Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintaining the adequacy of systemic oxygen delivery is of utmost importance, particularly in critically ill children. Renal oxygen extraction can be utilised as metric of the balance between systemic oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption. The primary aim of this study was to determine what clinical factors are associated with renal oxygen extraction in children after Norwood procedure. METHODS Mechanically ventilated children who underwent Norwood procedure from 1 September, 2022 to 1 March, 2023 were identified as these patients had data collected and stored with high fidelity by the T3 software. Data regarding haemodynamic values, fluid balance, and airway pressure were collected and analysed using Bayesian regression to determine the association of the individual metrics with renal oxygen extraction. RESULTS A total of 27,270 datapoints were included in the final analyses. The resulting top two models explained had nearly 80% probability of being true and explained over 90% of the variance in renal oxygen extraction. The coefficients for each variable retained in the best were -1.70 for milrinone, -19.05 for epinephrine, 0.129 for mean airway pressure, -0.063 for mean arterial pressure, 0.111 for central venous pressure, 0.093 for arterial saturation, 0.006 for heart rate, -0.025 for respiratory rate, 0.366 for systemic vascular resistance, and -0.032 for systemic blood flow. CONCLUSION Increased milrinone, epinephrine, mean arterial pressure, and systemic blood flow were associated with decreased (improved) renal oxygen extraction, while increased mean airway pressure, central venous pressure, arterial saturation, and systemic vascular resistance were associated with increased (worsened) renal oxygen extraction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Monitoring venous saturation allows identification of inadequate systemic oxygen delivery. The aim was to develop a model using non-invasive haemodynamic variables to estimate the inferior caval vein saturation and to determine its prognostic utility. METHODS This is a single-centre, retrospective study. A Bayesian Pearson's correlation was conducted to model the inferior caval vein saturation. Next, a Bayesian linear regression was conducted for data from all the patients and from only those with parallel circulation. Venous saturation estimations were developed. The correlation of these estimates to the actual inferior caval vein saturation was assessed. The resulting models were then applied to two validation cohorts: biventricular circulation (arterial switch operation) and parallel circulation (Norwood operation). RESULTS One hundred and thirteen datasets were collected across 15 patients. Of which, 65% had parallel circulation. In all patients, the measured and estimated inferior caval vein saturations had a moderate and significant correlation with a coefficient of 0.64. In patients with parallel circulation, the measured and estimated inferior caval vein saturation had a moderate and significant correlation with a coefficient of 0.61. In the biventricular circulation cohort, the estimated inferior caval vein saturation had an area under the curve of 0.71 with an optimal cut-off of 49. In the parallel circulation cohort, the estimated interior caval vein saturation had an area under the curve of 0.83 with an optimal cut-off of 24%. CONCLUSION The inferior caval vein saturation can be estimated utilising non-invasive haemodynamic data. This estimate has correlation with measured inferior caval vein saturations and offers prognostic utility.

Abstract
Cardiac output monitoring enables physiology-directed management of critically ill children and aids in the early detection of clinical deterioration. Multiple invasive techniques have been developed and have demonstrated ability to improve clinical outcomes. However, all require invasive arterial or venous catheters, with associated risks of infection, thrombosis and vascular injury. Non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output and fluid responsiveness in infants and children is an active area of interest and several proven techniques are available. Novel non-invasive cardiac output monitors offer a promising alternative to echocardiography and have proven their ability to influence clinical practice. Assessment of perfusion remains a challenge; however, technologies such as near-infrared spectroscopy and photoplethysmography may prove valuable clinical adjuncts in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the acute hemodynamic effect of vasopressin on the Fontan circulation, including systemic and pulmonary pressures and resistances, left atrial pressure, and cardiac index. DESIGN Prospective, open-label, nonrandomized study (NCT04463394). SETTING Cardiac catheterization laboratory at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford. PATIENTS Patients 3-50 years old with a Fontan circulation who were referred to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for hemodynamic assessment and/or intervention. INTERVENTIONS A 0.03 U/kg IV (maximum dose 1 unit) bolus of vasopressin was administered over 5 minutes, followed by a maintenance infusion of 0.3 mU/kg/min (maximum dose 0.03 U/min). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Comprehensive cardiac catheterization measurements before and after vasopressin administration. Measurements included pulmonary artery, atrial, and systemic arterial pressures, oxygen saturations, and systemic and pulmonary flows and resistances. There were 28 patients studied. Median age was 13.5 (9.1, 17) years, and 16 (57%) patients had a single or dominant right ventricle. Following vasopressin administration, systolic blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) increased by 17.5 (13.0, 22.8) mm Hg ( Z value -4.6, p < 0.001) and 3.8 (1.8, 7.5) Wood Units ( Z value -4.6, p < 0.001), respectively. The pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) decreased by 0.4 ± 0.4 WU ( t statistic 6.2, p < 0.001), and the left atrial pressure increased by 1.0 (0.0, 2.0) mm Hg ( Z value -3.5, p < 0.001). The PVR:SVR decreased by 0.04 ± 0.03 ( t statistic 8.1, p < 0.001). Neither the pulmonary artery pressure (median difference 0.0 [-1.0, 1.0], Z value -0.4, p = 0.69) nor cardiac index (0.1 ± 0.3, t statistic -1.4, p = 0.18) changed significantly. There were no adverse events. CONCLUSIONS In Fontan patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, vasopressin administration resulted in a significant increase in systolic blood pressure, SVR, and left atrial pressure, decrease in PVR, and no change in cardiac index or pulmonary artery pressure. These findings suggest that in Fontan patients vasopressin may be an option for treating systemic hypotension during sedation or general anesthesia.

Pediatr Cardiol 2023:10.1007/s00246-023-03302-x. [PMID: 37743384 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-023-03302-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Continuous monitoring software, T3, has an integrated index called the inadequate oxygen delivery index 50% (IDO2-50) which displays a probability that the mixed venous saturation is below a user-selected threshold of 30-50%. The primary aim of this study was to determine the correlation of the IDO2-50 with a measured venous saturation. The secondary aim of this study was to characterize the hemodynamic factors that contributed to the IDO2-50. This single-center, retrospective study aimed to characterize the correlation between IDO2-50 and inferior vena cava (IVC) saturation. A Bayesian Pearson correlation was conducted to assess the correlation between the collected variables of interest, with a particular interest in the correlation between the IDO2-50 and the IVC saturation. Receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis to assess the ability of the IDO2-50 to identify when the venous saturation was less than 50%. Bayesian linear regression was done with the IDO2-50 (dependent variable) and other independent variables. A total of 113 datasets were collected across 15 unique patients. IDO2-50 had moderate correlation with the IVC saturation (correlation coefficient - 0.569). The IDO2-50 had a weak but significant correlation with cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) values, a weak but significant correlation with heart rate, and a moderate and significant correlation with arterial saturation. ROC analysis demonstrated that the IDO2-50 had a good ability to identify a venous saturation below 50%, with an area under the curve of 0.797, cutoff point of 24.5 with a sensitivity of 81%, specificity of 66%, positive predictive value of 44%, and negative predictive value of 91%. Bayesian linear regression analysis yielded the following model: 237.82 + (1.18 × age in months) - (3.31 × arterial saturation) - (1.92 × cerebral NIRS) + (0.84 × heart rate). The IDO2 index has moderate correlation with IVC saturation. It has good sensitive and negative predictive value. Cerebral NIRS does appear to correlate better with the underlying venous saturation than the IDO2 index.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation of different methods of assessing fluid overload and determine which metrics are associated with development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the period immediately following Norwood palliation. This was a retrospective single-center study of Norwood patients from January 2011 through January 2021. AKI was defined using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). Patients were separated into two groups: those with AKI and those without. A logistic regression analysis was conducted with AKI at any point in the study period as the dependent variable and clinical and laboratory data as independent variables. Analysis was conducted as a stepwise regression. The coefficients from the logistic regression were then used to develop a cumulative AKI risk score. Spearman correlations were conducted to analyze the correlation of fluid markers. 116 patients were included, and 49 (42.4%) developed AKI. The duration of open chest, duration of mechanical ventilation, need for dialysis, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and inpatient mortality were associated with AKI (p ≤ 0.05). Stepwise logistic regression demonstrated the following significant independent associations AKI: age at Norwood in days (p < 0.01), blood urea nitrogen (p < 0.01), central venous pressure (p = 0.04), and renal oxygen extraction ratio (p < 0.01). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the logistic regression was 0.74. The fluid markers had weak R-value. Urea, central venous pressure, and renal oxygen extraction ratio are associated with AKI after the Norwood operation. Common clinical metrics used to assess fluid overload are poorly correlated with each other for postoperative Norwood patients.

