Objectives

The post–cardiac arrest survival rate has remained low since the 2010 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines were published. The present study aimed to review the 2010 versus 2005 CPR guideline outcomes in adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest.

The Pub Med, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles published between Jan 2006 and July 2015. We extracted the following from observational studies and intervention studies: first author’s name, publication year, study duration, age of study population, and sample size. The primary outcome variables were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to discharge. The data were divided into 2005 (data collected prior to Dec 2010) and 2010 (data collected in Dec 2010 or later) CPR guidelines groups.

Twenty-four original articles (77605 patients) were included. Statistically significant heterogeneity (ROSC: P<0.01, I2=97.9%; survival to discharge: P<0.01, I2=98.3%) was seen, and a random-effects model was used to pool the outcomes. The pooled ROSC rate for the 2010 group (N=5; mean, 48%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.38–0.58) was only slightly higher than that of the 2005 group (N=19; mean, 47%; 95% CI, 0.38–0.57). The opposite result was noted in the pooled survival to discharge rates (2010: N=5, mean, 14%; 95% CI, 0.08–0.20 versus 2005: N=19; mean, 15%; 95% CI, 0.10–0.20). there was actually no significant difference in ROSC or survival to discharge outcomes between the two groups.

Conclusions

The 2010 CPR guidelines emphasized high-quality chest compressions can increase the ROSC rate, but did not show to improve long-term results. Keywords: cardiopulmonary resuscitation, outcome, adult, meta-analysis

1. Introduction The 2010 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines published by the American Heart Association especially emphasized the use of high-quality chest compressions during CPR. The most significant adult basic life support (BLS) change in this document is its recommendation of a compressions, airway, breathing (CAB) sequence instead of the airway, breathing, compressions (ABC) sequence of the 2005 guidelines to minimize delays to the initiation of compressions and resuscitation [1]. However, the effect of high-quality CPR on survival has rarely been prospectively assessed in a randomized trial. One study reported that the CPR protocol of the 2010 guidelines was associated with a higher proportion of patients achieving return of spontaneous circulation 2

(ROSC), but this did not translate to statistically significant improvements in survival to discharge or neurologically intact survival in adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest receiving CPR by an emergency team [2]. However, in children, the CPR intervention research according to the 2010 CPR guidelines was associated with a trend toward improved survival to hospital discharge and favorable neurological outcome but not ROSC [3]. Improved trends in survival to hospital discharge and neurological outcomes occurred in cases of both shockable and non-shockable arrest rhythms from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between October 2005 and December 2012 [4]. With the increasing rate of dispatcher-assisted bystander CPR, significantly improved survival and neurological outcomes also occurred in cases of metropolitan out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with the bystanders trained according to 2010 CPR guidelines [5]. Survival outcomes after resuscitation were associated with age, electrocardiography rhythm, the timing of cardiac arrest, where CPR was performed, and the duration of CPR [6]. Adults had more frequent ROSC, 24h survival, and survival to discharge than children from in-hospital CPR in emergency department during 2000 to 2010 [7]. It is unknown whether the recent improvements are due to the new 2010 guidelines or to an increased number of trained bystanders or other reasons. Recent meta-analyses of cardiac arrest research have focused on the use of new therapies including mechanical chest compression [8], extracorporeal CPR [9] and defibrillation [10], new medications such as adrenaline [11] and anti-arrhythmics [12] or resuscitation training [13]. However, no group has conducted a systematic review to precisely assess the outcomes of the 2010 CPR guidelines. Usually out-of-hospital CPR is performed by a bystander and subject to availability of first aid equipment, while in-hospital arrests receive CPR by trained health care workers with minimal delay and immediately available equipment. We decided to focus on in-hospital rather than out-of-hospital arrests because the environment is more similar between studies so results would more likely relate to the 2010 vs 2005 guidelines. Therefore, the goal of this study was to summarize and perform a meta-analysis of the 2010 versus 2005 CPR guidelines in a population of adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest.

