The cardiac arrest problem • Out-of-hospital • US survival rate 11.4% • King County survival rate 52% • In-hospital • Estimated 6.7 per 1000 admissions • 200,000 patients/year • Neurologic damage • Survival to discharge 24.2% • Still room for improvement American Heart Association, http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/, accessed 8/27/13 EMS 2012 Annual Report, available at www.kingcounty.gov/health/ems, accessed 8/27/13
Standard of care AHA 2010 algorithm • CPR • Shock • Drugs • Epi 1mg q3-5min • Vasopressin 40 IU • Amio 300mg • Repeat 150mg • Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) American Heart Association, http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/, accessed 8/27/13
Challenging the Status Quo Vasopressin, steroids, and epinephrine and neurologically favorable survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest • Previous trial showed benefit • RCT, single center, n=100 • ↑ROSC, ↑survival to discharge, similar ADEs • Neurologically survival ≠ survival • Further investigate treatment algorithm • Published: JAMA - July 2013 Mentzelopoulos S, Malachias S, Chamos C, et al.

Discussion • Corticosteroids • Use is controversial • Adrenal dysfunction possible in shock • Not standard of practice for cardiac resuscitation • ↑ effect of epinephrine • ↑ effect of vasopressin • ↑ myocardial function post arrest • Other possibly beneficial effects • Anti-inflammatory • Increase fluid volume • ADEs Patel G, Balk R.

Summary • VSE • ↑ ROSC • ↑ Survival and neurologic outcomes • ↑ Hemodynamics • ↓ Organ failure • ? Corticosteroid complications • ↑ Insulin use • ↔ Hyperglycemia
Discussion • Can we safely apply these results to a US population? • Should we repeat this trial in King County? • What will the next AHA ACLS guidelines recommend? • Will they incorporate this data?
