Abstract
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation is the physiologic process whereby blood supply to the brain is kept constant over a range of cerebral perfusion pressures ensuring a constant supply of metabolic substrate. Clinical methods for monitoring CBF autoregulation were first developed for neurocritically ill patients and have been extended to surgical patients. These methods are based on measuring the relationship between cerebral perfusion pressure and surrogates of CBF or cerebral blood volume (CBV) at low frequencies (<0.05 Hz) of autoregulation using time or frequency domain analyses. Initially intracranial pressure monitoring or transcranial Doppler assessment of CBF velocity was utilised relative to changes in cerebral perfusion pressure or mean arterial pressure. A more clinically practical approach utilising filtered signals from near infrared spectroscopy monitors as an estimate of CBF has been validated. In contrast to the traditional teaching that 50 mm Hg is the autoregulation threshold, these investigations have found wide interindividual variability of the lower limit of autoregulation ranging from 40 to 90 mm Hg in adults and 20-55 mm Hg in children. Observational data have linked impaired CBF autoregulation metrics to adverse outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury, ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage, and in surgical patients. CBF autoregulation monitoring has been described in both cardiac and noncardiac surgery. Data from a single-centre randomised study in adults found that targeting arterial pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass to above the lower limit of autoregulation led to a reduction of postoperative delirium and improved memory 1 month after surgery compared with usual care. Together, the growing body of evidence suggests that monitoring CBF autoregulation provides prognostic information on eventual patient outcomes and offers potential for therapeutic intervention. For surgical patients, personalised blood pressure management based on CBF autoregulation data holds promise as a strategy to improve patient neurocognitive outcomes.

Abstract
Precision medicine, characterized by the personalized integration of a patient's genetic blueprint and clinical history, represents a dynamic paradigm in healthcare evolution. The emerging field of personalized anesthesia is at the intersection of genetics and anesthesiology, where anesthetic care will be tailored to an individual's genetic make-up, comorbidities and patient-specific factors. Genomics and biomarkers can provide more accurate anesthetic protocols, while artificial intelligence can simplify anesthetic procedures and reduce anesthetic risks, and real-time monitoring tools can improve perioperative safety and efficacy. The aim of this paper is to present and summarize the applications of these related fields in anesthesiology by reviewing them, exploring the potential of advanced technologies in the implementation and development of personalized anesthesia, realizing the future integration of new technologies into clinical practice, and promoting multidisciplinary collaboration between anesthesiology and disciplines such as genomics and artificial intelligence.

Abstract
To delineate prevalence of stroke in the pediatric intensive care unit and to determine risk factors for stroke and association of stroke with mortality in patients with congenital heart disease. Retrospective cohort study. Patients admitted to pediatric intensive care units in the USA participating in the Pediatric Health Information System database from 2016 to 2021. Patients were categorized as those who experienced ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke and those with congenital heart disease. We performed univariate and multivariate logistic regressions to determine risk factors associated with stroke and then developed a predictive model for stroke development in patients with congenital heart disease. Of 426,029 admissions analyzed, 4237 (0.9%) patients experienced stroke and 1197 (1.4%) of 80,927 patients with congenital heart disease developed stroke (odds ratio 1.15, 95% confidence interval 1.06-1.24). Patients with congenital heart disease, younger age, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, mechanical ventilation, and cardiac arrest were most strongly associated with increased risk of stroke. Stroke increased odds of mortality for patients with congenital heart disease (odds ratio 2.49, 95% confidence interval 2.08-2.98). A risk score greater than 0 was associated with a 33.3% risk of stroke for patients with congenital heart disease (negative predictive value of 99%, sensitivity 69%, specificity 63%). Children with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for developing stroke, which is associated with increased mortality. Early identification of the most vulnerable patients may enable providers to implement preventative measures or rapid treatment strategies to prevent neurologic morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is believed to be relatively constant within an upper and lower blood pressure limit. Different methods are available to monitor CBF autoregulation during surgery. This study aims to critically analyze the application of the cerebral oxygenation index (COx), one of the commonly used techniques, using a reference to data from a series of clinical registrations. METHOD CBF was monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy, while cerebral blood pressure was estimated by recordings obtained from either the radial or femoral artery in 10 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. The association between CBF and blood pressure was calculated as a moving continuous correlation coefficient. A COx index > 0.4 was regarded as a sign of abnormal cerebral autoregulation (CA). Recordings were examined to discuss reliability measures and clinical feasibility of the measurements, followed by interpretation of individual results, identification of possible pitfalls, and suggestions of alternative methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Monitoring of CA during cardiopulmonary bypass is intriguing and complex. A series of challenges and limitations should be considered before introducing this method into clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impairment of cerebral autoregulation (CA) has been observed in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but little is known about its risks and associations with outcomes. The cerebral oximetry index (COx), which is a moving linear correlation coefficient between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) and mean blood pressure (MAP), may reflect CA function. When COx approaches 1, it implies that CA is damaged, whereas the CA is functional when the COx value approaches 0. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence and risks of impaired CA, based on COx assessment, in patients undergoing total aortic arch replacement under systemic moderate hypothermia and circulatory arrest of the lower body (MHCA). We also evaluated the association between impaired CA and patient outcomes. METHODS One hundred and fifty-four adult patients who underwent total aortic arch replacement with stented elephant trunk implantation under MHCA at our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were defined as having new-onset impaired CA if pre-CPB COx < 0.3 and post-CPB COx > 0.3. Pre- and intraoperative factors were tested for independent association with impaired CA. Postoperative outcomes were compared between patients with normal and impaired CA. RESULTS In our 154 patients, 46(29.9%) developed new-onset impaired CA after CPB. Multivariable analysis revealed a prolonged low rScO2 (rScO2 < 55%) independently associated with onset of impaired CA, and receiver operating charactoristic curve showed a cutoff value at 40 min (sensitivity, 89.5%; specificity, 68.0%). Compared with normal CA patients, those with impaired CA showed a significantly higher rates of in-hospital mortality and postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged low rScO2 (rScO2 < 55%) during aortic arch surgery was closely related to onset of impaired CA. Impaired CA remained associated with the increased rates of postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR1800014545 with registered date 20/01/2018.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The lower limit of autoregulation (LLA) of cerebral blood flow was previously shown to vary directly with the Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index (AASI) redefined as 1-regression slope of DBP-versus-SBP readings invasively measured from the radial artery before the bypass. We aimed expanding the predictive capacity of the LLA with AASI by combining it with additional predictors and provide new indications whether mean arterial pressure (MAP) is above/below the LLA. DESIGN AND METHOD In 181 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, mean (SD) age 71 (8) years), we identified from the demographic, preoperative and intraoperative characteristics independent and statistically significant 'single predictors' of the LLA (including AASI). This was achieved using multivariate linear regression with a backward-elimination technique. The single predictors combined with 1-AASI generated new multiplicative and additive composite predictors of the LLA. Indicators for the MAP-to-LLA difference (DIF) were determined using DIF-versus-predictor plots. The odds ratio (OR) for the DIF sign (Outcome = 1 for DIF≤0) and predictor-minus-median sign (Exposure = 1 for Predictor ≤ Median) were calculated using logistic regression. RESULTS BMI, 1-AASI and systolic coefficient of variation were identified single predictors that correlated similarly with the LLA ( r = -0.26 to -0.27, P < 0.001). The multiplicative and additive composite predictors displayed higher correlation with LLA ( r = -0.41 and r = -0.43, respectively, P < 0.001) and improved LLA estimation. The adjusted OR for the composite predictors was nearly twice that of the single predictors. CONCLUSION The novel composite predictors may enhance the LLA estimation and the ability to maintain MAP in the cerebral autoregulatory range during cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication after the repair of Type A acute aortic dissection (TA-AAD). However, previous models have failed to account for the impact of blood pressure fluctuations on predictive performance. This study aims to develop machine learning (ML) models combined with intraoperative medicine and blood pressure time-series data to improve the accuracy of early prediction for postoperative AKI risk. METHODS Indicators reflecting the duration and depth of hypotension were obtained by analyzing continuous mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitored intraoperatively with multiple thresholds (<65, 60, 55, 50) set in the study. The predictive features were selected by logistic regression and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and 4 ML models were built based on the above features. The performance of the models was evaluated by area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA). Shapley additive interpretation (SHAP) was used to explain the prediction models. RESULTS Among the indicators reflecting intraoperative hypotension, 65 mmHg showed a statistically superior difference to other thresholds in patients with or without AKI (p < .001). Among 4 models, the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model demonstrated the highest AUROC: 0.800 (95% 0.683-0.917) and sensitivity: 0.717 in the testing set and was verified the best-performing model. The SHAP summary plot indicated that intraoperative urine output, cumulative time of mean arterial pressure lower than 65 mmHg outside cardiopulmonary bypass (OUT_CPB_MAP_65 time), autologous blood transfusion, and smoking were the top 4 features that contributed to the prediction model. CONCLUSION With the introduction of intraoperative blood pressure time-series variables, we have developed an interpretable XGBoost model that successfully achieve high accuracy in predicting the risk of AKI after TA-AAD repair, which might aid in the perioperative management of high-risk patients, particularly for intraoperative hemodynamic regulation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recently, cerebral autoregulation indices based on moving correlation indices between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cerebral oximetry (NIRS, ORx) or transcranial Doppler (TCD)-derived middle cerebral artery flow velocity (Mx) have been introduced to clinical practice. In a pilot study, we aimed to evaluate the validity of these indices using incremental lower body negative pressure (LBNP) until presyncope representing beginning cerebral hypoperfusion as well as lower body positive pressure (LBPP) with added mild hypoxia to induce cerebral hyperperfusion in healthy subjects. METHODS Five male subjects received continuous hemodynamic, TCD and NIRS monitoring. Decreasing levels of LBNP were applied in 5-minute steps until subjects reached presyncope. Increasing levels of LBPP were applied stepwise up to 20 or 25 mmHg. Normobaric hypoxia was added until an oxygen saturation of 84% was reached. This was continued for 10 minutes. ORx and Mx indices were calculated using previously described methods. RESULTS Both Indices showed an increase > 0.3 indicating impaired cerebral autoregulation during presyncope. However, there was no significant difference in Mx at presyncope compared to baseline (p = 0.168). Mean arterial pressure and cardiac output decreased only in presyncope, while stroke volume was decreased at the last pressure level. Neither Mx nor ORx showed significant changes during LBPP or hypoxia. Agreement between Mx and ORx was poor during the LBNP and LBPP experiments (R2 = 0.001, p = 0.3339). CONCLUSION Mx and ORx represent impaired cerebral autoregulation, but in Mx this may not be distinguished sufficiently from baseline. LBPP and hypoxia are insufficient to reach the upper limit of cerebral autoregulation as indicated by Mx and ORx.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is a feared complication after cardiothoracic surgery, with an incidence of around 2 to 3%. Anaesthesia and postoperative sedation may obscure clinical symptoms of stroke and thus delay diagnosis and timely intervention. OBJECTIVES The objective was to assess the value of intra-operative neuromonitoring and blood pressure monitoring for predicting the occurrence of peri-operative stroke within 3 days after cardiothoracic surgery. DESIGN Single-centre retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING Academic tertiary care medical centre. PATIENTS All consecutive patients with cardiothoracic surgery and intra-operative neuromonitoring admitted postoperatively to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between 2008 and 2017. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary endpoint was the occurrence of any stroke confirmed by brain imaging within 3 days postcardiothoracic surgery. Areas under the curve (AUC) of intra-operative mean arterial pressure (MAP), cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) and bispectral index (BIS) below predefined thresholds were calculated, and the association with early stroke was tested using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS A total of 2454 patients admitted to the ICU after cardiothoracic surgery had complete intra-operative data for ScO2, BIS and MAP and were included in the analysis. In 58 patients (2.4%), a stroke was confirmed. In univariate analysis, a larger AUCMAP greater than 60 mmHg [odds ratio (OR) 1.43; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.21 to 1.68) and larger AUCBIS<25 (OR 1.51; 95% CI, 1.24 to 1.83) were associated with the occurrence of postoperative stroke while ScO2 less than 50% or greater than 20% reduction from individual baseline was not (OR 0.91; 95% CI, 0.50 to 1.67). After multivariable analysis, AUCBIS<25 (OR 1.45; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.87) and longer duration of MAP less than 60 mmHg (OR 1.52; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.27) remained independently associated with stroke occurrence. CONCLUSION Cumulative intra-operative BIS values below 25 and longer duration of MAP below 60 mmHg were associated with the occurrence of peri-operative stroke within 3 days after cardiothoracic surgery. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate a causal relationship between low BIS and stroke to establish whether avoiding intra-operative BIS values below 25 might reduce the incidence of peri-operative stroke.

