- Dynamic cerebral autoregulation: A marker of post-operative delirium?(2019) CALDAS, Juliana R.; PANERAI, Ronney B.; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; FERREIRA, Graziela S. R.; CAMARA, Ligia; PASSOS, R. H.; DE-LIMA-OLIVEIRA, Marcelo; GALAS, Filomena R. B. G.; ALMEIDA, Juliano P.; NOGUEIRA, Ricardo C.; MIAN, Natalia; GAIOTTO, Fabio A.; ROBINSON, Thompson G.; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.Objective: We investigated the potential association of cerebral autoregulation (CA) with postoperative delirium (PD), a common complication of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with CPB, cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and blood pressure (BP) were continuously recorded during 5-min preoperatively (T1), after 24 h (T2), and 7 days after procedure (T3). Prospective multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent risk factors of PD. Autoregulation index (ARI) was calculated from the CBFV response to a step change in BP derived by transfer function analysis. Results: In 67 patients, mean age 64.3 +/- 9.5 years, CA was depressed at T2 as shown by values of ARI (3.9 +/- 1.7), compared to T1 (5.6 +/- 1.7) and T3 (5.5 +/- 1.8) (p < 0.001). Impaired CA was found in 37 (55%) patients at T2 and in 7 patients (20%) at T3. Lower ARI at T1 and T2 were predictors of PD (p = 0.003). Conclusion: Dynamic CA was impaired after CABG surgery with CPB and was a significant independent risk factor of PD. Significance: Assessment of CA before and after surgery could have considerable potential for early identification of patients at risk of PD, thus reducing poor outcomes and length of stay.
- Vasopressin Versus Norepinephrine for the Management of Septic Shock in Cancer Patients: The VANCS II Randomized Clinical Trial*(2019) HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao; ZAMBOLIM, Cristiane; BELLETTI, Alessandro; ALMEIDA, Juliano Pinheiro de; GORDON, Anthony C.; OLIVEIRA, Gisele; PARK, Clarice Hyesuk Lee; FUKUSHIMA, Julia Tizue; RIZK, Stephanie Itala; SZELES, Tais Felix; SANTOS NETO, Nestor Cordeiro dos; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; GALAS, Filomena Regina Barbosa Gomes; LANDONI, GiovanniObjectives: Previous trials suggest that vasopressin may improve outcomes in patients with vasodilatory shock. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether vasopressin could be superior to norepinephrine to improve outcomes in cancer patients with septic shock. Design: Single-center, randomized, double-blind clinical trial, and meta-analysis of randomized trials. Setting: ICU of a tertiary care hospital. Patients: Two-hundred fifty patients 18 years old or older with cancer and septic shock. Interventions: Patients were assigned to either vasopressin or norepinephrine as first-line vasopressor therapy. An updated meta-analysis was also conducted including randomized trials published until October 2018. Measurements and Main Results: The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at 28 days after randomization. Prespecified secondary outcomes included 90-days all-cause mortality rate; number of days alive and free of advanced organ support at day 28; and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score 24 hours and 96 hours after randomization. We also measure the prevalence of adverse effects in 28 days. A total of 250 patients were randomized. The primary outcome was observed in 71 patients (56.8%) in the vasopressin group and 66 patients (52.8%) in the norepinephrine group (p = 0.52). There were no significant differences in 90-day mortality (90 patients [72.0%] and 94 patients [75.2%], respectively; p = 0.56), number of days alive and free of advanced organ support, adverse events, or Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score. Conclusions: In cancer patients with septic shock, vasopressin as first-line vasopressor therapy was not superior to norepinephrine in reducing 28-day mortality rate.

