The association of bispectral index values and metrics of cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass.

ABSTRACT:

Study objective

Low bispectral index (BIS) values have been associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. However, trials of optimizing BIS by titrating anesthetic administration have reported conflicting results. One potential explanation is that cerebral perfusion may also affect BIS, but the extent of this relationship is not clear. Therefore, we examined whether BIS would be associated with cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass, when anesthetic concentration was constant.

Design

Observational cohort study.

Setting

Cardiac operating room.

Patients

Seventy-nine patients with cardiopulmonary bypass surgery were included.

Measurements

Continuous BIS, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂) were monitored, with analysis during a period of constant anesthetic. Mean flow index (Mx) was calculated as Pearson correlation between MAP and CBFV. The lower limit of autoregulation (LLA) was identified as the MAP value at which Mx increased >0.4 with decreasing blood pressure. Postoperative delirium was assessed using the 3D-Confusion Assessment Method.

Results

Mean BIS was lower during periods of MAP < LLA compared with BIS when MAP>LLA (mean 49.35 ± 10.40 vs. 50.72 ± 10.04, p = 0.002, mean difference = 1.38 [standard error: 0.42]). There was a dose response effect, with the BIS proportionately decreasing as MAP decreased below LLA (β = 0.15, 95% CI for the average slope across all patients 0.07 to 0.23, p < 0.001). In contrast, BIS was relatively unchanged when MAP was above LLA (β = 0.03, 95% CI for the average slope across all patients -0.02 to 0.09, p = 0.22). Additionally, increasing CBFV and rSO₂ were associated with increasing BIS. Patients with postoperative delirium had lower mean BIS and higher percentage of time duration with BIS <45 compared to patients without delirium.

Conclusions

There was an association of BIS and metrics of cerebral perfusion during a period of constant anesthetic administration, but the absolute magnitude of change in BIS as MAP decreased below the LLA was small.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:We sought to define the lower and upper limits of cerebral blood flow autoregulation and the optimal blood pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass. We further sought to identify variables predictive of these autoregulation end points. METHODS:Cerebral autoregulation was monitored continuously with transcranial Doppler in 614 patients during cardiopulmonary bypass enrolled in 3 investigations. A moving Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated between cerebral blood flow velocity and mean arterial pressure to generate the variable mean velocity index. Optimal mean arterial pressure was defined as the mean arterial pressure with the lowest mean velocity index indicating the best autoregulation. The lower and upper limits of cerebral blood flow autoregulation were defined as the mean arterial pressure at which mean velocity index was increasingly pressure passive (ie, mean velocity index ?0.4) with declining or increasing blood pressure, respectively. RESULTS:The mean (± standard deviation) lower and upper limits of cerebral blood flow autoregulation, and optimal mean arterial pressure were 65 ± 12 mm Hg, 84 ± 11 mm Hg, and 78 ± 11 mm Hg, respectively, after adjusting for study enrollment. In 17% of patients, though, the lower limit of cerebral autoregulation was above this optimal mean arterial pressure, whereas in 29% of patients the upper limit of autoregulation was below the population optimal mean arterial pressure. Variables associated with optimal mean arterial pressure based on multivariate regression analysis were nonwhite race (increased 2.7 mm Hg; P = .034), diuretics use (decreased 1.9 mm Hg; P = .049), prior carotid endarterectomy (decreased 5.5 mm Hg; P = .019), and duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (decreased 1.28 per 60 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass). The product of the duration and magnitude that mean arterial pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass was below the lower limit of cerebral autoregulation was associated with the risk for stroke (P = .02). CONCLUSIONS:Real-time monitoring of autoregulation may improve individualizing mean arterial pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass and improving patient outcomes.

Project description:Absence of pulmonary perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may be associated with reduced postoperative oxygenation. Effects of active pulmonary artery perfusion were explored in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing cardiac surgery.90 patients were randomised to receive pulmonary artery perfusion during CPB with either oxygenated blood (n=30) or histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution (n=29) compared with no pulmonary perfusion (n=31). The coprimary outcomes were the inverse oxygenation index compared at 21?hours after starting CPB and longitudinally in a mixed-effects model (MEM). Secondary outcomes were tracheal intubation time, serious adverse events, mortality, days alive outside the intensive care unit (ICU) and outside the hospital.21?hours after starting CPB patients receiving pulmonary artery perfusion with normothermic oxygenated blood had a higher oxygenation index compared with no pulmonary perfusion (mean difference (MD) 0.94; 95% CI 0.05 to 1.83; p=0.04). The blood group had also a higher oxygenation index both longitudinally (MEM, p=0.009) and at 21?hours (MD 0.99; CI 0.29 to 1.69; p=0.007) compared with the HTK group. The latest result corresponds to a difference in the arterial partial pressure of oxygen of 23?mm?Hg with a median fraction of inspired oxygen of 0.32. Yet the blood or HTK groups did not demonstrate a longitudinally higher oxygenation index compared with no pulmonary perfusion (MEM, p=0.57 and 0.17). Similarly, at 21?hours there was no difference in the oxygenation index between the HTK group and those no pulmonary perfusion (MD 0.06; 95% CI -0.73 to 0.86; p=0.87). There were no statistical significant differences between the groups for the secondary outcomes.Pulmonary artery perfusion with normothermic oxygenated blood during cardiopulmonary bypass appears to improve postoperative oxygenation in patients with COPD undergoing cardiac surgery. Pulmonary artery perfusion with hypothermic HTK solution does not seem to improve postoperative oxygenation.NCT01614951; Pre-results.

