Story at-a-glance Survival rates for cardiac arrest victims go down by 10% with each minute of delay Only 42% of bystanders perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in public settings despite over 350,000 Americans experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) annually Hands-only CPR (100 to 120 compressions per minute, 2 inches deep) is recommended for untrained bystanders, while health care workers should use the 30-to-2 compression-to-breath ratio Immediate actions during cardiac arrest include calling emergency services, locating an automated external defibrillator if available, and beginning CPR promptly without hesitation Heart attacks (arterial blockages affecting blood flow) differ from cardiac arrest (electrical problem causing arrhythmia), though heart attacks sometimes lead to cardiac arrest

Una revisión sistemática y metanálisis reciente publicada en Resuscitation nos ofrece nueva información que impacta directamente en cómo enseñamos y practicamos en entornos prehospitalarios y hospitalarios el acceso vascular intraóseo (IO) versus el intravenoso (IV). ¿Qué significa esto para los protocolos como ACLS, PALS y PHTLS? El Estudio: ¿Qué se Investigó y Por Qué Importa? En entornos de paro cardíaco, el acceso vascular rápido y eficaz es esencial para administrar medicamentos que pueden salvar vidas, como epinefrina y antiarrítmicos. La vía intravenosa (IV) ha sido el estándar de oro, pero puede ser difícil de obtener, especialmente en circunstancias prehospitalarias. Aquí es donde entra la vía intraósea (IO), una técnica que ofrece acceso rápido en huesos largos como la tibia proximal o el húmero proximal. Un reciente metanálisis evaluó la efectividad clínica del acceso IO frente al IV en adultos con paro cardíaco prehospitalario (OHCA). El análisis incluyó tres ensayos clínicos aleatorizados con más de 9,300 pacientes y examinó desenlaces críticos como la supervivencia a 30 días, el retorno de circulación espontánea (ROSC) y los resultados neurológicos. Resultados clave: La vía IO no mejoró la supervivencia a 30 días frente al acceso IV (OR 0.99). Tampoco mostró superioridad en desenlaces neurológicos favorables. El acceso IO tuvo menos probabilidades de lograr ROSC sostenido (OR 0.89). Sin embargo, ofreció tiempos de administración de medicamentos comparables, especialmente útil cuando el acceso IV no es posible. Esto plantea preguntas importantes: ¿Deberíamos priorizar siempre el acceso IV? ¿Qué rol tiene la vía IO en el manejo prehospitalario e intrahospitalario? Conexión con ACLS, PALS y PHTLS Los cursos de ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support), PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) y PHTLS (Prehospital Trauma Life Support) son pilares en la educación de profesionales de emergencias. Cada uno aborda el acceso vascular en sus respectivos contextos, pero las recomendaciones del estudio aportan matices que pueden enriquecer nuestra práctica clínica. ACLS: Perspectiva en Adultos ACLS enfatiza la importancia de establecer acceso vascular rápidamente para administrar medicamentos como la epinefrina durante el manejo avanzado del paro cardíaco. La guía de la AHA (American Heart Association) señala que: El acceso IV es preferido debido a su eficacia. Si el acceso IV no puede lograrse en 90 segundos, la vía IO es la mejor alternativa. Correlación con el estudio: Los hallazgos refuerzan la preferencia por el acceso IV, particularmente porque está asociado con mejores tasas de ROSC sostenido. Sin embargo, el IO sigue siendo fundamental en situaciones donde el acceso venoso periférico es difícil o inviable, especialmente en sistemas prehospitalarios con limitaciones de tiempo o recursos. PALS: Niños y Acceso Vascular En PALS, el acceso vascular rápido es igualmente crítico, pero los desafíos técnicos se amplifican en pacientes pediátricos debido al tamaño de las venas y el estado hemodinámico comprometido. Las guías recomiendan: Priorizar el acceso IV, pero no dudar en usar