Abstract:
PURPOSE:Newly updated guidelines suggest brain computed tomography for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors to identify a neurologic cardiac arrest cause. We hypothesized that the "pseudo-subarachnoid hemorrhage" (p-SAH) sign in cardiac arrest survivors is associated with poor outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We retrospectively evaluated the registries of 2 tertiary hospitals, identifying 836 adult (≥18 years) patients achieving return of spontaneous circulation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Among them, 398 patients with brain computed tomography within 6 hours after return of spontaneous circulation and received targeted temperature management from 2009 to 2014 were included. Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with and without p-SAH were compared. RESULTS:The prevalence of p-SAH sign was 8.0%. The p-SAH group more frequently had asystole as first rhythm and nonwitnessed arrest, predominantly resulting from asphyxia (56.3%). Targeted temperature management characteristics were not different between groups, although the p-SAH cohort had worse neurologic outcomes at discharge (100% vs 67.2%; P < .001). Pseudo-subarachnoid hemorrhage had 11.5% sensitivity, 100% specificity, 100% positive predictive value, and 32.8% negative predictive value for poor neurologic outcome. CONCLUSIONS:Pseudo-subarachnoid hemorrhage sign might be one of the simple methods to identify poor neurologic outcome early. However, further prospective studies will be needed to clarify the clinical implication of the p-SAH sign.
