BACKGROUND: We investigated the effectiveness of automated pupillometry on monitoring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and predicting return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in a swine model of cardiac arrest (CA).

METHODS: Sixteen male domestic pigs were included. Traditional indices including coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) and carotid blood flow (CBF) were continuously monitored throughout the experiment. In addition, the pupillary parameters including the initial pupil size before constriction (Init, maximum diameter), the end pupil size at peak constriction (End, minimum diameter), and percentage of change (%PLR) were measured by an automated quantitative pupillometer at baseline, at 1, 4, 7 min during CA, and at 1, 4, 7 min during CPR.

RESULTS: ROSC was achieved in 11/16 animals. The levels of CPP, ETCO2, rSO2 and CBF were significantly greater during CPR in resuscitated animals than those non-resuscitated ones. Init and End were decreased and %PLR was increased during CPR in resuscitated animals when compared with those non-resuscitated ones. There were moderate to good significant correlations between traditional indices and Init, End, and %PLR (|r| = 0.46-0.78, all P < 0.001). Furthermore, comparable performance was also achieved by automated pupillometry (AUCs of Init, End and %PLR were 0.821, 0.873 and 0.821, respectively, all P < 0.05) compared with the traditional indices (AUCs = 0.809-0.946).

CONCLUSION: The automated pupillometry may serve as an effective surrogate method to monitor cardiopulmonary resuscitation efficacy and predict ROSC in a swine model of cardiac arrest.
