Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Feasibility of computer-aided aortic occlusion catheter in non-traumatic cardiac arrest
Authors' conclusion
A computer-aided automated aortic occlusion catheter can be safely implanted with a high success rate with regards to procedure time during ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients suffering from cardiac arrest of non-traumatic origin.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with non-traumatic in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
- Participants
- 10 patients
- Outcome
- Successful balloon inflation within 10 min from first vessel puncture
Methodological details2 German tertiary care hospitals
- 2 German tertiary care hospitals
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Primary endpoint achieved
- eight out of nine
- Mean time from first vessel puncture to total aortic balloon occlusion
- 5.4 min (±2.5 min)
Further findings
Successful balloon implantation
- Balloon successfully implanted
- ten out of ten (100 %)
BP increase during resuscitation after 2 min of aortic occlusion (in 80 % of patients) · after two minutes of aortic occlusion
mmHg
- SBP increase
- 24.6 (baseline mean: 44.1 mmHg)
- DBP increase
- 7.3 (baseline mean: 23.4 mmHg)
- Mean arterial BP increase
- 13.0 (baseline mean: 30.3 mmHg)
Safety
Primary composite safety endpoint
- Composite safety endpoint evident (renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy)
- 1 patient
