Effects of non-invasive ventilation in subjects undergoing cardiac surgery on length of hospital stay and cardiac-pulmonary complications: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac surgery often leads to pulmonary complications. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a mechanical ventilation modality that may help to prevent the pulmonary complications, and the role of the prophylactic use of NIV in patients after cardiac surgery remains controversial.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Central for randomized controlled trials comparing the use of NIV (continues positive airway pressure or bi-level positive airway pressure) with standard treatment in post-cardiac surgery subjects without language restriction. Two investigators screened the eligible studies up to July, 2019. Meta-analysis using random effect model or fixed effect model was conducted for pulmonary complications, mortality, rate of reintubation and cardiac complications, and mean difference (MD) or standard mean difference for length of hospital stay and length of ICU stay.

Results

We included nine randomized controlled trails with 830 subjects. The use of NIV failed to reduce the risk of pulmonary complications, including atelectasis [risk rate (RR) 0.60; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.28 to 1.28, P=0.19] and pneumonia (RR 0.27; 95% CI: 0.05 to 1.64, P=0.16). However, it has shortened the length of ICU stay (MD -1.00 h, 95% CI: -1.38 to -0.63, P<0.00001) and the length of hospital stay (MD -1.00 d, 95% CI: -1.12 to -0.87, P<0.00001). NIV also failed to reduce the rate of reintubation (RR 0.68; 95% CI: 0.21 to 2.26, P=0.53) or the risk of cardiac complications (RR 0.81; 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.13, P=0.22).

Conclusions

The prophylactic use of NIV immediately in post-cardiac subjects who underwent cardiac surgery might be able to shorten the length of hospital stay and the length of ICU stay, but it has no significant effect on pulmonary complications, rate of reintubation or cardiac complications.

Project description:BackgroundCompared with historic ventilation strategies, modern lung-protective ventilation includes lower tidal volumes (VT), lower driving pressures, and application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). The contributions of each component to an overall intraoperative protective ventilation strategy aimed at reducing postoperative pulmonary complications have neither been adequately resolved, nor comprehensively evaluated within an adult cardiac surgical population. The authors hypothesized that a bundled intraoperative protective ventilation strategy was independently associated with decreased odds of pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery.MethodsIn this observational cohort study, the authors reviewed nonemergent cardiac surgical procedures using cardiopulmonary bypass at a tertiary care academic medical center from 2006 to 2017. The authors tested associations between bundled or component intraoperative protective ventilation strategies (VT below 8 ml/kg ideal body weight, modified driving pressure [peak inspiratory pressure - PEEP] below 16 cm H2O, and PEEP greater than or equal to 5 cm H2O) and postoperative outcomes, adjusting for previously identified risk factors. The primary outcome was a composite pulmonary complication; secondary outcomes included individual pulmonary complications, postoperative mortality, as well as durations of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit stay, and hospital stay.ResultsAmong 4,694 cases reviewed, 513 (10.9%) experienced pulmonary complications. After adjustment, an intraoperative lung-protective ventilation bundle was associated with decreased pulmonary complications (adjusted odds ratio, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.42-0.75). Via a sensitivity analysis, modified driving pressure below 16 cm H2O was independently associated with decreased pulmonary complications (adjusted odds ratio, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.39-0.66), but VT below 8 ml/kg and PEEP greater than or equal to 5 cm H2O were not.ConclusionsThe authors identified an intraoperative lung-protective ventilation bundle as independently associated with pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery. The findings offer insight into components of protective ventilation associated with adverse outcomes and may serve as targets for future prospective interventional studies investigating the impact of specific protective ventilation strategies on postoperative outcomes after cardiac surgery.

