CPR Quality: Physiologic Monitoring

• Physiologic monitoring can optimize CPR quality.
• If CPR is inadequate, consider more invasive measures like ECPR or coronary angiography and PCI.
• After prolonged arrest, inadequate CPR can contribute to the decision to stop resuscitation.
• Traditional monitoring includes ECG and palpation of carotid or femoral artery pulses.
• ECG indicates electrical activity, not mechanical activity.
• Monitoring modalities can be challenging to initiate during CPR.
• CPP, ETco2, and Scvo2 monitoring can detect inadequate CPR.
• These techniques are useful in the immediate post–cardiac arrest period.

End- Tidal Carbon Dioxide

• PETco2 is a reliable indicator of cardiac output during CPR.
• PETco2 is measured through waveform capnography after endotracheal intubation.
• PETco2 depends on CO2 production, alveolar ventilation, and pulmonary blood flow.
• Increased cardiac output during CPR will significantly increase PETco2 when minute ventilation is held constant.
• ROSC causes immediate and significant increases in PETco2.
• PETco2 monitoring can detect ROSC during the chest compression cycle.
• PETco2 values of 10 mm Hg or more are needed or resuscitation after cardiac arrest is likely to fail.
• Values less than 10 mm Hg should prompt the clinician to enhance the quality of CPR.
• PETco2 monitoring can help differentiate PEA patients with mechanical heart activity vs those without
• PETco2 levels may be elevated in PEA patients with mechanical heart activity, even without compressions.
• Volume expansion or the use of vasopressors and inotropes is indicated in such cases.
• PETco2 monitoring can rapidly detect the success of tension pneumothorax decompression.
• PETco2 monitoring can rapidly detect the success of pericardiocentesis for pericardial tamponade.
• PETco2 monitoring can rapidly detect the success of fluid resuscitation for hypovolemia.
• PETco2 monitoring is valuable after ROSC to monitor endotracheal tube placement and avoid hyperventilation.
• PETco2 monitoring is valuable after ROSC to detect sudden hemodynamic deterioration.

Central Venous Oxygen Saturation

• Scvo2 provides an additional method to monitor the adequacy of resuscitative measures.
• There is a close correlation between Scvo2 and SvO2 during CPR.
• Changes in Scvo2 reflect changes in oxygen delivery by means of changes in cardiac output.
• Multi-lumen oximetric Scvo2 catheters can be used to monitor Scvo2 in real time.
• Scvo2 values normally range from 60% to 80%
• During cardiac arrest and CPR, normal Scvo2 values range from 25% to 35%.
• Failure to achieve an Scvo2 of 40% or greater during CPR has a negative predictive value for ROSC of almost 100%.
• Scvo2 helps to detect ROSC rapidly without interruption of chest compressions.
• Scvo2 monitoring is useful in the post–cardiac arrest period for hemodynamic optimization.
• Scvo2 monitoring is useful in the post–cardiac arrest period for recognition of any sudden deterioration.

Echocardiography

• The main use of echocardiography is diagnostic, especially in patients with PEA to distinguish EMD from pseudo- EMD.
• Echocardiography May also help diagnose mechanical causes of PEA such as pericardial tamponade and pulmonary embolism.
• Echocardiography can help guide pericardiocentesis.
• TEE during CPR has been associated with shorter chest compression pauses than transthoracic echocardiography.
• TEE may provide an additional visual method to monitor effectiveness of chest compressions in real time.
• Echocardiography can prove valuable in evaluating myocardial dysfunction.
• Echocardiography determines the need for mechanical assistance of the failing heart.

Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

• VA- ECMO is used as rescue therapy for refractory adult and pediatric IHCA as ECPR.
• Observational and case- control studies have suggested benefit in highly selected patients with refractory OHCA.
• These patients saw rates of survival with good neurologic function ranging from 11% to 33%.
• Timely arterial and venous access, placement of cannulas, and initiation of ECPR support is critical to success.
• ECPR is most successful when flow is initiated within 60 minutes of cardiac arrest onset.
• Survivors typically require 2 to 5 days before they can be successfully weaned from ECMO support.
• Common complications include coagulopathy, hemorrhage, limb ischemia, vascular injury, renal replacement therapy, and stroke.
• The implementation of an ECPR program for refractory OHCA is resource- intensive.

Laboratory Testing

• Intermittent arterial and venous blood sampling for gas or chemistry analysis is of limited use during CPR.
• Typical blood gas. findings during CPR demonstrate venous respiratory acidosis and arterial respiratory alkalosis.
• Other laboratory studies during CPR are typically not available in time to guide therapy.
• Serum electrolyte levels may be ordered to rule out electrolyte abnormalities.
• Empirical therapy should be initiated immediately if clinical suspicion exists
• Low hemoglobin levels may indicate bleeding

Arterial Blood Pressure and Coronary Perfusion Pressure

• Successful resuscitation of the arrested heart depends on generating adequate CPP during CPR.
• CPP is calculated by subtracting right atrial diastolic pressure from aortic diastolic pressure.
• A minimum CPP of 15 mm Hg is necessary to achieve ROSC if initial defibrillation attempts have failed.
• CPP monitoring is rarely feasible in ED resuscitations of cardiac arrest patients.
• Invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring alone can be helpful in guiding resuscitation.
• Human studies have shown that radial or femoral arterial relaxation pressures reliably reflect aortic relaxation pressures during CPR.
• Monitoring arterial diastolic blood pressure as a surrogate for CPP has been proposed.
• Titrating resuscitation efforts to arterial relaxation (diastolic) pressure is less reliable than CPP.
• Improper CPR and hyperventilation can cause undetected elevations in the right atrial pressure, reducing coronary perfusion.
• Titrate resuscitation efforts to achieve an arterial relaxation (diastolic) pressure of 20 to 25 mm Hg or more when invasive arterial pressure monitoring is available.
• Invasive arterial pressure monitoring during CPR may also help detect ROSC and assist in serial arterial blood gas monitoring.
• 10% to 20% of patients initially achieving ROSC will re- arrest.

Post–Cardiac Arrest Care

• Management includes rapid diagnosis and treatment of the disorders that caused the arrest and complications of prolonged global ischemia.
• A comprehensive, goal- directed program of post–cardiac arrest care is necessary to optimize survival and neurologic recovery.

Hypothermic Targeted Temperature Management

• HTTM in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest has been shown to improve survival and functional outcome.
• These studies enrolled only comatose survivors of OHCA that were witnessed arrests and had an initial rhythm of VF.

Algorithmes de tri

Functional Analysis

Introduction

Functional analysis emerged from linear algebra and topology. It deals with vector spaces and operators, incorporating topological concepts like completeness, continuity, and convergence.

Vector Space

A vector space is a set $X$ with operations + (addition) and $\cdot$ (scalar multiplication) satisfying certain axioms.

Metric Space

A metric space is a set $X$ with a distance function $d: X \times X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ satisfying:

1. $d(x, y) \geq 0$ and $d(x, y) = 0$ iff $x = y$
2. $d(x, y) = d(y, x)$
3. $d(x, z) \leq d(x, y) + d(y, z)$

Normed Vector Space

A normed vector space is a vector space with a norm $|\cdot|: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ satisfying:

1. $|x| \geq 0$ and $|x| = 0$ iff $x = y$
2. $|\alpha x| = |\alpha||x|$
3. $|x + y| \leq |x| + |y|$

Banach Space

A Banach space is a complete normed vector space. Completeness means every Cauchy sequence converges.

Inner Product Space

An inner product space has an inner product $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle: X \times X \rightarrow \mathbb{F}$ satisfying:

1. $\langle x, x \rangle \geq 0$ and $\langle x, x \rangle = 0$ iff $x = 0$
2. $\langle x, y \rangle = \overline{\langle y, x \rangle}$
3. $\langle \alpha x + \beta y, z \rangle = \alpha \langle x, z \rangle + \beta \langle y, z \rangle$

Hilbert Space

A Hilbert space is a complete inner product space.

