RESUMO

Patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (sICAS) suffer embarrassed hemodynamic status and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) recurrence. We aimed to assess the efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) on improving this status by evaluating cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral glucose metabolism (CGM) via PET/CT. Adult patients with unilateral sICAS in middle cerebral artery and/or intracranial segment of internal carotid artery-related AIS or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to randomization were enrolled. Individuals who received intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular treatment, or sICAS caused by cardiac embolism, small vessel occlusion, or other determined causes were excluded. Twenty-three eligible patients were randomly assigned to standard medical treatment (SMT) (n = 10) or RIC group (n = 13). The RIC protocol consisted of 5 cycles, each for 5-min bilateral upper limb ischemia and 5-min reperfusion period, twice a day, with a total duration of 3 months. Ten healthy volunteers were enrolled as healthy control group. We tested CBF and CGM at the rest stage and the methazolamide-induced stress stage. All patients received PET/CT at baseline and three-month followup. Both CBF and CGM in ipsilateral hemisphere of sICAS patients were significantly decreased at the rest stage and the stress stage (p < .05), which were improved by three-month RIC (p < .05). The lesions decreased notably in RIC group compared to SMT group (p < .05). RIC ameliorated the hemodynamic status and glucose metabolism in regions at high risk of infarction, which might improve the resistance capacity towards ischemic load in sICAS patients.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Angiography is associated with anxiety, stress, and changes in patients' vital signs. The role of the liaison nurse is to bridge gaps and solve problems between departments, thereby preventing the occurrence of undesired complications during patient transfers. Proper preparation of patients by the liaison nurse may lead to an improvement in the hemodynamic status of patients. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of liaison nurse on hemodynamic status during transfer process to angiography. METHOD: This randomized controlled trial was conducted from December 2019 to March 2020 on 62 patients who were candidates for elective angiography at Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad. Participants were selected using a convenience sampling method and then randomly assigned to either the control or intervention group using a lottery system. In the intervention group, patients benefited from the presence of a liaison nurse from the moment the transfer order was issued by the doctor. Tools used included a demographic information questionnaire and a hemodynamic signs checklist. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 with independent T-tests, paired T-tests, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney test, chi-squared, and Fisher's exact test. RESULT: Following the intervention, the mean systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate in the intervention group were found to be significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). In contrast, the mean body temperature, diastolic blood pressure and the percentage of arterial blood oxygen saturation did not exhibit a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The liaison nurse role emerges as a valuable strategy for enhancing patients' hemodynamic stability, and its implementation can have a positive impact on patient outcomes in hospital settings.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Infective endocarditis (IE) has a high 30-day mortality. Surgery is needed in many patients. The preoperative hemodynamic status (congestive heart failure, need for urgent/emergent surgery or mechanical support, NYHA class III/IV) could have an impact on postoperative outcome. Each of these parameters is an indication for the inadequacy of the left ventricle to maintain an adequate circulation Methods. A literature search was performed using "endocarditis AND hospital mortality OR outcome AND predictor" and "International Collaboration on Endocarditis - Prospective Cohort Study" in Web of Science database, from 2010-2017. The focus was hospital mortality and its predictors. Manuscripts were excluded if no logistic regression or propensity analysis was available. The predictors were ranked according the odds ratios. Articles with risk scores based on multivariate analysis were also added. RESULTS: Most studies are coming from one tertiary center and are retrospective, with different designs. Recruitment periods are long and sample sizes small. Definitions of preoperative events such as hemodynamic status are not uniform. Thirty-day mortality varies between 10 and 50%. In 8 of 18 papers where the hemodynamic status is included, it is ranked as first and in 3 as second. The scoring systems confirm in several occasions the importance of left ventricular factors. DISCUSSION: The heterogeneity of the included papers and lack of uniform definitions of preoperative events precludes a proper meta-analysis. Nevertheless, heart failure and a compromised hemodynamic status can be identified as the dominant predictor for 30-day mortality of IE. This seems avoidable by early surgery.

