Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiac arrest in the operating room is a rare but potentially life-threatening event with mortality rates of more than 50%. Contributing factors are often known, and the event is recognised rapidly as patients are usually under full monitoring. This guideline covers the perioperative period and is complementary to the European Resuscitation Council guidelines. MATERIAL AND METHODS The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care and the European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery jointly nominated a panel of experts to develop guidelines for the recognition, treatment, and prevention of cardiac arrest in the perioperative period. A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. All searches were restricted to publications from 1980 to 2019 inclusive and to the English, French, Italian and Spanish languages. The authors also contributed individual, independent literature searches. RESULTS This guideline contains background information and recommendation for the treatment of cardiac arrest in the operating room environment, and addresses controversial topics such as open chest cardiac massage, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion and resuscitative thoracotomy, pericardiocentesis, needle decompression, and thoracostomy. CONCLUSIONS Successful prevention and management of cardiac arrest during anaesthesia and surgery requires anticipation, early recognition, and a clear treatment plan. The ready availability of expert staff and equipment must also be taken into consideration. Success not only depends on medical knowledge, technical skills and a well-organised team using crew resource management, but also on an institutional safety culture embedded in everyday practice through continuous education, training, and multidisciplinary co-operation.

Abstract
Cardiac injuries are rare but potentially life-threatening, with a significant proportion of victims dying before arrival at the hospital. The in-hospital mortality among patients who arrive in-hospital alive also remains significantly high, despite major advancements in trauma care including the continuous updating of the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program. Stab and gunshot wounds due to assault or self-inflicted injuries are the common causes of penetrating cardiac injuries, while motor vehicular accidents and fall from height are attributable causes of blunt cardiac injury. Rapid transport of victim to trauma care facility, prompt recognition of cardiac trauma by clinical evaluation and focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) examination, quick decision-making to perform emergency department thoracotomy, and/or shifting the patient expeditiously to the operating room for operative intervention with ongoing resuscitation are the key components for a successful outcome in cardiac injury victims with cardiac tamponade or exsanguinating hemorrhage. Blunt cardiac injury with arrhythmias, myocardial dysfunction, or cardiac failure may need continuous cardiac monitoring or anesthetic care for operative procedure of other associated injuries. This mandates a multidisciplinary approach working in concert with agreed local protocols and shared goals. An anesthesiologist has a pivotal role to play as a team leader or member in the trauma pathway of severely injured patients. They are not only involved in in-hospital care as a perioperative physician but also participate in the organizational aspects of prehospital trauma systems and training of prehospital care providers/paramedics. There is sparse literature available on the anesthetic management of cardiac injury (penetrating as well as blunt) patients. This narrative review discusses the comprehensive management of cardiac injury patients, focusing on the anesthetic concerns and is guided by our experience in managing cardiac injury cases at Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Center (JPNATC), All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. JPNATC is the only level 1 trauma center in north India, providing services to a population of approximately 30 million with around 9000 operations being performed annually.

Abstract
Objective Delayed cardiac tamponade, a life‐threatening complication of pericardial effusion in humans, has rarely been described in large animal models. We report here a pig with cardiac tamponade that developed 29 days after cardiac surgery. Study Design Case report. Animals One 45‐kg domestic pig. Methods Open‐chest surgery was performed on a pig to induce chronic heart failure. At 15 days after surgery, the pig's breathing appeared laboured; induced heart failure was considered the cause. Routine heart failure medications were administered. Results On day 28, the pig's status deteriorated. On day 29, echocardiography performed just before the pig's death showed a large pericardial effusion, mainly in the lateral and anterior walls of the right heart, with several fibre exudation bands. The right heart was severely compressed with an extremely small right ventricle. An emergency sternotomy was unsuccessful. Pathologic examination showed a severely thickened, fibrous pericardium. The pericardial sac was distended (up to 4.5 cm) and was full of dark brown, soft, friable material. Epicardial haemorrhage with a fresh, organised thrombus was noted in the pericardium. Conclusion Delayed tamponade occurring at least 15 days after open‐chest surgery is easy to misdiagnose or overlook in large animal models where attention is often focused on primary pathological model changes. To decrease mortality in animal models, researchers should be aware of potential complications and use the same level of follow‐up monitoring of large animals as in clinical care.

