Pulmonary artery catheter use and in-hospital outcomes in cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. INTERDISCIPLINARY CARDIOVASCULAR AND THORACIC SURGERY 2024; 39:ivae129. [PMID: 38976638 PMCID: PMC11254303 DOI: 10.1093/icvts/ivae129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the association of intraoperative pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use with in-hospital outcomes in cardiac surgical patients. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library (Wiley) databases were screened for studies that compared cardiac surgical patients receiving intraoperative PAC with controls and reporting in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included intensive care unit length of stay, cost of hospitalization, fluid volume administered, intubation time, inotropes use, acute kidney injury (AKI), stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and infections. RESULTS Seven studies (25 853 patients, 88.6% undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery) were included. In-hospital mortality was significantly increased with PAC use [odds ratio (OR) 1.57; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.12-2.20, P = 0.04]; PAC use was also associated with greater intraoperative inotrope use (OR 2.61; 95% CI 1.54-4.41) and costs [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.20; 95% CI 0.16-0.23], longer intensive care unit stay (SMD = 0.29; 95% CI 0.25-0.33), and longer intubation time (SMD = 0.44; 95% CI 0.12-0.76). CONCLUSIONS PAC use is associated with significantly increased odds of in-hospital mortality, but the amount and quality of the available evidence is limited. Prospective randomized trials testing the effect of PAC on the outcomes of cardiac surgical patients are urgently needed.

The Effects of Pulmonary Artery Catheter on the Short-Term Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. Rev Cardiovasc Med 2024; 25:183. [PMID: 39076489 PMCID: PMC11267216 DOI: 10.31083/j.rcm2505183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Pulmonary artery catheters (PAC) are widely used in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting surgery. However, primary data suggested that the benefits of PAC in surgical settings were limited. Therefore, the present study sought to estimate the effects of PAC on the short-term outcomes of patients undergoing OPCAB surgery. Methods The characteristics, intraoperative data, and postoperative outcomes of consecutive patients undergoing primary, isolated OPCAB surgery from November 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively extracted. Patients were divided into two groups (PAC and no-PAC) based on PAC insertion status. Data were analyzed with a 1:1 nearest-neighbor propensity score matched-pair in PAC and no-PAC groups. Results Of the 1004 Chinese patients who underwent primary, isolated OPCAB surgery, 506 (50.39%) had PAC. Propensity score matching yielded 397 evenly balanced pairs. Compared with the no-PAC group (only implanted a central venous catheter), PAC utilization was not associated with improved in-hospital mortality in the entire or matched cohort. Still, the matched cohort showed that PAC utilization increased epinephrine usage and hospital costs. Conclusions The current study demonstrated no apparent benefit or harm for PAC utilization in OPCAB surgical patients. In addition, PAC utilization was more expensive.

Pulmonary artery catheter receipt among cardiac surgery patients from the national inpatient sample (1999-2019): Prevalence, predictors and hospitalization charges. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24902. [PMID: 38317919 PMCID: PMC10839978 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24902] [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: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite limited evidence to support its efficacy, use of pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), a relatively expensive medical device, for monitoring clinical status and guiding therapeutic interventions, has become standard of care in many settings, and especially during and after cardiac surgery. We examined the prevalence and predictors of PAC use and its association with hospitalization charges among cardiac surgery patients generally and for each selected subgroup of high-risk or complex surgical procedures. We conducted an analysis on 1,442,528 records from the National Inpatient Sample (1999-2019) that included cardiac surgery patients ≥18 years of age. Subgroups were categorized based on the presence of specific disorders like tricuspid or mitral valve disease, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, or cardiac surgery combinations. Multivariable regression models were constructed to assess predictors of PAC use as well as PAC use as a predictor of loge hospitalization charges controlling for patient and hospital characteristics. Based on International Classification of Diseases procedure codes, PAC use was prevalent among 7.15 % of cardiac surgery hospitalizations, and hospitalization charges were estimated at $191,345, with no differences according to PAC use. Overall, being female, having Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) > 0, and non-payer (versus Medicare) status were independently associated with PAC use. Among the subgroup with the selected conditions, being female, having CCI>0, and being a Medicaid (versus Medicare) recipient were independently associated with PAC use, whereas elective admission was inversely related to PAC use. Among the subgroup without the selected conditions, having a CCI >0, elective admission, and non-payer (vs. Medicare) status were independently associated with PAC use. PAC use was not independently related to hospitalization charges overall or among subgroups. In conclusion, approximately 7 % of cardiac surgery hospitalizations received a PAC, with no differences in charges according to PAC use and disparities in PAC use driven by sex, elective admission, CCI and health insurance status. Large randomized trials are required to characterize the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of PAC use among distinct groups of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A pulmonary artery catheter is often used in cardiac surgery despite its uncertain effectiveness. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the associations between the use of a pulmonary artery catheter and clinical outcomes in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS Patients over 20 years of age who had undergone off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting between December 2018 and November 2021 were enrolled in this single-center retrospective pilot study. The propensity score of pulmonary artery catheterization was calculated. Multivariate analysis including the propensity score as a covariate was performed to assess clinical outcomes. The primary outcome was the composite outcome of in-hospital death, unplanned intraoperative conversion to cardiopulmonary bypass, resuscitated cardiac arrest, mechanical circulatory support, myocardial infarction, stroke, new initiation of renal replacement therapy, inhaled nitric oxide, re-intubation and tracheostomy. RESULTS Among the 315 patients who were enrolled, 298 were included in the final analysis. A pulmonary artery catheter was inserted in 131 patients. There were 50 patients with the composite outcome including two in-hospital deaths. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pulmonary artery catheterization was not significantly related to the composite outcome. Clinical outcomes worsened significantly as the number of anastomoses increased (odds ratio: 1.450, 95% confidence interval: 1.040-2.040, P=0.029). CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary artery catheterization did not improve the clinical outcomes in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in this pilot study.

Abstract
To examine associations of pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use with in-hospital death and hospital length of stay (days) overall and within subgroups of hospitalized cardiac surgery patients. Secondary analyses of 1999-2019 National Inpatient Sample data were performed using 969,034 records (68% male, mean age: 65 years) representing adult cardiac surgery patients in the United States. A subgroup of 323,929 records corresponded to patients with congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, mitral/tricuspid valve disease and/or combined surgeries. We evaluated PAC in relation to clinical outcomes using regression and targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE). Hospitalized cardiac surgery patients experienced more in-hospital deaths and longer stays if they had ≥ 1 subgroup characteristics. For risk-adjusted models, in-hospital deaths were similar among recipients and non-recipients of PAC (odds ratio [OR] 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.96, 1.12), although PAC was associated with more in-hospital deaths among the subgroup with congestive heart failure (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.03, 1.26). PAC recipients experienced shorter stays than non-recipients (β = - 0.40, 95% CI - 0.64, - 0.15), with variations by subgroup. We obtained comparable results using TMLE. In this retrospective cohort study, PAC was associated with shorter stays and similar in-hospital death rates among cardiac surgery patients. Worse clinical outcomes associated with PAC were observed only among patients with congestive heart failure. Prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm and extend these preliminary findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of intraoperative pulmonary hemodynamics on prognosis after off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery remains unknown. In this study, we examined the association between intraoperative vital signs and the development of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during hospitalization or within 30 days postoperatively. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed data from a university hospital. The study cohort comprised consecutive patients who underwent isolated OPCAB surgery between November 2013 and July 2021. We calculated the mean and coefficient of variation of vital signs obtained from the intra-arterial catheter, pulmonary artery catheter, and pulse oximeter. The optimal cut-off was defined as the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) with the largest Youden index (Youden index = sensitivity + specificity - 1). Multivariate logistic regression analysis ROC curves were used to adjust all baseline characteristics that yielded P values of < 0.05. RESULTS In total, 508 patients who underwent OPCAB surgery were analyzed. The mean patient age was 70.0 ± 9.7 years, and 399 (79%) were male. There were no patients with confirmed or suspected preoperative pulmonary hypertension. Postoperative MACE occurred in 32 patients (heart failure in 16, ischemic stroke in 16). The mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) was significantly higher in patients with than without MACE (19.3 ± 3.0 vs. 16.7 ± 3.4 mmHg, respectively; absolute difference, 2.6 mmHg; 95% confidence interval, 1.5 to 3.8). The area under the ROC curve of PAP for the prediction of MACE was 0.726 (95% confidence interval, 0.645 to 0.808). The optimal mean PAP cut-off was 18.8 mmHg, with a specificity of 75.8% and sensitivity of 62.5% for predicting MACE. After multivariate adjustments, high PAP remained an independent risk factor for MACE. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide the first evidence that intraoperative borderline pulmonary hypertension may affect the prognosis of patients undergoing OPCAB surgery. Future large-scale prospective studies are needed to verify the present findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is still uncertain what effects pulmonary artery catheter (PAC)-guided resuscitation has on outcomes for patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of PAC on hospital mortality in patients with SAP. METHODS We collected the data of patients with a diagnosis of SAP from January 10, 2017, to July 30, 2019. Patients were divided into a PAC group and a control group. The primary outcome measured was the day-28 mortality. Secondary outcomes included day-90 mortality, duration of ICU and hospital stay, ventilation days, usage of renal support and vasoactive agents, incidences of acute abdominal compartment syndrome, infusion volumes, and fluid balance and hemodynamic characteristics measured by the PAC. Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to estimate survival outcomes. Complications related to PAC were also analyzed. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the PAC group and the control group for day-28 mortality (22.7% vs. 30%, odds ratio, 0.69; 95% CI 0.31-1.52; P = 0.35). The duration of ICU stay in the PAC group was shorter (P = 0.00), and the rate of dependence on renal support treatment was lower in the PAC group than in the control group (P = 0.03). There was no difference in other secondary outcomes and no significant difference in the survival curve between the two groups (log-rank P = 0.72, X2 = 0.13). However, SAP patients inserted PAC within 24 h ICU admission showed that duration of renal support therapy in PAC patients within 24 h ICU admission (mean days, 1.60; standard deviation, 0.14) was shorter than those with 24-72 h ICU admission (mean days, 2.94; standard deviation, 0.73; P = 0.03). The organ failure rates (1 organ, 2 organs and 3 organs) were all lower in PAC patients within 24 h ICU admission than with 24-72 h ICU admission (P = 0.02, P = 0.02, P = 0.048, respectively). CONCLUSION In patients with severe acute pancreatitis, PAC-guided fluid resuscitation shortened the duration of ICU stay, and patients in the PAC group had a lower rate of dependence on renal support, while no benefit in terms of mortality was observed. However, SAP patients inserted PAC within 24 h ICU admission showed shorter duration of renal support therapy and lower organ failure rates than those with 24-72 h ICU admission, indicating that early use of PAC, especially within 24 h, might be better for SAP patients.

Abstract
Objective A monitoring pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is utilized in approximately 34% of the US cardiac surgical procedures. Increased use of PAC has been reported to have an association with complication rates: significant decreases in new-onset heart failure (HF) and respiratory failure (RF), but increases in bacteremia and urinary tract infections. We assessed the impact of increasing PAC adoption on hospital costs among cardiac surgery patients for US-based healthcare systems. Methods An Excel-based economic model calculated annualized savings for a US hospital with various cardiac surgical volumes and PAC adoption rates. A second model, for an integrated payer-provider health system, analyzed outcomes/costs resulting from the cardiac surgical admission and for the treatment of persistent HF and RF complications in the year following surgery. Model inputs were extracted from published literature, and one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. Results For an acute care hospital with 500 procedures/year and 34% PAC adoption, annualized savings equalled $61,806 vs no PAC utilization. An increase in PAC adoption rate led to increased savings of $134,751 for 75% and $170,685 for 95% adoption. Savings ranged from $12,361 to $185,418 at volumes of 100 and 1500 procedures/year, respectively. For an integrated payer-provider health system with the base-case scenario of 3845 procedures/year and 34% PAC adoption, estimated savings were $596,637 for the combined surgical index admission and treatment for related complications over the following year. Conclusion PAC utilization in adult cardiac surgery patients results in reduced costs for both acute care hospitals and payer-provider integrated health systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary artery catheterization provides continuous monitoring of hemodynamic parameters that may aid in the perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, prior data suggest that pulmonary artery catheterization has limited benefit in intensive care and surgical settings. Thus, this study sought to determine the impact of pulmonary artery catheter insertion on short-term postoperative outcomes in a large, contemporaneous cohort of patients undergoing open cardiac surgery compared with standard central venous pressure monitoring. METHODS This was an observational study of open cardiac