Dezfouly MA, Jeewa A, Maurich A, Honjo O, Pidborochynski T, Buchholz H, Conway J. Nutritional status and cannula infections in pediatric patients on ventricular assist device support. Artif Organs 2024; 48:1190-1199. [PMID: 38884381 DOI: 10.1111/aor.14810] [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: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are used to bridge pediatric patients to heart transplantation. Paracorporeal VADs require the placement of cannulas, which can create an environment for infections. We examined cannula infections in pediatric VAD patients and the role of nutritional status. METHODS This retrospective study (2005-2021) included patients <20 years old on VAD support using Berlin Heart EXCOR® cannulas. Cannula infections were defined by a positive culture and need for antibiotic therapy. Malnutrition was defined using the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition guidelines as well as the Michigan MTool. RESULTS There were 76 patients with a median age at implant of 0.9 years (IQR 0.4, 3.6), 50% male, with 73.7% having non-congenital heart disease. More than one-quarter (26.3%) of patients developed a cannula infection. Higher pre-implant weight (OR = 1.93, p = 0.05), creatinine (OR = 1.02, p = 0.044), and pre-albumin (OR = 15.79, p = 0.025), as well as duration of VAD support (OR = 1.01; p = 0.003) were associated with increased odds of developing a cannula infection. There was no difference in the malnutrition parameters between those with and without an infection. CONCLUSIONS Further exploration in a larger cohort is needed to see whether these associations remain and if the incorporation of objective measures of nutritional status at the time of infection are predictive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies revealing the relationship between major surgery outcomes and nutritional parameters are increasing daily. Publications demonstrating the relationship between early postoperative success and surgical complications in patients with chronic heart failure and continuous flow left ventricular assist device (cf-LVAD) are limited. The vast majority of patients with advanced chronic heart failure are cachexic, and the reason for this is multifactorial. The aim of this study is to investigate the link between the modified nutritional risk index (NRI) and 6-month survival and complication rates in patients with a cf-LVAD. METHODS This study included statistical analysis of NRI and postoperative parameters of 456 patients with advanced heart failure who had cf-LVAD implantation between 2010 and 2020. RESULTS The results of this study showed a statistically significant difference between mean NRI values and postoperative parameters such as 6-month survival (P = .001), right ventricular failure (P = .003), infection (P = .001), driveline infection (P = .000), and sepsis (P = .000). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that 6-month postoperative complications and mortality rates of patients with advanced heart failure in patients with cf-LVAD are closely related to malnutrition status. In these patients, nutrition specialist use would be beneficial both preoperatively and postoperatively to increase surveillance and reduce postoperative complications.

Improving nutrition practices for postoperative high-risk heart transplant and ventricular assist device implant patients in circulatory compromise: A quality improvement pre- and post-protocol intervention outcome study. Nutr Clin Pract 2022; 37:677-697. [PMID: 35606342 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.10854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing heart transplant (HT) and ventricular assist device (VAD) implant may experience intra- and postoperative complications requiring high-dose vasopressor agents and/or mechanical circulatory support. These complications increase the risk of nonocclusive bowel ischemia (NOBI) and inadequate enteral nutrition (EN) delivery, and guidance for this high-risk patient population is limited. To optimize nutrition support practices in this patient population at our institution, we created the High-Risk Nutrition Support Protocol (HRNSP) to improve nutrient delivery and promote safer EN practices in the setting of NOBI risk factors after HT and VAD implant. METHODS We developed and implemented a nutrition support protocol as a quality improvement (QI) initiative. Data were obtained before (n = 62) and after (n = 52) protocol initiation. We compared nutrition and clinical outcomes between the pre- and post-intervention groups. RESULTS Fewer calorie deficits (P < 0.001), fewer protein deficits (P < 0.001), a greater proportion of calorie/protein needs met (P < 0.001), zero NOBI cases (0%), and decreased intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) (P = 0.005) were observed with 100% (n = 52 of 54) HRNSP implementation success. Increased use of parenteral nutrition did not increase central line-associated bloodstream infections (P = 0.46). There was no difference in hospital LOS (P = 0.44) or 90-day and 1-year mortality (P = 0.56, P = 0.35). CONCLUSION This single-center, QI pre- and post-protocol intervention outcome study suggests that implementing and adhering to a nutrition support protocol for VAD implant/HT patients with hemodynamic complications increases nutrient delivery and is associated with reduced ICU LOS and NOBI.

Abstract
Survival of pediatric patients with heart failure has improved due to medical and surgical advances over the past decades. The complexity of pediatric heart transplant patients has increased as medical and surgical management for patients with congenital heart disease continues to improve. Quality of life in patients with heart failure and transplant might be affected by the impact on functional status that heart failure, heart failure complications or treatment might have. Functional areas affected might be motor, exercise capacity, feeding, speech and/or cognition. The goal of rehabilitation is to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities. Some of these rehabilitation interventions such as exercise training have been extensively evaluated in adults with heart failure. Literature in the pediatric population is limited yet promising. The use of additional rehabilitation interventions geared toward specific complications experienced by patients with heart failure or heart transplant are potentially helpful. The use of individualized multidisciplinary rehabilitation program that includes medical management, rehabilitation equipment and the use of physical, occupational, speech and feeding therapies can help improve the quality of life of patients with heart failure and transplant.

