CONSENSUS on SCIENCE: “Available evidence, albeit from relatively small numbers of babies, suggests that babies born without a heart rate which has not returned by 10 minutes of age are likely to either die or have severe neurological disability. (LOE 4, Casalaz, 1998,F112; Jain, 1991,778). It is not known whether there was significant selection bias in many of these studies, nor indeed that the babies included in them did receive “good quality resuscitation.” One study with a large contemporary cohort of infants (some randomized to post resuscitation hypothermia) indicates that in babies born without detectable heart rate, the lack of return of spontaneous circulation after 10 minutes of age is associated with survival without severe neurological deficit in a small number of the survivors (LOE Laptook 2010 p1619). Data are not available on the number of infants who were deemed too sick for study entry or died before enrollment. These factors may have resulted in a significant overestimation of the rate of intact survival among infants with an Apgar score of 0 at 10 minutes. In all reported series, the cause of the asphyxia and the efficacy of the resuscitation process was not elucidated.”
Dallas 20152010 CoSTR
TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION: “In a newly born baby with no detectable heart rate which remains undetectable for 10 minutes, it is appropriate to then consider stopping resuscitation. The decision to continue resuscitation efforts beyond 10 minutes of no heart rate is often complex and may be influenced by issues such as the presumed etiology of the arrest, the gestation of the baby, the presence or absence of complications, and the parents’ previous expressed feelings about acceptable risk of morbidity.”

Dallas 2015Inclusion/Exclusion& Articles Found
Inclusions/Exclusions Inclusion Criteria: Randomized studies, studies with concurrent controls or with historical controls and meta-analysis. Exclusion Criteria: Review articles, animal studies and studies that did not specifically answer the question. Unpublished studies, and studies only published in abstract form, unless accepted for publication were also excluded.
14 finally evaluated3 RCT’s 11 observational studies
Dallas 20152015 Proposed Treatment Recommendations
We suggest that, in babies with an Apgar score of zero after 10 minutes of adequate resuscitation with effective ventilation, CC and IV epinephrine, if heart rate remains undetectable, it is reasonable to withdraw support. However, the decision to continue or withdraw resuscitative efforts should be individualized at the time of resuscitation. Variables to be taken into consideration may include availability of advanced neonatal care, including therapeutic hypothermia, specific circumstances prior to delivery (e.g., known timing of the insult) and wishes expressed by the family. .

Dallas 2015Proposed Consensus on Science statements
In infants ≥ 36 weeks gestational age who have an Apgar score of zero after 10 minutes of effective resuscitation, what are the outcomes?
•For the critical outcome of death up to 22 months, low quality evidence (downgraded for risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness and imprecision) from 6 studies encompassing 8 case series showed that 75 of 129 (58%) of infants ≥36 weeks EGA with an Apgar score of zero at 10 minutes of life died before 22 months of age (Casalaz 1998, Harrington 2007, Kasdorf 2014, Laptook 2009, Patel 2004, Sarkar 2013).•For the critical outcome of death up to 22 months, 3 studies performed after 2009 that included nested observational series of cases from 3 RCTs of therapeutic hypothermia and a series of infants who received therapeutic hypothermia outside a randomized trial (moderate quality of evidence, downgraded for risk of bias) found that 46 of 90 (51%) of infants with an Apgar score of zero at 10 minutes died before 22 months of age (Kasdorf 2014, Laptook 2009, Sarkar 2013).
Dallas 2015Proposed Consensus on Science statementsIn infants ≥ 36 weeks gestational age who have an Apgar score of zero
after 10 minutes of effective resuscitation, what are the outcomes?
•For the critical outcome of death or moderate/severe neurodevelopmental impairment at ≥ 22 months of age, 6 studies (low quality evidence; downgraded for risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness and imprecision) showed that this outcome occurred in 106 of 129 (85%) infants ≥ 36 weeks with an Apgar score of zero at 10 minutes of life (Casalaz 1998, Harrington 2007, Kasdorf 2014, Laptook 2009, Patel 2004, Sarkar 2013).
•For the critical outcome of death up to ≥22 months or moderate/ severe neurodevelopmental impairment, 3 studies performed after 2009 (moderate quality of evidence, downgraded for risk of bias) that included nested observational series in RCTs of therapeutic hypothermia and series of infants that received therapeutic hypothermia showed that this adverse outcome occurred in 68 of 90 (76%) infants with an Apgar score of zero at 10 minutes. Among the 44 survivors of these studies 22 (50%) survived without major or moderate disabilities. Among the 56 cooled infants in these studies, 15 (27%) survived without major or moderate disabilities (Kasdorf 2014, Laptook 2009, Sarkar 2013).•No studies differentiated between severe and moderate disability.

Dallas 2015Knowledge Gaps
The major flaws in the available scientific evidence regarding outcome of term neonates with asystole after 10 minutes of adequate resuscitation is the absence of data regarding:
Number of infants born in the study centers or the transferring centers with asystole at 10 minutes who were not actively resuscitated
Number of infants born in the study or the transferring centers with asystole at 10 minutes in whom ongoing DR resuscitation was attempted and was unsuccessful
The quality and extent of resuscitation provided.
A prospective international registry of infants with asystole/bradycardia after 10 minutes of adequate resuscitation that includes collection of relevant data with all needed information is needed to provide high-quality evidence to answer this prognostic question.
