Thoracic surgery is among the most painful surgical procedures, even when conducted with minimally invasive approach. Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) challenges the traditional analgesic regimens as one of its aims is to decrease the patient’s length of stay (LOS) whilst achieving optimal postoperative pain management. Furthermore, there is lots of growing evidence on the impact of poorly controlled postoperative pain (PP) on the development of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP). In these case series, we aim to describe our preliminary experience of postoperative pain management with continuous ESPB in the field of RATS.Case Series Presentation: In eight consecutive patients undergoing elective RATS procedure, we performed the ESPB after surgery with an initial bolus of local anesthetic followed by catheter insertion for continuous infusion. The infusion of local anesthetic lasted for the first two postoperative days. The effectiveness of the ESPB was evaluated through serial pain assessment with numeric rate scale (NRS) score, both at rest and during movement every 6 hours. Any analgesic rescue drug prescription was reported. We noted that the ESPB strongly reduced the prescription of opioids and of rescue analgesic. In our series, only one patient needed opioids during the first two postoperative days, and no rescue analgesic administration was noted in the remaining cases.Conclusion: We report a small but promising experience regarding postoperative pain management with continuous ESPB performed after RATS. We implemented the ESPB before surgery. Larger studies on postoperative pain management with continuous regional blocks in thoracic surgery are warranted.Keywords: pain management, regional block, thoracic surgery, postoperative care

Abstract

We investigated the high energy spin excitations in electron-doped $\mathrm{La}_{2-x} \mathrm{Ce}_x \mathrm{CuO}_{4}$, a cuprate superconductor, by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements. Efforts were paid to disentangle the paramagnon signal from non-spin-flip spectral weight mixing in the RIXS spectrum at $\bf{Q_{\|}}$ = $(0.6\pi, 0)$ and $(0.9\pi, 0)$ along the (1 0) direction. Our results show that, for doping level x from 0.07 to 0.185, the variation of the paramagnon excitation energy is marginal. We discuss the implication of our results in connection with the evolution of the electron correlation strength in this system., Comment: in press on Phys. Rev. Lett

Abstract

The magnetic and structural properties of the recently discovered pnictogen/chalcogen-free superconductor LaFeSiH ($T_c\simeq10$~K) have been investigated by $^{57}$Fe synchrotron M{\"o}ssbauer source (SMS) spectroscopy, x-ray and neutron powder diffraction and $^{29}$Si nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). No sign of long range magnetic order or local moments has been detected in any of the measurements and LaFeSiH remains tetragonal down to 2 K. The activated temperature dependence of both the NMR Knight shift and the relaxation rate $1/T_1$ is analogous to that observed in strongly overdoped Fe-based superconductors. These results, together with the temperature-independent NMR linewidth, show that LaFeSiH is an homogeneous metal, far from any magnetic or nematic instability, and with similar Fermi surface properties as strongly overdoped iron pnictides. This raises the prospect of enhancing the $T_c$ of LaFeSiH by reducing its carrier concentration through appropriate chemical substitutions. Additional SMS spectroscopy measurements under hydrostatic pressure up to 18.8~GPa found no measurable hyperfine field.

Abstract

Purpose: The use of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) as a target intervention to manage elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and its effect on clinical outcomes remain unclear. We aimed to describe targets for PaCO2 in acute brain injured (ABI) patients and assess the occurrence of abnormal PaCO2 values during the first week in the intensive care unit (ICU). The secondary aim was to assess the association of PaCO2 with in-hospital mortality. Methods: We carried out a secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study involving adult invasively ventilated patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), or ischemic stroke (IS). PaCO2 was collected on day 1, 3, and 7 from ICU admission. Normocapnia was defined as PaCO2 > 35 and to 45 mmHg; mild hypocapnia as 32–35 mmHg; severe hypocapnia as 26–31 mmHg, forced hypocapnia as < 26 mmHg, and hypercapnia as > 45 mmHg. Results: 1476 patients (65.9% male, mean age 52 ± 18 years) were included. On ICU admission, 804 (54.5%) patients were normocapnic (incidence 1.37 episodes per person/day during ICU stay), and 125 (8.5%) and 334 (22.6%) were mild or severe hypocapnic (0.52 and 0.25 episodes/day). Forced hypocapnia and hypercapnia were used in 40 (2.7%) and 173 (11.7%) patients. PaCO2 had a U-shape relationship with in-hospital mortality with only severe hypocapnia and hypercapnia being associated with increased probability of in-hospital mortality (omnibus p value = 0.0009). Important differences were observed across different subgroups of ABI patients. Conclusions: Normocapnia and mild hypocapnia are common in ABI patients and do not affect patients' outcome. Extreme derangements of PaCO2 values were significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality.

