Abstract
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in pediatrics is a significant cause for morbidity and mortality in children. Congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathy are the leading etiologies of ADHF. It is common for these children to undergo diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedure under anesthesia, which may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The importance of preanesthetic multidisciplinary planning with all involved teams, including anesthesia, cardiology, intensive care, perfusion, and cardiac surgery, cannot be emphasized enough. In order to safely manage these patients, it is imperative for the anesthesiologist to understand the complex pathophysiological interactions between cardiopulmonary systems and anesthesia during these procedures. This review discusses the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and perioperative management of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD) are now commonly surviving well into adulthood. We describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes for a cohort of adult patients with moderate and great complexity CHD undergoing general surgery procedures. METHODS The electronic records of two tertiary centers were queried to identify adult patients with moderate and great complexity CHD who underwent a general surgery procedure between 2007 and 2017. RESULTS 118 adult patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 36 ± 17 years and 49.2% were male. The most common cardiac diagnoses were pulmonary valve anomaly (24.6%), tetralogy of Fallot (18.6%), coarctation of the aorta (15.3%) and common/single ventricle (10.2%). The most common general surgery procedures performed were cholecystectomy (23.7%), herniorrhaphy (23.7%) and colorectal resection (9.3%). In-hospital mortality and morbidity were 2.5% and 11.9%, respectively. CONCLUSION Adults survivors of moderate and great complexity CHD undergoing common general surgery procedures in this study experienced excellent in-hospital outcomes.

Incidence, characteristics and risk factors for perioperative cardiac arrest and 30-day-mortality in preterm infants requiring non-cardiac surgery. J Clin Anesth 2021; 73:110366. [PMID: 34087660 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2021.110366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine 30-day-mortality, incidence and characteristics of perioperative cardiac arrest as well as the respective independent risk factors in preterm infants undergoing non-cardiac surgery. DESIGN Retrospective observational Follow-up-study. SETTING Bielefeld University Hospital, a German tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS Population of 229 preterm infants (age < 37th gestational week at the time of surgery) who underwent non-cardiac surgery between 01/2008-12/2018. MEASUREMENTS Primary endpoint was overall 30-day-mortality. Secondary endpoints were the incidence of perioperative cardiac arrest and identification of independent risk factors. We performed univariate and multivariate analyses and calculated odds ratios (OR) for risk factors associated with these endpoints. MAIN RESULTS 30-day-mortality was 10.9% and perioperative mortality 0.9%. Univariate risk factors for 30-day-mortality were perioperative cardiac arrest (OR,12.5;95%CI,3.1 to 50.3), comorbidities of lungs (OR,3.7;95%CI,1.2 to 11.3) and gastrointestinal tract (OR,3.5;95%CI,1.3 to 9.6); sepsis (OR,3.6;95%CI,1.4 to 9.5); surgery between 22:01-7:00 (OR,7.3;95%CI,2.4 to 21.7); emergency (OR,4.5;95%CI,1.6 to 12.4); pre-existing catecholamine therapy (OR,5.0;95%CI,2.1 to 11.9). Multivariate logistic regression indicated that perioperative cardiac arrest (OR,13.9;95%CI,2.7 to 71.3), low body weight (weight < 1000 g: OR,26.0;95%CI,3.2 to 212; 1000-1499 g: OR,10.3; 95%CI,1.1 to 94.9 compared to weight > 2000 g), and time of surgery (OR,5.9;95%CI,1.6 to 21.3) for 22:01-7:00 compared to 7:01-15:00) were the major independent risk factors of mortality. Incidence of perioperative cardiac arrests was 3.9% (9 of 229;95%CI,1.8 to 7.3). Univariate risk factors were congenital anomalies of the airways (OR,4.7;95%CI,1.2 to 20.3), lungs (OR,4.7;95%CI,1.2 to 20.3) and heart (OR,8.0;95%CI,2 to 32.2), pre-existing catecholamine therapy (OR,59.5;95%CI,3.4 to 1039), specifically, continuous infusions of epinephrine (OR,432;95%CI,43.2 to 4318). CONCLUSIONS 30-day-mortality and the incidence of perioperative cardiac arrest of preterms undergoing non-cardiac surgery were higher than previously reported. The identified independent risk factors may improve interdisciplinary perioperative risk assessment, optimal preoperative stabilization and scheduling of optimal surgical timing.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequently occurring congenital disorder and affects approximately 1% of live births.1,2 Advancements in supportive technology and surgical techniques have allowed many of these children to live into adulthood with reductions in morbidity and mortality.3,4 During infancy, many children with CHD are plagued with co-existing structural anomalies and/or feeding disorders that make adequate oral intake impossible.5 Pediatric surgeons are frequently consulted for enteral access and/or fundoplication to ensure proper growth and development while preventing potential hemodynamic instability caused by significant reflux events. The successful execution of a non-cardiac surgery in a child with significant cardiac risk factors requires the coordination and expertise of multiple providers with a deep understanding of pediatric CHD physiology to ensure a safe outcome. We review critical pre-operative workup, technical operative aspects, and anesthesia considerations in this unique patient population.

