Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate TFC by EC versus lung ultrasound (LUS) findings for diagnosing and follow-up of TTN in late preterm and term neonates. This prospective observational study was conducted on 80 neonates with gestational age ≥ 34 weeks. TTN group included 40 neonates diagnosed with TTN, and no lung disease (NLD) group included 40 neonates without respiratory distress. LUS and EC were performed within the first 24 h of life and repeated after 72 h. There was a statistically significant increase in TFC in TTN group on D1 [48.48 ± 4.86 (1 KOhm-1)] compared to NLD group [32.95 ± 4.59 (1 KOhm-1)], and then significant decrease in TFC in D3 [34.90 ± 4.42 (1 KOhm-1)] compared to D1 in the TTN group. There was a significant positive correlation between both TFC and LUS with Downes' score, TTN score, and duration of oxygen therapy in the TTN group. Conclusion: Both LUS and TFC by EC provide good bedside tools that could help to diagnose and monitor TTN. TFC showed a good correlation with LUS score and degree of respiratory distress. What is Known: • Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is the most common cause of respiratory distress in newborns. • TTN is a diagnosis of exclusion, there are no specific clinical parameters or biomarker has been identified for TTN. What is New: • Thoracic fluid content (TFC) by electrical cardiometry is a new parameter to evaluate lung fluid volume and could help to diagnose and monitor TTN and correlates with lung ultrasound score.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Respiratory conditions are the most common reason for admission of newborns to a neonatal care unit. The index of contractility (ICON) can be used to measure the thoracic fluid content (TFC) in neonates which is a significant parameter in cases presented with transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN). OBJECTIVE The objective was to compare TFC between newborn infants with TTN compared with other causes of respiratory distress (RD). We tested the hypothesis that TFC would be higher in infants with TTN. STUDY DESIGN In total, 105 newborns were enrolled at the delivery room and were categorized into three groups: TTN, other causes of RD, and control, according to physical examination and Chest X-Ray. TFC was measured within the first 6 hours for all infants and at 24 and 48 hours for the first two groups. RESULTS Demographic data showed higher male participants and use of antenatal steroid therapy in RD groups. TFC within the first 6 hours was higher in RD groups. However, TFC at 24 hours of ≤24 mL/kg, and TFC drop rate at 24 hours of >12% are statistically significant discriminators of TTN from non-TTN, with sensitivity and specificity of 97.1 and 47.1%, and 60 and 82.4%, respectively (Fig 1 and 2). CONCLUSION ICON can be used in conjunction with clinical parameters and CXR as a tool for differentiation between TTN and other causes of RD within the first 24 hours of life by using the cutoff value of TFC at 24 hours and TFC drop rate. This will allow earlier and optimum management of different causes of RD. KEY POINTS · Thoracic fluid content. · Neonatal respiratory distress. · Newborn.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in large trials independent of glycemic control. The mechanisms of this cardioprotective property remain uncertain. Evidence suggests positive hemodynamic changes and favorable cardiac remodeling contributing to the clinical outcomes but results were conflicting. We aim to investigate the potential impact on hemodynamic parameters, cardiac structure and functions. This prospective observational study included T2DM patients receiving canagliflozin 100 mg per day in addition to their antidiabetic treatment. We analyzed hemodynamic parameters assessed by echocardiographic measurements and impedance cardiography (ICG) to evaluate systolic and diastolic functions from baseline to 24 weeks after treatment. A total of 47 patients (25 males and 22 females) averaging 64.6 ± 10.9 years had a significant reduction in HbA1c, body weight, and systolic blood pressure. Hematocrit increased significantly, while NT-proBNP remained unchanged. E/e', left atrium (LA) volume, and LA stiffness were reduced, while left ventricle (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) and LA strain rates increased at 24 weeks by conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography. LV mass and ejection fraction showed no differences. ICG suggested significant improvement in hemodynamic parameters with increased stroke volume index and cardiac output index and decreased systemic vascular resistance index at 12 and 24 weeks. Canagliflozin improved hemodynamic parameters and had a favorable impact on LA and LV reverse remodeling. These changes may explain the beneficial effect on cardiovascular outcomes in large clinical trials.