surgeries from 2010 to 2018. Patients with pulmonary artery catheter insertion were identified and matched against patients without pulmonary artery catheter insertion via 1:1 nearest neighbor propensity matching. Multivariable analysis was performed to assess the impact of pulmonary artery catheterization on operative mortality in the overall cohort, as well as recent heart failure, mitral valve disease, and tricuspid insufficiency subgroups. RESULTS Of the 11,820 patients undergoing (Society of Thoracic Surgeons indexed) coronary or valvular surgery, 4605 (39.0%) had pulmonary artery catheter insertion. Propensity score matching yielded 3519 evenly balanced pairs. Compared with central venous pressure monitoring, pulmonary artery catheter use was not associated with improved operative mortality in the overall cohort or in the recent heart failure, mitral valve disease, or tricuspid insufficiency subgroups. Intensive care unit length of stay was longer (P < .001), and there were more packed red blood cell transfusions in the pulmonary artery catheterization group (P < .001); however, postoperative outcomes were otherwise similar, including stroke, sepsis, and new renal failure (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that pulmonary artery catheterization may have limited benefit in cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Critical care, like many healthcare areas, is under a dual assault from significantly increasing demographic and economic pressures. Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are highly variable in response to treatment, and increasingly aging populations mean ICUs are under increasing demand and their cohorts are increasingly ill. Equally, patient expectations are growing, while the economic ability to deliver care to all is declining. Better, more productive care is thus the big challenge. One means to that end is personalised care designed to manage the significant inter- and intra-patient variability that makes the ICU patient difficult. Thus, moving from current "one size fits all" protocolised care to adaptive, model-based "one method fits all" personalised care could deliver the required step change in the quality, and simultaneously the productivity and cost, of care. Computer models of human physiology are a unique tool to personalise care, as they can couple clinical data with mathematical methods to create subject-specific models and virtual patients to design new, personalised and more optimal protocols, as well as to guide care in real-time. They rely on identifying time varying patient-specific parameters in the model that capture inter- and intra-patient variability, the difference between patients and the evolution of patient condition. Properly validated, virtual patients represent the real patients, and can be used in silico to test different protocols or interventions, or in real-time to guide care. Hence, the underlying models and methods create the foundation for next generation care, as well as a tool for safely and rapidly developing personalised treatment protocols over large virtual cohorts using virtual trials. This review examines the models and methods used to create virtual patients. Specifically, it presents the models types and structures used and the data required. It then covers how to validate the resulting virtual patients and trials, and how these virtual trials can help design and optimise clinical trial. Links between these models and higher order, more complex physiome models are also discussed. In each section, it explores the progress reported up to date, especially on core ICU therapies in glycemic, circulatory and mechanical ventilation management, where high cost and frequency of occurrence provide a significant opportunity for model-based methods to have measurable clinical and economic impact. The outcomes are readily generalised to other areas of medical care.

Abstract
Arterial pulse waveform analysis (APWA) with a semi-invasive cardiac output monitoring device is popular in perioperative hemodynamic and fluid management. However, in APWA, evaluation of hemodynamic data is not well discussed. In this study, we analyzed how we visually interpret hemodynamic data, including stroke volume variation (SVV) and stroke volume (SV) derived from APWA. We performed arithmetic estimation of the SVV-SV relationship and applied measured values to this estimation. We then collected measured values in six anesthesia cases, including three liver transplantations and three other types of surgeries, to apply them to this SVV-SVI (stroke volume variation index) plot. Arithmetic analysis showed that the relationship between SVV and SV can be drawn as hyperbolic curves. Plotting SVV-SV values in the semi-logarithmic scale showed linear correlations, and the slopes of the linear regression lines theoretically represented average mean cardiac contractility. In clinical measurements in APWA, plotting SVV and SVI values in the linear scale and the semi-logarithmic scale showed the correlations represented by hyperbolic curves and linear regression lines. The plots approximately shifted on the rectangular hyperbolic curves, depending on blood loss and blood transfusion. Arithmetic estimation is close to real measurement of the SVV-SV interaction in hyperbolic curves. In APWA, using SVV as an index of preload and the cardiac index or SVI derived from arterial pressure-based cardiac output as an index of cardiac function, is likely to be appropriate for categorizing hemodynamic stages as a substitute for Forrester subsets.