Abstract
Fundamento Qualidade de imagem e dose de radiação são otimizadas com uma frequência cardíaca (FC) lenta e estável na realização de imagens de artérias coronárias durante a angiografia cardíaca por tomografia computadorizada (CCTA, do inglês
cardiac computed tomography angiography
) A segurança, a eficácia e o protocolo para a redução da FC com medicamento betabloqueador ainda não foi bem descrita em uma população de pacientes pediátricos. Objetivo Oferecer um protocolo de dose de metoprolol eficiente a ser usado em pacientes pediátricos externos durante a CCTA. Métodos Realizamos uma revisão retrospectiva de todos os pacientes pediátricos externos que receberam o metoprolol durante a CCTA. As características demográficas e clínicas foram resumidas e a redução média em FC foi estimada utilizando-se um modelo de regressão linear multivariada. As imagens foram avaliadas em uma escala de 1 a 4 (1= ideal). Resultados Um total de 78 pacientes externos passaram a uma CCTA com o uso de metoprolol. A média de idade foi de 13 anos, a média de peso foi de 46 kg, e 36 pacientes (46%) eram do sexo masculino. As doses médias de metoprolol foram 1,5 (IQR 1,1; 1,8) mg/kg, e 0,4 (IQR 0,2; 0,7) mg/kg para administrações orais e intravenosas, respectivamente. O produto dose-comprimento por exame foi de 57 (IQR 30, 119) mGy*cm. A redução média da FC foi 19 (IQR 12, 26) batimentos por minuto, ou 23%. Não foram relatadas complicações ou eventos adversos. Conclusão O uso de metoprolol num cenário de pacientes pediátricos externos para redução da FC antes de uma CCTA é seguro e eficiente. Pode-se reproduzir um protocolo de dose de metoprolol quando for necessário atingir uma FC mais lenta, garantindo tempos de aquisição mais rápidos, imagens mais claras e redução na exposição à radiação nessa população.

Abstract
Objectives The goal of this study was to summarize anesthesia management for pediatrics with congenital heart diseases who undergo cardiac catheterization procedure in China. Methods The relevant articles were identified through computerized searches in the CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and PubMed databases through May 2020, using different combinations of keywords: “congenital heart diseases,” “pediatric,” “children,” “anesthesia,” “cardiac catheterization,” “interventional therapy,” “interventional treatment,” “interventional examination,” and “computed tomography.” Results The database searches identified 48 potentially qualified articles, of which 25 (9,738 patients in total) were determined to be eligible and included. The authors collect data from the article information. Anesthesia methods included endotracheal intubation or laryngeal mask ventilation general anesthesia, monitored anesthesia care, and combined with sacral canal block. Anesthesia-related complications occurred in 7.41% of the patients and included dysphoria, respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting, cough, increased respiratory secretion, and airway obstruction. The incidence of procedure-related complications was 12.14%, of which the most common were arrhythmia and hypotension. Conclusions For pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases who undergo cardiac catheterization procedures in China, arrhythmia and hypotension are the most common procedure-related complications. Monitored anesthesia care is the commonly used anesthesia methods, and dysphoria, cough, nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression are frequent complications associated with anesthesia.

Abstract
With advances in the development of surgical and medical treatments for congenital heart disease (CHD), the population of children and adults with CHD is growing. This population requires multiple surgical and diagnostic imaging procedures. Therefore, general anesthesia is inevitable. In many studies, it has been reported that children with CHD have increased anesthesia risks when undergoing noncardiac surgeries compared to children without CHD. The highest risk group included patients with functional single ventricle, suprasystemic pulmonary hypertension, left ventricular outflow obstruction, and cardiomyopathy. In this review, we provide an overview of perioperative risks in children with CHD undergoing noncardiac surgeries and anesthetic considerations in patients classified as having the highest risk.

Abstract
Advances made in pediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery and critical care have significantly improved the survival rate of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) leading to an increase in children with CHD presenting for noncardiac surgical procedures. This study aims (1) to describe the trend and perioperative mortality rates in patients with CHD undergoing noncardiac surgical procedures at children's hospitals over the past 5 years and (2) to describe the patient characteristics and the most common type of surgical procedures. The Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) is an administrative database that contains inpatient, observation, and outpatient surgical data from 52 freestanding children's hospitals. Thirty-nine of the 52 hospitals submitted data on all types of patient encounters for the duration of the study from 2015 to 2019. The total numbers of non-cardiac surgical encounters among patients with history of a CHD diagnosis significantly increased each year from 38,272 in 2015 to 45,993 in 2019 (P < 0.001). Despite the increase in case numbers, there has been a significant decline in mortality rates to the most recent incidence of 1.06% in 2019. Careful patient selection and medical optimization of patients aligned with specific expertise at dedicated children's hospitals may lead to improvement in mortality rate. Future studies comparing the outcomes of patients with cardiac disease based on hospital type and volume as well as type of providers may help determine the future of care including potential need for regionalization of noncardiac care for this vulnerable patient population.

