Aims During the first 6–12 h of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, post-cardiac arrest (CA) patients treated with a mean arterial pressure (MAP) 65 mmHg target experience a drop of the cerebral oxygenation that may cause additional cerebral damage. Therefore, we investigated whether an early goal directed haemodynamic optimization strategy (EGDHO) (MAP 85–100 mmHg, SVO2 65–75%) is safe and could improve cerebral oxygenation, reduce anoxic brain damage, and improve outcome when compared with a MAP 65 mmHg strategy. Methods and results A total of 112 out-of-hospital CA patients were randomly assigned to EGDHO or MAP 65 mmHg strategies during the first 36 h of ICU stay. The primary outcome was the extent of anoxic brain damage as quantified by the percentage of voxels below an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) score of 650.10−6 mm2/s on diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (at day 5 ± 2 post-CA). Main secondary outcome was favourable neurological outcome (CPC score 1–2) at 180 days. In patients assigned to EGDHO, MAP (P < 0.001), and cerebral oxygenation during the first 12 h of ICU stay (P = 0.04) were higher. However, the percentage of voxels below an ADC score of 650.10−6 mm2/s did not differ between both groups [16% vs. 12%, odds ratio 1.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.95–0.98; P = 0.09]. Also, the number of patients with favourable neurological outcome at 180 days was similar (40% vs. 38%, odds ratio 0.98, 95% CI 0.41–2.33; P = 0.96). The number of serious adverse events was lower in patients assigned to EGDHO (P = 0.02). Conclusion Targeting a higher MAP in post-CA patients was safe and improved cerebral oxygenation but did not improve the extent of anoxic brain damage or neurological outcome.

Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy non-invasively measures regional cerebral oxygen saturation. Intraoperative cerebral desaturations have been associated with worse neurological outcomes. We investigated whether perioperative cerebral desaturations are associated with postoperative delirium in older patients after cardiac surgery. Methods: Patients aged 70 yr and older scheduled for on-pump cardiac surgery were included between 2015 and 2017 in a single-centre, prospective, observational study. Baseline cerebral oxygen saturation was measured 1 day before surgery. Throughout surgery and after ICU admission, cerebral oxygen saturation was monitored continuously up to 72 h after operation. The presence of delirium was assessed using the confusion assessment method for the ICU. Association with delirium was evaluated with unadjusted analyses and multivariable logistic regression. Results: Ninety-six of 103 patients were included, and 29 (30%) became delirious. Intraoperative cerebral oxygen saturation was not significantly associated with postoperative delirium. The lowest postoperative cerebral oxygen saturation was lower in patients who became delirious (P¼0.001). The absolute and relative postoperative cerebral oxygen saturation decreases were more marked in patients with delirium (13 [6]% and 19 [9]%, respectively) compared with patients without delirium (9 [4]% and 14 [5]%; P¼0.002 and P¼0.001, respectively). These differences in cerebral oxygen saturation were no longer present after excluding cerebral oxygen saturation values after patients became delirious. Older age, previous stroke, higher EuroSCORE II, lower preoperative Mini-Mental Status Examination, and more substantial absolute postoperative cerebral oxygen saturation decreases were independently associated with postoperative delirium incidence. Conclusions: Postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery is associated with absolute decreases in postoperative cerebral oxygen saturation. These differences appear most detectable after the onset of delirium. Clinical trial registration: NCT02532530.
Regional cerebral saturation measurements can be used during pre-hospital ALS as an additional marker to predict ROSC. An increase of at least 15% in rSO during ALS is associated with a higher probability of ROSC.
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to elucidate the possible role of cerebral saturation monitoring in the post-cardiac arrest setting.MethodsCerebral tissue saturation (SctO2) was measured in 107 successfully resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients for 48 hours between 2011 and 2015. All patients were treated with targeted temperature management, 24 hours at 33 °C and rewarming at 0.3 °C per hour. A threshold analysis was performed as well as a linear mixed models analysis for continuous SctO2 data to compare the relation between SctO2 and favorable (cerebral performance category (CPC) 1–2) and unfavorable outcome (CPC 3–4–5) at 180 days post-cardiac arrest in OHCA patients.ResultsOf the 107 patients, 50 (47 %) had a favorable neurological outcome at 180 days post-cardiac arrest. Mean SctO2 over 48 hours was 68 % ± 4 in patients with a favorable outcome compared to 66 % ± 5 for patients with an unfavorable outcome (p = 0.035). No reliable SctO2 threshold was able to predict favorable neurological outcome. A significant different course of SctO2 was observed, represented by a logarithmic and linear course of SctO2 in patients with favorable outcome and unfavorable outcome, respectively (p < 0.001). During the rewarming phase, significant higher SctO2 values were observed in patients with a favorable neurological outcome (p = 0.046).ConclusionsThis study represents the largest post-resuscitation cohort evaluated using NIRS technology, including a sizeable cohort of balloon-assisted patients. Although a significant difference was observed in the overall course of SctO2 between OHCA patients with a favorable and unfavorable outcome, the margin was too small to likely represent functional outcome differentiation based on SctO2 alone. As such, these results given such methodology as performed in this study suggest that NIRS is insufficient by itself to serve in outcome prognostication, but there may remain benefit when incorporated into a multi-neuromonitoring bedside assessment algorithm.
BackgroundPost-cardiac arrest (CA) patients are at risk of secondary ischemic damage in the case of suboptimal brain oxygenation during an ICU stay. We hypothesized that elevated central venous pressures (CVP) would impair cerebral perfusion and oxygenation (venous cerebral congestion). The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between CVP, cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) as assessed with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and outcome in post-CA patients.MethodsThis was an observational study in 48 post-CA patients with continuous CVP and SctO2 monitoring during therapeutic hypothermia.ResultsThe relationship between CVP and mean SctO2 was best described by an S-shaped, third-degree polynomial regression curve (SctO2 = −0.002 × CVP3 + 0.08 × CVP2 – 1.07 × CVP + 69.78 %, R2 0.89, n = 1,949,108 data points) with high CVP (>20 mmHg) being associated with cerebral desaturation. Multivariate linear regression revealed CVP to be a more important determinant of SctO2 than mean arterial pressure (MAP) without important interaction between both (SctO2 = 0.01 × MAP – 0.20 × CVP + 0.001 × MAP × CVP + 65.55 %). CVP and cardiac output were independent determinants of SctO2 with some interaction between both (SctO2 = 1.86 × CO – 0.09 × CVP – 0.05 × CO × CVP + 60.04 %). Logistic regression revealed that a higher percentage of time with CVP above 5 mmHg was associated with lower chance of survival with a good neurological outcome (cerebral performance category (CPC) 1–2) at 180 days (OR 0.96, 95 % CI 0.92–1.00, p = 0.04). In a multivariate model, the negative association between CVP and outcome persisted after correction for hemodynamic variables, including ejection fraction and MAP.ConclusionsElevated CVP results in lower brain saturation and is associated with worse outcome in post-CA patients. This pilot study provides support that venous cerebral congestion as indicated by high CVP may be detrimental for post-CA patients.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13054-016-1297-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