Evaluation of Different Cannulation Strategies for Aortic Arch Surgery Using a Cardiovascular Numerical Simulator. BIOENGINEERING (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:bioengineering10010060. [PMID: 36671632 PMCID: PMC9854437 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10010060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Aortic disease has a significant impact on quality of life. The involvement of the aortic arch requires the preservation of blood supply to the brain during surgery. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest is an established technique for this purpose, although neurological injury remains high. Additional techniques have been used to reduce risk, although controversy still remains. A three-way cannulation approach, including both carotid arteries and the femoral artery or the ascending aorta, has been used successfully for aortic arch replacement and redo procedures. We developed circuits of the circulation to simulate blood flow during this type of cannulation set up. The CARDIOSIM© cardiovascular simulation platform was used to analyse the effect on haemodynamic and energetic parameters and the benefit derived in terms of organ perfusion pressure and flow. Our simulation approach based on lumped-parameter modelling, pressure-volume analysis and modified time-varying elastance provides a theoretical background to a three-way cannulation strategy for aortic arch surgery with correlation to the observed clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative stroke, delirium, and cognitive impairment could be related to management and to variations in blood pressure control, cerebral hypoperfusion and raised blood volume. Cerebral autoregulation (CAR) is a mechanism to maintain cerebral perfusion through the control of the vascular tone and hemodynamic reactions in the circulation. OBJECTIVE The present systematic review addresses the relationship between impaired CAR and perioperative stroke by evaluating the rate of neurological complications after surgery in studies in which perioperative CAR was tested or monitored. METHODS We included randomized clinical trials and prospective observational studies. All studies had adjusted the relative risk, hazard ratio or 95% confidence interval (95%CI) values. These estimation effects were tested using random-effects models. Heterogeneity among the selected studies was assessed using the Higgins and Thompson I2 statistics. RESULTS The Web of Science, PubMed and EMBASE electronic databases were searched to retrieve articles. A total of 4,476 studies published between 1983 and 2019 were analyzed, but only 5 qualified for the data extraction and were included in the final analysis. The combined study cohort comprised 941 patients who underwent CAR monitoring during surgical procedures. All studies provided information about perioperative stroke, which equated to 16% (158 of 941) of the overall patient population. CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis showed evidence of the impact of CAR impairment in the risk of perioperative stroke. On the pooled analysis, blood fluctuations or other brain insults large enough to compromise CAR were associated with the outcome of stroke (odds ratio [OR]: 2.26; 95%CI: 1.54-2.98; p < 0.0001).

Abstract
It is unclear whether blood pressure variability in the post-anesthesia care unit is associated with postoperative complications. This study aims to characterize the impact of blood pressure fluctuations on postoperative complications and postoperative length of stay after meningioma surgery. Adult meningioma patients undergoing general anesthesia were retrospectively recruited. The principal exposure was blood pressure variability in the post-anesthesia care unit, calculated by noninvasive blood pressure measurements. The primary outcome was major postoperative complications, defined as II or higher in the Clavien-Dindo classification grades. Secondary outcomes included healthcare resource utilization parameters among patients. Multivariable logistic regression was used and adjusted for potential confounding variables. Data sensitivity analyses were performed via different variable transformations and propensity score matching analyses. A total of 578 patients qualified for the study, and 161 (27.9%) cases experienced postoperative complications. The multivariable analysis found that increased systolic blood pressure variability in the post-anesthesia care unit was associated with postoperative complications (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09-1.22, P < .001) and prolonged postoperative length of stay (adjusted regression coefficients [β] = 1.86; 95% CI, 0.58-3.13, P = .004). Patients with postoperative complications had a higher frequency of intensive care admission (44.1% vs 15.3%), major postoperative interventions (6.6% vs 0%), and 30-day readmission (5.0% vs 0.7%). Systolic blood pressure fluctuations during resuscitation have an independent impact on postoperative complications and postoperative length of stay following meningioma surgery.

