Postoperative Complications Are Not Elevated in Well-Compensated ESRD Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: End-Stage Renal Disease Cardiac Surgery Outcomes.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at high risk for cardiac disease requiring surgery, and have been shown to have increased surgical risks. There have been significant improvements in ESRD management, surgical techniques, and patient selection over the past 10 y. We evaluated rates of serious postoperative outcomes in stable, well-dialyzed patients with ESRD undergoing nonemergent cardiac surgery compared to the general cardiac surgery population.Methods
In this propensity-score matched study, we evaluated 1451 adult patients who underwent nonemergent cardiac surgery at the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) between 2011 and 2016. Patients with ESRD were compared to nonESRD patients. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint, including 30-d mortality, stroke, postoperative infection, and prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS).Results
A total of 35 patients with ESRD met inclusion criteria. These select patients were younger with few comorbidities than the nonESRD population. There were no statistically significant differences in the composite outcome between ESRD and nonESRD patients in the propensity-matched analysis (OR 0.70, CI 0.29-1.72, P = 0.44). There were no significant differences or trends for in-hospital mortality, postoperative stroke, infection, ICU LOS, or hospital LOS between the patients with and without ESRD.Conclusions
Stable ESRD patients undergoing nonemergent surgery are not at increased risk of major postoperative complications when compared to those without ESRD. Well-compensated ESRD patients should not be excluded from surgical consideration.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) have an impact on the recovery of adults after surgery. It is therefore important to establish whether preoperative respiratory rehabilitation can decrease the risk of PPCs and to identify adults who might benefit from respiratory rehabilitation.ObjectivesOur primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of preoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on PPCs in adults undergoing cardiac or major abdominal surgery. We looked at all-cause mortality and adverse events.Search methodsWe searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2014, Issue 10), MEDLINE (1966 to October 2014), EMBASE (1980 to October 2014), CINAHL (1982 to October 2014), LILACS (1982 to October 2014), and ISI Web of Science (1985 to October 2014). We did not impose any language restrictions.Selection criteriaWe included randomized controlled trials that compared preoperative IMT and usual preoperative care for adults undergoing cardiac or major abdominal surgery.Data collection and analysisTwo or more review authors independently identified studies, assessed trial quality, and extracted data. We extracted the following information: study characteristics, participant characteristics, intervention details, and outcome measures. We contacted study authors for additional information in order to identify any unpublished data.Main resultsWe included 12 trials with 695 participants; five trials included participants awaiting elective cardiac surgery and seven trials included participants awaiting elective major abdominal surgery. All trials contained at least one domain judged to be at high or unclear risk of bias. Of greatest concern was the risk of bias associated with inadequate blinding, as it was impossible to blind participants due to the nature of the study designs. We could pool postoperative atelectasis in seven trials (443 participants) and postoperative pneumonia in 11 trials (675 participants) in a meta-analysis. Preoperative IMT was associated with a reduction of postoperative atelectasis and pneumonia, compared with usual care or non-exercise intervention (respectively; risk ratio (RR) 0.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34 to 0.82 and RR 0.45, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.77). We could pool all-cause mortality within postoperative period in seven trials (431 participants) in a meta-analysis. However, the effect of IMT on all-cause postoperative mortality is uncertain (RR 0.40, 95% CI 0.04 to 4.23). Eight trials reported the incidence of adverse events caused by IMT. All of these trials reported that there were no adverse events in both groups. We could pool the mean duration of hospital stay in six trials (424 participants) in a meta-analysis. Preoperative IMT was associated with reduced length of hospital stay (MD -1.33, 95% CI -2.53 to -0.13). According to the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group guidelines for evaluating the impact of healthcare interventions, the overall quality of studies for the incidence of pneumonia was moderate, whereas the overall quality of studies for the incidence of atelectasis, all-cause postoperative death, adverse events, and duration of hospital stay was low or very low.Authors' conclusionsWe found evidence that preoperative IMT was associated with a reduction of postoperative atelectasis, pneumonia, and duration of hospital stay in adults undergoing cardiac and major abdominal surgery. The potential for overestimation of treatment effect due to lack of adequate blinding, small-study effects, and publication bias needs to be considered when interpreting the present findings.

