CT Perfusion (CTP) for Assessment of Poor Neurological Outcome in Comatose Cardiac Arrest Patients (CANCCAP)
CT Perfusion (CTP) for Assessment of Poor Neurological Outcome in Comatose Cardiac Arrest Patients (CANCCAP)-a Prospective Cohort Study
ABSTRACT
Brief Overview: Neurological assessment of comatose cardiac arrest patients (CCAP) is challenging because most of these patients are treated with sedatives and therapeutic hypothermia that prevent complete neurological/clinical assessment. A complete and reliable neurological assessment is needed for patient's long-term function and survival. A poor-quality clinical assessment results in resource-intensive treatment that may not benefit the patient. An ancillary test of head CT scan is often used for additional information. However, this additional information still limits the quality of the assessment. In a small pilot study, we explored an advanced CT scan of brain called CT Perfusion (CTP) relative to clinical assessment in CCAP as a predictor of neurological outcome (severe disability or death) at hospital discharge. The preliminary results suggested that CTP was both valid and reliable, relative to clinical assessment, while meeting many of the criteria of an ideal test (fast, safe, accessible, valid, reliable). This project aims to carry out a fully powered study to confirm these findings.
The goal of this project is to validate CTP for predicting neurological outcome at hospital discharge in CCAP. We will conduct a prospective cohort study to validate the use of CTP in CCAP.
Hypothesis- Computed Tomographic Perfusion (CTP) can reliably diagnose potentially fatal brain injury in CCAP in early stage upon hospital admission, which may or may not be recognized in the usual clinical practice due to inadequate clinical examination.
Primary Objective: To validate CTP, relative to the reference standard of clinical assessment, for characterizing poor neurological outcome at hospital discharge in CCAP.
Secondary Objectives:
To establish the safety and inter-rater reliability of CTP in CCAP.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
This study will be conducted in our tertiary care cardiac center. The cohort will consist of newly admitted comatose adults (>18 years of age) who have suffered an OHCA and are treated with standard TTM to 36°C. Just before admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), CCAP undergo CT scan of head. Our plan is to add CTP of whole head at the time of their standard of care CT scan of head. CCAP will then be transferred to ICU for further standard management including TTM.
Immediately after acute care, CCAP usually undergo a CT scan of the head, as per standard protocol, to assess for any intracranial pathology. CTP will be performed at the same time as this standard-of-care CT scan of head. CTP images will be acquired according to a standardized stroke imaging protocol in order to ensure whole brain coverage. The CTP data will be transferred to the study imaging core lab at the department of Radiology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg for interpretation. The CTP results will not be available to the treating physicians and the routine care of the patient will continue as per local practice.
CTP analysis will be performed in the imaging core lab using a semiautomatic deconvolution algorithm on a vendor neutral software package. CTP will be assessed both quantitatively as well as qualitatively.
- Quantitative assessment: Brain death will be defined as CBF <5 mL/100g/min and CBV <2 mL/100g in the brainstem.
- Qualitative assessment: Brain death will be defined as matched decrease of CBF and CBV in the brainstem. The perfusion maps for CBF and CBV will be assessed for binary outcome of 'dead' or 'not-dead', according to our previously published methods.
The perfusion maps will be assessed by the two independent neuroradiologists, who are blinded to each other's assessment and to the clinical history of each patient. If the two neuroradiologists disagree, a consensus agreement will be achieved for the final analysis. Consensus decision reflects the real-life scenario faced in such situations. CTP parameters (CBF and CBV) will be qualitatively assessed for the presence or absence of matched decrease of CBF and CBV.
