higher median pH (7.03 vs. 6.93, p<0.001) compared to those receiving SGA. Patients receiving ETI were also significantly more likely to meet VA-ECMO eligibility criteria (85% vs. 74%, p=0.008). Of patients eligible for VA-ECMO, patients receiving ETI had significantly higher neurologically favorable survival compared to SGA (42% vs. 29%, p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS ETI was associated with improved oxygenation and ventilation after prolonged CPR. This resulted in increased rate of candidacy for ECPR and increased neurologically favorable survival to discharge with ETI compared to SGA. Short Title: Airway Effects in Refractory Cardiac Arrest.

Acute lung injury and recovery in patients with refractory VT/VF cardiac arrest treated with prolonged CPR and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Resuscitation 2023; 182:109651. [PMID: 36442595 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2022.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIM Describe the lung injury patterns among patients presenting with refractory ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (VT/VF OHCA) supported with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) facilitated resuscitation. METHODS In this retrospective single-center cohort study including VT/VF OHCA patients supported with VA ECMO, we compared OHCA characteristics, post-arrest computed tomography (CT) scans, ventilator parameters, and other lung-related pathology between survivors, patients who developed brain death, and those with other causes of death. RESULTS Among 138 patients, 48/138 (34.8%) survived, 31/138 (22.4%) developed brain death, and 59/138 (42.7%) died of other causes. Successful extubation was achieved in 39/138 (28%) with a median time to extubation of 8.0 days (6.0, 11.0) in those who survived. Tracheostomy was required in 15/48 (31.3%) survivors. Chest CT obtained on all patients showed lung injury in at least one lung area in 124/135 (91.8%) patients, predominantly in the dependent posterior areas. There was no association between the number of affected areas and survival. Lung compliance was low on admission [26 (19,33) ml/cmH20], improved throughout hospitalization (p = 0.03), and recovered faster in survivors compared to those who died (p < 0.001). VA-ECMO allowed the use of lung-protective ventilation while maintaining normalized PaO2 and PaCO2. Patients treated with V-A ECMO and either IABP or Impella had lower pulmonary compliance and more affected areas on their CT compared to those treated with V-A ECMO alone. CONCLUSIONS Lung injury is common among patients with refractory VT/VF OHCA requiring V-A ECMO, but imaging severity is not associated with survival. Reductions in lung compliance accompany post-arrest lung injury while compliance recovery is associated with survival.

Abstract
Background: A proper nutritional plan for resuscitated patients is important in intensive care; however, specific nutritional guidelines have not yet been established. This study aimed to determine the incidence of diet-related complications that were affected by the timing of enteral nutrition in resuscitated patients after cardiac arrest.Methods: This retrospective and 1:1 propensity score matching study involved patients who recovered after nontraumatic, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest at a tertiary hospital. Patients were divided into an early enteral nutrition support (ENS) group and a delayed enteral nutrition support (DNS) group according to the nutritional support time within 48 hours after admission. The incidence of major clinical complications was compared between the groups.Results: A total of 46 patients (ENS, 23; DNS, 23) were enrolled in the study. There were no differences in body mass index, comorbidity, and time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation between the two groups. There were 9 patients (ENS: 4, DNS: 5) with aspiration pneumonia; 4 patients (ENS: 2, DNS: 2) with regurgitation; one patient (ENS: 0, DNS: 1) with ileus; 21 patients (ENS: 10, DNS: 11) with fever; 13 patients (ENS: 8, DNS: 5) with hypoglycemia; and 20 patients (ENS: 11, DNS: 9) with hyperglycemia. The relative risk of each complication during post-resuscitation care was no different between groups.Conclusions: There was a similar incidence of diet-related complications during post cardiac arrest care according to the timing of enteral nutrition.
