- Pre-validation Study of the Brazilian Version of the Disruptions in Surgery Index (DiSI) as a Safety Tool in Cardiothoracic Surgery(2017) NINA, Vinicius Jose da Silva; JATENE, Fabio B.; SEVDALIS, Nick; MEJIA, Omar Asdrubal Vilca; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel de Almeida; MONTEIRO, Rosangela; CANEO, Luiz Fernando; SCUDELLER, Paula Gobi; MENDES, Augusto Dimitry; MENDES, Vinicius Giuliano; ROMANO, Bellkiss WilmaIntroduction: Most risk stratification scores used in surgery do not include external and non-technical factors as predictors of morbidity and mortality. Objective: The present study aimed to translate and adapt transculturally the Brazilian version of the Disruptions in Surgery Index (DiSI) questionnaire, which was developed to capture the self-perception of each member of the surgical team regarding the disruptions that may contribute to error and obstruction of safe surgical flow. Methods: A universalist approach was adopted to evaluate the conceptual equivalence of items and semantics, which included the following stages: (1) translation of the questionnaire into Portuguese; (2) back translation into English; (3) panel of experts to draft the preliminary version; and (4) pre-test for evaluation of verbal comprehension by the target population of 43 professionals working in cardiothoracic surgery. Results: The questionnaire was translated into Portuguese and its final version with 29 items obtained 89.6% approval from the panel of experts. The target population evaluated all items as easy to understand. The mean overall clarity and verbal comprehension observed in the pre-test reached 4.48 +/- 0.16 out of the maximum value of 5 on the psychometric Likert scale. Conclusion: Based on the methodology used, the experts' analysis and the results of the pre-test, it is concluded that the essential stages of translation and cross-cultural adaptation of DiSI to the Portuguese language were satisfactorily fulfilled in this study.
- Quality improvement program in Latin America decreases mortality after cardiac surgery: a before-after intervention study(2022) MEJIA, Omar Asdrubal Vilca; BORGOMONI, Gabrielle Barbosa; DALLAN, Luis Roberto Palma; MIOTO, Bruno Mahler; ACCORSI, Tarso Augusto Duenhas; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; SOEIRO, Alexandre de Matos; LIMA, Felipe Gallego; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel de Almeida; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo Maria Alberto; DALLAN, Luis Alberto Oliveira; LISBOA, Luiz Augusto FerreiraBackground: The current challenge of cardiac surgery (CS) is to improve outcomes in adverse scenarios. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a quality improvement program (QIP) on hospital mortality in the largest CS center in Latin America.Methods: Patients were divided into two groups: before (Jan 2013-Dec 2015, n = 3534) and after establishment of the QIP (Jan 2017-Dec 2019, n = 3544). The QIP consisted of the implementation of 10 central initiatives during 2016. The procedures evaluated were isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG), mitral valve surgery, aortic valve surgery, combined mitral and aortic valve surgery, and CABG associated with heart valve surgery. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was used to adjust for inequality in patients' preoperative characteristics before and after the implementation of QIP. A multivariate logistic regression model was built to predict hospital mortality and validated using discrimination and calibration metrics.Results: The PMS paired two groups using 5 variables, obtaining 858 patients operated before (non-QIP) and 858 patients operated after the implementation of the QIP. When comparing the QIP versus Non-QIP group, there was a shorter length of stay in all phases of hospitalization. In addition, the patients evolved with less anemia (P = 0.001), use of intra-aortic balloon pump (P = 0.003), atrial fibrillation (P = 0.001), acute kidney injury (P < 0.001), cardiogenic shock (P = 0.011), sepsis (P = 0.046), and hospital mortality (P = 0.001). In the multiple model, among the predictors of hospital mortality, the lack of QIP increased the chances of mortality by 2.09 times.Conclusion: The implementation of a first CS QIP in Latin America was associated with a reduction in length of hospital stay, complications and mortality after the cardiac surgeries analyzed.
- Late outcome analysis of the Braile Biomedica (R) pericardial valve in the aortic position(2014) AZEREDO, Lisandro Goncalves; VERONESE, Elinthon Tavares; SANTIAGO, Jose Augusto Duncan; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel de Almeida; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo Maria Alberto; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliObjective: Aortic valve replacement with Braile bovine pericardial prosthesis has been routinely done at the Heart Institute of the Universidade de Sao Paulo Medical School since 2006. The objective of this study is to analyze the results of Braile Biomedica (R) aortic bioprosthesis in patients with aortic valve disease. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 196 patients with aortic valve disease submitted to aortic valve replacement with Braile Biomedica (R) bovine pericardial prosthesis, between 2006 and 2010. Mean age was 59.41 +/- 16.34 years and 67.3% were male. Before surgery, 73.4% of patients were in NYHA functional class III or IV. Results: Hospital mortality was 8.16% (16 patients). Linearized rates of mortality, endocarditis, reintervention, and structural dysfunction were 1.065%, 0.91%, 0.68% and 0.075% patients/year, respectively. Actuarial survival was 90.59 +/- 2.56% in 88 months. Freedom from reintervention, endocarditis and structural dysfunction was respectively 91.38 +/- 2.79%, 89.84 +/- 2.92% and 98.57 +/- 0.72% in 88 months. Conclusion: The Braile Biomedica (R) pericardial aortic valve prosthesis demonstrated actuarial survival and durability similar to that described in the literature, but further follow up is required to assess the incidence of prosthetic valve endocarditis and structural dysfunction in the future.
- Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: Three Cases Report and Literature Review(2019) VERONESE, Elinthon Tavares; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel de Almeida; STEFFEN, Samuel Padovani; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo; JATENE, Fabio B.Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare cardiac malformation. Many cases are incidentally diagnosed in aortic surgeries or autopsies and it usually appears as an isolated anomaly. The most widely classification used is the one by Hurwitz and Roberts[1], which divides 7 alphabetical subtypes based on the cusps size. The aim of this report is to describe three different anatomic presentations of this rare aortic valve anomaly.
- Evaluation method of training simulation on biological models for cardiovascular surgery residents(2021) BRANDAO, Carlos M. de A.; DALLAN, Luis R. P.; DINATO, Fabricio J.; MONTEIRO, Rosangela; FIORELLI, Alfredo I.; JATENE, Fabio B.Objectives The goal of this study was to describe and evaluate our simulation training program on biological models for the cardiovascular surgery residency program at our institution. Material and Methods Since 2016, with the purpose to develop better practical performance and evaluate the improvement of resident's surgical skills, a simulation training program was implemented, composed of some elemental procedures in cardiovascular surgery. It was established with one wet lab session weekly lasting 2 h, coached by two expert cardiovascular surgeons. Bovine and porcine hearts were used as biological models. At the end of the hands-on program, an objective assessment consisting of two practical modules was applied and performance was rated by way of a 5-point scale. In addition, to provide a subjective assessment, each resident filled out a questionnaire consisting of three items reviewing the overall quality of the workshops on a 10-point scale. Results The objective evaluation applied at the end of the training program consisted of valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) modules. The mean performance rating scores for the valve replacement module ranged from 4.2 to 4.79, and CABG, from 4.33 to 4.87. Regarding subjective assessment, all items evaluated, such as expert's didactics, simulation performance, and biological simulator fidelity, received high grades (above 9 on a 10-point scale). Conclusions Simulator training on biological models for cardiac surgery medical residents is a simple and effective learning method of surgical skills.
- Fatores de risco pré-operatórios para mediastinite após cirurgia cardíaca: análise de 2768 paciente(2012) TIVERON, Marcos Gradim; FIORELLI, Alfredo Inacio; MOTA, Eduardo Moeller; MEJIA, Omar Asdrubal Vilca; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel de Almeida; DALLAN, Luis A. O.; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo A. M.; STOLF, Noedir A. G.Background: Longitudinal median sternotomy is the most common surgical approach for access to heart disease treatment. The deep wound infections in postoperative period of cardiovascular surgery are a serious complication requiring high costs during treatment. Different studies have indicated some risk factors for the development of mediastinitis and preoperative variables are currently under investigation. Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the preoperative risk factors for postoperative development of mediastinitis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and valve replacement. Methods: This observational study represents a cohort of 2768 consecutive operated patients. The period considered for analysis was from May 2007 to May 2009 and there were no exclusion criteria. Analysis was performed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression model of 38 preoperative variables. Results: Thirty-five (1.3%) patients developed mediastinitis and 19 (0.7%) associated with osteomyelitis. The patient age average was 59.9 +/- 13.5 years and the EuroSCORE of 4.5 +/- 3.6. Hospital mortality was 42.8%. The multivariate analysis identified three variables as independent predictors of postoperative mediastinitis: intra-aortic balloon pump (OR 5.41, 95% CI [1.83 -16.01], P = 0.002), hemodialysis (OR 4.87, 95% CI [1.41 to 16.861, P = 0.012) and extracardiac vascular intervention (OR 4.39,95% CI [1.64 to 11.761,P = 0.003). Conclusion: This study showed that necessity of preoperative hemodynamic support with intra-aortic balloon, hemodialysis, and extracardiac vascular intervention were risk factors for development of mediastinitis after cardiac surgery.