Project description:There is limited information on the impact on perioperative fluid intervention on complications and length of hospital stay following pancreaticoduodenectomy. Therefore, we conducted a detailed analysis of fluid intervention in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy at a university teaching hospital to test the hypothesis that a restrictive intravenous fluid regime and/or a neutral or negative cumulative fluid balance, would impact on perioperative complications and length of hospital stay.We retrospectively obtained demographic, operative details, detailed fluid prescription, complications and outcomes data for 150 consecutive patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy in a university teaching hospital. Prognostic predictors for length of hospital stay and complications were determined.One hundred and fifty consecutive patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy were evaluated between 2006 and 2012. The majority of patients were, middle-aged, overweight and ASA class III. Postoperative complications were frequent and occurred in 86 patients (57%). The majority of complications were graded as Clavien-Dindo Class 2 and 3. Postoperative pancreatic fistula occurred in 13 patients (9%), and delayed gastric emptying occurred in 25 patients (17%). Other postoperative surgical complications included sepsis (22%), bile leak (4%), and postoperative bleeding (2%). Serious medical complications included pulmonary edema (6%), myocardial infarction (8%), cardiac arrhythmias (13%), respiratory failure (8%), and renal failure (7%). Patients with complications received a higher median volume of intravenous therapy and had higher cumulative positive fluid balances. Postoperative length of stay was significantly longer in patients with complications (median 25 days vs. 10 days; p?<?0.001). After adjustment for covariates, a fluid balance of less than 1 litre on postoperative day 1 and surgeon caseloads were associated with the development of complications.In the context of pancreaticoduodenectomy, restrictive perioperative fluid intervention and negative cumulative fluid balance were associated with fewer complications and shorter length of hospital stay. These findings provide good opportunities to evaluate strategies aimed at improving perioperative care.

Project description:BackgroundEarly extubation after cardiac surgery is associated with decreased hospital stay and resource savings with similar mortality and has led to the widespread use of early extubation protocols. In the Vascular Quality Initiative, there is significant regional variation in the frequency of extubation in the operating room (endovascular aneurysm repair [EVAR], 77%-97%; open repair, 30%-70%) after repair of intact abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). However, the effects of extubation practices on patient outcomes after repair of AAAs are unclear.MethodsAll patients undergoing repair of an intact AAA in the Vascular Study Group of New England from 2003 to 2015 were evaluated. Patients undergoing concomitant procedures or conversions were excluded. Timing of extubation was stratified for EVAR (operating room, <12 hours, >12 hours) and open repair (operating room, <12 hours, 12-24 hours, >24 hours). Prolonged hospital stay was defined as >2 days after EVAR and >7 days after open repair. Univariate and multivariable analyses were completed, and independent predictors of extubation outside of the operating room were identified.ResultsThere were 5774 patients evaluated (EVAR, 4453; open repair, 1321). After both EVAR and open repair, respiratory complications, prolonged hospital stay, and discharge to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) increased with intubation time. After adjustment, the odds of complications increased with each 12-hour delay in extubation: respiratory (EVAR: odds ratio [OR], 4.3 [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.0-6.1]; open repair: OR, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.5-2.2]), prolonged hospital stay (EVAR: OR, 2.7 [95% CI, 2.0-3.8]; open repair: OR, 1.3 [95% CI, 1.1-1.4]), and discharge to SNF (EVAR: OR, 2.0 [95% CI, 1.5-2.8]; open repair: OR, 1.4 [95% CI, 1.1-1.6]). Predictors of extubation outside of the operating room after EVAR included increasing age (OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.2-1.8), congestive heart failure (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.2-3.0), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.4-2.9), symptomatic aneurysm (OR, 3.8; 95% CI, 2.3-5.7), and increasing diameter (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.01-1.01). After open repair, increasing age (OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.1-1.6), congestive heart failure (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.01-3.3), dialysis (OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.7-70), symptomatic aneurysm (OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.9-4.3), and hospital practice patterns (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.01-1.01) were predictive of extubation outside of the operating room.ConclusionsThe benefits of early extubation in cardiac patients are also seen after AAA repair. Suitable patients should be extubated in the operating room to decrease respiratory complications, length of stay, and discharge to an SNF. Early extubation protocols should be considered to reduce regional variation in extubation practices and to improve patient outcomes.

