Hyperglycemia is common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with poor outcomes. This is a review of the perioperative insulin protocol being used at Medanta, the Medicity, which has a large volume cardiac surgery setup. Preoperatively, patients are usually continued on their preoperative outpatient medications. Intravenous insulin infusion is intiated postoperatively and titrated using a column method with a choice of 7 scales. Insulin dose is calculated as a factor of blood ...[more]

Project description:Background and objective Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal perioperative care pathways to help patients achieve early recovery after surgical procedures. However, no evidence could be found about its role in patients undergoing small bowel surgery. This study's objective was to determine the outcome of applying ERAS protocols in patients undergoing small bowel surgery. Materials and methods This study was a descriptive case series conducted in the Department of Surgery at Services Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, from September 2017 to August 2019. One hundred forty patients who underwent small bowel resection anastomosis were subjected to ERAS protocols. Written informed consent was received from all patients. Results The mean age of the patients was 34.1 ± 7.1 years. There were 101 (72.1%) men and 39 (27.9%) women in the study sample. The mean length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.59 ± 1.69 days. Postoperative wound infection occurred in six (4.3%) patients, while anastomotic leakage was observed in 12 (8.6%) patients. Five (3.6%) patients died within 30 days of surgery. A significantly increased length of postoperative hospital stay was associated with anastomotic leakage (9.08 ± 1.975 vs. 4.16 ± 0.83 days; p=0.00). Similarly, the frequency of wound infection (41.7% vs. 0.8%; p=0.00) and 30-day patient mortality (41.7% vs. 0%; p=0.00) was also significantly higher among those patients who acquired anastomotic leakage. Conclusion ERAS protocols were associated with a significant reduction in length of hospital stay of the patients undergoing small bowel surgery without any significant increase is anastomotic leakage, wound infection or mortality. Furthermore, anastomotic leakage occurred in the patients was significantly associated with a longer hospital stay, wound infection, and 30-day mortality. Therefore, ERAS protocols can be safely applied to small bowel surgery.

Project description:Background contextFast-track is an evidence-based multidisciplinary strategy for pre-, intra-, and postoperative management of patients during major surgery. To date, fast-track has not been recognized or accepted in all surgical areas, particularly in orthopedic spine surgery where it still represents a relatively new paradigm.PurposeThe aim of this review was provided an evidenced-based assessment of specific interventions, measurement, and associated outcomes linked to enhanced recovery pathways in spine surgery field.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review in three databases from February 2012 to August 2022 to assess the pre-, intra-, and postoperative key elements and the clinical evidence of fast-track protocols as well as specific interventions and associated outcomes, in patients undergoing to spine surgery.ResultsWe included 57 full-text articles of which most were retrospective. Most common fast-track elements included patient's education, multimodal analgesia, thrombo- and antibiotic prophylaxis, tranexamic acid use, urinary catheter and drainage removal within 24 hours after surgery, and early mobilization and nutrition. All studies demonstrated that these interventions were able to reduce patients' length of stay (LOS) and opioid use. Comparative studies between fast-track and non-fast-track protocols also showed improved pain scores without increasing complication or readmission rates, thus improving patient's satisfaction and functional recovery.ConclusionsAccording to the review results, fast-track seems to be a successful tool to reduce LOS, accelerate return of function, minimize postoperative pain, and save costs in spine surgery. However, current studies are mainly on degenerative spine diseases and largely restricted to retrospective studies with non-randomized data, thus multicenter randomized trials comparing fast-track outcomes and implementation are mandatory to confirm its benefit in spine surgery.