Abstract

Background: There is insufficient evidence to guide ventilatory targets in acute brain injury (ABI). Recent studies have shown associations between mechanical power (MP) and mortality in critical care populations. We aimed to describe MP in ventilated patients with ABI, and evaluate associations between MP and clinical outcomes. Methods: In this preplanned, secondary analysis of a prospective, multi-center, observational cohort study (ENIO, NCT03400904), we included adult patients with ABI (Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 12 before intubation) who required mechanical ventilation (MV) ≥ 24 h. Using multivariable log binomial regressions, we separately assessed associations between MP on hospital day (HD)1, HD3, HD7 and clinical outcomes: hospital mortality, need for reintubation, tracheostomy placement, and development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Results: We included 1217 patients (mean age 51.2 years [SD 18.1], 66% male, mean body mass index [BMI] 26.3 [SD 5.18]) hospitalized at 62 intensive care units in 18 countries. Hospital mortality was 11% (n = 139), 44% (n = 536) were extubated by HD7 of which 20% (107/536) required reintubation, 28% (n = 340) underwent tracheostomy placement, and 9% (n = 114) developed ARDS. The median MP on HD1, HD3, and HD7 was 11.9 J/min [IQR 9.2–15.1], 13 J/min [IQR 10–17], and 14 J/min [IQR 11–20], respectively. MP was overall higher in patients with ARDS, especially those with higher ARDS severity. After controlling for same-day pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (P/F ratio), BMI, and neurological severity, MP at HD1, HD3, and HD7 was independently associated with hospital mortality, reintubation and tracheostomy placement. The adjusted relative risk (aRR) was greater at higher MP, and strongest for: mortality on HD1 (compared to the HD1 median MP 11.9 J/min, aRR at 17 J/min was 1.22, 95% CI 1.14–1.30) and HD3 (1.38, 95% CI 1.23–1.53), reintubation on HD1 (1.64; 95% CI 1.57–1.72), and tracheostomy on HD7 (1

Abstract

Background: In acute brain injury (ABI), the effects of hypoxemia as a potential cause of secondary brain damage and poor outcome are well documented, whereas the impact of hyperoxemia is unclear. The primary aim of this study was to assess the episodes of hypoxemia and hyperoxemia in patients with ABI during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay and to determine their association with in-hospital mortality. The secondary aim was to identify the optimal thresholds of arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) predicting in-hospital mortality. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective multicenter observational cohort study. Adult patients with ABI (traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid aneurysmal hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage, ischemic stroke) with available data on PaO2 during the ICU stay were included. Hypoxemia was defined as PaO2 < 80 mm Hg, normoxemia was defined as PaO2 between 80 and 120 mm Hg, mild/moderate hyperoxemia was defined as PaO2 between 121 and 299 mm Hg, and severe hyperoxemia was defined as PaO2 levels ≥ 300 mm Hg. Results: A total of 1,407 patients were included in this study. The mean age was 52 (±18) years, and 929 (66%) were male. Over the ICU stay, the fractions of patients in the study cohort who had at least one episode of hypoxemia, mild/moderate hyperoxemia, and severe hyperoxemia were 31.3%, 53.0%, and 1.7%, respectively. PaO2 values below 92 mm Hg and above 156 mm Hg were associated with an increased probability of in-hospital mortality. Differences were observed among subgroups of patients with ABI, with consistent effects only seen in patients without traumatic brain injury. Conclusions: In patients with ABI, hypoxemia and mild/moderate hyperoxemia were relatively frequent. Hypoxemia and hyperoxemia during ICU stay may influence in-hospital mortality. However, the small number of oxygen values collected represents a major limitation of the study.

Abstract

Purpose: Neurocritical care patients receive prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), but there is poor specific information in this high-risk population about the liberation strategies of invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods: ENIO (NCT03400904) is an international, prospective observational study, in 73 intensive care units (ICUs) in 18 countries from 2018 to 2020. Neurocritical care patients with a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) ≤ 12, receiving IMV ≥ 24 h, undergoing extubation attempt or tracheostomy were included. The primary endpoint was extubation failure by day 5. An extubation success prediction score was created, with 2/3 of patients randomly allocated to the training cohort and 1/3 to the validation cohort. Secondary endpoints were the duration of IMV and in-ICU mortality. Results: 1512 patients were included. Among the 1193 (78.9%) patients who underwent an extubation attempt, 231 (19.4%) failures were recorded. The score for successful extubation prediction retained 20 variables as independent predictors. The area under the curve (AUC) in the training cohort was 0.79 95% confidence interval (CI95) [0.71–0.87] and 0.71 CI95 [0.61–0.81] in the validation cohort. Patients with extubation failure displayed a longer IMV duration (14 [7–21] vs 6 [3–11] days) and a higher in-ICU mortality rate (8.7% vs 2.4%). Three hundred and nineteen (21.1%) patients underwent tracheostomy without extubation attempt. Patients with direct tracheostomy displayed a longer duration of IMV and higher in-ICU mortality than patients with an extubation attempt (success and failure). Conclusions: In neurocritical care patients, extubation failure is high and is associated with unfavourable outcomes. A score could predict extubation success in multiple settings. However, it will be mandatory to validate our findings in another prospective independent cohort.

Abstract

Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in the pediatric setting is a complex skill and performing ETI during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation is even more challenging. Simulation studies have investigated the performances of several devices for ETI. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the performances of devices for ETI during simulated pediatric on-going chest compressions. Devices were divided in four groups: direct laryngoscopy (DL) with Macintosh or Miller blade, or video-laryngoscopy with screen-on-device (VLS-SoD) or with distant monitor (VLS-DM). Primary outcomes were overall success rate (SR) and time-to-intubation (TTI). Results are expressed as Risk Ratio (RR) or Mean Difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval. We included 12 studies comparing at least two devices. The SR was greater for VLS as compared to DL-Miller (RR: 0.83 (0.78; 0.89), p < 0.00001) or DL-Macintosh (RR: 0.81 (0.77; 0.85), p < 0.00001). Subgroup analyses confirmed that both types of VLS were superior to DL-Miller (VLS-DM: p = 0.03; VLS-SoD: p < 0.00001) or DL-Macintosh (both VLSs: p < 0.00001). As compared with VLS, TTI was longer with both DL blades: Miller (MD: 8.26 seconds (5.30; 11.21), p < 0.00001) or Macintosh blade (MD: 7.63 seconds (4.14; 11.12), p < 0.00001). In the subgroup analyses, VLS-SoD was superior to DL-Miller or DL-Macintosh (both p < 0.00001), while VLS-DM was superior to DL-Macintosh (p < 0.00001), possibly not to DL-Miller (p = 0.06). Under simulated conditions of ongoing pediatric resuscitation, use of VLS guarantees higher overall SR and shorter TTI as compared to DL performed with Miller or Macintosh blade. Among VLSs, those with screen-on-device may have better performances that those with distant monitor.

