CRT 2011 Cool New Therapies for Cardiac Arrest: What you need to know to save lives Dr. Michael Mooney Director Interventional Cardiology Minneapolis Heart Institute Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine University of Minnesota
Michael R. Mooney, MD I have no real or apparent conflicts of interest to report. I intend to reference off label or unapproved uses of drugs or devices in my presentation. I intend to discuss therapeutic hypmia which is not FDA approved, it is ILCOR and ACC indicated, however.
Cardiac Arrest Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) affects 295,000 people annually in the US 7.9% median survival rate Anoxic encephalopathy and neurologic deficits are common and disabling - among survivors Modest gain with CPR advances, many failed clinical trials – BRCT - barbiturates Enormous public health issue - personal, family & societal burdens Growing awareness of needed cardio-cerebral protection Lloyd-Jones D, Adams R, Carnethon M et al.

The Importance of Speed Endovascular Peritoneal * **Bradley et al, American Heart Journal, June 2006 16
Why Use the Peritoneal Cavity? Efficient heat exchange > 50% of total blood flow Large surface area Time to target (10 - 15 minutes to 34°C) Eliminates femoral access interference Eliminates upper chest and neck area interference 17
Peritoneal Cooling - Velomedix™, Inc Automated Peritoneal Lavage System (APLS) Efficient heat exchange Tight control for cooling and warming Does not restrict access Fully automated system 18
Rates of Cooling for Available Technologies 7.1 °C/hr 2.7 °C/hr 1.6 °C/hr 1.5 °C/hr 1.3 °C/hr * ** Data sources Thermosuit: Company literature Alsius: Published literature including Wolff paper . Wolff cited an average of 6.8 hrs to target temp with a range of 4-9 hrs. InnerCool: ICE-IT data showed an average of 1.5 hrs. to Target Temp Medivance: Mooney’s paper showed an average time to target temp of 2.7 hrs. with Arctic Sun 2 °C Cooling Time (minutes) * Esophageal Temp (n=2) ** Grines, TCT 2004 19

Theory meets Practice? – not yet Less than 7% of OOHCA pts get TH - <15,000 of 295,000 Fewer than 300 hospitals have programs or equipment of 6,000 eligible hospitals Awareness and funding limited – FDA approval and perceived complexity are barriers Yet innovation and iteration flourish and successful programs lead the way Research continues – despite challenges b/o enormous persistent unmet need
To maximize benefits, cooling should be initiated as soon as possible. Cardiovascular Emergency Centers To maximize benefits, cooling should be initiated as soon as possible. Survival benefits are dramatic. But, we under-deliver this lifesaving treatment Systems of Care Do Make a Difference TH capable Acute MI PCI centers should offer this lifesaving treatment, it is a public health care imperative. To achieve equivalent access and outcomes in rural and metro patients by providing one Standard of Care for an entire Region for the most complex cardiac emergencies including acute STEMI and cardiac arrest