Abstract
Cardiac output monitoring enables physiology-directed management of critically ill children and aids in the early detection of clinical deterioration. Multiple invasive techniques have been developed and have demonstrated ability to improve clinical outcomes. However, all require invasive arterial or venous catheters, with associated risks of infection, thrombosis and vascular injury. Non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output and fluid responsiveness in infants and children is an active area of interest and several proven techniques are available. Novel non-invasive cardiac output monitors offer a promising alternative to echocardiography and have proven their ability to influence clinical practice. Assessment of perfusion remains a challenge; however, technologies such as near-infrared spectroscopy and photoplethysmography may prove valuable clinical adjuncts in the future.

Abstract
Goals of volume management are to accurately assess intravascular and extravascular volume and predict response to volume administration, vasopressor support or volume removal. Data are reviewed that support the following: (i) Dynamic parameters reliably guide volume administration and may improve clinical outcomes compared with static parameters, but some are invasive or only validated with mechanical ventilation without spontaneous breathing. (ii) Ultrasound visualization of inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter variations with respiration reliably assesses intravascular volume and predicts volume responsiveness. (iii) Although physiology of IVC respiratory variations differs with mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing, the IVC collapsibility index (CI) and distensibility index are interconvertible. (iv) Prediction of volume responsiveness by IVC CI is comparable for mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing patients. (v) Respiratory variations of subclavian/proximal axillary and internal jugular veins by ultrasound are alternative sites, with comparable reliability. (vi) Data support clinical applicability of IVC CI to predict hypotension with anesthesia, guide ultrafiltration goals, predict dry weight, predict intra-dialytic hypotension and assess acute decompensated heart failure. (vii) IVC ultrasound may complement ultrasound of heart and lungs, and abdominal organs for venous congestion, for assessing and managing volume overload and deresuscitation, renal failure and shock. (viii) IVC ultrasound has limitations including inadequate visualization. Ultrasound data should always be interpreted in clinical context. Additional studies are required to further assess and validate the role of bedside ultrasonography in clinical care.

Perioperative advanced haemodynamic monitoring of patients undergoing multivisceral debulking surgery: an observational pilot study. Intensive Care Med Exp 2023; 11:61. [PMID: 37682496 PMCID: PMC10491568 DOI: 10.1186/s40635-023-00543-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing high-risk surgery show haemodynamic instability and an increased risk of morbidity. However, most of the available data concentrate on the intraoperative period. This study aims to characterise patients with advanced haemodynamic monitoring throughout the whole perioperative period using electrical cardiometry. METHODS In a prospective, observational, monocentric pilot study, electrical cardiometry measurements were obtained using an Osypka ICON™ monitor before surgery, during surgery, and repeatedly throughout the hospital stay for 30 patients with primary ovarian cancer undergoing multivisceral cytoreductive surgery. Severe postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification were used as a grouping criterion. RESULTS The relative change from the baseline to the first intraoperative timepoint showed a reduced heart rate (HR, median - 19 [25-quartile - 26%; 75-quartile - 10%]%, p < 0.0001), stroke volume index (SVI, - 9.5 [- 15.3; 3.2]%, p = 0.0038), cardiac index (CI, - 24.5 [- 32; - 13]%, p < 0.0001) and index of contractility (- 17.5 [- 35.3; - 0.8]%, p < 0.0001). Throughout the perioperative course, patients had intraoperatively a reduced HR and CI (both p < 0.0001) and postoperatively an increased HR (p < 0.0001) and CI (p = 0.016), whereas SVI was unchanged. Thoracic fluid volume increased continuously versus preoperative values and did not normalise up to the day of discharge. Patients having postoperative complications showed a lower index of contractility (p = 0.0435) and a higher systolic time ratio (p = 0.0008) over the perioperative course in comparison to patients without complications, whereas the CI (p = 0.3337) was comparable between groups. One patient had to be excluded from data analysis for not receiving the planned surgery. CONCLUSIONS Substantial decreases in HR, SVI, CI, and index of contractility occurred from the day before surgery to the first intraoperative timepoint. HR and CI were altered throughout the perioperative course. Patients with postoperative complications differed from patients without complications in the markers of cardiac function, a lower index of contractility and a lower SVI. The analyses of trends over the whole perioperative time course by using non-invasive technologies like EC seem to be useful to identify patients with altered haemodynamic parameters and therefore at an increased risk for postoperative complications after major surgery.