Abstrakt: Aim: Postresuscitation hemodynamics are associated with hospital mortality/functional outcome. We sought to determine whether low-dose steroids started during and continued after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affect postresuscitation hemodynamics and other physiological variables in vasopressor-requiring, in-hospital cardiac arrest.
Methods: We conducted a two-center, randomized, double-blind trial of patients with adrenaline (epinephrine)-requiring cardiac arrest. Patients were randomized to receive either methylprednisolone 40 mg (steroids group) or normal saline-placebo (control group) during the first CPR cycle post-enrollment. Postresuscitation shock was treated with hydrocortisone 240 mg daily for 7 days maximum and gradual taper (steroids group), or saline-placebo (control group). Primary outcomes were arterial pressure and central-venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2 ) within 72 hours post - ROSC.
Results: Eighty nine of 98 controls and 80 of 86 steroids group patients with ROSC were treated as randomized. Primary outcome data were collected from 100 patients with ROSC (control, n  = 54; steroids, n  = 46). In intention-to-treat mixed-model analyses, there was no significant effect of group on arterial pressure, marginal mean (95% confidence interval) for mean arterial pressure, steroids vs. control: 74 (68-80) vs. 72 (66-79) mmHg] and ScvO 2 [71 (68-75)% vs. 69 (65-73)%], cardiac index [2.8 (2.5-3.1) vs. 2.9 (2.5-3.2) L/min/m 2 ], and serum cytokine concentrations [e.g. interleukin-6, 89.1 (42.8-133.9) vs. 75.7 (52.1-152.3) pg/mL] determined within 72 hours post-ROSC ( P  = 0.12-0.86). There was no between-group difference in body temperature, echocardiographic variables, prefrontal blood flow index/cerebral autoregulation, organ failure-free days, and hazard for poor in-hospital/functional outcome, and adverse events ( P  = 0.08->0.99).
Conclusions: Our results do not support the use of low-dose corticosteroids in in-hospital cardiac arrest. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT02790788 ( https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ).
