RESUMO

Rationale: Lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies have been proven beneficial in the operating room (OR) and the ICU. However, differential practices in ventilator management persist, often resulting in adjustments of ventilator parameters when transitioning patients from the OR to the ICU. Objectives: To characterize patterns of ventilator adjustments during the transition of mechanically ventilated surgical patients from the OR to the ICU and assess their impact on 28-day mortality. Methods: Hospital registry study including patients undergoing general anesthesia with continued, controlled mechanical ventilation in the ICU between 2008 and 2022. Ventilator parameters were assessed 1 hour before and 6 hours after the transition. Measurements and Main Results: Of 2,103 patients, 212 (10.1%) died within 28 days. Upon OR-to-ICU transition, VT and driving pressure decreased (-1.1 ml/kg predicted body weight [IQR, -2.0 to -0.2]; P < 0.001; and -4.3 cm H2O [-8.2 to -1.2]; P < 0.001). Concomitantly, respiratory rates increased (+5.0 breaths/min [2.0 to 7.5]; P < 0.001), resulting overall in slightly higher mechanical power (MP) in the ICU (+0.7 J/min [-1.9 to 3.0]; P < 0.001). In adjusted analysis, increases in MP were associated with a higher 28-day mortality rate (adjusted odds ratio, 1.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-1.14; P < 0.001; adjusted risk difference, 0.7%; 95% confidence interval, 0.4-1.0, both per 1 J/min). Conclusion: During transition of mechanically ventilated patients from the OR to the ICU, ventilator adjustments resulting in higher MP were associated with a greater risk of 28-day mortality.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Platelets are central to acute myocardial infarction (MI). How the platelet proteome is altered during MI is unknown. We sought to describe changes in the platelet proteome during MI and identify corresponding functional consequences. Approach and Results: Platelets from patients experiencing ST-segment-elevation MI (STEMI) before and 3 days after treatment (n=30) and matched patients with severe stable coronary artery disease before and 3 days after coronary artery bypass grafting (n=25) underwent quantitative proteomic analysis. Elevations in the proteins S100A8 and S100A9 were detected at the time of STEMI compared with stable coronary artery disease (S100A8: FC, 2.00; false discovery rate, 0.05; S100A9: FC, 2.28; false discovery rate, 0.005). During STEMI, only S100A8 mRNA and protein levels were correlated in platelets (R=0.46, P=0.012). To determine whether de novo protein synthesis occurs, activated platelets were incubated with 13C-labeled amino acids for 24 hours and analyzed by mass spectrometry. No incorporation was confidently detected. Platelet S100A8 and S100A9 was strongly correlated with neutrophil abundance at the time of STEMI. When isolated platelets and neutrophils were coincubated under quiescent and activated conditions, release of S100A8 from neutrophils resulted in uptake of S100A8 by platelets. Neutrophils released S100A8/A9 as free heterodimer, rather than in vesicles or extracellular traps. In the community-based Bruneck study (n=338), plasma S100A8/A9 was inversely associated with platelet reactivity-an effect abrogated by aspirin. CONCLUSIONS: Leukocyte-to-platelet protein transfer may occur in a thromboinflammatory environment such as STEMI. Plasma S100A8/A9 was negatively associated with platelet reactivity. These findings highlight neutrophils as potential modifiers for thrombotic therapies in coronary artery disease.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies suggest that ketamine stimulates breathing. We investigated whether adding a ketamine infusion at low and high doses to propofol sedation improves inspiratory flow and enhances sedation in spontaneously breathing critically ill patients. METHODS: In this prospective interventional study, twelve intubated, spontaneously breathing patients received ketamine infusions at 5 mcg/kg/min, followed by 10 mcg/kg/min for 1 h each. Airway flow, pressure, and esophageal pressure were recorded during a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) at baseline, and during the SBT conducted at the end of each ketamine infusion regimen. SBT consisted of one-minute breathing with zero end-expiratory pressure and no pressure support. Changes in inspiratory flow at the pre-specified time points were assessed as the primary outcome. Ketamine-induced change in beta-gamma electroencephalogram power was the key secondary endpoint. We also analyzed changes in other ventilatory parameters respiratory timing, and resistive and elastic inspiratory work of breathing. RESULTS: Ketamine infusion of 5 and 10 mcg/kg/min increased inspiratory flow (median, IQR) from 0.36 (0.29-0.46) L/s at baseline to 0.47 (0.32-0.57) L/s and 0.44 (0.33-0.58) L/s, respectively (p = .013). Resistive work of breathing decreased from 0.4 (0.1-0.6) J/l at baseline to 0.2 (0.1-0.3) J/l after ketamine 10 mcg/kg/min (p = .042), while elastic work of breathing remained unchanged. Electroencephalogram beta-gamma power (19-44 Hz) increased compared to baseline (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: In intubated, spontaneously breathing patients receiving a constant rate of propofol, ketamine increased inspiratory flow, reduced inspiratory work of breathing, and was associated with an "activated" electroencephalographic pattern. These characteristics might facilitate weaning from mechanical ventilation.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether intraoperative ventilation using lower driving pressure decreases the risk of nonhome discharge. METHODS: We conducted a historical cohort study of patients aged ≥ 60 yr who were living at home before undergoing elective, noncardiothoracic surgery at two tertiary healthcare networks in Massachusetts between 2007 and 2018. We assessed the association of the median driving pressure during intraoperative mechanical ventilation with nonhome discharge using multivariable logistic regression analysis, adjusted for patient and procedural factors. Contingent on the primary association, we assessed effect modification by patients' baseline risk and mediation by postoperative respiratory failure. RESULTS: Of 87,407 included patients, 12,584 (14.4%) experienced nonhome discharge. In adjusted analyses, a lower driving pressure was associated with a lower risk of nonhome discharge (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83 to 0.93, per 10 cm H2O decrease; P < 0.001). This association was magnified in patients with a high baseline risk (aOR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.81, per 10 cm H2O decrease, P-for-interaction < 0.001). The findings were confirmed in 19,518 patients matched for their baseline respiratory system compliance (aOR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.81 to 1.00; P = 0.04 for low [< 15 cm H2O] vs high [≥ 15 cm H2O] driving pressures). A lower risk of respiratory failure mediated the association of a low driving pressure with nonhome discharge (20.8%; 95% CI, 15.0 to 56.8; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative ventilation maintaining lower driving pressure was associated with a lower risk of nonhome discharge, which can be partially explained by lowered rates of postoperative respiratory failure. Future randomized controlled trials should target driving pressure as a potential intervention to decrease nonhome discharge.


