Animal studies
Cardiac Arrest and Oxygen: Stephen Bernard
 Multicenter retrospective cohort study
 120 US hospitals 2001-2005
 Non-traumatic cardiac arrest within 24 hours
of ICU admission
 Association between PaO2 of 1st
ABG in ICU
and in-hospital mortality
-Hyperoxia mortality rate 63%
-Hypoxia mortality rate 57%
-Normoxia mortality rate 45%

The EXACT pilot study
Reduction of oxygen after cardiac arrest
 Phase 2 study
 Post VF arrest with pulse oximeter >94%
 Paramedics randomise O2 to 2L/min or
>10L/min
 Increase to >10L/min if desaturation / re-arrest
The EXACT pilot study
Reduction of oxygen after cardiac arrest
 34 patients
 5/18 allocated to 2L/min desaturated <94%
 0/16 allocated to 10L/min desaturated <94%
The EXACT Phase 3 study
 NHMRC funded for 2016-2019
 3 States in Australia
 1,360 patients post cardiac arrest
 Sample size based on 35% to 44% survival
increase
 Paramedic randomisation to 4L/min then 2L/min
with target O2 sat 90-94%
 Continue allocation through to ICU

Editor's Notes

  • #6: Hct values obtained from northern elephant seal pups during forced diving (n = 3). Diving Hct is significantly different from predive Hct in min 5 and 6. A trend toward a continued increase in Hct during the dive is observed and values returned to predive levels by postdive (PD) min 10 (ANOVA, F(3,8) = 11.01, P = 0.003; Tukey–Kramer HSD, P = 0.05).
  • #7: Thoracic images of a northern elephant seal during rest and simulated diving. (Left) Images are from the region immediately caudal to the diaphragm. (Right) Images are 12 cm caudal to the diaphragm. Rapid contraction of the spleen and simultaneous filling of the hepatic sinus are observed.