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficiencies of the vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in predicting the condition and prognosis of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 104 infants aged < 1 year who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The maximum and mean postoperative VIS in the first and second 24 hours [VIS (24MAX), VIS (24MEA), VIS (48MAX), and VIS (48MEA)] were recorded. Similarly, LVEF within 24 hours following surgery was monitored. Receiver operator curve (ROC), regression analysis, chi-square test, and t-test were used to analyze both heart function monitoring technologies Results: Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that VIS was strongly associated with adverse events and death [area under ROC (AUROC) > 0.90, P = 0.00], with the two most representative scores being VIS (24MEA) and VIS (48MAX), with cut-off points of 19.42 (sensitivity = 100%; specificity = 93.90%) and 22 (sensitivity = 100%; specificity = 93.90%), respectively for death, and 18.02 (sensitivity = 91.70%; specificity = 89.10%) and 17.75 (sensitivity = 91.70%; specificity = 90.20%), respectively for adverse events. Infants with higher VIS had significantly higher mortality, higher incidence of clinical adverse events, higher lactic acid value, and longer mechanical ventilation and ICU stay (P < 0.05). However, LVEF within 24 hours following surgery was not associated with death (AUROC = 0.65, P = 0.33) or adverse events (AUROC = 0.53, P = 0.81). Moreover, there was no significant change in the length of ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and lactate value (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Vasoactive-inotropic score at an early stage following surgery was significantly associated with the condition and prognosis of infants with congenital heart disease; however, the predictive value of LVEF within 24 hours following surgery was lower.

Abstract
Hemodynamic monitoring is a cornerstone in the assessment of patients with circulatory shock. Timely recognition of hemodynamic compromise and proper optimisation is essential to ensure adequate tissue perfusion and maintain renal, hepatic, abdominal, and cerebral functions. Hemodynamic monitoring has significantly evolved since the first inception of the pulmonary artery catheter more than 50 years ago. Bedside echocardiography, when combined with noninvasive and minimally invasive technologies, provides tools to monitor and quantify the cardiac output to promptly react and improve hemodynamic management in an acute care setting. Commonly used technologies include noninvasive pulse-wave analysis, pulse-wave transit time, thoracic bioimpedance and bioreactance, esophageal Doppler, minimally invasive pulse-wave analysis, transpulmonary thermodilution, and pulmonary artery catheter. These monitoring strategies are reviewed here, along with detailed analysis of their operating mode, particularities, and limitations. The use of artificial intelligence to enhance performance and effectiveness of hemodynamic monitoring is reviewed to apprehend future possibilities.

Abstract
Background and aims Hemodynamic instability is common in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Rewarming is a critical period and non-invasive circulatory monitoring may help guide cardiovascular supportive therapy. The aim of the study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of cardiac function parameters during TH and its relation to neurodevelopmental outcome. Methods In a prospective, observational study, 26 neonates with moderate-severe HIE were enrolled, born between 2016 and 2019. A hemodynamic monitor based on electrical velocimetry (ICON, Osypka Medical GmbH, Berlin, Germany) was used. Heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO) data were recorded continuously throughout TH and rewarming. Neurological outcome was assessed at 2 years of age using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II. edition. Favorable outcome was defined as >70 points on both the psychomotor and mental scales. Time-series analysis was used and features of cardiac function were described to perform logistic regression modeling for outcome prediction. Results Fourteen (54%) patients had favorable and 12 (46%) had adverse outcome. Data collection started from median [IQR] of 11.8 [7.0; 24.3] hours (h) of life and lasted until 84.0. [81.8; 87.0] h. During TH, the mean HR of the favorable outcome group was significantly lower than that of the adverse outcome group (86 ± 13/min vs. 104 ± 18/min, p = 0.01). During rewarming HR increased similarly in both groups. SV was unaffected by rewarming, and showed a slowly increasing trend. SV of the favorable outcome group was significantly higher compared to the adverse outcome group (1.55 ± 0.23 ml/kg vs. 1.29 ± 0.30 ml/kg, p = 0.035). In line with this, CO was similar in both groups (136 ± 27 ml/kg/min vs. 134 ± 36 ml/kg/min), and a significant 25% increase in CO was observed during rewarming. Based on multiple regression modeling, HR during TH was independently associated with neurological outcome (p = 0.023). Conclusion Based on continuous hemodynamic monitoring, patients with adverse outcome have lower SV and higher HR to achieve similar CO to patients with favorable outcome during TH. HR during hypothermia is independently associated with the neurodevelopmental outcome.