Abstract

Introduction Modified fluid gelatin 4% is approved for use in children, but there is still a surprising lack of clinical studies including large numbers of pediatric patients. Therefore, we performed a European prospective noninterventional multicenter study to evaluate the use of a modified fluid gelatin 4% in saline (sal-GEL) or an acetate-containing balanced electrolyte solution (bal-GEL) in children undergoing major pediatric surgery. Aims The primary aim was to assess the indications and dosing of modified fluid gelatin, and the secondary aim was to assess the safety and efficacy, focusing, in particular, on routinely collected clinical parameters. Methods Children aged up to 12 years with ASA risk scores of I-III receiving sal-GEL or bal-GEL were followed perioperatively. Demographic data, surgical procedures performed, anesthesia, hemodynamic and laboratory data, adverse events, and adverse drug reactions were documented using a standardized case report form. Results 601 children that were investigated at 13 European pediatric centers from May 2015 to March 2020 (sal-GEL 20.1%, bal-GEL 79.9%; mean age 29.1 +/- 38.6 (range 0-144) months; body weight 12.1 +/- 10.5 (1.4-70) kg) were included in the analysis. The most frequent indications for GEL infusion were hemodynamic instability without bleeding (76.0%), crystalloids alone not being sufficient for hemodynamic stabilization (55.7%), replacement of preoperative deficit (26.0%), and significant bleeding (13.0%). Mean infused GEL volume was 13.0 +/- 5.3 (2.4-37.5) ml kg(-1). The total dose was affected by age, with higher doses in younger patients. After gelatin infusion, mean arterial pressure increased (mean change 8.5 +/- 7.3 [95% CI: 8 to 9.1] mmHg), and the hemoglobin concentrations decreased significantly (mean change -1.1 +/- 1.8 [95% CI: -1.2 to -0.9] g center dot dL(-1)). Acid-base parameters were more stable with bal-GEL. No serious adverse drug reactions directly related to gelatin (i.e., anaphylactoid reaction, clotting disorders, and renal failure) were observed. Conclusion Moderate doses up to 20 ml kg(-1) of modified fluid gelatin were infused most frequently to improve hemodynamic stability in children undergoing major pediatric surgery. The acid-base balance was more stable when gelatin in a balanced electrolyte solution was used instead of saline. No serious adverse drug reactions associated with gelatin were observed.

Abstract

BACKGROUND In 2019 the SIAARTI developed a seven-days course for residents, focused on critical emergency medicine (CREM) in a hostile environment, that grounds on simulation-based education and training with hands-on simulation, high-fidelity simulators and part-task trainers. This project aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this course in comparison to traditional learning programs in term of technical (TS) and non-technical (NTS) skills. We assessed the improvement in TS and NTS over time, and the ability to involve trainees in corporate activities. METHODS Three-hundred and twenty-seven trainees completed the study. Trainees were allocated into three groups: those who joined the SIAARTI-Academy-CREM course and received a study kit (SA-kit, N.=124), those who received only a study kit (kit, N.=108), and control (N.=95). Eighty-five tests were administered to investigate skills at three timepoints: T0 (baseline), T1 (post-training/kit), and T2 (four months later). RESULTS TS differed among groups (P

Abstract

Background: There is insufficient evidence to guide ventilatory targets in acute brain injury (ABI). Recent studies have shown associations between mechanical power (MP) and mortality in critical care populations. We aimed to describe MP in ventilated patients with ABI, and evaluate associations between MP and clinical outcomes. Methods: In this preplanned, secondary analysis of a prospective, multi-center, observational cohort study (ENIO, NCT03400904), we included adult patients with ABI (Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 12 before intubation) who required mechanical ventilation (MV) ≥ 24h. Using multivariable log binomial regressions, we separately assessed associations between MP on hospital day (HD)1, HD3, HD7 and clinical outcomes: hospital mortality, need for reintubation, tracheostomy placement, and development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Results: We included 1217 patients (mean age 51.2years [SD 18.1], 66% male, mean body mass index [BMI] 26.3 [SD 5.18]) hospitalized at 62 intensive care units in 18 countries. Hospital mortality was 11% (n = 139), 44% (n = 536) were extubated by HD7 of which 20% (107/536) required reintubation, 28% (n = 340) underwent tracheostomy placement, and 9% (n = 114) developed ARDS. The median MP on HD1, HD3, and HD7 was 11.9J/min [IQR 9.2-15.1], 13J/min [IQR 10-17], and 14J/min [IQR 11-20], respectively. MP was overall higher in patients with ARDS, especially those with higher ARDS severity. After controlling for same-day pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (P/F ratio), BMI, and neurological severity, MP at HD1, HD3, and HD7 was independently associated with hospital mortality, reintubation and tracheostomy placement. The adjusted relative risk (aRR) was greater at higher MP, and strongest for: mortality on HD1 (compared to the HD1 median MP 11.9J/min, aRR at 17J/min was 1.22, 95% CI 1.14-1.30) and HD3 (1.38, 95% CI 1.23-1.53), reintubation on HD1 (1.64; 95% CI 1.57-1.72), and tracheostomy on HD7 (1.53; 95%CI 1.18-1.99). MP was associated with the development of moderate-severe ARDS on HD1 (2.07; 95% CI 1.56-2.78) and HD3 (1.76; 95% CI 1.41-2.22). Conclusions: Exposure to high MP during the first week of MV is associated with poor clinical outcomes in ABI, independent of P/F ratio and neurological severity. Potential benefits of optimizing ventilator settings to limit MP warrant further investigation.