Efficacy and Safety of Minimally Invasive Transcatheter Closure of Congenital Heart Disease under the Guidance of Transesophageal Ultrasound: A Randomized Controlled Trial. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2969979. [PMID: 35872962 PMCID: PMC9303110 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2969979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy of minimally invasive transcatheter closure of congenital heart disease (CHD) under the guidance of transesophageal ultrasound. Methods A total of 100 patients with CHD treated in our hospital from February 2019 to April 2020 were enrolled in the group. The patients were randomly divided into control group and research group. The control group received minimally invasive transcatheter closure under the guidance of X-ray, and the research group received minimally invasive transcatheter closure under the guidance of transesophageal ultrasound. The operative results, the intraoperative- and postoperative-related indexes, and the incidence of early postoperative complications and follow-up results were compared. Results First of all, we compared the results of the two groups: 48 cases of success, 2 cases of difficulty in the research group, 35 cases of success, 11 cases of difficulty, and 4 cases of failure in the control group. The success rate in the research group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Secondly, we compare the relevant indicators in the process of operation. The operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, upper and lower cavity obstruction time, and blood transfusion volume in the research group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). In terms of postoperative-related indexes, the ventilator-assisted time, 24 h postoperative drainage, ICU time, and postoperative hospital stay in the research group were all lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of early postoperative complications in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group such as secondary pleural hemostasis, pulmonary infection, pleural effusion, subcutaneous emphysema, poor incision healing, phrenic nerve loss, and right lower limb numbness (P < 0.05). All patients were followed up for 6 months, and the cardiac function of both groups returned to normal. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative residual shunt and new tricuspid regurgitation. There was no significant difference in the data (P > 0.05). Considering abnormal ECG events, the incidence of abnormal ECG events (complete right bundle branch block, incomplete right bundle branch block, second- and third-degree block, left anterior branch block) in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Minimally invasive transcatheter closure of CHD under the guidance of transesophageal ultrasound has the advantages of less trauma, less blood loss, short hospital stay, simple operation, less postoperative complications, and remarkable therapeutic effect. Minimally invasive transcatheter closure under the guidance of transesophageal ultrasound has the advantage of adapting to a wide range of syndromes and can be used for the closure of CHD in children. According to different types of CHD, registering the corresponding occlusive pathway can improve the success rate of operation. Through postoperative reexamination and regular follow-up, it is proved that minimally invasive transcatheter closure under the guidance of transesophageal ultrasound is safe, effective, and feasible.

Impact of Medical Interventions and Comorbidities on Norwood Admission for Patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Pediatr Cardiol 2022; 43:267-278. [PMID: 35034159 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-022-02818-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of these analyses was to determine how specific comorbidities and medical interventions impact risk of inpatient mortality in those with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing Norwood procedure. The secondary aims were to determine the impact of these on billed charges, postoperative length of stay, and risk of cardiac arrest. Admissions from 2004 to 2015 in the Pediatric Health Information System database with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and Norwood procedure were identified. Admission characteristics, patient interventions, and the presence of comorbidities were captured. A total of 5,138 admissions were identified meeting inclusion criteria. Of these 829 (16.1%) experienced inpatient mortality, and 352 (6.7%) experienced cardiac arrest. The frequency of inpatient mortality did not significantly change over the course of the study era. The frequency of cardiac arrest significantly decreased from 7.4% in 2004 to 4.3% in 2015 (p = 0.04). The frequency of pharmacologic therapies, particularly vasoactive use, decreased as the study period progressed. Regression analyses demonstrated a significant association between cardiac arrest and inpatient mortality with arrhythmias, acute kidney injury, and pulmonary hypertension. Similarly, regression analyses demonstrated a significant association between increase in billed charges and length of stay with year of surgery, presence of heart failure, syndromes, and acute kidney injury. For patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing the Norwood procedure, the frequency of pharmacologic therapies and cardiac arrest has decreased over time. There are significant associations between acute kidney injury, arrythmias, and pulmonary hypertension with cardiac arrest and mortality.
