Abstract
OBJECTIVE Delayed neurocognitive recovery (dNCR) remains a common complication after surgery and the incidence of it is determined 30-80% after cardiac surgery with cardiac bypass (CPB) in eldery patients. Many researchers have identified that neuropsychological complications emerge from insufficient cerebral perfusion. Relative cerebral hyperperfusion also disrupts cerebral autoregulation and might play a significant role in dNCR development. The aim of this study is to determine hyperperfusion in the middle cerebral artery during CPB influence to dNCR development and brain biomarker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) impact in diagnosing dNCR. DESIGNS AND METHODS This prospective - case control study included patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting or/and valve surgery with CPB. For cognitive evaluation 101 patients completed Addenbrooke's cognitive examination - ACE-III. To determine mild cognitive dysfunction, cut - off 88 was chosen. Mean BFV was monitored with transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and performed before surgery, after induction of anaesthesia, during CPB and after surgery. Preoperative BFV was converted to 100% and used as a baseline. The percentage change of cerebral blood flow velocity during CPB was calculated from baseline. Patients with decreased blood flow velocity were included for further investigation. To measure glial fibrillary acidic protein, blood samples were collected after anaesthesia induction, 24 and 48 h after the surgery. According to the ACE-III test results, patients with relative hyperperfusion were divided into two groups: with Delayed neurocognitive recovery and without dNCR (non-dNCR group). RESULTS 101 patients were examined, 67 (69.1%) men and 29 (29.9%) women, age 67.9 (SD 9.2) Increased percentage of BFV was determined for 40 (39.60%) patients. There were no differences in sex, haematocrit, paCO2, aortic cross-clamping or CPB time between the two groups. Percentage change of BFV was 105.60% in the non-dNCR group and 132.29% in the dNCR group, p = .033. Patients who developed dNCR in the early post-surgical period were significantly older, p < .001 and had a lower baseline of BFV, p = .004. GFAP concentration significantly increased in the dNCR group 48 hours after surgery, compared to the non-dNCR group, p = .01. CONCLUSIONS Relative hyperperfusion during CPB may cause dNCR. Elderly patients are sensitive to blood flow velocity acceleration during CPB. GFAP concentration increased 48 h after surgery in dNCR group but did not have any connection with risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Numerous investigators have theorized that postoperative changes in Alzheimer's disease neuropathology may underlie postoperative neurocognitive disorders. Thus, we determined the relationship between postoperative changes in cognition and cerebrospinal (CSF) tau, p-tau-181p, or Aβ levels after non-cardiac, non-neurologic surgery in older adults. METHODS Participants underwent cognitive testing before and 6 weeks after surgery, and lumbar punctures before, 24 h after, and 6 weeks after surgery. Cognitive scores were combined via factor analysis into an overall cognitive index. In total, 110 patients returned for 6-week postoperative testing and were included in the analysis. RESULTS There was no significant change from before to 24 h or 6 weeks following surgery in CSF tau (median [median absolute deviation] change before to 24 h: 0.00 [4.36] pg/mL, p = 0.853; change before to 6 weeks: -1.21 [3.98] pg/mL, p = 0.827). There were also no significant changes in CSF p-tau-181p or Aβ over this period. There was no change in cognitive index (mean [95% CI] 0.040 [-0.018, 0.098], p = 0.175) from before to 6 weeks after surgery, although there were postoperative declines in verbal memory (-0.346 [-0.523, -0.170], p = 0.003) and improvements in executive function (0.394, [0.310, 0.479], p < 0.001). There were no significant correlations between preoperative to 6-week postoperative changes in cognition and CSF tau, p-tau-181p, or Aβ42 changes over this interval (p > 0.05 for each). INTERPRETATION Neurocognitive changes after non-cardiac, non-neurologic surgery in the majority of cognitively healthy, community-dwelling older adults are unlikely to be related to postoperative changes in AD neuropathology (as assessed by CSF Aβ, tau or p-tau-181p levels or the p-tau-181p/Aβ or tau/Aβ ratios).

