™Slide 3
Learning Objectives
• Understand risk factors for perioperative morbidity and mortality among adult cardiac surgery patients.
• Identify common perioperative complications
• Integrate scientific evidence and consensus guidelines into strategies for risk reduction and for treating post-operative complications
™Slide 4
Goals of Preoperative Evaluation
• Identify post-operative risk for resource allocation (e.g.,1:1 nursing assignment, IABP)
• Counsel patient and family about ICU environment and expected course
• Modify risk factors for medical optimization (smoking, lipid control, control of HTN)
™Slide 5
Risk Prediction Tool-EUROSCORE
• European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation• www.euroSCORE.org
™Slide 6
Euroscore Risk Calculation
• Patient Related Factors
– Age, gender, chronic disease (e.g., COPD, stroke)
• Cardiac Factors:
– 1. Unstable angina
– 2. Recent MI
– 3. Decreased LV function
– 4. Pulmonary Hyptertension
• Operative Factors: Emergency, complex, aortic surgeryEur J Cardiothorac Surg 1999 Jun;15(6):816-22; discussion 822-3
™Slide 7
Pre-op cardiogenic shock
• Invasive monitoring and inotropic support
• Diuretics, in case of pulmonary edema
• Consider intubation and mech. ventilation
• Echo/cath lab determination of severity of LV dysfunction
• Multidisciplinary discussion of timing of surgery, potential consults: heart failure/transplant, CT surgery, interventional cardiology, referral center
™Slide 8
Pre-Op Cardiogenic Shock and Very High Risk Patients
• Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Pre-Op placement in high risk patients (recent MI, EF<30%, severe CAD) associated with reduced mortality (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.2-0.8, p=0.01)
• 4% risk of complication; risks include aortic dissection, limb or visceral ischemia
• Discuss delay of OR for optimization with teamMeta-analysis: Dyub AM, Whitlock RP, J Cardiac Surg 2008; 23: 79-86
™Slide 9
Multisystem Adverse Effects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
• BYPASS CAUSES SIRS, wide range of severity
• Coagulopathy, platelet dysfunction, fibrinolysis
• Vasodilatation resembling septic shock, with high levels of nitric oxide
• Acute kidney injury (especially in case of chronic kidney disease)
• Neurocognitive deficits
• Hypothermia
• Acute Lung Injury
™Slide 10
Approach to immediate post-op cardiac surgery patient
• COMMUNICATION
• Discuss procedure and anticipated issues with surgeon and anesthesiologist:
• Was pt completely revascularized?
• Evidence of post-bypass coagulopathy?
• TEE results: LV performance and volume status
• Is conduction system impaired?
• Did pt require cardioversion?
• Important bolus medications sometimes overlooked: Amiodarone, milrinone, furosemide, mannitol, paralytic
™Slide 11
Approach to immediate post-op cardiac surgery patient
• Checklist Items
• Baseline volume in chest drain
• Peripheral pulses, especially for sites with arterial lines
• CXR: PA catheter, ETT, gastric access
• ABG
• Temperature
• Vasoactive infusions
• Hemodynamics
• Initial coagulation panel and other labs
™Slide 12
Hemodynamic Goals
• Cardiac Index >2.2 (convention, acceptable range for individual pt based on organ function, pre-op status)
• SvO2 over 65.
• SvO2 expected to fall with extubation, mobilizaiton, shivering, agitation
• Warm extremities and urine output >0.5ml/kg/hr
• Maintain MAP>60 but SBP<120 (to reduce risk of hemorrhage from aortotomy sites
• Higher MAP necessary in older pts, HTN pts
™Slide 13
Early-Onset Hemodynamic Instability
Common Uncommon
HYPOVOLEMIA Severe mitral regurgitation
Low systemic vascular resistance
Other acute valvular pathology
LV systolic or diastolic dysfunction
Dynamic LVOT obstruction
RV dysfunction/pulm HTN Lung hyperinflation

Arrhythmia/Pacer malfunction/poor timing
Cardiothoracic Critical Care, D. Sidebotham, Elsevier, 2007, chapter 20.