RéSUMé: OBJECTIF: Évaluer si la ventilation peropératoire utilisant une pression motrice plus faible diminue le risque de congé hors domicile. MéTHODE: Nous avons réalisé une étude de cohorte historique de patients âgés de ≥ 60 ans vivant à la maison avant de bénéficier d'une chirurgie non cardiothoracique non urgente dans deux réseaux de soins de santé tertiaires du Massachusetts entre 2007 et 2018. Nous avons évalué l'association entre la pression motrice médiane pendant la ventilation mécanique peropératoire et le congé ailleurs qu'au domicile à l'aide d'une analyse de régression logistique multivariable, ajustée pour tenir compte des facteurs liés aux patients et à l'intervention. En fonction de l'association primaire, nous avons évalué la modification de l'effet par le risque initial des patients et la médiation par l'insuffisance respiratoire postopératoire. RéSULTATS: Sur les 87 407 patients inclus, 12 584 (14,4 %) ont reçu leur congé ailleurs qu'au domicile. Dans les analyses ajustées, une pression motrice plus faible était associée à un risque réduit de congé hors domicile (rapport de cotes ajusté [RCa], 0,88; intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 %, 0,83 à 0,93, par diminution de 10 cm H2O; P < 0,001). Cette association a été amplifiée chez les patients présentant un risque initial élevé (RCa, 0,77; IC 95 %, 0,73 à 0,81, par diminution de 10 cm H2O, P-pour-interaction < 0,001). Les résultats ont été confirmés chez 19 518 patients appariés pour la compliance initiale de leur système respiratoire (RCa, 0,90; IC 95 %, 0,81 à 1,00; P = 0,04 pour des pressions motrices faibles [< 15 cm H2O] vs élevées [≥ 15 cm H2O]). Un risque plus faible d'insuffisance respiratoire a entraîné une association entre une faible pression motrice et un congé à l'extérieur du domicile (20,8 %; IC 95 %, 15,0 à 56,8 ; P < 0,001). CONCLUSION: La ventilation peropératoire maintenant une pression motrice plus faible a été associée à un risque plus faible de congé hors domicile, ce qui peut s'expliquer en partie par des taux réduits d'insuffisance respiratoire postopératoire. Les futures études randomisées contrôlées devraient cibler la pression motrice comme intervention potentielle pour réduire les congés hors domicile.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether different gamma-aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) sedatives such as propofol and benzodiazepines carry differential risks of post-extubation delirium in the ICU. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Seven ICUs in an academic hospital network, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA). PATIENTS: Ten thousand five hundred and one adult patients mechanically ventilated for over 24 hours. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We tested the hypothesis that benzodiazepine versus propofol-based sedation is associated with fewer delirium-free days within 14 days after extubation. Further, we hypothesized that the measured sedation level evoked by GABAergic drugs is a better predictor of delirium than the drug dose administered. The proportion of GABAergic drug-induced deep sedation was defined as the ratio of days with a mean Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale of less than or equal to -3 during mechanical ventilation. Multivariable regression and effect modification analyses were used. Delirium-free days were lower in patients who received a high proportion of deep sedation using benzodiazepine compared with propofol-based sedation (adjusted absolute difference, -1.17 d; 95% CI, -0.64 to -1.69; p < 0.001). This differential effect was magnified in elderly patients (age > 65) and in patients with liver or kidney failure (p-for-interaction < 0.001) but not observed in patients who received a low proportion of deep sedation (p = 0.95). GABAergic-induced deep sedation days during mechanical ventilation was a better predictor of post-extubation delirium than the GABAergic daily average effective dose (area under the curve 0.76 vs 0.69; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Deep sedation during mechanical ventilation with benzodiazepines compared with propofol is associated with increased risk of post-extubation delirium. Our data do not support the view that benzodiazepine-based compared with propofol-based sedation in the ICU is an independent risk factor of delirium, as long as deep sedation can be avoided in these patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mechanical power during ventilation estimates the energy delivered to the respiratory system through integrating inspiratory pressures, tidal volume, and respiratory rate into a single value. It has been linked to lung injury and mortality in the acute respiratory distress syndrome, but little evidence exists regarding whether the concept relates to lung injury in patients with healthy lungs. This study hypothesized that higher mechanical power is associated with greater postoperative respiratory failure requiring reintubation in patients undergoing general anesthesia. METHODS: In this multicenter, retrospective study, 230,767 elective, noncardiac adult surgical out- and inpatients undergoing general anesthesia between 2008 and 2018 at two academic hospital networks in Boston, Massachusetts, were included. The risk-adjusted association between the median intraoperative mechanical power, calculated from median values of tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), plateau pressure (Pplat), and peak inspiratory pressure (Ppeak), using the following formula: mechanical power (J/min) = 0.098 × RR × Vt × (PEEP + ½[Pplat - PEEP] + [Ppeak - Pplat]), and postoperative respiratory failure requiring reintubation within 7 days, was assessed. RESULTS: The median intraoperative mechanical power was 6.63 (interquartile range, 4.62 to 9.11) J/min. Postoperative respiratory failure