2. Methods

2.1 Search Strategy A systematic review of the literature was based on the meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology statement. Relevant studies were identified from Pub Med, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library searches using the following terms: (outcome of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation [MeSH Terms]) OR (outcome after in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest [MeSH Terms]) AND adult. Limits: Only studies of humans within the defined time frame (January 1, 2006 to July 31, 2015) were included. First, the first author selected studies based on the titles and abstracts, and then, two author respectively screened the full texts of the remaining articles more thoroughly. Disagreements were settled by consensus or adjudication of two author. The following eligibility criteria were required for inclusion: (1) observational or intervention study; (2) publication after 2006 with data sources 2006 or newer; (3) in-hospital arrest; (4) adult population (defined as >14 years); (5) survival data available; and (6) publication in English. We excluded studies of: (1) CPR performed or started in the out-of-hospital setting; 3

(2) CPR performed in the operating room; (3) data combining arrests in both children and adults; (4) CPR performed in a special population, including pregnant women, patients requiring extracorporeal CPR or mechanical resuscitation, or arrest of a patient who is already intubated. 2.2 Data Extraction In addition to study design, patient characteristics, and sample size, we extracted information including actual numbers of survivors and corresponding cohort sizes and event rates. ROSC and survival to discharge were the primary outcome variables, but we also obtained data on survival at 24 hours and favorable neurological outcomes. If survival to discharge data were not available, we considered 30-day survival as survival to discharge. The data were divided into the 2005 and 2010 CPR guidelines groups. The data collected prior to Dec 2010 were entered into the 2005 group; those thereafter were included in the 2010 group. If the detailed data contained outcomes from both before and after 2011, then it was entered into the 2005 or 2010 group, respectively. Study data that lacked specific date were excluded. 2.3 Statistical Analysis All included studies were either observational or clinical trials. We put the extracted clinical data into an Excel database and analyzed it using Stata version 12.0 (Stata Corp, College Station, TX, USA). Estimates were segregated into the 2005 and 2010 CPR guidelines groups. Survival outcomes were ROSC and survival to hospital discharge. Because of the study heterogeneity, a random-effects model was used to combine the studies. To assess study heterogeneity, the Cochrane’s Q test and the I2 index were used. P values < .05 were considered significant in the heterogeneity test. We also explored potential sources of heterogeneity by applying a multivariate meta regression analysis examining: guidelines version, continent, time, sample source, intervention, sample size. Effect sizes were reported as mean differences. Standard errors were calculated using group standard deviation or 95% confidence interval (CI) measures.

3. Results

In this manner, the search resulted in 3204 articles (Figure 1). 2718 articles were obtained from Pub Med, 469 from EMBASE, and 15 from the Cochrane Library. Of them, 112 articles about systematic review were excluded, 2941 articles which did not meet our eligibility criteria were excluded after reviewing of the title and abstract, leaving 151 studies for review of full papers. Of these, 127 articles were excluded due to lack of ROSC data or survival to hospital discharge data, data including children and adults or including patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, data including pre-2005. Two additional articles were identified in a manual search [14,15]. Finally, a total of 24 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The data from one study [16] was split into both the 2005 and the 2010 group because it contained data from both before 2010 and after 2011. 3.1 Study Characteristics Tables 1 displays the study characteristics and variables used in the meta-analysis. Eight studies were performed in Europe [16-23], seven in Asia [24-30], six in the USA [15,31-35], two in Egypt [14,36] and one in Brazil [37]. The number of patients in each study ranged from 30 to 48841, with a total of 77605 patients in all 24 studies (median, 3104 patients). The 4