Abstract
Background: Sugammadex is a selective reversal agent which has the ability to reverse deep neuromuscular blockade. However, there are still controversial results as regard sugammadex effects on the quality of recovery. We hypothesized that Sugammadex may have better recovery profile compared to neostigmine in pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases undergoing cardiac catheterization. Patients and Methods: This prospective randomized double-blind study included 50 pediatric patients aged <2 years who were divided into two groups according to the reversal agent used; Group S (Sugammadex) and Group N (Neostigmine). Both groups received the same anesthetic technique during cardiac catheterization, and basic hemodynamic monitoring was ensured in both groups. After the procedure, reversal was done using 4 mg.kg‒1 sugammadex or 0.04 mg. kg‒1 neostigmine plus 0.02 mg. kg‒1 atropine according to the group allocation. Recovery time and side effects were recorded. Results: The two groups showed comparable findings regarding demographics. Nonetheless, the total time of anesthesia had mean values of 91.06 and 101.25 min in the two groups, respectively (P = 0.003), while recovery time had mean values of 1.61 and 9.23 min in the same groups, respectively (P < 0.001). Hemodynamic profile (heart rate and mean arterial pressure) was better after reversal with sugammadex. Blood sugar levels and side effects showed no significant difference between both groups. Conclusion: Sugammadex can be a more rapid and effective alternative to neostigmine for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization.

Abstract
PURPOSE Management of infants with OEIS complex is challenging and not standardized. Expeditious surgery after birth has been recommended to limit soilage of the urinary tract and optimize intestinal function. However, clinical instability secondary to comorbidities is common in this population and early operation carries risk. We sought to define the risk/benefit profile of delaying repair. METHODS All newborn patients with OEIS managed by our institution between Sep 2017 and Oct 2019 were reviewed. Comorbidities were evaluated, including cardiopulmonary pathologies and associated malformations. RESULTS Ten patients with OEIS were managed. Patients underwent early (2 patients, repair at 0-2 days) or delayed (6 patients, repair at 6-87 days) first-stage exstrophy repair. Two patients died prior to repair (progressive respiratory failure, severe genetic anomalies). Repairs were delayed secondary to cardiac conditions, neurosurgical interventions, medical disease, and/or delayed transfer. Delayed repair patients had longer lengths of stay and use of parenteral nutrition. No patients experienced urinary tract infections prior to repair. CONCLUSIONS Delaying first-stage exstrophy repair to allow physiologic optimization is safe. All repaired patients were discharged home, without parenteral nutrition or supplemental oxygen.

Impact of Cardiac Risk Factors in the Postsurgical Outcomes of Patients With Cleft Lip: An Analysis of 2126 Patients. J Craniofac Surg 2020; 32:944-946.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Congenital cardiac comorbidities represent a potentially elevated risk for complications in patients undergoing cleft lip repair. National databases, such as the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric (NSQIP-P) allow for analysis of large national datasets to assess these risks and potential complications. The aim of this study is to assess the risk of complications in patients undergoing cleft lip repair with congenital cardiac co-morbidities using the NSQIP-P.The 2012 to 2014 NSQIP-P databases were queried for patients undergoing cleft lip repair. Data abstracted for analysis included demographic, clinical, and outcomes data. Patients with cleft lip were stratified based on the presence or absence of congenital cardiac comorbidities. Univariate analysis and step-wise, forward logistic regression were performed to compare these groups.Nationally, between 2012 and 2014, 2126 patients underwent cleft lip repair, 227 with cardiac disease, and 1899 without cardiac disease. Weights were similar between the groups at the time of surgery, though patients with cardiac comorbidities were older. Postoperatively, cardiac disease patients were more likely to experience an adverse event. Specifically, they were more likely to experience reintubation, reoperation, longer length of stay, and death. Rates of surgical site infection and dehiscence were not different between the groups.This study demonstrates that cleft lip repair in patients with congenital heart defects is safe. However, patients undergoing cleft lip repair with comorbid congenital cardiac disease were more likely to experience adverse events. Cardiac patients require special preoperative evaluation before repair of their cleft lip, but do not appear to experience worse wound-related outcomes.