occurred in 2,024 (0.9%) patients. The median (interquartile range) intraoperative mechanical power was higher in patients with postoperative respiratory failure than in patients without (7.67 [5.64 to 10.11] vs. 6.62 [4.62 to 9.10] J/min; P < 0.001). In adjusted analyses, a higher mechanical power was associated with greater odds of postoperative respiratory failure (adjusted odds ratio, 1.31 per 5 J/min increase; 95% CI, 1.21 to 1.42; P < 0.001). The association between mechanical power and postoperative respiratory failure was robust to additional adjustment for known drivers of ventilator-induced lung injury, including tidal volume, driving pressure, and respiratory rate, and driven by the dynamic elastic component (adjusted odds ratio, 1.35 per 5 J/min; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.73; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Higher mechanical power during ventilation is statistically associated with a greater risk of postoperative respiratory failure requiring reintubation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The impact of high vs low intraoperative tidal volumes on postoperative respiratory complications remains unclear. We hypothesised that the effect of intraoperative tidal volume on postoperative respiratory complications is dependent on respiratory system elastance. METHODS: We retrospectively recorded tidal volume (Vt; ml kg-1 ideal body weight [IBW]) in patients undergoing elective, non-cardiothoracic surgery from hospital registry data. The primary outcome was respiratory failure (requiring reintubation within 7 days of surgery, desaturation after extubation, or both). The primary exposure was defined as the interaction between Vt and standardised respiratory system elastance (driving pressure divided by Vt; cm H2O/[ml kg-1]). Multivariable logistic regression models, with and without interaction terms (which categorised Vt as low [Vt ≤8 ml kg-1] or high [Vt >8 ml kg-1]), were adjusted for potential confounders. Additional analyses included path mediation analysis and fractional polynomial modelling. RESULTS: Overall, 10 821/197 474 (5.5%) patients sustained postoperative respiratory complications. Higher Vt was associated with greater risk of postoperative respiratory complications (adjusted odds ratio=1.42 per ml kg-1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.35-1.50]; P<0.001). This association was modified by respiratory system elastance (P<0.001); in patients with low compliance (<42.4 ml cm H2O-1), higher Vt was associated with greater risk of postoperative respiratory complications (adjusted risk difference=0.3% [95% CI, 0.0-0.5] at 41.2 ml cm H2O-1 compliance, compared with 5.8% [95% CI, 3.8-7.8] at 14 ml cm H2O-1 compliance). This association was absent when compliance exceeded 41.2 ml cm H2O-1. Adverse effects associated with high Vt were entirely mediated by driving pressures (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The association of harm with higher tidal volumes during intraoperative mechanical ventilation is modified by respiratory system elastance. These data suggest that respiratory elastance should inform the design of perioperative trials testing intraoperative ventilatory strategies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether intraoperative arterial hypotension is associated with postoperative delirium. We hypothesized that intraoperative hypotension within a range frequently observed in clinical practice is associated with increased odds of delirium after surgery. METHODS: Adult noncardiac surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia at 2 academic medical centers between 2005 and 2017 were included in this retrospective cohort study. The primary exposure was intraoperative hypotension, defined as the cumulative duration of an intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) <55 mm Hg, categorized into and short (<15 minutes; median [interquartile range {IQR}], 2 [1-4] minutes) and prolonged (≥15 minutes; median [IQR], 21 [17-31] minutes) durations of intraoperative hypotension. The primary outcome was a new diagnosis of delirium within 30 days after surgery. In secondary analyses, we assessed the association between a MAP decrease of >30% from baseline and postoperative delirium. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for patient- and procedure-related factors, including demographics, comorbidities, and markers of procedural severity, was used. RESULTS: Among 316,717 included surgical patients, 2183 (0.7%) were diagnosed with delirium within 30 days after surgery; 41.7% and 2.6% of patients had a MAP <55 mm Hg for a short and a prolonged duration, respectively. A MAP <55 mm Hg was associated with postoperative delirium compared to no hypotension (short duration of MAP <55 mm Hg: adjusted odds ratio [ORadj], 1.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-1.33; P < .001 and prolonged duration of MAP <55 mm Hg: ORadj, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.27-1.94; P < .001). Compared to a short duration of a MAP <55 mm Hg, a prolonged duration of a MAP <55 mm Hg was associated with greater odds of postoperative delirium (ORadj, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.05-1.58; P = .016). The association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative delirium was duration-dependent (ORadj for every 10 cumulative minutes of MAP <55 mm Hg: 1.06; 95% CI, 1.02-1.09; P =.001) and magnified in patients who underwent surgeries of longer duration (P for interaction = .046; MAP <55 mm Hg versus no MAP <55 mm Hg in patients undergoing surgery of >3 hours: ORadj, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.23-1.61; P < .001). A MAP decrease of >30% from baseline was not associated with postoperative delirium compared to no hypotension, also when additionally adjusted for the cumulative duration of a MAP <55 mm Hg (short duration of MAP decrease >30%: ORadj, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.91-1.40; P = .262 and prolonged duration of MAP decrease >30%: ORadj, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.95-1.49; P = .141). CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, a MAP <55 mm Hg was associated with a duration-dependent increase in odds of postoperative delirium. This association was magnified in patients who underwent surgery of long duration.