J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024; 38:911-917. [PMID: 38281824 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2024.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Caval valve implantation (CAVI) represents a minimally invasive strategy for managing severe tricuspid regurgitation in high-risk patients unsuitable for surgical or transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation. This case series aimed to assess the anesthesia management challenges and outcomes associated with this procedure, seeking to generate insights that can inform and refine anesthesia protocols. DESIGN A case series. SETTING At a cardiac catheterization laboratory of a teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS Eight patients undergoing CAVI with the Tricvalve system INTERVENTIONS: The anesthetic protocol included preprocedural planning, fast-track general anesthesia, and postprocedural debriefing. Intraoperative management involved anesthesia depth monitoring, real-time guidance via transesophageal echocardiography, and hemodynamic stability maintenance. Postoperative analgesia involved preemptive intravenous paracetamol and morphine as needed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS No anesthesia-related or implantation-related complications were observed, with a mean procedure duration of 112 ± 44 minutes. The median hospital stay was 4 days, and only 1 patient required brief intensive care unit monitoring. Postoperative right shoulder pain was reported by half of the patients, and was managed with morphine bolus administration (average dose 4.75 ± 3.6 mg). All patients had the device correctly positioned, as confirmed by postoperative transthoracic echocardiograms. None of the patients required outpatient analgesic therapy upon discharge. CONCLUSIONS The authors' study demonstrated the potential of TricValve implantation in effectively managing severe tricuspid regurgitation with no procedure-related complications and a 100% survival rate. A collaborative, interdisciplinary approach and targeted anesthesia management proved crucial for this success. Postoperative shoulder pain emerged as a frequent complication, whose pathogenesis is still not clear, and successfully was managed using targeted analgesic therapy.

Anesthetic Choice for Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Placement and Lead Removal: A National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry Analysis. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2023; 37:2461-2469. [PMID: 37714760 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2023.07.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The authors evaluated the anesthetic approach for cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) placement and transvenous lead removal, hypothesizing that monitored anesthesia care is used more frequently than general anesthesia. DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry data. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients who underwent CIED (permanent cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator [ICD]) placement or transvenous lead removal between 2010 and 2021. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Covariates were selected a priori within multivariate models to assess predictors of anesthetic type. A total of 87,530 patients underwent pacemaker placement, 76,140 had ICD placement, 2,568 had pacemaker transvenous lead removal, and 4,861 had ICD transvenous lead extraction; 51.2%, 45.64%, 16.82%, and 45.64% received monitored anesthesia care, respectively. A 2%, 1% (both p < 0.0001), and 2% (p = 0.0003) increase in monitored anesthesia care occurred for each 1-year increase in age for pacemaker placement, ICD placement, and pacemaker transvenous lead removal, respectively. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status ≤III for pacemaker placement, ASA ≥IV for ICD placement, and ASA ≤III for pacemaker transvenous lead removal were 7% (p = 0.0013), 5% (p = 0.0144), and 27% (p = 0.0247) more likely to receive monitored anesthesia care, respectively. Patients treated in the Northeast were more likely to receive monitored anesthesia care than in the West for all groups analyzed (p < 0.0024). Male patients were 24% less likely to receive monitored anesthesia care for pacemaker transvenous lead removal (p = 0.0378). For every additional 10 pacemaker or ICD lead removals performed in a year, a 2% decrease in monitored anesthesia care was evident (p = 0.0271, p < 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS General anesthesia still has a strong presence in the anesthetic management of both CIED placement and transvenous lead removal. Anesthetic choice, however, varies with patient demographics, hospital characteristics, and geographic region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A shortage of anaesthetists affects health system globally. This is a study on task-force to develop a predictive model for the appropriate number of anaesthetic providers (Y). METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed with randomisation from every health service region across Thailand. The decision-making criteria for manpower needed were written and provided guidance. The number of personnel was calculated from the sum of total time spent by all anaesthetic providers divided by duration of the service. Linear regression analysis was applied. RESULTS In total 3774 patients were included from 18 hospitals. The factors that affect the anaesthetic providers' allocation needs were included in the predictive model, calculated as Y = 3.53 + [0.56 (standard centre) + 0.36 (advanced centre) + 1.03 (specialty centre)] + 0.07 (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status IV and V) + 0.61 (advanced anaesthetic medication) + [0.61 (monitored anaesthesia care) + 0.17 (general anaesthesia)] - [0.27 (pre-anaesthetic duration within 31-60 minutes) + (0.61 (over 60 minutes)] - [0.85 (anaesthetic duration within 31-60 minutes) + 1.04 (within 61-120 minutes) + 1.32 (over 120 minutes)] - [0.16 (post-anaesthetic duration within 31-60 minutes) + 0.45 (within 61-90 minutes) + 0.74 (over 90 minutes)]. CONCLUSION The anaesthesia manpower algorithm developed during this study can be used to calculate the number of anaesthetists per population to maintain health services.