Nevertheless, small randomized controlled trials have failed to demonstrate a survival advantage. Thus, whether volatile anesthetics improve the postoperative outcome of cardiac surgical patients remains uncertain. An adequately powered randomized controlled trial appears desirable. Design: Single blinded, international, multicenter randomized controlled trial with 1:1 allocation ratio. Setting: Tertiary and University hospitals. Interventions: Patients (n = 10,600) undergoing coronary artery bypass graft will be randomized to receive either volatile anesthetic as part of the anesthetic plan, or total intravenous anesthesia. Measurements and main results: The primary end point of the study will be one-year mortality (any cause). Secondary endpoints will be 30-day mortality; 30-day death or non-fatal myocardial infarction (composite endpoint); cardiac mortality at 30 day and at one year; incidence of hospital re-admission during the one year follow-up period and duration of intensive care unit, and hospital stay. The sample size is based on the hypothesis that volatile anesthetics will reduce 1-year unadjusted mortality from 3% to 2%, using a two-sided alpha error of 0.05, and a power of 0.9. Conclusions: The trial will determine whether the simple intervention of adding a volatile anesthetic, an intervention that can be implemented by all anesthesiologists, can improve one-year survival in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
- Intra-aortic balloon pump does not influence cerebral hemodynamics and neurological outcomes in high-risk cardiac patients undergoing cardiac surgery: an analysis of the IABCS trial(2019) CALDAS, Juliana R.; PANERAI, Ronney B.; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; FERREIRA, Graziela S. R.; CAMARA, Ligia; PASSOS, Rogerio H.; SALINET, Angela M.; AZEVEDO, Daniel S.; DE-LIMA-OLIVEIRA, Marcelo; GALAS, Filomena R. B. G.; FUKUSHIMA, Julia T.; NOGUEIRA, Ricardo; TACCONE, Fabio S.; LANDONI, Giovanni; ALMEIDA, Juliano P.; ROBINSON, Thompson G.; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.Background The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is often used in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery to improve coronary perfusion and decrease afterload. The effects of the IABP on cerebral hemodynamics are unknown. We therefore assessed the effect of the IABP on cerebral hemodynamics and on neurological complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery who were randomized to receive or not receive preoperative IABP in the 'Intra-aortic Balloon Counterpulsation in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery' (IABCS) trial. Methods This is a prospectively planned analysis of the previously published IABCS trial. Patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery with ventricular ejection fraction <= 40% or EuroSCORE >= 6 received preoperative IABP (n = 90) or no IABP (n = 91). Cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) of the middle cerebral artery through transcranial Doppler and blood pressure through Finometer or intra-arterial line were recorded preoperatively (T1) and 24 h (T2) and 7 days after surgery (T3) in patients with preoperative IABP (n = 34) and without IABP (n = 33). Cerebral autoregulation was assessed by the autoregulation index that was estimated from the CBFV response to a step change in blood pressure derived by transfer function analysis. Delirium, stroke and cognitive decline 6 months after surgery were recorded. Results There were no differences between the IABP and control patients in the autoregulation index (T1: 5.5 +/- 1.9 vs. 5.7 +/- 1.7; T2: 4.0 +/- 1.9 vs. 4.1 +/- 1.6; T3: 5.7 +/- 2.0 vs. 5.7 +/- 1.6, p = 0.97) or CBFV (T1: 57.3 +/- 19.4 vs. 59.3 +/- 11.8; T2: 74.0 +/- 21.6 vs. 74.7 +/- 17.5; T3: 71.1 +/- 21.3 vs. 68.1 +/- 15.1 cm/s; p = 0.952) at all time points. Groups were not different regarding postoperative rates of delirium (26.5% vs. 24.2%, p = 0.83), stroke (3.0% vs. 2.9%, p = 1.00) or cognitive decline through analysis of the Mini-Mental State Examination (16.7% vs. 40.7%; p = 0.07) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (79.16% vs. 81.5%; p = 1.00). Conclusions The preoperative use of the IABP in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery did not affect cerebral hemodynamics and was not associated with a higher incidence of neurological complications. Trial registration (NCT02143544).
- 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. V.; PILEGGI, Brunna; LEME, Alcino C.; FOMINSKIY, Evgeny; SAKR, Yasser; LIMA, Marta; FRANCO, Rafael A.; CHAN, Raquel P. C.; PICCIONI, Marilde A.; MENDES, Priscilla; MENEZES, Suellen R.; BRUNO, Tatiana; GAIOTTO, Fabio A.; LISBOA, Luiz A.; DALLAN, Luiz A. 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.
- High lactate levels are predictors of major complications after cardiac surgery(2013) HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.; ALMEIDA, Juliano P.; FUKUSHIMA, Julia T.; RHODES, Andrew; VINCENT, Jean-Louis; OSAWA, Eduardo A.; GALAS, Filomena R. B. G.Objective: Although hyperlactatemia after cardiac surgery is common, the implications of raised levels remain controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether high lactate levels after cardiac surgery are predictors of major complications including mortality. Patients and Methods: This was a substudy of TRACS (Transfusion Requirements After Cardiac Surgery), which was designed as a prospective, randomized, controlled trial evaluating the effects of a transfusion strategy on morbidity and mortality. Results: Of the 502 patients enrolled, 52 (10%) had at least 1 major complication. Patients with complications were older, had a higher EuroSCORE, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, lower preoperative hemoglobin, a higher prevalence of renal disease, and received more blood transfusions than the group without complications. Lactate levels were higher in the group with complications at the end of surgery (3.6 mmol/L [2.8-5.1] vs 3.3 mmol/L [2.2-4.8]; P = .018), immediately after intensive care unit (ICU) admission (0 hour) (4.4 mmol/L [3.1-8.4] vs 4 mmol/L [2.6-6.4]; P = .048); 6 hours (4 mmol/L [2.7-5.8] vs 2.6 mmol/L [2-3.6], P < .001), and 12 hours after admission (2.3 mmol/L [1.8-3.2] vs 1.7 mmol/L [1.3-2]; P < .001). In a multivariate model, higher age (odds ratio [OR], 1.048, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.011-1.086; P = .010), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) lower than 40% (OR, 3.03; 95% CI, 1.200-7.510; P = .019 compared with LVEF of 40%-59%; OR, 3.571; 95% CI, 1.503-8.196; P = .004 compared with LVEF higher than 60%), higher EuroSCORE (OR, 1.138; 95% CI; 1.007-1.285; P = .038), red blood cell transfusion (OR, 1.230; 95% CI, 1.086-1.393; P = .001), and lactate levels 6 hours after ICU admission (OR, 3.28, 95% CI; 1.61-6.69; P = .001) are predictors of major complications. Conclusions: Hyperlactatemia 6 hours after ICU admission is an independent risk factor for worse outcomes in adult patients after cardiac surgery.