Relationships between common carotid artery blood flow and anesthesia, pneumoperitoneum, and head-down tilt position: a linear mixed-effect analysis. J Clin Monit Comput 2022; 37:669-677. [PMID: 36463542 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-022-00940-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of pneumoperitoneum and the head-down tilt position on common carotid artery (CCA) blood flow in surgical patients. METHODS This prospective observational study included 20 patients who underwent gynecological surgery. CCA blood flow was measured using Doppler ultrasound at four-time points: awake in the supine position [T1], 3 min after anesthesia induction in the supine position [T2], 3 min after pneumoperitoneum in the supine position [T3], and 3 min after pneumoperitoneum in the head-down tilt position [T4]. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were also recorded at each time point. Linear mixed-effect analyses were performed to compare CCA blood flow across the time points and assess its relationship with hemodynamic parameters. RESULTS Compared with T1, CCA blood flow decreased significantly at T2 (345.4 [288.0-392.9] vs. 293.1 [253.0-342.6], P = 0.048). CCA blood flow were also significantly lower at T3 and T4 compared with T1 (345.4 [288.0-392.9] vs. 283.6 [258.8-307.6] and 287.1 [242.1-321.4], P = 0.005 and 0.016, respectively). CCA blood flow at T3 and T4 did not significantly differ from that at T2. Changes in CCA blood flow were significantly associated with changes in cardiac index and stroke volume index (P = 0.011 and 0.024, respectively). CONCLUSION CCA blood flow was significantly decreased by anesthesia induction. Inducing pneumoperitoneum, with or without the head-down tilt position, did not further decrease CCA blood flow if the cardiac index remained unchanged. The cardiac index and stroke volume index were significantly associated with CCA blood flow. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04233177, January 18, 2020).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who undergo cardiac surgery are at increased risk of stroke, postoperative cognitive decline, and delirium. These neurocognitive complications have led to increased costs, intensive care unit stays, morbidity, and mortality. As a result, there is a significant push to mitigate any neurological complications in cardiac surgery patients. Near-infrared spectroscopy to measure regional cerebral oxygen saturations has gained consideration due to its noninvasive and user-friendly nature. Cerebral oximetry desaturations during cardiac surgery have been linked to an array of adverse clinical outcomes. However, the most effective intraoperative interventions to protect this vulnerable patient population have yet to be ascertained. AIM OF STUDY To provide a comprehensive summary of the intraoperative management for cerebral oximetry desaturations during cardiac surgery. The review highlights clinical outcomes from cerebral oximetry use to quantify the importance of identifying cerebral desaturations during cardiac surgery. The review then interrogates possible interventions for cerebral oximetry desaturations in an effort to determine which interventions are most efficacious and to enlighten possible areas for further research. METHODS A narrative review of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews with metanalyses was performed through August 2021. RESULTS There is significant heterogeneity among patient populations for which cerebral oximetry monitoring has been studied in cardiac surgery. Further, the definition of a clinically significant cerebral desaturation and the assessment of neurocognitive outcomes varied substantially across studies. As a result, metanalysis is challenging and few conclusions can be drawn. Cerebral oximetry use during cardiac surgery has not been associated with improvements in neurocognitive outcomes, morbidity, or mortality to date. The evidence to support a particular intervention for an acute desaturation is equivocal. CONCLUSIONS Future research is needed to quantify a clinically significant cerebral desaturation and to determine which interventions for an acute desaturation effectively improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery is performed worldwide. Most types of cardiac surgery are performed using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Cardiac surgery performed with CPB is associated with morbidities. CPB needs an extracorporeal circulation that replaces the heart and lungs, and performs circulation, ventilation, and oxygenation of the blood. The lower limit of mean blood pressure to maintain blood flow to vital organs increases in people with chronic hypertension. Because people undergoing cardiac surgery commonly have chronic hypertension, we hypothesised that maintaining a relatively high blood pressure improves desirable outcomes among the people undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefits and harms of higher versus lower blood pressure targets during cardiac surgery with CPB. SEARCH METHODS We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search of databases was November 2021 and trials registries in January 2020. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing a higher blood pressure target (mean arterial pressure 65 mmHg or greater) with a lower blood pressure target (mean arterial pressure less than 65 mmHg) in adults undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard Cochrane methods. Primary outcomes were 1. acute kidney injury, 2. cognitive deterioration, and 3. all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were 4. quality of life, 5. acute ischaemic stroke, 6. haemorrhagic stroke, 7. length of hospital stay, 8. renal replacement therapy, 9. delirium, 10. perioperative transfusion of blood products, and 11. perioperative myocardial infarction. We used GRADE to assess certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS We included three RCTs with 737 people compared a higher blood pressure target with a lower blood pressure target during cardiac surgery with CPB. A high blood pressure target may result in little to no difference in acute kidney injury (risk ratio (RR) 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.81 to 2.08; I² = 72%; 2 studies, 487 participants; low-certainty evidence), cognitive deterioration (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.50; I² = 0%; 2 studies, 389 participants; low-certainty evidence), and all-cause mortality (RR 1.33, 95% CI 0.30 to 5.90; I² = 49%; 3 studies, 737 participants; low-certainty evidence). No study reported haemorrhagic stroke. Although a high blood pressure target may increase the length of hospital stay slightly, we found no differences between a higher and a lower blood pressure target for the other secondary outcomes. We also identified one ongoing RCT which is comparing a higher versus a lower blood pressure target among the people who undergo cardiac surgery with CPB. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS A high blood pressure target may result in little to no difference in patient outcomes including acute kidney injury and mortality. Given the wide CIs, further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of a higher blood pressure target among those who undergo cardiac surgery with CPB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between intraoperative physiology and postoperative stroke is incompletely understood. Preliminary data suggest that either hypo- or hypercapnia coupled with reduced cerebrovascular inflow (e.g., due to hypotension) can lead to ischemia. This study tested the hypothesis that the combination of intraoperative hypotension and either hypo- or hypercarbia is associated with postoperative ischemic stroke. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, case-control study via the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group. Noncardiac, nonintracranial, and nonmajor vascular surgical cases (18 yr or older) were extracted from five major academic centers between January 2004 and December 2015. Ischemic stroke cases were identified via manual chart review and matched to controls (1:4). Time and reduction below key mean arterial blood pressure thresholds (less than 55 mmHg, less than 60 mmHg, less than 65 mmHg) and outside of specific end-tidal carbon dioxide thresholds (30 mmHg or less, 35 mmHg or less, 45 mmHg or greater) were calculated based on total area under the curve. The association between stroke and total area under the curve values was then tested while adjusting for relevant confounders. RESULTS In total, 1,244,881 cases were analyzed. Among the cases that screened positive for stroke (n = 1,702), 126 were confirmed and successfully matched with 500 corresponding controls. Total area under the curve was significantly associated with stroke for all thresholds tested, with the strongest combination observed with mean arterial pressure less than 55 mmHg (adjusted odds ratio per 10 mmHg-min, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.10 to 1.23], P < 0.0001) and end-tidal carbon dioxide 45 mmHg or greater (adjusted odds ratio per 10 mmHg-min, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.10 to 1.11], P < 0.0001). There was no interaction effect observed between blood pressure and carbon dioxide. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative hypotension and carbon dioxide dysregulation may each independently increase postoperative stroke risk. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated perioperative heart rate potentially causes perioperative myocardial injury because of imbalance in oxygen supply and demand. However, large multicenter studies evaluating early postoperative heart rate and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) are lacking. OBJECTIVE To assess the associations of 4 postoperative heart rate assessment methods with in-hospital MACCEs after elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS Using data from the eICU Collaborative Research Database in the United States from 2014 to 2015, the study evaluated postoperative heart rate measured during hospitalization within 24 hours after intensive care unit admission. Four heart rate assessment methods were evaluated: maximum heart rate, duration above heart rate 100/min, area above heart rate 100/min, and time-weighted average heart rate. The outcome was in-hospital MACCEs, defined as a composite of in-hospital death, myocardial infarction, angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, stroke, cardiac arrest, or repeat revascularization. RESULTS Among 2585 patients, the crude rate of in-hospital MACCEs was 6.2%. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, the adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for in-hospital MAC-CEs assessed by maximum heart rate in each heart rate category (beats per minute: >100-110, >110-120, >120-130, and >130) were 1.43 (0.95-2.15), 0.98 (0.56-1.64), 1.47 (0.76-2.69), and 1.71 (0.80-3.35), respectively. Similarly, none of the other 3 methods were associated with MACCEs. CONCLUSIONS More research is needed to assess the usefulness of heart rate measurement in patients after CABG.

Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) is a basic determinant for organ blood flow supply. Insufficient blood supply will cause tissue hypoxia, provoke cellular oxidative stress, and to some extent lead to organ injury. Perioperative BP is labile and dynamic, and intraoperative hypotension is common. It is unclear whether there is a causal relationship between intraoperative hypotension and organ injury. However, hypotension surely compromises perfusion and causes harm to some extent. Because the harm threshold remains unknown, various guidelines for intraoperative BP management have been proposed. With the pending definitions from robust randomized trials, it is reasonable to consider observational analyses suggesting that mean arterial pressures below 65 mmHg sustained for more than 15 minutes are associated with myocardial and renal injury. Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence may facilitate the management of hemodynamics globally, including fluid administration, rather than BP alone. The previous mounting studies concentrated on associations between BP targets and adverse complications, whereas few studies were concerned about how to treat and multiple factors for decision-making. Hence, in this narrative review, we discussed the way of BP measurement and current knowledge about baseline BP extracting for surgical patients, highlighted the decision-making process for BP management with a view to providing pragmatic guidance for BP treatment in the clinical settings, and evaluated the merits of an automated blood control system in predicting hypotension.