Abstract
Background Congenital heart disease (CHD), a structural and functional heart disease, is the commonest birth defect with an incidence of one in 125 live births worldwide with ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD) and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) constituting the majority. Surgery for associated extra-cardiac anomalies (airway, skeletal, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal) may be required in 30% of these patients. Delivery of uneventful anaesthesia in these children requires an understanding of not only paediatric anaesthesia but also of the pathophysiology of the cardiac lesion and its associated risks. Aims The purpose of this retrospective review was to highlight the approach to the anaesthetic management and outcomes of patients with significant cardiac lesions presenting for non-cardiac surgeries. Material and methods A retrospective chart review of all children with congenital heart disease (CHD) (repaired or unrepaired) who were posted for a non-cardiac surgery in this tertiary care Paediatric super-specialty hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 was carried out. Data on demographics, peri-operative management, and clinical course was retrieved. Inclusion criteria were paediatric patients (0-18 years) of either gender with a diagnosis of a CHD (repaired or unrepaired) undergoing any non-cardiac surgeries (NCS) under anaesthesia/Monitored Anaesthesia Care (MAC). Exclusion criteria were procedures only under local anaesthesia (LA) or a minor procedure done solely under sedation not involving an anaesthesiologist. Results During the study period, we found five eligible cases who underwent a total of six procedures. Five procedures were elective and one was an emergency. Preoperative optimization was conducted by a multidisciplinary team including paediatric surgeons, anaesthesiologists, physicians, and cardio-thoracic surgeons. Anaesthesia was conducted by at least a consultant paediatric anaesthesiologist. Overall all patients tolerated anaesthesia well without any adverse events or complications. All six anaesthetic encounters were safe and uneventful.

Abstract
Since the introduction of cardiac catheterisation for Paediatric Cardiology in 1947, the subspecialty has seen dramatic changes. The advancement of non-invasive imaging techniques such as echocardiography, CT and cardiac MRI has shifted the focus for paediatric cardiac catheterisations from a primarily diagnostic tool (to define anatomy, assess haemodynamics and calculate shunts) to an important treatment option for various congenital heart defects.

Motion-corrected cardiac MRI is associated with decreased anesthesia exposure in children. Pediatr Radiol 2020; 50:1709-1716. [PMID: 32696111 PMCID: PMC8351617 DOI: 10.1007/s00247-020-04766-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2020] [Revised: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 07/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefits of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the pediatric population must be balanced with the risk and cost of anesthesia. Segmented imaging using multiple averages attempts to avoid breath-holds requiring general anesthesia; however, cardiorespiratory artifacts and prolonged scan times limit its use. Thus, breath-held imaging with general anesthesia is used in many pediatric centers. The advent of free-breathing, motion-corrected (MOCO) cines by real-time re-binned reconstruction offers reduced anesthesia exposure without compromising image quality. OBJECTIVE This study evaluates sedation utilization in our pediatric cardiac MR practice before and after clinical introduction of free-breathing MOCO imaging for cine and late gadolinium enhancement. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, patients referred for a clinical cardiac MR who would typically be offered sedation for their scan (n=295) were identified and divided into two eras, those scanned before the introduction of MOCO cine and late gadolinium enhancement sequences and those scanned following their introduction. Anesthesia use was compared across eras and disease-specific cohorts. RESULTS The incidence of non-sedation studies performed in children nearly tripled following the introduction of MOCO imaging (25% [pre-MOCO] to 69% [post-MOCO], P<0.01), with the greatest effect in patients with simple congenital heart disease. Eleven percent of the post-MOCO cohort comprised infants younger than 3 months of age who could forgo sedation with the combination of MOCO imaging and a "feed-and-bundle" positioning technique. CONCLUSION Implementation of cardiac MR with MOCO cine and late gadolinium enhancement imaging in a pediatric population is associated with significantly decreased sedation utilization.

Abstract
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) collaborated with the American Heart Association, American Society of Echocardiography, Heart Rhythm Society, International Society for Adult Congenital Heart Disease, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, and the Society of Pediatric Echocardiography to develop Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for multimodality imaging during the follow-up care of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). This is the first AUC to address cardiac imaging in adult and pediatric patients with established CHD. A number of common patient scenarios (also termed "indications") and associated assumptions and definitions were developed using guidelines, clinical trial data, and expert opinion in the field of CHD.1 The indications relate primarily to evaluation before and after cardiac surgery or catheter-based intervention, and they address routine surveillance as well as evaluation of new-onset signs or symptoms. The writing group developed 324 clinical indications, which they separated into 19 tables according to the type of cardiac lesion. Noninvasive cardiac imaging modalities that could potentially be used for these indications were incorporated into the tables, resulting in a total of 1,035 unique scenarios. These scenarios were presented to a separate, independent panel for rating, with each being scored on a scale of 1 to 9, with 1 to 3 categorized as "Rarely Appropriate," 4 to 6 as "May Be Appropriate," and 7 to 9 as "Appropriate." Forty-four percent of the scenarios were rated as Appropriate, 39% as May Be Appropriate, and 17% as Rarely Appropriate. This AUC document will provide guidance to clinicians in the care of patients with established CHD by identifying the reasonable imaging modality options available for evaluation and surveillance of such patients. It will also serve as an educational and quality improvement tool to identify patterns of care and reduce the number of Rarely Appropriate tests in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Paediatric anaesthesia requires specific theoretical knowledge and practical training. Non-technical skills and psychological factors might influence learning and practice. The aim of this study was to assess personality type and decision-making styles of paediatric anaesthesiology residents during the management of simulated intraoperative life-threatening cases. METHOD Residents in anaesthesiology (between 4 and 5 years of training) participated in a simulated hypoxic cardiac arrest in the operating theatre. Their performance was evaluated using a score derived from international recommended management algorithm. They were asked to answer self-assessment questionnaires regarding both their personality (the five personality factors) and their decision-making style. Correlations between performance and personality were investigated. RESULTS Thirty-eight residents participated in the simulation session and 36 accepted to answer the questionnaires. Good management scoring was positively correlated with agreeableness and conscientiousness personality traits but was negatively correlated with avoidance and spontaneous decision-making styles. DISCUSSION The current study identified personality traits and decision-making styles that might influence the management of critical situations during paediatric anaesthesia. The proper identification of these factors might allow targeted personalised training to improve knowledge mobilisation and translation in the clinical context.

