Objective: Adverse factors of postoperative hemodynamic and myocardial performance remain largely unexplored in children with congenital heart disease following cardiopulmonary bypass due to technical limitations. Pressure recording analytical method (PRAM) is a continuous hemodynamic and myocardial performance monitoring technique based on beat-to-beat arterial pressure waveform. Using PRAM, we examined the temporal trends and adverse factors, in clinical management, of these performances.Methods: We monitored blood pressure, cardiac index, cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE), dP/dTmax, and systematic vascular resistance index in 91 children (aged 186 ± 256 days) during their first 48 h after cardiopulmonary bypass. Above parameters, inotropic and vasoactive drug dosages, and serum lactate were recorded 3-hourly. NT-proBNP was measured daily.Results: CCE and dP/dTmax gradually increased (Ps < 0.0001), while systematic vascular resistance index, diastolic blood pressure and inotrope dosages decreased (Ps < 0.0001) over time. Cardiac index, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate did not change significantly (Ps ≥ 0.231). Patients undergoing deep hypothermic circulatory arrest had significantly higher heart rate and lower CCE (Ps ≤ 0.006) over time. Multivariate analyses indicated that epinephrine dose significantly correlated with systolic blood pressure, cardiac index, CCE, and dP/dTmax after polynomial transformation, with the peak ranging from 0.075 to 0.097.Conclusions: Systemic hemodynamic and myocardial performance gradually improved in the first 48 h after cardiopulmonary bypass without the “classic” nadir at 9–12 h. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and higher epinephrine doses were adversely associated with these performances. CCE, rather than cardiac index or other common-used parameters, was the most sensitive and consistent indicator.

Ph Stat

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) merupakan alat penunjang fungsi sirkulasi dan pernapasan pasien yang biasa digunakan ketika menjalani pembedahan jantung atau pembuluh darah besar. Selama prosedur CPB, kondisi hipotermia dipertahankan untuk menurunkan kebutuhan oksigen dan laju metabolisme. Kondisi hipotermia akan mempengaruhi keseimbangan asam-basa pada tubuh. Manajemen asam-basa selama prosedur CPB dicapai dengan menggunakan metode a-stat atau pH-stat. Pada metode a-stat, manajemen asam-basa dilakukan dengan menjaga pHa 7.4 dan PaCO2 40 mmHg pada suhu 37oC tanpa penambahan CO2 oksigen untuk menjaga total CO2 tetap konstan. Sedangkan, pada metode pH-stat, diberikan CO2 oksigen untuk menjaga PaCO2 40 mmHg dan pHa 7.4 secara in vivo. Masih banyak perdebatan terkait waktu penerapan masing-masing metode. Pada level mikrosirkulasi, manajemen a-stat terbukti memberikan keuntungan pada otak dan mengurangi insidensi postoperative cerebral dysfunction. Sedangkan, metode pH-stat dilaporkan meningkatkan risiko emboli otak, sehingga tidak disarankan untuk pasien yang memiliki risiko tinggi gangguan aliran darah otak. Namun, terdapat pula laporan yang menyatakan pH-stat bermanfaat pada operasi bedah jantung anak. Berdasarkan hal itu, usia pasien dapat menentukan waktu penggunaan metode a-stat dan pH-stat. Satu indikasi primer penggunaan pH-stat adalah selama proses pendinginan saat deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), sedangkan metode a-stat lebih baik digunakan selama selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) dan rewarming.

