RESUMO

Echocardiography has gained wide acceptance among intensive care physicians during the last 15 years. The lack of accredited formation, the long learning curve required and the excessive structural orientation of the present algorithms to evaluate hemodynamically unstable patients hampers its daily use in the intensive care unit. The aim of this article is to show 4 cases where the use of our simple algorithm based on VTI, was crucial. Subsequently, to explain the benefit of using the proposed algorithm with a more functional perspective, as a means for clinical decision-making. A simple algorithm based on left ventricle outflow tract velocity-time integral measurement for a functional hemodynamic monitoring on patients suffering hemodynamic shock or instability is proposed by Spanish Critical Care Ultrasound Network Group. This algorithm considers perfusion and congestion variables. Its simplicity might be useful for guiding physicians in their daily decision-making managing critically ill patients in hemodynamic shock.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Right ventricular failure after cardiac surgery is associated with morbidity and mortality. Right ventricular dysfunction results in hepatic venous congestion, which impacts the portal circulation. We aimed to determine whether an increased portal flow pulsatility fraction was associated with right ventricular dysfunction in cardiac surgery patients. We also aimed to describe the haemodynamic factors and postoperative complications associated with an increased portal pulsatility in this setting. METHODS: We conducted a prospective single-centre cohort study, recruiting adults undergoing cardiac surgery. Portal flow was assessed before, during, and after surgery by Doppler ultrasound. A detailed haemodynamic and echocardiographic assessment was performed at the same time points. RESULTS: A total of 115 patients were included. Both systolic and diastolic right ventricular dysfunction were associated with a higher portal pulsatility fraction (P=0.008 and <0.001, respectively). A positive association was present between portal pulsatility fraction and measurements representative of venous pressure (central venous pressure, inferior vena cava diameter). A post-procedural portal pulsatility fraction ≥50% measured in the operating room was present in 21 (18.3%) patients and was associated with an increased risk of major complications (odds ratio=5.83, confidence interval, 2.04-16.68, P=0.001). The addition of portal flow assessment to a predictive model including EuroSCORE II and systolic right ventricular dysfunction improved prediction of postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: High portal flow pulsatility fraction is associated with right ventricular dysfunction, signs of venous congestion and decreased perfusion, and an increased risk of major complications. Portal vein Doppler ultrasound appears to be promising for risk assessment in the perioperative period. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: NCT02658006.