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: In patients with coronavirus disease 2019-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome, sedatives and opioids are commonly administered which may lead to increased vulnerability to neurologic dysfunction. We tested the hypothesis that patients with coronavirus disease 2019-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome are at higher risk of in-hospital mortality due to prolonged coma compared with other patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome matched for disease severity. DESIGN: Propensity-matched cohort study. SETTING: Seven ICUs in an academic hospital network, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA). PATIENTS: All mechanically ventilated coronavirus disease 2019 patients between March and May 2020 were identified and matched with patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome of other etiology. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Using clinical data obtained from a hospital registry, we matched 114 coronavirus disease 2019 patients to 228 noncoronavirus disease 2019-related acute respiratory distress syndrome patients based on baseline disease severity. Coma was identified using the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale less than or equal to -3. Multivariable logistic regression and mediation analyses were used to assess the percentage of comatose days, sedative medications used, and the association between coronavirus disease 2019 and in-hospital mortality. In-hospital mortality (48.3% vs 31.6%, adjusted odds ratio, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.34-3.44; p = 0.002), the percentage of comatose days (66.0% ± 31.3% vs 36.0% ± 36.9%, adjusted difference, 29.35; 95% CI, 21.45-37.24; p < 0.001), and the hypnotic agent dose (51.3% vs 17.1% of maximum hypnotic agent dose given in the cohort; p < 0.001) were higher among patients with coronavirus disease 2019. Brain imaging did not show a higher frequency of structural brain lesions in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (6.1% vs 7.0%; p = 0.76). Hypnotic agent dose was associated with coma (adjusted coefficient, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.45-0.78; p < 0.001) and mediated (p = 0.001) coma. Coma was associated with in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 5.84; 95% CI, 3.58-9.58; p < 0.001) and mediated 59% of in-hospital mortality (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with matched patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome of other etiology, patients with coronavirus disease 2019 received higher doses of hypnotics, which was associated with prolonged coma and higher mortality.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Two previously published trials (ARDS et Curarisation Systematique [ACURASYS] and Reevaluation of Systemic Early Neuromuscular Blockade [ROSE]) presented equivocal evidence on the effect of neuromuscular blocking agent infusions in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (acute respiratory distress syndrome). The sedation regimen differed between these trials and also within the ROSE trial between treatment and control groups. We hypothesized that the proportion of deeper sedation is a mediator of the effect of neuromuscular blocking agent infusions on mortality. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Seven ICUs in an academic hospital network, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA). PATIENTS: Intubated and mechanically ventilated ICU patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (Berlin definition) admitted between January 2008 until June 2019. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The proportion of deeper sedation was defined as days with nonlight sedation as a fraction of mechanical ventilation days in the ICU after acute respiratory distress syndrome diagnosis. Using clinical data obtained from a hospital network registry, 3,419 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome were included, of whom 577 (16.9%) were treated with neuromuscular blocking agent infusions, for a mean (sd) duration of 1.8 (±1.9) days. The duration of deeper sedation was prolonged in patients receiving neuromuscular blocking agent infusions (4.6 ± 2.2 d) compared with patients without neuromuscular blocking agent infusions (2.4 ± 2.2 d; p < 0.001). The proportion of deeper sedation completely mediated the negative effect of neuromuscular blocking agent infusions on in-hospital mortality (p < 0.001). Exploratory analysis in patients who received deeper sedation revealed a beneficial effect of neuromuscular blocking agent infusions on mortality (49% vs 51%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.63-0.99, adjusted absolute risk difference, -0.05; p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS: In acute respiratory distress syndrome patients who receive neuromuscular blocking agent infusions, a prolonged, high proportion of deeper sedation is associated with increased mortality. Our data support the view that clinicians should minimize the duration of deeper sedation after recovery from neuromuscular blocking agent infusion.