Nutritional assessment and comparison of nutritional indices in predicting adverse outcomes in patients undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation. Nutrition 2021; 89:111287. [PMID: 34111675 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2021.111287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative malnutrition has been correlated to postoperative complications in patients with advanced heart failure undergoing placement of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). We sought to determine whether nutritional risk scores could identify a subset of patients with an LVAD who were at high risk of adverse events. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all patients undergoing LVAD placement at a single center. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), nutritional risk index (NRI), and nutrition risk in the critically ill (NUTRIC) score were calculated retrospectively from data abstracted from chart review. The primary endpoint was a composite of mortality and other adverse events associated with LVAD implantation. We used χ2 or Fisher exact tests to compare these three indices against the primary outcome. RESULTS A total of 41 patients with a mean age of 57.2 ± 13.7 y and a mean body mass index of 29.3 ± 6.3 kg/m2 underwent LVAD placement between 2011 and 2019. The composite outcome at 1 y occurred in 31 (76%) patients. Preoperatively, 3 patients were identified as at high nutritional risk by the PNI score and 39 by the NRI score but none by the NUTRIC score. Most patients received nutritional interventions. The nutritional risk scores did not differ significantly between patients who experienced the composite outcome and those who did not. CONCLUSIONS The NRI, NUTRIC, and PNI scores did not identify a subset of patients at high risk for the composite outcome. Further studies are needed to determine how to better assess the true nutritional risk of the LVAD population. However, until better risk stratification is available, all patients with an LVAD should be consider at high risk and given appropriate nutritional interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) including venovenous and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and ventricular assist devices (VAD) provide mechanical pulmonary and circulatory support, respectively, in patients with acute pulmonary or cardiovascular failure. This review discusses recently published data regarding specific topics of nutritional support in patients with ECLS and VAD. RECENT FINDINGS ECLS may aggravate loss of endogenous and exogenous micronutrients and macronutrients. Observational studies have shown that enteral nutrition is feasible and most commonly used in patients with ECLS. Indirect calorimetry may be feasible for measuring energy expenditure during ECLS. Specific tools are available to assess malnutrition or nutrition risk in patients with VAD but require further validation in the perioperative setting. If parenteral nutrition is indicated, the use of intravenous lipid emulsions may be associated with membrane oxygenator dysfunction of the ECLS device or increased infectious risk in patients with VAD. SUMMARY Despite the exponential use of ECLS and VAD over the last decade, the role of nutrition on clinical outcome in this patient population remains an important but yet underinvestigated field.

Abstract
Cardiac rehabilitation physicians are faced to an increasing number of heart failure patients supported by left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). Many of these patients have complex medical issues and prolonged hospitalizations and therefore need special cardiac rehabilitation strategies including psychological, social, and educational support which are actually poorly implemented.Cardiac rehabilitation with clear guidance and more evidence should be considered as an essential component of the patient care plan especially regarding the increasing number of destination patients and their long-term follow-up.In this article the working group for postimplant treatment and rehabilitation of LVAD patients of the German Society for Prevention and Rehabilitation of Cardiovascular Diseases has summarized and updated the recommendations for the cardiac rehabilitation of LVAD patients considering the latest literature.

Abstract
Pediatric heart failure is a complex disease occurring when cardiac output is unable to meet the metabolic demands of the body. With improved surgical interventions and medical therapies, survival rates have improved, and care has shifted from focusing on survival to optimizing quality of life and health outcomes. Based on current literature, this review addresses the nutrition needs of infants and children in heart failure and describes the pathophysiology and metabolic implications of this disease. The prevalence of wasting in pediatric heart failure has been reported to be as high as 86%, highlighting the importance of nutrition assessment through all stages of treatment to provide appropriate intake of energy, protein, and micronutrients. The etiology of malnutrition in pediatric heart failure is multifactorial and involves hypermetabolism, decreased intake, increased nutrient losses, inefficient utilization of nutrients, and malabsorption. Children in heart failure often present with tachypnea, tachycardia, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting and consequently may not be able to meet their nutrition requirements through oral intake alone. Nutrition support, including enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition, should be considered an essential part of routine care. The involvement of multiple allied health professionals may be needed to create a feeding therapy plan to support patients and their families. With appropriate nutrition interventions, clinical outcomes and quality of life can be significantly improved.

Abstract
In this retrospective study, the safety of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement was evaluated as maintaining adequate nutritional support for patients with left ventricular assist devices is crucial. Nineteen patients who underwent PEG tube placement were followed for an average of 40 days. Overall, minor complications such as infections, bleeding, and PEG tube malposition occurred in just 19% of patients while the rate of major complications such as perforation was 5%. Further randomized control trials are necessary to validate this assertion that the safety of PEG placement in patients with left ventricular assist devices is similar to that of the general population.

Abstract
The increasing use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) in terminal heart failure patients provides new challenges to cardiac rehabilitation physicians. Structured cardiac rehabilitation strategies are still poorly implemented for this special patient group. Clear guidance and more evidence for optimal modalities are needed. Thereby, attention has to be paid to specific aspects, such as psychological and social support and education (e.g., device management, INR self-management, drive-line care, and medication).In Germany, the post-implant treatment and rehabilitation of VAD Patients working group was founded in 2012. This working group has developed clear recommendations for the rehabilitation of VAD patients according to the available literature. All facets of VAD patients' rehabilitation are covered. The present paper is unique in Europe and represents a milestone to overcome the heterogeneity of VAD patient rehabilitation.

Abstract
Heart failure is a growing public health concern. Advanced heart failure is frequently associated with severe muscle wasting, termed cardiac cachexia This process is driven by systemic inflammation and tumor necrosis factor in a manner common to other forms of disease-related wasting seen with cancer or human immunodeficiency virus. A variable degree of malnutrition is often superimposed from poor nutrient intake. Cardiac cachexia significantly decreases quality of life and survival in patients with heart failure. This review outlines the evaluation of nutrition status in heart failure, explores the pathophysiology of cardiac cachexia, and discusses therapeutic interventions targeting wasting in these patients.
