Pre-hospital ECPR in an Australian metropolitan setting: a single-arm feasibility assessment-The CPR, pre-hospital ECPR and early reperfusion (CHEER3) study. Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med 2023; 31:100. [PMID: 38093335 PMCID: PMC10717258 DOI: 10.1186/s13049-023-01163-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Survival from refractory out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) without timely return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) utilising conventional advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) therapies is dismal. CHEER3 was a safety and feasibility study of pre-hospital deployed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for refractory OHCA in metropolitan Australia. METHODS This was a single jurisdiction, single-arm feasibility study. Physicians, with pre-existing ECMO expertise, responded to witnessed OHCA, age < 65 yrs, within 30 min driving-time, using an ECMO equipped rapid response vehicle. If pre-hospital ECPR was undertaken, patients were transported to hospital for investigations and therapies including emergent coronary catheterisation, and standard intensive care (ICU) therapy until either cardiac and neurological recovery or palliation occurred. Analyses were descriptive. RESULTS From February 2020 to May 2023, over 117 days, the team responded to 709 "potential cardiac arrest" emergency calls. 358 were confirmed OHCA. Time from emergency call to scene arrival was 27 min (15-37 min). 10 patients fulfilled the pre-defined inclusion criteria and all were successfully cannulated on scene. Time from emergency call to ECMO initiation was 50 min (35-62 min). Time from decision to ECMO support was 16 min (11-26 min). CPR duration was 46 min (32-62 min). All 10 patients were transferred to hospital for investigations and therapy. 4 patients (40%) survived to hospital discharge neurologically intact (CPC 1/2). CONCLUSION Pre-hospital ECPR was feasible, using an experienced ECMO team from a single-centre. Overall survival was promising in this highly selected group. Further prospective studies are now warranted.

