Pulmonary artery catheter use in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a retrospective, cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Background:The utility of pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) and their measurements depend on a variety of factors including data interpretation and personnel training. This US multi-center, retrospective electronic health record (EHR) database analysis was performed to identify associations between PAC use in adult cardiac surgeries and effects on subsequent clinical outcomes. Methods:This cohort analysis utilized the Cerner Health Facts database to examine patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), isolated valve surgery, aortic surgery, other complex non-valvular and multi-cardiac procedures, and/or heart transplant from January 1, 2011, to June 30, 2015. A total of 6844 adults in two cohorts, each with 3422 patients who underwent a qualifying cardiac procedure with or without the use of a PAC for monitoring purposes, were included. Patients were matched 1:1 using a propensity score based upon the date and type of surgery, hospital demographics, modified European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE II), and patient characteristics. Primary outcomes of 30-day in-hospital mortality, length of stay, cardiopulmonary morbidity, and infectious morbidity were analyzed after risk adjustment for acute physiology score. Results:There was no difference in the 30-day in-hospital mortality rate between treatment groups (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.65-2.10; p?=?0.516). PAC use was associated with a decreased length of stay (9.39 days without a PAC vs. 8.56 days with PAC; p?

Project description:Although pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has been used during liver transplantation surgery, the usefulness of PAC has rarely been investigated. We evaluated whether the use of PAC is associated with better clinical outcomes compared to arterial waveform-based monitoring after liver transplantation. A total of 1565 cases undergoing liver transplantation were reviewed. We determined whether patients received PAC or not and divided our cohort into the PAC with hemodynamic monitoring using PAC and the non-PAC with arterial waveform-based monitoring using FloTrac-Vigileo. Propensity score matching was performed. Acute kidney injury (AKI), early allograft dysfunction (EAD) and 1-year all-cause mortality or graft failure were compared in the matched cohorts. Logistic regression analysis was performed in the inverse probability of treatment-weighted (IPTW) cohort for postoperative EAD and AKI, respectively. Five-year overall survival was compared between the two groups. In the matched cohort, there was no significant difference in the incidence of AKI, EAD, length of hospital or ICU stay, and 1-year all-cause mortality between the groups. In the IPTW cohort, the use of PAC was not a significant predictor for AKI or EAD (AKI: odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 1.20 (0.47-1.56), p = 0.229; EAD: 0.99 (0.38-1.14), p = 0.323). There was no significant difference in the survival between groups after propensity score matching (Log-rank test p = 0.578). In conclusion, posttransplant clinical outcomes were not significantly different between the groups with and without PAC. Anesthetic management without the use of PAC may be possible in low-risk patients during liver transplantation. The risk should be carefully assessed by considering MELD scores, ischemic time, surgical history, previous treatment of underlying liver disease, and degree of portal and pulmonary hypertension.Registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05457114 (registration date: July 15, 2022).

Project description:BackgroundQuantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a novel diagnostic modality for the functional testing of coronary artery stenosis, but evidence concerning the postoperative prognostic implication of QFR in noncardiac surgery (NCS) of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of QFR in perioperative risk prediction in patients with coronary heart disease.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted in The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between 2013 and 2022, and consecutively included patients with CAD who had undergone NCS <1 year after coronary angiography. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), which were defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, cardiopulmonary arrest, malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA), congestive heart failure, and revascularization. Univariate and multifactorial Cox regression was used to identify the independent risk factors for perioperative cardiovascular events and to construct new models. The area under the curve (AUC), net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were used to compare the newly constructed model with existing traditional models.ResultsAmong the 929 participants enrolled (median age 68 years; 72.0% male), the primary endpoint was met in 67 (7.2%) patients within 30 days of follow-up. There was no significant difference in the incidence of the primary endpoint between patients with QFR <0.75 and those with "gray zone" lesions (0.75≤ QFR ≤0.8) (log-rank P=0.325). Patients with QFR <0.75 and those with "gray zone" lesions (0.75≤ QFR ≤0.8) had a higher incidence of primary endpoint events compared to patients with QFR >0.8. [QFR <0.75 vs. QFR >0.8: adjusted hazard ratio (HR) =20.70, P<0.001; 0.75≤ QFR ≤0.8 vs. QFR >0.8: HR =15.99, P<0.001]. The independent predictors of MACEs events within 30 days after NCS were albumin level [HR =0.92, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.87-0.98; P=0.008], emergency surgery (HR =4.12, 95% CI: 1.66-10.23; P=0.002), and QFR ≤0.8 (HR =15.92, 95% CI: 5.96-42.51; P<0.001). In addition, adjusting the original Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) with QFR ≤0.8 as a risk factor significantly improved the risk stratification of postoperative adverse events, with the adjusted AUC rising from 0.574 to 0.740 (P<0.001).ConclusionsQFR ≤0.8 could independently predict perioperative cardiovascular adverse events in patients with CAD undergoing NCS and improve the predictive value of original predictive index. Gray-zone lesions (0.75≤ QFR ≤0.8) should be actively treated.

Project description: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.

Project description:BackgroundLow cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is an important complication of cardiac surgery. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The incidence of LCOS after surgery is high in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Therefore, determining the risk factors of LCOS has clinical significance for the management of CHD. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of LCOS.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of children with CHD who underwent cardiac surgery at Shanghai Children's Medical Center between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2017. Demographic characteristics and baseline data were extracted from the health data resource center of the hospital, which integrates clinical routine data including medical records, diagnoses, orders, surgeries, laboratory tests, imaging, nursing, and other subsystems. Logistic regressions were performed to analyze the risk factors of LCOS.ResultsOverall, 8660 infants with CHD were included, and 864 (9.98%) had LCOS after surgery. The multivariate regression analysis identified that age (OR 0.992, 95% CI: 0.988-0.997, p = 0.001), tricuspid regurgitation (1.192, 1.072-1.326, p = 0.001), Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery-1 risk grade (1.166, 1.011-1.345, p = 0.035), aortic shunt (left-to-right: 1.37, 1.005-1.867, p = 0.046; bi-directional: 1.716, 1.138-2.587, p = 0.01), atrial shunt (left-to-right: 1.407, 1.097-1.805, p = 0.007; right-to-left: 3.168, 1.944-5.163, p < 0.001; bi-directional: 1.87, 1.389-2.519, p < 0.001), ventricular level shunt (left-to-right: 0.676, 0.486-0.94, p = 0.02; bi-directional: 2.09, 1.611-2.712, p < 0.001), residual shunt (3.489, 1.502-8.105, p = 0.004), left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (3.934, 1.673-9.254, p = 0.002), right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (3.638, 1.225-10.798, p = 0.02), circulating temperature (mild hypothermia: 1.526, 95% CI: 1.205-1.934, p < 0.001; middle and low temperature: 1.738, 1.236-2.443, p = 0.001), duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (1.009, 1.006-1.012, p < 0.001), myocardial preservation using histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (1.677, 1.298-2.167, p < 0.001), and mitral insufficiency (1.714, 1.239-2.37, p < 0.001) were independent risk predictors of LCOS.ConclusionsThe incidence of postoperative LCOS in CHD children remains high. Circulation temperature, myocardial preservation using histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate, and usage of residual shunt after surgery were independent risk predictors for LCOS.