Project description:Cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass induce a substantial immune and inflammatory response, the overactivation of which is associated with significant complications. Longitudinal DNA methylation profiling allows the potential to identify changes in gene regulatory mechanisms that are secondary to surgery and to identify molecular processes that predict and/or cause postoperative complications. In this study, we measure DNA methylation in preoperative and postoperative whole blood samples from 96 patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. We identify several loci with statistically significant postoperative changes in methylation. Additionally, two of these loci are associated with new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation, a significant complication after cardiac surgery. This research establishes that there are statistically significant changes in DNA methylation that occur immediately after cardiac surgery and that these acute alterations in DNA methylation have the granularity to identify processes associated with major postoperative complications.

Project description:Troponin-I (TN-I) levels are elevated following pediatric cardiac surgery with speculation that particular patterns may have prognostic significance. There is lack of procedure-specific data regarding postoperative TN-I levels in infants undergoing cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that TN-I elevation varies with type of surgery and persistent elevation predicts poor prognosis. We prospectively measured serial TN-I levels (preoperatively, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively) in 90 infants (age < 1 year) undergoing cardiac surgery: off cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (n?=?15), on CPB (n?=?43), and on CPB with ventricular incision (CPB with ventricular incision; n?=?32). All patients had undetectable baseline TN-I levels. The area under the curve of TN-I levels over the 48-hour period was significantly different among the surgical groups (P < 0.002), and highest in patients with CPB with ventricular incision. Generally, TN-I levels peaked by 4 hours after surgery and returned to near-normal levels within 48 hours. A persistent TN-I rise beyond 8 hours after surgery was a strong predictor of postoperative hypoperfusion injury (defined as a composite endpoint of end-organ injury resulting from inadequate perfusion, odds ratio 21.5; P = 0.001) and mortality (30% in those with persistently high TN-I, compared with 3.5% in the remaining patients; P < 0.001), independent of patient age, anatomy and/or complexity of surgery, and level of postoperative support. Our data provide benchmark values for TN-I levels following cardiac surgery in infants. Extent of TN-I elevation correlates with type of surgery. Persistent TN-I elevation beyond 8 hours after surgery is strongly associated with postoperative hypoperfusion injury and mortality.

Project description:BackgroundCompared with historic ventilation strategies, modern lung-protective ventilation includes lower tidal volumes (VT), lower driving pressures, and application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). The contributions of each component to an overall intraoperative protective ventilation strategy aimed at reducing postoperative pulmonary complications have neither been adequately resolved, nor comprehensively evaluated within an adult cardiac surgical population. The authors hypothesized that a bundled intraoperative protective ventilation strategy was independently associated with decreased odds of pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery.MethodsIn this observational cohort study, the authors reviewed nonemergent cardiac surgical procedures using cardiopulmonary bypass at a tertiary care academic medical center from 2006 to 2017. The authors tested associations between bundled or component intraoperative protective ventilation strategies (VT below 8 ml/kg ideal body weight, modified driving pressure [peak inspiratory pressure - PEEP] below 16 cm H2O, and PEEP greater than or equal to 5 cm H2O) and postoperative outcomes, adjusting for previously identified risk factors. The primary outcome was a composite pulmonary complication; secondary outcomes included individual pulmonary complications, postoperative mortality, as well as durations of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit stay, and hospital stay.ResultsAmong 4,694 cases reviewed, 513 (10.9%) experienced pulmonary complications. After adjustment, an intraoperative lung-protective ventilation bundle was associated with decreased pulmonary complications (adjusted odds ratio, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.42-0.75). Via a sensitivity analysis, modified driving pressure below 16 cm H2O was independently associated with decreased pulmonary complications (adjusted odds ratio, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.39-0.66), but VT below 8 ml/kg and PEEP greater than or equal to 5 cm H2O were not.ConclusionsThe authors identified an intraoperative lung-protective ventilation bundle as independently associated with pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery. The findings offer insight into components of protective ventilation associated with adverse outcomes and may serve as targets for future prospective interventional studies investigating the impact of specific protective ventilation strategies on postoperative outcomes after cardiac surgery.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Postoperative cardiac arrest is uncommon but associated with a high mortality risk in general surgery patients and is often preceded by postoperative complications. The relationships between previous complications and mortality after cardiac arrest in general surgery patients have not been completely evaluated. METHODS:A retrospective, observational cohort of general surgery in patients with cardiac arrest occurring after postoperative day (POD) #0 (and up to POD #30) was obtained from the 2012-2013 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Previous complication was defined as at least one of the following occurring before the POD of cardiac arrest: (1) acute kidney injury; (2) acute respiratory failure; (3) deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolus; (4) myocardial infarction; (5) sepsis/septic shock; (6) stroke; and/or (7) transfusion. The associations between previous complications and mortality after cardiac arrest were assessed using Cox proportional hazards models that adjusted for preoperative risk factors. RESULTS:Of 1352 patients with postoperative cardiac arrest, 746 patients (55%) developed at least 1 complication before cardiac arrest. Overall 30-day mortality was 71% (958/1352) and was similar among patients with and without a previous complication (71% [533/746] vs 70% [425/606]; P = .60). Patients with previous complications did not have an increased risk of mortality, compared to patients without previous complications, in adjusted Cox models (hazard ratio, 1.03; 95% confidence interval, 0.90-1.18; P = .70). In addition, no previous complication was associated with increased mortality risk in individual analyses. CONCLUSIONS:Among general surgery patients with cardiac arrest after POD #0, complications occurring before cardiac arrest are common but are not associated with increased mortality risk.

