Effect of intra-arrest trans-nasal evaporative cooling in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a pooled individual participant data analysis

Abstract: Background Randomized trials have shown that trans-nasal evaporative cooling initiated during CPR (i.e. intra-arrest) effectively lower core body temperature in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. However, these trials may have been underpowered to detect significant differences in neurologic outcome, especially in patients with initial shockable rhythm. Methods We conducted a post hoc pooled analysis of individual data from two randomized tri… Show more

“…The main findings from this post hoc analysis are in line with previous publications [ 14 , 15 ]; however, these findings also provide additional evidence to the existing literature. In particular, we evaluated the effects of TNEC only in admitted patients [ 16 ].…”

“…The lack of statistically significant differences between groups might suggest that this analysis was underpowered; as such, future trials’ design and sample size calculation should consider these findings to develop an adequate cohort to test the effectiveness of TNEC in this setting. As in previous publications, most of the benefits of intra-arrest cooling was observed in patients with an initial shockable rhythm [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Interestingly, these data do not coincide with those from a previous randomized trial, showing an improvement in neurological outcome when TTM was applied in comatose survivors after cardiac arrest with non-shockable rhythm, when compared to targeted normothermia [ 7 ].…”

“…So mag bei Patienten mit beobachtetem Kreislaufstillstand, durch-geführter Laienreanimation und eher kurzer Reanimationsdauer eine reine Fiebervermeidungsstrategie gegenüber einer Hypothermietherapie nicht von Nachteil sein. Andererseits gibt es weiterhin ausreichend Hinweise, dass Patienten mit einem hohen Risiko für eine hypoxischischämische Enzephalopathie von einer hochqualitativen und frühzeitig eingeleiteten Hypothermietherapie profitieren können [23,24].…”

“…Targeted temperature management remains an important intervention that may influence survival with good neurological function among cardiac arrest patients [ 16 ]. In particular, intra-arrest cooling using trans-nasal evaporative cooling may provide some benefits on neurologic recovery in patients with initial shockable rhythms (i.e., ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia) [ 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Trans-nasal evaporative intra-arrest cooling has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in OHCA [ 18 , 20 , 21 ].…”
