Barker AK, Valley TS, Kenes MT, Sjoding MW. Early Deep Sedation Practices Worsened During the Pandemic Among Adult Patients Without COVID-19: A Retrospective Cohort Study. Chest 2024; 166:118-126. [PMID: 38218219 PMCID: PMC11317814 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.01.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is substantial evidence that patients with COVID-19 were treated with sustained deep sedation during the pandemic. However, it is unknown whether such guideline-discordant care had spillover effects to patients without COVID-19. RESEARCH QUESTION Did patterns of early deep sedation change during the pandemic for patients on mechanical ventilation without COVID-19? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We used electronic health record data from 4,237 patients who were intubated without COVID-19. We compared sedation practices in the first 48 h after intubation across prepandemic (February 1, 2018, to January 31, 2020), pandemic (April 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021), and late pandemic (April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022) periods. RESULTS In the prepandemic period, patients spent an average of 13.0 h deeply sedated in the first 48 h after intubation. This increased 1.9 h (95% CI, 1.0-2.8) during the pandemic period and 2.9 h (95% CI, 2.0-3.8) in the late pandemic period. The proportion of patients that spent over one-half of the first 48 h deeply sedated was 18.9% in the prepandemic period, 22.3% during the pandemic period, and 25.9% during the late pandemic period. Ventilator-free days decreased during the pandemic, with a subdistribution hazard ratio of being alive without mechanical ventilation at 28 days of 0.87 (95% CI, 0.79-0.95) compared with the prepandemic period. Tracheostomy placement increased during the pandemic period compared with the prepandemic period (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.08-1.82). In the medical ICU, early deep sedation increased 2.5 h (95% CI, 0.6-4.4) during the pandemic period and 4.9 h (95% CI, 3.0-6.9) during the late pandemic period, compared with the prepandemic period. INTERPRETATION We found that among patients on mechanical ventilation without COVID-19, sedation use increased during the pandemic. In the subsequent year, these practices did not return to prepandemic standards.

The Analgesic Effect of Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block in Median Sternotomy Cardiac Surgery in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024:S1053-0770(24)00349-5. [PMID: 38890084 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2024.05.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the analgesic effect of erector spinae plane block in adults undergoing median sternotomy cardiac surgery. DESIGN AND SETTING The Cochrane, Embase, and PubMed databases from inception to January 2024 were searched. The study has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42023470375). PARTICIPANTS Eight randomized controlled trials involving 543 patients, comparing with no block or sham block, were included, whether it was a single injection or continuous. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcomes were pain scores and opioid consumption. Erector spinae plane block reduced pain scores immediately after extubation (mean difference [MD], -1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.67 to -0.71; p for heterogeneity = 0.10), at 6 hours after extubation (MD, -1.96; 95% CI, -2.85 to -1.08; p for heterogeneity < 0.0001), and at 12 hours after extubation (MD, -0.98; 95% CI, -1.55 to -0.40; p for heterogeneity < 0.00001). The decrease in pain scores reached the minimal clinically important difference within 6 hours. Opioid consumption 24 hours after surgery decreased by 35.72 mg of oral morphine equivalents (95% CI, -50.88 to -20.57; p for heterogeneity < 0.0001). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of results. The quality of primary outcomes was rated as very low to moderate. CONCLUSIONS Erector spinae plane block decreased pain scores within 12 hours after extubation, reached the minimal clinically important difference within 6 hours, and decreased opioid consumption 24 hours after surgery, based on data of very low to moderate quality. However, high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to validate these findings.

