Reality check
Most critical conditions fatal 50yrs ago
Now, >80% (all comers) survive to leave ICU
….But NOT if they arrestBrindley CJGIM 2010
Brindley & Beed BJA 2014
• CPR unless explicit contrary documentation
• >8 billion on ICU (1 billion futile CPR)
• 75% die in hospital; 25% in ICU
• 90% die following w/d or w/h

• Outcome depends most upon:– Who gets resuscitated
• Arrest type• If witnessed (or not)• If reversed within 10 mins
–WHO gets CPR; less HOW
near 100% Sensitivity

“<1 in 2”
• Greatest impact on survival: ARREST TYPE & IF WITNESSED
• Consider all stages: “ROSC is the beginning of new suffering”.
• ? Universal resuscitation• “Full code” unless explicitly documented
otherwise
• ? Cardiac resuscitation c/t respiratory• 1-in-2 respiratory arrests survived
Brindley et al. CMAJ 2002;
No un-wit cardiac arrest dischargedSafest place to arrest…Vegas casino (>70% Valenzuela NEJM)Or TV medical drama (>60% Diem NEJM)
No improvement in >60 years
Survival not associated with “chronologic” age
Frailty matters more
Survival worse at night/early am.More un-witnessed, more PEA/ASY, less staff
Brindley et al. CMAJ 2002; Brindley critical care review 2005
& the Expensive Care Unit ? Is survival increased ?
Arrests witnessedStaff and resources present
? Is survival decreased ?Patients f-sick Already receiving ““CPR””
Kutsogiannis DJ et al. CMAJ 2011 (n=510)Chang SH et al. J Crit Care 2009 (n=202)
Tiam J et al. Am J Resp CCM 2006 (n=49,000)
ROSC incr’d in ICU59% v 48%
Survival to discharge highest in CVICU CCU GSICU 75% v 70% v 45%
No effect from arrest time-of-day
Kutsogiannis, Bagshaw, Brindley CMAJ 2011
Similar to witnessed in-hospital
Advantage d/t less PEA/ASY
3-month survival not significantly better
No improvement in 2 decades
WHO NOT HOWKutsogiannis et al. 2011 (n=510)
ICU post-CPR survival:
Inappropriate CPR
4)Not knowing when to stop
5)Inadequate communication
1)Lack of background knowledge
2)Inadequate recognition
3)Inadequate early response
CPR survival: recognition and response
In-hospital (non-ICU) Cardiac Arrest
63% Pulseless electrical activity/ Asystole
12% Primary respiratory 27% Ventricular fibrillation/Pulseless ventricular
tachycardia
Brindley et al. CMAJ 2002
Least recorded BUT most specific predictor
…of deterioration, “unexpected” ICU

In-hospital arrest…a system failure
ECMO & adult cardiac arrest
Adult E-CPR?
• 40% survival to discharge (c/t 25%)
• Higher mortality if: started >30mins; >65 yrs; >2 days ecmo
• Large resource/cost commitment
Shin TG CCM 2011 (n=120); Chen Resusc 2010 (n=122); Chen Lancet 2008 (n= 59) ; Cardarelli ASAIO 2009 (n=135)
Adult ECMO arrest better if:– Sooner– Briefer– Arrest type/ Path (AMI; PE)
WHO not

“everything” v “nothing”
“Assault”
“Natural Death”
“Neglect”
“Giving up”
ICU/ED RRURelationship Repair Unit
• >30% DNAR w/o consent• 9% “ageism”; 8% “anti-disabled”; 5%
“euthanasia”
• 2%: d/t “over resuscitation”• 6%: pre-emptive decision-making
Beed, De Beer, Brindley. Resuscitation 2014 .
Draft 1
Oh, and the OR…
• >10% of OR patients have a DNR
• ‘Widespread confusion…’– anesthetist’s job involves
‘resuscitation’– OR death NOT like other death

Oh…and autonomy
WTF : ”””Patient focused care””””?
• What it is :– Communication– Partnership– Includes values
• What it is not :– Technology-centered– Doctor-centered– Hospital-centered
Irwin and Richardson CHEST 2006
More ICU v Better Death?
• PFC not collected by QUALY • EOL care rarely “cost effective”
• Lots of limitations…………BUT
Bryce et al Quality of Death. Med Care 2004Ward and Teno (commentary) 406-407
So what do patients want?• EOL Survey
• ¾ trade shorter-life for better EOL– ¼ wouldn’t
• Average 10 months– Low 7; high 24
In summary:
•Resuscitating sick people works•Resuscitating dead people
doesn’t