Abstract
Background This study aims to evaluate the frequency of and associated risk factors for adverse events caused by cardiac catheterization procedures in pediatric patients. Methods Between January 2009 and January 2012, a total of 599 pediatric patients (320 males, 279 females; mean age 5.4±4.7 years; range, 1 day to 21 years) who underwent cardiac catheterization in our cardiac catheterization laboratory were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and clinical data of the patients including the duration of the procedure, management of anesthesia, the American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and Catheterization Risk Score for Pediatrics, and procedure-related serious adverse events were recorded. Results The incidence of procedure-related serious adverse events was 9.18%. Potential risk factors associated with serious adverse events were identified as interventional heart catheterization, high scores obtained from the Catheterization Risk Score for Pediatrics, the use of endotracheal tube in airway control, and prolonged procedural duration. Conclusion Our study results suggest that prolonged duration of catheterization is a potential risk factor for procedure-related adverse events and the duration of the procedure needs to be included as a variable in the Catheterization Risk Score for Pediatrics scoring system for predicting procedure-related adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonates and infants with congenital heart disease undergoing general anesthesia have an increased risk for critical cardiovascular events. Etomidate produces very minimal changes in hemodynamic parameters in older children with congenital heart disease. There is a lack of studies evaluating the effect of etomidate on systemic and regional cerebral perfusion in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease. AIM The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the effect of etomidate on systemic and regional cerebral perfusion in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease. METHODS In fifty infants aged 0-11 months (24% neonates n = 12) with congenital heart disease, mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac index using electrical cardiometry, and regional cerebral oxygen saturation using near-infrared spectroscopy were measured at baseline and 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes after induction by 0.4 mg kg-1 etomidate. Hypotension was defined as a mean arterial blood pressure under 35 mm Hg and cerebral desaturation as a regional cerebral oxygen saturation of less than 80% of baseline. RESULTS Mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac index, and regional cerebral oxygen saturation remained stable above the predefined limits. Mean arterial blood pressure decreased slightly within a physiological range after 3 minutes (P = .005, 95% CI:-5.9 to -1.0). No significant change in cardiac index could be observed. CONCLUSION Etomidate 0.4mg kg-1 does not impair systemic or regional cerebral perfusion in neonates or infants with congenital heart disease.

Abstract
Children and adults with congenital heart disease undergoing noncardiac surgery are at higher risk of perioperative adverse events. Patients have significant comorbidities and syndromic associations that increase perioperative risk further. The complexity of congenital heart disease requires a thorough understanding of lesion-specific pathophysiology in order to provide safe care. Comprehensive multidisciplinary planning and the use of skilled and experienced teams achieve the best outcomes. The anesthesiologist is a perioperative physician charged with providing safe anesthesia care, instituting appropriate hemodynamic monitoring, and determining appropriate postoperative disposition on an individual basis.

Abstract
The focus of this article is noncardiac surgery in the adult with congenital heart disease (CHD). The purpose is to provide the general and pediatric anesthesiologist with a basic overview of the most common congenital cardiac lesions, their long-term sequelae, and expected perioperative concerns during noncardiac surgery. Because of the very heterogeneous nature of CHD, it is difficult to make a single article a comprehensive guide for every lesion and its associated perioperative concerns. The authors hope to provide those who are not specifically trained in congenital cardiac anesthesia the basic principles and a greater understanding of each defect.

Abstract
Anesthesiology teams care for children in diverse locations, including diagnostic and interventional radiology, gastroenterology and pulmonary endoscopy suites, radiation oncology units, and cardiac catheterization laboratories. To provide safe, high-quality care, anesthesiologists working in these environments must understand the unique environmental and perioperative considerations and risks involved with each remote location and patient population. Once these variables are addressed, anesthesia and procedural teams can coordinate to ensure that patients and families receive the same high-quality care that they have come to expect in the operating room. This article also describes some of the considerations for anesthetic care in outfield locations.

