SELECTED NEW AND UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS: ADULT BLS AND CPR QUALITY More details from Ben Bobrow and Dana Edelson tomorrow

CHEST COMPRESSION RATE: UPDATED Recommendation: • Compression rate: 100120/minute (2010: at least 100/min). Why?

CHEST COMPRESSION RATE: UPDATED Recommendation: • Compression rate: 100120/minute (2010: at least 100/min). Why? • Absolute number of compressions delivered/minute linked with survival. • Actual compression rate often well below 100/minute. • Rates below 100/min or above 120/min adversely affect outcomes.

COMPRESSION RATE AND SURVIVAL TO DISCHARGE (Idriss et al, Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium data, Circulation,

COMPRESSION RATE AND SURVIVAL TO DISCHARGE (Idriss et al, Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium data, Circulation, 2012) • Observational study December, 2005 May, 2007 • Sharp decline in survival with average rate >140/min • Rate of 100 -120/min reasonable GOLDILOCKS images CAKRNLWX. jpg Optimal rate (“sweet spot”? ) Adjusted cubic spline depicting the relationship between average chest compression rates and probability of survival to hospital discharge

RAPID COMPRESSION RATE CAN COMPROMISE DEPTH Height of dark grey column indicates percent of compressions less than 3. 8 cm rises substantially when compression rate 140/min or higher. Idris et al, Critical Care Medicine, 2015: 43 (4): 840

ADULT CHEST COMPRESSION DEPTH: UPDATED Recommendation: Push Hard • Compress at least 2 inches

ADULT CHEST COMPRESSION DEPTH: UPDATED Recommendation: Push Hard • Compress at least 2 inches (5 cm) for average adult • Avoid excessive compression depth ie, greater than 2. 4 inches (6 cm) Why? – Small study: more injuries with compressions greater than 2. 4 inches (6 cm). (Hellevuo et al, Resuscitation, 2013) Note: • Difficult to judge depth without devices • Rescuers typically don’t “push hard” enough

CAN COMPRESSIONS BE TOO DEEP? N = 170 adult patients; 110 males, 60 females

IMPEDANCE THRESHOLD DEVICES: UPDATED Recommendation: • The routine use of the ITD as a CPR adjunct is not recommended. • The combination of ITD + ACD CPR may be a reasonable alternative with available equipment and properly trained personnel. Why? • A large high-quality randomized trial (N = 8718) failed to demonstrate improvement using the ITD vs sham. • The one + randomized clinical trial (N = 2738) of ITD +ACD CPR plus quality feedback regarding rate, depth and recoil showed improvement vs conventional CPR (no ITD and no quality feedback).

AHA RECOMMENDATION CLASSIFICATION: NEW CLASS III “Class III, No Benefit” recommendation requires high-quality/level study

VASOPRESSORS IN CARDIAC ARREST Recommendation: • Vasopressin deleted from ACLS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm. Why?

VASOPRESSORS IN CARDIAC ARREST Recommendation: • Vasopressin deleted from ACLS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm. Why? • No benefit of vasopressin + epinephrine vs epinephrine alone Recommendation • Reasonable to administer epinephrine as soon as feasible after the cardiac arrest with initial nonshockable rhythm Why? • In large observational study, better outcome (increased ROSC, survival to hospital discharge, and neurologically intact survival) associated with earlier epinephrine for cardiac arrest with nonshockable rhythms.

SELECTED NEW AND UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS: POST-CARDIAC ARREST CARE More details from Farhan Bhanji and Allan de Caen Thursday, Concurrent Session

POST-CARDIAC ARREST ELEMENTS OF CARE: UPDATED • Emergent coronary angiography: • Should be performed

POST-CARDIAC ARREST ELEMENTS OF CARE: UPDATED • Emergent coronary angiography: • Should be performed after OHCA with suspected cardiac etiology and ST elevation • May be reasonable after OHCA with cardiac etiology for patients comatose but without ST elevation. • Reasonable where indicated (comatose or awake) • Targeted temperature management • Avoid and correct hypotension (systolic BP < 90 mm Hg or mean arterial pressure < 65 mm Hg)

TARGETED TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT (TTM) • TTM recommended for patients comatose following ROSC from •

TARGETED TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT (TTM) • TTM recommended for patients comatose following ROSC from • TTM: select, maintain (for 24+ hours) constant temperature between 32°C and 36°C • If patient still comatose: continue TTM beyond 24 hours by actively preventing fever. • Routine prehospital cooling of patients with rapid infusion of cold IV fluids is not recommended (no benefit, possible complications)