Comparison of different metrics of cerebral autoregulation in association with major morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Br J Anaesth 2022; 129:22-32. [PMID: 35597624 PMCID: PMC9428920 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2022.03.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery studies have established the clinical relevance of personalised arterial blood pressure management based on cerebral autoregulation. However, variabilities exist in autoregulation evaluation. We compared the association of several cerebral autoregulation metrics, calculated using different methods, with outcomes after cardiac surgery. METHODS Autoregulation was measured during cardiac surgery in 240 patients. Mean flow index and cerebral oximetry index were calculated as Pearson's correlations between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and transcranial Doppler blood flow velocity or near-infrared spectroscopy signals. The lower limit of autoregulation and optimal mean arterial pressure were identified using mean flow index and cerebral oximetry index. Regression models were used to examine associations of area under curve and duration of mean arterial pressure below thresholds with stroke, acute kidney injury (AKI), and major morbidity and mortality. RESULTS Both mean flow index and cerebral oximetry index identified the cerebral lower limit of autoregulation below which MAP was associated with a higher incidence of AKI and major morbidity and mortality. Based on magnitude and significance of the estimates in adjusted models, the area under curve of MAP < lower limit of autoregulation had the strongest association with AKI and major morbidity and mortality. The odds ratio for area under the curve of MAP < lower limit of autoregulation was 1.05 (95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.09), meaning every 1 mm Hg h increase of area under the curve was associated with an average increase in the odds of AKI by 5%. CONCLUSIONS For cardiac surgery patients, area under curve of MAP < lower limit of autoregulation using mean flow index or cerebral oximetry index had the strongest association with AKI and major morbidity and mortality. Trials are necessary to evaluate this target for MAP management.

Abstract
Aim Postresuscitation hemodynamics are associated with hospital mortality/functional outcome. We sought to determine whether low-dose steroids started during and continued after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affect postresuscitation hemodynamics and other physiological variables in vasopressor-requiring, in-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods We conducted a two-center, randomized, double-blind trial of patients with adrenaline (epinephrine)-requiring cardiac arrest. Patients were randomized to receive either methylprednisolone 40 mg (steroids group) or normal saline-placebo (control group) during the first CPR cycle post-enrollment. Postresuscitation shock was treated with hydrocortisone 240 mg daily for 7 days maximum and gradual taper (steroids group), or saline-placebo (control group). Primary outcomes were arterial pressure and central-venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) within 72 hours post-ROSC. Results Eighty nine of 98 controls and 80 of 86 steroids group patients with ROSC were treated as randomized. Primary outcome data were collected from 100 patients with ROSC (control, n = 54; steroids, n = 46). In intention-to-treat mixed-model analyses, there was no significant effect of group on arterial pressure, marginal mean (95% confidence interval) for mean arterial pressure, steroids vs. control: 74 (68–80) vs. 72 (66–79) mmHg] and ScvO2 [71 (68–75)% vs. 69 (65–73)%], cardiac index [2.8 (2.5–3.1) vs. 2.9 (2.5–3.2) L/min/m2], and serum cytokine concentrations [e.g. interleukin-6, 89.1 (42.8–133.9) vs. 75.7 (52.1–152.3) pg/mL] determined within 72 hours post-ROSC (P = 0.12–0.86). There was no between-group difference in body temperature, echocardiographic variables, prefrontal blood flow index/cerebral autoregulation, organ failure-free days, and hazard for poor in-hospital/functional outcome, and adverse events (P = 0.08–>0.99). Conclusions Our results do not support the use of low-dose corticosteroids in in-hospital cardiac arrest. Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT02790788 (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov).

Abstract
BACKGROUND In cardiac surgery, the association between hypotension during specific intraoperative phases or vasopressor-inotropes with adverse outcomes remains unclear. This study's hypothesis was that intraoperative hypotension duration throughout the surgery or when separated into hypotension during and outside cardiopulmonary bypass may be associated with postoperative major adverse events. METHODS This retrospective observational cohort study included data for adults who had cardiac surgery between 2008 and 2016 in a tertiary hospital. Intraoperative hypotension was defined as mean arterial pressure of less than 65 mmHg. The total duration of hypotension was divided into three categories based on the fraction of overall hypotension duration that occurred during cardiopulmonary bypass (more than 80%, 80 to 60%, and less than 60%). The primary outcome was a composite of stroke, acute kidney injury, or mortality during the index hospitalization. The association with the composite outcome was evaluated for duration of hypotension during the entire surgery, outside cardiopulmonary bypass, and during cardiopulmonary bypass and the fraction of hypotension during cardiopulmonary bypass adjusting for vasopressor-inotrope dose, milrinone dose, patient, and surgical factors. RESULTS The composite outcome occurred in 256 (5.1%) of 4,984 included patient records; 66 (1.3%) patients suffered stroke, 125 (2.5%) had acute kidney injury, and 109 (2.2%) died. The primary outcome was associated with total duration of hypotension (adjusted odds ratio, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.08; P = 0.032), hypotension outside cardiopulmonary bypass (adjusted odds ratio, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.10; P = 0.001) per 10-min exposure to mean arterial pressure of less than 65 mmHg, and fraction of hypotension duration during cardiopulmonary bypass of less than 60% (reference greater than 80%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.10 to 2.60; P = 0.019) but not with each 10-min period hypotension during cardiopulmonary bypass (adjusted odds ratio, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.99 to 1.09; P = 0.118), fraction of hypotension during cardiopulmonary bypass of 60 to 80% (adjusted odds ratio, 1.45; 95% CI, 0.97 to 2.23; P = 0.082), or total vasopressor-inotrope dose (adjusted odds ratio, 1.00; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.00; P = 0.247). CONCLUSIONS This study confirms previous single-center findings that intraoperative hypotension throughout cardiac surgery is associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury, mortality, or stroke.

Abstract
Objective: Cerebrovascular autoregulation impairment has been associated with stroke risk in cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that greater arterial emboli exposure in open-chamber surgery might promote dysautoreguation. Methods: Forty patients underwent closed or open-chamber surgery. Transcranial Doppler detected emboli and measured bilateral middle cerebral artery flow velocities. Cerebral autoregulation was assessed by averaging the mean velocity index (“Mx,” a continuous moving correlation between cerebral blood flow velocity and mean arterial pressure) over 30 min before and after aortic cross-clamp removal. Results: Median (interquartile range) emboli counts were 775 (415, 1211) and 2664 (793, 3734) in the closed-chamber and open-chamber groups. Most appeared after the removal of the aortic cross-clamp (open-chamber 1631 (606, 2296)), (closed-chamber 229 (142, 384)), with emphasis on the right hemisphere (open-chamber: 826 (371, 1622)), (closed-chamber 181 (66, 276)). Linear mixed model analyses of mean velocity index change showed no significant overall effect of group (0.08, 95% CI: −0.04, 0.21; p = 0.19) or side (0.01, 95% CI: −0.03, 0.05; p = 0.74). There was an interaction between group and side ( p = 0.001), manifesting as a greater increase in mean velocity index in the right hemisphere in the open than the closed group (mean difference: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.27; p = 0.03). Conclusions: Overall, change in mean velocity index before and after cross-clamp removal did not differ between groups. However, most emboli entered the right cerebral hemisphere where this change was significantly greater in the open-chamber group, suggesting a possible association between embolic exposure and dysautoregulation.

Abstract
Study objective Our goal is to review the outcomes of acute hypertensive/hypotensive episodes from articles published in the past 10 years that assessed the short- and long-term impact of acute hypertensive/hypotensive episodes in the perioperative setting. Methods We conducted a systematic peer review based upon PROSPERO and Cochrane Handbook protocols. The following study characteristics were collected: study type, author, year, population, sample size, their definition of acute hypertension, hypotension or other measures, and outcomes (probabilities, odds ratio, hazard ratio, and relative risk) and the p-values; and they were classified according to the type of surgery (cardiac and non-cardiac). Results A total of 3,680 articles were identified, and 66 articles fulfilled the criteria for data extraction. For the perioperative setting, the number of articles varies by outcome: 20 mortality, 16 renal outcomes, 6 stroke, 7 delirium and 34 other outcomes. Hypotension was reported to be associated with mortality (OR 1.02–20.826) as well as changes from the patient’s baseline blood pressure (BP) (OR 1.02–1.36); hypotension also had a role in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) (OR 1.03–14.11). Postsurgical delirium was found in relation with BP lability (OR 1.018–1.038) and intra- and postsurgical hypotension (OR 1.05–1.22), and hypertension (OR 1.44–2.34). Increased OR (37.67) of intracranial hemorrhage was associated to postsurgical systolic BP >130 mmHg. There was a wide range of additional diverse outcomes related to hypo-, hypertension and BP lability. Conclusions The perioperative management of BP influences short- and long-term effects of surgical procedures in cardiac and non-cardiac interventions; these findings support the burden of BP fluctuations in this setting.

