A total of 56 male Sprague-Dawley rats (retired breeder, body weight 450\u2013550 g) were investigated in the following two sets of experiments. Experiment I: Animals were subjected to 9 minutes of asphyxia: 1) ACA (9 minutes, <em xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">n<\/em> = 13); 2) ACA (9 minutes) + H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> post-treatment (<em xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">n<\/em> = 13); 3) ACA (9 minutes) + H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> pre- &amp; post-treatment (<em xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">n<\/em> = 12). Experiment II: To evaluate the effect of H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> treatment in more severe global brain hypoxia-ischemia, two additional groups of rats were studied using 11 minutes of asphyxia. Based on the findings of Experiment I we did not expect H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> post-treatment alone to provide benefit in the setting of more severe global brain hypoxia-ischemia. We did not therefore include the H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> post-treatment group in Experiment II. Two groups of rats (<em xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">n<\/em> = 9\/group) underwent 11 minutes of asphyxia to induce more severe global brain hypoxia-ischemia, followed by resuscitation: 1) ACA (11 minutes); 2) ACA (11 minutes) + H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> pre- &amp; post-treatment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O4-1-3\">Cardiac arrest was induced by asphyxia.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R18-1\">18<\/a><\/sup> Animals were anesthetized with pentobarbital (45 mg\/kg) and the trachea was orally intubated with a 14-gauge plastic catheter. After tracheal intubation, polyethylene catheters (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) were placed through the left femoral artery and vein into the abdominal aorta and the inferior vena cava, respectively. The arterial catheter was used to monitor arterial pressure and the venous catheter was used for administration of epinephrine or sodium bicarbonate during resuscitation. Lead II-ECG was continuously recorded. The animals were mechanically ventilated with room air at a tidal volume of 0.55 mL\/100 g and a frequency of 100 breaths per minute for 15 minutes. Asphyxia was induced by ventilator disconnection and tracheal tube obstruction after chemical neuromuscular blockade (vecuronium 2 mg\/kg IV). After 9 (Experiment I) or 11 (Experiment II) minutes of asphyxia, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed using precordial compression with a pneumatically driven mechanical chest compressor and mechanical ventilation with 100% oxygen at a ratio of 2:1. At the start of CPR, a bolus dose of epinephrine (7.5 \u03bcg\/kg) with sodium bicarbonate (1 mEq\/kg) was injected into the left femoral vein. Successful resuscitation was defined as return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) with the return of supraventricular rhythm and mean arterial pressure over 60 mmHg for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O4-1-4\">After resuscitation, mechanical ventilation was continued with 100% oxygen for 30 minutes and reduced to 50% for another 10 minutes and then gradually reduced 10% every 10 minutes to reach 21% oxygen for the last 10 minutes. Ventilation was stopped at 1 hour post-resuscitation and all catheters including the endotracheal tube were removed. Animals were closely observed by the investigator for an additional 2 hours. Body temperature was monitored by a rectal temperature sensor (Model BAT-12, Physitemp Instrument Inc., Clifton, NJ, USA). A heat lamp was used to maintain body temperature at 36.8 \u00b1 0.2\u00b0C from anesthesia induction, during surgery preparation and through cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation as well as during the first 3 hours post-resuscitation.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O4-1-5\">H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas was administered to the treatment groups according to protocol: pre- &amp; post-treatment group \u2013 starting at 1 hour prior to cardiac arrest for 1 hour and starting again at 1 hour post-resuscitation for 1 hour; post-treatment group \u2013 starting at 1 hour post-resuscitation for 2 hours. Sixty percent H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas was delivered through a hydrogen treatment chamber with the inlet connected to a hydrogen nebulizer (AMS-H-01, Asclepius Meditec Co.

The H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas concentration was monitored by a hydrogen detector during treatment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O4-1-6\">Electrocardiogram (EKG), end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub>) and arterial pressure were continuously recorded from 15 minutes before asphyxia induction until 1 hour after ROSC on a PC-based data-acquisition system supported by WINDAQ software (DATAQ, Akron, OH, USA).

