Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with Fontan physiology require non-cardiac surgery. Our objectives were to characterise perioperative outcomes of patients with Fontan physiology undergoing non-cardiac surgery and to identify characteristics which predict discharge on the same day. MATERIALS AND METHOD Children and young adults with Fontan physiology who underwent a non-cardiac surgery or an imaging study under anaesthesia between 2013 and 2019 at a single-centre academic children's hospital were reviewed in a retrospective observational study. Continuous variables were compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test, and categorical variables were analysed using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Multivariable logistic regression analysis results are presented by adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and p values. RESULTS 182 patients underwent 344 non-cardiac procedures with anaesthesia. The median age was 11 years (IQR 5.2-18), 56.4% were male. General anaesthesia was administered in 289 (84%). 125 patients (36.3%) were discharged on the same day. On multivariable analysis, independent predictors that reduced the odds of same-day discharge included the chronic condition index (OR 0.91 per additional chronic condition, 95% CI 0.76-0.98, p = 0.022), undergoing a major surgical procedure (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.05-0.64, p = 0.009), the use of intraoperative inotropes (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.25-0.94, p = 0.031), and preoperative admission (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.1-0.57, p = 0.001). DISCUSSION In a contemporary cohort of paediatric and young adults with Fontan physiology, 36.3% were able to be discharged on the same day of their non-cardiac procedure. Well selected patients with Fontan physiology can undergo anaesthesia without complications and be discharged same day.

The Characterization of Postoperative Mechanical Respiratory Requirement in Neonates and Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery on Cardiopulmonary Bypass in a Single Tertiary Institution. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2021; 36:215-221. [PMID: 34023203 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2021.04.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although neonates and infants undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at high risk of developing perioperative morbidity and mortality, including lung injury, the intraoperative profile of lung injury in this cohort is not well-described. Given that the postoperative course of patients in the pediatric cardiac surgical arena has become increasingly expedited, the objective of this study was to characterize the profiles of postoperative mechanical ventilatory support in neonates and infants undergoing cardiac surgery on CPB and to examine the characteristics of lung mechanics and lung injury in this patient population who are potentially amendable to early postoperative recovery in a single tertiary pediatric institution. DESIGN A retrospective data analysis of neonates and infants who underwent cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. SETTING A single-center, university teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS The study included 328 neonates and infants who underwent cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. INTERVENTIONS A subset of 128 patients were studied: 58 patients undergoing ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair, 36 patients undergoing complete atrioventricular canal (CAVC) repair, and 34 patients undergoing bidirectional Glenn (BDG) shunt surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the entire cohort, 3.7% experienced in-hospital mortality. Among all surgical procedures, VSD repair (17.7%) was the most common, followed by CAVC repair (11.0%) and BDG shunt surgery (10.4%). Of patients who underwent VSD repair, CAVC repair, and BDG shunt surgery, 65.5%, 41.7%, and 67.6% were off mechanical ventilatory support within 24 hours postoperatively, respectively. In all three of the surgical repairs, lung compliance decreased after CPB compared to pre-CPB phase. Sixty point three percent of patients with VSD repair and 77.8% of patients with CAVC repair showed a PaO2/FIO2 (P/F) ratio of <300 after CPB. Post- CPB P/F ratios of 120 for VSD patients and 100 for CAVC patients were considered as optimal cutoff values to highly predict prolonged (>24 hours) postoperative mechanical ventilatory support. A higher volume of transfused platelets also was associated with postoperative ventilatory support ≥24 hours in patients undergoing VSD repair, CAVC repair, and BDG shunt surgery. CONCLUSIONS There was a high incidence of lung injury after CPB in neonates and infants, even in surgeries amendable for early recovery. Given that CPB-related factors (CPB duration, crossclamp time) and volume of transfused platelet were significantly associated with prolonged postoperative ventilatory support, the underlying cause of cardiac surgery-related lung injury can be multi-factorial.

