- Strategies to reduce blood transfusion: a Latin-American perspective(2015) HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao; FUKUSHIMA, Julia Tizue; ALMEIDA, Juliano Pinheiro de; OSAWA, Eduardo Atsushi; GALAS, Filomena Regina Barbosa GomesPurpose of review Anemia has been demonstrated to be detrimental in several populations such as high-surgical-risk patients, critically ill elderly, and cardiac patients. Red blood cell transfusion is the most commonly prescribed therapy for anemia. Despite being life-saving, it carries a risk that ranges from mild complications to death. The aim of this review is to discuss the risks of anemia and blood transfusion, and to describe recent developments in the strategies to reduce allogeneic blood transfusion. Recent findings In the past decades, clinical studies comparing transfusion strategies in different populations were conducted. Despite the challenges imposed by the development of such studies, evidence-based medicine on transfusion medicine in critically ill patients is being created. Different results arising from these studies reflect population heterogeneity, specific circumstances, and difficulties in measuring the impact of anemia and transfusion in a clinical trial. Summary An adequate judgment of a clinical condition associated with proper application of the available literature is the cornerstone in the management of transfusion in critical care. Apart from this individualized strategy, the institution of a patient blood management program allows goal-directed approach through preoperative recognition of anemia, surgical efforts to minimize blood loss, and continuous assessment of the coagulation status.
- Effect of Perioperative Goal-Directed Hemodynamic Resuscitation Therapy on Outcomes Following Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial and Systematic Review(2016) OSAWA, Eduardo A.; RHODES, Andrew; LANDONI, Giovanni; GALAS, Filomena R. B. G.; FUKUSHIMA, Julia T.; PARK, Clarice H. L.; ALMEIDA, Juliano P.; NAKAMURA, Rosana E.; STRABELLI, Tania M.

O.; HUEB, Alexandre C.; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo M.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; JATENE, Fabio B.; AULER JUNIOR, Jose Otavio Costa; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.Objectives: To evaluate the effects of goal-directed therapy on outcomes in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Design: A prospective randomized controlled trial and an updated metaanalysis of randomized trials published from inception up to May 1, 2015. Setting: Surgical ICU within a tertiary referral university-affiliated teaching hospital. Patients: One hundred twenty-six high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery or valve repair. Interventions: Patients were randomized to a cardiac output-guided hemodynamic therapy algorithm (goal-directed therapy group, n = 62) or to usual care (n = 64). In the goal-directed therapy arm, a cardiac index of greater than 3 L/min/m(2) was targeted with IV fluids, inotropes, and RBC transfusion starting from cardiopulmonary bypass and ending 8 hours after arrival to the ICU. Measurements and Main Results: The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of 30-day mortality and major postoperative complications. Patients from the goal-directed therapy group received a greater median (interquartile range) volume of IV fluids than the usual care group (1,000 [625-1,500] vs 500 [500-1,000] mL; p < 0.001], with no differences in the administration of either inotropes or RBC transfusions. The primary outcome was reduced in the goal-directed therapy group (27.4% vs 45.3%; p = 0.037). The goal-directed therapy group had a lower occurrence rate of infection (12.9% vs 29.7%; p = 0.002) and low cardiac output syndrome (6.5% vs 26.6%; p = 0.002). We also observed lower ICU cumulative dosage of dobutamine (12 vs 19 mg/kg; p = 0.003) and a shorter ICU (3 [3-4] vs 5 [4-7] d; p < 0.001) and hospital length of stay (9 [8-16] vs 12 [9-22] d; p = 0.049) in the goal-directed therapy compared with the usual care group. There were no differences in 30-day mortality rates (4.8% vs 9.4%, respectively; p = 0.492). The metaanalysis identified six trials and showed that, when compared with standard treatment, goal-directed therapy reduced the overall rate of complications (goal-directed therapy, 47/410 [11%] vs usual care, 92/415 [22%]; odds ratio, 0.40 [95% CI, 0.26-0.63]; p < 0.0001) and decreased the hospital length of stay (mean difference, -5.44 d; 95% CI, -9.28 to -1.60; p = 0.006) with no difference in postoperative mortality: 9 of 410 (2.2%) versus 15 of 415 (3.6%), odds ratio, 0.61 (95% CI, 0.26-1.47), and p = 0.27. Conclusions: Goal-directed therapy using fluids, inotropes, and blood transfusion reduced 30-day major complications in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
- Carcinoid Heart Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review(2023) COSTA, Isabela Bispo Santos da Silva; MELO, Edielle de Sant Anna; FURTADO, Armando; SOBRAL-ALVES, Juliana Barbosa; RIZK, Stephanie Itala; BENVENUTI, Luiz Alberto; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel de Almeida; POMARENTZEFF, Pablo Maria; BITTAR, Cristina Salvadori; GALAS, Filomena Regina Barbosa Gomes; AULER JUNIOR, Jose Otavio Costa; HOFF, Paulo Marcelo Gehm; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli; HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao
- Clinical recommendations for postoperative care after heart transplantation in children: 21 years of a single-center experience(2014) AZEKA, Estela; JATENE, Marcelo Biscegli; TANAKA, Ana Cristina; GALAS, Filomena Regina; HAJJAR, Ludhmilla Abrahao; MIURA, Nana; AULER JUNIOR, Jose Otavio CostaHeart transplantation is an option for children with complex congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathies. A patient's quality of life and long-term survival depend on successful management of the surgical complications and adverse side effects of immunosuppression. The purpose of this review was to summarize the practical management of postoperative care in this patient population and to make recommendations for the future.
