Targeted temperature management after intraoperative cardiac arrest: a multicenter retrospective study.
Intensive Care Medicine 2017 April
PURPOSE: Few outcome data are available about temperature management after intraoperative cardiac arrest (IOCA). We describe targeted temperature management (TTM) (32-34 °C) modalities, adverse events, and association with 1-year functional outcome in patients with IOCA.
METHODS: Patients admitted to 11 ICUs after IOCA in 2008-2013 were studied retrospectively. The main outcome measure was 1-year functional outcome.
RESULTS: Of the 101 patients [35 women and 66 men; median age, 62 years (interquartile range, 42-72)], 68 (67.3%) were ASA PS I to III and 57 (56.4%) had emergent surgery. First recorded rhythms were asystole in 44 (43.6%) patients, pulseless electrical activity in 36 (35.6%), and ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia in 20 (19.8%). Median times from collapse to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) were 0 min (0-0) and 10 min (4-20), respectively. The 30 (29.7%) patients who received TTM had an increased risk of infection (P = 0.005) but not of arrhythmia, bleeding, or metabolic/electrolyte disorders. By multivariate analysis, one or more defibrillation before ROSC was positively associated with a favorable functional outcome at 1-year (OR 3.06, 95% CI 1.05-8.95, P = 0.04) and emergency surgery was negatively associated with 1-year favorable functional outcome (OR 0.36; 95% CI 0.14-0.95, P = 0.038). TTM use was not independently associated with 1-year favorable outcome (OR 0.82; 95% CI 0.27-2.46, P = 0.72).
CONCLUSIONS: TTM was used in less than one-third of patients after IOCA. TTM was associated with infection but not with bleeding or coronary events in this setting. TTM did not independently predict 1-year favorable functional outcome after IOCA in this study.