mean patient age ranged from 24.5 years in trauma patients to 73.9 years in general patients. Fifteen articles were from a single hospital, six from multiple hospitals, and four from the National Registry of CPR. Three articles were studies of drug interventions, eight were of CPR teams, and 13 were general research. Of all studies, 20 were of the 2005 CPR guidelines and six were of the 2010 CPR guidelines. 3.2 Return of Spontaneous Circulation A total of 22 articles recorded integrated ROSC data. A random-effects model was applied because of high heterogeneity (P < 0.01, I2 = 97.9%). Figure 2 shows a Forest Plot of the ROSC outcomes of each study, weighting of each study based on sample size, and the meta-analysis results of all studies from 2005 and 2010 CPR guidelines. The ROSC rate after in-hospital CPR was 14–73%, while the overall pooled ROSC rate was 48% (95% CI, 0.41–0.54). The mean ROSC rate for studies of patients treated according to the 2005 CPR guidelines (N = 19, mean = 47%; 95% CI, 0.38–0.57) did not differ significantly from the mean ROSC rate for studies with patients treated according to the 2010 CPR guidelines (N = 5, mean = 48%; 95% CI, 0.38–0.58). Figure 3 displays the ROSC rates by study start year. Examined by simple linear regression, there was no absolute increase in ROSC rate between 2006 and 2012 (β = -0.0039; t=-0.17, P = 0.866). 3.3 Survival to Discharge Twenty-four articles recorded integrated survival to discharge data. The heterogeneity of survival to discharge was P < 0.01, I2 = 98.3%. Figure 4 shows a Forest Plot of the rate of survival to discharge of each study, weighting of each study based on sample size, and the meta-analysis results of all studies. The rate of survival to discharge following in-hospital CPR was 3–40% with an overall pooled rate of 15% (95% CI, 0.12–0.18). The mean survival to discharge rate of studies with patients treated according to the 2005 CPR guidelines (N = 19, mean = 15%; 95% CI, 0.10–0.20) did not differ significantly from the mean survival to discharge rate of studies with patients treated according to the 2010 CPR guidelines (N = 5, mean = 14%; 95% CI, 0.08–0.20). Figure 5 displays the survival to discharge rates by study start year. Examined by simple linear regression, there was no absolute increase in survival to discharge rate between 2006 and 2012 (β = 0.0024; t = -0.21, P = 0.838). 3.4 Survival at 24 hours Only three articles [24,35,36] recorded survival at 24 hours. The three studies found 350 survivals at 24 hours in the total number of 1002 cases, and respectively ranged from 48/380 (13%) [36], 57/131 ( 44%) [24] to 245/491 (50%) [35]. The overall pooled survival at 24 hours rate was 36% (95% CI, 0.08–0.63) with meta-analysis. 3.5 Neurological Outcome Five articles [17,24,19,35,37] recorded neurological outcomes, but their evaluation criteria of the neurological outcome were not exactly the same. A total of 164 survivors achieved a good neurological recovery in these five studies of 1023 cases. The five studies found favorable neurological outcome to be: 16/268 (6%, achieved 1-year survival with a cerebral performance category [CPC] score of 1 or 2) [17], 27/131 (21%, survival at 3 month)[24], 4/52 (8%) [19] and 12/81 (15%) [37] (discharge with a CPC score of 1 or 2), to 105/491 (21%, 30-day CPC score of 1 or 2) [35]. The overall pooled neurological outcome rate of 14% (95% 5

CI, 0.06–0.22) with meta-analysis. 3.6 Source of heterogeneity Meta regression analyses were used in order to explore source of heterogeneity (Table 2). The multivariate meta regression analyzed rate of ROSC again guidelines version, continent, time, sample source, intervention and showed no statistically significant relationship with the exception of sample size (P=0.030). The rate of survival to discharge showed no statistically significant relationship with these variables.

This systematic review reports on the outcomes of more than 77000 episodes of in-hospital adult cardiac arrest treated according to the 2005 and 2010 CPR guidelines from published data in 24 data sets. Most of the studies reported only short-term outcomes such as ROSC and hospital discharge, and fewer studies examined neurological outcomes. The most striking finding is that there was no significant difference in ROSC or survival to discharge between the 2005 and 2010 CPR guidelines. However, the ROSC of the latter was slightly increased compared to the former, which is in line with the goal of the 2010 CPR guidelines; but the hospital discharge findings were contrary. According to the 2010 CPR guidelines, the most important evidence-based recommendations for the performance of BLS are that rescuers should begin CPR with chest compressions rather than rescue breathing, and a strong emphasis on pushing hard to a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute. To provide effective chest compressions, push hard and push fast [1], such high-quality chest compressions can indeed increase the ROSC rate. Research shows that the ROSC rates peaked at a compression rate of ~125/min and then declined, but a higher survival to hospital discharge rate was not seen [38]. Following BLS curriculum revision after publication of the 2010 guidelines, cardiac arrest was associated with a higher proportion of patients achieving ROSC but not survival to discharge [39]. Some research showed that after adjustment for chest compression fraction and depth, compression rates between 100 and 120 per minute were associated with greatest survival to hospital discharge [40]. These data suggest an optimum target of between 100 and 120 compressions per minute. Consistent rates above or below that range appear to reduce survival to discharge [41]. When exceeding a certain range, the faster the compression rate is, the shorter the diastolic time of the heart is, which will lead to a decrease in blood volume of the heart and reduce the effectiveness of compressions. On the other hand, there was an inverse association between depth and compression rate [42], which may imply that the excessive increase of compression speed is difficult to guarantee the depth of compression. For survival to discharge, Stiell’s study revealed that the maximum survival is at a depth of 45.6 mm (15-mm interval with highest survival between 40.3 and 55.3 mm) with no differences between men and women, suggesting that the 2010 American Heart Association cardiopulmonary resuscitation guideline target may be too high [43]. Vadeboncoeur et al. assessed that each 5mm increase in mean chest compressions depth significantly increased the odds of survival and survival with favorable functional outcome: OR 1.29 (95% CI 1.00-1.65) and OR 1.30 (95% CI 1.00-1.70) respectively [44]. Chest compression depth and rate were associated with ROSC and survival outcomes. Our 6