Abstract
Background: Perioperative fluid management in children has been a major topic for debate.
Objectives: Our aim is to review the current evidence on perioperative fluid management in children including: type of fluid, administration rates, preoperative fluid intake and monitoring techniques.
Design: Narrative review.
Method: Following the PRISMA-S guidelines we performed a search (2010-March 2022) in databases Medline (through PubMed) and Cochrane Library. 4297 citations were found and screened by two independent researchers. After screening, 64 articles were withheld for our review.
Results: The perioperative administration of isotonic fluids is safer than hypotonic solutions, concerning the development of hyponatremia. A balanced isotonic solution with 1-2,5% glucose should be used as perioperative maintenance IV fluid in children (1 month to 18 years). Colloids can be used in children when inadequate effect in volume correction is achieved with crystalloids. The preferred synthetic colloid for children is a third generation HES in a balanced solution. To date, most clinicians use the “4-2-1 rule” for calculating fluid rate. This may not be the optimal fluid rate, as little research has been done. Preoperative fasting for clear fluids should be limited to 1 hour, children should even be encouraged to drink up until 1 hour before induction. Respiratory variation of aortic blood flow peak velocity (ΔVpeak) with echocardiography is currently the most reliable technique for evaluating fluid responsiveness in children.

[PMID: 35890746 PMCID: PMC9316072 DOI: 10.3390/s22145066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Compensated shock and hypovolaemia are frequent conditions that remain clinically undetected and can quickly cause deterioration of perioperative and critically ill patients. Automated, accurate and non-invasive detection methods are needed to avoid such critical situations. In this experimental study, we aimed to create a prediction model for stroke volume index (SVI) decrease based on electrical cardiometry (EC) measurements. Transthoracic echo served as reference for SVI assessment (SVI-TTE). In 30 healthy male volunteers, central hypovolaemia was simulated using a lower body negative pressure (LBNP) chamber. A machine-learning algorithm based on variables of EC was designed. During LBNP, SVI-TTE declined consecutively, whereas the vital signs (arterial pressures and heart rate) remained within normal ranges. Compared to heart rate (AUC: 0.83 (95% CI: 0.73–0.87)) and systolic arterial pressure (AUC: 0.82 (95% CI: 0.74–0.85)), a model integrating EC variables (AUC: 0.91 (0.83–0.94)) showed a superior ability to predict a decrease in SVI-TTE ≥ 20% (p = 0.013 compared to heart rate, and p = 0.002 compared to systolic blood pressure). Simulated central hypovolaemia was related to a substantial decline in SVI-TTE but only minor changes in vital signs. A model of EC variables based on machine-learning algorithms showed high predictive power to detect a relevant decrease in SVI and may provide an automated, non-invasive method to indicate hypovolaemia and compensated shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Minto pharmacokinetic model is used for target-controlled infusion of remifentanil. The reliability of this model has never been evaluated during normothermic cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this study was to assess the predictive performance of the model during CPB to determine its reliability during cardiac surgery. METHODS This was a single-centre observational study. Arterial blood samples were drawn at five time points: T1, after tracheal intubation; T2, immediately before CPB; T3, 10 min after starting CPB; T4, 45 min after starting CPB; T5, 10 min after weaning off CPB. Prediction error (PE) and absolute prediction error (APE) were calculated for each sample and used to determine median prediction error (MDPE) and median absolute prediction error (MDAPE) per patient. Risk factors for APE >30% were assessed using multivariable analysis. Results are presented as medians with inter-quartile ranges. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients with 283 blood samples (110 during CPB) were included. In the pre-CPB period, MDPE and MDAPE were -17.3 [-32.9 to 2.3] and 24.6 [12-37.7]%, whereas during CPB, they were -1.8 [-15.6 to 11.1] and 14.0 [6.74-27.1]%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between measured and predicted remifentanil plasma concentrations during CPB. Age, preoperative albumin concentrations, temperature, and haemodilution were not independently associated with MDAPE >30%. CONCLUSIONS The Minto model accurately predicts plasma remifentanil concentrations during cardiac surgery with CPB. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION 2017-A03153-50.