Abstract
Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) is an important approach to treating coronary heart disease. However, patients undergoing open heart surgery are at risk of postoperative complications. Cigarette smoking is one of the preoperative risk factors that may increase postoperative complications. Studies show that early mobilization intervention may reduce these complications and improve functional capacity, but the impact of smoking on early outcomes after CABG has been controversial for the past two decades. This quasi-experimental study explored the effects of early mobilization on functional capacity among patients with different smoking histories undergoing CABG. The study involved 51 participants who underwent CABG surgery, divided into three groups: current smokers, former smokers, and non-smokers (n=17 each). A day before surgery, all groups underwent a six-minute walking test (6MWT). Every participant received the same intervention after surgery, including deep breathing exercises, an upper limb range of motion assessment, an incentive spirometer, and walking with and without assistance. Five days postoperatively, all outcomes - including the 6MWT, length of stay (LOS) in the ICU, and postoperative pulmonary complications - were assessed, and the 6MWT was repeated. There was a reduced functional capacity after CABG in ex-smokers (215.8±102 m) and current smokers (272.7±97m) compared to non-smokers (298.5±97.1m) in terms of 6MWT (p<0.05). Current smokers were more likely to have atelectasis after CABG than ex-smokers (76.5% vs. 52.9%), with non-smokers being the least likely to have atelectasis among the three groups (29.4%, p<0.05). Additionally, current smokers required longer ventilator support post-CABG (11.9±7.3 hours) compared to ex-smokers (8.3±4.3 hours) and non-smokers (7±2.5 hours, p<0.01). Smoking status significantly impacts functional capacity reduction after CABG, with current smokers being more susceptible to prolonged ventilator use and atelectasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Residual neuromuscular blockade is associated with increased postoperative pulmonary complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an extubation protocol incorporating neuromuscular blockade reversal (NMBR) by train-of-four monitoring on "fast-track" cardiac surgery outcomes. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING At a university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Out of 1,843 cardiac surgery patients, from February 2, 2015, to March 31, 2017, 957 (52%) underwent cardiac surgery on or after February 29, 2016. INTERVENTIONS An extubation protocol, comprised of weaning from mechanical ventilation and NMBR guidelines, was implemented on February 29, 2016. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The associations of baseline characteristics with the postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation (primary outcome) and respiratory and/or adverse complications (secondary outcomes) were evaluated using regression and interrupted- time series models. The implementation of an extubation protocol was associated with an 18% decrease in the duration of mechanical ventilation (incident rate ratio [IRR] 0.82, 95% CI 0.72-0.94; p < 0.01), statistically insignificant 26% increase in patients extubated ≤6 hours (odds ratio [OR] 1.26, 95% CI 0.97-1.65; p = 0.09), and 13% shorter intensive care unit length of stay (LOS) (IRR 0.87, 95% CI 0.79-0.97; p < 0.01). Patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft or isolated valve procedures, on or after February 29, 2016, had decreased extubation times (IRR 0.82, p < 0.01 and IRR 0.80, p = 0.02). The protocol did not have a statistically significant association with hospital LOS (IRR 0.98, p = 0.57) or readmission (OR 1.22, p = 0.33), and differences in the occurrence of pulmonary complications and adverse outcomes between the pre- and postprotocol groups were clinically insignificant. CONCLUSIONS The application of an extubation protocol incorporating NMBR based on neuromuscular monitoring was associated with a decrease in postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation and facilitated more patients meeting the early extubation benchmark without an increased risk of respiratory complications or adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Perioperative optimization of cardiac surgical patients is imperative to reduce complications, utilize health care resources efficiently, and improve patient recovery and quality of life. Standardized application of evidence-based best practices can lead to better outcomes. Although many practices should be applied universally to all patients, there are also opportunities along the surgical journey to identify patients who will benefit from additional interventions that will further ameliorate their recovery. Enhanced recovery programs aim to bundle several process elements in a standardized fashion to optimize outcomes after cardiac surgery. A foundational concept of enhanced recovery is attaining a better postsurgical end point for patients, in less time, through achievement and maintenance in their greatest possible physiologic, functional, and psychological state. Perioperative optimization is a broad topic, spanning multiple phases of care and involving a variety of medical specialties and nonphysician health care providers. In this review we highlight a variety of perioperative care topics, in which a comprehensive approach to patient care can lead to improved results for patients, providers, and the health care system. A particular focus on patient-centred care is included. Although existing evidence supports all of the elements reviewed, most require further improvements in implementation, as well as additional research, before their full potential and usefulness can be determined.