IO si es necesario. Relevancia del estudio: Aunque el metanálisis se centró en adultos, los resultados pueden extrapolarse parcialmente a niños mayores o adolescentes. Esto resalta la importancia de entrenar a los equipos pediátricos en ambas técnicas y asegurar que el acceso IO sea ejecutado con competencia cuando sea necesario. PHTLS: Soporte Vital en Trauma Prehospitalario En el entorno prehospitalario, como lo aborda PHTLS, el acceso vascular rápido puede ser aún más desafiante debido a condiciones como trauma severo, hipovolemia y paro prolongado. Aquí, el acceso IO es una herramienta crítica, particularmente en pacientes con colapso venoso. Impacto en PHTLS: El acceso IO demuestra su utilidad en situaciones de trauma donde el acceso IV no es factible. Por ejemplo, en pacientes con hemorragia masiva, el IO puede ser la única opción viable para administrar fluidos y medicamentos. El estudio subraya que, aunque la vía IV es ideal, la IO sigue siendo una técnica esencial en el arsenal prehospitalario, especialmente cuando cada segundo cuenta. ¿Por qué el acceso IO estuvo asociado a menor RCE? Los autores del metanálisis sugieren varias hipótesis que podrían explicar por qué el acceso intraóseo (IO) mostró una menor probabilidad de retorno de circulación espontánea (ROSC) sostenido en comparación con el acceso intravenoso (IV). Estas teorías están basadas en factores técnicos, fisiológicos y logísticos relacionados con el uso del IO en el contexto del paro cardíaco. A continuación, se detallan los puntos clave mencionados o inferidos: 1. Distribución subóptima de medicamentos Una de las hipótesis principales es que la administración de medicamentos a través de la vía IO puede resultar en una distribución menos eficiente en comparación con el acceso IV. Esto se debe a que los medicamentos administrados por IO deben pasar primero por la médula ósea, lo que podría ralentizar su absorción y disminuye la biodisponibilidad en el sistema circulatorio central. En particular, en el paro cardíaco, donde la perfusión tisular está gravemente comprometida, es posible que la circulación central no sea adecuada para transportar rápidamente los medicamentos desde el sitio IO hacia el corazón y el cerebro​​. 2. Diferencias en las presiones del flujo sanguíneo El acceso IO implica inyectar medicamentos en la médula ósea, donde la presión local puede variar significativamente dependiendo de factores como el sitio de inserción (p. ej., tibia proximal vs. húmero proximal). Si la presión dentro de la médula ósea no es suficiente para permitir un flujo eficiente hacia la circulación central, esto podría comprometer la eficacia de los medicamentos administrados​. 3. Posibles complicaciones técnicas Aunque la tasa de éxito inicial de colocación de IO fue alta (~94%), existe el riesgo de problemas técnicos, como: Mal posicionamiento de la aguja, lo que podría causar infiltración de medicamentos en los tejidos circundantes en lugar de ingresar a la médula ósea. Fallas en la confirmación del flujo libre (un paso crítico para verificar la correcta colocación del dispositivo IO). Interrupciones mecánicas o flujo restringido debido a la posición del paciente o a movimientos durante el transporte​. 4. Diferencias en los sitios de inserción Los estudios incluidos en el metanálisis utilizaron diferentes sitios de inserción para el acceso IO, como el húmero proximal o la tibia proximal. El acceso a través del húmero proximal generalmente proporciona un flujo más rápido hacia el corazón debido a la proximidad anatómica, pero no siempre fue el sitio elegido. Esto podría haber afectado los resultados observados en términos de ROSC sostenido​​. 5. Fisiopatología del paro cardíaco Durante el paro cardíaco, el flujo sanguíneo general está gravemente reducido, lo que limita la capacidad del sistema circulatorio para transportar medicamentos desde el sitio IO hacia los órganos diana, como el corazón y el cerebro. En este contexto, la vía IV, que administra directamente a las venas periféricas, podría ser más efectiva para proporcionar un acceso más directo y rápido​. 