Significant Difference

Introduction: Debriefing sessions after in-hospital cardiac arrest have been demonstrated to improve teamwork and survival outcomes. Though recommended in 2020 AHA Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, implementation remains low. Hypothesis: We postulated that a didactic training session provided to code leaders would increase rates of participation of AHA-recommended post-arrest debriefing sessions. Methods: Surveys were distributed to hospital personnel who participate in code blue/ERTs at an academic, tertiary-care medical center. Questions were graded on Likert scale to assess provider-reported perceptions of teamwork, communication, and confidence in conducting and participating in Code Blues. Participants were stratified in groups depending on whether they had previously participated in debriefing sessions. Primary outcomes were quantified using a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 5. Surveys were compared to surveys from prior years to assess if the intervention of a code blue didactics lecture delivered to code leaders resulted in any change in overall participation rate in the debriefing protocol. Results: Among 181 participants (61% female), 32% were residents, 54% nurses, 1.7% respiratory therapists. Self-evaluated current knowledge of ACLS protocols was significantly higher in the debriefing group (p = 0.0098), while there were no differences in perceived communication (p=0.76), and confidence in leading (p = 0.2) and participating (p = 0.2). We did not find a statistically significant difference in debriefing participation rate after our intervention (57% pre vs 58% post intervention, p=0.8), even when stratified by hospital role: critical care nurses (50% vs 71%, p=0.3), non-ICU nurses (68% vs 57%, p=0.3) and residents (67% vs 50%, p=0.2). Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that participation in post-code debriefing sessions was associated with a statistically significant increase in knowledge of cardiac arrest protocols. A code blue didactics lecture did not result in a statistically significant increase in post-arrest debriefing participation. Further study to elucidate methods to enhance adoption of this crucial, guideline recommended practice is warranted.

Objectives. (1) To examine the incidence and outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCAs) in a large unselected patient population who underwent coronary angiography at a single tertiary academic center and (2) to evaluate a transitional change in which the cardiologist is positioned as the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) leader in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) at our local tertiary care institution. Background. IHCA is a major public health concern with increased patient morbidity and mortality. A proportion of all IHCAs occurs in the CCL. Although in-hospital resuscitation teams are often led by an Intensive Care Unit- (ICU-) trained physician and house staff, little is known on the role of a cardiologist in this setting. Methods. Between 2012 and 2016, a single-center retrospective cohort study was performed examining 63 adult patients (70 ± 10 years, 60% males) who suffered from a cardiac arrest in the CCL. The ICU-led IHCAs included 19 patients, and the Coronary Care Unit- (CCU-) led IHCAs included 44 patients. Results. Acute coronary syndrome accounted for more than 50% of cardiac arrests in the CCL. Pulseless electrical activity was the most common rhythm requiring chest compression, and cardiogenic shock most frequently initiated a code blue response. No significant differences were observed between the ICU-led and CCU-led cardiac arrests in terms of hospital length of stay and 1-year survival rate. Conclusion. In the evolving field of Critical Care Cardiology, the transition from an ICU-led to a CCU-lead code blue team in the CCL setting may lead to similar short-term and long-term outcomes.

The Impact

ObjectivesThis research aimed to examine the perspectives, experiences and practices of international experts in community first response: an intervention that entails the mobilisation of volunteers by the emergency medical services to respond to prehospital medical emergencies, particularly cardiac arrests, in their locality.DesignThis was a qualitative study in which semistructured interviews were conducted via teleconferencing. The data were analysed in accordance with an established thematic analysis procedure.SettingThere were participants from 11 countries: UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands.ParticipantsSixteen individuals who held academic, clinical or managerial roles in the field of community first response were recruited. Maximum variation sampling targeted individuals who varied in terms of gender, occupation and country of employment. There were eight men and eight women. They included ambulance service chief executives, community first response programme managers and cardiac arrest registry managers.ResultsThe findings provided insights on motivating and supporting community first response volunteers, as well as the impact of this intervention. First, volunteers can be motivated by ‘bottom-up factors’, particularly their characteristics or past experiences, as well as ‘top-down factors’, including culture and legislation. Second, providing ongoing support, especially feedback and psychological services, is considered important for maintaining volunteer well-being and engagement. Third, community first response can have a beneficial impact that extends not only to patients but also to their family, their community and to the volunteers themselves.ConclusionsThe findings can inform the future development of community first response programmes, especially in terms of volunteer recruitment, training and support. The results also have implications for future research by highlighting that this intervention has important outcomes, beyond response times and patient survival, which should be measured, including the benefits for families, communities and volunteers.