Abstract
Lung transplantation is deemed to be the only effective therapy that improves survival for patients with end stage lung disease. The aim of our study was to examine the progress achieved over the last two decades and to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of this treatment. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a cohort of 600 consecutive lung transplant patients treated at the hospital Foch (Suresnes, France) between 1988 and 2014. They were split into three groups of 200 patients each: 1988-2004, 2004-2011, 2011-2014. RESULTS Time and mortality on waiting list, perioperative mortality, the incidence of acute rejection in the first year and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) at 5 years posttransplantation, have all decreased. Global survival at 1 and 5 years for the 600 patients increased from 78% and 57% to 86% and 75% respectively for the 200 last patients. Patients with cystic fibrosis have a better 5 year survival than those with emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis (68% vs. 54 % for emphysema and 37% for fibrosis). For the last 200 patients, 5 year survival is 81% for CF patients, 78 % for emphysema and 47% for fibrosis. Emergency transplantation had a 60% 5 years survival. Proliferative complications, arterial hypertension and renal function impairment are being monitored long term. CONCLUSION The twenty-five years experience shows a consistent improvement in the results of lung transplantation which is now accepted as the only effective curative treatment for end stage lung disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize current knowledge on contraceptive coverage in France and worldwide, describe the effectiveness of different types of contraceptives, describe the characteristics of women using contraception, contraceptive failure situations and describe the different medical risks associated with contraceptive methods. METHODS Consultation of the Medline database and of national or international reports on contraception. RESULTS Contraceptive coverage in France is high: 97% of women in 2013 use a contraceptive method (among fertile, sexually active women without a desire for pregnancy), with a majority using medical methods (72% using pills and other hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices and 25% using natural and traditional barrier methods). The 2013 pill scare called into question the use of estrogen-progestogenic contraception and the information provided by doctors, but the pill remains the first contraceptive method followed by the intrauterine device, condoms and the traditional and natural methods. Lifetime contraceptive coverage changes according to a defined standard in France: condoms for the teen-agers, pills before pregnancy and then intrauterine devices after childbirth. Sterilization is very rarely chosen and offered. Contraception in France remains a predominantly female domain. Women and couples should be informed about all contraceptive methods, allowing them to choose the method that best suits their health, living conditions and sexuality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Automated titration of propofol and remifentanil guided by the bispectral index (BIS) has been used for numerous surgical procedures. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) uniquely combines major changes in circulating volume, an anhepatic phase, and ischaemia-reperfusion syndrome. We assessed the behaviour of this automated controller during OLT. METHODS Adult patients undergoing OLT were included in this pilot study. Consumption of propofol and remifentanil was calculated for each surgery period (dissection, anhepatic, and liver reperfusion phases). Arterial blood samples were collected at several time points to allow comparison of actual with calculated propofol and remifentanil concentrations. Data are presented as median [25th and 75th percentiles] or percentage (95% confidence interval). RESULTS Thirteen patients were studied. System performance, defined as the percentage of time with BIS in the range 40-60, was 88% (86-94) of the total duration of anaesthesia. Propofol requirement was decreased during the anhepatic phase compared with the dissection phase (2.9 [1.9-5.0] mg kg(-1) h(-1) and 4.6 [3.5-8.1] mg kg(-1) h(-1); P<0.03) while remifentanil consumption was unchanged (0.11 [0.09-0.19] µg kg- (1) min(-1)). Bland-Altman analysis showed a weak concordance for propofol (bias of 0.7 µg ml(-1) and limits of agreement of -2.2 to +3.7 µg ml(-1)) and remifentanil (bias of 1.3 ng ml(-1) and limits of agreement -4.3 to +6.8 ng ml(-1)). No adverse events were reported during anaesthesia. CONCLUSIONS This pilot study indicates that automated titration of propofol and remifentanil guided by the BIS is feasible during OLT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin conductance variability to assess pain has shown varying results. Skin conductance responses per second (SCR) during a standardized painful stimulus in awake adults may give further understanding of the method's validity. The purpose of this study was to validate the SCR with the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain (P-VAS) and anxiety (A-VAS) during chest tube removal (CTR). METHODS Ninety-five patients receiving epidural or non-epidural treatment, scheduled for CTR, were studied. Pain or anxiety was considered when VAS > 30 mm; the SCR cut-off value reflecting pain was ≥0.2 SCR. RESULTS SCR values could not be recorded in eight cases before CTR, six cases during CTR and seven cases after CTR. CTR induced increases in SCR, P-VAS and A-VAS (p < 0.001). Seventy-seven percent of all pairs of P-VAS and SCR values were well-classified; P-VAS ≤ 30 mm and SCR < 0.2 or P-VAS > 30 mm and SCR ≥ 0.2. SCR obtained before CTR differentiates between patients with and without pain during CTR in all patients (p = 0.04) and in the subgroup of non-anxious patients (p = 0.02), but not in the subgroup of anxious patients. SCR obtained during CTR had similar values in patients with and without pain in all patients and in the subgroup of anxious patients, but in the subgroup of non-anxious patients SCR during CTR differentiates patients with and without pain (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS SCR increases during painful procedures. Preprocedural SCR may help predict reported pain in patients exposed to painful procedures. SCR during CTR differentiates between patients with and without pain only in non-anxious patients. SIGNIFICANCE Preprocedural SCR may help predict reported pain in patients exposed to painful procedures. Procedural SCR accuracy improves in a subgroup of non-anxious patients. P-VAS is influenced by anxiety different from SCR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare professionals may have difficulty in recognising the dying patient in acute care settings, and yet, this is essential if timely end-of-life care is to be provided. While approximately one-third of patients who pass away in-hospital are reviewed by the rapid response team (RRT), there is limited available research on other factors associated with mortality within the hospital setting. AIMS To describe the epidemiology of in-hospital mortality within a tertiary-level hospital, particularly in the context of RRT activation. METHODS We utilised the database extraction of demographic, admission and RRT activation data on acute patients discharged from an Australian acute tertiary hospital between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2013. Analyses included simple descriptors, Chi-squared and non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis tests as appropriate. RESULTS Of the 44,297 patients discharged from our hospital, 1603 died during admission. The general medical, haematology/oncology and intensive care teams provided care for the majority of the patients who died. A small number of diagnoses had in-patient mortality rates of greater than 25%. These included respiratory failure, alcoholic liver disease, vascular disorders of the intestine, sepsis and aspiration pneumonia. Over 75% of patients who received a RRT call survived to hospital discharge; however, patients who received four or more RRT calls during admission had an in-hospital mortality rate of over 40%. CONCLUSION Acute in-patient mortality is unequally distributed throughout the hospital, and a small number of diagnoses has large associated in-patient mortality rates. Repeated involvement of the RRT is associated with in-patient mortality.

Abstract
In the context of lung transplant (LT), because of diagnostic difficulties, antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) remains a matter of debate. We retrospectively analyzed an LT cohort at Foch Hospital to demonstrate the impact of AMR on LT prognosis. AMR diagnosis requires association of clinical symptoms, donor-specific antibodies (DSAs), and C4d(+) staining and/or histological patterns consistent with AMR. Prospective categorization split patients into four groups: (i) DSA positive, AMR positive (DSA(pos) AMR(pos) ); (ii) DSA positive, AMR negative (DSA(pos) AMR(neg) ); (iii) DSA limited, AMR negative (DSA(Lim) ; equal to one specificity, with mean fluorescence intensity of 500-1000 once); and (iv) DSA negative, AMR negative (DSA(neg) ). AMR treatment consisted of a combination of plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin and rituximab. Among 206 transplanted patients, 10.7% were DSA(pos) AMR(pos) (n = 22), 40.3% were DSA(pos) AMR(neg) (n = 84), 6% were DSA(Lim) (n = 13) and 43% were DSA(neg) (n = 88). Analysis of acute cellular rejection at month 12 showed higher cumulative numbers (mean plus or minus standard deviation) in the DSA(pos) AMR(pos) group (2.1 ± 1.7) compared with DSA(pos) AMR(neg) (1 ± 1.2), DSA(Lim) (0.75 ± 1), and DSA(neg) (0.7 ± 1.23) groups. Multivariate analysis demonstrated AMR as a risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (hazard ratio [HR] 8.7) and graft loss (HR 7.56) for DSA(pos) AMR(pos) patients. Our results show a negative impact of AMR on LT clinical course and advocate for an early active diagnostic approach and evaluation of therapeutic strategies to improve prognosis.

