Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in several developing countries, and many of these deaths occur before reaching the hospital due to cardiac arrest. Most patients who return to spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and are brought to the hospital experience severe neurological damage during cardiac arrest, and this damage is the cause of in-hospital mortality. Improvements in survival and neurologic improvement of patients with CA have focused on two main therapy areas. The first area is improved education and skills of medical and paramedical personnel to improve perfusion post CA. The second area is a greater emphasis on post-resuscitation care which includes optimizing oxygenation and ventilation, avoiding hypotension, treating causes of CA such as acute coronary ischemia, and initiating hypothermia therapy if necessary, as in the 2020 guidelines and recommendations from the American Heart Association (AHA), International Liaison Committee of Resuscitation, and European Resuscitation Council covering the entire spectrum of post-resuscitation care.  The AHA guidelines 2020 recommend optimizing hypothermia therapy for 24 hours with a target temperature between 320C - 360C in ROSC patients to improve clinical outcomes of neurological status after cardiac arrest. This is contrast to the study of Martinell et al in their research which concluded that there was no significant difference in survival rates within 30 days after cardiac arrest in patients who received either hypothermia therapy or those who did not. Hypothermia therapy, which is currently part of the post-resuscitation care recommendations, has varied variables and remains controversial in its implementation. Based on this, this referent will discuss the effects of hypothermia therapy on post-cardiac arrest patients, the stages, and the practical aspects of implementing hypothermia therapy.

Abstract

A grading system based on disease severity has been widely used in intensive care units (ICUs) since around 1980. These systems are used to predict mortality and assess severity in clinical trials. Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS3) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Score (APACHE IV) are prognosis ratings that can predict in-hospital mortality within the first hour of ICU care. Although these technologies have been widely employed in the ICU, they have yet to be commonly deployed in the cardiovascular care unit (CVCU) due to different patient populations. Intensive care doctors typically employ the standard prognostic scores, SAPS3 and APACHE IV, which were generated from diverse populations of critically ill patients. Although these scores are the most widely used early versions, APACHE IV and SAPS 3 do not include acute coronary syndrome patients. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score has performed the best; this may be because of its straightforward design, which does not distinguish between individuals with SCA and those without ST-segment elevation. Our review article attempts to evaluate the performance of standard predictor scores, namely SAPS 3, APACHE IV, and GRACE, on patients with cardiovascular emergencies. Thus, these score systems can precisely assess the relationship between mortality prediction scores and outcomes of patients admitted to the CVCU rapidly and comprehensively.