Abstract
Background: Nitroglycerin facilitates microcirculation and oxygen delivery through vasodilation. The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of nitroglycerin-induced vasodilation and potential hypotension on tissue perfusion under cerebral oximetry monitoring during rewarming in cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods: Elective cardiac surgical patients were randomly assigned to either a nitroglycerin group (n = 32) with an intravenous infusion of 1–5 mcg/kg/min or a control group (n = 31) with 0–0.1 mcg/kg/min infusion, since the initiation of rewarming. Perioperative arterial blood gas data were collected in addition to hemodynamic variables, cerebral oximetry values, urine output, and postoperative outcomes. Results: Nearly one-fifth (6/32) of patients in the nitroglycerin group experienced transient (≤5 min) profound hypotension (mean arterial blood pressure ≤40 mmHg) after the initiation of infusion. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of perioperative levels of cerebral oximetry, cardiac index, plasma glucose, lactate, bicarbonate, base excess, or post-bypass activated coagulation time. In the nitroglycerin group, urine output was nonsignificantly higher during cardiopulmonary bypass (p = 0.099) and within 8 h after surgery (p = 0.157). Perioperative transfused blood products, postoperative inotropic doses, extubation time, and intensive care unit stay were comparable for the two groups. Conclusions: Initiation of intravenous nitroglycerin infusion (at 1–5 mcg/kg/min) during rewarming in hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass resulted in transient profound hypotension in one-fifth of patients and did not improve perioperative cerebral oxygenation, tissue perfusion, and coagulation in cardiac surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many believe that blood pressure management during cardiac surgery is associated with postoperative outcomes. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the impact of high compared with low intraoperative blood pressure targets on postoperative morbidity and mortality in adults undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Our primary objective was to inform the design of a future large RCT. SOURCE We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, and CENTRAL for RCTs comparing high with low intraoperative blood pressure targets in adult patients undergoing any cardiac surgical procedure on CPB. We screened reference lists, grey literature, and conference proceedings. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We included eight RCTs (N =1,116 participants); all examined the effect of blood pressure management only during the CPB. Trial definitions of high compared with low blood pressure varied and, in some, there was a discrepancy between the target and achieved mean arterial pressure. We observed no difference in delirium, cognitive decline, stroke, acute kidney injury, or mortality between high and low blood pressure targets (very-low to low quality evidence). Higher blood pressure targets may have increased the risk of requiring a blood transfusion (three trials; n = 456 participants; relative risk, 1.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.1 to 1.9; P = 0.01; moderate quality evidence) but this finding was based on a small number of trials. CONCLUSION Individual trial definitions of high and low blood pressure targets varied, limiting inferences. The effect of high (compared with low) blood pressure targets on other morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery remains unclear because of limitations with the body of existing evidence. Research to determine the optimal management of blood pressure during cardiac surgery is required. STUDY REGISTRATION PROSPERO (CRD42020177376); registered: 5 July 2020.

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that excursions of BP below or above the limits of cerebral blood flow autoregulation are associated with complications in patients with neurological injury or for those undergoing cardiac surgery. Moreover, recent evidence suggests that maintaining MAP above the lower limit of cerebral autoregulation during cardiopulmonary bypass reduces the frequency of postoperative delirium and is associated with improved memory 1 month after surgery. Continuous measurement of BP in relation to cerebral autoregulation limits using a virtual patient monitoring platform processing near-infrared spectroscopy digital signals offers the hope of bringing this application to the bedside.

Effects of circulatory arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass on cerebral autoregulation in neonatal swine. Pediatr Res 2022; 91:1374-1382. [PMID: 33947997 PMCID: PMC8566324 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-021-01525-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral autoregulation mechanisms help maintain adequate cerebral blood flow (CBF) despite changes in cerebral perfusion pressure. Impairment of cerebral autoregulation, during and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), may increase risk of neurologic injury in neonates undergoing surgery. In this study, alterations of cerebral autoregulation were assessed in a neonatal swine model probing four perfusion strategies. METHODS Neonatal swine (n = 25) were randomized to continuous deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (DH-CPB, n = 7), deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA, n = 7), selective cerebral perfusion (SCP, n = 7) at deep hypothermia, or normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (control, n = 4). The correlation coefficient (LDx) between laser Doppler measurements of CBF and mean arterial blood pressure was computed at initiation and conclusion of CPB. Alterations in cerebral autoregulation were assessed by the change between initial and final LDx measurements. RESULTS Cerebral autoregulation became more impaired (LDx increased) in piglets that underwent DH-CPB (initial LDx: median 0.15, IQR [0.03, 0.26]; final: 0.45, [0.27, 0.74]; p = 0.02). LDx was not altered in those undergoing DHCA (p > 0.99) or SCP (p = 0.13). These differences were not explained by other risk factors. CONCLUSIONS In a validated swine model of cardiac surgery, DH-CPB had a significant effect on cerebral autoregulation, whereas DHCA and SCP did not. IMPACT Approximately half of the patients who survive neonatal heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) experience neurodevelopmental delays. This preclinical investigation takes steps to elucidate and isolate potential perioperative risk factors of neurologic injury, such as impairment of cerebral autoregulation, associated with cardiac surgical procedures involving CPB. We demonstrate a method to characterize cerebral autoregulation during CPB pump flow changes in a neonatal swine model of cardiac surgery. Cerebral autoregulation was not altered in piglets that underwent deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) or selective cerebral perfusion (SCP), but it was altered in piglets that underwent deep hypothermic CBP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common neurological complication of sepsis. Delirium is a common symtom of SAE. The pathophysiology of SAE is still unclear, but several likely mechanisms have been proposed, such as mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction, neurotransmission disturbances, derangements of calcium homeostasis, cerebral microcirculation dysfunction, and brain hypoperfusion. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive measure for regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), which has attracted more attention these years. Previous studies have reported that abnormal NIRS values were associated with delirium in critically ill patients. Blood pressure management according to NIRS monitoring improved the organ perfusion and prognosis of patients. This study aimed to observe the dynamic changes of rSO2 using NIRS in septic shock patients, and analyze the relationship between them. METHODS A total of 48 septic patients who admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from August 2017 to May 2018, were retrospectively study. Septic shock was diagnosed according to the criteria of sepsis 3.0 defined by the American Association of Critical Care Medicine and the European Society of Critical Care Medicine. NIRS monitoring was performed during the first 6 hours admitted to ICU with sensors placed on the bilateral forehead of patients. The maximum (rSO2max), minimum (rSO2min), mean value, and the variation rate during the first 6 hours of monitor were recorded. The following data were collected upon the first 24 h after admission to the ICU: The baseline data of patients, laboratory examination results (routine blood test, liver and renal function, blood gas analysis, indicators of infection, and coagulation function), scoring system results [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)]. Delirium was screened with the Confusion Assessment Method for ICU (CAM-ICU). The length of time on mechanical ventilation (MV), length of ICU-stay, length of hospital-stay, and 28-day mortality were also recorded. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality, and the secondary outcomes were the incidence of delirium, length of ICU-stay, and length of hospital-stay. The differences between survivors and non-survivors, and patients with or without delirium were analyzed, and the risk factors for delirium were assessed. The performance of rSO2-related indexes (rSO2max, rSO2min, the mean value, and the variation rate of rSO2) in predicting 28-day mortality and delirium was analyzed and the cutoff values were determined. RESULTS The overall 28-day mortality of septic shock patients was 47.92% (23/48), and the incidence of delirium was 18.75% (9/48). The rSO2min was significantly lower in the non-survivors than the survivors (P=0.042). The variation rate of rSO2 was higher in patients with delirium than those without delirium (P=0.006). The independent risk factors for delirium were rSO2max, the level of direct bilirubin (DBIL), and whether achieved the 6-hour bundle. To predict the 28-day mortality of septic shock patients, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for rSO2max, rSO2min, the mean value and the variation rate of rSO2 were 0.616, 0.606, 0.623, and 0.504, respectively. To predict the incidence of delirium, AUROC for rSO2max, rSO2min, the mean value and the variation rate of rSO2 were 0.682, 0.617, 0.580, and 0.501, respectively. The best cutoff value for rSO2max in predicting delirium was 77.5% (sensitivity was 0.444, specificity was 0.897). The best cutoff value for rSO2min in predicting delirium was 65.5% (sensitivity was 0.556, specificity was 0.744). CONCLUSIONS Cerebral anoxia and hyperoxia, as well as the large fluctuation of cerebral oxygen saturation are important factors that affect the outcomes and the incidence of delirium in septic shock patients, which should be paid attention to in clinical practice. Dynamic monitoring of cerebral oxygen saturation and maintain its stability may be of great significance in patients with septic shock.