Abstract
Background Pericardial effusion is a known complication of post-open cardiac surgery which can progress to life-threatening cardiac tamponade. Classical signs of tamponade such as hypotension and pulsus paradoxus are often absent. Diagnosing acute cardiac tamponade with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can be challenging in post-cardiac surgical patients due to distorted anatomy and limited scanning windows by the presence of surgical dressings or scar. Additionally, this patient population is more likely to have a loculated pericardial effusion, or an effusion that is isoechoic in appearance secondary to clotted blood. These findings can be challenging to visualize with traditional TTE. Missed diagnosis of cardiac tamponade due to loculated pericardial clot can result in delayed diagnosis and clinical management. Case presentation We report a case series that illustrates the diagnostic challenge and value of resuscitative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the emergency department (ED) for the diagnosis of cardiac tamponade due to posterior loculated pericardial clot in post-surgical coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Conclusions Cardiac tamponade due to loculated posterior pericardial clot post-CABG requires prompt diagnosis and appropriate management to avoid the potential for hemodynamic instability. Transesophageal echocardiography allows a rapid diagnosis, early appropriate referral and an opportunity to institute appropriate therapeutic measures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of digital chest drainage units (CDUs) has become increasingly common in thoracic surgery due to several advantages. However, in cardiac surgery, its use is still limited in favour of conventional analogue CDUs. In order to investigate the potential benefit of digital CDUs in cardiac surgery, we compared the safety and efficacy of both systems in patients undergoing cardiac surgery at our centre. METHODS We retrospectively investigated 265 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac surgery at our institution between June 2017 and October 2017. These patients were divided into 2 groups: patients with analogue (A, n = 65) and digital CDUs (D, n = 200). Postoperative outcome was analysed and compared between both groups. In addition, the 'user experience' was evaluated by means of a questionnaire. RESULTS The median age of the cohort was 70 years (P = 0.167), 25.3% of patients were female (P = 0.414). There were no differences in terms of re-explorative surgery or use of blood products. Nor was there a difference in the overall amount of fluid collected. However, during the first 6 h, more fluid was collected by the digital CDUs. The overall rate of technical failure was 0.4%. We observed a significantly higher rate of clotting in the tubing system of the digital CDUs (P = 0.042). Concerning the user experience, the digital CDUs were associated with a more favourable ease of use on the regular wards (P < 0.001). With regard to the overall user experience, the digital CDUs outperformed the analogue systems (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Digital CDUs can be safely and effectively applied in patients after cardiac surgery. Due to the improved patient mobility and simplified chest tube management, the use of digital CDUs may be advantageous for patients after cardiac surgery. However, the issue of clotting of the tubing systems should be addressed by further technical improvements.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is an infrequent (<1%) complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), that can lead to dramatic consequences, including tamponade and death. The incidence of CAP is higher (4-9%) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI due higher complexity of these lesions and the techniques used to recanalized them. AREAS COVERED In this Expert Review, we discuss the specific features of CTO PCI predisposing to CAP. We also describe the typical procedural scenarios in which CAP can occur and provide a universal management algorithm. Currently available devices and techniques for CAP treatment are presented in detail. Finally, we discuss imaging support for diagnosis of pericardial effusion in CAP as well as medical and surgical management. EXPERT OPINION With increasing volumes and complexity of CTO PCI, the incidence of CAP is likely to rise. Adherence to good catheterization laboratory practices, availability of dedicated equipment to seal CAP, perform pericardiocentesis, and provide hemodynamic support, as well as adequate training, are pillars for the prevention and optimal management of CAP during CTO PCI.

