Elective endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: a management case series of patient outcomes after institutional change to admit patients principally to postanesthesia care unit rather than to intensive care.

BACKGROUND: Our intention in this case series was to review the postoperative care and neurologic outcomes of patients who had undergone elective endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The case series is unique managerially in that a progressively increasing percentage of patients were admitted to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU; 1:2 nurse-to-patient ratio) and subsequently to the neurosurgical ward (1:3 nurse-to-patient ratio) instead of directly to the intensive care unit (ICU; 1:1 nurse-to-patient ratio). METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of 170 consecutive elective endovascular procedures to treat unruptured intracranial aneurysms between July 2009 and September 2012. Data included patient, aneurysm, procedural characteristics, and adverse events within 96 hours after the procedure. Rates of ICU admission and perioperative neurologic adverse events were compared over time. RESULTS: Although direct ICU admission rates decreased over time (P < 0.0001) from 100% to 15%, perioperative neurologic event rates did not change (P = 0.79). Sixteen of 170 patients experienced perioperative neurologic events. The percentages of patients with neurologic events who died or had deficits that did not resolve before discharge were 38% (3 of 8) among patients directly admitted to the ICU versus 38% (3 of 8) among those first admitted to the PACU. Although the duration of anesthesia was greater among patients admitted to the ICU, duration was not useful in predicting decisions on the day of surgery for individual patients. The duration of anesthesia also was not meaningfully associated with information available preoperatively (i.e., for use when scheduling the case). CONCLUSIONS: In centers in which PACU and ward care are comparable to those in this case series, in the absence of intraoperative events with the potential for ongoing cerebral ischemia, most patients undergoing elective endovascular treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms can be managed without direct ICU admission. Scheduling all these procedures by using the mean historical anesthesia duration is reasonable.

Endovascular Aortic Repair of Primary Adult Coarctation: Implications and Challenges for Postoperative Nursing.

Endovascular aortic repair is a relatively new surgical technique used to treat a variety of aortic pathologies. Aortic coarctation traditionally has been managed with open surgical repair, involving a large posterolateral thoracotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, and replacement of the narrowed section of the aorta with a dacron graft. Recent advances in minimally invasive aortic surgery have allowed for repair of the diseased section with an endovascular stent placed percutaneously through the groin under intraoperative fluoroscopic guidance. In this paper, the authors willfocus on the implicationsfor postoperative nursing care after endovascular repair of aortic coarctation using a case study of a 17-year-old male. This novel technique required education of the health care team with respect to implications for practice, understanding potential complications, discharge planning and follow-up. With any new surgical technique there are many questions and challenges that health care professionals raise. The main concerns expressed from the health care team stemmed from a lack of understanding of the disease pathology, and the different risk profile associated with an endovascular repair in contrast to an open repair. The authors will address these concerns in detail.

Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic pathologies: postoperative nursing implications.

Endovascular stent grafting is increasingly used to manage descending thoracic aortic pathologies. The procedure was introduced at the study hospital in 2001. We sought to examine the short-term clinical outcomes of patients who underwent this endovascular stent grafting, with the aim of using the result as baseline for development of an in-center clinical management protocol. We undertook a single-center, retrospective review of health care records of patients managed with thoracic stent grafts from 2001 to 2009. Patient characteristics, in-hospital data, and procedural data were obtained. SPSS was used to analyze the data. A total of 30 patients were treated with thoracic stent; 23 were male, 7 were female, and the mean age was 55.0. Aortic pathologies treated were traumatic aortic dissection/transection (n = 15), acute/chronic aortic dissection (n = 9), and degenerative aneurysms (n = 6). Endoleak occurred in 3 patients, with 1 requiring further endograft repair. Two patients underwent combined open and endovascular repair of acute thoracic aortic dissection; 1 died 4 days after the procedure, and the other developed stroke and acute renal failure not requiring dialysis. Of the 28 patients who underwent endovascular repair, paraplegia and paraparesis occurred in 2 patients but resolved with cerebrospinal fluid drainage. Stroke occurred in 1 patient. Patients who underwent combined procedure of open and endovascular repair of thoracic aortic dissection had a greater risk of developing major adverse events than patients who underwent endovascular repair alone (Fisher's exact test P = .023). There was no association between the risk of stroke and the coverage of left subclavian artery in this series (P = .483). Graft stenting treatment for descending thoracic aortic pathologies has been shown to result in high in-hospital survival rates. It is essential for nurses who work in acute care settings to have knowledge of this procedure and potential complications associated with the procedure to enable postoperative assessment and immediate action if any deviation is observed.