RESUMO

AIMS: The study aimed to assess the clinical benefits of high-volume hemofiltration (HVHF) in pediatric patients with severe sepsis compared with standard-volume continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 155 pediatric patients with severe sepsis admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit of Shanghai Children's Hospital from January 2010 to June 2016. A total of 93 patients were treated with HVHF and 62 patients were treated with CVVH. RESULTS: HVHF treatment did not significantly reduce 28-day mortality. Moreover, there was no significant difference in reducing the plasma level of inflammatory mediators and improving hemodynamic variables between HVHF and CVVH group. However, the incidence of hyperglycemia was significantly higher in HVHF group than in CVVH group. CONCLUSIONS: There is no evidence to indicate that HVHF is superior to CVVH in reducing 28-day mortality as an adjunct to the treatment of severe sepsis in pediatric patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A prior Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology TVT (Transcatheter Valve Therapy) Registry-based analysis reported similar 1-year clinical outcomes with small (20-mm) vs large (≥23-mm) balloon-expandable valves (BEV). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to describe mid-term 3-year clinical outcomes for small vs large BEV and the relationship between discharge echocardiographic mean gradient (MG) and different definitions of prothesis-patient mismatch (PPM) with clinical outcomes. METHODS: Using the TVT Registry with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services linkage, a propensity-matched analysis of patients receiving 20- vs ≥23-mm BEVs was performed. Spline curves and Kaplan-Meier plots with adjusted HRs determined the relationship between MG and 3-year mortality. RESULTS: In total, 316,091 patients were analyzed; after propensity matching, 8,100 pairs of each group were compared. The 20-mm BEV was associated with higher MGs compared with ≥23-mm BEVs (16.2 ± 7.2 mm Hg vs 11.8 ± 5.7 mm Hg; P < 0.0001). At 3 years, there was no difference in mortality between 20- and ≥23-mm BEVs (31.5% vs 32.5%, respectively; HR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.90-1.05). Compared with an MG of 10 to 30 mm Hg, an MG <10 mm Hg (HR: 1.25; 95% CI:1.22-1.27) was associated with increased 3-year mortality. Measured severe PPM and predicted no PPM were associated with increased 3-year mortality (33.5% vs 32.9% vs 32.1%; P < 0.0001) and (33.5% vs 31.1% vs 30%; P < 0.0001), respectively. Low MG and severe measured PPM were associated with lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with small-prosthesis BEVs (20 mm) had identical 3-year survival as those with larger (≥23-mm) BEV valves. Severe measured PPM and low MG (<10 mm Hg), but not predicted severe PPM, were associated with lower LVEF and increased mortality, suggesting that LVEF is the culprit for worse outcomes.

RESUMO

Whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with Impella, known as EC-Pella, limits cardiac damage in acute myocardial infarction remains unknown. The authors now report that the combination of transvalvular unloading and ECMO (EC-Pella) initiated before reperfusion reduced infarct size compared with ECMO alone before reperfusion in a preclinical model of acute myocardial infarction. EC-Pella also reduced left ventricular pressure-volume area when transvalvular unloading was applied before, not after, activation of ECMO. The authors further observed that EC-Pella increased cardioprotective signaling but failed to rescue mitochondrial dysfunction compared with ECMO alone. These findings suggest that ECMO can increase infarct size in acute myocardial infarction and that EC-Pella can mitigate this effect but also suggest that left ventricular unloading and myocardial salvage may be uncoupled in the presence of ECMO in acute myocardial infarction. These observations implicate mechanisms beyond hemodynamic load as part of the injury cascade associated with ECMO in acute myocardial infarction.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Hemodynamic instability in previously stable trauma patients carries rather not a wide differential diagnosis. Delayed Splenic Rupture is certainly not on the top of the list. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a patient with delayed splenic rupture eight days after a blunt abdominal trauma caused by a motor vehicle accident. The patient's initial full-body trauma protocol CT scan was negative for internal injuries and rib fractures. He was discharged after 48 h of uneventful observation. Returning eight days with grade III subcapsular splenic hematoma; with negative history of strenuous activities or a second trauma. A trial of non-operative management was opted for after stabilizing the patient. However, the patient's hemodynamic status deteriorated and he was operated on a couple of hours after presentation. DISCUSSION: Delayed splenic rupture remains a rare diagnosis with an open time window for presentation. While it is a rare entity, delayed splenic rupture increases the mortality rate in an otherwise non-mortal injury. CONCLUSION: This case presents an important educational value in bringing forth such rare diagnoses in trauma patients and highlights the management transition from a non-operative approach to an operative one.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been suggested to improve outcomes in patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR), patients remain at substantial residual risk after the intervention. Total blood volume is divided between the unstressed volume, filling the vascular space, and stressed blood volume (SBV), generating intravascular pressure. SBV is an important mediator of hemodynamic derangements in heart failure and might pose an attractive adjunctive treatment target. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of SBV in patients with severe TR and its implications for tricuspid TEER. METHODS: In total, 279 patients underwent right heart catheterization prior to TEER. SBV was estimated from hemodynamic variables fit to a comprehensive cardiovascular model. RESULTS: Estimated stressed blood volume (eSBV) was associated with obesity, renal and hepatic dysfunction and cardiac remodeling (P < 0.05 for all). Hemodynamically, eSBV correlated with pulmonary artery and cardiac filling pressures as well as right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling (P < 0.05 for all). After TEER, patients with eSBV greater than the median demonstrated less reduction in right atrial pressures, peripheral edema, and ascites compared with lower eSBV patients (P < 0.05 for all). Higher eSBV was an independent predictor of the occurrence of death and heart failure hospitalization during a median follow-up duration of 618 days (P < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with severe TR, eSBV is associated with obesity, renal and liver dysfunction, more severe heart failure, attenuated reduction of venous congestion after TEER, and adverse clinical outcomes. Estimation of SBV should be incorporated in future trials in the field to identify patients in need of adjunctive therapies.

