Cancer Treat Res Commun 2022; 33:100653. [PMID: 36327575 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctarc.2022.100653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It may be necessary to admit patients receiving Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) to the intensive care unit (ICU). They were required to evaluate the length of ICU stay (LOS) following HIPEC, as well as their survival rates and risk factors that influence LOS. METHODS 74 HIPEC patients were observed after being admitted to the ICU. Their assignments were made based on their LOS at the ICU. Short stay group, patients who stayed in the ICU for three days or less (S-group) and patients who stayed for three days or longer (L-group). RESULTS Survival rates for both groups were comparable. After HIPEC, they exhibited intraoperative hypotension (P = 0.015), hyopthermia (P = 0.014), and hyperglycemia (P = 0.010). Additionally, patients in group L underwent longer surgeries (P = 0.013), lost more blood (P = 0.043), and required more transfusions (P = 0.001). Subjects in group-L had higher SOFA, fentanyl, and vasopressor requirements (all P 0.001), higher ALT and AST levels, disrupted K, lower Na, and higher INR levels (all P 0.001), as well as a higher APACHE II score (P = 0.007). Preoperative BUN had an independent risk factor for LOS of 0.861; (95% CI), (0.742- 0.999); P = 0.048; and crystalloid transfusion had an independent risk factor of 1.000; (95% CI), (0.999- 1.000); P = 0.003. CONCLUSIONS Transfusions of crystalloids and BUN were independent risk factors for extended LOS. ICU LOS had no impact on survival. All measures should be taken to control hemostasis in vulnerable HIPEC participants.

Abstract
There are many challenges in caring for the postsurgical patient in the intensive care unit. When the postsurgical patient has an active malignancy, this can make the intensive care unit care more challenging. Nutrition, infection, and the need for postoperative mechanical ventilatory support for the patient with cancer present challenges that may increase the patient's length of stay in the intensive care unit. Critical care nurses must be aware of these challenges as they provide care to this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the incidence of intra-operative metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities and subsequent impact on peri-operative outcomes in women with gynecologic cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC). METHODS An IRB-approved single institution retrospective cohort study was performed in women with gynecologic cancer who underwent CRS + HIPEC. Patient demographics, intra-operative electrolyte and metabolic values and peri-operative outcomes were recorded. To assess the association of pH and lactate upon post-operative outcomes, patients were divided in four quartiles for both variables and univariate analysis was performed. RESULTS 100 consecutive women who underwent CRS + HIPEC from 2017 to 2020 were identified. Intra-operative blood transfusion and pressor support were required in 40% and 86%, respectively. The rate of ICU admission was 17%. Longer operative time (7.0 vs. 5.3 h, p = 0.002), increased blood loss (400.0 vs. 200.0 mL, p = 0.02) and transfusion (70.6% vs. 34.1%, p = 0.005) were associated with ICU admission. Compared to patients in the highest quartile of pH, lower median pH, (7.211 vs. 7.349, p < 0.001) was associated with increased rates of ICU admission, prolonged intubation (36.0% vs. 0.0%, p < 0.05, respectively) and any post-operative complication (72.0% vs. 28.0%, p = 0.01). Similarly, need for prolonged intubation (40% vs. 0%, p = 0.04) and VTE (13.0% vs. 0%, p = 0.01) were increased in women with the highest quartile of lactate levels compared to the lowest (4.7 vs 1.9, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Intra-operative acidosis is associated with higher incidence of ICU admission and peri-operative complications following CRS + HIPEC in women with gynecologic cancer. These data support the importance of adequate intra-operative resuscitation and timely correction of hemodynamic and metabolic abnormalities.

Evidence-Based Strategies for the Treatment of Peritoneal Malignancies during Health Care Resource Restriction: The COVID-19 Pandemic. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 28:40-51. [PMID: 33704173 PMCID: PMC7816179 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol28010006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Revised: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on hospital resources, and has affected all aspects of patient care. As operative volumes decrease, cancer surgeries must be triaged and prioritized with careful thought and attention to ensure maximal benefit for the maximum number of patients. Peritoneal malignancies present a unique challenge, as surgical management can be resource intensive, but patients have limited non-surgical treatment options. This review summarizes current data on outcomes and resource utilization to help inform decision-making and case prioritization in times of constrained health care resources. Methods: A rapid literature review was performed, examining surgical and non-surgical outcomes data for peritoneal malignancies. Narrative data synthesis was cross-referenced with relevant societal guidelines. Peritoneal malignancy surgeons and medical oncologists reviewed recommendations to establish a national perspective on case triage and mitigating treatment strategies. Results and Conclusions: Triage of peritoneal malignancies during this time of restricted health care resource is nuanced and requires multidisciplinary discussion with consideration of individual patient factors. Prioritization should be given to patients where delay may compromise resectability of disease, and where alternative treatment options are lacking. Mitigating strategies such as systemic chemotherapy and/or surgical deferral may be utilized with close surveillance for disease stability or progression, which may affect surgical urgency. Unique hospital capacity, and ability to manage the complex post-operative course for these patients must also be considered to ensure patient and system needs are aligned.