Abstract

Purpose: Neurocritical care patients receive prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), but there is poor specific information in this high-risk population about the liberation strategies of invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods: ENIO (NCT03400904) is an international, prospective observational study, in 73 intensive care units (ICUs) in 18 countries from 2018 to 2020. Neurocritical care patients with a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) ≤ 12, receiving IMV ≥ 24h, undergoing extubation attempt or tracheostomy were included. The primary endpoint was extubation failure by day 5. An extubation success prediction score was created, with 2/3 of patients randomly allocated to the training cohort and 1/3 to the validation cohort. Secondary endpoints were the duration of IMV and in-ICU mortality. Results: 1512 patients were included. Among the 1193 (78.9%) patients who underwent an extubation attempt, 231 (19.4%) failures were recorded. The score for successful extubation prediction retained 20 variables as independent predictors. The area under the curve (AUC) in the training cohort was 0.79 95% confidence interval (CI95) [0.71–0.87] and 0.71 CI95 [0.61–0.81] in the validation cohort. Patients with extubation failure displayed a longer IMV duration (14 [7–21] vs 6 [3–11] days) and a higher in-ICU mortality rate (8.7% vs 2.4%). Three hundred and nineteen (21.1%) patients underwent tracheostomy without extubation attempt. Patients with direct tracheostomy displayed a longer duration of IMV and higher in-ICU mortality than patients with an extubation attempt (success and failure). Conclusions: In neurocritical care patients, extubation failure is high and is associated with unfavourable outcomes. A score could predict extubation success in multiple settings. However, it will be mandatory to validate our findings in another prospective independent cohort.

Abstract

Background: Italy presently does not have a pediatric organ donation program after cardiocirculatory determination of death (pDCDD). Before implementing a pDCDD program, many centers globally have conducted studies on the attitudes of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) staff. This research aims to minimize potential adverse reactions and evaluate the acceptance of the novel donation practice., Methods: We conducted an electronic and anonymous survey on attitudes toward pDCDD among healthcare professionals (HCPs) working at eight Italian PICUs. The survey had three parts: (I) questions about general demographic data; (II) 18 statements about personal wishes to donate, experience of discussing donation, and knowledge about donation; (III) attitudinal statements regarding two pediatric Maastricht III scenarios of organ donation., Results: The response rate was 54.4%, and the majority of respondents were nurses. Of those who responded, 45.3% worked in the Center, 40.8% in the North, and 12.8% in the South of Italy. In total, 93.9% supported pediatric organ and tissue donation, 90.3% supported donation after neurological determination of death (DNDD), 78.2% supported pDCDD, and 69.7% felt comfortable about the idea of participating in pDCDD on Type III patients, with a higher percentage of supportive responses in the Center (77.2%) than in the North (65.1%) and South (54.5%) of Italy (p-value < 0.004). Concerning scenarios, 79.3% of participants believed that organ retrieval took place in a patient who was already deceased. Overall, 27.3% considered their knowledge about DCDD to be adequate., Conclusions: Our study provides insight into the attitudes and knowledge of PICU staff members regarding pDCDD in Italy. Despite a general lack of knowledge on the subject, respondents showed positive attitudes toward pDCDD and a strong consensus that the Italian legislation protocol for determining death based on cardiocirculatory criteria respects the "dead donor rule." There were several distinctions among the northern, central, and southern regions of Italy, and in our view, these disparities can be attributed to the varying practices of commemorating the deceased. In order to assess how practice and training influence the attitude of PICU staff members, it would be interesting to repeat the survey after the implementation of a program., (© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

Abstract

Background: Pregnant women with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) often display respiratory muscle impairment which increases the risk for pulmonary complications (PCs). The aim of this study was to identify pregnant NMDs patients with pulmonary risk factors and to apply in these women non-invasive ventilation (NIV) combined with mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) in the peri-partum period., Methods: We conducted a multicenter observational study on women with NMDs undergoing cesarean section or spontaneous labor in a network of 7 national hospitals. In these subjects we applied a protocol for screening and preventing PCs, and we evaluated PCs rate, maternal and neonatal outcome., Results: Twenty-four patients out of the 94 enrolled pregnant women were at risk for PCs and were trained or retrained to use NIV and/or MI-E before delivery. After delivery, 17 patients required NIV with or without MI-E. Despite nine out of the 24 women at pulmonary risk developed postpartum PCs, none of them needed reintubation nor tracheostomy. In addition, the average birth weight and Apgar score were normal. Only one patient without pulmonary risk factors developed postpartum PCs., Conclusion: This study showed the feasibility of applying a protocol for screening and treating pregnant NMDs women with pulmonary risk. Despite a PCs rate of 37% was observed in these patients, maternal and neonatal outcome were favorable., (© 2023. BioMed Central Ltd., part of Springer Nature.)

Abstract

Background: Pediatric patients affected by oncologic disease have a significant risk of clinical deterioration that requires admission to the intensive care unit. This study reported the results of a national survey describing the characteristics of Italian onco-hematological units (OHUs) and pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) that admit pediatric patients, focusing on the high-complexity treatments available before PICU admission, and evaluating the approach to the end-of-life (EOL) when cared in a PICU setting., Methods: A web-based electronic survey has been performed in April 2021, involving all Italian PICUs admitting pediatric patients with cancer participating in the study., Results: Eighteen PICUs participated, with a median number of admissions per year of 350 (IQR 248-495). Availability of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation therapy and the presence of intermediate care unit are the only statistically different characteristics between large or small PICUs. Different high-level treatments and protocols are performed in OHUs, non depending on the volume of PICU. Palliative sedation is mainly performed in the OHUs (78%), however, in 72% it is also performed in the PICU. In most centers protocols that address EOL comfort care and treatment algorithms are missing, non depending on PICU or OHU volume., Conclusions: A non-homogeneous availability of high-level treatments and in OHUs is described. Moreover, protocols addressing EOL comfort care and treatment algorithms in palliative care are lacking in many centers.