Introduction: Isometric handgrip (IHG) training at 30% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Impacts of IHG exercise and post-exercise circulatory arrest (PECA), which isolates metaboreflex control, have been unclear in heart failure (HF). Purpose: To investigate the impacts of IHG exercise and PECA on ventricular-arterial stiffness and left ventricular (LV) relaxation in HF with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: We invasively obtained LV pressure-volume (PV) loops in 20 patients (10 HFpEF, 10 HFrEF) using conductance catheter with microtip-manometer during 3 minutes of IHG at 30%MVC and 3 minutes of PECA. Hemodynamics and LV-arterial function including LV end-systolic elastance (Ees) by the single-beat method, effective arterial elastance (Ea), and time constant of LV relaxation (Tau) were evaluated every minute. Results: At rest, HFpEF had higher LV end-systolic pressure (ESP) and lower heart rate than HFrEF with similar LV end-diastolic pressure (EDP). The coupling ratio (Ees/Ea) was greater in HFpEF than HFrEF (1.0±0.3 vs. 0.6±0.3, p<0.01). IHG for 3minutes similarly increased heart rate in HFpEF (by 10±8 bpm) and HFrEF (by 14±6 bpm). IHG also increased end-diastolic and LVESP (134±21 vs. 158±30 mmHg and 113±25 vs. 139±25 mmHg) in both groups (groupхtime effect p≥0.25). In HFpEF, Ees, Ea and Ees/Ea (1.0±0.3 vs. 1.1±0.4) were unaffected during IHG. In HFrEF, IHG induced variable increases in Ea. LV end-systolic volume and the ESPV volume-axis intercept were larger, and Ees at IHG 3 rd min was greater (1.30±0.7 vs. 3.1±2.1 mmHg/ml, p<0.01) than baseline, resulting in unchanged Ees/Ea at IHG 3 rd min (0.6±0.3 vs. 0.8±0.4, p≥0.37). Tau was prolonged only in HFrEF during IHG and was returned to the baseline value during PECA. During the first 2 minutes of PECA, LVESP was lower than that at IHG 3 rd min only in HFpEF, suggesting less metaboreflex control of blood pressure in HFpEF during IHG. Conclusions: IHG exercise at 30%MVC induced modest increases in LV end-systolic and end-diastolic pressures in HFpEF and HFrEF. Although the prolongation of LV relaxation was observed only in HFrEF, the ventricular and arterial coupling was maintained throughout the IHG exercise in both groups.

Abstract Background Myocardial energetic efficiency (MEE) per unit of left ventricular (LV) mass significantly predicts composite of cardiovascular (CV) events in treated hypertensive patients and specifically heart failure in an event-free population-based cohort with normal ejection fraction, independently of LV hypertrophy (LVH). Purpose To investigate whether MEEi changes over time in treated hypertensive patients, and whether different treatments have different effects. Methods From the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint study (LIFE Echo Sub-study) we selected 744 hypertensive patients (age 66±7 years; 45% women) with LVH at ECG, without atrial fibrillation, previous or incident myocardial infarction and with normal echocardiographic ejection fraction (>50%). MEE was estimated as the ratio of stroke work to the “double” product of heart rate times systolic blood pressure (BP), simplified as the ratio of stroke volume to heart rate, as previously reported. MEE was normalized for LVM (MEEi) and analyzed in quartiles at baseline and at the end treatment, according to an “intention-to-treat” protocol. Results Age and proportion of women were not significantly different from the highest to the lowest quartiles (from 65±7 to 66±7 years, p for trend=0.352; from 45% to 42%, p=0.946, respectively), whereas diastolic blood pressure (from 97±8 to 100±9 mmHg, p=0.006), prevalence of obesity (from 14 to 31%, p=0.001) and diabetes (from 4 to 14%, 0.004) progressively increased. Prevalence of concentric LV geometry and echocardiographic LVH also progressively increased from the highest to the lowest quartile (from 14 to 70%, and 61 to 90%, both p<0.0001). MEEi increased over time (p<0.007), independently of initial diastolic BP, diabetes and obesity, significantly more in patients treated with atenolol than with losartan (p<0.0001) (Figure), due to both increased stroke volume and decreased heart rate (both p<0.0001). Figure 1 Conclusions In a randomized clinical study, MEEi improves with anti-hypertensive therapy. Improvement is more evident in patients with atenolol than with losartan-based treatment, possibly providing pathophysiologic explanation of the comparable performance in prevention of ischemic heart disease previously reported in the LIFE study.