Radiation dose of nurses during IR procedures: a controlled trial evaluating operator alerts before nursing tasks.

PURPOSE: To compare radiation exposure of nurses when performing nursing tasks associated with interventional procedures depending on whether or not the nurses called out to the operator before approaching the patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a prospective study, 93 interventional radiology procedures were randomly divided into a call group and a no-call group; there were 50 procedures in the call group and 43 procedures in the no-call group. Two monitoring badges were used to calculate effective dose of nurses. In the call group, the nurse first told the operator she was going to approach the patient each time she was about to do so. In the no-call group, the nurse did not say anything to the operator when she was about to approach the patient. RESULTS: In all the nursing tasks, the equivalent dose at the umbilical level inside the lead apron was below the detectable limit. The equivalent dose at the sternal level outside the lead apron was 0.16 µSv ± 0.41 per procedure in the call group and 0.51 µSv ± 1.17 per procedure in the no-call group. The effective dose was 0.018 µSv ± 0.04 per procedure in the call group and 0.056 µSv ± 0.129 per procedure in the no-call group. The call group had a significantly lower radiation dose (P = .034). CONCLUSIONS: Radiation doses of nurses were lower in the group in which the nurse called to the operator before she approached the patient.

[Nursing care of endovascular aneurysm repair patients].

The treatment of aortic disease previously used conventional open surgery to replace the aorta with artificial vascular prosthesis after resecting the lesioned segment. The recently developed technique of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) uses a stent graft to reinforce the diseased aortic wall while allowing blood flow continuity and preventing further aortic expansion, dissection and aortic rupture. Taiwan's National Health Insurance now covers payment for authorized EVAR procedures, making treatments safer for patients who are elderly, have congestive heart failure, have multiple comorbidities, or have other high-risk factors. EVAR is gradually replacing previous methods to become the primary treatment approach for aortic disease. This article discusses the development of EVAR, indications, operative procedures, complications, postoperative risk factors, and clinical nursing problems. We hope that this article provides new information on nursing care for patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair surgery.

Radiation exposure to operating room personnel and patients during endovascular procedures.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize radiation exposure to patients and operating room personnel during fluoroscopic procedures. METHODS: Patient dose information was collected from the imaging equipment. Real-time dosimetry was used to measure doses to the operators, scrub nurse, radiologic technologist (RT), and anesthesiologist in 39 cases of endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair using fenestrated endografts. Overall equivalent doses and dose rates at time points of interest were noted and compared with the corresponding patient doses. RESULTS: The dosimeter on the anesthesia equipment received 143 µSv (38-247) more radiation per case than the average operator, and the scrub nurse and RT received 106 µSv (66-146) and 100 µSv (55-145) less, respectively. Adjusting for protective lead aprons by the Webster methodology, the average operator received an effective dose of 38 µSv. Except for the RT, personnel doses were well correlated with patient dose as measured by kerma area product (KAP) (r = .82 for average operator, r = .85 for scrub nurse, and r = .86 for anesthesia; all P < .001) but less well correlated with fluoroscopy time or cumulative air kerma (CAK). When preoperative cone beam computed tomography was performed, the equivalent dose to the RT was 1.1 µSv (0.6-1.5) when using shielding and 37 µSv (22-53) when unshielded. Digital subtraction acquisitions accounted for a large fraction of all individuals' doses. Decreasing field size (and thus, increasing magnification) was associated with decreased KAP (r = .47; P < .001) and increased CAK (r = -.56; P < .001). The square of the field size correlated strongly with the KAP/CAK ratio (r = .99; P < .001). Increased lateral angulation of the C-arm increased both CAK and KAP (at field size, 22 cm; r = .54 and r = .44; both P < .001) and the average dose rate to an operator was 1.78 (1.37-2.31) times as high in a lateral projection as in a posterior-anterior projection. CONCLUSIONS: Personnel doses were best correlated with KAP and less well correlated with fluoroscopy time or CAK. The dosimeter on the anesthesia equipment recorded the highest doses attributable to ineffective shielding. Operators can reduce the effective dose to themselves, the patient, and other personnel by minimizing the use of digital subtraction acquisitions, avoiding lateral angulation, using higher magnification levels when possible, and being diligent about the use of shielding during fluoroscopy cases.