Abstract
AIM To study the early postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) management and complications in the first 2 wk of patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
METHODS Our study is a retrospective, observational study performed at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, quaternary care hospital in New York City. All adult patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2012 and admitted to ICU postoperatively were studied. Fifty-one patients came to the ICU postoperatively out of 170 who underwent CRS and HIPEC therapy during the study period. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics.
RESULTS Of the 170 patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC therapy, 51 (30%) came to the ICU postoperatively. Mean ICU length of stay was 4 d (range 1-60 d) and mean APACHE II score was 15 (range 7-23). Thirty-one/fifty-one (62%) patients developed postoperative complications. Aggressive intraoperative and postoperative fluid resuscitation is required in most patients. Hypovolemia was seen in all patients and median amount of fluids required in the first 48 h was 6 L (range 1-14 L). Thirteen patients (25%) developed postoperative hypotension with seven requiring vasopressor support. The major cause of sepsis was intraabdominal, with 8 (15%) developing anastomotic leaks and 5 (10%) developing intraabdominal abscess. The median survival was 14 mo with 30 d mortality of 4% (2/51) and 90 d mortality of 16% (8/51). One year survival was 56.4% (28/51). Preoperative medical co morbidities, extent of surgical debulking, intraoperative blood losses, amount of intra op blood products required and total operative time are the factors to be considered while deciding ICU vs non ICU admission.
CONCLUSION Overall, ICU outcomes of this study population are excellent. Triage of these patients should consider preoperative and intraoperative factors. Intensivists should be vigilant to aggressive postop fluid resuscitation, pain control and early detection and management of surgical complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Routine postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) observation of patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is driven by historically reported morbidity and mortality data. The validity of this practice and the criteria for ICU admission have not been elucidated. METHODS A prospectively maintained database of 1146 CRS/HIPEC procedures performed from December 1991 to 2014 was retrospectively analyzed. Patients with routine postoperative ICU admission were compared with patients sent directly to the surgical floor. To test the safety of non-ICU care practice, patients with less than 48 h ICU admission were compared with patients directly admitted to the floor. Demographics, primary tumor site, comorbidities, estimated blood loss (EBL), extent of CRS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status, and overall survival were analyzed. RESULTS Complete data were available for 1064 CRS/HIPEC procedures, of which 244 cases (22.93 %) did not require ICU admission. Multivariate logistic regression identified age [odds ratio (OR) 1.024; p = 0.02], EBL (OR 1.002; p < 0.0001), number of resected organs (OR 1.308; p = 0.01) and ECOG > 2 (OR 6.387; p = 0.003) as predictive variables of postoperative ICU admission. The cohort directly admitted to the floor demonstrated less minor grade I/II morbidity (29 vs. 47 %; p < 0.0001) and similar grade III/IV major morbidity (16.5 vs. 13.4 %; p = 0.3) than the patients admitted to the ICU for less than 48 h. CONCLUSIONS ICU observation is not routinely required for all patients treated with CRS/HIPEC. Selective ICU admission based on ECOG status, nutritional status, age, EBL, and CRS extent is safe, with potential implications for hospitalization cost for these complex cases.

Abstract
Background. Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is associated with a poor prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HIPEC play an important role in well-selected patients with PC. The aim of the study is to present the differences in the intraoperative parameters in patients who received HIPEC in two different manners, open versus closed abdomen. Patients and Methods. The population includes 105 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal, gastric, and ovarian cancer, sarcoma, mesothelioma, and pseudomyxoma peritonei. Group A (n = 60) received HIPEC using the open technique and Group B (n = 45) received HIPEC with the closed technique. The main end points were morbidity, mortality, and overall hospital stay. Results. There were two postoperative deaths (3.3%) in the open group versus no deaths in the closed group. Twenty-two patients in the open group (55%) had grade III-IV complications versus 18 patients in the closed group (40%). There are more stable intraoperative conditions in the closed abdomen HIPEC in CVP, pulse rate, and systolic pressure parameters. Conclusions. Both methods are equal in the HIPEC procedures. Perhaps the closed method is the method of choice for frail patients due to more stable hemodynamic parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an intriguing method of delivery wherein the cytotoxic agent is continuously heated and circulated throughout the peritoneum in an attempt to bolster drug efficacy. Despite HIPEC's potential, ascertaining the optimal dose without compromising patient tolerability remains indeterminate. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 52 advanced stage ovarian cancer patients who were treated with consolidation HIPEC with carboplatin at varying doses (e.g., AUC 6, 8 or 10) subsequent to optimal debulking surgery and the attainment of a clinical complete response to their primary chemotherapy regimen. The following patient and operative characteristics were abstracted: demographics, surgery and pathology data, chemotherapy regimen, intraoperative results, toxicity, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay and survival data. RESULTS Twelve patients received HIPEC carboplatin at an AUC 6, 15 subjects were treated with carboplatin at an AUC 8 and 25 underwent carboplatin at an AUC 10. There were no intraoperative complications during the administration of HIPEC; mean estimated blood loss was 50 mL and length of hospital stay was 1.65 days. In the overall study population, 5 patients developed grade 3/4 anemia and 33 subjects exhibited grade ≤2 thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. Thirteen patients also developed grade ≤2 nausea on postoperative day 1, which was successfully addressed with anti-emetic therapy; there were no hospital readmissions. CONCLUSIONS The results from the current evaluation suggest that consolidation hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with carboplatin is both feasible and reasonably tolerated, even at an AUC of 10. However, additional, randomized study of this procedure incorporating chemotherapy dose escalation with a more extensive patient population is warranted.
