Intraoperative and postanesthesia care unit fluid administration as risk factors for postoperative complications in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing free tissue transfer.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:This study aims to evaluate the impact of perioperative fluid administration, defined as fluid delivered intraoperatively and in the postanesthesia care unit, on postoperative outcomes. METHODS:Medical records of 102 patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma undergoing free flap reconstruction between January 2011 and December 2015 were reviewed. The primary endpoint was development of a postoperative complication according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Perioperative factors recorded were Washington University Head and Neck Comorbidity Index, operating time, vasopressor use, blood loss, intraoperative fluid, and perioperative fluid. RESULTS:Greater perioperative fluid administration was independently associated with surgical complications, flap complications, overall incidence of any complication, and increased length of stay. Greater intraoperative fluid administration was independently associated with higher rates of surgical complications. Intraoperative delivery of vasopressors was not associated with flap or surgical complications. CONCLUSION:Receiving less perioperative fluid was associated with fewer complications and decreased length of stay.

Project description:BackgroundDramatic hemodynamic fluctuation occurs frequently during surgery for pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. However, the criteria of intraoperative hemodynamic instability vary widely, and most of them were defined arbitrarily but not according to patients' prognosis. The objective was to analyze the relationship between different thresholds and durations of intraoperative hyper-/hypotension and the risk of postoperative complications in patients undergoing surgery for pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma.MethodsThis was a retrospective single-center cohort study performed in a tertiary care hospital from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2017. Three hundred twenty-seven patients who underwent surgery for pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, of which the diagnoses were confirmed by postoperative pathologic examination, were enrolled. Those who were less than 18?years, underwent surgery involving non-tumor organs, or had incomplete data were excluded. The primary endpoint was a composite of the occurrence of AKI or other complications during hospital stay after surgery. Multivariate Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between different thresholds and durations of intraoperative hyper-/hypotension and the development of postoperative complications.ResultsForty three (13.1%) patients developed complications during hospital stay after surgery. After adjusting for confounding factors, intraoperative hypotension, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) of ?95?mmHg for ?20?min (OR 3.211; 99% CI 1.081-9.536; P =?0.006), SBP of ?90?mmHg for ?20?min (OR 3.680; 98.8% CI 1.107-12.240; P =?0.006), SBP of ?85?mmHg for ?10?min (OR 3.975; 98.3% CI 1.321-11.961; P =?0.003), and SBP of ?80?mmHg for ?1?min (OR 3.465; 95% CI 1.484-8.093; P =?0.004), were associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. On the other hand, intraoperative hypertension was not significantly associated with the development of postoperative complications.ConclusionsFor patients undergoing surgery for pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, intraoperative hypotension is associated with increased postoperative complications; and the harmful effects are level- and duration-dependent. The effects of intraoperative hypertension need to be studied further.

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"Lung-protective ventilation" describes a ventilation strategy involving low tidal volumes (VTs) and/or low driving pressure/plateau pressure and has been associated with improved outcomes after mechanical ventilation. We evaluated the association between intraoperative ventilation parameters (including positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP], driving pressure, and VT) and 3 postoperative outcomes: (1) PaO2/fractional inspired oxygen tension (FIO2), (2) postoperative pulmonary complications, and (3) 30-day mortality.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed adult patients who underwent major noncardiac surgery and remained intubated postoperatively from 2006 to 2015 at a single US center. Using multivariable regressions, we studied associations between intraoperative ventilator settings and lowest postoperative PaO2/FIO2 while intubated, pulmonary complications identified from discharge diagnoses, and in-hospital 30-day mortality.ResultsAmong a cohort of 2096 cases, the median PEEP was 5 cm H2O (interquartile range = 4-6), median delivered VT was 520 mL (interquartile range = 460-580), and median driving pressure was 15 cm H2O (13-19). After multivariable adjustment, intraoperative median PEEP (linear regression estimate [B] = -6.04; 95% CI, -8.22 to -3.87; P < .001), median FIO2 (B = -0.30; 95% CI, -0.50 to -0.10; P = .003), and hours with driving pressure >16 cm H2O (B = -5.40; 95% CI, -7.2 to -4.2; P < .001) were associated with decreased postoperative PaO2/FIO2. Higher postoperative PaO2/FIO2 ratios were associated with a decreased risk of pulmonary complications (adjusted odds ratio for each 100 mm Hg = 0.495; 95% CI, 0.331-0.740; P = .001, model C-statistic of 0.852) and mortality (adjusted odds ratio = 0.495; 95% CI, 0.366-0.606; P < .001, model C-statistic of 0.820). Intraoperative time with VT >500 mL was also associated with an increased likelihood of developing a postoperative pulmonary complication (adjusted odds ratio = 1.06/hour; 95% CI, 1.00-1.20; P = .042).ConclusionsIn patients requiring postoperative intubation after noncardiac surgery, increased median FIO2, increased median PEEP, and increased time duration with elevated driving pressure predict lower postoperative PaO2/FIO2. Intraoperative duration of VT >500 mL was independently associated with increased postoperative pulmonary complications. Lower postoperative PaO2/FIO2 ratios were independently associated with pulmonary complications and mortality. Our findings suggest that postoperative PaO2/FIO2 may be a potential target for future prospective trials investigating the impact of specific ventilation strategies for reducing ventilator-induced pulmonary injury.