goal after CPR is to have higher ROSC rates and better neurological function, but this meta-analysis was unable to find any of these statistical improvements after the change to the 2010 guidelines. In another meta document [45], chest compression depth was significantly associated with survival to hospital discharge (mean difference (MD) between survivors and non-survivors 2.59mm, 95% CI: 0.71, 4.47); and with ROSC (MD 0.99mm, 95% CI: 0.04, 1.93). Within the range of approximately 100-120 compressions per minute, compression rate was significantly associated with survival to hospital discharge. Moreover, hospital discharge is related to the patient’s own disease, follow-up treatment, and hypoxia time during CPR process [6]. This review showed that overall pooled rate of hospital discharge from in-hospital CPR do not appear to have made a difference after 2010. But for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, overall rates of survival improved dramatically with accompanying lower rates of neurological disability, as well as increasing rates of bystander CPR and AED use during the study period [46]. One reason that the 2010 guidelines might make a difference in out-of-hospital but not in-hospital is that bystanders who are not healthcare professionals and who do not have personal protective equipment available are hesitant to provide mouth-to-mouth to strangers, whereas in a healthcare setting responders have gloves, masks, etc., and can treat the airway with bag-valve-masks or intubation while avoiding skin-to-skin contact. Another reason might be that often in-hospital arrests have large code response teams, so someone is able to provide continuous compressions while a second person is able to provide respirations simultaneously. How to get higher ROSC rates and better outcomes are areas which deserve more discussion. This review is based on observational, real-world clinical data from five continents. In heterogeneity analysis, the rate of ROSC is not related to CPR guidelines version, continent, time, sample source, or intervention. In the future, studies on CPR from large databases is a way to reduce heterogeneity, since sample size is one of the sources of heterogeneity.

5. Study limitations

AC

However, these individual studies had potential limitations. First of all, only reports in English literature were included in our study, which led to the loss of raw data from reports in other languages. There were two studies in other languages were excluded. We also excluded two documents [47,48] because their data come from Get With The Guidelines® (GWTG)‐ Resuscitation (2000 - 2010), which is the same as Chan PS’s study (2007 - 2010) [32]. Only five studies examined the 2010 CPR guidelines. Another limitation is that we do not know when hospitals retrained their staff. Likely there was a fair amount of lag between the announcement of the new guidelines in Dec 2010 and when hospital staff would have started using the new guidelines. Selection bias and confounding seem inevitable because most of the research is from observational studies. Other potential sources of heterogeneity included race, discharge standards and with other specific sources such as hospital size, hospital quality, lag time between arrest and code response, who responded to the code (nurse, physician, resident). Such heterogeneity should be considered in any meta-analysis.

6. Conclusions In conclusion, the 2010 CPR guidelines emphasize that high-quality chest compressions can increase the ROSC rate when initiated early without delaying for airway interventions, 7

however this change to the 2010 guidelines has not improved ROSC rates or survival-to-discharge for in-hospital cardiac arrest when compared to 2005 CPR guidelines. It is worth considering that appropriate compression rate and depth appears to have stronger evidence for improvement in outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