Abstract
RATIONALE Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) is a rare autonomic disorder with altered regulation of breathing, heart rate (HR), and blood pressure (BP). Aberrant cerebral oxygenation in response to hypercapnia/hypoxia in CCHS raises concern that altered cerebral autoregulation may contribute to CCHS-related, variably impaired neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVES Evaluate cerebral autoregulation in response to orthostatic challenge in CCHS cases vs. controls. METHODS CCHS and age- and sex-matched control subjects were studied with head-up tilt (HUT) testing to induce orthostatic stress. 50 CCHS and 100 control HUT recordings were included. HR, BP, and cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) were continuously monitored. Cerebral oximetry index (COx), a real-time measure of cerebral autoregulation based on these measures, was calculated. MAIN RESULTS HUT resulted in greater mean BP decrease from baseline in CCHS vs. controls (11% vs. 6%; p<0.05) and a diminished increase in HR in CCHS vs. controls (11% vs. 18%; p<0.01) in the 5 minutes after tilt-up. Despite a similar COx at baseline, orthostatic provocation within 5 minutes of tilt-up caused a 50% greater increase in COx (p<0.01) and a 29% increase in minutes of impaired autoregulation (p<0.02) in CCHS vs. controls (4.0 vs. 3.1 min). CONCLUSIONS Cerebral autoregulatory mechanisms appear intact in CCHS, but the greater hypotension observed in CCHS consequent to orthostatic provocation is associated with greater values of COx/impaired autoregulation when BP is below lower limits of autoregulation. Effects of repeated orthostatic challenges in everyday living in CCHS necessitate further study to determine their influence on neurodevelopmental disease burden.

Deviations from NIRS-derived optimal blood pressure are associated with worse outcomes after pediatric cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2021; 168:110-118. [PMID: 34600027 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.09.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
AIM Evaluate cerebrovascular autoregulation (CAR) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) after pediatric cardiac arrest and determine if deviations from CAR-derived optimal mean arterial pressure (MAPopt) are associated with outcomes. METHODS CAR was quantified by a moving, linear correlation between time-synchronized mean arterial pressure (MAP) and regional cerebral oxygenation, called cerebral oximetry index (COx). MAPopt was calculated using a multi-window weighted algorithm. We calculated burden (magnitude and duration) of MAP less than 5 mmHg below MAPopt (MAPopt - 5), as the area between MAP and MAPopt - 5 curves using numerical integration and normalized as percentage of monitoring duration. Unfavorable outcome was defined as death or pediatric cerebral performance category (PCPC) at hospital discharge ≥3 with ≥1 change from baseline. Univariate logistic regression tested association between burden of MAP less than MAPopt - 5 and outcome. RESULTS Thirty-four children (median age 2.9 [IQR 1.5,13.4] years) were evaluated. Median COx in the first 24 h post-cardiac arrest was 0.06 [0,0.20]; patients spent 27% [19,43] of monitored time with COx ≥ 0.3. Patients with an unfavorable outcome (n = 24) had a greater difference between MAP and MAPopt - 5 (13 [11,19] vs. 9 [8,10] mmHg, p = 0.01) and spent more time with MAP below MAPopt - 5 (38% [26,61] vs. 24% [14,28], p = 0.03). Patients with unfavorable outcome had a higher burden of MAP less than MAPopt - 5 than patients with favorable outcome in the first 24 h post-arrest (187 [107,316] vs. 62 [43,102] mmHg × Min/Hr; OR 4.93 [95% CI 1.16-51.78]). CONCLUSIONS Greater burden of MAP below NIRS-derived MAPopt - 5 during the first 24 h after cardiac arrest was associated with unfavorable outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral autoregulation (CA) impairment is associated with neurological complications among children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Severe variations of arterial CO2 (PaCO2) and O2 (PaO2) tension after ECMO onset are common and associate with mortality and poor neurological outcome. The impact of gas exchange on CA among critically ill patients is poorly studied. METHODS Retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively from 30 children treated with veno-arterial or veno-venous ECMO in the PICU of Nantes University Hospital, France. A correlation coefficient between the variations of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and the variations of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was calculated as an index of CA (cerebral oxygenation reactivity index, COx). Cox-MAP plots were investigated allowing determining lower limit of autoregulation (LLA) and upper limit of autoregulation (ULA) limits of autoregulation. Age-based normal blood pressure was used to adjust the MAP, LLA, and ULA data from each patient and then reported as percentage (nMAP, nLLA, and nULA, respectively). RSO2, COx, nMAP, nLLA, and nULA values were averaged over one hour before each arterial blood gas (ABG) sample during ECMO run. RESULTS Thirty children (median age 4.8 months [Interquartile range (IQR) 0.7-39.1], median weight 5 kg [IQR 4-15]) experiencing 31 ECMO runs were included in the study. Three hundred and ninety ABGs were analyzed. The highest values of COx were observed on day 1 (D1) of ECMO. The relationship between COx and PaCO2 was nonlinear, but COx values tended to be lower in case of hypercapnia compared to normocapnia. During the whole ECMO run, a weak but significant correlation between PaCO2 and nULA was observed (R = 0.432, p = 0.02). On D1 of ECMO, this correlation was stronger (R = 0.85, p = 0.03) and a positive correlation between nLLA and PaCO2 was also found (R = 0.726, p < 0.001). A very weak negative correlation between PaO2 and nULA was observed within the whole ECMO run and on D1 of ECMO (R = -0.07 p = 0.04 and R = -0.135 p = <0.001, respectively). The difference between nULA and nLLA representing the span of the autoregulation plateau was positively correlated with PaCO2 and negatively correlated with PaO2 (R = 0.224, p = 0.01 and R = -0.051, p = 0.004, respectively). CONCLUSIONS We observed a complex relationship between PaCO2 and CA, influenced by the level of blood pressure. Hypercapnia seems to be globally protective in normotensive or hypertensive condition, while, in case of very low MAP, hypercapnia may disturb CA as it increases LLA. These data add additional arguments for very cautiously lower PaCO2, especially after ECMO start.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a standard technique for cardiac surgery, but comes with the risk of severe neurological complications (e.g. stroke) caused by embolisms and/or reduced cerebral perfusion. We report on an aortic cannula prototype design (optiCAN) with helical outflow and jet-splitting dispersion tip that could reduce the risk of embolic events and restores cerebral perfusion to 97.5% of physiological flow during CPB in vivo, whereas a commercial curved-tip cannula yields 74.6%. In further in vitro comparison, pressure loss and hemolysis parameters of optiCAN remain unaffected. Results are reproducibly confirmed in silico for an exemplary human aortic anatomy via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Based on CFD simulations, we firstly show that optiCAN design improves aortic root washout, which reduces the risk of thromboembolism. Secondly, we identify regions of the aortic intima with increased risk of plaque release by correlating areas of enhanced plaque growth and high wall shear stresses (WSS). From this we propose another easy-to-manufacture cannula design (opti2CAN) that decreases areas burdened by high WSS, while preserving physiological cerebral flow and favorable hemodynamics. With this novel cannula design, we propose a cannulation option to reduce neurological complications and the prevalence of stroke in high-risk patients after CPB.

Heterogeneous impact of hypotension on organ perfusion and outcomes: a narrative review. Br J Anaesth 2021; 127:845-861.

