We hypothesized that using cardiac index (CI)-guided GDHT in the postoperative period for patients undergoing high-risk surgery for cancer treatment would reduce 30-day mortality and postoperative complications. Methods: A randomized, parallel-group, superiority trial was performed in a tertiary oncology hospital. All adult patients undergoing high-risk cancer surgery who required intensive care unit admission were randomly allocated to a CI-guided GDHT group or to a usual care group. In the GDHT group, postoperative therapy aimed at CI >= 2.5 L/min/m(2) using fluids, inotropes and red blood cells during the first 8 postoperative hours. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of 30-day all-cause mortality and severe postoperative complications during the hospital stay. A meta-analysis was also conducted including all randomized trials of postoperative GDHT published from 1966 to May 2017. Results: A total of 128 patients (64 in each group) were randomized. The primary outcome occurred in 34 patients of the GDHT group and in 28 patients of the usual care group (53.1% vs 43.8%, absolute difference 9.4 (95% CI, -7.8 to 25.8); p = 0.3). During the 8-h intervention period more patients in the GDHT group received dobutamine when compared to the usual care group (55% vs 16%, p < 0.001). A meta-analysis of nine randomized trials showed no differences in postoperative mortality (risk ratio 0.85, 95% CI 0.59-1.23; p = 0.4; p for heterogeneity = 0.7; I-2 = 0%) and in the overall complications rate (risk ratio 0.88, 95% CI 0.71-1.08; p = 0.2; p for heterogeneity = 0.07; I-2 = 48%), but a reduced hospital length of stay in the GDHT group (mean difference (MD) - 1.6; 95% CI - 2.75 to -0.46; p = 0.006; p for heterogeneity = 0.002; I-2 = 74%). Conclusions: CI-guided hemodynamic therapy in the first 8 postoperative hours does not reduce 30-day mortality and severe complications during hospital stay when compared to usual care in cancer patients undergoing high-risk surgery.
- Effect of a Perioperative Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump in High-Risk Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial(2018) FERREIRA, Graziela Santos Rocha; ALMEIDA, Juliano Pinheiro de; LANDONI, Giovanni; VINCENT, Jean Louis; FOMINSKIY, Evgeny; GALAS, Filomena Regina Barbosa Gomes; GAIOTTO, Fabio A.; DALLAN, Luis Oliveira; FRANCO, Rafael Alves; LISBOA, Luiz Augusto; DALLAN, Luis Roberto Palma; FUKUSHIMA, Julia Tizue; RIZK, Stephanie Itala; PARK, Clarice Lee; STRABELLI, Tania Mara; LAGE, Silvia Helena Gelas; CAMARA, Ligia; ZEFERINO, Suely; JARDIM, Jaquelline; ARITA, Elisandra Cristina Trevisan Calvo; RIBEIRO, Juliana Caldas; AYUB-FERREIRA, Silvia Moreira; AULER JR., Jose Otavio Costa; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli; HAJJAR, Ludhmila AbrahaoObjectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump use in high-risk cardiac surgery patients. Design: A single-center randomized controlled trial and a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Setting: Heart Institute of SAo Paulo University. Patients: High-risk patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery. Intervention: Patients were randomized to receive preskin incision intra-aortic balloon pump insertion after anesthesia induction versus no intra-aortic balloon pump use. Measurements and Main Results: The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of 30-day mortality and major morbidity (cardiogenic shock, stroke, acute renal failure, mediastinitis, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and a need for reoperation). A total of 181 patients (mean [sd] age 65.4 [9.4] yr; 32% female) were randomized. The primary outcome was observed in 43 patients (47.8%) in the intra-aortic balloon pump group and 42 patients (46.2%) in the control group (p = 0.46). The median duration of inotrope use (51hr [interquartile range, 32-94 hr] vs 39hr [interquartile range, 25-66 hr]; p = 0.007) and the ICU length of stay (5 d [interquartile range, 3-8 d] vs 4 d [interquartile range, 3-6 d]; p = 0.035) were longer in the intra-aortic balloon pump group than in the control group. A meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials confirmed a lack of survival improvement in high-risk cardiac surgery patients with perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump use. Conclusions: In high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the perioperative use of an intra-aortic balloon pump did not reduce the occurrence of a composite outcome of 30-day mortality and major complications compared with usual care alone.