Anesth Pain Med 2020; 10:e101832. [PMID: 33134143 PMCID: PMC7539053 DOI: 10.5812/aapm.101832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2020] [Revised: 06/21/2020] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Optimizing cardiac preload is usually the first step in patients with unstable hemodynamic. However, it should be remembered that an unnecessary volume expansion may exacerbate the hemodynamic. In mechanically ventilated patients, the ventilatory induced hemodynamic variations (VIHV) can be used to predict the fluid requirement. These variations (called dynamic indices of cardiac filling pressure), are superior to static indices (central venous and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure) in diagnosing any volume requirement. We theorized that some conditions other than hypovolemia might affect these hemodynamic variations. Objectives The current study aimed to discover these conditions in adult patients admitted to post-cardiac surgery ICU. Methods This antegrade cross-sectional study was conducted on 304 adult patients who were admitted to ICU after elective cardiac surgery in a teaching hospital (Tabriz-Iran). During the first 3 hours of the admission, the systolic (ΔSBP), diastolic (ΔDBP), mean (ΔMAP), and arterial blood pulse pressures (ΔPP) were invasively monitored and calculated in percent value. Because of the return of spontaneous breathing in most of the patients, the calculations were done only during the first 3-hour. All patients with spontaneous breathing, irregular cardiac rhythm, or re-admission to OR in this period were excluded from the study. We recorded demographic and surgical characteristics, perioperative hemodynamic and echocardiographic, and complications data and surveyed the correlation between VIHV and perioperative data. Results Two hundred and ninety two patients met the inclusion criteria. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was the most common surgery (64.4 %). Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was used in 95.55% of the surgeries. In the first 24-hour, 51 patients required re-operation because of sternum closure, bleeding control, cardiac tamponade, and coronary artery revascularization. Mortality and morbidity occurred in 2 (0.68%) and 50 (17.12%) patients, respectively. Among VIHVs, the ΔPP had the most significant value. Thus, mean ΔPP was calculated and the correlation between its severity (≤ 20% vs. > 20%) and other values surveyed. It was high in patients with cardiac dysfunction and tamponade (P value < 0.001). No significant correlation was found between mean ΔPP severity and hemorrhage rate, fluid balance, need to vasoactive agents, blood products, or bleeding control, redo CABG or sternum closure surgery, time to tracheal extubation, ICU stay, and postoperative complications. Patients with closed sternum were the same as those with the unclosed sternum. Conclusions The ΔPP was the most sensitive VIHV parameter. Cardiac dysfunction and tamponade increased ΔPP. Unclosed sternum did not affect its value. ΔPP value did not affect postoperative complications rate, time to tracheal extubation, or ICU stay.

Abstract
Extrinsic compression of the heart consequent to intrapleural fluid is a rare cause of cardiac tamponade. Cases of massive hemothorax resulting in external cardiac tamponade due to injury of the internal thoracic artery (ITA) following blunt or penetrating trauma have been described in the literature. Here, we present a case of iatrogenic injury to the right ITA complicating mastectomy and deep inferior epigastric perforator flap reconstruction. It manifested as hemodynamic instability that persisted despite aggressive fluid resuscitation. Investigation with an intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated cardiac tamponade secondary to a massive hemothorax which resolved following surgical placement of an intercostal drain.