6. Impacto del tiempo de colocación y administración Aunque el tiempo de administración fue comparable entre IO e IV en los estudios analizados, cualquier retraso adicional en confirmar la correcta colocación o en administrar medicamentos a través del IO podría haber influido negativamente en la eficacia de los tratamientos, reduciendo las tasas de ROSC sostenido​. Implicaciones para la práctica clínica Los hallazgos resaltan la importancia de: Priorizar el acceso IV siempre que sea posible, dado su mejor desempeño en términos de ROSC sostenido. Entrenar al personal en el uso óptimo de dispositivos IO, incluyendo la elección adecuada del sitio de inserción (p. ej., húmero proximal) y la confirmación del flujo libre. Considerar las limitaciones fisiológicas del acceso IO al administrar medicamentos críticos durante el paro cardíaco. En resumen, la menor probabilidad de ROSC sostenido asociada al acceso IO parece deberse a una combinación de factores técnicos y fisiológicos. A pesar de esto, el acceso IO sigue siendo una herramienta crucial en situaciones donde el acceso IV no es factible o está significativamente retrasado. Fortaleciendo la Educación y el Entrenamiento Una de las lecciones clave de este análisis es la necesidad de entrenar a los equipos médicos en ambas técnicas para garantizar una ejecución precisa y rápida. Tanto ACLS como PHTLS ya incluyen módulos prácticos sobre el acceso IO, pero los resultados del estudio sugieren varias áreas de mejora: Competencia en la Identificación de Sitios IO: La tibia proximal y el húmero proximal fueron los sitios más utilizados en los estudios. Entrenar a los proveedores para seleccionar rápidamente el sitio óptimo según la anatomía del paciente y la situación clínica puede mejorar la eficacia. Minimización de Errores en IO: Aunque la tasa de éxito inicial de colocación IO fue alta en el estudio (~94%), esto no garantiza una administración efectiva de medicamentos. Por lo tanto, el entrenamiento debe incluir estrategias para verificar la colocación correcta y solucionar problemas comunes. Integración de Protocolos Locales: Los sistemas de emergencias médicas deben adaptar las recomendaciones a su contexto. Por ejemplo, en áreas rurales donde el acceso IV puede ser más difícil, la vía IO puede ser priorizada. Simulaciones Realistas: La incorporación de simuladores avanzados en los cursos de ACLS y PHTLS puede ayudar a los equipos a practicar en escenarios que imiten la complejidad de los entornos prehospitalarios e intrahospitalarios. Consideraciones Operacionales para Entornos Prehospitalarios Los sistemas de emergencias médicas varían significativamente en recursos y capacitación. Algunos factores clave para considerar al implementar estas recomendaciones incluyen: Tiempo vs. Eficiencia: En el estudio, el acceso IO tuvo tiempos de administración comparables al IV (~15 minutos). Sin embargo, la efectividad del IO para lograr ROSC sostenido fue menor. Esto resalta la importancia de evaluar cuidadosamente las circunstancias antes de decidir qué vía utilizar. Capacitación Universal: La disponibilidad de dispositivos IO varía entre sistemas. Asegurarse de que todos los equipos prehospitalarios estén capacitados en el uso de dispositivos IO, puede reducir las disparidades en el cuidado. Uso de Checklists: Protocolos estandarizados y listas de verificación pueden garantizar que los pasos críticos, como la confirmación de flujo libre en dispositivos IO, no se pasen por alto. Conclusión El metanálisis confirma que la vía intravenosa sigue siendo la opción preferida para el acceso vascular durante un paro cardíaco, pero destaca el valor del acceso intraóseo en entornos prehospitalarios o cuando el acceso IV no es posible. La integración de estas recomendaciones en cursos como ACLS, PALS y PHTLS refuerza la necesidad de entrenar a los proveedores para manejar con competencia ambas técnicas. Referencias K. Couper, L.W.

