Br J Anaesth 2024; 133:288-295. [PMID: 38789363 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2024.04.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the effects of maintaining beta-blockers on the day of surgery on the incidence of atrial fibrillation and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS We conducted a multicentre prospective observational study with propensity matching on patients treated with beta-blockers. We collected their baseline patient characteristics, comorbidities, and operative and postoperative outcomes. The endpoints were postoperative atrial fibrillation and AKI after cardiac surgery. RESULTS Of the 1789 included patients, propensity matching led to 583 patients in each group. Maintenance of beta-blockers was not associated with a reduced risk of atrial fibrillation (odds ratio: 0.86 [95% confidence interval 0.66-1.14], P=0.335; 141 patients [24.2%] vs 126 patients [21.6%]). Sensitivity analysis did not demonstrate association between beta-blocker maintenance and atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery (odds ratio: 0.93 [95% confidence interval: 0.72-1.22], P=0.625). Maintenance of beta-blockers was associated with a higher rate of norepinephrine use (415 [71.2%] vs 465 [79.8%], P=0.0001) and postoperative AKI (124 [21.3%] vs 159 [27.3%], P=0.0127). No statistically significant difference was observed in ICU length of stay. CONCLUSIONS Maintenance of beta-blockers on the day of surgery was not associated with a reduced incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation. However, maintenance of beta-blockers was associated with increased usage of vasopressors, potentially contributing to adverse postoperative renal events. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04769752.

Abstract
This article reviews medical and surgical risk factors for developing atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained dysrhythmia in the United States. Evidence for assessment and management of patients with AF, including AF newly identified in the preoperative clinic, immediately preoperatively, intraoperatively, and unstable AF, is presented. A stepwise approach to guide anesthetic decision-making in the assessment of newly identified preoperative AF is proposed. Anesthetic considerations, including the potential impacts of anesthetic and vasopressor selection, and current evidence related to rate control and rhythm control via pharmacologic or electrical cardioversion as well as anticoagulation strategies are discussed.

Impact of Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Surgical Site Infections in Cardiac Surgery. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12010085. [PMID: 36671286 PMCID: PMC9854463 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12010085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Cephalosporins (CA) are the first-line antibiotic prophylaxis recommended to prevent surgical site infection (SSI) after cardiac surgery. The combination of vancomycin/gentamicin (VGA) might represent a good alternative, but few studies have evaluated its efficacy in SSI prevention. (2) Methods: A single-centre retrospective study was conducted over a 13-year period in all consecutive adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Patients were stratified according to the type of antibiotic prophylaxis. CA served as the first-line prophylaxis, and VGA was used as the second-line prophylaxis. The primary endpoint was SSI occurrence at 90 days, which was defined as the need for reoperation due to SSI. (3) Results: In total, 14,960 adult patients treated consecutively from 2006 to 2019 were included in this study, of whom 1774 (12%) received VGA and 540 (3.7%) developed SSI. VGA patients had higher severity with increased 90-day mortality. Nevertheless, the frequency of SSI was similar between CA and VGA patients. However, the microbiological aetiologies were different, with more Gram-negative bacteria noted in the VGA group. (4) Conclusions: VGA seems to be as effective as CA in preventing SSI.

Alteration of Relative Rates of Biodegradation and Regeneration of Cervical Spine Cartilage through the Restoration of Arterial Blood Flow Access to Rhomboid Fossa: A Hypothesis. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13234248. [PMID: 34883749 PMCID: PMC8659970 DOI: 10.3390/polym13234248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
We found the logical way to prove the existence of the mechanism that maintains the rates of biodegradation and regeneration of cervical spine cartilage. We demonstrate, that after we restore access to arterial blood flow through cervical vertebral arteries to rhomboid fossa it causes the prevalence of regeneration over biodegradation. This is in the frames of consideration of the human body as a dissipative structure. Then the recovery of the body should be considered as a reduction of the relative rates of decay below the regeneration ones. Then the recovery of cervical spine cartilage through redirecting of inner dissipative flow depends on the information about oxygen availability that is provided from oxygen detectors in the rhomboid fossa to the cerebellum. Our proposed approach explains already collected data, which satisfies all the scientific requirements. This allows us to draw conclusions that permit reconsidering the way of dealing with multiple chronic diseases.

Abstract
The Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, in partnership with The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, has developed the Adult Cardiac Anesthesiology Section of the Adult Cardiac Surgery Database. The goal of this landmark collaboration is to advance clinical care, quality, and knowledge, and to demonstrate the value of cardiac anesthesiology in the perioperative care of cardiac surgical patients. Participation in the Adult Cardiac Anesthesiology Section has been optional since its inception in 2014 but has progressively increased. Opportunities for further growth and improvement remain. In this first update report on quality and outcomes of the Adult Cardiac Anesthesiology Section, we present an overview of the clinically significant anesthesia and surgical variables submitted between 2015 and 2018. Our review provides a summary of quality measures and outcomes related to the current practice of cardiothoracic anesthesiology. We also emphasize the potential for addressing high-impact research questions as data accumulate, with the overall goal of elucidating the influence of cardiac anesthesiology contributions to patient outcomes within the framework of the cardiac surgical team.