Project description:ObjectiveMetabolism management plays an essential role during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). There are different metabolic management devices integrated to heart-lung machines; the most commonly used and accepted metabolic target is indexed oxygen delivery (DO2i) (280 mL/min/m2) and cardiac index (CI) (2.4 L/min/m2), which can be managed independently or according to other metabolic parameters. Our objective was to compare lactate production during CPB procedures using different metabolic management: DO2i in relation to indexed oxygen extraction ratio (O2ERi) and CI in relation to mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2).MethodsData on 500 CPB procedures were retrospectively collected in a specialized regional tertiary cardiac surgery center in Italy between September and 2012 and November 2019. In group A, the DO2i with 280 mL/min/m2 target in relation to O2ERi 25% was used; in group B, CI with 2.4 L/min/m2 target in relation to SvO2 75% was used. During CPB, serial arterial blood gas analyses with blood lactate and glucose determinations were obtained. Hyperlactatemia (HL) was defined as a peak arterial blood lactate concentration >3 mmol/L. The postoperative outcome of patients with or without HL was compared.ResultsEight pre- and intraoperative factors were found to be significantly associated with peak blood lactate level during CPB at univariate analysis. HL (>3 mmol/L) was detected in 15 (6%) patients of group A and in 42 (16.8%) patients of group B (P = .022); hyperglycemia (>160 mg/dL) was found in 23 (9.2%) patients of group A and in 53 (21.2%) patients of group B (P = .038). Patients with HL during CPB had a significant increase in serum creatinine value, higher rate of prolonged mechanical ventilation time and intensive care unit stay. A cutoff of DO2i <270 mL/min/m2 in relation to O2ERi >35% in group A and a cutoff of CI <2.4 L/min/m2 in relation to SvO2 <65% in group B were found to have a positive predictive value of 80% and 75% for HL, respectively. A cutoff of DO2i >290 mL/min/m2 in relation to O2ERi 24% in group A and a cutoff of CI >2.4 L/min/m2 in relation to SvO2 >75% in group B were found to have a negative predictive value of 78% and 62% for HL, respectively.ConclusionsThis retrospective observational analysis showed that management of DO2i in relation to O2ERi was 16% more specific in terms of negative predictive value for HL during CPB compared with the use of CI in relation to SvO2. Group A reported a significant reduction in the incidence of intraoperative lactate peak, correlated with postoperative reduction of serum creatinine value, mechanical ventilation time, and intensive care unit stay, compared with group B.

Project description:BackgroundReducing depth of anesthesia and anesthetic exposure may help prevent delirium, but trials have been conflicting. Most studies were conducted under general anesthesia or in cognitively impaired patients. It is unclear whether reducing depth of anesthesia beyond levels consistent with general anesthesia reduces delirium in cognitively intact patients. The authors' objective was to determine whether a bundled approach to reduce anesthetic agent exposure as determined by Bispectral Index (BIS) values (spinal anesthesia with targeted sedation based on BIS values) compared with general anesthesia (masked BIS) reduces delirium.MethodsImportant eligibility criteria for this parallel-arm randomized trial were patients 65 yr or greater undergoing lumbar spine fusion. The intervention group received spinal anesthesia with targeted sedation to BIS greater than 60 to 70. The control group received general anesthesia (masked BIS). The primary outcome was delirium using the Confusion Assessment Method daily through postoperative day 3, with blinded assessment.ResultsThe median age of 217 patients in the analysis was 72 (interquartile range, 69 to 77). The median BIS value in the spinal anesthesia with targeted sedation based on BIS values group was 62 (interquartile range, 53 to 70) and in the general anesthesia with masked BIS values group was 45 (interquartile range, 41 to 50; P < 0.001). Incident delirium was not different in the spinal anesthesia with targeted sedation based on BIS values group (25.2% [28 of 111] vs. the general anesthesia with masked BIS values group (18.9% [20 of 106]; P = 0.259; relative risk, 1.22 [95% CI, 0.85 to 1.76]). In prespecified subgroup analyses, the effect of anesthetic strategy differed according to the Mini-Mental State Examination, but not the Charlson Comorbidity Index or age. Two strokes occurred among patients receiving spinal anesthesia and one death among patients receiving general anesthesia.ConclusionsSpinal anesthesia with targeted sedation based on BIS values compared with general anesthesia with masked BIS values did not reduce delirium after lumbar fusion.Editor’s perspective