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:WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC:Cardiac surgery is associated with cognitive decline and postoperative delirium. The relationship between postoperative delirium and cognitive decline after cardiac surgery is unclear WHAT THIS ARTICLE TELLS US THAT IS NEW:The development of postoperative delirium is associated with a greater degree of cognitive decline 1 month after cardiac surgery. The development of postoperative delirium is not a predictor of cognitive decline 1 yr after cardiac surgery. BACKGROUND:Delirium is common after cardiac surgery and has been associated with morbidity, mortality, and cognitive decline. However, there are conflicting reports on the magnitude, trajectory, and domains of cognitive change that might be affected. The authors hypothesized that patients with delirium would experience greater cognitive decline at 1 month and 1 yr after cardiac surgery compared to those without delirium. METHODS:Patients who underwent coronary artery bypass and/or valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were eligible for this cohort study. Delirium was assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method. A neuropsychologic battery was administered before surgery, at 1 month, and at 1 yr later. Linear regression was used to examine the association between delirium and change in composite cognitive Z score from baseline to 1 month (primary outcome). Secondary outcomes were domain-specific changes at 1 month and composite and domain-specific changes at 1 yr. RESULTS:The incidence of delirium in 142 patients was 53.5%. Patients with delirium had greater decline in composite cognitive Z score at 1 month (greater decline by -0.29; 95% CI, -0.54 to -0.05; P = 0.020) and in the domains of visuoconstruction and processing speed. From baseline to 1 yr, there was no difference between delirious and nondelirious patients with respect to change in composite cognitive Z score, although greater decline in processing speed persisted among the delirious patients. CONCLUSIONS:Patients who developed delirium had greater decline in a composite measure of cognition and in visuoconstruction and processing speed domains at 1 month. The differences in cognitive change by delirium were not significant at 1 yr, with the exception of processing speed.

Project description:The central role of pancreas in glucose regulation imposes high demands on perioperative glucose management in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. In a post hoc subgroup analysis of a randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the perioperative use of subcutaneous (SC) fully closed-loop (FCL; CamAPS HX) versus usual care (UC) insulin therapy in patients undergoing partial or total pancreatic resection. Glucose control was compared using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics (% time with CGM values between 5.6 and 10.0 mmol/L and more). Over the time of hospitalization, FCL resulted in better glucose control than UC with more time spent in the target range 5.6-10.0 mmol/L (mean [standard deviation] % time in target 77.7% ± 4.6% and 41.1% ± 19.5% in FCL vs. UC subjects, respectively; mean difference 36.6% [95% confidence interval 18.5-54.8]), without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Findings suggest that an adaptive SC FCL approach effectively accommodated the highly variable insulin needs in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery.

Project description:ObjectiveWe performed a randomized trial to compare three insulin-titration protocols for tight glycemic control (TGC) in a surgical intensive care unit: an absolute glucose (Matias) protocol, a relative glucose change (Bath) protocol, and an enhanced model predictive control (eMPC) algorithm.Research design and methodsA total of 120 consecutive patients after cardiac surgery were randomly assigned to the three protocols with a target glycemia range from 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/l. Intravenous insulin was administered continuously or in combination with insulin boluses (Matias protocol). Blood glucose was measured in 1- to 4-h intervals as requested by the protocols.ResultsThe eMPC algorithm gave the best performance as assessed by time to target (8.8 +/- 2.2 vs. 10.9 +/- 1.0 vs. 12.3 +/- 1.9 h; eMPC vs. Matias vs. Bath, respectively; P < 0.05), average blood glucose after reaching the target (5.2 +/- 0.1 vs. 6.2 +/- 0.1 vs. 5.8 +/- 0.1 mmol/l; P < 0.01), time in target (62.8 +/- 4.4 vs. 48.4 +/- 3.28 vs. 55.5 +/- 3.2%; P < 0.05), time in hyperglycemia >8.3 mmol/l (1.3 +/- 1.2 vs. 12.8 +/- 2.2 vs. 6.5 +/- 2.0%; P < 0.05), and sampling interval (2.3 +/- 0.1 vs. 2.1 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.8 +/- 0.1 h; P < 0.05). However, time in hypoglycemia risk range (2.9-4.3 mmol/l) in the eMPC group was the longest (22.2 +/- 1.9 vs. 10.9 +/- 1.5 vs. 13.1 +/- 1.6; P < 0.05). No severe hypoglycemic episode (<2.3 mmol/l) occurred in the eMPC group compared with one in the Matias group and two in the Bath group.ConclusionsThe eMPC algorithm provided the best TGC without increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia while requiring the fewest glucose measurements. Overall, all protocols were safe and effective in the maintenance of TGC in cardiac surgery patients.

