Cardiac arrest & resuscitation

The association of arterial blood pressure waveform-derived area duty cycle with intra-arrest hemodynamics and cardiac arrest outcomes

ResuscitationPublished Secondary analysis of the ICU-RESUS randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In this multicenter cohort, a lower ABP-ADC was associated with higher sBPs during CPR.

Study context

Population
Paediatric in-hospital CPR events with invasive arterial waveform data (ICU-RESUS trial)of 1129 CPR events
Participants
273 events
Comparison

  • Retrospective
  • Prospectively collected data
  • Multicenter

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Higher ABP-ADC associated with lower SBP (univariable)
p < 0.01
Higher ABP-ADC associated with failing to achieve SBP targets (univariable)
p < 0.01

Secondary outcomes

OutcomePoint estimate (mmHg) (95% CI)P value
SBP, ABP-ADC <33% vs ≥33% (exploratory multivariable)13.18 (5.30–21.07)P < 0.01
  • SBP, ABP-ADC <33% vs ≥33% (exploratory multivariable): higher SBP; cut point 33% by spline/ROC and clinical judgement

Other intra-arrest physiologic parameters, CPR quality metrics, patient outcomes

Similar across ABP-ADC groups

SBP, ABP-ADC <33% vs ≥33% (exploratory multivariable)

Other intra-arrest physiologic and patient outcomes similar