Targeted temperature management in cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis on postoperative cognitive outcomes. Br J Anaesth 2021; 128:11-25. [PMID: 34862000 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2021.09.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative cognitive decline occurs commonly after cardiac surgery. The available literature is inconclusive on the role of intraoperative causal or protective factors. METHODS We systematically reviewed studies evaluating delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR), postoperative neurocognitive disorder (NCD), stroke, and the mortality rates among patients undergoing hypothermic or normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We further performed a subgroup analysis for age, surgery type (coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], valve surgery, or combined), and the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) during CPB, and conducted a proportion meta-analysis after calculation of single proportions and confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS We included a total of 58 studies with 9609 patients in our analysis. Among these, 1906 of 4010 patients (47.5%) had DNR, and 2071 of 7160 (28.9%) had postoperative NCD. Ninety of 4625 patients (2.0%) had a stroke, and 174 of 7589 (2.3%) died. There was no statistically significant relationship between the considered variables and DNR, NCD, stroke, and mortality. In the subgroup analysis comparing hypothermic with normothermic CPB, we found higher NCD rates after combined surgery; for normothermic CPB cases only, the rates of DNR and NCD were lower after combined surgery compared with CABG surgery. A MAP >70 mm Hg compared with MAP=50-70 mm Hg during CPB was associated with a lower rate of DNR. CONCLUSIONS Temperature, MAP during cardiopulmonary bypass age, and surgery type were not associated with neurocognitive disorders, stroke, and mortality in cardiac surgery. Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, particularly when performed with MAP >70 mm Hg, may reduce the risk of postoperative neurocognitive decline after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Neurocognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery can present with diverse clinical phenotypes, which include postoperative delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and stroke, and it presents a significant healthcare burden for both patients and providers. Neurologic monitoring during cardiac surgery includes several modalities assessing cerebral perfusion and oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy, transcranial Doppler and jugular venous bulb saturation monitoring) and those that measure cerebral function (processed and unprocessed electroencephalogram), reflecting an absence of a single, definitive neuromonitor. This narrative review briefly describes the technologic basis of these neuromonitoring modalities, before exploring their use in clinical practice, both as tools to predict neurocognitive dysfunction, and with a bundle of interventions designed to optimize cerebral oxygen supply, with the aim of reducing postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction following cardiac surgery.

Risk Factors for Delayed Neurocognitive Recovery According to Brain Biomarkers and Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56060288. [PMID: 32545416 PMCID: PMC7353900 DOI: 10.3390/medicina56060288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 06/09/2020] [Accepted: 06/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for the development of delayed neurocognitive recovery (dNCR). Methods: 140 patients underwent neurocognitive evaluations (Adenbrooke, MoCa, trial making, and CAM test) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) blood flow velocity (BFV) measurements, one day before cardiac surgery. BFV was re-evaluated after anesthesia induction, before the beginning, middle, end, and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and postsurgery. To measure glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neurofilament heavy chain (Nf-H), blood samples were collected after anesthesia induction, 24 and 48 h after the surgery. Neurocognitive evaluation was repeated 7-10 days after surgery. According to the results, patients were divided into two groups: with dNCR (dNCR group) and without dNCR (non-dNCR group). Results: 101 patients completed participation in this research. GFAP increased in both the non-dNCR group (p < 0.01) and in the dNCR group (p < 0.01), but there was no difference between the groups (after 24 h, p 0.342; after 48 h, p 0.273). Nf-H increased in both groups (p < 0.01), but there was no difference between them (after 24 h, p = 0.240; after 48 h, p = 0.597). MCA BFV was significantly lower in the dNCR group during the bypass (37.13 cm/s SD 7.70 versus 43.40 cm/s SD 9.56; p = 0.001) and after surgery (40.54 cm/s SD 11.21 versus 47.6 cm/s SD 12.01; p = 0.003). Results of neurocognitive tests correlated with CO2 concentration (Pearson's r 0.40, p < 0.01), hematocrit (r 0.42, p < 0.01), MCA BFV during bypass (r 0.41, p < 0.01), and age (r -0.533, p < 0.01). The probability of developing dNCR increases 1.21 times with every one year of increased age (p < 0.01). The probability of developing dNCR increases 1.07 times with a decrease of BFV within 1 cm/s during bypass (p = 0.02). Conclusion: Risk factors contributing to dNCR among the tested patients were older age and middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity decrease during bypass.