Abstract Background The prevalence of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been increasing rapidly worldwide. However, guidelines or clinical studies do not provide sufficient data on ECPR practice. aim this study was to real-world for OHCA, including details complications. Methods We did a retrospective database analysis observational multicenter cohort Japan. Adult OHCA presumed etiology who received between 2013 and...
To assess the prevalence of and risk factors for postintensive care syndrome in family (PICS-F) COVID-19 era.A single-center retrospective study using questionnaires telephone calls.An ICU at St. Luke's International Hospital.Patients who were treated COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress between March 23, 2020, September 30, 2021, their members participated.None.PICS-F refers to psychologic such as anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experienced by patient's...
This study aimed to describe the characteristics of patients requiring tracheostomy following extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) using real-world data from a multicenter registry. was secondary analysis SAVE-J II study, retrospective registry in Japan. Patients with OHCA aged ≥18 years who underwent ECPR between January 2013 and December 2018 were included. Participants classified into non-tracheostomy groups, group further...
Abstract Aim The present study aimed to describe in detail the changes and assess risk factors for poor long‐term outcomes of psychiatric disorders families COVID‐19 patients. Methods A single‐center, retrospective using questionnaires. Family members patients admitted intensive care unit (ICU) with severe participated. Psychiatric refer psychological distress such as anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experienced by patient's family. Results Forty‐six family completed...
Abstract Background Bleeding is the most common complication in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). No studies comprehensively described incidence rate, timing of onset, risk factors, and treatment bleeding complications OHCA ECPR a multicenter setting with large database. This study aimed to analyze factors during first day admission describe details hospitalization SAVE-J II Methods was secondary analysis study,...
Abstract Background Many studies have been published about critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the early phases of pandemic but characteristic or survival Japanese patients not yet investigated. We sought to investigate characteristics, inflammatory laboratory finding trends, and outcomes among who were admitted intensive care unit (ICU) with first wave COVID-19. Methods A retrospective observational study was performed in a single institution center Tokyo....
Postintensive care syndrome has a strong impact on coronavirus disease 2019 survivors.Assess the 1-year prevalence of postintensive after 2019.This was single-center prospective cohort using questionnaires and telephone calls from 4 months to 1 year ICU discharge. Patients who were treated for 2019-related acute respiratory distress between March 19, 2020, April 30, participated.Postintensive evaluated according physical, mental, cognitive domains. We surveyed 8-item standardized Short Form...
Background:We examined the association between initiation of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and incidence infectious complications, such as pneumonia, sepsis, bacteremia, after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in patients who received targeted temperature management (TTM).
Complicated empyema accompanied by bronchopleural fistula (BPF) has high mortality. The treatment strategy for severe respiratory failure due to with BPF yet be established.A 70-year-old man was brought our hospital and diagnosed right empyema, (at bronchi B4-10), secondary left pneumonia. We initiated drainage followed veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation the hypoxia. First, patient underwent endoscopic obstructive materials (known as endobronchial Watanabe spigot [EWS]) at...
Abstract Background Complications of acute kidney injury (AKI) are common in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, clinical characteristics COVID-19-associated AKI poorly described. We present two cases severe COVID-19 AKI. Case presentation A 77-year-old woman was suspected having vancomycin-associated AKI, and a 45-year-old man heme pigment-induced caused by rhabdomyolysis. The granular cast, which is known to be valuable diagnostic tool for confirming the diagnosis...
Background Early onset pneumonia (EOP) in patients with cardiac arrest treated targeted temperature management is a recently debated issue. We assessed the association between C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels and development of EOP extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods Results reviewed data all admitted to our hospital after out‐of‐hospital ECPR April 2006 2019 who survived for at least 48 h. collected demographic data, characteristics, prophylactic antibiotic use,...
We report the case of a 71-year-old woman in whom cerebral air embolism resulted from blunt chest trauma. The had been lying on her left side for while after injury, and traveled to right brain. As result, infarction occurred hemisphere that caused loss consciousness more than 40 days. patient recovered eventually; thus, it is important monitor improvement patient's state consciousness, with repeated multi-modality imaging evaluations over long period.
Although patients who underwent night-time resuscitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) had worse clinical outcomes than those day-time resuscitation, the differences between of with OHCA extracorporeal cardiopulmonary (ECPR) in and remain unclear. We analyzed data from Study Advanced Life Support Ventricular Fibrillation Extracorporeal Circulation Japan. Patients were categorized according to whether they received treatment during or night-time. The primary survival hospital...
Research on the causes of sudden cardiac arrest (CA) after ischemic stroke, especially disruption autonomic nervous system's central control, has recently focused more widespread cortical and subcortical network than circuits at spinal brainstem level. However, no clinical case CA requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) infarction been reported. We report a 78-year-old woman who died suddenly from infarction. Her husband heard falling sound found her unresponsive lying with agonal...
Aim: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of cases out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with an initial asystole rhythm in which extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) was introduced and discuss clinical indications for ECPR such patients.Methods: a secondary analysis SAVE-J II study, retrospective, multicentre, registry involving 36 participating institutions Japan. Patients were selected. Favourable neurological outcomes (cerebral performance categories 1–2)...