Abstract

Introduction: Elective cesarean section (CS) is usually performed using spinal anesthesia (SA), which requires the use of local anesthetic (LA) agents, commonly combined with adjuvant drugs. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at studying the advantages of α-2 agonists as compared to fentanyl during SA for CS., Evidence Acquisition: We screened PubMed and EMBASE for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We calculated the mean difference (MD) for continuous outcomes, and the relative risk for dichotomous outcomes, using a random-effect model with 95% confidence interval (CI). We performed a Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) assuming an alpha risk of 5%. The primary outcome was the time to first rescue analgesia., Evidence Synthesis: Eight RCTs were included. Time to first rescue analgesia was significantly longer when the α-2 agonists were used (MD 85.9 min [95% CI: 23.8, 147.9]; P=0.007). Duration of sensory block was also longer in the α-2 group (MD 40.5 [95% CI: 20.21,60.7]; P<0.0001), while no differences were found for onset of sensory block and onset and duration of motor block. Rates of shivering and nausea or vomiting were significantly lower in the α-2 agonist group, while risk of hypotension or respiratory depression were not different. The TSA on the primary outcome suggests the need of further research before drawing conclusions., Conclusions: α2-agonists seem to increase the time to first rescue analgesia and to prolong the duration of sensory block when used as adjuvants to LA in CS patients compared to fentanyl. Also, α2-agonists may reduce the incidence of shivering and nausea or vomiting.

Abstract

Purpose: Assessment of the inferior vena cava (IVC) respiratory variation may be clinically useful for the estimation of fluid-responsiveness and venous congestion; however, imaging from subcostal (SC, sagittal) region is not always feasible. It is unclear if coronal trans-hepatic (TH) IVC imaging provides interchangeable results. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) with automated border tracking may be helpful as part of point-of-care ultrasound but it needs validation., Methods: Prospective observational study conducted in spontaneously breathing healthy volunteers with assessment of IVC collapsibility (IVCc) in SC and TH imaging, with measures taken in M-mode or with AI software. We calculated mean bias and limits of agreement (LoA), and the intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficient with their 95% confidence intervals., Results: Sixty volunteers were included; IVC was not visualized in five of them (n = 2, both SC and TH windows, 3.3%; n = 3 in TH approach, 5%). Compared with M-mode, AI showed good accuracy both for SC (IVCc: bias - 0.7%, LoA [- 24.9; 23.6]) and TH approach (IVCc: bias 3.7%, LoA [- 14.9; 22.3]). The ICC coefficients showed moderate reliability: 0.57 [0.36; 0.73] in SC, and 0.72 [0.55; 0.83] in TH. Comparing anatomical sites (SC vs TH), results produced by M-mode were not interchangeable (IVCc: bias 13.9%, LoA [- 18.1; 45.8]). When this evaluation was performed with AI, such difference became smaller: IVCc bias 7.7%, LoA [- 19.2; 34.6]. The correlation between SC and TH assessments was poor for M-mode (ICC = 0.08 [- 0.18; 0.34]) while moderate for AI (ICC = 0.69 [0.52; 0.81])., Conclusions: The use of AI shows good accuracy when compared with the traditional M-mode IVC assessment, both for SC and TH imaging. Although AI reduces differences between sagittal and coronal IVC measurements, results from these sites are not interchangeable., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

Abstract

Background: Capillary Refill Time (CRT) is a marker of peripheral perfusion usually performed at fingertip; however, its evaluation at other sites/position may be advantageous. Moreover, arm position during CRT assessment has not been fully standardized., Methods: We performed a pilot prospective observational study in 82 healthy volunteers. CRT was assessed: a) in standard position with participants in semi-recumbent position; b) at 30° forearm elevation, c and d) at earlobe site in semi-recumbent and supine position. Bland-Altman analysis was performed to calculate bias and limits of agreement (LoA). Correlation was investigated with Pearson test., Results: Standard finger CRT values (1.04 s [0.80;1.39]) were similar to the earlobe semi-recumbent ones (1.10 s [0.90;1.26]; p = 0.52), with Bias 0.02 ± 0.18 s (LoA -0.33;0.37); correlation was weak but significant (r = 0.28 [0.7;0.47]; p = 0.01). Conversely, standard finger CRT was significantly longer than earlobe supine CRT (0.88 s [0.75;1.06]; p < 0.001) with Bias 0.22 ± 0.4 s (LoA -0.56;1.0), and no correlation (r = 0,12 [-0,09;0,33]; p = 0.27]. As compared with standard finger CRT, measurement with 30° forearm elevation was significantly longer (1.17 s [0.93;1.41] p = 0.03), with Bias -0.07 ± 0.3 s (LoA -0.61;0.47) and with a significant correlation of moderate degree (r = 0.67 [0.53;0.77]; p < 0.001)., Conclusions: In healthy volunteers, the elevation of the forearm significantly prolongs CRT values. CRT measured at the earlobe in semi-recumbent position may represent a valid surrogate when access to the finger is not feasible, whilst earlobe CRT measured in supine position yields different results. Research is needed in critically ill patients to evaluate accuracy and precision at different sites/positions., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