B. G.; JATENE, Fabio B.; JATENE, Marcelo B.Introduction: Donor shortage and organ allocation is the main problem in pediatric heart transplant. Mechanical circulatory support is known to increase waiting list survival, but it is not routinely used in pediatric programs in Latin America. Methods: All patients listed for heart transplant and supported by a mechanical circulatory support between January 2012 and March 2016 were included in this retrospective single-center study. The endpoints were mechanical circulatory support time, complications, heart transplant survival and discharge from the hospital. Results: Twenty-nine patients from our waiting list were assessed. Twelve (45%) patients were initially supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and a centrifugal pump was implanted in 17 (55%) patients. Five patients initially supported by ECMO were bridged to another device. One was bridged to a centrifugal pump and four were bridged to Berlin Heart Excor (R). Among the 29 supported patients, 18 (62%) managed to have a heart transplant. Thirty-day survival period after heart transplant was 56% (10 patients). Median support duration was 12 days (interquartile range [IQR] 4-26 days) per run and the waiting time for heart transplant was 9.5 days (IQR 2.5-25 days). Acute kidney injury was identified as a mortality predictor (OR=22.6 [CI=1.04-494.6]; P=0.04). Conclusion: Mechanical circulatory support was able to bridge most INTERMACS 1 and 2 pediatric patients to transplant with an acceptable complication rate. Acute renal failure increased mortality after mechanical circulatory support in our experience.

Design: Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Participants: Cardiac surgery patients. Interventions: A search of Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Embase, and MEDLINE for RCTs that compared nitric oxide with placebo or other comparators. Measurements and Main Results: The primary outcome was intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and secondary outcomes were mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, and reduction of mean pulmonary artery pressure. The study included 18 RCTs comprising 958 patients. The authors calculated the pooled odds ratio (OR) and the mean difference (MD) with random-effects model. Quantitative synthesis of data demonstrated a clinically negligible reduction in the length of ICU stay (MD -0.38 days, confidence interval CI [-0.65 to -0.11]; p = 0.005) and mechanical ventilation duration (MD -4.81 hours, CI [-7.79 to -1.83]; p = 0.002) compared with all control interventions with no benefit on mortality. Conclusions: Perioperative delivery of inhaled nitric oxide resulted to be of no or minimal benefit in patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing cardiac surgery. Large, randomized trials are needed to further assess its effect on major clinical outcomes and its cost-effectiveness.

A.; FELTRIM, M. I.; NOZAWA, E.- Dynamic cerebral autoregulation is impaired during submaximal isometric handgrip in patients with heart failure(2018) CALDAS, J. R.; PANERAI, R. B.; SALHIET, A. M.; SENG-SHU, E.; FERREIRA, G. S. R.; CAMARA, L.; PASSOS, R. H.; GALAS, F. R. B. G.; ALMEIDA, J. P.; NOGUEIRA, R. C.; OLIVEIRA, M. de Lima; ROBINSON, T. G.; HAJJAR, L. A.The incidence of neurological complications, including stroke and cognitive dysfunction, is elevated in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction. We hypothesized that the cerebrovascular response to isometric handgrip (iHG) is altered in patients with HF. Adults with HF and healthy volunteers were included. Cerebral blood velocity (CBV; transcranial Doppler, middle cerebral artery) and arterial blood pressure (BP; Finometer) were continuously recorded supine for 6 min, corresponding to 1 min of baseline and 3 min of iHG exercise, at 30% maximum voluntary contraction, followed by 2 min of recovery. The resistance-area product was calculated from the instantaneous BP-CBV relationship. Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) was assessed with the time-varying autoregulation index estimated from the CBV step response derived by an autoregressive moving-average time-domain model. Forty patients with HF and 23 BP-matched healthy volunteers were studied. Median left ventricular ejection fraction was 38.5% (inter-quartile range: 0.075%) in the HF group. Compared with control subjects. patients with HF exhibited lower time-varying autoregulation index during iHG, indicating impaired dCA (P < 0.025). During iHG, there were steep rises in CBV. BP, and heart rate in control subjects but with different temporal patterns in HF, which, together with the temporal evolution of resistance-area product, confirmed the disturbance in dCA in HF. Patients with HF were more likely to have impaired dCA during iHG compared with age-matched control subjects. Our results also suggest an impairment of myogenic, neurogenic. and metabolic control mechanisms in HF. The relationship between impaired dCA and neurological complications in patients with HF during exercise deserves further investigation. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our findings provide the first direct evidence that cerebral blood flow regulatory mechanisms can be affected in patients with heart failure during isometric handgrip exercise. As a consequence, eventual blood pressure modulations are buffered less efficiently and metabolic demands may not be met during common daily activities. These deficits in cerebral autoregulation are compounded by limitations of the systemic response to isometric exercise, suggesting that patients with heart failure may be at greater risk for cerebral events during exercise.