Abstract
Arterial blood pressure is the driving force for organ perfusion. Although hypotension is common in acute care, there is a lack of accepted criteria for its definition. Most practitioners regard hypotension as undesirable even in situations that pose no immediate threat to life, but hypotension does not always lead to unfavourable outcomes based on experience and evidence. Thus efforts are needed to better understand the causes, consequences, and treatments of hypotension. This narrative review focuses on the heterogeneous underlying pathophysiological bases of hypotension and their impact on organ perfusion and patient outcomes. We propose the iso-pressure curve with hypotension and hypertension zones as a way to visualize changes in blood pressure. We also propose a haemodynamic pyramid and a pressure-output-resistance triangle to facilitate understanding of why hypotension can have different pathophysiological mechanisms and end-organ effects. We emphasise that hypotension does not always lead to organ hypoperfusion; to the contrary, hypotension may preserve or even increase organ perfusion depending on the relative changes in perfusion pressure and regional vascular resistance and the status of blood pressure autoregulation. Evidence from RCTs does not support the notion that a higher arterial blood pressure target always leads to improved outcomes. Management of blood pressure is not about maintaining a prespecified value, but rather involves ensuring organ perfusion without undue stress on the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Neurocognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery can present with diverse clinical phenotypes, which include postoperative delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and stroke, and it presents a significant healthcare burden for both patients and providers. Neurologic monitoring during cardiac surgery includes several modalities assessing cerebral perfusion and oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy, transcranial Doppler and jugular venous bulb saturation monitoring) and those that measure cerebral function (processed and unprocessed electroencephalogram), reflecting an absence of a single, definitive neuromonitor. This narrative review briefly describes the technologic basis of these neuromonitoring modalities, before exploring their use in clinical practice, both as tools to predict neurocognitive dysfunction, and with a bundle of interventions designed to optimize cerebral oxygen supply, with the aim of reducing postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction following cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Perioperative stroke is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Stroke recognition and diagnosis are challenging perioperatively, and surgical patients receive therapeutic interventions less frequently compared with stroke patients in the outpatient setting. These updated guidelines from the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care provide evidence-based recommendations regarding perioperative care of patients at high risk for stroke. Recommended areas for future investigation are also proposed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Monitoring cerebral autoregulation may help identify the lower limit of autoregulation in individual patients. Mean arterial blood pressure below lower limit of autoregulation appears to be a risk factor for postoperative acute kidney injury. Cerebral autoregulation can be monitored in real time using correlation approaches. However, the precise thresholds for different cerebral autoregulation indexes that identify the lower limit of autoregulation are unknown. We identified thresholds for intact autoregulation in patients during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery and examined the relevance of these thresholds to postoperative acute kidney injury. DESIGN A single-center retrospective analysis. SETTING Tertiary academic medical center. PATIENTS Data from 59 patients was used to determine precise cerebral autoregulation thresholds for identification of the lower limit of autoregulation. These thresholds were validated in a larger cohort of 226 patients. METHODS AND MAIN RESULTS Invasive mean arterial blood pressure, cerebral blood flow velocities, regional cortical oxygen saturation, and total hemoglobin were recorded simultaneously. Three cerebral autoregulation indices were calculated, including mean flow index, cerebral oximetry index, and hemoglobin volume index. Cerebral autoregulation curves for the three indices were plotted, and thresholds for each index were used to generate threshold- and index-specific lower limit of autoregulations. A reference lower limit of autoregulation could be identified in 59 patients by plotting cerebral blood flow velocity against mean arterial blood pressure to generate gold-standard Lassen curves. The lower limit of autoregulations defined at each threshold were compared with the gold-standard lower limit of autoregulation determined from Lassen curves. The results identified the following thresholds: mean flow index (0.45), cerebral oximetry index (0.35), and hemoglobin volume index (0.3). We then calculated the product of magnitude and duration of mean arterial blood pressure less than lower limit of autoregulation in a larger cohort of 226 patients. When using the lower limit of autoregulations identified by the optimal thresholds above, mean arterial blood pressure less than lower limit of autoregulation was greater in patients with acute kidney injury than in those without acute kidney injury. CONCLUSIONS This study identified thresholds of intact and impaired cerebral autoregulation for three indices and showed that mean arterial blood pressure below lower limit of autoregulation is a risk factor for acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery.

Cerebral autoregulation in the operating room and intensive care unit after cardiac surgery. Br J Anaesth 2021; 126:967-974.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral autoregulation monitoring is a proposed method to monitor perfusion during cardiac surgery. However, limited data exist from the ICU as prior studies have focused on intraoperative measurements. Our objective was to characterise cerebral autoregulation during surgery and early ICU care, and as a secondary analysis to explore associations with delirium. METHODS In patients undergoing cardiac surgery (n=134), cerebral oximetry values and arterial BP were monitored and recorded until the morning after surgery. A moving Pearson's correlation coefficient between mean arterial proessure (MAP) and near-infrared spectroscopy signals generated the cerebral oximetry index (COx). Three metrics were derived: (1) globally impaired autoregulation, (2) MAP time and duration outside limits of autoregulation (MAP dose), and (3) average COx. Delirium was assessed using the 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for CAM-defined Delirium (3D-CAM) and the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU). Autoregulation metrics were compared using χ2 and rank-sum tests, and associations with delirium were estimated using regression models, adjusted for age, bypass time, and logEuroSCORE. RESULTS The prevalence of globally impaired autoregulation was higher in the operating room vs ICU (40% vs 13%, P<0.001). The MAP dose outside limits of autoregulation was similar in the operating room and ICU (median 16.9 mm Hg×h; inter-quartile range [IQR] 10.1-38.8 vs 16.9 mm Hg×h; IQR 5.4-35.1, P=0.20). In exploratory adjusted analyses, globally impaired autoregulation in the ICU, but not the operating room, was associated with delirium. The MAP dose outside limits of autoregulation in the operating room and ICU was also associated with delirium. CONCLUSIONS Metrics of cerebral autoregulation are altered in the ICU, and may be clinically relevant with respect to delirium. Further studies are needed to investigate these findings and determine possible benefits of autoregulation-based MAP targeting in the ICU.

Abstract
Performance measurement variables can be applied in clinical practice to evaluate hemodynamic instability. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the performance measurement of mean arterial pressure during cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative mortality. A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass between 2013 and 2016 was conducted. The median performance error (MDPE) and median absolute performance error (MDAPE) were calculated using the preoperative mean arterial pressure as a reference, and intraoperative mean arterial pressures as measured values. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed using performance measurement variables to predict 30-day mortality. Overall survival according to performance measurement variables was evaluated using Cox proportional hazard models and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated to compare survival probability. Among 1203 patients, 110 (9.1%) died after surgery, and the 30-day mortality rate was 2.3% (28/1203). After adjusting for confounders, MDPE and MDAPE were significant mean arterial pressure derived predictors of 30-day mortality and overall survival. Intraoperative hypotension measured by performance measurement variables was independently associated with 30-day and overall mortality after cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed lower survival probability in patients with higher MDAPE during the pre- and post- cardiopulmonary bypass periods (P < 0.001 by log-rank test). Intraoperative hypotension measured by performance measurement variables was independently associated with 30-day and overall mortality after cardiac surgery requiring CPB. We propose that performance measurement variables are useful for quantifying the degree of intraoperative hypotension and predicting survival following cardiac surgery.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT03785132.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As neonates transition from a relatively hypoxic environment to extra-uterine life, arterial oxygen saturation dramatically increases. This transition occurs while most organs have not fully matured. The ability for immature tissue to adequately extract and utilize oxygen remains largely unknown. With the development of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), measuring specific tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) noninvasively, clinicians can measure StO2 and determine if adequate tissue oxygenation is maintained. The objective of this study is to determine the relationships of NIRS brain and somatic autoregulation function to patients' severity of illness. METHODS In this prospective cohort pilot study, after parental consent, neonates less than 34 weeks with arterial access, were enrolled. The FORE-SIGHT NIRS probe was placed on the forehead and abdominal wall for 24 hours. Continuous arterial blood pressure, SpO2 and cerebral and somatic NIRS were used to derive autoregulation function. RESULTS Data was obtained from 17 neonates (0.540 to 2.37 kg, gestation 23.0 to 33.2 weeks). The autoregulation function categorizes pressure passive index (PPI) values as good, borderline, or poor. For normal autoregulation function, PPI values tend to be low and fairly constant for a range of MAP. The PPI borderline zone is a hypothetical range of PPI values where autoregulation function transitions from good to poor. CONCLUSION Our results show most premature neonates, as long as they maintained normal BP and systemic circulation can autoregulate cerebral perfusion. When BP are above or below the normal MAP for age, the neonate is at risk for losing brain and somatic autoregulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between low oxygen delivery (DO2) on cardiopulmonary bypass and morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery remains unexamined. METHODS We reviewed patients undergoing Society of Thoracic Surgeons index procedures from March 2019 to July 2020, coincident with implementation of a new electronic perfusion record that provides for continuous recording of DO2 and flow parameters. Continuous perfusion variables were analyzed using area-over-the-curve (AOC) calculations below predefined thresholds (DO2 <280 mL O2/min/m2, cardiac index <2.2 L/min, hemoglobin < baseline, and mean arterial pressure <65 mm Hg) to quantify depth and duration of potentially harmful exposures. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted by Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted-risk scores were used to assess for relationship of perfusion variables with the primary composite outcome of any Society of Thoracic Surgeons index procedure, as well as individual Society of Thoracic Surgeons secondary outcomes (eg, mortality, renal failure, prolonged ventilation >24 hours, stroke, sternal wound infection, and reoperation). RESULTS Eight hundred thirty-four patients were included; 42.7% (356) underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), whereas 57.3% underwent nonisolated CABG (eg, valvular or combined CABG/valvular operations). DO2 <280-AOC trended toward association with the primary outcome across all cases (P = .07), and was significantly associated for all nonisolated CABG cases (P = .02)-more strongly than for cardiac index <2.2-AOC (P = .04), hemoglobin <7-AOC (P = .51), or mean arterial pressure <65-AOC (P = .11). Considering all procedures, DO2 <280-AOC was independently associated prolonged ventilation >24 hours (P = .04), an effect again most pronounced in nonisolated-CABG cases (P = .002), as well as acute kidney injury <72 hours (P = .04). Patients with glomerular filtration rate <65 mL/min and baseline hemoglobin <12.5 g/dL appeared especially vulnerable. CONCLUSIONS Low DO2 on bypass may be associated with morbidity/mortality following cardiac surgery, particularly in patients undergoing nonisolated CABG. These results underscore the importance of goal-directed perfusion strategies.