Objectives The aim of this study was to describe the sedative and some physiological effects of tiletamine–zolazepam following buccal administration (BA) in cats. Methods Seven healthy spayed European shorthair cats (three males, four females) were studied twice in this randomized, blinded, crossover study. Each cat received two doses of tiletamine–zolazepam by BA: the low-dose (LD) group consisted of 5 mg/kg of each drug, and the high-dose (HD) group consisted of 7.5 mg/kg of each. Baseline systolic blood pressure (SAP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and a sedation score were recorded prior to administration of each treatment. The same variables plus the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen as measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) were recorded at predefined intervals for the next 2 h. Results All cats completed the study. No retching or vomiting were observed. Hypersalivation was observed in 0/7 and 3/7 for LD and HD groups, respectively ( P = 0.2). There were significant changes in scores over time for posture, response to clippers and response to manual restraint for both groups, without differences between groups. RR, HR and SAP changed significantly over time. SAP and RR were significantly lower for the HD than for the LD group. No values for hemoglobin saturation <95% were observed. Conclusions and relevance BA of tiletamine–zolazepam at the doses studied here is a simple and effective method for chemical restraint in cats, where the LD group had a lower impact on SAP and RR than the HD group.

AbstractObjectiveSome centres have proposed creating the bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis without cardiopulmonary bypass, while others continue to use deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the results of using continuous cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia, perhaps the most commonly used of the three techniques for this procedure.MethodsBetween 1990 and 2005, 114 patients, having a mean age of 1.58 years, with a median age of 8 months, and ranging from 3 months to 16 years, underwent creation of either a unilateral cavopulmonary anastomosis, in 94 cases, or bilateral anastomoses in 20 cases. All had continuous cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia at 32 degrees Celsius, with 24 also having aortic cross-clamping with cardioplegia for simultaneous intracardiac procedures. Interrupted absorbable sutures were used to create the anastomosis in 105 patients.ResultsPerioperative mortality was 5%, with 6 of the patients dying. The mean period of cardiopulmonary bypass for an isolated anastomosis was 91 minutes, with a range from 44 to 160 minutes. In 10 patients (8.8%), it was necessary to place a graft to augment the anastomosis. The average postoperative length of stay was 7.9 days for those undergoing an isolated unilateral anastomosis, and 16.4 days for patients undergoing combined cardiac operations. We have now created the Fontan circulation in 79 of the patients, at an average interval from the bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis of 2.1 plus or minus 1.14 years. In 76 patients, we performed postoperative angiograms, and none revealed any stenoses.ConclusionsThe bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis can be performed successfully with continuous cardiopulmonary bypass and moderate hypothermia with a beating heart, avoiding circulatory arrest. The use of interrupted and absorbable sutures was not associated with any late anastomotic stenosis.

✓ Arterial hypertension that occurs after severe head injury is characterized by elevation of systolic blood pressure, tachycardia, increased cardiac output, normal or decreased peripheral vascular resistance, and increased circulating catecholamines. The effects of two drugs used in the management of hypertension, propranolol and hydralazine, on these indices of cardiovascular function were examined in six head-injured patients. Both drugs effectively normalized blood pressure. However, hydralazine increased heart rate by 30%, cardiac index by 49%, left cardiac work by 21%, and pulmonary venous admixture by 53%, and was responsible for an increase in intracranial pressure or decreased compliance in two patients. Hydralazine produced no consistent change in arterial catecholamines. In contrast, propranolol decreased heart rate by 21%, cardiac index by 26%, left cardiac work by 35%, pulmonary venous admixture by 15%, and oxygen consumption by 18%. Propranolol decreased arterial epinephrine levels by 48% and norepinephrine levels by 28%. Propranolol appears to be a useful antihypertensive drug in the hyperdynamic head-injured patient because it normalizes blood pressure and the underlying hemodynamic abnormalities both by its beta-adrenergic blocking action and by decreasing circulating levels of catecholamines.