Abstract
Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) effectively replaces the lung in providing oxygenation and carbon dioxide (CO2) removal. For some years, and in parallel to the H1N1 influenza pandemic, this technique has gained interest in relation to significant technological improvements, leading to new concepts of "awake and mobile ECMO" or rehabilitation with ECMO. Finally, the publication of randomized controlled trials giving encouraging results in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has helped to validate this technique and further studies are warranted. This general review aims to outline the definition, classification and principles of ECMO and to give some current information about the indications and possibilities of the technique to the pulmonologist and intensivist. Further possible uses for this technique include extra-corporeal removal of CO2 during hypercapnic respiratory failure and assistance during lung transplantation from the preoperative to the early postoperative period.

Abstract
This case-report focused on the occurrence of a crisis of malignant hyperthermia on a young biker (21 y.o.) victim of a severe traffic accident. This observation gives some key points: the delayed occurrence of the crisis after 4 hours of surgery, the multi-factorial events that triggered the crisis; the choice to perform a quick diagnosis through gene analysis in comparison to the standard tests of caffeine on a muscular biopsy. These different points are discussed with a proposal of algorithm in the situation.

Abstract
We report the case of a stroke due to a ballistic thoracic traumatism. The vascular injury, provoked by the passage of the bullet, associated to a procoagulating state led to the formation of a thrombus in the ascending aorta. The migration of this thrombus caused a stroke, finally reversible upon medical treatment only.

Abstract
Blunt chest trauma typically occurs as part of polytrauma, usually secondary to motor vehicle accidents, sports related injuries or defenestration in Western Europe. Each chest compartment may be responsible for immediate and/or delayed complications, thus requiring a dedicated systematic and comprehensive analysis. The use of image post-processing is mandatory in order to not overlook a potentially severe injury. The purpose of this paper is to review the technical considerations of multidetector CT, and the imaging features and interpretation method for each chest compartment, in order to generate an adapted report.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although many physiological and pathological conditions affect minimal alveolar concentration (MAC), there are no reliable data on the MAC for halogenated anaesthetics during left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and congestive heart failure (CHF). The aim of this experimental study was to determine the MAC values of halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane in rats, at early and later stages of cardiomyopathic hypertrophy. METHODS LVH was induced by ascending aortic stenosis in 3-4-week-old rats. LVH and CHF in each animal were assessed weekly by echocardiography. MAC of halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane was determined using the tail-clamp technique in spontaneously breathing rats from each group. Response vs no-response data were analysed using logistic regression analysis. Data are medians (95% confidence interval). RESULTS The MAC of halothane [1.30% (1.26-1.34)], isoflurane [1.52% (1.48-1.57)], and sevoflurane [2.93% (2.78-3.07)] in rats with LVH was not different from sham-operated rats [respectively, 1.23% (1.20-1.26), 1.52% (1.47-1.56), and 2.90% (2.79-3.00)]. Conversely, the MAC of halothane [1.44 (1.39-1.50)] and isoflurane [1.74 (1.69-1.78)], but not sevoflurane [2.99 (2.93-3.06)], was significantly increased in rats with CHF. CONCLUSIONS MAC values for halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane were unchanged in rats with pressure-induced overload LVH. Conversely, the MAC for halothane and isoflurane, but not sevoflurane, was significantly increased in rats with CHF.

Abstract
The benefit of therapeutic hypothermia after severe head injury is highly controversial. However, hypothermia is still used and studied in this context for multiple reasons. Efficacy of hypothermia is demonstrated after cerebral ischemia in numerous animal studies and after cardiac arrest in human studies. Hyperthermia is a major independent factor of outcome after cerebral ischemic or traumatic brain injury. Moreover, ICP is related to core temperature, and hypothermia may be used to decrease intracranial hypertension. However, many questions are still unresolved and can explain discrepancies between clinical studies: direct measurement of cerebral temperature, relationship between ICP, temperature and PaCO(2), level and duration of hypothermia and precise methods for cooling and particularly for rewarming.
