Abstract
OBJECTIVE Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in cardiac surgery can lead to RV failure, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Abnormal RV function can be identified using RV pressure monitoring. The primary objective of the study is to determine the proportion of patients with abnormal RV early to end-diastole diastolic pressure gradient (RVDPG) and abnormal RV end-diastolic pressure (RVEDP) before initiation and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) separation. The secondary objective is to evaluate if RVDPG before CPB initiation is associated with difficult and complex separation from CPB, RV dysfunction, and failure at the end of cardiac surgery. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Tertiary care cardiac institute. PARTICIPANTS Cardiac surgical patients. INTERVENTION Cardiac surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Automated electronic quantification of RVDPG and RVEDP were obtained. Hemodynamic measurements were correlated with cardiac and extracardiac parameters from transesophageal echocardiography and postoperative complications. Abnormal RVDPG was present in 80% of the patients (n = 105) at baseline, with a mean RVEDP of 14.2 ± 3.9 mmHg. Patients experienced an RVDPG > 4 mmHg for a median duration of 50.2% of the intraoperative period before CPB initiation and 60.6% after CPB separation. A total of 46 (43.8%) patients had difficult/complex separation from CPB, 18 (38.3%) patients had RV dysfunction, and 8 (17%) had RV failure. Abnormal RVDPG before CPB was not associated with postoperative outcome. CONCLUSION Elevated RVDPG and RVEDP are common in cardiac surgery. RVDPG and RVEDP before CPB initiation are not associated with RV dysfunction and failure but can be used to diagnose them.

Abstract
Mean arterial pressure to mean pulmonary arterial pressure ratio (mAP/mPAP) has been identified as a strong predictor of perioperative complications in cardiac surgery. We therefore investigated the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship of inhaled milrinone in these patients using this ratio (R) as a PD marker. Following approval by the ethics and research committee and informed consent, we performed the following experiment. Before initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass in 28 pulmonary hypertensive patients scheduled for cardiac surgery, milrinone (5 mg) was nebulized, plasma concentrations measured (up to 10 h) and compartmental PK analysis carried out. Baseline (R0) and peak (Rmax) ratios as well as magnitude of peak response (∆Rmax-R0) were measured. During inhalation, individual area under effect-time (AUEC) and plasma concentration-time (AUC) curves were correlated. Potential relationships between PD markers and difficult separation from bypass (DSB) were explored. In this study, we observed that milrinone peak concentrations (41-189 ng ml-1) and ΔRmax-R0 (- 0.12-1.5) were obtained at the end of inhalation (10-30 min). Mean PK parameters agreed with intravenous milrinone published data after correction for the estimated inhaled dose. Paired comparisons yielded a statistically significant increase between R0 and Rmax (mean difference, 0.58: 95% CI 0.43-0.73; P < 0.001). Individual AUEC correlated with AUC (r = 0.3890, r2 = 0.1513; P = 0.045); significance increased after exclusion of non-responders (r = 4787, r2 = 0.2292; P = 0.024). Individual AUEC correlated with ∆Rmax-R0 (r = 5973, r2 = 0.3568; P = 0.001). Both ∆Rmax-R0 (P = 0.009) and CPB duration (P < 0.001) were identified as predictors of DSB. In conclusion, both magnitude of peak response of the mAP/mPAP ratio and CPB duration were associated with DSB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are major complications in cardiac surgery. Intraoperative management of patients at high risk of RV failure should aim to reduce RV afterload and optimize RV filling pressures, while avoiding systemic hypotension, to facilitate weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Inhaled epoprostenol and inhaled milrinone (iE&iM) administered in combination before CPB may represent an effective strategy to facilitate separation from CPB and reduce requirements for intravenous inotropes during cardiac surgery. Our primary objective was to report the rate of positive pulmonary vasodilator response to iE&iM and, second, how it relates to perioperative outcomes in cardiac surgery. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with PH or RV dysfunction undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery at the Montreal Heart Institute from July 2013 to December 2018 (n = 128). iE&iM treatment was administered using an ultrasonic mesh nebulizer before the initiation of CPB. Demographic and baseline clinical data, as well as hemodynamic, intraoperative, and echocardiographic data, were collected using electronic records. An increase of 20% in the mean arterial pressure (MAP) to mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) ratio was used to indicate a positive response to iE&iM. RESULTS In this cohort, 77.3% of patients were responders to iE&iM treatment. Baseline systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) (odds ratio [OR], 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-2.16 per 5 mm Hg; P = .0006) was found to be a predictor of pulmonary vasodilator response, while a European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE II) score >6.5% was a predictor of nonresponse to treatment (≤6.5% vs >6.5% [reference]: OR, 5.19; 95% CI, 1.84-14.66; P = .002). Severity of PH was associated with a positive response to treatment, where a higher proportion of responders had MPAP values >30 mm Hg (42.4% responders vs 