Wire vascular closure device: evaluation of an evidence-based protocol for post-endovascular procedure patients.

Vascular closure devices (VCDs) can shorten the time to hemostasis, ambulation and discharge and improve patient comfort.(1) An evidence-based practice (EBP) project was initiated to assess impact of a shortened postoperative compression and bed rest protocol on patients undergoing arteriotomy using a wire vascular closure device (WVCD). Following protocol development, a post-implementation evaluation was initiated to assess selected outcomes including compression and bed rest time, complication rate and possible related variables. Following implementation of the new protocol, clinicians were able to shorten both compression and bed rest times by 50%, and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) length of stay decreased to a maximum of 5 hours.

Endovascular management of massive pulmonary embolism with clot fragmentation and suction / Tratamento endovascular de embolia pulmonar maciça com fragmentação e aspiração de trombos

Massive pulmonary embolism with right ventricular dysfunction may be treated with thrombolysis, embolectomy, or percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy. This study describes our experience with two patients that had massive pulmonary embolism and were treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy and reports on the mid-term results of this procedure. A 28-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman were diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis and massive pulmonary embolism. They first had lower limb edema followed by sudden onset of dyspnea. Their physical examination revealed edema, tachypnea, chest discomfort and jugular turgescence. Both needed to receive oxygen using a nasal cannula. Doppler ultrasound, echocardiography, and computed tomography angiography were used to establish the diagnoses. Patients underwent percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using the Aspirex® system (Straub Medical), and their clinical condition and imaging study findings improved substantially. At mid-term follow-up, patient conditions were improving satisfactorily.

OBJETIVOS: Determinar a importância das variáveis: Intensidade de Energia (I), Potência (P) e Tempo de Aplicação (T) nas alterações histológicas ocorridas em varizes de membros inferiores submetidas à eletrocauterização endovascular. MÉTODO: Estudo prospectivo experimental realizado em pacientes submetidos à eletrocauterização endovenosa de fragmento proximal da veia safena magna, de acordo com uma tabela de aleatorização - GI: I=0J, P=0W, T=15s; GII: I=300J, P=60W, T=5s; GIII: I=600J, P=60W, T=10s; GIV: I=900J, P=60W, T=15s; GV: I=450J, P=90W, T=5s; GVI: I=900J, P=90W, T=10s; GVII: I=1350J, P=90W, T=15s; GVIII: I=600J, P=120W, T=5s; GIX: I=1200J, P=120W, T=10s; GX: I=1800J, P=120W, T=15s. Os fragmentos foram submetidos a estudo anatomopatológico com o objetivo de analisar a profundidade das alterações tissulares, assim classificadas: Grupo A - endotélio e média, Grupo B - endotélio, média e adventícia. RESULTADOS: A intensidade das alterações histológicas - Grupo A e B - ocorridas nos fragmentos foram proporcionais à Intensidade de Energia de eletrocauterização (p=0,0001). Essa associação linear também pode ser verificada para as variáveis Potência (p=0,017) e Tempo de Aplicação (p=0,0001). O índice de correlação de Spearman foi maior para variável Tempo de Aplicação: 0,42269 (p=0,002) quando comparada com a variável Potência de Energia: 0,3542 (p=0,005). CONCLUSÃO: O Tempo de Aplicação de Energia é mais importante do que a Potência de Energia utilizada para uma mesma energia de eletrocauterização, na determinação da profundidade dos efeitos histológicos observados na parede das varizes de membros inferiores.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the importance of the variables: Energy Intensity (I), Power (P) and Time of Application (T) in the histological changes occurring in lower limb varicose vein submitted to endovascular electrocauterization. METHOD: Prospective experimental study conducted in patients undergoing great saphenous vein electrocauterization according to a randomization table - GI: I=0J, P=0W, T=15s; GII: I=300J, P=60W, T=5s; GIII: I=600, P=60W, T=10s; GIV: I=900J, P=60W, T=15s; GV: I=450J, P=90W, T=5s; GVI: I=900J, P=90W, T=10s; GVII: I=1350W, P=90W, T=15s; GVIII: I=600, P=120W, T=5s; GIX: I=1200J, P=120W, T=10s; GX: I=1800J, P=120W, T=15s. The fragments were submitted to histopathological examination in order to analyze the depth of tissue changes, classified as follows: Group A - endothelium and media; Group B - endothelium, media and adventitia. RESULTS: The intensity of histological changes - Groups A and B - that occur in the fragments were proportional to Energy Intensity of electrocauterization (p=0.0001), Power (p=0.017) and Time of Application (p=0.0001). The Spearman correlation coefficient was more powerful for the variable Time of Application: 0.42269 (p=0.002) when compared with the variable Power of Energy (P): 0.3542 (p=0.005). CONCLUSION: Time of Application of Energy is a stronger predictor than the Power of Energy in determining the depth of the histological effects observed in the wall of the varicose vein submitted to electrocauterization.