Comparison of 2 effect-site concentrations of remifentanil with midazolam during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy under procedural analgesia and sedation: A randomized controlled study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2022; 101:e30466. [PMID: 36086764 PMCID: PMC10980449 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000030466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Until now, target-controlled infusion of remifentanil with midazolam for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy has not been described. Here, we investigate 2 effect-site concentrations of remifentanil with intermittent bolus midazolam for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy under procedural analgesia and sedation. METHODS A prospective, randomized controlled trial including patients who received a transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy between February 2019 and January 2021 was conducted. Group 1 and Group 2 were respectively administered an initial effect-site concentration of remifentanil of 1.0 ng/mL and 2.0 ng/mL by a target-controlled infusion pump with Minto model. In both groups, maintenance of the effect-site concentration of remifentanil was adjusted upward and downward by 0.5 ng/mL to keep patient comfort with acceptable pain (remaining moveless), and mean arterial pressure and heart rate within baseline levels ± 30%, and using intermittent bolus midazolam to keep the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale between 2 and 4. The primary outcome was to determine which effect-site concentration of remifentanil provide adequate patient comfort with acceptable pain (remaining moveless) during the procedure. RESULTS A total of 40 patients in Group 1 and 40 patients in Group 2 were eligible for analysis. Most parameters were insignificantly different between Group 1 and Group 2, except Group 1 having higher peripheral oxygen saturation while probe insertion compared with Group 2. Group 2 patients had less intraoperative movements affecting the procedure (2 vs 18; P < .001), and less total times of target-controlled infusion pump adjustment (0 [0-1] vs 1 [0-3], P < .001) compared with group 1. However, group 1 patients had less apnea with desaturation (peripheral oxygen saturation < 90%; 0 vs 9, P = .002) and less remifentanil consumption (94.9 ± 25.5 μg vs 106.2 ± 21.2 μg, P = .034) compared to Group 2. CONCLUSION In transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, target-controlled infusion with remifentanil Minto model target 2.0 ng/mL with 3 to 4 mg midazolam use provided sufficient analgesia and sedation, and appropriate hemodynamic and respiratory conditions.