Abstract

Background and Objectives: The induction of pneumoperitoneum (PP) during laparoscopy may cause hemodynamic alterations, especially in patients with unknown cardiovascular diseases. While invasive arterial monitoring could be considered excessive, continuous noninvasive arterial pressure (CNAP) monitoring may allow careful evaluation of hemodynamic variations during laparoscopy., Materials and Methods: The objective of this single center observational study was to evaluate hemodynamic changes after insufflation and after deflation of PP with CNAP monitoring. Patients included where adults undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification II and III). The Hemodynamic data (blood-pressure, cardiac-index, heart-rate, stroke-volume index, stoke-volume variation and arterialelastance) were collected 30 seconds before pneumoperitoneum (t1), and compared to values at 2 (t2), 10 (t3) and 20 (t4) minutes after pneumoperitoneum insufflation. We also compared data 30 seconds before and 2 minutes after release of pneumoperitoneum., Results: 65 patients were included. Compared with reference values at t1, blood-pressure values increased at all timepoints (t2-t3-t4); cardiac-index augmented at t3 and t4 (p<0.05); heart-rate increased at t3 (p<0.005); stroke-volume index decreased at t2 (p<0.005) and was higher at t4 (p<0.005). While stoke-volume variation remained always stable after pneumoperitoneum induction, arterial-elastance increased significantly at all time-points (t2-t3-t4). The only difference at pneumoperitoneum deflation was a reduction in stoke-volume variation (p<0.05)., Conclusions: In patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy, CNAP monitoring showed significant hemodynamic changes that would have been underappreciated with standard non-invasive monitoring with increase in arterial elastance under stable preload conditions. Whether this effect is due to unknown cardiovascular diseases facilitating ventriculo-arterial decoupling remains to be determined., Key Words: Arterial Elastance, Cardiac Outp, Pneumoperitoneum, Stroke Volume, Stroke Volume Variation.

Abstract

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) represents an advanced option for supporting refractory respiratory and/or cardiac failure. Systemic anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin (UFH) is routinely used. However, patients with bleeding risk and/or heparin-related side effects may necessitate alternative strategies: among these, nafamostat mesilate (NM) has been reported., Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search (PubMed and EMBASE, updated 12/08/2021), including all studies reporting NM anticoagulation for ECMO. We focused on reasons for starting NM, its dose and the anticoagulation monitoring approach, the incidence of bleeding/thrombosis complications, the NM-related side effects, ECMO weaning, and mortality., Results: The search revealed 11 relevant findings, all with retrospective design. Of these, three large studies reported a control group receiving UFH, the other were case series (n = 3) or case reports (n = 5). The main reason reported for NM use was an ongoing or high risk of bleeding. The NM dose varied largely as did the anticoagulation monitoring approach. The average NM dose ranged from 0.46 to 0.67 mg/kg/h, but two groups of authors reported larger doses when monitoring anticoagulation with ACT. Conflicting findings were found on bleeding and thrombosis. The only NM-related side effect was hyperkalemia (n = 2 studies) with an incidence of 15%-18% in patients anticoagulated with NM. Weaning and survival varied across studies., Conclusion: Anticoagulation with NM in ECMO has not been prospectively studied. While several centers have experience with this approach in high-risk patients, prospective studies are warranted to establish the optimal space of this approach in ECMO., (© 2022 International Center for Artificial Organ and Transplantation (ICAOT) and Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

Abstract

Purpose: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is associated with poor outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU). Nonetheless, precise reporting of LVDD in COVID-19 patients is currently lacking and assessment could be challenging., Methods: We performed an echocardiography study in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU with the aim to describe the feasibility of full or simplified LVDD assessment and its incidence. We also evaluated the association of LVDD or of single echocardiographic parameters with hospital mortality., Results: Between 06.10.2020 and 18.02.2021, full diastolic assessment was feasible in 74% (n = 26/35) of patients receiving a full echocardiogram study. LVDD incidence was 46% (n = 12/26), while the simplified assessment produced different results (incidence 81%, n = 21/26). Nine patients with normal function on full assessment had LVDD with simplified criteria (grade I = 2; grade II = 3; grade III = 4). Nine patients were hospital-survivors (39%); the incidence of LVDD (full assessment) was not different between survivors (n = 2/9, 22%) and non-survivors (n = 10/17, 59%; p = .11). The E/e' ratio lateral was lower in survivors (7.4 [3.6] vs. non-survivors 10.5 [6.3], p = .03). We also found that s' wave was higher in survivors (average, p = .01)., Conclusion: In a small single-center study, assessment of LVDD according to the latest guidelines was feasible in three quarters of COVID-19 patients. Non-survivors showed a trend toward greater LVDD incidence; moreover, they had significantly worse s' values (all) and higher E/e' ratio (lateral)., (© 2022 The Authors.

Abstract

Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is a commonly encountered condition and its impact on the anesthesia and the intensive care population is often underestimated. The study of the diastole is known as "diastology" and comprises four phases: isovolumetric relaxation, early filling phase, diastasis, and late filling phase. Diastolic function needs at least the same attention as systolic function, since its alteration has been associated with worse prognosis. Notwithstanding, many physicians consider the assessment of diastolic function too much complex. In this context, the latest 2016 guideline have simplified the assessment of diastolic function. In this educational review, we approach diastolic dysfunction with didactic purposes. First, we use a metaphor to consider the LV as a glass that progressively changes its shape and height along the disease course, resembling variable end-diastolic pressures and volumes at different stages while progressing with diastolic dysfunction. We guide readers in the process of diagnosis and grading of LV diastolic dysfunction, with description of pathophysiological changes in LV relaxation and consequently in the pressure gradient between the left-sided heart chambers. In the second part, starting from physiology we move towards suggestions for the clinical management of anesthesia and intensive care patients with diastolic dysfunction under different scenarios (hypo- and hypervolemia, weaning, sepsis, tachycardia and arrhythmias, right ventricular dysfunction).