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We examined the association between emergent postoperative tracheal intubation and the use of supraglottic airway devices (SGAs) vs tracheal tubes. METHODS: We included data from adult noncardiac surgical cases under general anaesthesia between 2008 and 2018. We only included cases (n=59 991) in which both airways were deemed to be feasible options. Multivariable logistic regression, instrumental variable analysis, propensity matching, and mediation analysis were used. RESULTS: Use of a tracheal tube was associated with a higher risk of emergent postoperative intubation (adjusted absolute risk difference [ARD]=0.80%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.64-0.97; P<0.001), and a higher risk of post-extubation hypoxaemia (ARD=3.9%; 95% CI, 3.4-4.4; P<0.001). The effect was modified by the use of non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs); mediation analyses revealed that 28.9% (95% CI, 14.4-43.4%; P<0.001) of the main effect was attributable to NMBA. Airway management modified the association of NMBA and risk of emergent postoperative intubation (Pinteraction=0.02). Patients managed with an SGA had higher odds of NMBA-associated reintubation compared to patients managed with a tracheal tube (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=3.65, 95% CI, 1.99-6.67 vs aOR=1.68, 95% CI, 1.29-2.18 [P<0.001], respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing procedures under general anaesthesia that could be managed with either SGA or tracheal tube, use of an SGA was associated with lower risk of emergent postoperative intubation. The effect can partly be explained by use of NMBAs. Use of NMBAs in patients with an SGA appears to increase the risk of emergent postoperative intubation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We tested the primary hypothesis that use of general anaesthesia vs sedation increases vulnerability to adverse discharge (in-hospital mortality or new discharge to a nursing facility) after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, adult patients undergoing ERCP with general anaesthesia or sedation at a tertiary care hospital were included. We calculated adjusted absolute risk differences between patients receiving general anaesthesia vs sedation using provider preference-based instrumental variable analysis. We also used mediation analysis to determine whether intraoperative hypotension during general anaesthesia mediated its effect on adverse discharge. RESULTS: Among 17 538 patients undergoing ERCP from 2007 through 2018, 16 238 received sedation and 1300 received GA. Rates of adverse discharge were 5.8% (n=938) after sedation and 16.2% (n=210) after general anaesthesia. Providers' adjusted mean predicted probabilities of using general anaesthesia for ERCP ranged from 0.2% to 63.2% of individual caseloads. Utilising provider-related variability in the use of general anaesthesia for instrumental variable analysis resulted in an 8.6% risk increase (95% confidence interval, 4.5-12.6%; P<0.001) in adverse discharge among patients receiving general anaesthesia vs sedation. Intraoperative hypotensive events occurred more often during general anaesthesia and mediated 23.8% (95% confidence interval, 3.9-43.7%: P=0.019) of the primary association. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that use of sedation during ERCP facilitates reduced adverse discharge for patients for whom general anaesthesia is not clearly indicated. Intraoperative hypotension during general anaesthesia for ERCP partly mediates the increased vulnerability to adverse discharge.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Residual neuromuscular blockade is associated with an increased incidence of postoperative respiratory complications. The REsidual neuromuscular block Prediction Score (REPS) identifies patients at high risk for residual neuromuscular blockade after surgery. METHODS: A total of 101,510 adults undergoing noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia from October 2005 to December 2018 at a tertiary care center in Massachusetts were analyzed for the primary outcome of postoperative respiratory complications (invasive mechanical ventilation requirement within 7 postoperative days or immediate postextubation desaturation [oxygen saturation {Spo2} <90%] within 10 minutes). The primary objective was to assess the association between the REPS and respiratory complications. The secondary objective was to compare REPS and train-of-four (TOF) ratio <0.90 on the strength of their association with respiratory complications. RESULTS: A high REPS (≥4) was associated with an increase in odds of respiratory complications (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.13 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.06-1.21]; P < .001). In 6224 cases with available TOF ratio measurements, a low TOF ratio (<0.9) was associated with respiratory complications (adjusted OR, 1.43 [95% CI, 1.11-1.85]; P = .006), whereas a high REPS was not (adjusted OR, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.74-1.23]; P = .73) (P = .018 for comparison between ORs). CONCLUSIONS: The REPS may be implemented as a screening tool to encourage clinicians to use quantitative neuromuscular monitoring in patients at risk of residual neuromuscular blockade. A positive REPS should be followed by a quantitative assessment of the TOF ratio.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In this study, we explored the utility of intravenous opioid rescue analgesia in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU-OpResc) as a single marker of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) failure and evaluated the resource implications and quality improvement applications of this measure. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of all TEA placements over a three-year period at a single academic medical center in Boston, Massachusetts. The study exposure was PACU-OpResc. Primary outcome was PACU length of stay (LOS). Secondary outcomes included reasons for delayed PACU discharge and intraoperative hypotension. The analyses were adjusted for confounding variables including patient comorbidities, surgical complexity, intraoperative intravenous opioids, chronic opioid use and local anesthetic bolus through TEA catheter. Post analysis chart review was conducted to determine the positive predictive value (PPV) of PACU-OpResc for inadequate TEA. As a first Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle, we then introduced a checkbox for documentation of a sensory level check after TEA placement. Post implementation data was collected for 7 months. RESULTS: PACU-OpResc was required by 211 (22.1%) patients who received preoperative TEA, was associated with longer PACU LOS (incidence rate ratio 1.20, 95% CI:1.07-1.34, p = 0.001) and delayed discharge due to inadequate pain control (odds ratio 5.15, 95% CI 3.51-7.57, p <  0.001). PACU-OpResc had a PPV of 76.3 and 60.4% for re-evaluation and manipulation of the TEA catheter in PACU, respectively. Following implementation of a checkbox, average monthly compliance with documented sensory level check after TEA placement was noted to be 39.7%. During this time, a reduction of 8.2% in the rate of PACU-OpResc was observed. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that PACU-OpResc can be used as a quality assurance measure or surrogate for TEA efficacy, to track performance and monitor innovation efforts aimed at improving analgesia, such as our intervention to facilitate sensory level checks and reduced PACU-OpResc. TRIAL REGISTRATION: not applicable.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess whether intraoperative use of nitrous oxide (N2O) as an adjunct to general anesthesia is associated with a shorter length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). METHODS: We analyzed data from adult patients who underwent non-cardiothoracic surgery under general anesthesia between May 2008 and December 2018. We assessed the association between intraoperative low- and high-dose N2O and PACU length of stay. RESULTS: A total of 148,284 patients were included in the primary analysis. After adjusting for a priori defined confounders, a high dose of N2O significantly decreased PACU length of stay, with a calculated difference of -9.1 min (95% confidence interval [CI], -10.5 to -7.7; P < 0.001). Patients who received high-dose N2O had a lower incidence of both short- and prolonged-duration of intraoperative hypotension (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.85; 95% CI, 0.83 to 0.88; P < 0.001 and aOR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.80; P < 0.001, respectively) and received a lower total intraoperative vasopressor dose (-0.04 mg of norepinephrine equivalents; 95% CI, -0.06 to -0.01; P = 0.01). The effect of high-dose N2O on PACU length of stay was modified by surgical complexity (adjusted absolute difference: -26.1 min; 95% CI, -29.2 to -23.1; P < 0.001; P for interaction < 0.001), and most pronounced in patients who underwent complex surgery and received intraoperative antiemetic therapy (adjusted absolute difference: -38.9 min; 95% CI, -43.1 to -34.6; P < 0.001; P for interaction < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Nitrous oxide was dose-dependently associated with a decreased PACU length of stay. The effect was clinically relevant (> 30 min difference) in patients who underwent complex surgical procedures and received intraoperative antiemetic therapy.


RéSUMé: OBJECTIF: L'objectif de cette étude était de déterminer si l'utilisation peropératoire de protoxyde d'azote (N2O) en complément à l'anesthésie générale était associée à une durée de séjour écourtée en salle de réveil (SDR). MéTHODE: Nous avons analysé les données de patients adultes qui ont subi une chirurgie non cardiothoracique sous anesthésie générale entre mai 2008 et décembre 2018. Nous avons évalué l'association entre une faible dose et une dose élevée de N2O peropératoire et la durée du séjour en SDR. RéSULTATS: Au total, 148 284 patients ont été inclus dans notre analyse primaire. Après ajustement tenant compte des facteurs de confusion définis a priori, une dose élevée de N2O a considérablement écourté la durée du séjour en salle de réveil, avec une différence calculée de −9,1 min (intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 %, −10,5 à −7,7 ; P < 0,001). Chez les patients ayant reçu une dose élevée de N2O, l'incidence d'hypotension peropératoire de courte ou plus longue durée était plus faible (rapport de cotes ajusté [RCA], 0,85; IC 95 %, 0,83 à 0,88; P < 0,001 et RCA, 0,76; IC 95 %, 0,73 à 0,80; P < 0,001, respectivement); en outre, ces patients ont reçu une dose totale de vasopresseurs peropératoires inférieure (−0,04 mg d'équivalents de norépinéphrine; IC 95 %, −0,06 à −0,01; P = 0,01). L'effet d'une dose élevée de N2O sur la durée du séjour en SDR a été modifié par la complexité de la chirurgie (différence absolue ajustée : −26,1 min; IC 95 %, −29,2 à −23,1; P < 0,001; P pour l'interaction < 0,001), et était le plus prononcé chez les patients ayant subi une chirurgie complexe et reçu un traitement antiémétique peropératoire (différence absolue ajustée : −38,9 min; IC 95 %, −43,1 à −34,6; P < 0,001; P pour l'interaction < 0,001). CONCLUSION: Le protoxyde d'azote a été associé de façon dose-dépendante à une réduction de la durée du séjour en SDR. L'effet était cliniquement pertinent (différence > 30 minutes) chez les patients qui subissaient des interventions chirurgicales complexes et recevaient un traitement antiémétique peropératoire.