Abstract
Objectives Early extubation after cardiac surgery improves outcomes and reduces cost. We investigated the effect of a multidisciplinary 3-hour fast-track protocol on extubation, intensive care unit length of stay time, and reintubation rate after a wide range of cardiac surgical procedures. Methods We performed an observational study of 472 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery at a large academic institution. A multidisciplinary 3-hour fast-track protocol was applied to a wide range of cardiac procedures. Data were collected 4 months before and 6 months after protocol implementation. Cox regression model assessed factors associated with extubation time and intensive care unit length of stay. Results A total of 217 patients preprotocol implementation and 255 patients postprotocol implementation were included. Baseline characteristics were similar except for the median procedure time and dexmedetomidine use. The median extubation time was reduced by 44% (4:43 hours vs 3:08 hours; P < .001) in the postprotocol group. Extubation within 3 hours was achieved in 49.4% of patients in the postprotocol group compared with 25.8% patients in the preprotocol group; P < .001. There was no statistically significant difference in the intensive care unit length of stay after controlling for other factors. Early extubation was associated with only 1 patient requiring reintubation in the postprotocol group. Conclusions The multidisciplinary 3-hour fast-track extubation protocol is a safe and effective tool to further reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation after a wide range of cardiac surgical procedures. The protocol implementation did not decrease the intensive care unit length of stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide recommendations for enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery (ERACS) based on a multimodal perioperative medicine approach in adult cardiac surgery patients with the aim of improving patient satisfaction, reducing postoperative mortality and morbidity, and reducing the length of hospital stay. DESIGN A consensus committee of 20 experts from the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (Société française d'anesthésie et de réanimation, SFAR) and the French Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (Société française de chirurgie thoracique et cardio-vasculaire, SFCTCV) was convened. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guideline process was conducted independently of any industry funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system to guide the assessment of the quality of evidence. METHODS Six fields were defined: (1) selection of the patient pathway and its information; (2) preoperative management and rehabilitation; (3) anaesthesia and analgesia for cardiac surgery; (4) surgical strategy for cardiac surgery and bypass management; (5) patient blood management; and (6) postoperative enhanced recovery. For each field, the objective of the recommendations was to answer questions formulated according to the PICO model (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome). Based on these questions, an extensive bibliographic search was carried out and analyses were performed using the GRADE approach. The recommendations were formulated according to the GRADE methodology and then voted on by all the experts according to the GRADE grid method. RESULTS The SFAR/SFCTCV guideline panel provided 33 recommendations on the management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass or off-pump. After three rounds of voting and several amendments, a strong agreement was reached for the 33 recommendations. Of these recommendations, 10 have a high level of evidence (7 GRADE 1+ and 3 GRADE 1-); 19 have a moderate level of evidence (15 GRADE 2+ and 4 GRADE 2-); and 4 are expert opinions. Finally, no recommendations were provided for 3 questions. CONCLUSIONS Strong agreement existed among the experts to provide recommendations to optimise the complete perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity rates globally continue to rise and in turn the body mass index (BMI) of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is set to mirror this. Patients who are Class III obese (BMI ≥ 40) pose significant challenges to the surgical teams responsible for their care and are also at high risk of complications from surgery and even death. To improve outcomes in this population, interventions carried out in the preoperative, operative, and postoperative periods have shown promise. Despite this, there are no defined best practice national guidelines for perioperative management of obese patients undergoing cardiac surgery. AIM This review is aimed at clinicians and researchers in the field of cardiac surgery and aims to form a basis for the future development of clinical guidelines for the management of obese cardiac surgery patients. METHODS The PubMed database was utilized to identify relevant literature and strategies employed at various stages of the surgical journey were analyzed. CONCLUSIONS Data presented identified the benefits of preoperative respiratory muscle training, off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting where possible, and early extubation. Further randomized controlled trials are required to identify optimal operative and perioperative management strategies before the introduction of such guidance into clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) is a major complication following cardiac surgery. We conducted a secondary analysis of the Transfusion Requirements in Cardiac Surgery (TRICTS) III