Filter by:The prevalence of cardiac arrests is still high worldwide. Despite the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), mortality and morbidity in post cardiac arrest patients is reported high. Comprehensive management is essential in treating patients with post cardiac arrest syndrome. Adequate circulatory stability is achieved with fluid therapy, vasoactive drug therapy, and consideration of mechanical support. Intra-Aortic Ballon Pump (IABP) is one of the most feasible and available mechanical support in developing countries including Indonesia. There are several benefits of IABP reported in acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock. Nevertheless, the IABP-SHOCK II study revealed contradictive result which is IABP support was not improving mortality in acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock after revascularization. Other study, Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR), also reported no benefits of IABP support in cardiogenic shock patients. But, the study the investigators mentioned earlier is a registry study, attributed to selection bias and several confounding factors resulting mismatch in population. There are no consideration to IABP time of initiation and duration of use in both studies. The Investigator is aiming to prove the early insertion of IABP to a better outcome compared with the absence of early IABP. The objective of the study is to assess mortality in post cardiac arrest syndrome patients with early insertion of IABP support. A total of 102 subjects will be enrolled in this study, divided into IABP and non-IABP group. The primary outcome is in-hopital-mortality, and various indicators in the pathomechanisme of post cardiac arrest syndrome will be measured in 30 minutes and 6 hours after ROSC. Effective lactate clearance, IL-6, Beclin-1, Caspase-3, a-vO2 diff, and ScvO2, cardiac output, VTI, TAPSE and ejection fraction will be measured and analized between the two groups.
This prospective single-centre randomized control trial aims at evaluating the safety and efficacy of hemoadsorption with CytoSorb® in 40 patients with Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome admitted to the ICU.
XePOHCAS: Prospective, randomized, multicenter interventional trial in adult subjects with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest comparing treatment with standard-of-care post-cardiac arrest intensive care (which is targeted temperature management [TTM]) to xenon by inhalation plus standard-of-care post-cardiac arrest intensive care (including TTM).
This study includes comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest treated with 24 hours or 48 hours of targeted temperature management. The overall aim is to evaluate the importance of plasma complement protein concentrations in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and treated with 24 hours or 48 hours of targeted temperature management. The specific aim is to evaluate: - the concentration of plasma lectin pathway proteins the first, second and third day after cardiac arrest - the relation between concentration of plasma lectin pathway proteins and mortality - if prolonged targeted temperature management influences the concentration of plasma lectin pathway proteins This study is a sub-study to the trial entitled: "Time-differentiated targeted temperature management (TTH48) (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01689077)" The following Complement Lectin Pathway proteins will be measured: Mannan-Binding-Lectin, M-ficolin, H-ficolin, CL-L1, MASP-1, MASP-2, MASP-3, MAp19 and MAp44.
To evaluate the significance of free-plasma deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and plasma histones in cardiac arrest patients.
This is a prospective, observational study to investigate molecular mechanisms mediating the systemic inflammatory process, and changes to metabolism, and their impact on brain injury, survival, and functional outcomes after cardiac arrest. Investigators have shown that cardiac arrest induces changes in the numbers and properties of circulating immune cells, shifting the balance towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype and there is increased interest in the inflammatory pathways and the signaling mechanisms through which they are modulated. Participants will undergo blood sampling during 7 days following cardiac arrest, and analyses performed. Patient characteristics, clinical circumstances, and outcomes will be recorded and their associations with these inflammatory pathways characterized.