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare blood flow velocity changes in the middle cerebral artery before, during and after heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass for patients with and without postoperative cognitive dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 patients, undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting or/and valve surgery enrolled in the study. A neurocognitive test evaluation included Adenbrooke, Mini-Mental State Examination and Trial Making test before and 7-10 days after surgery. Middle cerebral artery mean blood flow velocity was evaluated 1 day before the surgery, after anaesthesia induction, before cardiopulmonary bypass, at the beginning, ending and after cardiopulmonary bypass, and post surgery in intensive care unit. Blood samples for glial fibrillary acidic protein were measured after anaesthesia induction, 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery. According to neurocognitive tests results patients were divided in to two groups: patients with and without postoperative cognitive dysfunction. RESULTS Of the 100, 86 patients completed investigation. After induction, blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery was lower in postoperative cognitive dysfunction group (41.2; min 27.91, max 49.47) than in the H group (41.2, min 21.9, max 84.3) p = 0.034, and during cardiopulmonary bypass, blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery was lower in the postoperative cognitive dysfunction group (37.35, min 26.6, max 44.02) than the H group (42.3, min 20.1, max 86.5), p = 0.001. After the surgery, blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery was lower in the postoperative cognitive dysfunction group (40.7, min 29.7, max 50.4) than in the H group (45.3, min 34.12, max 59.88), p = 0.05. Results of cognitive tests had weak correlation (rho, 0.391) with middle cerebral artery's blood flow velocity after anaesthesia induction (p = 0.001) and during bypass (p = 0.018). The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery during bypass (area under the curve = 0.735) was a fair predictor for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (p = 0.001). No significant correlations were found among glial fibrillary acidic protein, middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity, and cognitive tests results. CONCLUSION Middle cerebral artery's blood flow velocity was decreased after anaesthesia induction and during cardiopulmonary bypass for patients with postoperative cognitive dysfunction comparing with their blood flow velocity preoperatively. Blood flow velocity during bypass has diagnostic value for postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Brain biomarker glial fibrillary acidic protein is not helpful in diagnosing postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is commonly used as mechanical support after cardiac surgery or cardiac shock. Although its benefits for cardiac function have been well documented, its effects on cerebral circulation are still controversial. We hypothesized that transfer function analysis (TFA) and continuous estimates of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) provide consistent results in the assessment of cerebral autoregulation in patients with IABP. APPROACH Continuous recordings of blood pressure (BP, intra-arterial line), end-tidal CO2, heart rate and cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV, transcranial Doppler) were obtained (i) 5 min with IABP ratio 1:3, (ii) 5 min, starting 1 min with the IABP-ON, and continuing for another 4 min without pump assistance (IABP-OFF). Autoregulation index (ARI) was estimated from the CBFV response to a step change in BP derived by TFA and as a function of time using an autoregressive moving-average model during removal of the device (ARI t ). Critical closing pressure and resistance area-product were also obtained. MAIN RESULTS ARI with IABP-ON (4.3 ± 1.2) were not different from corresponding values at IABP-OFF (4.7 ± 1.4, p = 0.42). Removal of the balloon had no effect on ARI t , CBFV, BP, cerebral critical closing pressure or resistance area-product. SIGNIFICANCE IABP does not disturb cerebral hemodynamics. TFA and continuous estimates of dynamic CA can be used to assess cerebral hemodynamics in patients with IABP. These findings have important implications for the design of studies of critically ill patients requiring the use of different invasive support devices.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality in elderly patients. There is much interest in and controversy about POCD, reflected partly in the increasing number of articles published on POCD recently. Recent work suggests surgery may also be associated with cognitive improvement in some patients, termed postoperative cognitive improvement (POCI). As the number of surgeries performed worldwide approaches 250 million per year, optimizing postoperative cognitive function and preventing/treating POCD are major public health issues. In this article, we review the literature on POCD and POCI, and discuss current research challenges in this area.