trial to describe MV duration, identify factors associated with prolonged MV, and examine associations of prolonged MV with mortality and complications. METHODS Four thousand, eight hundred and nine participants undergoing cardiac surgery at 71 hospitals worldwide were included. Prolonged MV was defined based on the Society of Thoracic Surgeons definition as MV lasting 24 hr or longer. Adjusted associations of patient and surgical factors with prolonged MV were examined using multivariable logistic regression. Associations of prolonged MV with complications were assessed using odds ratios, and adjusted associations between prolonged MV and mortality were evaluated using multinomial regression. Associations of shorter durations of MV with survival and complications were explored. RESULTS Prolonged MV occurred in 15% (725/4,809) of participants. Prolonged MV was associated with surgical factors indicative of complexity, such as previous cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass duration, and separation attempts; and patient factors such as critical preoperative state, left ventricular impairment, renal failure, and pulmonary hypertension. Prolonged MV was associated with perioperative but not long-term complications. After risk adjustment, prolonged MV was associated with perioperative mortality; its association with long-term mortality among survivors was weaker. Shorter durations of MV were not associated with increased risk of mortality or complications. CONCLUSION In this substudy of the TRICS III trial, prolonged MV was common after cardiac surgery and was associated with patient and surgical risk factors. Although prolonged MV showed strong associations with perioperative complications and mortality, it was not associated with long-term complications and had weaker association with long-term mortality among survivors. STUDY REGISTRATION www. CLINICALTRIALS gov (NCT02042898); registered 23 January 2014. This is a substudy of the Transfusion Requirements in Cardiac Surgery (TRICS) III trial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe changes in performance indicators such as length of stay [LOS] in the intensive care unit [ICU] and ventilation time, during the last six years in an attempt to identify associations between patient and systemic performance indicators, including the impact of nurse turnover. DESIGN A retrospective study of prospectively registered data (2013-2018). Propensity- score matching was performed to establish comparable groups. SETTING Three Danish university hospitals. PARTICIPANTS The study included a total of 12,404 adult cardiac surgical patients registered in the Western Denmark Heart Registry. The cohort was divided into an "early" group (2013-2016) and a "late" group (2017-2018). INTERVENTIONS An analysis of dynamics in patient indicators and systemic performance indicators, including the impact from selected performance parameters and nurse turnover. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Comorbidity, calculated from the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation, and the mean age were stable in the study period. Strong predictors of long LOS in the ICU included postoperative use of inotropes, re-exploration surgery, high postoperative drainage, and the "late" time group. Time parameters (relative risks) were all significantly longer in the "late" time group": ventilation time 1.21 (1.05-1.39), length of stay ICU 1.28 (1.11-1.48), and in-hospital time 1.36 (1.19-1.57). ICU nurse turnover increased from four (2013-2014) to 52 (2017-2018). CONCLUSION No single patient factor, such as age or comorbidity, could explain the decrease in patient turnover in the ICU. In the same period, the turnover of ICU nurses increased. Patient turnover is complex and affected by a mix of patient and systemic performance factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recombinant factor VII (rFVIIa) is used to treat cardiac surgical bleeding in an off-label manner. However, optimal dosing and timing of administration to provide efficacious yet safe outcomes remain unknown. DESIGN Retrospective, observational study. SETTING Tertiary care academic center. PARTICIPANTS Cardiac surgical patients (N = 214) who received low-dose rFVIIa for cardiac surgical bleeding. INTERVENTIONS Patients were allocated into one of three groups based on timing of rFVIIa administration during the course of bleeding resuscitation based on the number of hemostatic products given before rFVIIa administration: group one = ≤one products (n = 82); group two = two-to-four products (n = 73); and group three= ≥five products (n = 59). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patients who received low-dose rFVIIa later in the course of bleeding resuscitation (group three) had longer intensive care unit stays (p = 0.014) and increased incidence of postoperative renal failure when compared with group one (p = 0.039). Total transfusions were lowest in patients who received rFVIIa early in the course of resuscitation (group one) (median, two [interquartile range (IQR), 1-4.75]) and highest in group three (median, 11 [IQR, 8-14]; p < 0.001). Subsequent blood product transfusions after rFVIIa administration were highest in group two (p = 0.003); however, the median for all three groups was two products. There were no differences in thrombosis, reexplorations, or mortality in any of the groups. CONCLUSIONS This study identified no differences in adverse outcomes based on timing of administration of low-dose rFVIIa for cardiac surgical bleeding defined by stage of resuscitation, but the benefits of early administration remain unclear.