The new findings were: 1) Both high concentration H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> post- and pre- &amp; post-treatment approaches had a similar tendency to reduce the incidence of seizures and improve neurological deficit scores within 3 days following resuscitation; 2) H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> pretreatment tended to increase the tolerance of rats to the subsequent more severe (11 minutes) global hypoxic-ischemia insult, which led to a higher percentage of resuscitation and 7 days survival compared to that of non-treated rats; 3) H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> pretreatment strategy did not significantly affect hemodynamic measurements during the first hour post-resuscitation in rats subjected to either mild or severe global hypoxic-ischemia.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O8-1-3\">Oxidative stress is a common final mechanism of injury contributing to brain damage following CA and ROSC. Excessive production of free oxygen radicals associated with ischemia and reperfusion injury causes cellular lipid and protein degradation. Treatment with mechanisms that reduce free radicals in the brain may be neuroprotective.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R20-1\">20<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R21-1\">21<\/a><\/sup> The therapeutic application of H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> as a selective antioxidant was intensively elucidated by Ohsawa et al.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R6-1\">6<\/a><\/sup> in a rat model of focal brain ischemia. Use of H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas as an antioxidant has the advantages of high biomembrane penetration and selective scavenging of the deleterious hydroxyl radical, potentially making H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas superior to traditional antioxidant supplements with strong reductive activity such as vitamin C or vitamin E. Two-hour administration of either 2% H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> in 98% O<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> or 1.3% H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> in 25% O<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub>\/air at the start of CPR improved neurological outcome in a rat model of ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R22-1\">22<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R23-1\">23<\/a><\/sup> Multiple doses of hydrogen-rich saline administered starting at 1 minute before CPR also improved survival and neurological outcomes after CA and CPR in rats.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R18-1\">18<\/a><\/sup> In the current study, we used water electrolysis-derived high concentration H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas produced by a hydrogen nebulizer. This portable machine that can produce up to 67% H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> at a clinically relevant flow without a combustion risk is ready for patient use and may provide a feasible and safe method for directly administrating H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas to patients in clinical practice.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O8-1-4\">Because most CA patients may not get advanced life support immediately, we applied the 2-hour 60% H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> treatment starting 1 hour after resuscitation. This approach tended to reduce the incidence of seizures and improve neurological deficit scores in the resuscitated rats. However, the time of H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> administration seems to play an important role in that early administration has been shown to be associated with more significant benefits in previous studies.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R18-1\">18<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R22-1\">22<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R23-1\">23<\/a><\/sup> In some patients, global brain ischemia may be induced by certain cardiac surgical procedures, in which pretreatment strategies may be clinically applicable. Exposure of rats to 60% H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> 1 hour prior to asphyxia in our study improved tolerance to the subsequent more severe global hypoxic ischemia insult (11 minutes asphyxia), leading to better success rates of return of spontaneous circulation compared to control. This pretreatment benefit appeared less evident if the hypoxic-ischemic injury severity was less (9 minutes asphyxia). In rats that were successfully resuscitated following 11 minutes ACA, the neuroprotective effects of H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> pre- &amp; post-treatment were comparable to that observed in the animals subjected to 9 minutes of asphyxia.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O8-1-5\">There were some limitations to our study. Only two doses of 60% H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas treatment (pre- &amp; post-treatment vs. post-treatment) were applied. Thus, we did not evaluate the best dose effect. Due to the high mortality in the severe model of asphyxia cardiac arrest (Experiment II), the sample size for evaluating post-resuscitation neurological outcomes was relatively small. Future study using larger numbers of animals is warranted to clarify the neuroprotective effect of 60% H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> in the setting of severe global brain ischemia.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O8-1-6\">In conclusion, water electrolysis derived-high concentration H<sub xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">2<\/sub> gas provided some degree of short-term neuroprotection in the setting of cardiogenic global brain ischemia. The optimal time for administration and alternative dosage regimens needs to be further investigated to maximize potential neurological benefits.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O8-1-7\"><strong
