Perioperative blood glucose variability and autonomic nervous system activity in on-pump cardiac surgery patients: Study protocol of a single-center observational study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2022; 101:e31821. [PMID: 36451410 PMCID: PMC9704965 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000031821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION On-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and surgical valve replacement (SVR) are high-risk procedures. Several studies reported that perioperative blood glucose (BG) variability was independently associated with impaired postoperative outcome. However, the underlying mechanisms contributing to increased perioperative BG variability and to its deleterious impact remain unknown. The hypothesis of the study is that perioperative BG variability could be related to perioperative alteration of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and to preoperative BG variability. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We designed a prospective observational single-center study. Four groups of 30 patients will be studied: group 1, including insulin-requiring type 2 diabetic patients undergoing on-pump CABG; group 2, including non-insulin-requiring type 2 diabetic patients undergoing on-pump CABG; group 3, including non-diabetic patients undergoing aortic SVR; and group 4, including non-diabetic patient undergoing on-pump CABG. Preoperative (baseline) and postoperative BG variability will be quantified using the Abbott's Freestyle Libre Pro sensor allowing for continuous subcutaneous BG monitoring. Preoperative (baseline) and postoperative ANS activity will be measured using noninvasive continuous heart rate monitoring (Mooky HR memory®). Blood level and urinary concentration of inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers will be measured from blood and urinary samples at the end of the surgery and on postoperative day 1 and 2. The primary objective is to describe the relationship between baseline BG variability and postoperative BG variability. The secondary objectives are to describe the relationship: between baseline and postoperative BG variability according to the diabetes phenotype and to the type of surgery; between the ANS activity and the BG variability; and between postoperative BG variability and, urinary and blood biomarkers.

Abstract
AIM The guideline for coronary artery revascularization replaces the 2011 coronary artery bypass graft surgery and the 2011 and 2015 percutaneous coronary intervention guidelines, providing a patient-centric approach to guide clinicians in the treatment of patients with significant coronary artery disease undergoing coronary revascularization as well as the supporting documentation to encourage their use. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted from May 2019 to September 2019, encompassing studies, reviews, and other evidence conducted on human subjects that were published in English from PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Collaboration, CINHL Complete, and other relevant databases. Additional relevant studies, published through May 2021, were also considered. STRUCTURE Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Coronary revascularization is an important therapeutic option when managing patients with coronary artery disease. The 2021 coronary artery revascularization guideline provides recommendations based on contemporary evidence for the treatment of these patients. The recommendations present an evidence-based approach to managing patients with coronary artery disease who are being considered for coronary revascularization, with the intent to improve quality of care and align with patients' interests.

Abstract
Infections have a significant impact on increasing both the morbidity and mortality rate of patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Infection after CABG imposes a clinical and economic burden on patients and health care organizations; therefore, prevention should be on the agenda. This review will focus on the value of using prophylactic antibiotics in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Prophylactic antibiotics like cephalosporin and vancomycin are more commonly used antibiotics and are strongly associated with reduced infection risk in patients. The results showed that using antibiotics during the perioperative period and after CABG is an effective strategy for reducing post-infection problems without compromising the patients' clinical outcomes. Diabetic patients are prone to postoperative infection after CABG, however, prophylactic antibiotics should not be the only strategy used to reduce the risk of postoperative infection in diabetic patients. Perioperative glycaemic control is essential for diabetic patients undergoing CABG. Appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis has a great impact on preventing infection after CABG but duration and selecting appropriate antibiotic is important. Standardizing the use of antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the rate of infection and unwanted bacterial resistance, which could subsequently reduce economic costs to patients and public health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most serious potential complications post cardiac surgery among patients with diabetes and has a number of adverse health outcomes. The literature shows discrepancies regarding the effect of different glycaemic control protocols on reducing adverse health outcomes including SSIs. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review that investigated the effect of the optimal range of tight glycaemic control protocols using a continuous insulin infusion on reducing the incidence of SSIs in adult patients with diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery. METHOD A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA statement and guidelines. Search terms were used to identify research studies published between 2000 and 2019 across five key databases, including CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Database and Google Scholar. RESULTS A total of 12 studies met the review inclusion criteria. The reviewed literature tended to support the implementation of a tight glycaemic control protocol, particularly in the postoperative phase, that demonstrated fewer potential complications associated with cardiac surgery. On the other hand, the literature also supported the application of a moderate glycaemic control protocol in the intraoperative phase to obtain better glycaemic stability with fewer potential complications among those patients with diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery. CONCLUSION This analysis concludes that tight glycaemic control is more effective than moderate glycaemic control intraoperatively in terms of glycaemic stability among patients with diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery. Results also emphasised the importance of time-based protocol implementation to ensure better health outcomes and better quality of care for patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Perioperative poor glycemic control in diabetic patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery has been associated with infectious complications, particularly surgical site infections that are linked with adverse health surgical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two different intraoperative glycemic control protocol, tight and conventional, on thirty-day postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) rates among diabetic patients undergoing CABG surgery. DESIGN A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design was employed in the study, with a convenience sample of 144 adult patients who were scheduled to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. SETTING A main referral heart institute in Amman, Jordan. PARTICIPANTS Subjects were randomly assigned to either the tight glycemic control group (n = 72), which maintained an intraoperative blood glucose level of 110-149 mg/dl via continuous intravenous insulin infusion, or the conventional glycemic control group (n = 72), which maintained an intraoperative blood glucose level of 150-180 mg/dl via continuous intravenous insulin infusion. The postoperative SSIs among both groups were evaluated and compared by independent blinded physicians. RESULTS The primary findings of this study indicated no statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups in terms of SSI rates and their potential adverse surgical outcomes (p = 0.512). CONCLUSION Nurses should consider the glycemic stability and glycemic control approach to minimize adverse surgical outcomes post CABG surgery. Healthcare providers should also carefully consider diabetic patients who have undergone CABG surgery and are at risk of developing postoperative SSIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative glycaemic stability and control among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery have been a major concern. The current study aimed to compare the effect of tight glycaemic control and conventional glycaemic control on glycaemic stability and length of stay (LOS) among diabetic patients undergoing CABG surgery. METHODS This study utilised a randomised control trial design among a convenience sample of 144 patients. Participants were randomly assigned to either the tight or conventional glycaemic control groups. The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and an independent samples t test were used to assess the variations in blood glucose (BG) level and LOS based on insulin therapy type. RESULTS Patients who received the tight glycaemic control protocol had significantly more consistent and lower mean intraoperative BG levels than did patients who received the conventional glycaemic control protocol. No statistically significant differences in hospital LOS in days were identified between the two groups. CONCLUSION Healthcare providers, including physicians and nurses, should consider using tight glycaemic control therapy among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This may lead to increased BG level consistency and stability and lower mean intraoperative BG level across time.

Abstract
Background Blood glucose variability is associated with poor prognosis after cardiac surgery, but the relationship between glucose variability and postoperative delirium in patients with acute aortic dissection is unclear. The study aims to investigate the association of blood glucose variability with postoperative delirium in acute aortic dissection patients. Methods We prospectively analyzed 257 patients including 103 patients with delirium. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether delirium was present. The outcome measures were postoperative delirium, the length of the Intensive Care Unit stay, and the duration of hospital stay. Multivariable Cox competing risk survival models was used to assess. Results A total of 257 subjects were enrolled, including 103 patients with delirium. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in body mass index, history of cardiac surgery, first admission blood glucose, white blood cell counts, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, hypoxemia, mechanical ventilation duration, and the length of Intensive Care Unit stay(P < 0.05). The delirium group exhibited significantly higher values of the mean of blood glucose (MBG) and the standard deviation of blood glucose (SDBG) than in the non-delirium group(P < 0.05). In model 1, the adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) of the standard deviation of blood glucose was 1.436(P < 0.05). In Model 2, the standard deviation of blood glucose (AHR = 1.418, 95%CI = 1.195–1.681, P < 0.05) remained significant after adjusting for confounders. The area under the curve of the SDBG was 0.763(95%CI = 0.704–0.821, P < 0.01). The sensitivity was 81.6%, and the specificity was 57.8%. Conclusions Glucose variability is associated with the risk of delirium in patients after aortic dissection surgery, and high glycemic variability increases the risk of postoperative delirium.

Bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting: propensity analysis of the left internal thoracic artery versus the right internal thoracic artery as a bypass graft to the left anterior descending artery. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2020; 57:701-708.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare different configurations of the bilateral internal thoracic arteries for the left coronary system and examine early and late outcomes, including mid-term graft patency. METHODS We reviewed 877 patients who underwent primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting using in situ bilateral internal thoracic arteries [in situ right internal thoracic artery (RITA)-to-left anterior descending artery (LAD) grafting, n = 683; in situ left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-LAD grafting, n = 194]. We compared mid-term patency between the grafts. Propensity score matching was performed to investigate early and long-term outcomes. RESULTS The 2-year patency rate for RITA-to-LAD and LITA-to-LAD grafts were similar. Multivariate analysis revealed that RITA-to-non-LAD anastomosis (P = 0.029), postoperative length of stay (P = 0.003) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P = 0.005) were associated with graft failure. After statistical adjustment, 176 propensity-matched pairs were available for comparison. RITA-to-LAD grafting enabled a more distal anastomosis. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the incidences of death, repeat revascularization and myocardial infarction were significantly higher in the LITA-to-LAD group among both the unmatched and matched samples (P = 0.045 and 0.029, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The mid-term patency and outcomes of RITA-to-LAD grafting are good and reduces future cardiac event, in contrast to LITA-to-LAD grafting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Conventional cardiopulmonary bypass is the most commonly used means of artificial circulation in cardiac surgery. However, it suffers from the effects of haemodilution and activation of inflammatory/coagulation cascades. Prime displacement (PD) can offset haemodilution and mini-extracorporeal technology (MIECT) can offset both. So far, no study has compared all of these modalities together; hence, we compared the outcomes of these 3 modalities at our institution. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of our cardiac surgical database. A total of 9626 patients underwent conventional bypass (CB), 3125 patients underwent a modification of CB, called PD, and 904 underwent MIECT. A 1:1 propensity-matching algorithm was employed using IBM SPSS 24 to match (i) 813 MIECT patients with 813 CB patients and (ii) 717 MIECT patients with 717 PD patients. The patients included coronary artery bypass grafting and valve surgery. RESULTS MIECT had significantly (P < 0.05) longer bypass and cross-clamp times compared to CB and PD. MIECT had significantly higher rates of postoperative atrial fibrillation associated with it compared to CB. The mean red cell blood transfusion was significantly lower in the MIECT group compared to the CB group as was the mean platelet transfusion and fresh frozen plasma transfusion. The overall 5-year survival was higher in the MIECT group compared to the CB group (log-rank, P = 0.018). Between the MIECT and the PD groups, we found the incidence of renal failure and gastrointestinal complications to be significantly higher in the PD group compared to the MIECT group. CONCLUSIONS MIECT has short-term advantages over CB and PD. However, due to the retrospective limitations of the study, including calendar time bias, a multicentre randomized controlled trial comparing all 3 modalities will be beneficial for the larger cardiac community.

Impact of post-procedural glycemic variability on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a post hoc cohort analysis. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2019; 18:27. [PMID: 30857532 PMCID: PMC6410509 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-019-0831-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2018] [Accepted: 02/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Glycemic variability is associated with worse outcomes after cardiac surgery, but the prognosis value of early glycemic variability after transcatheter aortic valve implantation is not known. This study was therefore designed to analyze the prognosis significance of post-procedural glycemic variability within 30 days after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Methods A post hoc analysis of patients from our center included in the FRANCE and FRANCE-2 registries was conducted. Post-procedural glycemic variability was assessed by calculating the mean daily δ blood glucose during the first 2 days after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Major complications within 30 days were death, stroke, myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, and life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Results We analyzed 160 patients (age (median [interquartile] = 84 [80–88] years; diabetes mellitus (n) = 41 (26%) patients; logistic Euroscore = 20 [12–32]). The median value of mean daily δ blood glucose was 4.3 mmol l−1. The rate of major complications within 30 days after procedure among patients with the lowest quartile of glycemic variability was 12%, increasing from 12 to 26%, and 39% in the second, third, and fourth quartiles, respectively. In multivariate analysis, glycemic variability was independently associated with an increased risk of major complications within 30 days after the procedure (odds ratio [95% CI] = 1.83 [1.19–2.83]; p = 0.006). Conclusions This study showed that post-procedural glycemic variability was associated with an increased risk of major complications within 30 days after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Abstract
Background: Arterial grafts had better mid-term and long-term patency than saphenous vein grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We summarized our experience with total arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) and assessed the early clinical results, surgical complications, and follow-up. Methods: From January 2007 to May 2017, 508 coronary artery disease patients undergoing total arterial OPCAB were enrolled. Clinical features, approaches, outcomes of surgical treatments, and follow-up data of these patients were studied retrospectively. A total of 122 patients underwent single left internal mammary artery (IMA)-left anterior descending artery grafts, whereas the other 386 patients underwent multiple vessel grafts. Results: The average distal anastomosis was 2.34 ± 0.97 (range: 1–4). All the patients were discharged from hospital except one died. A total of 457 (90.32%) patients were followed up. In the 4-, 7-, and 10-year follow-up groups, the rate of death from any cause was 1.19%, 6.47%, and 10.67%; rate of cardiac death was 0.60%, 2.88%, and 3.33%; rate of repeat revascularization was 0.00%, 3.60%, and 8.67%; rate of ischemic symptoms was 1.79%, 7.91%, and 11.33%; and incidence of stroke was 2.38%, 4.32%, and 6.67%, respectively. Poor medication adherence was observed in 9.38% of the follow-up population. Conclusions: Total arterial OPCAB with bilateral IMA, radial artery, and right gastroepiploic artery grafting yielded satisfactory early and midterm outcomes in this patient group, without a significant increase in early mortality or morbidity. Moreover, the long-term outcomes are also positive.

