Abstract:
Rescuing patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), especially those with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), is challenging. This study hypothesizes that OHCA patients with ESKD undergoing maintenance hemodialysis have (1) higher rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and (2) lower rates of hyperkalemia and less severe acidosis than those without ESKD. OHCA patients who received CPR between 2011 and 2020 were dichotomized into ESKD and non-ESKD groups. The association of ESKD with “any” and “sustained” ROSC were examined using logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, the effect of ESKD on hospital outcomes for OHCA patients who survived to admission was evaluated using Kaplan–Meier analysis. ESKD patients without “any” ROSC displayed lower potassium and higher pH levels than non-ESKD patients. ESKD was positively associated with “any” ROSC (adjusted-OR: 4.82, 95% CI 2.70–5.16, P 〈 0.01) and “sustained” ROSC (adjusted-OR: 9.45, 95% CI 3.83–24.13, P 〈 0.01). Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated ESKD patients had a non-inferior hospital survival than non-ESKD patients. OHCA patients with ESKD had lower serum potassium level and less severe acidosis compared to the general population in Taiwan; therefore, should not be treated under the stereotypical assumption that hyperkalemia and acidosis always occur.
