Early DiaGnosis of Anoxic Brain Injury for Resuscitated Patients (EDGAR)

February 22, 2024 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville

Evaluation of Early Prognosis Factors of Neurological Evolution After Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest in Adults

Sudden cardiac arrest (CA) in adults remains a major public health issue in industrialized countries, leading to a mortality rate greater than 90%. The analysis of French data estimates the number of sudden deaths at around 40,000 per year. The incidence rate for non-hospital CAs is 55 per 100,000 every year with an immediate survival rate of 9% and 4.8% at one year.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Approximately 80 % of patients who survive CA with cardiopulmonary resuscitation are comatose. The longer it lasts, the lower chances of recovery. The evaluation of the neurological prognosis of these patients is an important issue. Indeed, 72% of patients admitted to an intensive care unit after resuscitation from CA will give rise to an ethical discussion with the family. The prognostication strategy is usually based on a multimodal process involving clinical examination, electro-neurophysiological and biological examinations. We plan to study the relevance of early neurological prognostic tests in the aftermath of CA and in particular the most recent techniques such as the use of a clinical score (CAHP for Cardiac Arrest Hospital Prognosis), automated infrared pupillometry (NEUROLIGHT ALGISCAN, IDMED) for pupillary reflex measurement and quantitative analysis of the continuous amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) BRAIN QUICK ICU LINE, MICROMED. These new prognostic criteria for CA (CAHP score, pupillometry and aEEG) developed separately have not yet been integrated into a multimodal strategy.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the performance of CAHP score, infrared automated pupillometry and aEEG to predict as early as 24h from ROSC the neurological prognosis (Cerebral Performance Categories) at hospital discharge.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Every major patient admitted in the Mercy Hospital CHR Metz-Thionville intensive care unit after CA

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Admission in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) following cardiac arrest with ROSC

Exclusion Criteria:

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) score
Time Frame: Day 1
The Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) score is evaluated by a physician at hospital discharge (CPC baseline assessed on basal statut before CA). Good neurological outcome defined as CPC <3. CPC 1: no or minor disability (conscious and independent, able to work and lead a normal life. May have mild dysphasia, non-incapacitating hemiparesis, or minor cranial nerve abnormalities). CPC 2: Moderate disability (Conscious and independent, able to travel by public transport and work in sheltered environment, independent in activities of daily life. May have hemiplegia, seizures, ataxia, dysarthria or memory changes). Poor neurological outcome defined as CPC 3-5. CPC 3: severe disability (conscious but dependent, limited cognition, dementia, locked-in, minimally conscious. Usually in institution, but sometimes looked after at home with exceptional family effort). CPC 4: unconscious (persistent vegetative state). CPC 5: dead (certified brain dead or traditional criteria).
Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cardiac Arrest Hospital Prognosis (CAHP) Score
Time Frame: Day 1
Seven variables independently associated with poor neurological outcome (age, non-shockable rythm, time from collapse to basic life support, time from basic life support to return of spontaneous circulation, location of cardiac arrest, epinephrine dose and arterial pH)
Day 1
Pupillary light reflex surveillance with automated infrared pupillometry
Time Frame: Day 1
Bilateral testing by trained nurse (3 measures, best result between the 2 eyes considered)
Day 1
Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) plasmatic levels
Time Frame: Day 2
Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) plasmatic levels (ng/ml)
Day 2
Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) plasmatic levels
Time Frame: Day 3
Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) plasmatic levels (ng/ml)
Day 3
Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG)
Time Frame: Day 1
Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) with Hellstrom-Westas classification
Day 1

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
