TAME Trial: Mild Hypercapnia vs Normocapnia in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Posted by Marco Torres on
Background Information: Cardiac arrest is a devastating event that imposes considerable human and financial burdens. While it is widely recognized that cardiac arrest leads to brain injury, what is often overlooked is the persistent cerebral hypoperfusion that continues even after circulation is restored. The sustained cerebral hypoperfusion can be attributed to impaired cerebrovascular auto-regulation, which renders normal arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) insufficient in achieving and maintaining adequate cerebral perfusion and oxygenation 2,3. However, PaCO2 plays a crucial role in regulating cerebral blood flow, and elevating it through mild hypercapnia significantly increases cerebral blood flow. The malleability of arterial carbon dioxide makes it a potential therapeutic target. In response to this critical issue, the TAME Cardiac Arrest Trial has been launched as a definitive phase III multi-center randomized controlled trial for resuscitated cardiac arrest patients. This trial aimed to assess whether targeted therapeutic mild hypercapnia (TTMH) applied during the initial 24 hours of mechanical ventilation in the ICU can enhance neurological outcomes at the 6-month mark, as compared to standard care, which involves targeted normocapnia (TN).