Abstract
The use of synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation with pressure support ventilation (SIMV + PSV) mode has been discontinued. This study analyzed the association between medical outcomes related to the use of assist-control (A/C) and SIMV + PSV in an intensive care unit. In this observational and retrospective study, modes of ventilation and medical data were collected from electronic medical records for three consecutive years and were related to medical outcomes (mortality), duration of mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay and the need for tracheostomy. Participants were divided into groups according to the modes of ventilation: A/C and SIMV + PSV. Statistical analyses were performed in the R environment. Alpha = 0.05. The using chi-square, Fisher's exact, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. 345 adult participants were included; 211/345 (61.16%) were males. Of the participants, 151/345 (43.77%) were on SIMV + PSV and 194/345 (56.23%) were on A/C. The comparative analysis between the modes of ventilation showed no significant differences in length of hospital stay (p = 0.675), duration of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.952), mortality (p = 0.241), failed extubation (p = 0.411) and the need for tracheostomy (p = 0.301). SIMV + PSV as a mode of ventilation showed similar statistical results to the A/C mode, when compared to analyzed medical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify factors associated with early extubation in cardiac surgery patients. DESIGN Single center, retrospective. SETTING Tertiary university hospital. PARTICIPANTS The study comprised 8,872 adult patients who underwent cardiothoracic surgery from 2011-2019. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the 8,872 patients, 2,950 (33%) were extubated within six hours after surgery. Early extubated patients were younger, had a higher body mass index (BMI), were more likely to be male, and were fast-track designated. These patients more frequently underwent isolated coronary artery bypass graft, isolated valve, or adult congenital surgeries than did late extubated patients. Early extubated patients had a greater incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and anxiety and a higher left ventricular ejection fraction. They also were less likely to have difficult intubation or require mechanical circulatory support, reintubation, or readmission. Analysis of the 8,872 patients showed that male sex (odds ratio [OR] 1.222, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.096-1.363), a BMI >30 kg/m2 (OR 1.702, 95% CI 1.475-1.965), undergoing isolated valve surgery (OR 1.187, 95% CI 1.060-1.328), and having a fast-track designation (OR 1.455, 95% CI 1.208-1.751) and CAD (OR 1.122, 95% CI 1.005-1.253) were associated with early extubation. Data on intensive care unit (ICU) admission after surgery were available only from 2014-2018. Within this subgroup of 5,977 patients, variables associated with early extubation included male sex (OR 1.356, 95% CI 1.193-1.541), BMI >30 kg/m2 (OR 1.267, 95% CI 1.084-1.480), daytime admission to the ICU (OR 1.712, 95% CI 1.527-1.919), and fast-track designation (OR 1.423, 95% CI 1.123-1.802). CONCLUSIONS Male sex; a BMI >30 kg/m2; undergoing isolated valve surgery; and having a fast-track designation, CAD, and daytime admission to the ICU are associated with early extubation.

