Can We Predict Good Survival Outcomes by Classifying Initial and Re-Arrest Rhythm Change Patterns in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Settings?
- Abstract
- Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a change in prehospital arrest rhythms could allow medical personnel to predict survival outcomes in patients who achieved a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the setting of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods The design of this study was retrospective, multi-regional, observational, and cross-sectional with a determining period between August 2015and July 2016. Cardiac arrest rhythms were defined as a shockable rhythm (S), which refers to ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT), and non-shockable rhythm (NS), which refers to pulseless electrical activity or asystole. Survival to admission, survival to discharge, and good cerebral performance category (CPC) (CPC 1 or 2) were defined as good survival outcomes. Results A total of 163 subjects were classified into four groups according to the rhythm change pattern: NS→NS (98), S→S (27), S→NS (23), and NS→S (15). NS→NS pattern was used as the reference in logistic regression analysis. In the case of survival to hospital admission, the odds ratio (OR) (95% CI)of the S→S pattern was the highest [12.63 (3.56-44.85), p: <0.001 by no correction] and [7.29 (1.96-27.10), p = 0.003 with adjusting].In the case of survival to hospital discharge, the OR (95% CI) of the S→S pattern was the highest [37.14 (11.71-117.78), p: <0.001 by no correction] and [13.85 (3.69-51.97), p: <0.001 with adjusting]. In the case of good CPC (CPC 1 or 2) at discharge, the OR (95% CI) of the S→S pattern was the highest [96 (19.14-481.60), p: <0.001 by no correction] and [149.69 (19.51-1148.48), p: <0.001 with adjusting]. Conclusions The S→S group showed the highest correlation with survival to hospital admission, survival to hospital discharge, and good CPC (CPC 1 or 2) at discharge compared to the NS→NS group. Verifying changes in initial cardiac arrest rhythm and prehospital re-arrest (RA) rhythm patterns after prehospital ROSC can help us predict good survival outcomes in the OHCA setting.