- Transfusion Requirements in Surgical Oncology Patients A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial(2015) ALMEIDA, Juliano Pinheiro de; VINCENT, Jean-Louis; GALAS, Filomena Regina Barbosa Gomes; ALMEIDA, Elisangela Pinto Marinho de; FUKUSHIMA, Julia T.; OSAWA, Eduardo A.; BERGAMIN, Fabricio; PARK, Clarice Lee; NAKAMURA, Rosana Ely; FONSECA, Silvia M. R.; CUTAIT, Guilherme; ALVES, Joseane Inacio; BAZAN, Mellik; VIEIRA, Silvia; SANDRINI, Ana C. Vieira; PALOMBA, Henrique; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; CRIPPA, Alexandre; DALLOGLIO, Marcos; DIZ, Maria del Pilar Estevez; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; AULER JR., Jose Otavio Costa; RHODES, Andrew; HAJJAR, Ludhmila AbrahaoBackground: Several studies have indicated that a restrictive erythrocyte transfusion strategy is as safe as a liberal one in critically ill patients, but there is no clear evidence to support the superiority of any perioperative transfusion strategy in patients with cancer. Methods: In a randomized, controlled, parallel-group, double-blind (patients and outcome assessors) superiority trial in the intensive care unit of a tertiary oncology hospital, the authors evaluated whether a restrictive strategy of erythrocyte transfusion (transfusion when hemoglobin concentration <7 g/dl) was superior to a liberal one (transfusion when hemoglobin concentration <9 g/dl) for reducing mortality and severe clinical complications among patients having major cancer surgery. All adult patients with cancer having major abdominal surgery who required postoperative intensive care were included and randomly allocated to treatment with the liberal or the restrictive erythrocyte transfusion strategy. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of mortality and morbidity. Results: A total of 198 patients were included as follows: 101 in the restrictive group and 97 in the liberal group. The primary composite endpoint occurred in 19.6% (95% CI, 12.9 to 28.6%) of patients in the liberal-strategy group and in 35.6% (27.0 to 45.4%) of patients in the restrictive-strategy group (P = 0.012). Compared with the restrictive strategy, the liberal transfusion strategy was associated with an absolute risk reduction for the composite outcome of 16% (3.8 to 28.2%) and a number needed to treat of 6.2 (3.5 to 26.5). Conclusion: A liberal erythrocyte transfusion strategy with a hemoglobin trigger of 9 g/dl was associated with fewer major postoperative complications in patients having major cancer surgery compared with a restrictive strategy.
- Cerebral blood flow autoregulation in ischemic heart failure(2017) CALDAS, J. R.; PANERAI, R. B.; HAUNTON, V. J.; ALMEIDA, J. P.; FERREIRA, G. S. R.; CAMARA, L.; NOGUEIRA, R. C.; BOR-SENG-SHU, E.; OLIVEIRA, M. L.; GROEHS, R. R. V.; FERREIRA-SANTOS, L.; TEIXEIRA, M. J.; GALAS, F. R. B. G.; ROBINSON, T. G.; JATENE, F. B.; HAJJAR, L. A.Patients with ischemic heart failure (iHF) have a high risk of neurological complications such as cognitive impairment and stroke. We hypothesized that iHF patients have a higher incidence of impaired dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA). Adult patients with iHF and healthy volunteers were included. Cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV, transcranial Doppler, middle cerebral artery), end-tidal CO2 (capnography), and arterial blood pressure (Finometer) were continuously recorded supine for 5 min at rest. Autoregulation index (ARI) was estimated from the CBFV step response derived by transfer function analysis using standard template curves. Fifty-two iHF patients and 54 age-, gender-, and BP-matched healthy volunteers were studied. Echocardiogram ejection fraction was 40 (20-45) % in iHF group. iHF patients compared with control subjects had reduced end-tidal CO2 (34.1 +/- 3.7 vs. 38.3 +/- 4.0 mmHg, P < 0.001) and lower ARI values (5.1 +/- 1.6 vs. 5.9 +/- 1.0, P = 0.012). ARI <4, suggestive of impaired CA, was more common in iHF patients (28.8 vs. 7.4%, P = 0.004). These results confirm that iHF patients are more likely to have impaired dCA compared with age-matched controls. The relationship between impaired dCA and neurological complications in iHF patients deserves further investigation.