™Slide 14
Initial Resuscitation Strategy based on most likely etiology
• Fluid challenge
• Pattern recognition of hemodynamic data (subsequent slide)
• Examine chest tubes, CXR, serial hematocrit levels for evidence of bleeding
• Work through components of cardiac output: Preload, afterload, inotropic state, rhythm, return of blood to R heart
• If persisent difficulty, obtain a stat echo
™Slide 15
Ongoing shock, Unclear cause
• Stepwise optimization of preload, inotropic support, afterload, rate, electrolytes, analgesia, oxygenation.
• Obtain an echocardiogram (TEE if TTE inadequate)
• Obtain a CXR, eval for PTX, hemothorax, widening mediastinum, increasing distance between swan in RA and border of heart (signs of tamponade)
• Increase inotropic support; check ionized calcium
• Consider increasing pacer rate to 90-100 in case intrinsic rate is lower
• Communicate with surgeon

65 YOM with low BP after re-do CABG
• You are called to the bedside to assess decreasing blood pressure despite increase in phenylephrine, 60 minutes after transfer from OR to ICU.
• Vital signs: pulse 110, sinus, BP 85/60, SpO2 98% on 0.5 FiO2, PEEP 5, Vt 8ml/kg
• Initial 30 min 300ml in chest tube, second half hour 20ml in chest tube
• Breath sounds symmetric, pedal pulses weak but palpable
™Slide 18
65 YOM after re-do CABG
• Bypass time 119 minutes
• Hemodynamics: CI 2.1, PAP 26/17, CVP 19
• Gtts: Phenylephrine 2mcg/kg/min, Vasopressin 1U/hr, Epi 0.02mcg/kg/min
• Report from OR: good revascularization, LVH, looked dry and received 3L crystalloid, 1 L albumin with transient improvement in CI
• Coags: PTT slightly elevated, platelets 110,000, fibrinogen 200, heparin level undetectable
™Slide 19
Re-do sternotomy, low BP
• 1. Does hemodynamic profile suggest vasoplegia (distributive shock) as primary problem?
• 2. What further diagnostic maneuvers will you perform?
• 3. Will you change pressors? If so, how?

Cardiothoracic Critical Care, D. Sidebotham, 2007 Elsevier
™Slide 21
Diagnostic Tests
• 12-lead EKG: no evidence of ischemia
• CXR- cardiomegaly, also seen post-operative
• Fluid challenge: transient increase in cardiac output, then CI decreases to 1.8
• Chest tube output 5ml in next 40 minutes
• Pressor changes??
• Most logical step: increase Epi, repeat fluid challenge
™Slide 22
Conclusion
• Hct repeated. Unexplained drop from 27 to 19, Same on repeat.
• Echocardiogram:
• LV hyperdynamic, RV collapses at end diastole, RA collapses during systole. Pericardial space with anterior fluid collection, distorting RA, RV shape.
• Diagnosis: Tamponade, occluded drains, obstructive and hypvolemic shock. -> to OR
™Slide 23
Post-Bypass Hemorrhage: Tips
• 1. When examining a patient with suspected coagulopathy/ongoing mediastinal bleeding, ensure drains are patent; strip drains periodically
• 2. The most likely lesion of hemostasis after bypass is platelet dysfunction. Platelets are the most rational empiric treatment of post-bypass bleeding especially after long bypass/complex cases
• 3. Rule out persistent heparin with a heparin level or coag tests performed with heparinase.
™Slide 24
Peculiar Complications of Bypass
• Air bubbles inadvertently left in the LV at end of bypass preferentially travel to the right coronary (non-dependent position); the emboli cause acute RV ischemia/acute RV failure.
• Keys to treatment:
– Recognition of acute RV failure (Echo best test)
– Avoiding high airway pressure
– Avoiding hypercapnia, acidosis, and hypoxemia
– Milrinone is pressor of choice Circulation. 2008; 117:1717-1731
™Slide 25
Special Problems After Bypass
• Profound vasodilatation causing distributive shock refractory to vasoconstrictors, “vasoplegia”.