RESUMO

Currently in the United States, more than 1 million adults have congenital heart disease. Therefore, it will be inevitable for providers performing cardiac catheterization to be faced with adults with repaired congenital heart abnormalities. Moreover, a meticulous approach to every cardiac catheterization procedure is mandatory to avoid missing unrecognized congenital lesions presenting in adulthood. The authors provide a primer for cardiac catheterization procedures in adults with congenital heart disease, reviewing key procedural components: flow calculation, detection of shunts according to different lesions, and, when indicated, ventricular angiography and coronary angiography.

RESUMO

Background: The role of sodium bicarbonate therapy (SBT) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate whether hemodynamic status before SBT contributed to the heterogeneous outcomes associated with SBT in acute critically ill patients. Methods: We obtained data from patients with metabolic acidosis from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-III database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to match the SBT group with the control group. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze a composite of newly "developed or exacerbated organ dysfunction" (d/eOD) within 7 days of ICU admission and 28-day mortality associated with SBT for metabolic acidosis. Results: A total of 1,765 patients with metabolic acidosis were enrolled, and 332 pairs obtained by PSM were applied to the final analyses in the study. An increased incidence of newly d/eOD was observed in the SB group compared with the control group (54.8 vs. 44.6%, p < 0.01). Multivariable logistic regression indicated that the adjusted OR of SBT for this composite outcome was no longer significant [OR (95% CI): 1.39 (0.9, 1.85); p = 0.164]. This effect of SBT did not change with the quintiles stratified by pH. Interestingly, SBT was associated with an increased risk of the composite of newly d/eOD in the subgroup of patients with worsening hemodynamics before SBT [adjusted OR (95% CI): 3.6 (1.84, 7.22), p < 0.001]. Moreover, the risk potential for this composite of outcomes was significantly increased in patients characterized by both worsening [adjusted OR (95% CI): 2.91 (1.54, 5.47), p < 0.001] and unchanged hemodynamics [adjusted OR (95% CI): 1.94 (1.01, 3.72), p = 0.046] compared to patients with improved hemodynamics before SBT. Our study failed to demonstrate an association between SBT and 28-day mortality in acute critically ill patients with metabolic acidosis. Conclusions: Our findings did not demonstrate an association between SBT and outcomes in critically ill patients with metabolic acidosis. However, patients with either worsening or unchanged hemodynamic status in initial resuscitation had a significantly higher risk potential of newly d/eOD subsequent to SBT.