KEY NEW AND UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS: PALS More details from Vinay Nadkarni, Dianne Atkins, Wendy Simon Tomorrow (Wednesday), Concurrent Session

FLUID THERAPY WITH FEBRILE ILLNESS VS SHOCK Recommendation: • For children with febrile illness

FLUID THERAPY WITH FEBRILE ILLNESS VS SHOCK Recommendation: • For children with febrile illness in settings with limited access to critical care resources, administration of bolus IV fluid should be undertaken with extreme caution • Administration of IV fluids to children with septic shock still emphasized. • Individualize therapy with frequent reassessment Why? • In trial of children with severe febrile illnesses in resource-limited settings with limited access to critical care (eg, mechanical ventilation, inotropic support) bolus IV fluids could be harmful

ATROPINE NO LONGER ROUTINE PREMEDICATION FOR EMERGENT INTUBATION Why? • No evidence to support

ATROPINE NO LONGER ROUTINE PREMEDICATION FOR EMERGENT INTUBATION Why? • No evidence to support the routine use of atropine as a premedication to prevent bradycardia during emergent intubation. • No evidence to support minimum dose of atropine for premedication • Note that recommendation for use of atropine for treatment of bradycardia is unchanged.

AMIODARONE OR LIDOCAINE FOR PEDIATRIC VT/VF ARREST • Amiodarone and lidocaine are equally acceptable

AMIODARONE OR LIDOCAINE FOR PEDIATRIC VT/VF ARREST • Amiodarone and lidocaine are equally acceptable for VF/p. VT, so both are included in PALS Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Algorithm. Note that amiodarone is not yet cleared by the FDA for labeling for use in pediatric cardiac arrest.

TARGETED TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT IN CHILDREN Recommended • For children comatose following ROSC: -5 days

TARGETED TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT IN CHILDREN Recommended • For children comatose following ROSC: -5 days normothermia (36°C - 37. 5°C) OR --2 days continuous hypothermia (32°C - 34°C), then 3 days normothermia • Prevent or aggressively treat fever during post-cardiac arrest care Why?

ASSESSMENT OF HEART RATE AND OXYGENATION Recommendation • 3 -lead ECG more rapid and accurate than pulse oximetry to assess HR • Pulse oximetry still needed to evaluate oxygenation

UMBILICAL CORD MANAGEMENT: DELAYED CORD CLAMPING Recommendation • Delayed cord clamping after 30 seconds

UMBILICAL CORD MANAGEMENT: DELAYED CORD CLAMPING Recommendation • Delayed cord clamping after 30 seconds suggested for both term and preterm infants if resuscitation not required Why? • Beneficial effects include less intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), higher BP and blood volume, less need for transfusion, less necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)

INFANTS BORN THROUGH MECONIUMSTAINED AMNIOTIC FLUID: UPDATED Recommendation • When infant born through meconium-stained

INFANTS BORN THROUGH MECONIUMSTAINED AMNIOTIC FLUID: UPDATED Recommendation • When infant born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid is non-vigorous with inadequate breathing efforts, rescuers should perform routine steps of resuscitation Why? • No evidence immediate routine suctioning beneficial • Potential harm in delaying bag-mask ventilation

LOW ETCO 2 ONE ELEMENT PREDICTING FAILED RESUCITATION? Recommendation: • In intubated patients, failure

LOW ETCO 2 ONE ELEMENT PREDICTING FAILED RESUCITATION? Recommendation: • In intubated patients, failure to achieve an ETCO 2 greater than 10 mm Hg by waveform capnography after 20 minutes of CPR may be one component of multimodal approach to decide when to end resuscitative efforts • Efforts should be made to optimize CPR quality Why? • Failure to achieve an ETCO 2 greater than 10 mm Hg after 20 minutes has been associated with poor outcome in case series • Low ETCO 2 likely indicates very low cardiac output and pulmonary blood flow during CPR

ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROMES (ACS) Reperfusion Recommendations • Prehospital triage and transport to a PCI

ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROMES (ACS) Reperfusion Recommendations • Prehospital triage and transport to a PCI center may be preferred to prehospital fibrinolysis • Immediate transfer without fibrinolysis to a PCI center when STEMI occurs in a non. PCI capable hospital Why? • Slightly lower incidence of intracranial hemorrhage with primary PCI