Comparative Safety Profiles of Sedatives Commonly Used in Clinical Practice: A 10-Year Nationwide Pharmacovigilance Study in Korea. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14080783. [PMID: 34451882 PMCID: PMC8399659 DOI: 10.3390/ph14080783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aims to compare the prevalence and seriousness of adverse events (AEs) among sedatives used in critically ill patients or patients undergoing invasive procedures and to identify factors associated with serious AEs. Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of sedative-related AEs voluntarily reported to the Korea Adverse Event Reporting System from 2008 to 2017 was performed. All AEs were grouped using preferred terms and System Organ Classes per the World Health Organization-Adverse Reaction Terminology. Logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with serious events. Among 95,188 AEs, including 3132 (3.3%) serious events, the most common etiologic sedative was fentanyl (58.8%), followed by pethidine (25.9%). Gastrointestinal disorders (54.2%) were the most frequent AEs. The most common serious AE was heart rate/rhythm disorders (33.1%). Serious AEs were significantly associated with male sex; pediatrics; etiologic sedative with etomidate at the highest risk, followed by dexmedetomidine, ketamine, and propofol; polypharmacy; combined sedative use; and concurrent use of corticosteroids, aspirin, neuromuscular blockers, and antihistamines (reporting odds ratio > 1, p < 0.001 for all). Sedative-induced AEs are most frequently reported with fentanyl, primarily manifesting as gastrointestinal disorders. Etomidate is associated with the highest risk of serious AEs, with the most common serious events being heart rate/rhythm disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Until now, target-controlled infusion of remifentanil with midazolam in percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty for dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas has not been described. Here, we investigate 2 effect-site concentrations of remifentanil with intermittent bolus midazolam for percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty under monitored anesthesia care. METHODS A prospective, randomized controlled trial including patients who received a percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty between March 2019 and March 2021 was conducted. Group 1 and Group 2 were, respectively, administered an initial effect-site concentration of remifentanil of 1.0 and 2.0 ng/mL by a target-controlled infusion pump with Minto model. In both groups, maintenance of the effect-site concentration of remifentanil was adjusted upward and downward by 0.5 ng/mL with intermittent bolus midazolam to keep the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale between 2 and 4, mean arterial pressure and heart rate at baseline levels ± 30%, and patient comfort (remaining moveless). The primary outcome was to determine the appropriate effect-site concentration of remifentanil for the procedure in terms of patient comfort (remaining moveless), hemodynamic conditions, and adverse events. Secondary endpoints included the total dosage of anesthetics and total times of target-controlled infusion pump adjustments. RESULTS A total of 40 patients in Group 1 and 40 patients in Group 2 were eligible for analysis. Most parameters were insignificantly different between 2 groups, except Group 1 having higher peripheral oxygen saturation, while local anesthetic injection compared with Group 2. In addition, Group 1 patients had less apnea with desaturation (peripheral oxygen saturation < 90%; 0 vs 6, P = .034), less remifentanil consumption (189.65 ± 69.7 vs 243.8 ± 76.1 μg, P = .001), but more intraoperative movements affecting the procedure (14 vs 4; P = .016), total times of target-controlled infusion pump adjustment [2 (1-4) vs 1 (1-2), P < .001] compared with Group 2. CONCLUSION In percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty for dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas, target-controlled infusion with remifentanil Minto model target 2.0 ng/mL with 3 to 4 mg midazolam use provided appropriate hemodynamic conditions, sufficient sedation and analgesia, and acceptable apnea with desaturation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article provides an overview of standard procedures currently performed in nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) and highlights anesthetic implications. RECENT FINDINGS Novel noninvasive interventional procedures remain on the rise, accelerating demand for anesthesia support outside the conventional operating room. The field of interventional oncology has introduced a variety of effective minimally invasive therapies making interventional radiology gain a major role in the management of cancer. Technical innovation brings newer ablative and embolotherapy techniques into practice. Flexible bronchoscopy has replaced rigid bronchoscopy for many diagnostic and therapeutic indications. Endobronchial ultrasonography now allows sampling of mediastinal, paratracheal, or subcarinal lymph nodes rendering more invasive procedures such as mediastinoscopy unnecessary. Similarly, endoscopic ultrasonosgraphy currently plays a central position in the management of gastrointestinal disease. Sophisticated catheter techniques for ablating cardiac arrhythmias have become state of the art; Watchman procedure gaining position in the prevention of stroke resulting from atrial fibrillation. SUMMARY NORA is a rapidly evolving field in anesthesia. Employing new technology to treat a wide variety of diseases brings new challenges to the anesthesiologist. Better understanding of emerging interventional techniques is key to safe practice and allows the anesthesia expert to be at the forefront of this swiftly expanding multidisciplinary arena.