– Consider steroids in moderate doses* X 24-48 hours
– High-dose vasopressin X 12-24 hours
– Several reports and some animal models support rescue therapy with methylene blue
• Ref: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2005 Nov; 28(5): 705-10
*240mg hycrocortisone/day after 100mg hydrocortisone bolus. See Crit Care Med 2009;37:1685-90
™Slide 26
Glucose Control in Cardiac Surgery
• Evidence stronger for intensive glucose control in cardiac surgery compared to MICU population
• Aggressive control of blood glucose reduces sternal wound rates
• Anticipate increased insulin needs with patients on epinephrine
• Increased needs when steroids are used
• Concerning increased CVA risk with intensive insulin therapy in one RCT of intensive control
Ann Int Med 2007 Feb 20; 146(4): 233-43
™Slide 27
Post-Op Atrial Fibrillation: Prevention
• Increases morbidity, cost, length of stay
• Common, 30-50% of pts in post-op period
• Amiodarone effective in prevention, yet 25% of pts have side effects, ranging from bradycardia to pulmonary or hepatic toxicity that can be rapidly lethal
• ACC/AHA/ESC guideline: Beta blockers IA, amiodarone IIA, sotalol IIB for prophylaxis
• J Int Care Med 24(1) pp. 18-25, 2009

™Slide 31
Tachycardia after AoVR for AS
• 77 YOF with a history of calcification of aortic valve and slowly developing critical Aortic Stenosis undergoes single vessel CABG and Aortic Valve Replacement.
• Salient facts include prominent LVH, including septal hypertrophy and MR. There is systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral leaflet.
• After extubation, the pt coughs violently. Her BP then drops to 77/40 with a pulse in 160s- the QRS compex is narrow.
™Slide 32
Treatment Options?
• How will you treat the hypotension?
• Will you re-intubate the patient ASAP?
• Suppose cardioversion is successful in restoring sinus rhythm.
• If the BP remains low after a fluid challenge, what is your vasoactive medication of choice?
™Slide 33
Dynamic LV outflow tract obstruction
• Patient is unstable and immediate cardioversion is indicated.
• Intubation and positive pressure ventilation may exacerbate the SAM/outflow obstruction
• Phenylephrine and maintaining LV filling addresses the physiology: Maintain afterload, avoid hyperdynamic LV function, and avoid end-systolic obstruction of LVOT
™Slide 34
LV to LVOT Gradient
Copywright 2009 UpToDate; Version 17.1: Patho-physiology of Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardio-myopathy, Author McKenna WJ
™Slide 35
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
• Hypertrophied septum approaches anterior mitral valve at end-systole
• Gradient develops between LV cavity and LVOT
• Gradient worsens and LVOT can become obstructed with empty LV and hyperdynamism of LV (pain, stress, epinephrine, dobutamine, dopamine)
™Slide 36
Blood Conservation in Cardiac Surgery
™Slide 37
Blood Conservation Key Pointsrelevant to ICU providers
• Class I recommendations:
• Preop identification of high-risk patients
• A “multimodal approach involving multiple stakeholders and enforceable transfusion algorithms supplemented with point-of-care testing”
™Slide 38
Example Algorithm for Blood Conservation
• Agreement among ICU, surgeons, anesthesiologists for transfusion trigger Hct
• Treating coagulopathy based on labs and targeting specific hemostatic defect, when possible
• Limiting phlebotomy and using pediatric test tubes
• Uniform dosing of aminocaproic acid
• Pocket cards with algorithm for all providers
• Communication
™Slide 39
Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia
• Life-threatening prothrombotic disorder after heparin exposure.
• 25-50% of cardiac surgery pts develop heparin-dependent antibodies;
• 1-3% develop HIT
™Slide 40
HIT in Cardiac Surgery
• A non-heparin anticoagulant is indicated
• Options include argatroban and lepirudin
• Hematology consultation recommended for suspected cases
• LMWH recommended for post-op prophylaxis over UFH, lower-associated incidence of HIT