Project description:Pulmonary expansion manoeuvres are therapeutic techniques used to prevent and reverse atelectasis; however, no randomized controlled trials have provided evidence supporting the use of this intervention among individuals on mechanical ventilation.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of chest compression-decompression and chest block manoeuvres compared to usual care among patients on mechanical ventilation.MethodsThe current study was a randomized clinical trial of adult subjects on mechanical ventilation for 12 to 48 hours. The control group received usual care (passive or active mobilization, manoeuvres for airway clearance and tracheal aspiration). The intervention group received usual care plus two lung expansion manoeuvres, i.e., chest decompression and chest block, while remaining on mechanical ventilation. Assessments were performed before and after usual care, immediately after the intervention and 30 minutes after the intervention. The primary outcome was static compliance. The secondary outcomes were the incidence of atelectasis, dynamic compliance, airway resistance, driving pressure, oxygenation, duration of mechanical ventilation, extubation success, length of hospital and ICU stay, and mortality.ResultsFifty-one participants (67±15 years old, 53% men, 26 in the control group and 25 in the intervention group) were evaluated. No differences in static compliance were observed between groups (intervention minus control) before and after expansion manoeuvres [3.64 ml/cmH2O (95% CI: -0.36-7.65, p = 0.074)]. Peripheral oxygen saturation differed between groups before and after expansion manoeuvres, with more favourable outcome observed in the control group [-1.04% (95% CI: -1.94 --0.14), p = 0.027]. No differences were found in other outcomes.ConclusionChest compression-decompression and chest block manoeuvres did not improve ventilatory mechanics, the incidence of atelectasis, oxygenation, the duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of stay in the ICU and hospital, or mortality in individuals on mechanical ventilation. The findings of this study can be valuable for guiding evidence-based clinical practice and developing a therapeutic approach that provides real benefits for this population.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing national expenditures and use associated with TKA have resulted in pressure to reduce costs through various reimbursement cuts. However, within the arthroplasty literature, few studies have examined the association of medical comorbidities on resource use and length of stay after joint arthroplasty.Questions/purposesThe purpose of this study was to examine the association between individual patient characteristics (including demographic factors and medical comorbidities) on resource allocation and length of stay (LOS) after TKA.MethodsWe queried the 2009 Nationwide Inpatient Sample dataset for International Classification of Diseases, 9(th) Revision code, 81.54, for TKAs. An initial 621,029-patient cohort was narrowed to 516,745 after inclusion of elective TKAs on patients aged between 40 and 95 years. Using generalized linear models, we estimated the effect of comorbidities on resource use (using cost-to-charge conversions to estimate hospital costs) and the LOS controlling for patient and hospital characteristics. Across the 2009 national cohort with TKAs, 12.7% had no comorbidities, whereas 32.6% had three or more. The most common conditions included hypertension (67.8%), diabetes (20.0%), and obesity (19.8%). Mean hospital costs were USD 14,491 (95% confidence interval [CI], 14,455-14,525) and mean hospital LOS was 3.3 days (95% CI, 3.29-3.31) in this data set.ResultsPatients with multiple comorbidities were associated with increased resource use and LOS. Higher marginal costs and LOS were associated with patients who had an inpatient death (USD +8017 [95% CI, 8006-8028], +2.3 [CI, 2.15-2.44] days over baseline), patients with recent weight loss (USD +4587 [95% CI, 4581-4593], +1.5 [CI, 1.45-1.61) days], minority race (USD +1037 [95% CI, 1035-1038], +0.3 [CI, 0.28-0.33] days), pulmonary-circulatory disorders (USD +3218 [95% CI, 3214-3221], +1.3 [CI, 1.25-1.34] days), and electrolyte disturbances (USD +1313 [95% CI, 1312-1314], +0.6 [CI, 0.57-0.60] days). All p values were < 0.001.ConclusionMultiple patient comorbidities were associated with additive resource use and LOS after TKA. Current reimbursement may not adequately account for these patient characteristics. To avoid potential loss of access to care for sicker patients, payment needs to be adjusted to reflect actual resource use.Level of evidenceLevel IV, economic and decision analysis.