Abstract
Background
Brain abscess is a rare neurological complication in patients with congenital cyanotic heart disease (CCHD). Perioperative complications are high in patients with CCHD. We evaluated incidence of and risk factors for perioperative complications and their impact on clinical outcomes in patients with CCHD undergoing brain abscess surgery with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) or general anesthesia (GA).
Methods
In this single-center retrospective cohort study, data were collected from consecutive patients with CCHD who presented with brain abscess and underwent surgery from January 2006 to December 2018. Data regarding demographics, type of CCHD, signs and symptoms of brain abscess and CCHD, type and duration of surgery, details of anesthesia, perioperative complications, and clinical outcomes were collected. Chi-square test was used to analyze nonparametric data and student
t
-test for parametric data.
Results
Of the 402 patients with brain abscess, data of 34 patients with CCHD who underwent brain abscess surgery were analyzed. The mean age at presentation of brain abscess was 15.8 ± 10.8 years and duration of symptoms was 17.3 ± 15.5 days. The incidence of perioperative complications was 82.4% (28/34 patients). Seven patients (20.6%) developed perioperative cyanotic spells which led to cardiac arrest in 5 patients (14.7%) and death in 2 patients (5.9%). Patients on cardiac medications and with high heart rate had higher incidence of cyanotic spells and mortality. Technique of anesthesia did not affect cardiac and neurological outcome.
Conclusions
Perioperative complications are high after brain abscess surgery in patients with CCHD. Perioperative characteristics and outcomes were similar with MAC and GA techniques.

Abstract
Clinical outcomes are measurable changes in health, function, or quality of life that are important for evaluating the quality of care and comparing the efficacy of interventions. However, clinical outcomes and related measurement tools need to be well-defined, relevant, and valid. In adults, Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) methodology has been used to develop core outcome sets for perioperative care. Systematic literature reviews identified standardized endpoints (StEP) and valid measurement tools, and consensus across a broader range of relevant stakeholders was achieved via a Delphi process to establish Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (COMPAC). Core outcome sets for pediatric perioperative care cannot be directly extrapolated from adult data. The type and weighting of endpoints within particular domains can be influenced by age-dependent differences in the indications for and/or nature of surgery and medical comorbidities, and the validity and utility of many measurement tools vary significantly with developmental stage and age. The involvement of parents/carers is essential as they frequently act as surrogate responders for preverbal and developmentally delayed children, parental response may influence child outcome, and parental and/or child ranking of outcomes may differ from those of health professionals. Here, we describe the formation of the international Pediatric Perioperative Outcomes Group, which aims to identify and create validated, broadly applicable, patient-centered outcome measures for infants, children, and young people. Methodologies parallel that of the StEP and COMPAC projects, and systematic literature searches have been performed within agreed age-dependent subpopulations to identify reported outcomes and measurement tools. This represents the first steps for developing core outcome sets for pediatric perioperative care.