Linear Operator

A linear operator $T: X \rightarrow Y$ satisfies $T(\alpha x + \beta y) = \alpha T(x) + \beta T(y)$.

Bounded Linear Operator

A bounded linear operator has a finite norm: $|T| = \sup_{|x| \leq 1} |T(x)|$.

Dual Space

The dual space $X'$ consists of all bounded linear functionals on $X$.

Key Theorems

• Hahn-Banach Theorem: Allows extension of linear functionals.
• Banach-Steinhaus (Uniform Boundedness Principle): States that if a collection of bounded linear operators is pointwise bounded, it is uniformly bounded.
• Open Mapping Theorem: States that a surjective bounded linear operator between Banach spaces is an open map.
• Closed Graph Theorem: States that if the graph of a linear operator between Banach spaces is closed, then the operator is bounded.

Algorithmic Game Theory

What is Game Theory?

Game theory is a mathematical framework for analyzing strategic interactions between individuals or entities, where the outcome of one's choices depends on the choices of others.

Key Concepts

• Players: The decision-makers involved in the game.
• Strategies: The possible courses of action available to each player.
• Payoffs: The outcomes or rewards received by each player based on the combination of strategies chosen by all players.
• Rationality: The assumption that players act in their best interests to maximize their payoffs.

Types of Games

• Cooperative vs. Non-cooperative: Whether players can form binding agreements.
• Zero-sum vs. Non-zero-sum: Whether one player's gain is necessarily another's loss.
• Complete vs. Incomplete Information: Whether players have full knowledge of the game's structure and other players' payoffs.
• Static vs. Dynamic: Whether players move simultaneously or sequentially.

What is Algorithmic Game Theory?

Algorithmic Game Theory (AGT) combines game theory with computer science, focusing on the computational aspects of games.

Key Topics in AGT

• Nash Equilibrium: A stable state where no player has an incentive to unilaterally deviate from their chosen strategy.
• Mechanism Design: Designing rules and incentives to achieve desired outcomes in a game.
• Applications: Applying game-theoretic and algorithmic techniques to real-world problems in areas like economics, networking, and artificial intelligence.
• Social Choice Theory: Analyzing how collective decisions are made based on individual preferences.
• Auctions: Designing and analyzing different auction formats.
• Coalitional Game Theory: Studying how groups of players can form coalitions to achieve better outcomes.
• Learning in Games: Investigating how players can learn to play optimally in repeated games.

Example: The Prisoner's Dilemma

The Prisoner's Dilemma is a classic example of a non-cooperative, non-zero-sum game.

Scenario

Two suspects are arrested for a crime and interrogated separately. Each suspect has the option to cooperate (remain silent) or defect (betray the other).

Payoff Matrix

Analysis

• Dominant Strategy: Defecting is the dominant strategy for both prisoners, regardless of the other's choice.
• Nash Equilibrium: Both prisoners defecting is the Nash Equilibrium, even though both would be better off if they both cooperated.
• Implications: Illustrates the conflict between individual rationality and collective welfare.

Applications of Algorithmic Game Theory

• Internet Routing: Designing protocols that incentivize routers to route traffic efficiently.
• Online Advertising: Developing auction mechanisms for allocating ad slots.
• Social Networks: Analyzing the spread of information and influence in social networks.
• E-commerce: Designing pricing strategies and recommendation systems that maximize revenue.
• Economics: A cornerstone of economic modeling.
• Political Science: Used in the study of fair division.

Algorithmic Game Theory provides a powerful set of tools for analyzing strategic interactions and designing systems that align individual incentives with collective goals. By combining game theory with computer science, AGT addresses the computational challenges that arise in complex, real-world scenarios.