Abstract
Purpose We sought to assess the relation of dietary trans fatty acid (dTFA) consumption to word-memory. Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data from the 1999-2005 UCSD Statin Study. Participants were 1018 adult men and non-procreative women age ≥20 without diagnosed diabetes, CVD, or extreme LDL-cholesterol. Primary analyses focused on men, as only men (N = 694) were effectively represented in younger adult ages. “Recurrent words” assessed word memory. dTFA (grams/day) estimates were calculated from the Fred Hutchinson Food Frequency Questionnaire. Regression, stratified at age 45, assessed the relation between memory and dTFA in various adjustment models. Major findings were replicated in the full sample (including women). Potential mediators were examined. Results An age-by-dTFA interaction was significant. dTFA adversely predicted memory in younger adults (only), robust to adjustment model. Each gram/day dTFA was associated with an estimated 0.76 fewer words recalled (full model) (SE = 0.27, 95%CI = 0.22,1.3, P = 0.006). Adjustment for systolic blood pressure, waist circumference and BMI (but not lipid or glycemic variables) attenuated the relationship, consistent with mediation by factors involving, relating to, or concurrently influencing, these factors. Conclusion Greater dTFA was significantly associated with worse word recall in younger adults. Prooxidant and energetic detriments of dTFA and triangulation with other evidence offer prospects for causality.

Depression is associated with increased vagal withdrawal during unpleasant emotional imagery after cardiac surgery. Auton Neurosci 2015; 189:75-82. [PMID: 25736970 DOI: 10.1016/j.autneu.2015.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2014] [Revised: 11/25/2014] [Accepted: 02/02/2015] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the influence of depression on heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) during emotional imagery in patients after cardiac surgery. METHODS Based on the scores of the Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression (CES-D) scale, 28 patients after cardiac surgery were assigned either to the group with depression (CES-D scores ≥ 16; N = 14) or the one without depression (CES-D scores<16; N = 14). Each patient completed a rest period and an emotional imagery including pleasant, neutral and unpleasant scripts. Inter-beat intervals (IBIs) and HRV were measured during the entire protocol. RESULTS Compared to nondepressed patients, those with depression had greater reductions in high frequency expressed in normalized units (HF n.u.) during the imaging of the unpleasant script (p = .003, Cohen's d = 1.34). Moreover, HF n.u. were lower during the imaging of the unpleasant script than the pleasant one in depressed patients only (p = .020, Cohen's d = 0.55). CES-D scores were also inversely correlated with residualized changes in IBIs (r = -.38, p = .045) and HF n.u. (r = -.49, p = .008) from rest to the imaging of the unpleasant script. CONCLUSIONS The relationship between depression and increased vagal withdrawal during unpleasant emotional imagery extends to patients after cardiac surgery. The present study suggests that increased vagal withdrawal to negative emotions in patients after cardiac surgery may mediate the conferral of cardiac risk by depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether preexisting cognitive status rather than short- and middle-term postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) may differentially account for behavioral functional capacity 3 months after cardiac surgery. METHOD Seventy-nine patients completed a psychological evaluation, including the Trail Making Test Part B, the memory with 10-s interference, the phonemic fluency and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) questionnaire for cognitive functions and behavioral functional capacity, respectively, before surgery, at discharge and at 3-month follow-up. RESULTS Thirty-one (39%) and 22 (28%) patients showed POCD at discharge and at 3-month follow-up, respectively. Preoperative cognitive status was significantly associated with change in behavioral functional capacity 3 months after surgery (Ps<.003), whereas short- and middle-term POCD and intraoperative risk factors were unrelated to residualized change in IADLs scores (all Ps>.095). CONCLUSIONS Preexisting cognitive deficit, especially working memory deficit, rather than short- and middle-term POCD related to intraoperative risk factors is associated with poor behavioral functional capacity 3 months after cardiac surgery. The present study therefore suggests that a preoperative cognitive evaluation is essential to anticipate which patients are likely to show a decline in behavioral functional capacity after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