Project description:Purpose:In this study, the effect of intravenous vitamin C during surgery on the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac surgery was observed, and its protective effect on the lungs was evaluated to provide a reference for clinical medication. Patients and Methods:Patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were selected. The patients were divided into group A and group C by random sequence. Patients in group A received intravenous vitamin C 1 g 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia, 10 minutes before cardiac reanimation and at the moment of sternal closure. Patients in group C were intravenously injected with the same volume of saline at the same time. The primary outcome was the postoperative pulmonary complication severity score. Other outcomes were the incidence of PPCs, awakening time, extubation time, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, adverse events, oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), alveolar arterial oxygen partial pressure difference (A-aDO2), dynamic lung compliance (Cd) and static lung compliance (Cs). Results:Seventy patients completed the study. Compared to group C, the postoperative pulmonary complication score [2(2-3) vs 2(1-2); P=0.009] and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (32.43% vs 12.12%; P =0.043) were lower in group A. There were no significant differences in awakening time, extubation time, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, adverse events, PaO2/FiO2, A-aDO2, Cs, and Cd between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:In summary, this small randomized trial including low-risk cardiac surgery patients shows that intravenous vitamin C may safely be administered and may be helpful to prevent PPCs after cardiac surgery.

Project description:Surgeons constantly try to achieve optimal surgical outcome, number, or extent of postoperative complications being an important part of it. Oncological surgeries are conventionally more challenging and complex compared with most nononcological ones. Gawande et al. devised SAS in 2007 in Boston as a predictor tool for postoperative complications (J Am Coll Surg 204:201-208, 2007). A validation study was done by in another cohort of 100 patients; however, only 70% of them had pathologically confirmed malignancies (Ann Surg 240(2):205-213, 2004). We attempt to assess SAS as a tool to predict postoperative complications in a series of 100 gynecological oncological patients operated at tertiary care center. SAS score of 100 patients with gynecologic malignancies, undergoing surgery at a tertiary care center, was prospectively collected over 4 years. These patients were observed for development of any complications occurring up to 30 days postsurgery. The complication events were graded as per Clavien-Dindo classification (Indian J Gynecol Oncolog 15:49, 2017). The data obtained was statistically analyzed by chi-square test. Thirty complication events were recorded in these 100 patients over a period of 4 years. Majority of complication events were grade IIIa or less (22 out of 30); there was only one death on 8th postoperative day. Fifty percent of patients were with SAS score of 5 or less developed complications compared with just 22.9% in patients with a score of 6 or more. Lower SAS score might be associated with higher postoperative complications in patients undergoing gynecologic oncological surgeries. Thus, patients with lower scores may benefit from a triage to more intensive postoperative care.

Project description:Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is common in patients following cardiac surgery. According to studies on non-cardiac surgery, males suffered from higher incidence of POD. However, there is no report about effect of gender differences on POD occurrence in cardiac surgery patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of gender differences on POD occurrence in adult patients after cardiac valve surgery. Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study. We recorded the clinical data in adult patients who underwent elective cardiac valve surgery from May 2019 to October 2020. POD was assessed by the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit. Univariate analysis was used to screen the potential risk factors. Collinearity analysis was conducted to detect overlapping predictor variables on the outcomes. A multivariate logistic regression with odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to identify the independent risk factors. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was performed to show the good calibration of the logistic regression model. Results: In total, we recorded the perioperative data in 431 adult patients, including 212 males and 219 females. Sixty patients suffered from POD, including 39 males and 21 females. Twenty-one perioperative variables were selected, and 11 were screened by univariate analysis. We did not detect the severe collinearity among the 11 variables. Male gender was identified as a significant risk factor in POD occurrence in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (Adjusted OR: 2.213, 95% CI: 1.049-4.670, P = 0.037). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test demonstrated good calibration of the logistic regression model (χ2 = 7.238, P = 0.511). Besides, compared with females, the relationship of male and delirium subtypes was as follows: (1) hyperactive: adjusted OR: 3.384, 95% CI: 1.335-8.580, P = 0.010; (2) hypoactive: adjusted OR: 0.509, 95% CI: 0.147-1.766, P = 0.287. A Stratification analysis by age demonstrated that the males showed higher POD incidence in patients aged younger than 60 years (adjusted OR: 4.384, 95% CI: 1.318-14.586, P = 0.016). Conclusions: Male gender is an important risk factor in POD occurrence in patients following cardiac surgery. Furthermore, the incidence of hyperactive delirium is higher in males. Besides, the male patients aged younger than 60 years are at high risk of POD. We should pay more attention to the male patients to prevent their POD occurrence.