We've reviewed several papers in the past that suggest there might be an advantage to using IV access compared to IO access for medications in cardiac arrest. Is that really a thing? Wouldn't it be great if we had some randomized controlled trials to help answer the questions?  Funny you should mention RCTs. Dr Jarvis reviews three (THREE!) new RCTs that compare IV to IO access in out of hospital cardiac arrest to try to shed some of that bright light of science on this question!Citations:1.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD Educational Pearls: Can opioids cause cardiac arrest? Opioids can cause respiratory suppression and the subsequent low oxygen levels can lead to arrhythmias and eventually cardiac arrest. In 2023, 17% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) were attributable to opioids. Given that this is a rising cause of cardiac arrest, should we just treat all cardiac arrest with naloxone (Narcan)? Naloxone is correlated with an increased chance of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) Additionally, a wide variety of individuals can be exposed to opioids and therefore opioid overdose should be considered in all cases of OHCA But does naloxone improve neurologic outcomes? Yes, naloxone, especially when given early on in the resuscitation can improve neuro outcomes What is the dose? 2-4 mg IN/IV depending on access. High suspicion for opioid overdose consider going with an even higher dose such as 4-8 mg IN/IV References Orkin, A. M., & Dezfulian, C. (2024).

Back in episode 80 we discussed a feasibility study out of Salt Lake City that showed IM epi resulted in 3-minute faster administration in cardiac arrest. It was underpowered to show survival, however. Fortunately, the great folks in Salt Lake City is back with a larger bite at the statistical apple. Dr Jarvis discusses the background around what we know about epinephrine in cardiac arrest (briefly, for once), walks us through this new study, and puts it in context of modern clinical practice. Citations.1.

This week on Inside EMS, our cohosts discuss a recent study out of UC Davis Health that highlights the benefits of using naloxone in opioid-associated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest response. Chris and Kelly discuss the results and debate how this knowledge could impact OHCA protocols. Top quotes “If you look at the … survival of hospital discharge, the number needed to treat was 26. So 1 in 26 patients you would do this to has a chance of surviving the hospital discharge. That's pretty compelling. It's going to change my practice.” — Kelly Grayson “It's obviously needed information considering how bad the opioid overdose epidemic is in the United States. The numbers are compelling – the fact that this affects so many of our out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and that this actually shows pretty strong evidence of improved outcome.” — Kelly Grayson “We think about over the past 20 years, and now with fentanyl being part of that process, we're starting to see a lot more [drug-related cardiac arrests] and there's an urgent need for this evidence that allows us to now figure out if Narcan can make a difference in OHCAs.” — Chris Cebollero This episode of Inside EMS is brought to you by Lexipol, the experts in policy, training, wellness support and grants assistance for first responders and government leaders.

There was no association between weight-based dose of ketamine and risk for intubation.Thursday Spoon Feed:In a large retrospective review of patients with out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest (OHCA) there was a very small, and probably clinically insignificant, association with favorable neurological outcome and survival in those who underwent early as opposed to late advanced airway management.

Background: The holy grail of outcomes in OHCA is survival with good neurologic outcome.  The only interventions proven to increase this outcome are high quality CPR and defibrillation in shockable rhythms.  Ventilation is also an important component of resuscitation in OHCA.  Excess minute ventilation can adversely affect hemodynamics due to increased intrathoracic pressure (i.e. decreased ...

This week I am talking to Dr. Deborah King about her Near Death Experience.BioI am an advanced practice registered nurse (clinical nurse specialist) with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Clinical practice and education have been my passion for over four decades. I have tried to integrate spirituality into my practice of holistic caring and teaching---although my traditional training often fell short in providing me with the tools needed to do so.  I experienced many "unexplained" but very real, powerful encounters with the spiritual realm during my years of work as a nurse and psychotherapist in critical care, hospice, mental health, grief, trauma, and behavioral medicine.  However, a powerful near-death experience (NDE) of my own brought spiritual insight and lessons that I could have never learned in all of my years of clinical experience---or in any textbook or degree program. It changed my life, and deeply transformed me both personally and professionally.On December 15, 2008, while newly grieving the loss of my father, I experienced a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) while at home, just a few hours after visiting his gravesite for the first time since his death.  I did not have a "heart attack," had no interruptions of blood flow to my heart or muscle damage, and had no traditional risk factors for such an event. My heart simply stopped.  An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) like the one I experienced is fatal about 90% of the time;  survival after treatment to hospital discharge occurs only about 10% of the time, often with resulting neurological and functional impairment. Brokenhearted, grieving, and emotionally and physically exhausted from a life of caregiving and poor self-care, I experienced a complete energetic depletion that almost took my physical life, while, at the same time, renewed my life spiritually in ways I never could have anticipated.My NDE occurred sometime during my cardiac arrest and resulting coma. During my NDE, I experienced life as pure consciousness, out of my physical body, in the presence of the most all-encompassing love I have ever known.  God, the source energy of all that is, was ever-present, guiding me through a life review, sharing messages about our innate identity as souls, our mission as loving beings of compassion and light---and my own spiritual mission. With "no medical explanation," I awoke from the coma, and miraculously returned to my body and earthly life after surviving what the medical team told my family was not medically possible---with a very clear sense of mission about the work I needed to do.  Intuitive gifts, deep spiritual transformation, and clear insight and vision emerged to fuel me on my journey and provide the tools needed to fulfill my new mission.https://www.drdebking.com/https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death--5220623/support.

