  1. Pediatric Cardiac Arrest: Old Evidence and New Guidelines Tim Lynch, MD April, 2001

  2. Resuscitation • Reanimation (Fr) • Resuscitare (L) – the restoration of life of one apparently dead

  3. Case Study • A 5-year old girl is brought to your emergency department by paramedics after being found at home to be apneic, and pulseless. She has received only BVM ventilation and chest compressions en route.

  4. Case Study: Questions/Objectives • Why do children arrest? • What are the likely outcomes of these children? • What’s your dose of epinephrine and why? • What are these new agents and when do we use them?

  22. The Resuscitation

  23. Outcome of children who are apneic and pulseless in the emergency roomO’Rourke P, Crit Care Med 1986;14:466-468 • 27 died in the ICU • 7 due to cardiovascular instability • 20 removed from life support diagnosed with brain death • 7 discharged from the ICU to chronic care • 4 were victims of near drowning • 2 vegetative; 1died secondary to obstructed trach • 1 functioning at 9 mo level at age 4 • 2 with upper airway obstruction - both vegetative • 1 with blunt chest trauma - vegetative

  24. Results of inpatient pediatric resuscitationGillis, J et al. Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471 • Retrospective review of arrests at HSC over 1 year • outcomes at 6 months • predictive accuracy of variables considered to influence survival

  25. Results of inpatient pediatric resuscitationGillis, J et al. Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471 • Respiratory Arrest - cessation of breathing for longer than 1 minute without apparent loss of cardiac output • Cardiac Arrest - apneic with no cardiac output (no recordable BP or femoral pulse)

Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471 • 42 attempted resuscitations (9 - respiratory; 33 - cardiac) • 21 females and males; mean age 5.5 y • overall survival of 17 % (9% cardiac arrests) • 7 alive at 6 months - 1 with severe neurologic deficit

  28. Results of inpatient pediatric resuscitationGillis, J et al. Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471

  29. Results of inpatient pediatric resuscitationGillis, J et al. Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471 • All 33 % with pre-existing cardiac disease had a cardiac arrest • 30/33 with asystole • 3/33 with intractable ventricular fibrillation

  30. Results of inpatient pediatric resuscitationGillis, J et al. Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471

  31. Results of inpatient pediatric resuscitationGillis, J et al. Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471

  32. Results of inpatient pediatric resuscitationGillis, J et al. Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471 • Respiratory (4): • 2 with hydrocephalus and blocked shunts • 1 with lymphoma and 1 with cystic hygroma • Cardiac (3): • CCHD and arrythmia • esophageal atresia and recurrent aspiration • 3 yo girl with CCHD and pneumonia - arrested for 12 min and received epi once • spastic quadriplegia

  33. Results of inpatient pediatric resuscitationGillis, J et al. Crit Car Med 1986:14;469-471 • Respiratory arrests had better outcome • predictors of non-survival: • > 15 minutes of CPR • administration of more than 1 dose of epi

  34. What’s your dose of epinephrine and why?

  35. High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrestGoetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26 • Compared a prospectively treated high-dose epinephrine (HDE) study group with historical cohorts receiving conventional dose (SDE) with respect to the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)

  36. High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrestGoetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26 • 20 consecutive patients treated for cardiac arres who failed ROSC after 2 doses of SDE (0.01 mg/kg) five min apart were given HDE (o.2 mg/kg) in 1:10 000 for infants and 1:1000 for older patients

  37. High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrestGoetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26 • Iv line was flushed after each dose • atropine 0.01 mg/kg was given for bradycardia and asystole with each SDE • sodium bicarbonate 1 mEq/kg was administered between each SDE • all patients ventilated with 100 % O2

  38. High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrestGoetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26 • ROSC was defined as • a supraventricular rhythm with palpable pulses or • an invasive systolic pressure greater than 60 mm Hg

  39. High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrestGoetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26 • historic controls - • 20 consecutive children treated by the same author over 12 months • with witnessed arrests, • receiving ACLS within 5 min, and • receiving more than 2 SDE’s

  40. High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrestGoetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26 • 14 of HDE had ROSC within 5 minutes versus none of the controls (p<0.001) • all 14 responded with sinus tachycardia for at least 15 min • mild to moderate hypertension for 20 min in 8 • 10 placed on vasopressor drips

  41. High-dose epinephrine improves outcome from pediatric cardiac arrestGoetting MG et al, Ann Emerg Med 1991;20:22-26 • 14 survivors: • 8 survived to discharge: • 6 regained pre-arrest neurologic level • 3 developmentally normal 6 - 17 mo later (pulmonary contusions, hypovolemia, septic shock) • 3 regained severe pre-existing cognitive level • 2 with global cortical damage

  42. What are these new agents and when do we use them?

  43. New Guidelines • amiodarone • procainamide • lidocaine

  44. Amiodarone • Inhibits outward K current - prolongs QT • Inhibits Na channels - slows and conduction (prolongs QRS) • Non-competitive inhibitor of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors • secondary to sympathetic block - vasodilatation and AV nodal suppression Non-competitive

  45. Amiodarone • Most commonly used for ectopic atrial tachycardia or junctional ectopic tachycardia post cardiac surgery • 5 mg/kg loading infusion over minutes to 15 mg/kg/day • hypotension is the main adverse effect

  46. Procainamide • Sodium channel blocking agent - prolongs refractory period and depresses conduction velocity - prolonged QT and PR intervals • effective for atrial fibrillation and flutter, SVT, JET, and perfusing VT

  47. Procainamide • Must be given by slow infusion to avoid heart block, myocardial depression, and prolonged QT • 15 mg/kg over 30 to 60 min • stop infusion if hypotension or QRS widens to > 50 % of baseline

  48. Lidocaine • Not effective for ventricular arrhythmias in infants or children unless associated with focal myocardial ischemia • may be considered in shock-resistant VF or pulseless VT • 1 mg/kg bolus then 20 to 50 ug/kg/min

  49. IV, IO ET Asystole/ Pulseless Arrest Standard High First Dose 0.01 mg/kg 1:10000 0.1 mg/kg 1:1000 0.1 ml/kg 1:10000 0.1 ml/kg 1:1000 Repeat Doses High High Pediatric Epinephrine Dosing

  50. Epinephrine • Alpha and beta-adrenergic properties • Alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction • Increases aortic diastolic pressure and coronary perfusion
