Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Die ERC-Leitlinien empfehlen im Rahmen der Nachbehandlung nach Wiederbelebung eine routinemäßige Koronarographie und eventuelle perkutane Koronarintervention (PCI) bei Patienten mit vermuteter koronarer Ursache des Kreislaufstillstands. Neben dem Analogschluss zum unkomplizierten Infarkt ist die Grundlage hierfür eine angebliche diagnostische Unsicherheit bezüglich Koronarverschlüssen, die eine Abklärung notwendig machen würde. Daneben werden zahlreiche Berichte und Fallserien zur Überlebensrate mit gutem neurologischem Outcome für die Empfehlungen herangezogen. Die ungewöhnlich guten Ergebnisse sind möglicherweise Folge einer im Einzelfall nicht sicher nachvollziehbaren Patientenselektion und eines Publikationsbias. Hierfür spricht v. a., dass der Einfluss der PCI bei ST-Streckenhebungsinfarkt (STEMI) bzw. Non-STEMI-ACS mit Kreislaufstillstand auf das Outcome höher zu sein scheint als bei routinemäßiger Anwendung im Rahmen eines unkomplizierten STEMI oder eines Non-STEM-ACS.

Empfehlung

Aus den offenen Fragen ergeben sich die Forderung und Notwendigkeit, künftige Leitlinien auf den Boden einer ausreichend großen kontrollierten randomisierten Studie zu stellen, aus der der tatsächliche Nutzen eines interventionellen Vorgehens nach erfolgreicher CPR hervorgeht. Die Tatsache, dass das Risiko einer Intervention zumindest bei erfolgreicher PCI relativ begrenzt zu sein scheint und einige Publikationen aus nichtrandomisierten Studien reichen als Begründung der Empfehlungen für diese kritisch kranken Patienten nicht aus.

Abstract

Background

The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines on post-resuscitation care recommend coronary angiography and if suitable a subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for survivors of cardiac arrest potentially caused by coronary heart disease. These recommendations originate from analogy conclusions with respect to procedures for uncomplicated STEMI and non-STEMI-ACS by an assumed uncertainty regarding the diagnostic reliability of a 12-lead electrocardiograph (ECG) after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and finally based on larger case series reporting exceptionally high survival rates and good neurological outcome in patients where PCI was performed soon after hospital admission. Patient selection as well as a publication bias may at least in part explain the astonishing results reported. The latter assumption seems to be supported by the observation that the positive influence of PCI on outcome of patients with ACS and cardiac arrest reported in these series is several fold higher compared to the outcome of patients with uncomplicated ACS.

Recommendations

Good clinical practice requires that recommendations are based on results of controlled randomized trials. Consequently and with regard to the potential risks, controlled randomized trials in sufficiently large populations are necessary and should be urgently performed to come to reliable future guideline recommendations on the role of invasive procedures after successfully resuscitated cardiac arrest of suspected coronary origin.