Abstract
Perioperative mortality and morbidity in childhood essentially depend on the quality of the anesthesia. The Safe Anesthesia for every Tot (SafeTots) initiative takes this into account and has defined normotension, normovolemia and normal heart rate as quality criteria in pediatric anesthesia. Appropriate monitoring of pediatric hemodynamics is necessary to fulfil these criteria. This article provides an overview of currently used methods and techniques for instrumental and non-instrumental cardiovascular monitoring in children. The current study situation, recommendations and guidelines on the application as well as practical aspects of the measurement methods are explained as far as possible. For a better understanding, procedures not routinely used in clinical practice are described in more detail.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this article is to review various contemporary cardiac output (CO) measurement technologies available and their utility in critically ill patients. RECENT FINDINGS CO measurement devices can be invasive, minimally invasive, or noninvasive depending upon their method of CO measurement. All devices have pros and cons, with pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) being the gold standard. The invasive techniques are more accurate; however, their invasiveness can cause more complications. The noninvasive devices predict CO via mathematical modeling with several assumptions and are thus prone to errors in clinical situations. Recently, PAC has made a comeback into clinical practice especially in cardiac intensive care units (ICUs). Critical care echocardiography (CCE) is an upcoming tool that not only provides CO but also helps in differential diagnosis. Lack of proper training and nonavailability of equipment are the main hindrances to the wide adoption of CCE. SUMMARY PAC thermodilution for CO measurement is still gold standard and most suitable in patients with cardiac pathology and with experienced user. CCE offers an alternative to thermodilution and is suitable for all ICUs; however, structural training is required.

Abstract
There are no studies examining interventricular (VV) delay optimization by an electrical cardiometry method in relation to subsequent cardiac function in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) -implanted patients. This study aimed to compare the VV delay in CRT-implanted patients by the dp/dt and electrical cardiometry and to examine the optimization of VV delay and improvement of cardiac function. We examined 19 consecutive CRT-implanted patients. The protocol included biventricular stimulation with either simultaneous or sequential pacing, and we evaluated systolic volume (SV) using an electrical cardiometry and the dp/dt of the left ventricle. The optimal VV delay was determined by the maximum SV using the electrical cardiometry. Two groups were defined, those whose increase in SV was at or above the median and those whose SV increase was below the median; changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The correlation between the VV delay optimized by the electrical cardiometry and dp/dt methods was high (R = 0.61, P = 0.006). Compared to the baseline SV (43.4 mL), the SV increased to 47.8 mL with simultaneous biventricular pacing (versus baseline P = 0.008) and further increased to 49.8 mL with optimized VV delay (versus simultaneous biventricular pacing P = 0.020). LVEF after 6 months significantly improved in the above-median SV increase group (37.6 versus 28.2%, P = 0.041), but not in the below-median SV increase group (26.5 versus 26.5%, P = 0.985). In conclusion, the optimal VV delay by electrical cardiometry method was almost concordant with that by the dp/dt method. Cardiac function significantly improved in the group with the above-median SV increase.

Abstract
Background Data on pulmonary hemodynamic parameters in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are scarce. Methods The associations between pulmonary artery catheter parameters for the first 7 days of ECMO, fluid balance, and hospital mortality were investigated in adult patients (aged ≥19 years) who received venovenous ECMO for refractory ARDS between 2015 and 2017. Results Twenty patients were finally included in the analysis (median age, 56.0 years; interquartile range, 45.5-68.0; female, n=10). A total of 140 values were collected for each parameter (i.e., 7 days×20 patients). Net fluid balance was weakly but significantly correlated with systolic and diastolic pulmonary arterial pressures (PAPs; r=0.233 and P<0.001; r=0.376 and P<0.001, respectively). Among the mechanical ventilation parameters, above positive end-expiratory pressure was correlated with systolic PAP (r=0.191 and P=0.025), and static compliance was negatively correlated with diastolic PAP (r=-0.169 and P=0.048). Non-survivors had significantly higher systolic PAPs than in survivors. However, in multivariate analysis, there was no significant association between mean systolic PAP and hospital mortality (odds ratio, 1.500; 95% confidence interval, 0.937-2.404; P=0.091). Conclusion Systolic PAP was weakly but significantly correlated with net fluid balance during the early ECMO period in patients with refractory ARDS receiving ECMO.