Abstract
Background Thoracic chest drains are placed after cardiac surgery allowing for the clearance of blood, fluid, and air to prevent post-operative complications. Despite its importance, there is little data on the application of digital chest drainage systems in cardiac surgery. Therefore, the differences between an analog and a digital chest drainage system in cardiac surgery patients were investigated in a randomized controlled trial. Methods A total of 354 elective cardiac surgery patients were preoperatively randomized 1:1 between September 2016 and September 2017 to either an analog (Ocean) or a digital (Thopaz+) chest drainage system aiming to compare drainage-associated postoperative outcome parameters. Results A total of 340 patients were included in the analysis (analog: 188; digital: 152) with no significant differences in preoperative baseline parameters. Incidence of X-rays to detect air leaks was significantly lower in the digital group (analog: 20.2%; digital: 8.6%; P<0.01). Patients treated with the digital system showed a 3.3% reduction of re-thoracotomies, however, not statistically significant (analog: 5.3%; digital: 2.0%; P=0.19). Median total fluid amount did not significantly differ between study groups [median (P25; P75); analog: 705 (400; 1,333) mL; digital: 686 (404; 1,229) mL; P=0.83]; however, the use of the digital drainage system resulted in a quicker removal with a reduced median drainage duration of 16 hours (analog: 65 hours; digital: 49 hours; P≤0.01). Conclusions The study provides evidence that digital drainage systems can be safely applied in cardiac surgery patients. The use of the digital management system led to a decreased incidence of drainage-associated complications as well as to shortened chest tube duration. Findings require confirmation by additional studies.

Abstract
Mediastinal hematoma caused by sternal fracture leading to cardiac tamponade it’s a rare presentation. CT Scan it’s an effective method to diagnose mediastinal hematoma. High clinical suspicion of extra pericardial tamponade is required when sternal fracture associated with mediastinal hematoma. The best management for mediastinal hematoma its urgent evocation of the hematoma to decrease the pressure on the heart.
Introduction Cardiac tamponade typically results from fluid or gas collection in the pericardial space leading to impairment in the cardiac function. Presentation of case A 34 years old male patient presented to the ER after a fall from height. X-rays were done which showed no hemothorax or pneumothorax and multiple stable pelvic fractures. Computed tomography (CT) scan for trauma was done after stabilizing the patient and showed sternal fracture with a huge retrosternal hematoma. The patient was intubated immediately, and an Echocardiogram was ordered along with preparation to go to the operation room urgently due to high suspicion of a rare case of cardiac tamponade. but the patient had cardiac arrest and couldn't be revived despite the CPR effort. Discussion This is a very unusual presentation of cardiac tamponade, mediastinal hematoma leading to extra pericardial tamponade. CT scan is an effective method to diagnose extra pericardial tamponade. In addition, to the high clinical suspicion is required. The sole treatment of mediastinal hematoma is an urgent evacuation. Conclusion A careful assessment with high clinical suspicion along with CT Scan is the best way to diagnose extra pericardial tamponade cause by sternal fracture.

Abstract
Management of the cardiac transplant recipient includes careful titration of inotropes and vasopressors. Recipient pulmonary hypertension and ventilatory status must be optimized to prevent allograft right ventricular failure. Vasoplegia, coagulopathy, arrhythmias, and renal dysfunction also require careful management to achieve an optimal outcome. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) can be an ominous problem after cardiac transplantation. Although mild degrees of PGD may be managed medically, mechanical circulatory support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or temporary ventricular assist devices may be required. Retransplantation may be necessary in some cases.

