Emergency echocardiography to detect pericardial effusion in patients in PEA and near-PEA states.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Emergency echocardiography (EM echo) has been proposed to assist in decision-making in patients with pulseless electric activity (PEA) or PEA-like states. We observed the value of EM echo by emergency physicians in detecting pericardial effusion in patients in PEA and near PEA states. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Observational, prospective series at a Level 1 urban ED of patients with non-traumatic PEA or near PEA states who had EM echoes performed by emergency physicians during an 18-month period. Outcomes of patients with EM echoes were established by review of clinical course, formal echocardiography, radiography, operation or autopsy. RESULTS:Twenty patients had EM echo for non-traumatic hemodynamic collapse. Eight of 20 patients (40%) were without cardiac ventricular motion and were refractory to ACLS measures. Twelve of 20 (60%) patients had cardiac kinetic motion observed on echo. Eight of the 12 (67%) patients with cardiac motion had a pericardial effusion observed on EM echo. Formal echocardiography or other imaging studies confirmed all pericardial effusion cases. The following diagnoses were subsequently confirmed in patients with pericardial effusion: one aortic aneurysm, two aortic dissections, two metastatic cancers, one post-dialysis effusion, two minimal effusions. Three patients had tamponade with emergency pericardial drainage or surgery. In two of four patients with cardiac activity without pericardial effusion, EM echo was useful by detecting pacer capture and ROSC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Emergency echocardiography performed by emergency physicians in patients in PEA or near PEA states can detect pericardial effusions with correctable etiologies versus true PEA with ventricular standstill.

  • Is initial rhythm in OHCA a predictor of preceding no flow time? Implications for bystander response and ECPR candidacy evaluation.

    abstract:OBJECTIVE:Shockable cardiac rhythms are associated with improved outcomes among out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). Initial cardiac rhythm may also be predictive of a short preceding no-flow duration. We examined the relationship between no-flow duration and initial cardiac rhythm, which may demonstrate the urgency...