Risk factors for pediatric surgical site infection following neurosurgical procedures for hydrocephalus: a retrospective single-center cohort study. BMC Anesthesiol 2021; 21:124. [PMID: 33882858 PMCID: PMC8059169 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-021-01342-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Infection is a major complication following cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) diversion procedures for hydrocephalus. However, pediatric risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) are currently not well defined. Because a SSI prevention bundle is increasingly introduced, the purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors associated with SSIs following CSF diversion surgeries following a SSI bundle at a single quaternary care pediatric hospital. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing CSF diversion procedures from 2017 to 2019. SSIs were identified prospectively through continuous surveillance. We performed unadjusted logistic regression analyses and univariate analyses to determine an association between SSIs and patient demographics, comorbidities and perioperative factors to identify independent risk factors for SSI. Results We identified a total of 558 CSF diversion procedures with an overall SSI rate of 3.4%. The SSI rates for shunt, external ventricular drain (EVD) placement, and endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) were 4.3, 6.9 and 0%, respectively. Among 323 shunt operations, receipt of clindamycin as perioperative prophylaxis and presence of cardiac disease were significantly associated with SSI (O.R. 4.99, 95% C.I. 1.27–19.70, p = 0.02 for the former, and O.R. 7.19, 95% C.I. 1.35–38.35, p = 0.02 for the latter). No risk factors for SSI were identified among 72 EVD procedures. Conclusion We identified receipt of clindamycin as perioperative prophylaxis and the presence of cardiac disease as risk factors for SSI in shunt procedures. Cefazolin is recommended as a standard antibiotic for perioperative prophylaxis. Knowing that unsubstantiated beta-lactam allergy label is a significant medical problem, efforts should be made to clarify beta-lactam allergy status to maximize the number of patients who can receive cefazolin for prophylaxis before shunt placement. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanism by which cardiac disease may increase SSI risk after shunt procedures.

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
OBJECTIVES Patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome are associated with a high risk of hemodynamic collapse during sedation and/or anesthesia, presumably due to occult coronary obstruction. The objective of this study was to determine the association between transthoracic echocardiogram findings and the presence of coronary obstruction to examine if coronary obstruction can be predicted by transthoracic echocardiogram before anesthesia. DESIGN Retrospective data analysis of patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome who underwent transthoracic echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, and/or surgical interventions to determine the correlation between echocardiogram findings and the presence of coronary obstruction determined by cardiac catheterization and/or surgery. SETTING Single-center university teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS The study included 49 patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome who underwent transthoracic echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization, and/or surgical interventions. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The only variable associated with coronary artery obstruction was the maximum instantaneous gradient (MIG) across the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) on a transthoracic echocardiogram. LVOT MIG ≥ 75 mmHg as the optimal cutoff value was associated with coronary artery obstruction (area under the curve 0.659, odds ratio 6.71, 95% CI 1.31-34.35, p = 0.022). CONCLUSION LVOT gradient can serve as a good predictor of the presence of coronary obstruction in patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome.

Abstract
The number of children with congenital heart requiring anesthetic care is increasing. We describe the anesthetic management of a child with single ventricle candidate for laryngotracheal reconstruction. The patient suffered from severe subglottic stenosis due to prolonged intubation following Glenn shunt procedure. Anesthetic considerations in the care of patients with single ventricle for non-cardiac surgeries are reviewed. Particular concerns in the airway management of children with severe subglottic stenosis and during the tracheal surgery are also reviewed.

Abstract
With a significant improvement of survival in patients with congenital heart disease, we expect to encounter these patients more frequently for various medical issues. Clinical studies indicate that infection can pose higher risk in this cohort than general population. Here, with the hypothesis that more severe infection-related complications in CHD cohort may be linked to their inadequate immune response, we reviewed the current literature regarding neutrophil and T cell functions in patients with congenital heart diseases.

Abstract
As the outcome of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) has improved, the number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) outnumbered pediatric population with CHD. Heart failure is responsible for 40% of mortality among ACHD, and the number of heart transplantation for ACHD is gradually increasing. However, the early mortality rate of heart transplantation is significantly higher in ACHD than in non-ACHD. Understanding the unique characteristics of heart transplantation in ACHD is critical. In contrast to their early outcome their long-term survival is better in ACHD than in non-CHD patients, and they are likely to present to anesthesia care after heart transplantation for various reasons. Understanding specific issues in post-transplant anesthesia care is another important aspect.