Small bags were thus integrated into a single EMS system to help combat over-ventilation. Paradoxically, large bags had a greater likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA).

MCHD's POCUS program has definitely involved both forward progress and lessons learned. In this episode, we'll discuss some of the reasons POCUS can be a game changer in the prehospital setting.

Two factors to cardiac arrest survivability that have been clearly shown to make the biggest difference is continuous, high-quality CPR and early defibrillation. The most common dysrhythmia present during the first few minutes of cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation. The chance of successful defibrillation decreases every minute that passes. How our chance of successfully defibrillating a patient into a perfusing rhythm significantly changes when good CPR is delivered vs when it isn't. Why bystander CPR is important for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes. The role of the CPR coach. Five tips to aid us in limiting CPR interruptions to less than 10 seconds so we can maintain a chest compression fraction (CCF) of at least 80%.

We interviewed Tanner Smida in episode 69 about his very interesting paper using the ESO dataset looking at the association between survival from out of hospital cardiac arrest and type of SGA used (iGel vs KingLT). He found 36% higher odds of survival with iGel. The ink was barely dry on that paper before he published a follow up paper looking at the same association but with a different dataset, this time CARES, and national US registry of OHCA.

Last year, state lawmakers in Oklahoma passed SB 1369, the Oklahoma Healthcare Transparency Initiative Act. The legislation requires all healthcare providers to enter patient records into an online database. Set to go into effect on July 1st, the measure specifically requires providers to quote “submit health and dental claims data, unique identifiers, and geographic and demographic information for covered individuals to the Oklahoma Healthcare Transparency Initiative”. In advance of implementation, mental health care providers in Oklahoma are raising concerns about patient privacy and confidentiality. We spoke with  Sabrina  DeQuasie, a  therapist in Oklahoma. We reached out to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, Oklahoma's Medicaid Agency. This is their statement below.    OHCA Invites Continued Feedback Regarding OKSHINE/HIE   Oklahoma City, OK – SB1369, passed in the 2022 legislative session, requires OHCA to set up a separate office, the Office of the State Coordinator for Health Information Exchange, with responsibility to oversee a statewide health information exchange with patient data from all healthcare providers. The proposed rules for the program were first introduced in September and have gone through two rounds of public comments, resulting in more than 300 comments. These comments, along with input from the public and dozens of stakeholder engagement meetings, are guiding and informing the implementation process. OHCA is grateful for the feedback of Oklahoma patients and providers.   The opportunity to utilize the HIE is significant, with potential to reduce adverse drug events, redundant testing, and promote a culture of improved collaboration among different healthcare providers, resulting in a more streamlined, holistic health care approach for Oklahomans. The agency understands the importance of privacy considerations in this effort and is working to ensure best practices and appropriate privacy safeguards, including all legal and licensure requirements under HIPAA and other applicable state and federal laws.   The proposed rules allow temporary exemptions based on size, technological capability or financial hardship. OHCA is actively engaging with providers to discuss exemption criteria for specific provider types regarding transmission of data restrictions, with a particular focus on behavioral health, and are expecting to revise the proposed rules to apply exemptions based on provider type.   After the passage of SB 1369, the rule proposal is the first step in a thorough process to develop regulations that will achieve the desired benefits for Oklahoma's citizens, serving the needs of providers and patients alike. To ensure your concerns are addressed, OHCA invites you to be a part of the conversation. Please send your feedback through the new comments feature on oklahoma.gov/ohca/okshine. This page will be updated with new information as it becomes available.