Current modalities for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: Implications for nurses.

BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) represent a significant health problem in the United States as more than 1 million people are afflicted and the prevalence is only expected to increase. Given that AAA rupture carries a high mortality rate, there is interest in repairing the aneurysm electively before aneurysm rupture. Two approaches to aneurysm repair are open repair and endovascular repair. However, limited data comparing the outcomes of these different methods exist. OBJECTIVE: A systematic review of recent clinical trials was conducted to identify and compare the short- and long-term clinical outcomes between open and endovascular repair. METHODS: Prospective, controlled trials published in the last 5 years were acquired using PubMed, Ovid, and Scopus databases. RESULTS: Four studies were identified during the search. Study trends suggest a perioperative advantage using endovascular repair. However, this advantage does not appear to be maintained in the long term. CONCLUSIONS: Each type of repair carries its own risk profile that is likely influenced by additional factors, such as the patient's age and comorbidities. It is critical that healthcare providers are aware of the risks associated with each approach in order to provide optimal patient care.

Endovascular interventions for descending thoracic aortic aneurysms: The pivotal role of the clinical nurse in postoperative care.

Descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (dTAA) comprise 40% of all aneurysms arising from the thoracic aorta. Because rupture of thoracic aneurysms is associated with a 94% mortality rate, timely detection, surveillance and treatment is imperative. Endovascular stent-graft repair of thoracic aneurysms was first performed in 1992 and has become an accepted treatment option for this condition in select candidates. There is an abundance of information for the care of patients after open surgical repair of dTAA. However, still relatively few written guidelines exist in the nursing literature for postoperative care and complications associated with endovascular stent-graft repair. The prevalence of aortic endografting, however, now makes it necessary for nurses to have a solid knowledge base in the operative procedure, complications and postoperative care for this patient population. Ideal candidates for aortic endografting undergo CTA or MRI preoperatively and fit a set of strict anatomic criteria to ensure proper delivery and fixation of the device. The early postoperative care focuses on minimizing pulmonary complications, paraplegia, renal failure and embolic complications such as stroke and limb ischemia through skilled nursing assessment and interventions. Late complications such as stent-graft migration, kinking, stent fracture and endoleak are often without symptoms, making it necessary for patients to be educated about these potential complications and to be encouraged to comply with lifelong follow up. This overview provides a sound cognitive framework for nurses practicing in a vascular surgery milieu.