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Adverse discharge disposition, which is discharge to a long-term nursing home or skilled nursing facility is frequent and devastating in older patients after lower-extremity orthopaedic surgery. Predicting individual patient risk allows for preventive interventions to address modifiable risk factors and helps managing expectations. Despite a variety of risk prediction tools for perioperative morbidity in older patients, there is no tool available to predict successful recovery of a patient's ability to live independently in this highly vulnerable population. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: In this study, we asked: (1) What factors predict adverse discharge disposition in patients older than 60 years after lower-extremity surgery? (2) Can a prediction instrument incorporating these factors be applied to another patient population with reasonable accuracy? (3) How does the instrument compare with other predictions scores that account for frailty, comorbidities, or procedural risk alone? METHODS: In this retrospective study at two competing New England university hospitals and Level 1 trauma centers with 673 and 1017 beds, respectively; 83% (19,961 of 24,095) of patients 60 years or older undergoing lower-extremity orthopaedic surgery were included. In all, 5% (1316 of 24,095) patients not living at home and 12% (2797 of 24,095) patients with missing data were excluded. All patients were living at home before surgery. The mean age was 72 ± 9 years, 60% (11,981 of 19,961) patients were female, 21% (4155 of 19,961) underwent fracture care, and 34% (6882 of 19,961) underwent elective joint replacements. Candidate predictors were tested in a multivariable logistic regression model for adverse discharge disposition in a development cohort of all 14,123 patients from the first hospital, and then included in a prediction instrument that was validated in all 5838 patients from the second hospital by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC-AUC).Thirty-eight percent (5360 of 14,262) of patients in the development cohort and 37% (2184 of 5910) of patients in the validation cohort had adverse discharge disposition. Score performance in predicting adverse discharge disposition was then compared with prediction scores considering frailty (modified Frailty Index-5 or mFI-5), comorbidities (Charlson Comorbidity Index or CCI), and procedural risks (Procedural Severity Scores for Morbidity and Mortality or PSS). RESULTS: After controlling for potential confounders like BMI, cardiac, renal and pulmonary disease, we found that the most prominent factors were age older than 90 years (10 points), hip or knee surgery (7 or 8 points), fracture management (6 points), dementia (5 points), unmarried status (3 points), federally provided insurance (2 points), and low estimated household income based on ZIP code (1 point). Higher score values indicate a higher risk of adverse discharge disposition. The score comprised 19 variables, including socioeconomic characteristics, surgical management, and comorbidities with a cutoff value of ≥ 23 points. Score performance yielded an ROC-AUC of 0.85 (95% confidence interval 0.84 to 0.85) in the development and 0.72 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.73) in the independent validation cohort, indicating excellent and good discriminative ability. Performance of the instrument in predicting adverse discharge in the validation cohort was superior to the mFI-5, CCI, and PSS (ROC-AUC 0.72 versus 0.58, 0.57, and 0.57, respectively). CONCLUSION: The Adverse Discharge in Older Patients after Lower Extremity Surgery (ADELES) score predicts adverse discharge disposition after lower-extremity surgery, reflecting loss of the ability to live independently. Its discriminative ability is better than instruments that consider frailty, comorbidities, or procedural risk alone. The ADELES score identifies modifiable risk factors, including general anesthesia and prolonged preoperative hospitalization, and should be used to streamline patient and family expectation management and improve shared decision making. Future studies need to evaluate the score in community hospitals and in institutions with different rates of adverse discharge disposition and lower income.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic heart failure undergoing noncardiac surgery may benefit from the haemodynamic profile of etomidate. However, the safety of etomidate in this population is unknown. We examined anaesthesiologist variation in etomidate use and assessed its safety using an instrumental variable approach to account for differences in treatment selection. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of 19 714 patients with heart failure undergoing noncardiac surgery at two tertiary care institutions from January 2006 to December 2017 was performed. The proportion of etomidate use among 294 anaesthesiologists was examined and adjusted risk differences (aRD) for in-hospital and 30-day mortality were calculated using physician preference for etomidate as an instrumental variable. RESULTS: Etomidate was used in 14.3% (2821/19 714) of patients. Preference for etomidate varied substantially among individual anaesthesiologists with the lowest and highest quartile users using etomidate in 0-4.7% and 20.4-66.7% of their own heart failure patients, respectively. The adjusted instrumental variable analysis showed no significant differences in the risk of in-hospital (aRD -0.2%; 95% confidence interval, -2.4%-1.9%; P=0.83) or 30 day mortality (aRD 0.2%; 95% confidence interval, -2.5%-2.9%; P=0.90). Anaesthesiologists with higher preferences for etomidate were more experienced (greater heart failure and total case volume) than anaesthesiologists with lower preferences for etomidate. CONCLUSIONS: We found substantial variability in anaesthesiologists' preference for etomidate for use in patients with heart failure undergoing noncardiac surgery. There was no association between etomidate use and in-hospital or 30-day mortality. Etomidate is not inferior to other currently used options for induction of general anaesthesia