Abstract
Objectives Pericardial tamponade is a life-threatening medical emergency, when the hemodynamic consequences of low cardiac output severely disturb the perfusion of the peripheral tissues. Our aim was to design a reliable large animal model to reproduce the clinical scenario with the relevant pathophysiological consequences of pericardial tamponade -induced cardiogenic shock. Material and Methods Anesthetized Vietnamese mini pigs were used (n=12). Following laparotomy, a cannula was fixed into the pericardium through the diaphragm without thoracotomy. A sham-operated group (n=6) served as control, while in the second group (n=6) pericardial tamponade was induced by intra-pericardial injection of heparinized own blood. Throughout the 60-min pericardial tamponade and the 180-min reperfusion, macro hemodynamics, renal circulation and the mesenteric macro- and micro-circulatory parameters were monitored. Myeloperoxidase activity was measured to detect neutrophil leukocyte accumulation and in vivo histology was performed by confocal laser scanning endomicroscopy to observe the structural changes of the intestinal mucosa. Results PT increased the central venous pressure, heart rate, and decreased mean arterial pressure. The mesenteric artery flow (from 355.5±112.4 vs 182.0±59.1 mL/min) and renal arterial flow (from 159.63±50.7 vs 35.902±27.9 mL//min) and the micro-circulation of the ileum was reduced. The myeloperoxidase activity was elevated (from 3.66±1.6 to 7.01±1.44 mU/mg protein) and manifest injury of the ileal mucosa was present. Conclusion This experimental model suitably mimics the hemodynamics and the pathology of clinical pericardial tamponade situations, and on this basis, it provides an opportunity to study the adverse macro- and micro-circulatory effects and biochemical consequences of human cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Context Cardiac tamponade (CT) following cardiac surgery is a potentially fatal complication and the cause of surgical reintervention in 0.1%-6% of cases. There are two types of CT: acute, occurring within the first 48 h postoperatively, and subacute or delayed, which occurs more than 48 h postoperatively. The latter does not show specific clinical signs, which makes it more difficult to diagnose. The factors associated with acute CT (aCT) are related to coagulopathy or surgical bleeding, while the variables associated with subacute tamponade have not been well defined. Aims The primary objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with the development of subacute CT (sCT). Settings and Design This report describes a case (n = 80) and control (n = 160) study nested in a historic cohort made up of adult patients who underwent any type of urgent or elective cardiac surgery in a tertiary cardiovascular hospital. Methods: The occurrence of sCT was defined as the presence of a compatible clinical picture, pericardial effusion and confirmation of cardiac tamponade during the required emergency intervention at any point between 48 hours and 30 days after surgery. All factors potentially related to the development of sCT were taken into account. Statistical Analysis Used For the adjusted analysis, a logistical regression was constructed with 55 variables, including pre-, intra-, and post-operative data. Results The mortality of patients with sCT was 11% versus 0% in the controls. Five variables were identified as independently and significantly associated with the outcome: pre- or post-operative anticoagulation, reintervention in the first 48 h, surgery other than coronary artery bypass graft, and red blood cell transfusion. Conclusions Our study identified five variables associated with sCT and established that this complication has a high mortality rate. These findings may allow the implementation of standardized follow-up measures for patients identified as higher risk, leading to either early detection or prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the predictive value of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) changes regarding the occurrence of pericardial tamponade following cardiac surgery. METHODS We retrospectively identified 66 consecutive patients in whom ScvO2 and arterial lactate levels were analyzed during an 8‑h time interval preceding pericardiotomy due to pericardial tamponade (PT), and at equivalent time points in 30 control patients (C) who had an uncomplicated course. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 74 years (interquartile range, 63-78). Three percent of procedures were re-operations. There were no differences between the baseline values of PT and C patients. Pericardiotomy was performed on average 1 day (0-3.5) after cardiac surgery. PT patients displayed a significant decline (p < 0.001) to lower ScvO2 levels (p < 0.001) and a significant increase (p = 0.005) to higher arterial lactate levels (p = 0.019) during the 8 h preceding pericardiotomy, whereas C patients did not (p = 0.440 and p = 0.279, respectively). PT was associated with a longer hospital stay (p = 0.04) and a higher in-hospital mortality (p = 0.008). An ScvO2 decline below 60% (p = 0.018), a delta ScvO2 decline greater than 5% (p = 0.001), and a delta lactate increase greater than 0.18 mmol/l (p = 0.002) during the 8 h preceding pericardiotomy were independently associated with PT. None of these parameters predicted in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSION Deteriorations in ScvO2 might serve as an early marker of PT following cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES It is reported that creating a window from the posterior pericardium into the left pleural cavity during coronary bypass surgeries reduces postoperative late cardiac tamponades. Although late tamponades are more common after heart valve surgeries, this procedure is not generally performed. The present study investigated whether creating a window has a preventive effect on the formation of late cardiac tamponade after heart valve surgeries. METHODS The study was conducted on all patients (n = 262) in whom one or more valves were replaced and who fulfilled the study criteria between January 2010 and October 2014 in one centre. We began to create a posterior pericardial window in all valvular patients from March 2012. One hundred and thirty-five patients operated on before this date (Non-Window Group) and 127 patients after this date (Window Group) were compared for the development of late cardiac tamponade. RESULTS There were no differences between the groups in terms of preoperative and intraoperative characteristics. Late pericardial tamponade was not observed in any patients from the Window Group, whereas it occurred in 7 (5.2%) patients from the Non-Window Group (P = 0.015). Three patients died in total; all 3 were from the Non-Window Group. One of the mortalities was associated with tamponade. CONCLUSIONS Creating a pericardial window may reduce late cardiac tamponade events/episodes, which may be a fatal complication in valve patients. We recommend performing this procedure by allocating some time during the surgical procedure in order to avoid tamponade.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency and predictors of pericardial effusion following epicardial sheath removal. BACKGROUND Pericardial effusion can occur following cardiac surgical or interventional procedures including percutaneous epicardial access (EpiAcc), which is increasingly used as part of electrophysiology ablation procedures. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the Mayo Clinic comprehensive electronic medical record was performed from all patients who underwent planned EpiAcc as part of an electrophysiology ablation procedure between January 1, 2004 and June 30, 2013. RESULTS Of 144 patients (mean age 51.3 ± 15.5 years, 68% male) who underwent planned EpiAcc as part of an electrophysiology ablation (95.8% pericardial access success rate), seven (4.9%) developed a postoperative pericardial effusion requiring repeat EpiAcc. Inferior access was utilized in 74 (51.4%) patients. Patients with pericardial effusion tended to be younger (41.1 years vs 51.8 years, P = 0.08) and were more likely to have undergone inferior approach access (85.7% vs 49.6%, P = 0.06) than those who did not develop postoperative pericardial effusion. Seventy-one percent of patients with postoperative pericardial effusion versus 32.1% of patients without postoperative pericardial effusion had a preprocedure ejection fraction ≥55% (P = 0.03). There were no procedural-related deaths, and no difference in mortality between groups. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative pericardial effusion requiring repeat access/drainage was relatively infrequent, occurring in 4.9% of patients shortly after epicardial procedures. While the majority occur early and therefore require close observation, some patients may present in a delayed manner.

J Surg Res 2014; 190:276-9. [PMID: 24703223 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2014.02.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2013] [Revised: 02/11/2014] [Accepted: 02/22/2014] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pericardial tamponade after cardiac surgery is a critical diagnosis that can be difficult to diagnose using conventional cardiac monitoring. Transesophageal echocardiography can provide comprehensive information to make the diagnosis but is not always available, whereas transthoracic echocardiography has its utility limited because of the body habitus or other surgical effects. New monitoring devices, miniaturized hemodynamic transesophageal echocardiography (hTEE), which allows point of care assessment of cardiac filling and functions, may aid in diagnosis of postcardiotomy tamponade. METHODS From May 2011 to July 2013, 21 patients underwent hTEE to rule out pericardial tamponade for clinical suspicion of tamponade after open heart surgery. The hTEE images were reviewed, and the patient outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS Nine patients showed no evidence of pericardial collection and did not require reexploration. Two patients showed a presence of small hematoma without ventricular compression and also did not undergo exploration. Ten patients were positive for pericardial tamponade (effusion or hematoma with ventricular compression); eight of these cases underwent emergent surgical exploration. Of the two patients who did not undergo immediate reoperation, one was managed by chest tube manipulation and the other patient underwent subsequent surgical exploration after his extensive coagulopathy was corrected by medical treatment. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of pericardial tamponade postcardiotomy is feasible using a disposable hTEE based on our limited experience. We avoided unnecessary explorations while concomitantly made prompt diagnosis in emergent situations. The hTEE device was a valuable tool in hemodynamic management in the intensive care unit, allowing rapid evaluations.
