RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether morbid obesity should serve as an independent factor in the decision for same day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy. METHODS: Retrospective review was performed of patients with BMI ≥ 40 who underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy within a single comprehensive cancer center between January 2018 - August 2020. Demographics, perioperative factors, post-operative monitoring, complications, and readmissions were compared between patients who underwent same day discharge and overnight observation using Fisher's exact tests and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. RESULTS: 374 patients with BMI ≥ 40 were included. Eighty-three (22.2%) patients underwent same day discharge, and 291 (77.8%) patients underwent overnight observation. Factors associated with increased likelihood of same day discharge included younger age (median age 53 vs 58; p = 0.001), lower BMI (median BMI 45 vs 47; p = 0.005), and fewer medical co-morbidities (Charlson Co-Morbidity Index 2 vs 3; p < 0.001). On multivariate regression analysis, frailty (OR 2.16 [1.14-4.11], p = 0.019) and surgical completion time after 12 PM (OR 3.67 [2.16-6.24], p < 0.001) were associated with increased risk of overnight observation. Few patients admitted for routine overnight observation required medical intervention (n = 14, 4.8%); most of these patients were frail (64.3%). The overall hospital readmission rate within 30 days of discharge was 3.2% (n = 12), with no patients discharged on the day of surgery being readmitted. CONCLUSIONS: Morbid obesity alone should not serve as a contraindication to same day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy. Admission for observation was associated with low rates of clinically meaningful intervention, and patients who underwent same day discharge were not at increased risk of adverse outcome.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is a point-of-care viscoelastic test used in trauma for goal-directed transfusion. However, there are limited data on baseline ROTEM parameters in the U.S. obstetric population. Obtaining baseline parameters is a first step in implementing a goal-directed massive transfusion protocol in obstetric hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to establish pre- and postdelivery baseline parameters in a high-risk obstetric population and determine their association with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). STUDY DESIGN: Prospective observational study of patients ≥34 weeks' gestation, at high risk of PPH, admitted for delivery. INTEM, EXTEM, FIBTEM, and APTEM assays were performed at the time of admission to labor and delivery and then 2 hours after delivery. Primary outcome was pre- and postdelivery ROTEM parameters among women without PPH. A sample size of 60 women was needed for >90% power to detect at least 50% correlation between pre- and postdelivery assuming a loss of 10% of participants to follow-up. RESULTS: Of 60 women in the study, 10 (17%) had PPH. Baseline characteristics were not different between those with or without PPH. Pre- and postdelivery ROTEM parameters were not significantly different except for APTEM. None of the patients who had PPH, compared with 4 (10%) of those who did not, had shortened clotting time and higher maximum clot firmness in postdelivery APTEM compared with EXTEM, a pattern suggestive of hyperfibrinolysis (p = 0.4). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we describe baseline ROTEM parameters in women at high risk of PPH. The majority of patients did not have a ROTEM pattern that is suggestive of hyperfibrinolysis, for which tranexamic acid is thought to be beneficial. Based on our findings, previously established obstetric transfusion thresholds for goal-directed massive transfusion protocols are likely valid for the majority of the obstetric population regardless of the presence of comorbidities or pregnancy complications. KEY POINTS: · ROTEM parameters do not vary significantly before and after delivery.. · Most patients did not have a hyperfibrinolysis pattern, for which tranexamic acid is thought to be beneficial.. · Previous goal-directed obstetric transfusion thresholds are likely valid in most populations..

RESUMO

Objective: To determine the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge (SDD) following minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) for elderly patients and to evaluate associations between age, frailty, and postoperative outcomes. Methods: Retrospective review was conducted of patients aged ≥ 70 who underwent MIH within a single gynecologic oncology institution from 2018 to 2020. Demographics, peri-operative factors, postoperative complications, and 30-day readmission rates were collected. Frailty was determined by an 11-point modified frailty index ≥ 2. Outcomes were compared between SDD and observation groups using Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Results: Of 169 patients included in the analysis, 8.9% (n = 15) underwent SDD, and 91.1% (n = 154) were admitted for OBS following MIH. Demographics, peri-operative factors, and frailty rates (33% SDD vs 43.5% observation; p = 0.59) were similar between groups. 86.7% (n = 13) of SDD cases were completed before 12PM, and none were completed after 6PM. No SDD patients had early post-operative complications or hospital readmissions. Early postoperative complications were diagnosed in 9 (5.8%) patients admitted for OBS, and the 30-day hospital readmission rate for patients who underwent OBS was 8.4% (n = 13). While elderly patients who met objective frailty criteria (n = 72) did not have a higher likelihood of early post-operative complications (44.4% vs 55.6%; p = 0.909), they did have a higher likelihood of ED visit within 30 days of discharge (15.3 vs 3.1%; p = 0.009), and a trend was noted toward a higher rate of 30-day hospital readmission (12.5% vs 4.1%; p = 0.080). Conclusions: Elderly patients undergoing SDD following MIH did not have increased morbidity or mortality. Elderly patients who meet objective criteria for frailty, however, represent a more vulnerable population.