Abstract
Introduction No uniform consensus in the UK or Europe exists, for glycaemic management of patients with Diabetes or pre-diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery. Objective [i] Determine the relationship between glycaemic control and cardiac surgical outcomes; [ii] Compare current vs gold standard management of patients with Diabetes or pre-diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Searches of MEDLINE, NHS Evidence and Web of Science databases were completed. Articles were limited to those in English, German and French. No date limit was enforced.13,232 articles were identified on initial literature review, and 50 relevant papers included in this review. Results No national standards for glycaemic control prior to cardiac surgery were identified. Upto 30% of cardiac surgical patients have undiagnosed Diabetes. Cardiac surgical patients without Diabetes with pre-operative hyperglycaemia have a 1 year mortality double that of patients with normoglyacemia, and equivalent to patients already diagnosed with Diabetes. Pre- and peri-operative hyperglycaemia is associated with worse outcomes. Evidence regarding tight glycaemic control vs moderate glycaemic control is conflicting. Tight control may be more effective in patients without Diabetes with pre−/peri-operative hyperglycaemia, and moderate control appears more effective in patients with pre-existing Diabetes. Patients with well controlled Diabetes may achieve comparable outcomes to patients without Diabetes with similar glycaemic control. Conclusions Pre / peri-operative hyperglycaemia is associated with worse outcomes in both patients with, and without Diabetes undergoing CABG. This review supports the pre-operative screening, and optimisation of glycaemic control in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Optimal glycaemic management remains unclear and clear guidelines are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE This purpose of this prospective study was to use a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system to evaluate the suitability of our institution's glucose management protocol after cardiovascular surgery and to clarify the impact of glycemic variability on postoperative complications. METHODS In all, 76 patients who underwent elective cardiovascular surgery and were monitored perioperatively using a CGM system were evaluated. Postoperative glucose management consisted of continuous intravenous insulin infusion (CIII) in the intensive care unit, and subcutaneous insulin injections (SQII) after oral food intake started. CIII and subcutaneous injections were initiated when blood glucose level exceeded 150 mg/dL. CGM data were used to analyze perioperative glycemic variability and association with postoperative complications. RESULTS Target glucose levels (71-180 mg/dL) were achieved during 97.1 ± 5.5% and 86.4 ± 19.0% of the continuous insulin infusion and subcutaneous injection periods, respectively. Major postoperative complications were surgical site infections, found in 6.6% of total patients, and atrial fibrillation, found in 44% of patients with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. High glycemic variability during SQII was associated with increased risk for both complications. CONCLUSION Data analysis revealed that our glucose management protocol during CIII was adequate. However, the management protocol during SQII required improvement.

Basal insulin therapy is associated with beneficial effects on postoperative infective complications, independently from circulating glucose levels in patients admitted for cardiac surgery. JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL ENDOCRINOLOGY 2017; 7:47-53. [PMID: 29067250 PMCID: PMC5651296 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcte.2017.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2016] [Revised: 01/23/2017] [Accepted: 01/31/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The effect of insulin per se on infective complications during cardiac surgery was evaluated. Eight hundred twelve patients were included. Insulin therapy decreased infections independently from glycemic levels. Basal + premeal insulin therapy is well tolerated without severe hypoglycemia cases.