RESUMO

Aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) frequently coexist, with up to two thirds of patients with AS having significant CAD. Given the challenges when both disease states are present, these patients require a tailored approach diagnostically and therapeutically. In this review the authors address the impact of AS and aortic valve replacement (AVR) on coronary hemodynamic status and discuss the assessment of CAD and the role of revascularization in patients with concomitant AS and CAD. Remodeling in AS increases the susceptibility of myocardial ischemia, which can be compounded by concomitant CAD. AVR can improve coronary hemodynamic status and reduce ischemia. Assessment of the significance of coexisting CAD can be done using noninvasive and invasive metrics. Revascularization in patients undergoing AVR can benefit certain patients in whom CAD is either prognostically or symptomatically important. Identifying this cohort of patients is challenging and as yet incomplete. Patients with dual pathology present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge; both AS and CAD affect coronary hemodynamic status, they provoke similar symptoms, and their respective treatments can have an impact on both diseases. Decisions regarding coronary revascularization should be based on understanding this complex relationship, using appropriate coronary assessment and consensus within a multidisciplinary team.

RESUMO

Transcatheter mitral valve implantation is an emerging technology for the treatment of inoperable or high-risk patients with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation. Known technical issues are obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract, paravalvular leakage, and hemolysis. We report a case of valve retensioning successfully resolving paravalvular leakage and hemolysis. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

RESUMO

Measures of peripheral perfusion can be used to assess the hemodynamic status of critically ill patients. By monitoring peripheral perfusion status, clinicians can promptly initiate life-saving therapy and reduce the likelihood of shock-associated death. Historically, abnormal perfusion has been indicated by the observation of pale, cold, and clammy skin with increased capillary refill time. The utility of these assessments has been debated given that clinicians may vary in their clinical interpretation of body temperature and refill time. Considering these constraints, current sepsis bundles suggest the need to revise resuscitation guidelines. New technologies have been developed to calculate capillary refill time in the hopes of identifying a new gold standard for clinical care. These devices measure either light reflected at the surface of the fingertip (reflected light), or light transmitted through the inside of the fingertip (transmitted light). These new technologies may enable clinicians to monitor peripheral perfusion status more accurately and may increase the potential for ubiquitous hemodynamic monitoring across different clinical settings. This review will summarize the different methods available for peripheral perfusion monitoring and will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dopamine is an inotropic agent that is often selected for continuous infusion. For hemodynamic stability, the rate of infusion is controlled in the range of 5-15 µg/kg/min. This study aimed to compare the time intervals from the administration of dopamine to the onset of its hemodynamic effects when dopamine was administered through three different peripheral veins (the cephalic vein [CV], the great saphenous vein [GSV], and the external jugular vein [EJV]). METHODS: Patients in group 1, group 2, and group 3 received dopamine infusions in the CV, GSV, and EJV, respectively. A noninvasive continuous cardiac output monitor (NICCOMO™, Medis, Ilmenau, Germany) was used to assess cardiac output (CO) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR). Six minutes after intubation, baseline heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic BP, mean arterial pressure (MAP), CO, and SVR values were recorded and dopamine infusion was initiated at a dose of 10 µg/kg/min. Hemodynamic changes at 0, 4, 8, 12, and 15 minutes postinfusion were recorded. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were observed among the three groups with respect to the rate of hemodynamic change. In all groups, systolic BP, diastolic BP, MAP, and SVR tended to increase after decreasing for the first 4 minutes; in contrast, HR and CO decreased until 8 minutes, after which they tended to reach a plateau. CONCLUSIONS: For patients under general anesthesia receiving dopamine at 10 µg/kg/min, there were no clinical differences in the effect of dopamine administered through three different peripheral veins.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Assessment of aortic regurgitation (AR) immediately after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is essential to guide further intervention in cases of relevant AR. It was the aim of this study to identify a simple and reproducible hemodynamic parameter for the assessment of AR. BACKGROUND: Relevant AR after TAVR is present in up to 21% of cases and might be associated with adverse long-term outcomes. METHODS: Three hundred sixty-two consecutive patients who were treated with TAVR for symptomatic aortic valve stenosis were analyzed. AR was assessed by aortic root angiography according to the Sellers classification. For hemodynamic evaluation, the diastolic pressure-time (DPT) index was calculated after TAVR: the area between the aortic and left ventricular pressure-time curves was measured during diastole and divided by the duration of diastole to calculate the DPT index. The DPT index was finally adjusted for the respective systolic blood pressure: DPT indexadj = (DPT index/systolic blood pressure) × 100. RESULTS: Patients with angiographically nonrelevant AR (grade <2) had higher DPT indexadj (30.7 ± 6.8) compared with those with relevant AR (grade ≥2) (26.2 ± 5.8) (p < 0.05). Patients with DPT indexadj ≤27.9 had significantly higher 1-year mortality risk in comparison with those with DPT indexadj >27.9: 41.4% versus 13.5% (hazard ratio: 3.8; 95% confidence interval: 2.4 to 5.9; p [log rank-test] < 0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, DPT indexadj ≤27.9 was the strongest independent predictor of 1-year mortality (hazard ratio: 2.5; 95% confidence interval: 1.8 to 3.7; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: DPT indexadj is a simple, investigator-independent parameter that should be considered to differentiate between relevant and nonrelevant AR after TAVR.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to increase the discriminatory value of the aortic regurgitation index (ARI) for the assessment of paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) and to further elucidate the association between aortic regurgitation severity and mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). BACKGROUND: Hemodynamic parameters such as the ARI complement predominantly angiographically guided TAVR. However, the ARI depends on several baseline and periprocedural characteristics. METHODS: The ARI was prospectively calculated before and after TAVR in 600 patients. The severity of PVR was assessed in all patients by angiography and echocardiography according to a 3-class scheme. To account for pre-procedural hemodynamic status, the ARI ratio was calculated as post- over pre-procedural ARI. RESULTS: Apart from the degree of PVR (ß = -0.396, p < 0.001), pre-procedural hemodynamic status in the form of the ARI before TAVR (ß = 0.227, p < 0.001) was associated with post-procedural ARI in multivariate regression analysis. The ARI ratio increased the specificity of post-procedural ARI alone for the prediction of both more than mild PVR and 1-year mortality from 75.1% to 93.2% and from 75.0% to 93.3%, respectively. Patients with post-procedural ARI values <25 after TAVR had significantly increased 1-year mortality only when the ARI ratio was <0.60 (50.0% vs. 26.3%, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The ARI ratio integrating pre- and post-procedural hemodynamic status increases the discriminatory value of post-procedural ARI. The ARI ratio, which reflects acute hemodynamic changes after TAVR, is useful to identify patients with negative outcomes.