Project description:ObjectiveLiver disease (LD) is considered a risk factor for inferior outcomes in general and cardiac surgery, yet current cardiac surgery risk estimators exclude LD, and literature on the topic remains scant. We sought to evaluate whether the presence of advanced LD is associated with inferior outcomes following cardiac surgery.MethodsThis single-center, retrospective, observational study included 285 patients diagnosed with LD who underwent cardiac surgery in 2010 to 2020. The cohort contained 3 groups, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) class A (n = 219), CTP early-class B (n = 34), and CTP advanced-class B (n = 32). A model for end-stage liver disease score of 12.7 points (determined using a receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis on 30-day mortality) dichotomized class B into early- and advanced-groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of 30-day mortality.ResultsPatients in CTP advanced-class B had the longest length of stay (14 days), highest incidence of prolonged ventilation (46.9%), renal failure (21.9%), 30-day mortality (18.8%), and in-hospital mortality (18.8%). Incidence of ≥1 postoperative complication was higher in CTP advanced-class B (59.4%), compared with CTP class A (37.9%) and CTP early-class B (38.2%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that female sex (odds ratio, 3.01; 95% CI, 1.07-8.77; P = .037) and peripheral vascular disease (odds ratio, 4.01; 95% CI, 1.33-12.2; P = .013) were independent predictors of 30-day mortality in patients with advanced LD.ConclusionsSeverity of LD influences perioperative outcomes following cardiac surgery. Our data suggest that patients in CTP class A and selected patients in CTP class B (model for end-stage liver disease score <12.7) can undergo surgery with acceptable risk.

Project description:The study objective was to examine the utility of using proteinuria in preoperative risk stratification for acute kidney injury. Acute kidney injury is a common and important complication for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Proteinuria, which reflects structural damage to the glomeruli or renal tubules, may aid the prediction of acute kidney injury.The urine albumin to creatinine ratio and dipstick proteinuria concentration were prospectively measured in 1159 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The cohort was organized into 4 clinical risk categories based on the preoperative urine albumin to creatinine ratio: 10 mg/g or less (? 1.1 mg/mmol), 11 to 29 mg/g (1.2-3.3 mg/mmol), 30 to 299 mg/g (3.4-33.8 mg/mmol), and 300 mg/g or greater (? 33.9 mg/mmol). The primary outcome was postoperative acute kidney injury, defined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network stage I criterion (serum creatinine increase ? 50% or ? 0.3 mg/dL; 26.5 ?mol/L).An increase in the incidence of acute kidney injury was noted across the urine albumin to creatinine ratio categories. Adding the urine albumin to creatinine ratio to the clinical model to predict acute kidney injury improved the area under the curve from 0.67 to 0.70 (P < .001), and the continuous net reclassification improvement was 29% (P < .001). The urine albumin to creatinine ratio was also independently associated with the risk of in-hospital dialysis and intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay. Surgery status and preoperative glomerular filtration rate were effect modifiers; the association was stronger among those undergoing elective surgery and those with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 45 mL/min/1.73 m(2) or greater.Preoperative proteinuria provides graded stratification risk for acute kidney injury and is an independent predictor of other outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Project description:BackgroundSome observational studies have reported that transfusion of red-cell units that have been stored for more than 2 to 3 weeks is associated with serious, even fatal, adverse events. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery may be especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of transfusion.MethodsWe conducted a randomized trial at multiple sites from 2010 to 2014. Participants 12 years of age or older who were undergoing complex cardiac surgery and were likely to undergo transfusion of red cells were randomly assigned to receive leukocyte-reduced red cells stored for 10 days or less (shorter-term storage group) or for 21 days or more (longer-term storage group) for all intraoperative and postoperative transfusions. The primary outcome was the change in Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS; range, 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating more severe organ dysfunction) from the preoperative score to the highest composite score through day 7 or the time of death or discharge.ResultsThe median storage time of red-cell units provided to the 1098 participants who received red-cell transfusion was 7 days in the shorter-term storage group and 28 days in the longer-term storage group. The mean change in MODS was an increase of 8.5 and 8.7 points, respectively (95% confidence interval for the difference, -0.6 to 0.3; P=0.44). The 7-day mortality was 2.8% in the shorter-term storage group and 2.0% in the longer-term storage group (P=0.43); 28-day mortality was 4.4% and 5.3%, respectively (P=0.57). Adverse events did not differ significantly between groups except that hyperbilirubinemia was more common in the longer-term storage group.ConclusionsThe duration of red-cell storage was not associated with significant differences in the change in MODS. We did not find that the transfusion of red cells stored for 10 days or less was superior to the transfusion of red cells stored for 21 days or more among patients 12 years of age or older who were undergoing complex cardiac surgery.