- Long-term evolution of mitral commissurotomy in rheumatic patients with low echocardiographic score(2011) SOUZA, Luciano Rapold; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel de Almeida; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo Maria Alberto; LEITE FILHO, Osanam Amorim; CARDOSO, Luiz Francisco; STOLF, Noedir Antonio GroppoIntroduction: The good results of open mitral commissurotomy are well known and there is a hypothesis that it could provide better results in patients selected by echocardiographic score. Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the late results with open mitral commissurotomy in patients selected by score and to identify variables influencing these results. Methods: From January 1990 to August 1994,50 patients were submitted to open mitral commissurotomy due to rheumatic mitral stenosis in Heart Institute of University of Sao Paulo Medical School. Patients with age < 60 years, in functional class II, III or IV (New York Heart Association) and echocardiographic score 9 were included. The mean age was 32.7 8.3 years and 41 patients (82%) were female. The functional class was II in three patients (6%), III in 46 (92%) and IV in one (2%). Forty six patients (92%) were in sinus rhythm and four (8%) were in atrial fibrillation. The mean mitral valve area was 0.9 +/- 0.2 cm(2). Results: There was no hospital mortality. There were two late deaths, one related to valve disease. Actuarial survival was 95.5 +/- 3.1 %, freedom from reoperation was 62.3 +/- 11,8% and freedom from tromboembolism was 88,2 +/- 5,0% in 18 years. There was no endocarditis. The grade of the echocardiographic score had no significant influence on the reoperations in late evolution. Conclusion: Open mitral commissurotomy presented excelent long term results in rheumatic patients with low echocardiographic score.
- Mitral annulus morphologic and functional analysis using real time tridimensional echocardiography in patients submitted to unsupported mitral valve repair(2015) GUEDES, Marco Antonio Vieira; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo Maria Alberto; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel de Almeida; VIEIRA, Marcelo Luiz Campos; TARASOUTCHI, Flavio; SPINOLA, Pablo da Cunha; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliIntroduction: Mitral valve repair is the treatment of choice to correct mitral insufficiency, although the literature related to mitral valve annulus behavior after mitral repair without use of prosthetic rings is scarce. Objective: To analyze mitral annulus morphology and function using real time tridimensional echocardiography in individuals submitted to mitral valve repair with Double Teflon technique. Methods: Fourteen patients with mitral valve insufficiency secondary to mixomatous degeneration that were submitted to mitral valve repair with the Double Teflon technique were included. Thirteen patients were in FC III/IV. Patients were evaluated in preoperative period, immediate postoperative period, 6 months and 1 year after mitral repair. Statistical analysis was made by repeated measures ANOVA test and was considered statistically significant P<0.05. Results: There were no deaths, reoperation due to valve dysfunction, thromboembolism or endocarditis during the study. Posterior mitral annulus demonstrated a significant reduction in immediate postoperative period (P<0.001), remaining stable during the study, and presents a mean of reduction of 25.8% comparing with preoperative period. There was a significant reduction in anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters in the immediate postoperative period (P<0.001), although there was a significant increase in mediolateral diameter between immediate postoperative period and 1 year. There was no difference in mitral internal area variation over the cardiac cycle during the study. Conclusion: Segmentar annuloplasty reduced the posterior component of mitral annulus, which remained stable in a 1-year-period. The variation in mitral annulus area during cardiac cycle remained stable during the study.
- Applicability of the Disruptions in Surgery Index in the Cardiovascular Management Scenarios - A Marker for Developing Functionally Efficient Teams(2021) NINA, Vinicius; MENDES, Augusto Goncalves; SEVDALIS, Nick; MARATH, Aubyn; MEJIA, Omar Vilca; BRANDAO, Carlos Manuel A.; MONTEIRO, Rosangela; MENDES, Vinicius Giuliano; JATENE, Fabio B.Introduction: To support the development of practices and guidelines that might help to reduce adverse events related to human factors, we aimed to study the response and perception by members of a cardiovascular surgery team of various error-driven or adverse features that might arise in the operating room (OR). Methods: A previously validated Disruptions in Surgery Index (DiSI) questionnaire was completed by individuals working together in a cardiovascular surgical unit. Results were submitted to reliability analysis by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's post-test were performed to estimate differences in perceptions of adverse events or outcomes between the groups (surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, and technicians). P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients showed consistency within the recommended range for all disruption types assessed in DiSI: an individual's skill (0.85), OR environment (0.88), communication (0.81), situational awareness (0.92), patient-related disruption (0.89), team cohesion (0.83), and organizational disruption (0.83). Nurses (27.4%) demonstrated significantly higher perception of disruptions than surgeons (25.4%), anesthetists (23.3%), and technicians (23.0%) (P=0.005). Study participants were more observant of their colleagues' disruptive behaviors than their own (P=0.0001). Conclusion: Our results revealed that there is a tendency among participants to hold a positive self-perception position. DiSI appears to be a reliable and useful tool to assess surgical disruptions in cardiovascular OR teams, identifying negative features that might imperil teamwork and safety in the OR. And human factors training interventions are available to develop team skills and improve safety and efficiency in the cardiovascular OR.