Abstract
Perioperative risk of morbidity and mortality for neonates is significantly higher than that for older children and adults. At particular risk are neonates born prematurely, neonates with major or severe congenital heart disease, and neonates with pulmonary hypertension. Presently no consensus exists regarding the safest anesthetic regimen for neonates. Regional anesthesia appears to be safe, but does not reduce the overall risk of postoperative apnea. Former preterm infants require postoperative observation for apnea. The anesthesiologist caring for the neonate for major surgery should be knowledgeable of the unique physiology of the neonate and maintain the highest level of vigilance throughout.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Anesthesia for cardiac surgery has traditionally utilized high-dose opioids to blunt the sympathetic response to surgery. However, recent data suggest that opioids prolong postoperative intubation, leading to increased morbidity. Given the increased risk of opioid dependency after in-hospital exposure to opioids, coupled with an increase in morbidity, regional techniques offer an adjunct for perioperative analgesia. The aim of this review is to describe conventional and emerging regional techniques for cardiac surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Well-studied techniques such as thoracic epidurals and paravertebral blocks are relatively low risk despite lack of widespread adoption. Benefits include reduced opioid exposure after paravertebral blocks and reduced risk of perioperative myocardial infarction after epidurals. To further lower the risk of epidural hematoma and pneumothorax, new regional techniques have been studied, including parasternal, pectoral, and erector spinae plane blocks. Because these are superficial compared with paravertebral and epidural blocks, they may have even lower risks of hematoma formation, whereas patients are anticoagulated on cardiopulmonary bypass. Efficacy data have been promising, although large and generalizable studies are lacking. SUMMARY New regional techniques for cardiac surgery may be potent perioperative analgesic adjuncts, but well-designed studies are needed to quantify the effectiveness and safety of these blocks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hospitalized children with underlying heart disease are at high risk for cardiac arrest, particularly when they undergo invasive catheterization procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Outcomes for children experiencing cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory remain under-reported with few studies reporting survival beyond the catheterization laboratory. We aim to describe survival outcomes after cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory while identifying risk factors associated with hospital mortality after these events. DESIGN Retrospective observational study of data from a multicenter cardiac arrest registry from November 2005 to November 2016. Cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory was defined as the need for chest compressions greater than or equal to 1 minute in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Primary outcome was survival to discharge. Variables analyzed using generalized estimating equations for association with survival included age, illness category (surgical cardiac, medical cardiac), preexisting conditions, pharmacologic interventions, and event duration. SETTING American Heart Association's Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation registry of in-hospital cardiac arrest. PATIENTS Consecutive patients less than 18 years old experiencing an index (i.e., first) cardiac arrest event reported to the Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 203 patients met definition of index cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory composed primarily of surgical and medical cardiac patients (54% and 41%, respectively). Children less than 1 year old comprised the majority of patients, 58% (117/203). Overall survival to hospital discharge was 69% (141/203). No differences in survival were observed between surgical and medical cardiac patients (p = 0.15). The majority of deaths (69%, 43/62) occurred in patients less than 1 year old. Bradycardia (with pulse) followed by pulseless electrical activity/asystole were the most common first documented rhythms observed (50% and 27%, respectively). Preexisting metabolic/electrolyte abnormalities (p = 0.02), need for vasoactive infusions (p = 0.03) prior to arrest, and use of calcium products (p = 0.005) were found to be significantly associated with lower rates of survival to discharge on multivariable regression. CONCLUSIONS The majority of children experiencing cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory in this large multicenter registry analysis survived to hospital discharge, with no observable difference in outcomes between surgical and medical cardiac patients. Future investigations that focus on stratifying medical complexity in addition to procedural characteristics at the time of catheterization are needed to better identify risks for mortality after cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Abstract
Purpose To determine the safety and feasibility of stress cardiac MRI by using weight-based dosing of regadenoson in patients less than 40 kg and whether stress cardiac MRI affects patient management. Materials and Methods All patients less than 40 kg undergoing stress cardiac MRI by using weight-based dosing (8 μg/kg) of regadenoson were included in this retrospective single-center study. Hemodynamic response, adverse events, and cardiac MRI abnormalities in myocardial perfusion, wall motion, and delayed enhancement were evaluated. Patient management based on the results of the stress cardiac MRI were evaluated. Results Forty-six consecutive stress cardiac MRI examinations were performed in 36 patients (median age, 9.0 years; age range, 2 months to 13.9 years) with congenital and acquired heart disease. Thirty-one of 46 (67.4%) studies were performed with the use of sedation. A myocardial perfusion defect was present in 20 of 46 (43.5%) studies, five with inducible defects only, and the remaining 15 with fixed or irreversible defects. In the 46 total studies, there were no major adverse events and nine (19.6%) minor adverse events including emesis (n = 1) and transient hypotension requiring pharmacologic intervention in eight patients who were all sedated. Sedation was an independent predictor for hypotension (P =.040). Twenty-six negative studies had no coronary interventions performed, and of the 20 positive studies, 15 were referred for catheterization, eight of which underwent coronary interventions. Conclusion Weight-based dosing of regadenoson for stress cardiac MRI was safe and feasible in infants and young children and played an integral role in the outcome and treatment decisions for children with coronary artery disease.© RSNA, 2019.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether performing mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) during the neonatal period increased inpatient complications as measured through health-care burden. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of the Kids’ Inpatient Database from 2000 to 2011. Infants receiving MDO prior to 12 months of age were included. The primary study predictor was distraction age, classified as either neonatal or non-neonatal. Secondary predictors were patient demographics, hospitalization characteristics, diagnoses, and procedures. The outcomes were the number of procedures performed, postoperative length of stay (pLOS), hospital charges, and the discharge transfer rate. Outcomes were compared between the primary predictors using χ2 and independent 2-sample t tests. Multiple linear and logistic regression models were created using clinically relevant predictors to assess the independent effect of neonatal age on each outcome. Results: The study sample contained 102 patients, of who 50 (49.0%) were distracted in the neonatal period. Neonatal MDO patients were more likely to have a cleft palate (86.0% vs 55.8%; P < .001) and present with feeding difficulties (38.0% vs 19.2%; P = .036) that were treated through total parenteral nutrition (26.0% vs 9.6%; P = .030) but otherwise did not have significantly different characteristics compared to non-neonatal patients. The multiple regression models confirmed that neonatal age did not influence any of the study outcomes, although other secondary predictors were found to influence the pLOS, hospital charges, and number of inpatient procedures. Conclusions: Neonatal MDO was not associated with increased complications. At experienced centers, neonatal status should not be considered a contraindication to treatment.

