The Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) III is the only score that can predict hospital mortality within an hour of admission to ICU. The objective was to evaluate the performance of SAPS III to predict mortality for post-CA patients. This retrospective single-center observational study included all patients admitted to ICU after CA between August 2010 and March 2013. The calibration (standardized mortality ratio [SMR]) and the discrimination of SAPS III (area under the curve [AUC] for receiver operating characteristic [ROC]) were measured. Univariate logistic regression tested the relationship between death and scores for SAPS III, SAPS II, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score and Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA) score. Independent factors associated with mortality were determined. One-hundred twenty-four patients including 97 out-of-hospital CA were included. In-hospital mortality was 69%. The SAPS III was unable to predict mortality (SMRSAPS III: 1.26) and was less discriminating than other scores (AUCSAPSIII: 0.62 [0.51, 0.73] vs. 0.75 [0.66, 0.84], AUCSOFA: 0.72 [0.63, 0.81], AUCOHCA: 0.84 [0.77, 0.91]). An early return of spontaneous circulation, early resuscitation care and initial ventricular arrhythmia were associated with a better prognosis. The SAPS III did not predict mortality in patients admitted to ICU after CA. The amount of time before specialized CPR, the low-flow interval and the absence of an initial ventricular arrhythmia appeared to be independently associated with mortality and these factors should be used to predict mortality for these patients.

After the French President asked a specific expert to review end of life issues, the French Intensive Care Society (SRLF) surveyed their members (doctors and paramedics) about various aspects of end of life in the ICU. SRLF members were invited to respond to a questionnaire, sent by Email, designed to assess their knowledge of Leonetti's law and to determine how many caregivers would agree with the authorization of lethal drug administration in selected end of life situations. Questionnaires returned by 616 (23%) of 2,700 members were analyzed. Most members (82.5%) reported that they had a good knowledge of Leonetti's law, which most (88%) said they have often applied. One third of respondents had received 'assisted death' requests from ...

Dans le contexte de la mission confiée au Pr Didier Sicard par le président de la République sur la fin de vie, la Société de réanimation de langue française (SRLF), par l’intermédiaire de sa commission d’éthique, a voulu connaître l’avis des personnels de réanimation, médecins et paramédicaux sur un certain nombre de points concernant la fin de vie en réanimation. Un questionnaire évaluant la connaissance de la loi Leonetti ainsi que la proportion des soignants favorables, dans certaines situations de fin de vie, à l’administration de substances directement létales, a été proposé par voie électronique auxmembres médicaux et paramédicaux de la SRLF. À partir des 2 700 sollicitations, les réponses de 616 (23 %) questionnaires ont été analysées. La majorité...

We performed this prospective study in 41 ICUs to determine the prevalence and determinants of complicated grief after death of a loved one in the ICU. Relatives of 475 adult patients were followed up. Complicated grief was assessed at 6 and 12 months using the Inventory of Complicated Grief (cut-off score >25). Relatives also completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at 3 months, and the Revised Impact of Event Scale for post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms at 3, 6 and 12 months. We used a mixed multivariate logistic regression model to identify determinants of complicated grief after 6 months. Among the 475 patients, 282 (59.4%) had a relative evaluated at 6 months. Complicated grief symptoms were identified in 147 (52%) relatives. Independent determinants of complicated grief symptoms were either not amenable to changes (relative of female sex, relative living alone and intensivist board cer...

An electronic questionnaire was set up. We directed the survey at French ICUs physicians registered in the two Colleges directories, only one form was filled in by each participating unit. From December 2009 to February 2010, Among the 170 replies, 120 ICUs (71%) practiced MMC. No difference in the typology of the two groups was found. The median annual number of MMCs was 4 per year (1-15). The perimeter of the MMCs concerned only the ICU unit in 70 cases (58%), more than one ICU unit in the same department in 11 cases (9.8%), more than one department of ICU in 16 cases (13%) and other departments in 57 cases (48%). The events analyzed were: all deaths in 45 cases (37.5%), unexpected deaths in 50 cases (41.7%), severe adverse events in 67 cases (55.8%) and other events in 19 cases (15.8%). At least one adverse event defined by the two colleges in the process of "accreditation" was analyzed in 86 cases (72%). Participation of a physician of at least one other unit was reported in 56 cases (47%) and of medical students in 62 cases (52%). The low rate of participation of ICU nurses was reported in 62 cases (69.2%) and their absence in 35 cases (29%). MMCs consequences were drafting of new procedure in 99 cases (83%), changes in procedures in 75 cases (63%), conducting training programs in 60 cases (50%), organizational changes in 86 cases (72%), adverse event declaration in 21 cases (18%) and monitoring indicators in 40 cases (33%). Among units which did not practice MMCs, Identified obstacles were organizational causes in 25 cases (50%), inexperience in seven cases (14%), lack of methodology in 4 cases (8%), realization of other methods of formative assessment in 4 cases (8%) and physician's refusal in three cases (6%). The fear of medico-legal problem was never reported as a barrier to MMCs practice. Forty-five units (90%) projected to practice MMR. This survey showed that the practice of MMR is common in French ICUs, allowing the identification of organizational problems, but also of training needs, joining one of the initial concerns that have led to their implementation. Expanding the participation to non-physician members of the units should be encouraged, without underestimating the difficulties particularly in the organizational domains that represent an obstacle to development of MMCs.
