Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Low physical activity level in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors with obesity, mobility problems and cognitive impairment: Results from the TTM2 trial.
To describe the level of physical activity 6 months after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and to explore potential risk factors of a low level of physical activity. ⋯ NCT02908308.

Multicenter Study
Sex differences in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: nationwide multicenter retrospective study in Japan.
Previous studies examining sex differences in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have indicated that women have favorable outcomes; however, detailed evidence remains lacking. We aimed to investigate sex differences in the backgrounds and outcomes of patients undergoing ECPR for OHCA. ⋯ The female sex is significantly associated with favorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge in patients who received ECPR for OHCA.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Hypothermia versus normothermia in patients with cardiac arrest and shockable rhythm: a secondary analysis of the TTM-2 study.
The aim of this study was to assess whether hypothermia increased survival and improved functional outcome when compared with normothermia in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with similar characteristics than in previous randomized studies showing benefits for hypothermia. ⋯ In this study, hypothermia at 33˚C did not improve survival or functional outcome in a subset of patients with similar cardiac arrest characteristics to patients in whom benefit from hypothermia was shown in prior studies.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Association between early airway intervention in the pre-hospital setting and outcomes in out of hospital cardiac arrest patients: A post-hoc analysis of the Target Temperature Management-2 (TTM2) trial.
Airway management is a critical component of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation. The primary aim of this study was to describe pre-hospital airway management in adult patients post-OHCA. Secondary aims were to investigate whether tracheal intubation (TI) versus use of supraglottic airway device (SGA) was associated with patients' outcomes, including ventilator-free days within 26 days of randomization, 6 months neurological outcome and mortality. ⋯ In the multicentre randomized TTM2-trial including patients with OHCA, most patients received prehospital endotracheal intubation to manage their airway. The choice of pre-hospital airway device was not independently associated with patient clinical outcomes.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyCombination of Hydrogen Inhalation and Hypothermic Temperature Control After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Post hoc Analysis of the Efficacy of Inhaled Hydrogen on Neurologic Outcome Following Brain Ischemia During PostCardiac Arrest Care II Trial.
The Efficacy of Inhaled Hydrogen on Neurologic Outcome Following Brain Ischemia During Post-Cardiac Arrest Care (HYBRID) II trial (jRCTs031180352) suggested that hydrogen inhalation may reduce post-cardiac arrest brain injury (PCABI). However, the combination of hypothermic target temperature management (TTM) and hydrogen inhalation on outcomes is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effect of hydrogen inhalation and hypothermic TTM on outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). ⋯ Hydrogen + TTM32-TTM34 was associated with improved neurologic outcomes after cardiogenic OHCA compared with TTM32-TTM34 monotherapy. Hydrogen inhalation is a promising treatment option for reducing PCABI when combined with TTM32-TTM34.
