Continuous chest compression during sustained inflation versus continuous compression with asynchronized ventilation in an infantile porcine model of severe bradycardia. Resusc Plus 2024; 18:100629.

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.

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
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
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 Chest compression (CC) during sustained inflations (CC+SI) compared with CC with asynchronized ventilation (CCaV) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in asphyxiated pediatric piglets will reduce time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Methods and Results Piglets (20–23 days of age, weighing 6.2–10.2 kg) were anesthetized, intubated, instrumented, and exposed to asphyxia. Cardiac arrest was defined as mean arterial blood pressure <25 mm Hg with bradycardia. After cardiac arrest, piglets were randomized to CC+SI (n=12) or CCaV (n=12) or sham (n=8). Sham‐operated animals had no asphyxia. Heart rate, arterial blood pressure, carotid blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded. There were no differences in baseline parameters or the duration and degree of asphyxiation. Median (interquartile range) Time to ROSC was 248 (41–346) seconds compared with 720 (167–720) seconds in the CC+SI group and CCaV group, respectively (P=0.0292). There was a 100% higher rate of ROSC in the CC+SI group versus CCaV group, with 10 (83%) versus 5 (42%) achieving ROSC (P=0.089), respectively. Piglets in the CC+SI and CCaV groups received intravenous epinephrine boluses to achieve ROSC (8/12 versus 10/12 P=0.639). There was a significantly higher minute ventilation in the CC+SI group, which was secondary to a 5‐fold increase in the number of inflations per minute and a 1.5‐fold increase in tidal volume. Conclusions CC+SI reduced time to ROSC and improved survival compared with using CCaV. CC+SI allowed passive ventilation of the lung while providing chest compressions. This technique warrants further studies to examine the potential to improve outcomes in pediatric patients with cardiac arrest.

Is Chest Compression Superimposed with Sustained Inflation during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation an Alternative to 3:1 Compression to Ventilation Ratio in Newborn Infants? CHILDREN-BASEL 2021; 8:children8020097.

Abstract
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.

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
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.

[PMID: 32574159 PMCID: PMC7310834 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0228693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2020] [Accepted: 06/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
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.

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. [PMID: 30782199 PMCID: PMC6381608 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-019-3240-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2018] [Accepted: 02/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
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. [PMID: 30609872 PMCID: PMC6352088 DOI: 10.3390/children6010004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2018] [Revised: 12/18/2018] [Accepted: 12/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
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
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.
