ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To provide recommendations for enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery (ERACS) based on a multimodal perioperative medicine approach in adult cardiac surgery patients with the aim of improving patient satisfaction, reducing postoperative mortality and morbidity, and reducing the length of hospital stay. DESIGN: A consensus committee of 20 experts from the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (Société française d'anesthésie et de réanimation, SFAR) and the French Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (Société française de chirurgie thoracique et cardio-vasculaire, SFCTCV) was convened. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guideline process was conducted independently of any industry funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system to guide the assessment of the quality of evidence. METHODS: Six fields were defined: (1) selection of the patient pathway and its information; (2) preoperative management and rehabilitation; (3) anaesthesia and analgesia for cardiac surgery; (4) surgical strategy for cardiac surgery and bypass management; (5) patient blood management; and (6) postoperative enhanced recovery. For each field, the objective of the recommendations was to answer questions formulated according to the PICO model (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome). Based on these questions, an extensive bibliographic search was carried out and analyses were performed using the GRADE approach. The recommendations were formulated according to the GRADE methodology and then voted on by all the experts according to the GRADE grid method. RESULTS: The SFAR/SFCTCV guideline panel provided 33 recommendations on the management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass or off-pump. After three rounds of voting and several amendments, a strong agreement was reached for the 33 recommendations. Of these recommendations, 10 have a high level of evidence (7 GRADE 1+ and 3 GRADE 1-); 19 have a moderate level of evidence (15 GRADE 2+ and 4 GRADE 2-); and 4 are expert opinions. Finally, no recommendations were provided for 3 questions. CONCLUSIONS: Strong agreement existed among the experts to provide recommendations to optimise the complete perioperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Preoperative anemia is frequent in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with increased postoperative complications. The purpose of this observational study was to estimate the critical preoperative hemoglobin threshold associated with the occurrence of complications after cardiac surgery. DESIGN: A retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING: A tertiary-care medical center from January 2019 to April 2020. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1,004 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery were included. INTERVENTIONS: None (observational study). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The primary study endpoint was to define the hemoglobin threshold that predicted the occurrence of postoperative major complications after elective cardiac surgery. Postoperative complications were a composite criterion, including transient ischemic attack or stroke, myocardial infarction, acute kidney injury, respiratory failure, mediastinitis, or mesenteric ischemia. A discrimination threshold was determined by using receiver operating characteristic curves. The discrimination threshold for hemoglobin concentration with the best sensitivity/specificity ratio for the occurrence of postoperative complications was 13 g/dL for male patients and 11.8 g/dL for female patients. The incidence of postoperative complications was 17.2% in the total population. Independent risks were preoperative hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell transfusion, European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II, and the type of surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The critical preoperative hemoglobin thresholds associated with the occurrence of postoperative complications with the best sensitivity/specificity ratio were 13 g/dL for men and 11.8 g/dL for women, which were very similar to the World Health Organization criteria defining anemia.

ABSTRACT

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to an acute respiratory distress syndrome by an inappropriate cytokine response and may predispose to a prothrombotic state through multiple pathways. Both can complicate the management of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, which is known to activate the hemostatic system and to exacerbate systemic inflammatory response. Little is known about the impact of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass on viral pneumonia, particularly with the new coronavirus. In this article, we describe the case of a diabetic patient with COVID-19 and a concomitant 3-vessel disease with a formal indication for surgical revascularization, who unexpectedly presented with a high heparin resistance during cardiopulmonary bypass. Emphasis is placed on the importance of multidisciplinary team discussions before surgery, on the thorough preoperative assessment, and on the perioperative management, particularly regarding mechanical ventilation and anticoagulation.