Accuracy and Trending Ability of Electrical Biosensing Technology for Non-invasive Cardiac Output Monitoring in Neonates: A Systematic Qualitative Review. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:851850.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electrical biosensing technology (EBT) is an umbrella term for non-invasive technology utilizing the body's fluctuating resistance to electrical current flow to estimate cardiac output. Monitoring cardiac output in neonates may allow for timely recognition of hemodynamic compromise and allow for prompt therapy, thereby mitigating adverse outcomes. For a new technology to be safely used in the clinical environment for therapeutic decisions, it must be proven to be accurate, precise and be able to track temporal changes. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and analyze studies that describe the accuracy, precision, and trending ability of EBT to non-invasively monitor Left ventricular cardiac output and/or stroke volume in neonates. METHODS A qualitative systematic review was performed. Studies were identified from PubMed NCBI, SCOPUS, and EBSCOHost up to November 2021, where EBT technologies were analyzed in neonates, in comparison to a reference technology. Outcome measures were bias, limits of agreement, percentage error for agreement studies and data from 4-quadrant and polar plots for trending studies. Effect direction plots were used to present results. RESULTS Fifteen neonatal studies were identified, 14 for agreement and 1 for trending analysis. Only thoracic electrical biosensing technology (TEBT), with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) as the comparator, studies were available for analyzes. High heterogeneity existed between studies. An equal number of studies showed over- and underestimation of left ventricular output parameters. All studies showed small bias, wide limits of agreement, with most studies having a percentage error >30%. Sub-analyses for respiratory support mode, cardiac anomalies and type of technology showed similar results. The single trending study showed poor concordance, high angular bias, and poor angular concordance. DISCUSSION Overall, TEBT shows reasonable accuracy, poor precision, and non-interchangeability with TTE. However, high heterogeneity hampered proper analysis. TEBT should be used with caution in the neonatal population for monitoring and determining therapeutic interventions. The use of TEBT trend monitoring has not been sufficiently studied and requires further evaluation in future trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Electrical velocimetry (EV) offers a noninvasive tool for continuous cardiac output (CO) measurements which might facilitate hemodynamic monitoring and targeted therapy in low birth neonates, in whom other methods of CO measurement are not practicably feasible. METHODS This prospective observational study compared simultaneous cardiac output measurements by electrical velocimetry (COEV) with transthoracic echocardiography (COTTE) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Echocardiography was performed by 1 single examiner. Data were analyzed by Bland-Altman analysis and independent-samples analysis of variance. A mean percentage error (MPE) of <30% and limits of agreement (LOA) up to ±30% were considered clinically acceptable. RESULTS Thirty-eight ELBW neonates were studied and yielded 85 pairs of COEV and COTTE measurements. Bland-Altman analysis showed an overall bias (the mean difference) and LOA of -126 and -305 to +52 mL min-1, respectively, and an MPE of 66%. Patients with patent ductus arteriosus had a higher bias with LOA and MPE of -166.8, -370.7 to +37 mL min-1, and 69%, respectively. The overall true precision was 58%. CONCLUSION This study showed high bias and lack of agreement between EV and TTE for measurement of CO in ELBW infants in NICU, limiting applicability of EV to monitor absolute values.