Abstract
As mortality is now low for many cardiac surgical procedures, there has been an increasing focus on patient centered outcomes such as recovery and quality of life. The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) cardiac society recently published the first set of guidelines for cardiac surgery which will be useful as a starting point to help translate this philosophy for the benefit of those undergoing cardiac surgery. At the same time there are many advances in other areas such as mechanical circulation, diagnostics and quality metrics. We intend here to present a balanced and evidenced based review of selected aspects of current practice, encompassing both UK and international perioperative care with a focus on recent advances. For the convenience of the reader we will adopt the conventional perioperative preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases of care. The focus of cardiac surgical practice needs to evolve from mortality to recovery. Those specialists who work in cardiac anaesthesia and critical care are well placed to contribute to these changes. Accompanying this work is the development of technologies to improve recognition of and intervention to prevent early organ dysfunction. Measuring, benchmarking and publishing quality outcomes from cardiac surgical centres is likely to improve services and benefit our patients.

Abstract
Background The present study was to compare the potential impact of remifentanil-based propofol-supplemented anesthesia regimen vs. conventional sevoflurane-sufentanil balanced anesthesia on postoperative recovery of consciousness indicated by bispectral index (BIS) values in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Patients undergoing cardiac surgery were randomly allocated to get the remifentanil-based propofol-supplemented anesthesia employing target-controlled infusion (TCI) of remifentanil and propofol (Group-PR, n = 15) or a balanced-anesthesia employing sevoflurane-inhalation and TCI-sufentanil (Group-C, n = 19). In Group-PR, plasma concentration (Cp) of TCI-remifentanil was fixed at 20 ng/ml, and the effect-site concentration of TCI-propofol was adjusted within 0.8–2.0 μg/ml to maintain BIS value of 40–60. In Group-C, sevoflurane dosage was adjusted within 1–1.5 minimum alveolar concentration to maintain BIS of 40–60, and Cp of TCI-sufentanil was fixed at 0.4 ng/ml. The inter-group difference in the time for achieving postoperative BIS > 80 (T-BIS80) in the intensive care unit was determined as the primary outcome. The inter-group difference in the extubation time was determined as the secondary outcome. Results T-BIS80, was shorter in Group-PR than Group-C (121.4 ± 64.9 min vs. 182.9 ± 85.1 min, respectively; the difference of means –61.5 min; 95% CI –115.7 to –7.4 min; effect size 0.812; P = 0.027). The extubation time was shorter in Group-PR than in Group-C (434.7 ± 131.3 min vs. 946.6 ± 393.3 min, respectively, P < 0.001). Conclusions Compared with the conventional sevoflurane-sufentanil balanced anesthesia, the remifentanil-based propofol-supplemented anesthesia showed significantly faster postoperative conscious recovery in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

The Effects of Escalation of Respiratory Support and Prolonged Invasive Ventilation on Outcomes of Cardiac Surgical Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2019; 34:1226-1234. [PMID: 31806472 PMCID: PMC7144337 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2019.10.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2019] [Revised: 10/25/2019] [Accepted: 10/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the effects of escalation of respiratory support and prolonged postoperative invasive ventilation on patient-centered outcomes, and identify perioperative factors associated with these 2 respiratory complications. Design A retrospective cohort analysis of cardiac surgical patients admitted to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit (ICU) between August 2015 and January 2018. Escalation of respiratory support was defined as “unplanned continuous positive airway pressure,” “non-invasive ventilation,” or “reintubation” after surgery; prolonged invasive ventilation was defined as “invasive ventilation beyond the first 12 hours following surgery.” The primary endpoint was the composite of escalation of respiratory support and prolonged ventilation. Setting Tertiary cardiothoracic ICU. Participants A total of 2,098 patients were included and analyzed. Interventions None. Measurements and Main Results The composite of escalation of support or prolonged ventilation occurred in 509 patients (24.3%). Patients who met the composite had higher mortality (2.9% v 0.1%; p < 0.001) and longer median [interquartile range] length of ICU (2.1 [1.0-4.9] v 0.9 [0.8-1.0] days; p < 0.0001) and hospital (10.6 [8.0-16.0] v 7.2 [6.2-10.0] days; p < 0.0001) stay. Hypoxemia and anemia on admission to ICU were the only 2 factors independently associated with the need for escalation of respiratory support or prolonged invasive ventilation. Conclusions Escalation of respiratory support or prolonged invasive ventilation is frequently seen in cardiac surgery patients and is highly associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Hypoxemia and anemia on admission to the ICU are potentially modifiable factors associated with escalation of respiratory support or prolonged invasive ventilation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation is the standard of care after cardiac surgery, but it imposes physiologic and psychological stress on patients. The Society of Thoracic Surgery recommends 6 hours as the goal for extubation, but 60% of our patients were not meeting this metric. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this project were to decrease cardiac surgery patients' ventilation hours and intensive care unit length of stay using a ventilator weaning protocol. METHODS An evidence-based ventilator weaning protocol was developed, and nurses were prepared for its implementation using a simulation education program. RESULTS Ventilator hours were reduced from 7.74 to 6.27 (t = 2.5, P = .012). The percentage of patients extubated in 6 hours increased from 40% to 63.5% (χ = 7.757, P = .005). There was no statistically significant decrease in cardiovascular intensive care unit length of stay (17.15 to 15.99, t = 0.619, P = .537). Nurses' scores on a knowledge test increased significantly from pre (6.11) to post (7.79) (t = -5.04, P < .001). Their perception of confidence increased in weaning from pre (median, 4; IQR, 4,4) to post (median, 4; interquartile range [IQR], 4,5), z = -2.71, P = .007, and also in using the protocol from pre (median, 4; IQR, 3,4) to post (median, 4; IQR, 4,5) (z = -3.17, P = .002). DISCUSSION Using a nurse-led ventilator weaning protocol resulted in decreased ventilator hours for patients and increased knowledge and confidence for nurses.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The fast track / ultra-fast-track protocols are techniques used to optimise the patient care process and a quick recovery after cardiac surgery. They are one of the mainstays of efficient practice. With their use, the length of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stays are reduced, with a direct impact on costs and the quality of the health service. OBJECTIVE To compare the length of stay in the ICU, length of hospital stay, and post-operative mortality in ultra-fast-track extubated (uFTE) patients and those with conventional extubation (CE) after cardiac surgery. METHODS Longitudinal, analytical, retrospective study was conducted, with the period between the time of surgery and discharge being included as the study period. RESULTS A total of 396 patients older than 18 years who required cardiac surgery were included, of whom 207 patients had (uFTE) and 189 had CE. Although the groups were not comparable due to the statistical differences found, when performing the multivariate adjustment, uFTE maintained its statistical independence and was associated with lower cardiovascular morbidity, such as myocardial ischaemia (95% CI: 0.37-0.86; P = .01) and lower post-surgical vasopressor requirement (95% CI: 0.18-0.49; P < .01). No significant differences were found in the length of hospital stay, ICU stay, or post-operative mortality in the ICU. CONCLUSION Implementing the uFTE strategy, decreases cardiovascular morbidity and vasopressor requirement. The change to uFTE should be accompanied by changes in models and practices in patient recovery to standardised protocols. This study shows that uFTE did not reduce the length of ICU stay, hospital stay, or mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Expedient extubation after cardiac surgery has been associated with improved outcomes, leading to postoperative extubation frequently during overnight hours. However, recent evidence in a mixed medical-surgical intensive care unit population demonstrated worse outcomes with overnight extubation. This study investigated the impact of overnight extubation in a statewide, multicenter Society of Thoracic Surgeons database. METHODS Records from 39,812 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting or valve operations (2008-2016) and extubated within 24 hours were stratified according to extubation time between 06:00 and 18:00 (day) or between 18:00 and 6:00 (overnight). Outcomes including reintubation, mortality, and composite morbidity-mortality were evaluated using hierarchical regression models adjusted for Society of Thoracic Surgeons predictive risk scores. To further analyze extubation during the night, a subanalysis stratified patients into 3 groups: 06:00 to 18:00, 18:00 to 24:00, and 24:00 to 06:00. RESULTS A total of 20,758 patients were extubated overnight (52.1%) and were slightly older (median age 66 vs 65 years, P < .001) with a longer duration of ventilation (4 vs 7 hours, P < .001). Day and overnight extubation were associated with equivalent operative mortality (1.7% vs 1.7%, P = .880), reintubation (3.7% vs 3.4%, P = .141), and composite morbidity-mortality (8.2% vs 8.0%, P = .314). After risk adjustment, overnight extubation was not associated with any difference in reintubation, mortality, or composite morbidity-mortality. On subanalysis, those extubated between 24:00 and 06:00 exhibited increased composite morbidity-mortality (odds ratio, 1.18; P = .001) but no difference in reintubation or mortality. CONCLUSIONS Extubation overnight was not associated with increased mortality or reintubation. These results suggest that in the appropriate clinical setting, it is safe to routinely extubate cardiac surgery patients overnight.

