Tissue oxygenation index (TOI) using the near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been demonstrated as a useful indicator to predict return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in hospital setting. However, it has not been widely examined based on pre-hospital setting.
In this prospective observational study, we measured TOI in pre-hospital setting among OHCA patients receiving cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during ambulance transportation between 2017 and 2018. Throughout the pre-hospital CPR procedure, TOI was continuously measured. The study population was divided into two subgroups: ROSC group and non-ROSC group.
Of the 81 patients included in the final analysis, 26 achieved ROSC and 55 did not achieve ROSC. Patients in the ROSC group were significantly younger, had higher ∆TOI (changes in TOI) (5.8 % vs. 1.3 %; p < 0.01), and were more likely to have shockable rhythms and event witnessed than patients in the non-ROSC group. ∆TOI cut-off value of 5 % had highest sensitivity (65.4 %) and specificity (89.3 %) for ROSC. Patients with a cut-off value ≤-2.0 % did not achieve ROSC and while all OHCA patient with a cut-off value ≥ 8.0 % achieved ROSC. In addition, ROSC group had stronger positive correlation between mean chest compression rate and ∆TOI (r = 0.82) than non-ROSC group (r = 0.50).
This study suggests that ∆ TOI could be a useful indicator to predict ROSC in a pre-hospital setting.
近红外光谱(NIRS)的组织氧合指数(TOI)已被证明是预测医院外心脏骤停(OHCA)患者自主循环恢复(ROSC)的有用指标。然而,它在院外环境中尚未得到广泛研究。
在这项前瞻性观察性研究中,我们在 2017 年至 2018 年期间,在救护车转运期间对接受心肺复苏(CPR)的 OHCA 患者进行了院外环境中的 TOI 测量。在整个院外 CPR 过程中,连续测量 TOI。研究人群分为两个亚组:ROSC 组和非 ROSC 组。
在最终分析的 81 例患者中,26 例实现了 ROSC,55 例未实现 ROSC。ROSC 组患者明显更年轻,TOI 变化(∆TOI)更高(5.8%对 1.3%;p<0.01),且更有可能出现可除颤节律和目击者事件,而非 ROSC 组患者则较少。∆TOI 截断值为 5%时对 ROSC 具有最高的敏感性(65.4%)和特异性(89.3%)。截断值≤-2.0%的患者未实现 ROSC,而所有截断值≥8.0%的 OHCA 患者均实现了 ROSC。此外,ROSC 组的平均胸外按压率与 ∆TOI 之间的相关性更强(r=0.82),而非 ROSC 组(r=0.50)。
本研究表明,∆TOI 可能是预测院外环境中 ROSC 的有用指标。
