RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Combined heart-liver transplantation (CHLT) is becoming increasingly frequent as a maturing population of patients with Fontan-palliated congenital heart disease develop advanced liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. The authors present their experience with CHLT for congenital and noncongenital indications, and identify characteristics associated with poor outcomes that may guide intervention in high-risk patients. DESIGN: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. SETTING: This study was conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. PARTICIPANTS: The study included 16 consecutive adult recipients of CHLT at the authors' institution between April 2017 and February 2022. INTERVENTIONS: Eleven patients underwent transplantation for Fontan indications, and 5 were transplanted for non-Fontan indications. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Compared with non-Fontan patients, Fontan recipients had longer cardiopulmonary bypass duration (199 v 119 minutes, p =m0.002), operative times (786 v 599 minutes, p = 0.01), and larger blood product transfusions (15.4 v 6.3 L, p = 0.18). Six of 16 patients required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), of whom 4 were Fontan patients who subsequently died. Patients who required ECMO had lower 5-hour lactate clearance (0.0 v 3.5 mmol/L, p = 0.001), higher number of vasoactive infusions, lower pulmonary artery pulsatility indices (0.58 v 1.77, p = 0.03), and higher peak inspiratory pressures (28.0 v 18.5 mmHg, p = 0.01) after liver reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS: Combined heart-liver transplantation in patients with Fontan-associated end-organ disease is particularly challenging and associated with higher recipient morbidity compared with non-Fontan-related CHLT. Early hemodynamic intervention for signs of ventricular dysfunction may improve outcomes in this growing high-risk population.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we highlight the important anesthetic consideration that relate to interventional bronchoscopic procedures for the management of central airway obstruction due to anterior mediastinal masses, endoluminal endobronchial obstruction, peripheral bronchoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of lung nodules, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction and medical pleuroscopy for diagnosis and management of pleural diseases. RECENT FINDINGS: The advent of the field of Interventional Pulmonology has allowed for minimally invasive options for patients with a wide range of lung diseases which at times have replaced more invasive surgical procedures. Ongoing research has shed light on advancement in anesthetic techniques and management strategies that have increased the safety during peri-operative management during these complex procedures. Current evidence focusing on the anesthetic techniques is presented here. SUMMARY: The field of Interventional Pulmonology requires a tailored anesthetic approach. Recent advancements and ongoing research have focused on expanding the partnership between the anesthesiologist and interventional pulmonologists which has led to improved outcomes for patients undergoing these procedures.

RESUMO

There are minimal data on the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane life support (VA-ECLS) in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients presenting with cardiogenic shock (CS). This study sought to describe the population of ACHD patients with CS who received VA-ECLS in the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry. This was a retrospective analysis of adult patients with diagnoses of ACHD and CS in ELSO from 2009-2021. Anatomic complexity was categorized using the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association 2018 guidelines. We described patient characteristics, complications, and outcomes, as well as trends in mortality and VA-ECLS utilization. Of 528 patients who met inclusion criteria, there were 32 patients with high-complexity anatomy, 196 with moderate-complexity anatomy, and 300 with low-complexity anatomy. The median age was 59.6 years (interquartile range, 45.8-68.2). The number of VA-ECLS implants increased from five implants in 2010 to 81 implants in 2021. Overall mortality was 58.3% and decreased year-by-year (ß= -2.03 [95% confidence interval, -3.36 to -0.70], p = 0.007). Six patients (1.1%) were bridged to heart transplantation and 21 (4.0%) to durable ventricular assist device. Complications included cardiac arrhythmia/tamponade (21.6%), surgical site bleeding (17.6%), cannula site bleeding (11.4%), limb ischemia (7.4%), and stroke (8.7%). Utilization of VA-ECLS for CS in ACHD patients has increased over time with a trend toward improvement in survival to discharge.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for severe knee osteoarthritis (OA), a subset of patients experience significant postoperative pain and dissatisfaction. Several clinical trials support the analgesic benefits of genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GN-RFA) for non-operative knee OA, but only one prior trial has examined the effects of this intervention given preoperatively on postoperative outcomes following TKA, showing no analgesic benefit of cooled GN-RFA. The current study evaluated whether conventional thermal GN-RFA performed preoperatively resulted in significant improvements in pain and function following TKA. METHODS: This was a single-center, prospective, randomized, sham-controlled, double-blinded pilot trial in which patients received either conventional GN-RFA (n=30) or sham (n=30) between 2 and 4 weeks prior to their TKA. Baseline measures were obtained preprocedurally on the day of intervention, with follow-up outcomes obtained preoperatively on the day of surgery, and at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS: Patients receiving GN-RFA showed no significant improvements relative to sham controls in the primary outcome, pain intensity at rest at 6-week follow-up. Secondary outcomes, including pain with ambulation and physical function, also showed no significant differences between groups at any follow-up assessment. CONCLUSIONS: Conventional GN-RFA of the superior lateral, superior medial, and inferior medial genicular nerves when performed prior to TKA did not provide clinically significant pain relief or improvement in functional status at 2 or 6 weeks postoperatively. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02947321.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Outpatient monitoring and management of patients with heart failure (HF) reduces hospitalizations and health care costs. However, the availability of noninvasive approaches to assess congestion is limited. Noninvasive venous waveform analysis (NIVA) uses a unique physiologic signal, the morphology of the venous waveform, to assess intracardiac filling pressures. This study is a proof of concept analysis of the correlation between NIVA value and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) and the ability of the NIVA value to predict PCWP > 18 mmHg in subjects undergoing elective right heart catheterization (RHC). PCWP was also compared across common clinical correlates of congestion. METHODS AND RESULTS: A prototype NIVA device, which consists of a piezoelectric sensor placed over the skin on the volar aspect of the wrist, connected to a data-capture control box, was used to collect venous waveforms in 96 patients during RHC. PCWP was collected at end-expiration by an experienced cardiologist. The venous waveform signal was transformed to the frequency domain (Fourier transform), where a ratiometric algorithm of the frequencies of the pulse rate and its harmonics was used to derive a NIVA value. NIVA values were successfully captured in 83 of 96 enrolled patients. PCWP ranged from 4-40 mmHg with a median of 13 mmHg. NIVA values demonstrated a linear correlation with PCWP (r = 0.69, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This observational proof-of-concept study using a prototype NIVA device demonstrates a moderate correlation between NIVA value and PCWP in patients undergoing RHC. NIVA, thus, represents a promising developing technology for noninvasive assessment of congestion in spontaneously breathing patients.

RESUMO

Postoperative airway complications can be a common, yet perhaps underappreciated, complication in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery. Presented here are three cases in which patients experienced postoperative airway compromise, resulting in difficulty establishing a secure airway following cervical spine operations. Establishing factors that contribute to airway complications after cervical spine surgery can aid in early identification of high-risk patients to create an appropriate airway management strategy. Ultimately, the frequency of airway difficulty after removal of the endotracheal tube in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery should not be taken lightly.