Abstract

Purpose: Assessment of fluid-responsiveness is a key aspect of daily management in critically ill patients. Non-invasive evaluation of the variation of inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter during ventilation may provide useful information. However, a standard sagittal IVC visualization from the subcostal (SC) region is not always feasible. An alternative method to visualize the IVC is a coronal trans-hepatic (TH) approach., Materials and Methods: We performed a systematic search to explore the interchangeability of IVC evaluation with SC and TH views. We searched Medline and EMBASE to identify prospective studies. We did not consider the relationship between axial and sagittal visualization of the IVC., Results: We included seven studies reporting data on IVC evaluation with both SC and TH IVC views. Four studies were conducted on spontaneously breathing patients/volunteers, two on fully mechanically ventilated patients, and one in a mixed population, with large heterogeneity regarding the analyses reported. Limits of agreement between SC and TH were large. Concordance of the IVC collapsibility/distensibility indices are not interchangeable between SC and TH view. Correlation between diameters measured with SC and TH approach and intra/inter-observer correlation produced variable results., Conclusions: An overview of the included studies suggests that longitudinal TH and SC assessment of IVC size and respiratory variation are not interchangeable. New studies with accurate data reporting and appropriate statistical analysis are needed to define proper cut-offs for fluid responsiveness when using TH approach for IVC visualization., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest None., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

Purpose: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease with a wide range of symptoms. Severe asthma exacerbations (SAEs) are characterized by worsening symptoms and bronchospasm requiring emergency department visits. In addition to conventional strategies for SAEs (inhaled β-agonists, anticholinergics, and systemic corticosteroids), another pharmacological option is represented by ketamine. We performed a systematic review to explore the role of ketamine in refractory SAEs., Methods: We performed a systematic search on PubMed and EMBASE up to August 12th, 2021. We selected prospective studies only, and outcomes of interest were oxygenation/respiratory parameters, clinical status, need for invasive ventilation and effects on weaning., Results: We included a total of seven studies, five being randomized controlled trials (RCTs, population range 44-92 patients). The two small prospective studies (n = 10 and n = 11) did not have a control group. Four studies focused on adults, and three enrolled a pediatric population. We found a large heterogeneity regarding sample size, age and gender distribution, inclusion criteria (different severity scores, if any) and ketamine dosing (bolus and/or continuous infusion). Of the five RCTs, three compared ketamine to placebo, while one used fentanyl and the other aminophylline. The outcomes evaluated by the included studies were highly variable. Despite paucity of data and large heterogeneity, an overview of the included studies suggests absence of clear benefit produced by ketamine in patients with refractory SAE, and some signals towards side effects., Conclusion: Our systematic review does not support the use of ketamine in refractory SAE. A limited number of prospective studies with large heterogeneity was found. Well-designed multicenter RCTs are desirable., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

Abstract

Background: Recognition of postoperative infection after cardiac surgery is challenging. Biomarkers may be very useful to recognize infection at early stage, but the literature is controversial., Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at two large University Hospitals, including adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery (excluding those with preoperative infections, cirrhotic or immunocompromised). We evaluated the kinetics of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and White Cell Count (WCC) during the first postoperative week. Primary outcomes were CRP and WCC changes according to the development of postoperative infection. In order to evaluate the influence of cardiopulmonary bypass on biomarker kinetics, we also studied CRP and WCC changes in patients without postoperative infection and undergoing on- vs off-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting., Results: Among 429 included, 45 patients (10.5%) had evidence of postoperative infection. Patients with postoperative infection had higher CRP and WCC values than those without infection, with between-groups difference becoming significant from postoperative day 2 for CRP (120.6 ± 3.6 vs. 134.6 ± 7.9, P &lt; 0.01), and from postoperative day 3 for WCC (10.5 ± 0.5 vs. 9.9 ± 0.2, P = 0.02). Over the postoperative period, CRP and WCC showed significant within-group changes regardless of development of postoperative infection (P &lt; 0.001 for both). We found no differences in CRP and WCC kinetics between patients undergoing on- vs off-pump procedure., Conclusions: During the first week after cardiac surgery, CRP increases one day earlier than WCC in patients developing postoperative infections, with such difference becoming significant on the second postoperative day. In not infected patients, use of cardiopulmonary bypass does not influence CRP and WCC kinetics.

Abstract

Introduction: Hyperoxemia during cardiac arrest (CA) may increase chances of successful resuscitation. However, episodes of severe hyperoxemia after intensive care unit admission occurs frequently (up to 60%), and these have been associated with higher mortality in CA patients. The impact of severe hyperoxemia on neurological outcome is more unclear., Evidence Acquisition: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on Pubmed and EMBASE to evaluate the effects of severe hyperoxemia according to arterial blood gas analysis on neurological outcome and mortality in patients resuscitated from CA and admitted to intensive care unit., Evidence Synthesis: Thirteen observational studies were included, eight of them reporting data on neurological outcome and ten on mortality. Most studies reported odds ratio adjusted for confounders. Severe hyperoxemia was associated with worse neurological outcome (OR 1.37 [95%CI 1.01,1.86], P=0.04) and higher mortality at longest follow-up (OR 1.32 [95%CI 1.11,1.57], P=0.002). Subgroup analyses according to timing of hyperoxemia showed that any hyperoxemia during the first 36 hours was associated with worse neurological outcome (OR 1.52 [95%CI 1.12,2.08], P=0.008) and higher mortality (OR 1.40 [95%CI 1.18,1.66], P=0.0001), whilst early hyperoxemia was not (neurological: P=0.29; mortality: P=0.19). Sensitivity analyses mostly confirmed the results of the primary analyses., Conclusions: Severe hyperoxemia is associated with worse neurological outcome and lower survival in CA survivors admitted to intensive care unit. Clinical efforts should be made to avoid severe hyperoxemia during at least the first 36 hours after cardiac arrest.