Abstract
Introduction Intubation time in patients undergoing cardiac surgery may be associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Premature extubation can have serious adverse physiological consequences. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of intubation time on morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of data on 1,904 patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and stratified them by duration of intubation time after surgery - 0-6, 6-9, 9-12, 12-24 and over 24 hours. Postoperative complications risk analysis was performed using multivariate logistic regression analysis for patients extubated ≤12 and >12 hours. Results Intubation percentages in each time cohort were as follows: 0-6 hours - 7.8%, 6-9 hours - 17.3%, 9-12 hours - 26.8%, 12-24 hours - 44.4% and >24 hours - 3.7%. Patients extubated ≤12 hours after CABG were younger, mostly males, more often smokers, with lower preoperative risk. They had lower 30-day mortality (2.02% vs 4.59%, P=0.002), shorter hospital stay (7.68±4.49 vs 9.65±12.63 days, P<0.001) and shorter intensive care unit stay (2.39 vs 3.30 days, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that intubation exceeding 12 hours after CABG increases the risk of postoperative delirium (OR 1.548, 95% CI 1.161-2.064, P=0.003) and risk of postoperative hemofiltration (OR 1.302, 95% CI 1.023-1.657, P=0.032). Conclusion Results indicate that risk of postoperative complications does not increase until intubation time exceeds 12 hours. Shorter intubation time is seen in younger, men and smokers. Intubation time >12 hours is a risk factor for postoperative delirium and hemofiltration after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of short-acting anesthetics, muscle relaxation, and anesthesia depth monitoring allows maintaining sufficient anesthesia depth, fast recovery, and extubation of the patients in the operating room (OR). We evaluated the feasibility of extubation in the OR in cardiac surgery. METHODS This clinical trial was performed on 100 adult patients who underwent elective noncomplex cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Additional to the routine monitoring, the patients' depth of anesthesia and neuromuscular blocked were assessed by bispectral index and nerve stimulator, respectively. In the on-table extubation (OTE) group (n = 50), a limited dose of sufentanil (0.15 µg/kg/h) and inhalational anesthetics were used for early waking. In the control group (n = 50), the same anesthesia-inducing drugs were used but the dose of sufentanil during the operation was 0.7 - 0.8 µg/kg/h. After the operation, cardiorespiratory parameters and ICU stay were documented. RESULTS Demographic and clinical variables were comparable in both study groups. In the OTE group, we failed to extubate two patients in the OR (success rate of 96%). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the time of entering the ICU (P > 0.05). Heart rate was lower in the OTE than in the control group at ICU admission (89.4 ± 13.1 vs. 97.6 ± 12.0 bpm; P = 0.008). The ICU stay time was lower in the OTE group (34 (21.5 - 44) vs. 48 (44 - 60) h; P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Combined inhalational-intravenous anesthesia along with using multiple anesthesia monitoring systems allows reducing the dose of total anesthetics and maintaining adequate anesthesia depth during noncomplex cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Thus, extubation of the trachea in the OR is feasible in these patients.
