Intraoperative milrinone versus dobutamine in cardiac surgery patients: a retrospective cohort study on mortality.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Several choices of inotropic therapy are available and used in relation to cardiac surgery. Comparisons are necessary to select optimal therapy. In Denmark, dobutamine and milrinone are the two inotropic agents most commonly used to treat post-bypass low cardiac output syndrome. This study compares all-cause mortality with these drugs. METHODS:In a retrospective observational study we investigated 10,700 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery from 1 April 2006 to 31 December 2013 at Aarhus and Aalborg University Hospitals in the Central and Northern Denmark Region. Prospectively entered data in the Western Danish Heart Registry on intraoperative use of inotropes were used to identify 952 patients treated with milrinone, 418 patients treated with dobutamine, and 82 patients receiving a combination of the two inotropes. All-cause mortality among patients receiving dobutamine was compared to all-cause mortality among milrinone receivers. Multiple logistic regression analyses including preoperative and intraoperative variables along with g-formula analyses were used to model 30-day and 1-year mortality risks. Reported were standardized mortality risk differences between the treatment groups. RESULTS:Among patients receiving intraoperative dobutamine, 18 (4.3%) died within 30 days and 49 (11.7%) within 1 year. Corresponding 30-day and 1-year mortality for milrinone receivers were 81 (8.5%) and 170 (17.9%). Risk of death within 30 days and 1 year was increased for intraoperative milrinone compared to dobutamine with a standardized risk difference of 4.06% (confidence interval (CI) 1.23; 6.89, p = 0.005) and 4.77% (CI 0.39; 9.15, p = 0.033), respectively. Sensitivity analyses including adjustment for milrinone preference, hemodynamic instability prior to cardiopulmonary bypass, and separate analyses on hospital level all confirmed a sign toward increased mortality among milrinone receivers. CONCLUSIONS:Intraoperative use of milrinone in cardiac surgery may be associated with an increase in all-cause mortality compared to use of dobutamine.

Project description:BackgroundThe detrimental effects of inotropes are well-known, and in many fields they are only used within a goal-directed therapy approach. Nevertheless, standard management in many centers includes administering inotropes to all patients undergoing cardiac surgery to prevent low cardiac output syndrome and its implications. Randomized evidence in favor of a patient-tailored, inotrope-sparing approach is still lacking. We designed a randomized controlled noninferiority trial in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with normal ejection fraction to assess whether an dobutamine-sparing strategy (in which the use of dobutamine was guided by hemodynamic evidence of low cardiac output associated with signs of inadequate tissue perfusion) was noninferior to an inotrope-to-all strategy (in which all patients received dobutamine).ResultsA total of 160 patients were randomized to the dobutamine-sparing strategy (80 patients) or to the dobutamine-to-all approach (80 patients). The primary composite endpoint of 30-day mortality or occurrence of major cardiovascular complications (arrhythmias, acute myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome and stroke or transient ischemic attack) occurred in 25/80 (31%) patients of the dobutamine-sparing group (p = 0.74) and 27/80 (34%) of the dobutamine-to-all group. There were no significant differences between groups regarding the incidence of acute kidney injury, prolonged mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit or hospital length of stay.DiscussionAlthough it is common practice in many centers to administer inotropes to all patients undergoing cardiac surgery, a dobutamine-sparing strategy did not result in an increase of mortality or occurrence of major cardiovascular events when compared to a dobutamine-to-all strategy. Further research is needed to assess if reducing the administration of inotropes can improve outcomes in cardiac surgery. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02361801.

Project description:BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common surgical complication and is associated with intraoperative hypotension. However, the total duration and magnitude of intraoperative hypotension associated with AKI remains unknown. In this study, the causal relationship between the intraoperative arterial pressure and postoperative AKI was investigated among chronic hypertension patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of 6552 hypertension patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (2011 to 2019) was conducted. The primary outcome was AKI as diagnosed with the Kidney Disease-Improving Global Outcomes criteria and the primary exposure was intraoperative hypotension. Patients' baseline demographics, pre- and post-operative data were harvested and then analyzed with multivariable logistic regression to assess the exposure-outcome relationship.ResultsAmong 6552 hypertension patients, 579 (8.84%) had postoperative AKI after non-cardiac surgery. The proportions of patients admitted to ICU (3.97 vs. 1.24%, p < 0.001) and experiencing all-cause death (2.76 vs. 0.80%, p < 0.001) were higher in the patients with postoperative AKI. Moreover, the patients with postoperative AKI had longer hospital stays (13.50 vs. 12.00 days, p < 0.001). Intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 60 mmHg for >20 min was an independent risk factor of postoperative AKI. Furthermore, MAP <60 mmHg for >10 min was also an independent risk factor of postoperative AKI in patients whose MAP was measured invasively in the subgroup analysis.ConclusionsOur work suggested that MAP < 60 mmHg for >10 min measured invasively or 20 min measured non-invasively during non-cardiac surgery may be the threshold of postoperative AKI development in hypertension patients. This work may serve as a perioperative management guide for chronic hypertension patients.Trial registrationclinical trial number: ChiCTR2100050209 (8/22/2021). http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=132277.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the long-lasting notion about the substantial contribution of intraoperative un-stabilization of homeostasis factors on the incidence on acute kidney injury (AKI), the possible influence of intraoperative glucose or lactate management, as a modifiable factor, on the development of AKI remains inconclusive.ObjectivesTo investigated the relationship between intraoperative hyperglycemia, hyperlactatemia, and postoperative AKI in cardiac surgery.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among 4,435 adult patients who underwent on-pump cardiac surgery from July 2019 to March 2022. Intraoperative hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia were defined as blood glucose levels >10 mmol/L and lactate levels >2 mmol/L, respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI. All statistical analyses, including t tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, chi-square tests, Fisher's exact test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, logistic regression models, subgroup analyses, collinearity analysis, and receiver operating characteristic analysis, were performed using the statistical software program R version 4.1.1.ResultsAmong the 4,435 patients in the ﬁnal analysis, a total of 734 (16.55%) patients developed AKI after on-pump cardiac surgery. All studied intraoperative metabolic disorders was associated with increased AKI risk, with most pronounced odds ratio (OR) noted for both hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia were present intraoperatively [adjusted OR 3.69, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 2.68-5.13, p < 0.001]. Even when hyperglycemia or hyperlactatemia was present alone, the risk of postoperative AKI remained elevated (adjusted OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.50-2.60, p < 0.001).ConclusionThe presence of intraoperative hyperglycemia and hyperlactatemia may be associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Proper and timely interventions for these metabolic disorders are crucially important in mitigating the risk of AKI.