Abstract
Increasing numbers of adult patients with complex congenital heart conditions are presenting for noncardiac surgery later in life. These disorders can present challenges for surgical and anesthesia providers. Specifically, single ventricle lesions offer anatomic and physiologic concerns during the perioperative period. Single ventricle physiology represents a delicate balance between systemic and pulmonary blood flow. Any alterations in blood flow through these systems can produce undesirable hemodynamic changes, especially during the perioperative period. We present a case of an adult patient with a single left ventricle who presented for laparoscopic total colectomy due to inflammatory bowel disease. His abnormal anatomy coupled with the hemodynamic disruptions caused by laparoscopy presented significant anesthetic challenges. We highlight the anesthetic concerns of single ventricle physiology, specifically pertaining to laparoscopic surgery. We provide recommendations for safely managing these patients perioperatively. With detailed preoperative evaluation and close hemodynamic monitoring during the perioperative period, these patients can experience successful surgical and anesthetic outcomes.

Abstract
We present the case of a 20-year-old woman with a history of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, D-transposition of the great arteries, and mitral/pulmonary valve atresia without surgical palliation, who was admitted with persistent atrial flutter/fibrillation and worsening cardiac function from amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis. Despite maximal medical therapy, she continued to have uncontrolled thyrotoxicosis and underwent successful emergent thyroidectomy under general anesthesia. With advances in the treatment of congenital heart disease, more patients are surviving to adulthood and require emergent noncardiac surgery. Therefore, anesthesiologists must understand the principles for managing patients with congenital heart disease and how the patient's physiology may affect the anesthetic plan.

Abstract
Over the course of the past 4 decades, the survival of patients with the Fontan circulation has improved and today they often present for noncardiac surgery anesthesia care. In patients with the Fontan circulation, pulmonary blood flow is passive and anesthetic management is directed at reducing pulmonary vascular resistance and maintaining adequate cardiac output. One-lung ventilation can have unfavorable effects on the Fontan circulation due to hypoxia, hypercarbia, and increased airway pressure. We present a case of successful one-lung ventilation in a patient with the Fontan circulation and describe the perioperative anesthetic management.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize recent publications emphasizing the changes in the population of patients with congenital heart disease and trends in the anesthetic and perioperative care of these patients presenting for noncardiac procedures. RECENT FINDINGS It has been reported that children with congenital heart disease presenting for noncardiac surgery are at an increased anesthetic risk. This risk has become better defined. The patients at highest risk are infants with a functional single ventricle and patients with suprasystemic pulmonary hypertension, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction or dilated cardiomyopathy. Familiarity with the physiology and perioperative implications of the stages of single ventricle palliation is critical. The anesthetic approach, monitoring, conduct of surgery and postoperative care and outcomes are variable in this patient population. Recent literature reflects the growing number of children with ventricular assist devices and the management of these patients for noncardiac procedures. Cardiac imaging modalities provide diagnostic information, and strategies for reducing anesthetic risk for these procedures are of great interest. Pharmacologic trends and the application of technology are reviewed. SUMMARY The identification of high-risk patients, multidisciplinary decision-making and planning and careful anesthetic management and monitoring are critical for optimizing outcomes in children with congenital heart disease presenting for noncardiac procedures.

Abstract
Infants born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome or other lesions resulting in a single right ventricle face the highest risk of mortality among all forms of congenital heart disease. Before the modern era of surgical palliation, these conditions were universally lethal; recent refinements in surgical technique and perioperative management have translated into dramatic improvements in survival. Nonetheless, these infants remain at a high risk of morbidity and mortality, and an appreciation of single ventricle physiology is fundamental to the care of these high-risk patients. Herein, resuscitation and perioperative management of infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome are reviewed. Basic neonatal and pediatric life support recommendations are summarized, and perioperative first-stage clinical management strategies are reviewed.

Abstract
The considerable progress, performed for more than 30 years, in paediatric and interventional cardiology, imaging, surgery, anaesthesia and critical care in the congenital heart diseases allowed the survival the adulthood of more than 85 % of the affected children. The univentricular repair in total cavopulmonary connection or Fontan procedure, are realized in three stages, now, before the age of 5 years, with a different physiology after each stage. This point makes anaesthetic care more complicated for a non-cardiac surgery. The precise knowledge of the physiology of the "Fontan" is necessary before proceeding with anaesthesia. It allows to anticipate the pitfalls and to define specific strategies to be applied.

Abstract
Advances in the surgical palliation and correction of congenital heart lesions have improved survival and increased the number of patients living into adulthood. Although pregnancy outcomes will be favorable for most patients with congenital heart disease, the cardiovascular challenges associated with pregnancy and delivery are best managed with a multidisciplinary approach during the puerperium. This review addresses the prevalence, physiology, risk assessment, peripartum complications, and anesthetic management of the pregnant patient with underlying congenital heart disease.