Abstract
Resuscitative fluid therapy aims to increase stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) and restore/improve tissue oxygen delivery in patients with circulatory failure. In individualized goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT), fluids are titrated based on the assessment of responsiveness status (i.e., the ability of an individual to increase SV and CO in response to volume expansion). Fluid administration may increase venous return, SV and CO, but these effects may not be predictable in the clinical setting. The fluid challenge (FC) approach, which consists on the intravenous administration of small aliquots of fluids, over a relatively short period of time, to test if a patient has a preload reserve (i.e., the relative position on the Frank-Starling curve), has been used to guide fluid administration in critically ill humans. In responders to volume expansion (defined as individuals where SV or CO increases ≥10–15% from pre FC values), FC administration is repeated until the individual no longer presents a preload reserve (i.e., until increases in SV or CO are <10–15% from values preceding each FC) or until other signs of shock are resolved (e.g., hypotension). Even with the most recent technological developments, reliable and practical measurement of the response variable (SV or CO changes induced by a FC) has posed a challenge in GDFT. Among the methods used to evaluate fluid responsiveness in the human medical field, measurement of aortic flow velocity time integral by point-of-care echocardiography has been implemented as a surrogate of SV changes induced by a FC and seems a promising non-invasive tool to guide FC administration in animals with signs of circulatory failure. This narrative review discusses the development of GDFT based on the FC approach and the response variables used to assess fluid responsiveness status in humans and animals, aiming to open new perspectives on the application of this concept to the veterinary field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fluid boluses are commonly administered to improve the cardiac output and tissue oxygen delivery in pediatric septic shock. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of an early fluid bolus administered to children with septic shock on the cardiac index and mean arterial pressure, as well as on the hemodynamic response and its relationship with outcome. DESIGN, SETTING, PATIENTS, AND INTERVENTIONS We prospectively collected hemodynamic data from children with septic shock presenting to the emergency department or the PICU who received a fluid bolus (10 mL/kg of Ringers Lactate over 30 min). A clinically significant response in cardiac index-responder and mean arterial pressure-responder was both defined as an increase of greater than or equal to 10% 10 minutes after fluid bolus. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Forty-two children with septic shock, 1 month to 16 years old, median Pediatric Risk of Mortality-III of 13 (interquartile range, 9-19), of whom 66% were hypotensive and received fluid bolus within the first hour of shock recognition. Cardiac index- and mean arterial pressure-responsiveness rates were 31% and 38%, respectively. We failed to identify any association between cardiac index and mean arterial pressure changes (r = 0.203; p = 0.196). Cardiac function was similar in mean arterial pressure- and cardiac index-responders and nonresponders. Mean arterial pressure-responders increased systolic, diastolic, and perfusion pressures (mean arterial pressure - central venous pressure) after fluid bolus due to higher indexed systemic vascular resistance and arterial elastance index. Mean arterial pressure-nonresponders required greater vasoactive-inotrope support and had higher mortality. CONCLUSIONS The hemodynamic response to fluid bolus in pediatric septic shock was variable and unpredictable. We failed to find a relationship between mean arterial pressure and cardiac index changes. The adverse effects of fluid bolus extended beyond fluid overload and, in some cases, was associated with reduced mean arterial pressure, perfusion pressures and higher vasoactive support. Mean arterial pressure-nonresponders had increased mortality. The response to the initial fluid bolus may be helpful to understand each patient's individualized physiologic response and guide continued hemodynamic management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac output determination is essential in precapillary pulmonary hypertension. While direct Fick is the gold standard, thermodilution is commonly used as the reference method. Moving to noninvasive methods would be highly beneficial for patients, avoiding repetitive invasive assessments. This systematic review followed 3 objectives: (1) assessing the validity of indirect Fick and thermodilution in precapillary pulmonary hypertension, (2) assessing the interchangeability of noninvasive cardiac output measurement methods against reference methods in precapillary pulmonary hypertension, and (3) detecting methodological heterogeneity in the included studies. METHODS We systematically reviewed the literature using medical databases and following PRISMA guidelines. We included articles comparing an invasive or noninvasive cardiac output measurement method with thermodilution or direct Fick in precapillary pulmonary hypertension patients. Cutoffs of limits of agreement and percentage error derived from the Bland and Altman graph were used to accept interchangeability. To study methodological heterogeneity, we extracted 9 quality criteria from all studies. RESULTS Eleven studies were included. None reached the suggested interchangeability criteria. The median number of the 9 assessed quality criteria was 2 with interquartile range (0-4). CONCLUSIONS Further studies evaluating the reliability of thermodilution and the consequences of its use in precapillary pulmonary hypertension patients are necessary. No evidence supports the use of indirect Fick in precapillary pulmonary hypertension. The studied noninvasive methods could not be considered interchangeable with invasive methods. A robust methodology should be used to draw sensible conclusions.