in patients with heart failure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: High ventilatory frequencies increase static lung strain and possibly lung stress by shortening expiratory time, increasing intrathoracic pressure, and causing dynamic hyperinflation. We hypothesised that high intraoperative ventilatory frequencies were associated with postoperative respiratory complications. METHODS: In this retrospective hospital registry study, we analysed data from adult non-cardiothoracic surgical cases performed under general anaesthesia with mechanical ventilation at a single centre between 2005 and 2017. We assessed the association between intraoperative ventilatory frequency (categorised into four groups) and postoperative respiratory complications, defined as composite of invasive mechanical ventilation within 7 days after surgery or peripheral oxygen desaturation after extubation, using multivariable logistic regression. In a subgroup, we adjusted analyses for arterial blood gas parameters. RESULTS: A total of 102 632 cases were analysed. Intraoperative ventilatory frequencies ranged from a median (inter-quartile range [IQR]) of 8 (8-9) breaths min-1 (Group 1) to 15 (14-18) breaths min-1 (Group 4). High ventilatory frequencies were associated with higher odds of postoperative respiratory complications (adjusted odds ratio=1.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-1.38; P<0.001), which was confirmed in a subgroup after adjusting for arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide and the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen. We identified considerable variability in the use of high ventilatory frequencies attributable to individual provider preference (ranging from 22% to 88%) and temporal change; however, the association with postoperative respiratory complications remained unaffected. CONCLUSIONS: High intraoperative ventilatory frequency was associated with increased risk of postoperative respiratory complications, and increased postoperative healthcare utilisation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) with a non-depolarising mechanism of action carry the risk of postoperative residual paralysis and are associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (POPC). Owing to the shorter duration of action, the depolarising NMBA succinylcholine may be associated with less postoperative residual paralysis, and hence fewer POPC. We tested the association of succinylcholine administration during anaesthesia and POPC. METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study of registry data from two large US academic medical centres, 244 850 adult noncardiac surgical patients undergoing general anaesthesia were included. The primary outcome was POPC, defined as post-extubation haemoglobin oxygen de-saturation to <90%, or re-intubation requiring intensive care unit admission within 7 days after surgery. The association between succinylcholine and POPC and its dose-dependency were tested in a hierarchical fashion using a multivariable logistic regression model. RESULTS: A total of 13 206 patients (5.4%) experienced POPC. Use of succinylcholine was associated with increased risk of POPC (adjusted odds ratio [ORAdj]=1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-1.16; P<0.001; adjusted risk=5.18%; 95% CI, 5.06-5.30 without and 5.69%; 95% CI, 5.53-5.85 with succinylcholine), with a dose-dependent relationship (ORAdj=1.08; 95% CI, 1.05-1.11 per mg kg-1; P<0.001). In patients receiving non-depolarising NMBAs, succinylcholine further increased the risk of POPC (ORAdj=1.08; 95% CI, 1.03-1.14; P=0.001). The association between succinylcholine and POPC was modified (P=0.03 for interaction) by the duration of surgery with higher odds of POPC in patients undergoing surgeries of <2 vs ≥2 h (ORAdj=1.24; 95% CI, 1.15-1.33 and 1.05; 95% CI, 1.00-1.10, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to our prediction, succinylcholine administration was associated with an increased risk of POPC. This association was dose-dependent and magnified in surgeries of shorter duration.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We hypothesised that Calabadion 1, an acyclic cucurbit[n]uril molecular container, reverses fentanyl-induced respiratory depression and dysfunction of the CNS. METHODS: Experiments were conducted in male Sprague-Dawley rats. A constant-rate i.v. infusion of fentanyl (12.5 or 25 µg kg-1 over 15 min) was administered followed by an i.v. bolus of Calabadion 1 (0.5-200 mg kg-1) or placebo. The primary outcome was reversal of ventilatory and respiratory depression, assessed by pneumotachography and arterial blood gas analysis, respectively. Key secondary outcomes were effects on fentanyl-induced central nervous dysfunction quantified by righting reflex, balance beam test, and electromyography (EMG). RESULTS: Calabadion 1 reversed fentanyl-induced respiratory depression across the endpoints minute ventilation, pH, and Paco2 (P=0.001). Compared with placebo, Calabadion 1 dose dependently (P for trend <0.001) reversed fentanyl-induced hypoventilation {81.9 [5.1] (mean [standard error of the mean]) vs 45.5 [12.4] ml min-1; P<0.001}, acidosis (pH 7.43 [0.01] vs 7.28 [0.04]; P=0.005), and hypercarbia (Paco2 43.4 [1.6] vs 63.4 [8.1] mm Hg; P=0.018). The effective Calabadion 1 doses required to reverse respiratory depression by 50% and 90% (ED50Res and ED90Res) were 1.7 and 15.6 mg kg-1, respectively. Higher effective doses were needed for recovery of righting reflex (ED50CNS: 9.6 mg kg-1; ED90CNS: 86.1 mg kg-1), which was accelerated by Calabadion 1 (4.6 [0.3] vs 9.0 [0.7] min; P<0.001). Calabadion 1 also significantly accelerated recovery of full functional mobility and reversal of muscle rigidity. CONCLUSIONS: Calabadion 1 selectively and dose dependently reversed the respiratory system and CNS side-effects of fentanyl.
