Abstract
Validation of a real-time monitoring device to evaluate the risk or occurrence of neurologic injury while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may aid clinicians in prevention and treatment. Therefore, we performed a pilot prospective cohort study of children under 18 years old on ECMO to analyze the association between cerebral blood pressure autoregulation as measured by diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) and radiographic neurologic injury. DCS measurements of regional cerebral blood flow were collected on enrolled patients and correlated with mean arterial blood pressure to determine the cerebral autoregulation metric termed DCSx. The primary outcome of interest was radiographic neurologic injury on eligible computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scored by a blinded pediatric neuroradiologist utilizing a previously validated scale. Higher DCSx scores, which indicate disruption of cerebral autoregulation, were associated with higher radiographic neurologic injury score (slope, 11.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29-22). Patients with clinically significant neurologic injury scores of 10 or more had higher median DCSx measures than patients with lower neurologic injury scores (0.48 vs . 0.13; p = 0.01). Our study indicates that obtaining noninvasive DCS measures for children on ECMO is feasible and disruption of cerebral autoregulation determined from DCS is associated with higher radiographic neurologic injury score.

Impact of cardiopulmonary bypass on cerebrovascular autoregulation assessed by ultrafast ultrasound imaging. J Physiol 2023; 601:1077-1093.

Abstract
Newborns with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk of neurodevelopmental impairment with limited understanding of the impact of intra-operative cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), deep hypothermia and selective cerebral perfusion on the brain. We hypothesized that a novel ultrasound technique, ultrafast power Doppler (UPD), can assess variations of cerebral blood volume (CBV) in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery requiring CPB. UPD was performed before, during and after surgery in newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing a Norwood operation. We found that global CBV was not significantly different between patients and controls (P = 0.98) and between pre- and post-surgery (P = 0.62). UPD was able to monitor changes in CBV throughout surgery, revealing regional differences in CBV during hypothermia during which CBV correlated with CPB flow rate (R2 = 0.52, P = 0.021). Brain injury on post-operative magnetic resonance imaging was observed in patients with higher maximum variation in CBV. Our findings suggest that UPD can quantify global and regional brain perfusion variation during neonatal cardiac surgery with this first intra-operative application demonstrating an association between CBV and CPB flow rate, suggesting loss of autoregulation. Therefore, the measurement of CBV by UPD could enable optimization of cerebral perfusion during cardiac surgery in neonates. KEY POINTS: The impact of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the neonatal brain undergoing cardiac surgery is poorly understood. Ultrafast power Doppler (UPD) quantifies cerebral blood volume (CBV), a surrogate of brain perfusion. CBV varies throughout CPB surgery and is associated with variation of the bypass pump flow rate during deep hypothermia. Association between CBV and bypass pump flow rate suggests loss of cerebrovascular autoregulatory processes. Quantitative monitoring of cerebral perfusion by UPD could provide a direct parameter to optimize CPB flow rate.

Identifying the optimal blood pressure for cerebral autoregulation in infants after cardiac surgery by monitoring cerebrovascular reactivity-A pilot study. Paediatr Anaesth 2022; 32:1320-1329.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in the treatment of pediatric congenital heart disease have increased survival rates. Despite efforts to prevent neurological injury, many patients suffer from impaired neurodevelopmental outcomes. Compromised cerebral autoregulation can increase the risk of brain injury following pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Monitoring autoregulation and maintaining adequate cerebral blood flow can help prevent neurological injury. AIMS Our objective was to evaluate autoregulation parameters and to define the optimal blood pressure as well as the lower and upper blood pressure limits of autoregulation. METHODS Autoregulation was monitored prospectively in 36 infants after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery for congenital heart defects between January and December 2019. Autoregulation indices were calculated by correlating invasive arterial blood pressure, cortical oxygen saturation, and relative tissue hemoglobin levels with near-infrared spectroscopy parameters. RESULTS The mean patient age was 4.1 ± 2.8 months, and the mean patient weight was 5.2 ± 1.8 kg. Optimal mean arterial pressure could be identified in 88.9% of patients via the hemoglobin volume index and in 91.7% of patients via the cerebral oxygenation index, and a lower limit of autoregulation could be found in 66.7% and 63.9% of patients, respectively. No significant changes in autoregulation indices at the beginning or end of the monitoring period were observed. In 76.5% ± 11.1% and 83.8% ± 9.9% of the 8 and 16 h monitoring times, respectively, the mean blood pressure was inside the range of intact autoregulation (below in 21.5% ± 25.4% and 11.3% ± 16.5% and above in 8.7% ± 10.4% and 6.0% ± 11.0%, respectively). The mean optimal blood pressure was 57.4 ± 8.7 mmHg and 58.2 ± 7.9 mmHg and the mean lower limit of autoregulation was 48.8 ± 8.3 mmHg and 45.5 ± 6.7 mmHg when generated via the hemoglobin volume index and cerebral oxygenation index, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative noninvasive autoregulation monitoring after cardiac surgery in children can be reliably and safely performed using the hemoglobin volume index and cerebral oxygenation index and provides robust data. This monitoring can be used to identify individual hemodynamic targets to optimize autoregulation, which differs from those recommended in the literature. Further evaluation of this subject is needed.

NMR IN BIOMEDICINE 2022; 35:e4752.

Abstract
Here, we report on the development and performance of a robust 3-T single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H MRS) experimental protocol and data analysis pipeline for quantifying brain metabolism during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery in a neonatal porcine model, with the overall goal of elucidating primary mechanisms of brain injury associated with these procedures. The specific aims were to assess which metabolic processes can be reliably interrogated by 1 H MRS on a 3-T clinical scanner and to provide an initial assessment of brain metabolism during deep hypothermia cardiac arrest (DHCA) surgery and recovery. Fourteen neonatal pigs underwent CPB surgery while placed in a 3-T MRI scanner for 18, 28, and 37°C DHCA studies under hyperglycemic, euglycemic, and hypoglycemic conditions. Total imaging times, including baseline measurements, circulatory arrest (CA), and recovery averaged 3 h/animal, during which 30-40 single-voxel 1 H MRS spectra (sLASER pulse sequence, TR/TE = 2000/30 ms, 64 or 128 averages) were acquired from a 2.2-cc right midbrain voxel. 1 H MRS at 3 T was able to reliably quantify (1) anaerobic metabolism via depletion of brain glucose and the associated build-up of lactate during CA, (2) phosphocreatine (PCr) to creatine (Cr) conversion during CA and subsequent recovery upon reperfusion, (3) a robust increase in the glutamine-to-glutamate (Gln/Glu) ratio during the post-CA recovery period, and (4) a broadening of the water peak during CA. In vivo 1 H MRS at 3 T can reliably quantify subtle metabolic brain changes previously deemed challenging to interrogate, including brain glucose concentrations even under hypoglycemic conditions, ATP usage via the conversion of PCr to Cr, and differential changes in Glu and Gln. Observed metabolic changes during CPB surgery of a neonatal porcine model provide new insights into possible mechanisms for prevention of neuronal injury.