Abstract

Cerebrovascular ischemia is a common clinical disease encompassing a series of complex pathophysiological processes in which oxidative stress plays a major role. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of Dexmedetomidine, Clonidine, and Propofol in a model of hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Microglial cells were exposed to 1%hypoxia for 3 h and reoxygenated for 3 h, and oxidative stress was measured by ROS formation and the expression of inflammatory process genes. Mitochondrial dysfunction was assessed by membrane potential maintenance and the levels of various metabolites involved in energetic metabolism. The results showed that Propofol and α2-agonists attenuate the formation of ROS during hypoxia and after reoxygenation. Furthermore, the α2-agonists treatment restored membrane potential to values comparable to the normoxic control and were both more effective than Propofol. At the same time, Propofol, but not α2-agonists, reduces proliferation (Untreated Hypoxia = 1.16 ± 0.2, Untreated 3 h Reoxygenation = 1.28 ± 0.01 vs. Propofol hypoxia = 1.01 ± 0.01 vs. Propofol 3 h Reoxygenation = 1.12 ± 0.03) and microglial migration. Interestingly, all of the treatments reduced inflammatory gene and protein expressions and restored energy metabolism following hypoxia/reoxygenation (ATP content in hypoxia/reoxygenation 3 h: Untreated = 3.11 ± 0.8 vs. Propofol = 7.03 ± 0.4 vs. Dexmedetomidine = 5.44 ± 0.8 vs. Clonidine = 7.70 ± 0.1), showing that the drugs resulted in a different neuroprotective profile. In conclusion, our results may provide clinically relevant insights for neuroprotective strategies in intensive care units.

Abstract

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused over 530 million infections to date (June 2022), with a high percentage of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. In this context, relatives have been restricted from visiting their loved ones admitted to hospital. This situation has led to an inevitable separation between patients and their families. Video communication could reduce the negative effects of such phenomenon, but the impact of this strategy on levels of anxiety, depression, and PTSD disorder in caregivers is not well-known., Methods: We conducted a prospective study (6 October 2020-18 February 2022) at the Policlinico University Hospital in Catania, including caregivers of both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 ICU patients admitted during the second wave of the pandemic. Video-calls were implemented twice a week. Assessment of anxiety, depression, and PTSD was performed at 1-week distance (before the first, T1, and before the third, video-call, T2) using the following validated questionnaires: Impact of Event Scale (Revised IES-R), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)., Results: Twenty caregivers of 17 patients completed the study (T1 + T2). Eleven patients survived (n = 9/11 in the COVID-19 and n = 2/6 in the "non-COVID" group). The average results of the questionnaires completed by caregivers between T1 and T2 showed no significant difference in terms of CES-D (T1 = 19.6 ± 10, T2 = 22 ± 9.6; p = 0.17), HADS depression (T1 = 9.5 ± 1.6, T2 = 9 ± 3.9; p = 0.59), HADS anxiety (T1 = 8.7 ± 2.4, T2 = 8.4 ± 3.8; p = 0.67), and IES-R (T1 = 20.9 ± 10.8, T2 = 23.1 ± 12; p = 0.19). Similar nonsignificant results were observed in the two subgroups of caregivers (COVID-19 and "non-COVID"). However, at T1 and T2, caregivers of "non-COVID" patients had higher scores of CES-D (p = 0.01 and p = 0.04, respectively) and IES-R (p = 0.049 and p = 0.02, respectively), while HADS depression was higher only at T2 (p = 0.02). At T1, caregivers of non-survivors had higher scores of CES-D (27.6 ± 10.6 vs 15.3 ± 6.7, p = 0.005) and IES-R (27.7 ± 10.0 vs 17.2 ± 9.6, p = 0.03). We also found a significant increase in CES-D at T2 in ICU-survivors (p = 0.04)., Conclusions: Our preliminary results showed that a video-call implementation strategy between caregivers and patients admitted to the ICU is feasible. However, this strategy did not show an improvement in terms of the risk of depression, anxiety, and PTSD among caregivers. Our pilot study remains exploratory and limited to a small sample., (© 2022.

Abstract

To assess the presence of journal policies discouraging inappropriate author's self-citation (A-SC) in "Respiratory System" journals, we evaluated submission guidelines of "Respiratory System" journals included in Journal-Citation Reports 2020 (Clarivate Analytics ® ) for the presence of policies on A-SC and its impact on journals' self-citation (J-SC) rate and impact factor (IF). We found that 14.3% of journals (n=8/56) reported policies on inappropriate A-SC. The median IF was not different in "Respiratory System" journals with (3.6; IQR:2.3) vs without A-SC policies (3.1; IQR:3.0; p=0.41). The J-SC rate was not influenced by the presence of A-SC policies (p=0.83). Fully open-access (n=14) and traditional (n=42) journals had no differences in IF (3.3; IQR:1.5 vs 3.1; IQR:3.4, respectively; p=0.77) and J-SC rate (4.5%; IQR:5.6 vs 6.2%; IQR:8.4, respectively; p=0.38). The majority of "Respiratory System" journals do not have policies discouraging A-SC. The presence of such policies is not associated with changes in IF or J-SC rates., (©Copyright: the Author(s).)
