Efficacy and Safety of TTM in Adults With ECPR. (TTM、ECPR)

September 23, 2024 updated by: Qingbian Ma, MD, Peking University Third Hospital

A Multicenter, Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial of TTM(Target Temperature Management) in Adults With ECPR(Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)

Investigators hypothesize that there is a difference in the 30-day survival rate and good neurological outcome rate between two groups of cardiac arrest patients undergoing ECPR, one group receiving hypothermia and the other group receiving normothermia. Among the patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, after screening with inclusion criteria as well as exclusion criteria, informed consent for the experiment was signed and randomly assigned into 2 groups. One group underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation combined with hypothermia (34°C) and the other group underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation combined with normothermia (36.5-37.5℃). Information related to the prognosis of the participants in both groups was obtained, evaluated statistically, and final conclusions were drawn.

  7. intracranial hemorrhage or suspected intracranial hemorrhage;
  8. pre-existing neurologic impairment (CPC ≥ 3) prior to the onset of cardiac arrest;
  9. those with end-stage heart failure;
  10. those with new-onset cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction;
  11. other vascular conditions such as severe plaque in bilateral femoral arteries that cause difficulty in tube placement;

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: hypothermia group
Combined target temperature management (TTM) in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and with a target temperature control of 34°C.
Minimize the temperature of the thermometric tank or thermometric catheter for rapid temperature control. Use a thermometric catheter to monitor changes in the patient's core body temperature in real time. When the core body temperature drops to 34 ℃, adjust the target temperature of the temperature-controlled water tank to 34 ℃ and adjust the target temperature of the temperature-controlled water tank in real time according to the patient's core body temperature. Keep the core body temperature around 34 ℃. Maintain the body temperature at 34℃ for at least 24 hours after the patient resumes autonomous circulation. After the patient has resumed voluntary circulation for 24 hours, the rewarming process can begin. The target temperature of the temperature control tank will increase at a rate of 0.2°C/h. After reaching 36°C, maintain the current temperature. Once 36°C is reached, the current temperature is maintained until autonomic circulation has been restored for 5 days.
Experimental: normothermia group
Combined target temperature management (TTM) in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and with a target temperature control of 36.5-37.2°C.
Set the temperature of the temperature-controlled water tank or the in vivo cooling catheter to 37°C to maintain the patient's core temperature between 36.5-37.5°C. Real-time monitoring of the patient's core temperature changes through the thermometric urinary catheter, and real-time adjustment of the temperature of the temperature-controlled water tank. The patient's temperature was maintained between 36.5-37.5°C after the patient resumed voluntary circulation until the end of temperature control 5 days after the recovery of voluntary circulation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
30-day survival outcomes
Time Frame: 30 days after randomization
All-cause survival rate of patients on day 30 after randomization.
30 days after randomization
30-day neurologic function outcomes
Time Frame: 30 days after randomization
Rate of patients with good neurological outcome at day 30 of randomization.Good neurological outcome is defined as a cerebral performance category(CPC) score of 1 or 2.
30 days after randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
prolong follow-up survival outcome
Time Frame: 90 days and 6 months after randomization
survival rate
90 days and 6 months after randomization
prolong follow-up neurologic outcome
Time Frame: 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months after randomization
Modified Rankin scale neurologic function scores and cerebral performance category(CPC) scores at 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months after randomization.Modified Rankin scale neurologic function scores assesses the poststroke sequelae, ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death), and establishes the patient's functional independence (from 0 to 2) or dependence (from 3 to 5).Cerebral performance category(CPC) scores define a good outcome as a CPC score of 1 or 2, and a poor outcome (severe neurological disability, persistent vegetative state or death) as CPC scores 3, 4, or 5.
