• Many in-hospital cardiac arrests are precipitated by hypotension, often associated with systemic inflammation. These patients are less likely to be successfully resuscitated, and novel approaches to their treatment are needed. To determine if the addition of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) to hemodynamic-directed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (HD-CPR) would improve short-term survival from cardiac arrest associated with shock and systemic inflammation. In 3-month-old swine (n = 21), LPS was intravenously infused, inducing systemic hypotension. Ventricular fibrillation was induced, and animals were randomized to blinded treatment with either: 1) HD-CPR with iNO, or 2) HD-CPR without iNO. During HD-CPR, chest compression depth was titrated to peak aortic compression pressure of 100 mm Hg, and vasopressor administration was titrated to coronary perfusion pressure greater than or equal to 20 mm Hg. Defibrillation attempts began after 10 minutes of resuscitation. The primary outcome was 45-minute survival. The iNO group had higher rates of 45-minute survival (10 of 10 vs. 3 of 11; P = 0.001). During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the iNO group had lower pulmonary artery relaxation pressure (mean ± SEM, 10.9 ± 2.4 vs. 18.4 ± 2.4 mm Hg; P = 0.03), higher coronary perfusion pressure (21.1 ± 1.5 vs. 16.9 ± 1.0 mm Hg; P = 0.005), and higher aortic relaxation pressure (36.6 ± 1.6 vs. 30.4 ± 1.1 mm Hg; P < 0.001) despite shallower chest compressions (5.88 ± 0.25 vs. 6.46 ± 0.40 cm; P = 0.02) and fewer vasopressor doses in the first 10 minutes (median, 4 [interquartile range, 3-4] vs. 5 [interquartile range, 5-6], P = 0.03). The addition of iNO to HD-CPR in LPS-induced shock-associated cardiac arrest improved short-term survival and intraarrest hemodynamics.