Abstract
Hemodynamic management based on cerebral autoregulation range is a possible strategy for preserving major organ perfusion during cardiovascular surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation of vascular properties with lower limit of cerebral autoregulation (LLA). LLA was monitored in 66 patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery using near-infrared spectroscopy. To determine the clinical importance of LLA monitoring, association of blood pressure excursions below LLA and acute kidney injury (AKI) was evaluated. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured for the evaluation of endothelial function and aortic stiffness. Variables associated with LLA were evaluated. Excluding patients on hemodialysis, there were 15 patients (25.9%) who developed AKI. Blood pressure excursions below LLA were higher in patients who developed AKI (4.55 mm Hg × hr vs. 1.23 mm Hg × hr, P = .017). In the univariate analysis, prevalence of ischemic heart disease (No IHD: 53 ± 13.0 mm Hg vs. IHD: 60.0 ± 13.6 mm Hg, P = .056) and FMD (r = -0.42, 95% CI -0.61 to -0.19, P < .001) were associated with LLA before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). During CPB, calcium channel blocker (No Ca blocker: 42 ± 10.6 mm Hg vs. Ca blocker: 49 ± 14.3 mm Hg, P = .033), diabetes (no DM: 44 ± 13.2 mm Hg vs. DM: 55 ± 10.0 mm Hg, P = .024), FMD (r = -0.32, 95% CI -0.55 to -0.05, P = .021), and PWV (r = 0.28, 95% CI 0.012 to 0.513, P = .041) were associated with LLA. Multivariate analysis showed that FMD was correlated with LLA before CPB (r = -2.19, 95% CI -3.621 to -0.755, P = .003), while PWV was correlated with LLA during CPB (r = 0.01, 95% CI 0.001-0.019, P = .023). Endothelial function and aortic stiffness may be important factors in determining LLA at different phases in cardiovascular surgery.

Abstract
AIMS Evaluate cerebral autoregulation (CAR) by intracranial pressure reactivity index (PRx) and cerebral blood flow reactivity index (CBFx) during the first four hours following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in a porcine model of pediatric cardiac arrest. Determine whether impaired CAR is associated with neurologic outcome. METHODS Four-week-old swine underwent seven minutes of asphyxia followed by ventricular fibrillation induction and hemodynamic-directed CPR. Those achieving ROSC had arterial blood pressure, intracranial pressure (ICP), and microvascular cerebral blood flow (CBF) monitored for 4 h. Animals were assigned an 8 -h post-ROSC swine cerebral performance category score (1 = normal; 2-4=abnormal neurologic function). In this secondary analytic study, we calculated PRx and CBFx using a continuous, moving correlation coefficient between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and ICP, and between MAP and CBF, respectively. Burden of impaired CAR was the area under the PRx or CBFx curve using a threshold of 0.3 and normalized as percentage of monitoring duration. RESULTS Among 23 animals, median PRx was 0.14 [0.06,0.25] and CBFx was 0.36 [0.05,0.44]. Median burden of impaired CAR was 21% [18,27] with PRx and 30% [17,40] with CBFx. Neurologically abnormal animals (n = 10) did not differ from normal animals (n = 13) in post-ROSC MAP (63 vs. 61 mmHg, p = 0.74), ICP (15 vs. 14 mmHg, p = 0.78) or CBF (274 vs. 397 Perfusion Units, p = 0.12). CBFx burden was greater among abnormal than normal animals (45% vs. 24%, p = 0.001), but PRx burden was not (25% vs. 20%, p = 0.38). CONCLUSION CAR is impaired early after ROSC. A greater burden of CAR impairment measured by CBFx was associated with abnormal neurologic outcome.CHOP Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee protocol 19-001327.

Abstract
Despite advances in cardiac surgery and anesthesia, the rates of brain injury remain high in aortic arch surgery requiring circulatory arrest. The mechanisms of brain injury, including permanent and temporary neurologic dysfunction, are multifactorial, but intraoperative brain ischemia is likely a major contributor. Maintaining optimal cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest is the key component of intraoperative management for aortic arch surgery. Various brain monitoring modalities provide different information to improve cerebral protection. Electroencephalography gives crucial data to ensure minimal cerebral metabolism during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, transcranial Doppler directly measures cerebral arterial blood flow, and near-infrared spectroscopy monitors regional cerebral oxygen saturation. Various brain protection techniques, including hypothermia, cerebral perfusion, pharmacologic protection, and blood gas management, have been used during interruption of systemic circulation, but the optimal strategy remains elusive. Although deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion have their merits, there have been increasing reports about the use of antegrade cerebral perfusion, obviating the need for deep hypothermia. With controversy and variability of surgical practices, moderate hypothermia, when combined with unilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion, is considered safe for brain protection in aortic arch surgery performed with circulatory arrest. The neurologic outcomes of brain protection in aortic arch surgery largely depend on the following three major components: cerebral temperature, circulatory arrest time, and cerebral perfusion during circulatory arrest. The optimal brain protection strategy should be individualized based on comprehensive monitoring and stems from well-executed techniques that balance the major components contributing to brain injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is maintained over a range of blood pressures through cerebral autoregulation (CA). Blood pressure outside the range of CA, or impaired autoregulation, is associated with adverse patient outcomes. Regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) derived from near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used as a surrogate CBF for determining CA, but existing methods require a long period of time to calculate CA metrics. We have developed a novel method to determine CA using cotrending of mean arterial pressure (MAP) with rSO2that aims to provide an indication of CA state within 1 minute. We sought to determine the performance of the cotrending method by comparing its CA metrics to data derived from transcranial Doppler (TCD) methods. METHODS Retrospective data collected from 69 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were used to develop a reference lower limit of CA. TCD-MAP data were plotted to determine the reference lower limit of CA. The investigated method to evaluate CA state is based on the assessment of the instantaneous cotrending relationship between MAP and rSO2 signals. The lower limit of autoregulation (LLA) from the cotrending method was compared to the manual reference derived from TCD. Reliability of the cotrending method was assessed as uptime (defined as the percentage of time that the state of autoregulation could be measured) and time to first post. RESULTS The proposed method demonstrated minimal mean bias (0.22 mmHg) when compared to the TCD reference. The corresponding limits of agreement were found to be 10.79 mmHg (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.09-11.49) and -10.35 mmHg (95% CI, -9.65 to -11.05). Mean uptime was 99.40% (95% CI, 99.34-99.46) and the mean time to first post was 63 seconds (95% CI, 58-71). CONCLUSIONS The reported cotrending method rapidly provides metrics associated with CA state for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. A major strength of the proposed method is its near real-time feedback on patient CA state, thus allowing for prompt corrective action to be taken by the clinician.

Continuous Monitoring of Cerebral Autoregulation in Children Supported by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Pilot Study. Neurocrit Care 2020; 34:935-945. [PMID: 33029743 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-020-01111-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cerebral autoregulation (CA) impairment may pose a risk factor for neurological complications among children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Our first objective was to investigate the feasibility of CA continuous monitoring during ECMO treatment and to describe its evolution over time. The second objective was to analyze the association between CA impairment and neurological outcome. DESIGN Observational prospective study. PATIENTS AND SETTING Twenty-nine children treated with veno-arterial or veno-venous ECMO in the PICU of Nantes University Hospital, France, and the PICU of the IRCCS Giannina Gaslini Institute in Genoa, Italy. MEASUREMENTS A correlation coefficient between the variations of regional cerebral oxygen saturation and the variations of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was calculated as an index of CA (cerebral oxygenation reactivity index, COx). A COx > 0.3 was considered as indicative of autoregulation impairment. COx-MAP plots were investigated allowing determining optimal MAP (MAPopt) and limits of autoregulation: lower (LLA) and upper (ULA). Neurological outcome was assessed by the onset of an acute neurological event (ANE) after ECMO start. RESULTS We included 29 children (median age 84 days, weight 4.8 kg). MAPopt, LLA, and ULA were detected in 90.8% (84.3-93.3) of monitoring time. Mean COx was significantly higher during day 1 of ECMO compared to day 2 [0.1 (0.02-0.15) vs. 0.01 (- 0.05 to 0.1), p = 0.002]. Twelve children experienced ANE (34.5%). The mean COx and the percentage of time spent with a COx > 0.3 were significantly higher among ANE+ compared to ANE- patients [0.09 (0.01-0.23) vs. 0.04 (- 0.02 to 0.06), p = 0.04 and 33.3% (24.8-62.1) vs. 20.8% (17.3-23.7) p = 0.001]. ANE+ patients spent significantly more time with MAP below LLA [17.2% (6.5-32.9) vs. 5.6% (3.6-9.9), p = 0.02] and above ULA [13% (5.3-38.4) vs. 4.2% (2.7-7.4), p = 0.004], respectively. CONCLUSION CA assessment is feasible in pediatric ECMO. The first 24 h following ECMO represents the most critical period regarding CA. Impaired autoregulation is significantly more severe among patients who experience ANE.
