Estudio piloto sobre el uso de la Hiperfiltración Venosa Continua para el manejo de pacientes en estado crítico con inflamación desregulada / A pilot study into the use of Continuous Venous Hyperfiltration to manage patients in a critical state with dysregulated inflammation

Introducción: Los paradigmas de la hemofiltración para manejar pacientes críticos con una respuesta inflamatoria desregulada (RID) evalúan la función renal para su inicio, adaptación y finalización. Presentamos la Hiperfiltración Venosa Continua (Protocolo CONVEHY), en el cual una membrana de adsorción inespecífica (AN69-ST-heparina anclada) se utiliza con citrato como líquido anticoagulante y de sustitución. El protocolo CONVEHY utiliza herramientas fácilmente disponibles para lograr objetivos renales y no renales, guiándose por las respuestas fisiopatológicas. Objetivos: Comparar la respuesta a la membrana AN69-ST-HA cuando se utilizó heparina (He, n = 5: protocolo estándar) o citrato (Ci, n = 6: protocolo CONVEHY) para evaluar si fuera factible un estudio mayor sobre los beneficios de este protocolo. Materiales y métodos: En un estudio retrospectivo, se evaluaron los beneficios del protocolo CONVEHY en pacientes con RID en una unidad de cuidados críticos quirúrgicos (UCCq), evaluando las puntuaciones SOFA (He 11 +/- 2,35; Ci 11 +/- 3,63; p = 0,54) y APACHE II (He 28,60 +/- 9,40; Ci 24 +/- 8,46; p = 0,93). Resultados: Hospitalización (He 35,2 +/- 16,3 noches; Ci 9 +/- 2,53; p = 0,004), hospitalización tras el alta de UCCq (He 40,25 +/- 21,82; Ci 13,2 +/- 4,09; p = 0,063), pacientes hospitalizados > 20 días (He 80%; Ci 0%; p = 0,048), días con ventilación mecánica (He 16 +/- 5,66; Ci 4 +/- 1,72; p = 0,004) y la mortalidad predicha (55,39 +/- 26,13%) frente a la real en ambos grupos (9,1%; p = 0,004). Conclusiones: El protocolo CONVEHY mejora las respuestas clínicas de los pacientes con una RID, destacando el valor potencial de realizar estudios más grandes y confirmatorios

Introduction: Haemofiltration paradigms used to manage critically ill patients with a dysregulated inflammatory response (DIR) assess kidney function to monitor its onset, adaptation, and completion. A Continuous Venous Hyperfiltration (CONVEHY) protocol is presented, in which a non-specific adsorption membrane (AN69-ST-Heparin Grafted) is used with citrate as an anticoagulant and substitution fluid. CONVEHY uses tools readily available to achieve kidney related and non-related objectives, and it is guided by the monitoring of pathophysiological responses. Objectives: To compare the response to an AN69-ST-HG membrane when heparin (He, n=5: Standard protocol) or citrate (Ci, n=6: CONVEHY protocol) was used to evaluate whether a larger study into the benefits of this protocol would be feasible. Materials and methods: In a retrospective pilot study, the benefits of the CONVEHY protocol to manage patients with a DIR in a surgical critical care unit (CCUs) were assessed by evaluating the SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) (He 11 +/- 2.35; Ci 11 +/- 3.63: p=0.54) and APACHE II (He 28.60 +/- 9.40; Ci 24 +/- 8.46: p=0.93) scores. Results: Nights in hospital (He 35.2 +/- 16.3 nights; Ci 9 +/- 2.53: p=0.004), hospital admission after discharge from the CCUs (He 40.25 +/- 21.82; Ci 13.2 +/- 4.09: p=0.063), patients hospitalised >20 days (He 80%; Ci 0%: p=0.048), days requiring mechanical ventilation (He 16 +/- 5.66; Ci 4 +/- 1.72: p=0.004), and the predicted (55.39 +/- 26.13%) versus real mortality in both groups (9.1%: p=0.004). Conclusions: The CONVEHY protocol improves the clinical responses of patients with DIR, highlighting the potential value of performing larger and confirmatory studies

Fluidoterapia intraoperatoria en lactante con insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva por fístula arteriovenosa pial intracraneal / Intraoperative fluid therapy in infants with congestive heart failure due to intracranial pial arteriovenous fistula

La fístula arteriovenosa pial es una malformación congénita intracraneal infrecuente (0,1-1:100.000 habitantes). Presenta un alto flujo sanguíneo entre una o más arterias piales y un drenaje en la circulación venosa. Suele diagnosticarse durante la edad pediátrica al desencadenar un cuadro de hipertensión intracraneal y/o una insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva por shunt sistémico izquierda-derecha. Al ser poco frecuente y tener una fisiopatología compleja, su manejo perioperatorio anestésico no está bien establecido. Presentamos el caso de un lactante de 6 meses con fístula arteriovenosa pial con hipertensión intracraneal e insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva por shunt izquierda-derecha, que se sometió a craneotomía y pinzamiento de la malformación vascular. Las consideraciones anestésicas en pacientes con esta afección suponen un importante reto y deben realizarse por equipos multidisciplinares con experiencia en pediatría. Especial interés ocupa el manejo de la volemia durante el curso intraoperatorio, por exceso, para no precipitar una insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva o una hipertensión intracraneal, y por defecto, una hipoxia tisular por el sangrado (AU)

Pial arteriovenous fistula is a rare intracranial congenital malformation (0.1-1: 100,000). It has a high blood flow between one or more pial arteries and drains into the venous circulation. It is usually diagnosed during the childhood by triggering an intracranial hypertension and/or congestive heart failure due to left-right systemic shunt. It is a rare malformation with a complex pathophysiology. The perioperative anaesthetic management is not well established. We present a 6-month-old infant diagnosed with pial arteriovenous fistula with hypertension and congestive heart failure due to left-right shunt. He required a craniotomy and clipping of vascular malformation. Anaesthetic considerations in patients with this condition are a great challenge. It must be performed by multidisciplinary teams with experience in paediatrics. The maintenance of blood volume during the intraoperative course is very important. Excessive fluid therapy can precipitate a congestive heart failure or intracranial hypertension, and a lower fluid therapy may cause a tissue hypoxia due to the bleeding (AU)
