Abstract
To analyze the relationship between stress hormones (arginine vasopressin (ADH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol and the outcome of patients resuscitated after cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA). Thirty-six patients were enrolled in this study. In 36 of the resuscitated cases, 27 were non-survivors and 9 survived. The survival group was defined as cases either in a persistent vegetative state, with some disability or good recovery 1 month after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The non-survival group was defined as cases who died within 1 month. The plasma ADH and ACTH levels and the serum cortisol levels in both the surviving and the non-surviving patients were 82.3+/-74.5 and 149.6+/-135.4 (pg/ml), 239.7+/-327.4 and 282.4+/-553.0 (pg/ml), 34.1+/-11.2 and 19.0+/-12.8 (g/ml) (mean+/-S.D., respectively). The plasma ADH and ACTH levels showed no significant difference between the two groups. The serum cortisol levels were significantly higher in survivors than in the non-survivors (P=0.029). We also used the receiving-operating characteristics (ROC) curves to evaluate the optimal cutoff value of the concentration of serum cortisol as a predictive maker of non-surviving patients. The cutoff value of 16.7 g/ml for...Continue Reading