Background Although hyperglycemia is a strong predictor of postoperative infective complications (PIC), little is known about the effect of basal insulin therapy (BIT) per se on PIC. Aim To evaluate if there is an association between BIT, independent of glucose levels, and a possible improvement of PIC during the perioperative cardiosurgery period (PCP). Methods In 812 patients admitted for cardiac intervention and treated with a continuous intravenous insulin infusion (CIII) for hyperglycemic levels (>130 mg/dl), a retrospective analysis was performed during the PCP (January 2009–December 2011). Upon transfer to the cardiac surgery division, if fasting glucose was ≥130 mg/dl, a basal + premeal insulin therapy was initiated (121 patients, group 1); for <130 mg/dl, a premeal insulin alone was initiated (691 patients, group 2). Findings Compared with group 2, group 1 showed reductions in PIC (2.48% vs 7.96%, p < 0.049; odds ratio: 0.294; 95% CI: 0.110–0.780), C-Reactive Protein (p < 0.05) and white blood cell (p < 0.05) levels despite glucose levels and CIII that were higher during the first two days after surgery (179.8 ± 25.3 vs 169.5 ± 10.6 mg/dl, p < 0.01; 0.046 ± 0.008 vs 0.037 ± 0.015 U/kg/h, p < 0.05, respectively). Normal glucose levels were achieved in both groups from day 3 before the discharge. The mean length of hospital duration was 18% lower in group 1 than in group 2 (7.21 ± 05.08 vs 8.76 ± 9.08 days, p < 0.007), providing a significant impact on public health costs. Conclusions Basal + preprandial insulin therapy was associated with a lower frequency of PIC than preprandial insulin therapy alone, suggesting a beneficial effect of basal insulin therapy on post-surgery outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafting is performed with increasing regularity in elderly patients, whether it is truly beneficial, and therefore indicated, in these patients remains uncertain. We retrospectively investigated early and late outcomes of BIMA grafting in patients aged ≥75 years. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified 460 patients aged ≥75 years from among 2,618 patients who underwent either single internal mammary artery (SIMA) grafting (n=293) or BIMA grafting (n=107). Early outcomes did not differ between the SIMA and BIMA patients (30-day mortality: 1.7% vs. 0%, P=0.39; sternal wound infection: 1.0% vs. 4.7%; P=0.057). Late outcomes, 10-year survival in particular, were improved in the BIMA group (36.6% vs. 48.1%, P=0.033). In the analysis of the results in propensity score-matched groups (196 patients in the SIMA group, 98 patients in the BIMA group), improved 10-year survival was documented in the BIMA group (34.8% vs. 47.6%, P=0.030). Cox proportional regression analysis showed SIMA usage (non-use of BIMA) to be a predictor for late mortality (hazard ratio: 0.65, 95% confidence interval: 0.43-0.98, P=0.042). We further compared outcomes between the total non-elderly patients (n=2,158) and total elderly patients (n=460). BIMA usage was similar, as was 30-day mortality (1.0% vs. 1.3%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS A survival advantage, with no increase in early mortality, can be expected from BIMA grafting in patients aged ≥75 years. (Circ J 2016; 80: 1756-1763).

Abstract
Despite many advances in prevention and perioperative care, deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) remains a pressing concern in cardiac surgery, with a still relevant incidence and with a considerable impact on in-hospital mortality and also on mid- and long-term survival. The permanent high impact of this complication is partially related to the increasing proportion of patients at high-risk for infection, as well as to the many patient and surgical risk factors involved in the pathogenesis of DSWI. The prophylactic antibiotic therapy is one of the most important tools in the prevention of DSWI. However, the choice of antibiotic, the dose, the duration, the adequate levels in serum and tissue, and the timing of antimicrobial prophylaxis are still controversial. The treatment of DSWI ranges from surgical revision with primary closure to surgical revision with open dressings or closed irrigation, from reconstruction with soft tissue flaps to negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). However, to date, there have been no accepted recommendations regarding the best management of DSWI. Emerging evidence in the literature has validated the efficacy and safety of NPWT either as a single-line therapy, or as a “bridge” prior to final surgical closure. In conclusion, the careful control of patient and surgical risk factors - when possible, the proper antimicrobial prophylaxis, and the choice of validated techniques of treatment could contribute to keep DSWIs at a minimal rate.