As increasing numbers of elderly people undergo cardiac surgery, neurologists are frequently called upon to assess patients with neurological complications from the procedure. Some complications mandate acute intervention, whereas others need longer term observation and management. A large amount of published literature exists about these complications and guidance on best practice is constantly changing. Similarly, despite technological advances in surgical intervention and modifications in surgical technique to make cardiac procedures safer, these advances often create new avenues for neurological injury. Accordingly, rapid and precise neurological assessment and therapeutic intervention rests on a solid understanding of the evidence base and procedural variables.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether preoperative psychological dysfunctions rather than intraoperative factors may differentially predict short- and long-term postoperative cognitive decline (POCD) in patients after cardiac surgery. METHOD Forty-two patients completed a psychological evaluation, including the Trail Making Test Part A and B (TMT-A/B), the memory with 10/30-s interference, the phonemic verbal fluency and the Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression (CES-D) scale for cognitive functions and depressive symptoms, respectively, before surgery, at discharge and at 18-month follow-up. RESULTS Ten (24%) and 11 (26%) patients showed POCD at discharge and at 18-month follow-up, respectively. The duration of cardiopulmonary bypass significantly predicted short-term POCD [odds ratio (OR)=1.04, P<.05], whereas preoperative psychological factors were unrelated to cognitive decline at discharge. Conversely, long-term cognitive decline after cardiac surgery was significantly predicted by preoperative scores in the CES-D (OR=1.26, P<.03) but not by intraoperative variables (all Ps >.23). CONCLUSIONS Our findings showed that preexisting depressive symptoms rather than perioperative risk factors are associated with cognitive decline 18 months after cardiac surgery. This study suggests that a preoperative psychological evaluation of depressive symptoms is essential to anticipate which patients are likely to show long-term cognitive decline after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a lifesaving practice in cardiac surgery, but its use frequently is associated with cerebral injury and neurocognitive dysfunctions. Despite the involvement of numerous factors, microembolism occurring during CPB seems to be one of the main mechanisms leading to such alterations. The aim of the present study was to characterize the occurrence of cerebral microembolism with reference to microembolic amount, nature, and distribution in different combinations of cardiac procedures and CPB on the microembolic load. DESIGN A retrospective observational clinical study. SETTING A single-center regional hospital. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-five patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with CPB. INTERVENTIONS Bilateral detection of the patients' middle cerebral arteries using a multifrequency transcranial Doppler. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the CPB circuit used (open, open with vacuum, or closed). There was a significant difference between the number of solid and gaseous microemboli (p<0.001), with the solid lower than the gaseous ones. The number of solid microemboli was affected by group (p< 0.05), CPB phase (p<0.001), and laterality (p<0.01). The number of gaseous microemboli was affected only by group (p<0.05) and CPB phase (p<0.001). Generally, the length of CPB phase did not affect the number of microemboli. CONCLUSIONS Surgical procedures combined with CPB circuits, but not the CPB phase length, affected the occurrence, nature, and laterality of microemboli.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective was to examine whether preexisting cognitive function rather than cognitive decline associated with intraoperative procedures may predict change in behavioral functional capacity in patients 1 year after cardiac surgery. METHOD Forty-five patients completed a cognitive evaluation, including the Trail Making Test part B (TMT-B) for attention and psychomotor speed, the Memory with 10-s interference for working memory, the Digit Span test for short-term memory and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) questionnaire for behavioral functional capacity, before surgery and 1 year after cardiac surgery. RESULTS Sixteen patients (36%) exhibited cognitive decline after cardiac surgery. Preoperative scores on TMT-B significantly predicted change in behavioral functional capacity as measured by IADLs (beta = 0.371, P < .05), whereas the postoperative cognitive decline and intraoperative variables were unrelated to residualized change scores in IADLs (all Ps > .08). CONCLUSIONS Preexisting cognitive dysfunctions as assessed by TMT-B can be a marker of preoperative brain dysfunction, which, in turn, in addition to brain damage caused by cardiac surgery procedures, may further predispose patients to poor behavioral functional capacity and outcome 1 year after surgery. Impaired cognitive functions before surgery should be considered when evaluating the effects of cardiac surgery procedures on long-term behavioral functional status of patients.