Project description:Stroke is a devastating and potentially preventable complication of cardiac surgery. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a commonly antifibrinolytic agent in cardiac surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), however, there is concern that it might increase incidence of stroke after cardiac surgery. In this retrospective study, we investigated whether TXA usage could increase postoperative stroke in cardiac surgery.A retrospective study was conducted from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2015, in 2,016 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, 664 patients received intravenous TXA infusion and 1,352 patients did not receive any antifibrinolytic agent. Univariate and propensity-weighted multivariate regression analysis were applied for data analysis.Intraoperative TXA administration was associated with postoperative stroke (1.7% vs. 0.5%; adjusted OR, 4.11; 95% CI, 1.33 to 12.71; p = 0.014) and coma (adjusted OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.06 to 7.26; p = 0.038) in cardiac surgery. As subtype analysis was performed, TXA administration was still associated with postoperative stroke (1.7% vs. 0.3%; adjusted OR, 5.78; 95% CI, 1.34 to 27.89; p = 0.018) in patients undergoing valve surgery or multi-valve surgery only, but was not associated with postoperative stroke (1.7% vs. 1.3%; adjusted OR, 5.21; 95% CI, 0.27 to 101.17; p = 0.276) in patients undergoing CABG surgery only. However, TXA administration was not associated with postoperative mortality (adjusted OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 0.56 to 3.71; p = 0.451), seizure (adjusted OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.42 to 3.04; p = 0.816), continuous renal replacement therapy (adjusted OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.56 to 3.28; p = 0.495) and resternotomy for postoperative bleeding (adjusted OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 0.55 to 4.30; p = 0.405). No difference was found in postoperative ventilation time (adjusted B, -1.45; SE, 2.33; p = 0.535), length of intensive care unit stay (adjusted B, -0.12; SE, 0.25; p = 0.633) and length of hospital stay (adjusted B, 0.48; SE, 0.58; p = 0.408).Based on the 5-year experience of TXA administration in cardiac surgery with CPB, we found that postoperative stroke was associated with intraoperative TXA administration in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, especially in those undergoing valve surgeries only. This study may suggest that TXA should be administrated according to clear indications after evaluating the bleeding risk in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, especially in those with high stroke risk.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) can induce microvascular dysfunction and tissue hypoperfusion. We hypothesized that the alterations in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived parameters would be associated with post-operative complications in cardiac surgery patients. METHODS:Prospective observational study performed at two University Hospitals. Ninety patients undergoing cardiac surgery with ECC were enrolled. The NIRS sensor was applied on the thenar eminence. A vascular occlusion test (VOT, 3-min ischemia) was performed at baseline (t0), at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission (t1), 3 (t2) and 6 (t3) hours later. Baseline tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), oxygen extraction rate and microvascular reactivity indices were calculated. RESULTS:In the first hours after cardiac surgery, StO2 tended to increase (86% [80-89] at T3 versus 82% [79-86] at T0, p?=?ns), while both tissue oxygen extraction and microvascular reactivity tended to decrease, as indicated by increasing occlusion slope (-?8.1%/min [-?11.2 to -?7] at T3 versus -?11.2%/min [-?13.9 to -?7.9] at T0, p?=?ns) and decreasing recovery slope (1.9%/sec [1.1-2.9] at T3 versus 3.1%/sec [2.3-3.9] at T0, p?=?ns). No substantial differences were found in NIRS-derived variables and their changes over time between patients with complications and those without complications. CONCLUSIONS:Peripheral tissue oxygen extraction and microvascular reactivity were reduced during the first hours after cardiac surgery. NIRS-derived parameters were not able to predict complications in this population of cardiac surgery patients.