Abstract
The incidence of moderate to severe congenital heart disease (CHD) in the United States is estimated to be 6 per 1,000 live-born, full-term infants. Recent advances in pediatric cardiology, surgery, and critical care have improved significantly the survival rates of patients with CHD leading to an increase in prevalence in both children and adults. Children with CHD significant enough to require cardiac surgery frequently also undergo noncardiac surgical procedures. With this increased demand for procedures that require anesthesia, all anesthesiologists, and more specifically, pediatric anesthesiologists will encounter patients with repaired or unrepaired CHD and other cardiac diseases in their practice. They often are faced with the question, "Is this patient too high risk for anesthesia?" The objective of this literature review is to provide a greater understanding of patients at high risk and to quantify the risk for patients, their families, and clinicians. In addition, specific high-risk lesions (single ventricle, Williams-Beuren syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathies, and ventricular assist devices) are described.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common birth anomalies, and the care of children with CHD has improved over the past 4 decades. However, children with CHD who undergo general anesthesia remain at increased risk for morbidity and mortality. The proliferation of electronic health record systems and sophisticated patient monitors affords the opportunity to capture and analyze large amounts of CHD patient data, and the application of novel, effective analytics methods to these data can enable clinicians to enhance their care of pediatric CHD patients. This narrative review covers recent efforts to leverage analytics in pediatric cardiac anesthesia and critical care to improve the care of children with CHD.

Abstract
Overall, there are numerous causes of hypotension in the perioperative period. The approach to definitive treatment must be tailored to the child's unique anatomy and physiology, as well as the current factors presumed to be eliciting the hypotensive state. It is imperative to consider both routine and lesion-specific etiologies to the current hypotensive episode. Lastly, when employing pharmacologic therapy for hypotension, there are often multiple combinations of medications that can reasonably be used to achieve the desired hemodynamic effects.

Abstract
Database analysis has indicated that perioperative cardiac arrest occurs with increased frequency in children with congenital heart disease. Several case series and large datasets from ACS NSQIP have identified subgroups at the highest risk. Consistently, patients with single ventricle physiology (especially prior to cavopulmonary anastomosis), severe/supra-systemic pulmonary hypertension, complex lesions, and cardiomyopathy with significantly reduced ventricular function have been shown to be at increased risk for adverse events. Based on these results, algorithms for assessing risk have been proposed. How hospitals and health care systems apply these guidelines to provide safe care for these challenging patient groups requires the application of modern quality improvement techniques. Each institution should develop a system which reflects local expertise and resources.

Abstract
Recent advances in catheterization and imaging technology allow for more complex procedures to be performed in the catheterization laboratory. A number of lesions are now amenable to a percutaneous procedure, eliminating or at least postponing the need for a surgical intervention. Due to the increase in the complexity of the procedures performed, the involvement of anesthesiologists and their close collaboration with the interventional cardiologists have increased. It is important to understand the physiology and pathophysiology of the patients and to anticipate the plans and the potential complications in order to manage them. We are witnessing a rise in the number of complex interventions in newborns and infants, such as balloon valvotomy (critical aortic stenosis, pulmonary stenosis), radio frequency perforation (of pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum), right ventricular outflow tract stenting (in Tetralogy of Fallot), ductal stenting (in some ductus-dependent pulmonary circulation), and combined with a surgical procedure (hybrid procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome). Multiple registries have been created in order to understand and improve outcomes of patients with congenital heart disease undergoing catheterization procedures and to develop performance and quality metrics, from which data regarding anesthetic-related risks can be extrapolated. Experienced personnel and a multidisciplinary team approach with direct communication among the team members is a must to ensure anticipation and management of critical events when they occur.

Abstract
Postoperative pulmonary complications are a major determinant of outcome for patients and consume huge resources within hospital, particularly in critical care. Prediction and anticipation of postoperative pulmonary complications are vital for patient selection and, in some cases, for informed patient consent. Being able to assess the likelihood of postoperative pulmonary complications also allows research into methods to reduce them by allowing allocation of patients to the appropriate arms of research trials. Some patients have pre-operative characteristics or belong to patient groups such as those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or obstructive sleep apnoea, where techniques and evidence-based guidance to avoid or reduce complications are becoming established. Intra-operative ventilation and the use of lung-protective ventilation may be helpful during major surgery, but studies looking at reduced tidal volumes, recruitment and levels of positive end-expiratory pressure, have this far only led to a degree of consensus in terms of tidal volume, although parameters that predispose to postoperative pulmonary complications are becoming clearer. Optimal postoperative care in terms of analgesia, positioning, physiotherapy and mobilisation is another developing area. Techniques such as continuous positive airways pressure, non-invasive ventilation and high-flow nasal humidified oxygen appear to show some benefit, but the exact roles, pressures and timings of each are currently being explored. Much remains to be researched and developed into evidence-based practice.

Abstract
The article reviews frequently encountered preoperative concerns with a goal of minimizing complications during administration of pediatric anesthesia. It is written with general anesthesiologists in mind and provides a helpful overview of concerns for pediatric patient preparation for routine and nonemergent procedures or interventions. It covers unique topics for the pediatric population, including gestational age, respiratory and cardiovascular concerns, fasting guidelines, and management of preoperative anxiety, as well as the current hot topic of the potential neurotoxic effects of anesthetics on the developing brain.