RESUMO

Apnoeic oxygenation is an alternative technique of oxygenation which is recommended in the consecutive oxygen administration with varying flows (2-10 lt/min) through a catheter which is positioned over the keel of the trachea. Apnoeic oxygenation maintains for a significant period of time the oxygenation of blood in breathless conditions. This technique was first applied in 1947 by Draper, Whitehead, and Spencer and it was studied sporadically by other inventors too. However, the international literature shows few studies that have examined closely apnoeic oxygenation and its effects on Hemodynamic image and the respiratory system of the human body. Recently they have begun to arise some studies which deal with the application of this technique in several conditions such as difficult tracheal intubation, ventilation of guinea pigs in campaign conditions where the oxygen supply is limited and calculable, the application of this technique in combination with the use of extracorporeal removal of carbon dioxide (CO2). All the above indicate, the clinical use of this technique.

RESUMO

Variceal bleeding is one of the dreaded complications of portal hypertension. Although its prognosis has improved over the last several decades, it still carries substantial mortality. Although most portal hypertensive bleeds result from the ruptured distal esophageal varices, bleeding from other sources such gastric varices, portal hypertensive gastropathy, and ectopic varices can lead to clinically significant bleeding. Variceal bleeding typically presents as massive gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding with hematemesis, melena or hematochezia. In general, the terapeutic aims of management are to initially correct hypovolemia, to control bleeding, to prevent complications of bleeding, such as infection and renal failure and to prevent early rebleeding. The treatment of bleeding esophageal varices differs substantially foom the treatment of other lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, patients with esophageal varices typically have severe liver disease and thus are likely from poor nutrition, blood clotting disorders, and encephalopathy, all of which can adversaly affect morbidity and mortality.