24.1% nonresponders; P = .0237) and SPAP values >55 mm Hg (17.2% vs 3.4%; P = .0037). Easier separation from CPB was also associated with response to iE&iM treatment (69.7% vs 58.6%; P = .0181). A higher proportion of nonresponders had a very difficult separation from CPB and required intravenous inotropic drug support compared to responders, for whom easy separation from CPB was more frequent. Use of intravenous inotropes after CPB was lower in responders to treatment (8.1% vs 27.6%; P = .0052). CONCLUSIONS A positive pulmonary vasodilator response to treatment with a combination of iE&iM before initiation of CPB was observed in 77% of patients. Higher baseline SPAP was an independent predictor of pulmonary vasodilator response, while EuroSCORE II >6.5% was a predictor of nonresponse to treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are major complications in cardiac surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the change in RV pressure waveform in patients receiving a combination of inhaled epoprostenol and inhaled milrinone (iE&iM) before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to assess the safety of this approach with a matched case-control group. METHODS A prospective single-centre cohort study of adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery administered iE&iM through an ultrasonic mesh nebulizer. RV pressure waveform monitoring was obtained by continuously transducing the RV port of the pulmonary artery (PA) catheter. RESULTS The final analysis included 26 patients receiving iE&iM. There was a significant drop in mean PA pressure (MPAP) (-4.8 ± 8.7, P = 0.010), systolic PA pressure (SPAP) (-8.2 ± 12.8, P = 0.003), RV end-diastolic pressure (RVEDP) (-2.1 ± 2.8, P < 0.001) and RV diastolic pressure gradient (RVDPG) (-1.7 ± 1.4, P < 0.001) after 17 ± 9 minutes of iE&iM administration. Patients also had a significant increase in RV outflow tract (RVOT) gradient (3.7 ± 4.7, P < 0.001), RV maximal rate of pressure rise during early systole (dP/dt max) (68.3 ± 144.7, P = 0.024), and left ventricular (LV) dP/dt max (66.4 ± 90.1, P < 0.001). Change in RVOT gradient was only observed in those with a positive pulmonary vasodilator response to treatment. Treatment with iE&iM did not present adverse effects when compared with a matched case-control group. CONCLUSIONS Coadministration of iE&iM in cardiac surgery patients presenting with PH or signs of RV dysfunction is a safe and effective treatment approach in improving RV function. Appearance of a transient increase in RVOT gradient after iE&iM could be useful to predict response to treatment.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled milrinone in controlling pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in paediatric cardiac surgery and its effect on weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods A total of 40 patients with congenital heart diseases complicated by PAH submitted to cardiac surgery requiring CPB were included in the present study and were randomly classified into the control group (n=20) who received intravenous milrinone 0.5 μg kg−1 min−1 and the inhaled group (n=20) who received inhaled milrinone 50 μg kg−1 before initiation and just before weaning off CPB. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), mean systemic arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), MAP/mPAP ratio, vasoactive drug requirements and time needed to wean the patients from CPB were collected. Results mPAP and HR were significantly lower, and MAP and MAP/mPAP ratio were significantly higher in the inhaled group than in the control group. Vasoactive drug requirements were significantly lesser, and the time needed to wean the patients was significantly shorter in the inhaled group than in the control group. Conclusion Milrinone inhalation facilitated the weaning from CPB as it significantly reduced mPAP and maintained MAP with subsequently less needs for vasoactive drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in cardiac surgery is associated with increased mortality and morbidity and difficult separation from cardiopulmonary bypass (DSB). The primary objective of the present study was to describe the prevalence and characteristics of patients with abnormal RV diastolic pressure gradient (PG). The secondary objective was to explore the association among abnormal diastolic PG and DSB, postoperative complications, high central venous pressure (CVP), and high RV end-diastolic pressure (RVEDP). DESIGN Retrospective and prospective validation study. SETTING Tertiary care cardiac institute. PARTICIPANTS Cardiac surgical patients (n=374) from a retrospective analysis (n=259) and a prospective validation group (n=115). INTERVENTION RV pressure waveforms were obtained using a pulmonary artery catheter with a pacing port opened at 19 cm distal to the tip of the catheter. Abnormal RV diastolic PG was defined as >4 mmHg. Both elevated RVEDP and high CVP were defined as >16 mmHg. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS From the retrospective and validation cohorts, 42.5% and 48% of the patients had abnormal RV diastolic PG before cardiac surgery, respectively. Abnormal RV diastolic PG before cardiac surgery was associated with higher EuroSCORE II (odds ratio 2.29 [1.10-4.80] v 1.62 [1.10-3.04]; p = 0.041), abnormal hepatic venous flow (45% v 29%; p = 0.038), higher body mass index (28.9 [25.5-32.5] v 27.0 [24.9-30.5]; p = 0.022), pulmonary hypertension (48% v 37%; p = 0.005), and more frequent DSB (32% v 19%; p = 0.023). However, RV diastolic PG was not an independent predictor of DSB, whereas RVEDP (odds ratio 1.67 [1.09-2.55]; p = 0.018) was independently associated with DSB. In addition, RV pressure monitoring indices were superior to CVP in predicting DSB. CONCLUSION Abnormal RV diastolic PG is common before cardiac surgery and is associated with a higher proportion of known preoperative risk factors. However, an abnormal RV diastolic PG gradient is not an independent predictor of DSB in contrast to RVEDP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In cardiac surgery, pulmonary hypertension is an important prognostic factor for which several treatments have been suggested over time. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we compared the efficacy of inhaled aerosolized vasodilators to intravenously administered agents and to placebo in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension during cardiac surgery. We searched MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, Web of Science, and clinicaltrials.gov databases from inception to October 2015. The incidence of mortality was assessed as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included length of stay in hospital and in the intensive care unit, and evaluation of the hemodynamic profile. METHODS Of the 2897 citations identified, 10 studies were included comprising a total of 434 patients. RESULTS Inhaled aerosolized agents were associated with a significant decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance (-41.36 dyne·s/cm, P= .03) and a significant increase in mean arterial pressure (8.24 mm Hg, P= .02) and right ventricular ejection fraction (7.29%, P< .0001) when compared to intravenously administered agents. No significant hemodynamically meaningful differences were observed between inhaled agents and placebo; however, an increase in length of stay in the intensive care unit was shown with the use of inhaled aerosolized agents (0.66 days, P= .01). No other differences were observed for either comparison. CONCLUSIONS The administration of inhaled aerosolized vasodilators for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension during cardiac surgery is associated with improved right ventricular performance when compared to intravenously administered agents. This review does not support any benefit compared to placebo on major outcomes. Further investigation is warranted in this area of research and should focus on clinically significant outcomes.

Abstract
Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are at high risk for complications in the perioperative setting and often receive vasodilators to control elevated pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). Administration of vasodilators via inhalation is an effective strategy for reducing PAP while avoiding systemic side effects, chiefly hypotension. The prototypical inhaled pulmonary-specific vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO), has a proven track record but is expensive and cumbersome to implement. Alternatives to NO, including prostanoids (such as epoprostenol, iloprost, and treprostinil), NO-donating drugs (sodium nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, and nitrite), and phosphodiesterase inhibitors (milrinone, sildenafil) may be given via inhalation for the purpose of treating elevated PAP. This review will focus on the perioperative therapy of PH using inhaled vasodilators.

Abstract
Perioperative care for cardiac surgery is undergoing rapid evolution. Many of the changes involve the application of novel technologies to tackle common challenges in optimizing perioperative management. Herein, we illustrate recent advances in perioperative management by focusing on a number of novel components that we judge to be particularly important. These include: the introduction of brain and somatic oximetry; transesophageal echocardiographic hemodynamic monitoring and bedside focused ultrasound; ultrasound-guided vascular access; point-of-care coagulation surveillance; right ventricular pressure monitoring; novel inhaled treatment for right ventricular failure; new approaches for postoperative pain management; novel approaches in specialized care procedures to ensure quality control; and specific approaches to optimize the management for postoperative cardiac arrest. Herein, we discuss the reasons that each of these components are particularly important in improving perioperative care, describe how they can be addressed, and their impact in the care of patients who undergo cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is being recognized as an important part in the pre-operative evaluation. Pre-operative LV diastolic dysfunction has been associated with increased risk of post-operative complications. Furthermore guidelines have been published on the assessment of LV diastolic function. However LV diastolic function is significantly influenced by loading conditions which are typically altered during cardiac and non-cardiac surgery. In addition, waveform analysis from the pulmonary artery catheter tend to correlate with diastolic function and loading conditions. The advantage of hemodynamic monitoring being that they are continuously displayed as opposed to intermittent diastolic parameters. Finally if the importance of diastolic function assessment is to estimate filling pressure, the presence of B lines with the use of lung ultrasound is a simpler method in detecting pulmonary edema. Another indirect evidence of either LV systolic or diastolic dysfunction is an abnormal near-infrared spectroscopy value. Finally it might be more important to evaluate right ventricular (RV) diastolic dysfunction as RV dysfunction is significantly associated with pulmonary hypertension and consequently mortality. Such assessment of RV diastolic dysfunction can be obtained continuously with the use of RV pressure waveform monitoring.
