Reversible myocardial dysfunction in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Abstract: In survivors of OHCA, hemodynamic instability requiring administration of vasoactive drugs is frequent and appears several hours after hospital admission. It is characterized by a low CI that is reversible in most cases within 24 h, suggesting post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction. Early death by multiorgan failure is associated with a persistent low CI at 24 h.

“…There are some studies that report VO 2 after CA using the Fick method in rats,40, 41 but the reported post‐CA VO 2 was either comparable to or lower than the baseline measurements or reference values in those studies. However, none of these studies measured VCO 2 , thus the RQ values remain unknown.…”

“…Persistent myocardial dysfunction can lead to multisystem organ failure soon after cardiac arrest. 34 Optimization of ventilation and oxygenation is also important. Hyperventilation should not be used because it can cause secondary brain ischemia in post-cardiac arrest patients.…”

“…Th is eff ect consists of a transient reduction in myocardial performance from pre-arrest levels, which is commonly observed after ROSC [14]. In a study by Laurent et al [15], post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction occurred in 73/165 (44%) patients resuscitated from out of-hospital cardiac arrest. Persistent dysfunction was associated with early death from multiorgan failure.…”