Variability in the Physiologic Response to Fluid Bolus in Pediatric Patients Following Cardiac Surgery. Crit Care Med 2021; 48:e1062-e1070.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid boluses aiming to improve the cardiac output and oxygen delivery are commonly administered in children with shock. An increased mean arterial pressure in addition to resolution of tachycardia and improved peripheral perfusion are often monitored as clinical surrogates for improvement in cardiac output. The objective of our study is to describe changes in cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, and their relationship to other indices of cardiovascular performance. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study is to describe changes in cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, and their relationship to other indices of cardiovascular performance. DESIGN, SETTING, PATIENTS, AND INTERVENTIONS We prospectively analyzed hemodynamic data from children in the cardiac ICU who received fluid bolus (10mL/kg of Ringers-Lactate over 30 min) for management of shock and/or hypoperfusion within 12h of cardiac surgery. Cardiac index responders and mean arterial pressure-responders were defined as CI ≥10% and mean arterial pressure ≥10%, respectively. We evaluated the gradient for venous-return (mean systemic filling pressure-central venous pressure), arterial load properties (systemic vascular resistance index and elastance index) and changes in vasopressor support after fluid bolus. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Fifty-seven children between 1 month and 16 years (median Risk adjustment after congenital heart surgery Model for Outcome Surveillance in Australia and New Zealand score of 3.8 (interquartile range 3.7-4.6) received fluid bolus. Cardiac index-responsiveness and mean arterial pressure-responsiveness rates were 33% and 56%, respectively. No significant correlation was observed between changes in mean arterial pressure and cardiac index (r = 0.035, p = 0.79). Although the mean systemic filling pressure - central venous pressure and the number of cardiac index-responders after fluid bolus were similar, the arterial load parameters did not change in mean arterial pressure-nonresponders. Forty-three patients (75%) had a change in Vasoactive-Inotrope Score after the fluid bolus, of whom 60% received higher level of vasoactive support. CONCLUSIONS The mean arterial pressure response to fluid bolus in cardiac ICU patients was unpredictable with a poor relationship between cardiac index-responsiveness and mean arterial pressure-responsiveness. Because arterial hypotension is frequently a trigger for administering fluids and changes in blood pressure are commonly used for tracking changes in cardiac output, we suggest a cautious and individualized approach to repeat fluid bolus based solely on lack of mean arterial pressure response to the initial fluid, since the implications include decreased arterial tone even if the cardiac index increases.

Abstract
Bioreactance (BR) is a novel, non-invasive technology that is able to provide minute-to-minute monitoring of cardiac output and additional haemodynamic variables. This study aimed to determine the values for BR-derived haemodynamic variables in stable preterm neonates during the transitional period. A prospective observational study was performed in a group of stable preterm (< 37 weeks) infants in the neonatal service of Tygerberg Children's Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa. All infants underwent continuous bioreactance (BR) monitoring until 72 h of life. Sixty three preterm infants with a mean gestational age of 31 weeks and mean birth weight of 1563 g were enrolled. Summary data and time series graphs were drawn for BR-derived heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure, stroke volume, cardiac output and total peripheral resistance index. All haemodynamic parameters were significantly associated with postnatal age, after correction for clinical variables (gestational age, birth weight, respiratory support mode). To our knowledge, this is the first paper to present longitudinal BR-derived haemodynamic variable data in a cohort of stable preterm infants, not requiring invasive ventilation or inotropic support, during the first 72 h of life. Bioreactance-derived haemodynamic monitoring is non-invasive and offers the ability to simultaneously monitor numerous haemodynamic parameters of global systemic blood flow. Moreover, it may provide insight into transitional physiology and its pathophysiology.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the utility of noninvasive electrocardiometry (ICON®) for hemodynamic categorization and assessment of fluid responsiveness in pediatric septic shock. Materials and methods Pilot prospective observational study in a 12-bedded tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in children aged between 2 months and 16 years with unresolved septic shock after a 20 mL/kg fluid bolus. Those with cardiac index (CI) <3.3 L/min/m2 and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) >1600 dyn sec/cm5/m2 were classified as vasoconstrictive shock–electrocardiometry (VCEC) and those with CI >5.5 L/min/m2 and SVRI <1000 dyn sec/cm5/m2 as vasodilated shock–electrocardiometry (VDEC). Fluid responsiveness was defined as a 10% increase in CI with a 20 mL/kg fluid bolus. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SMD) was diagnosed on echocardiography. Outcomes studied included clinical shock resolution, length of PICU stay, and mortality. Results Thirty children were enrolled over 6 months with a median (interquartile range) age and pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM) III score of 87(21,108) months and 6.75(1.5,8.25), respectively; 14(46.6%) were boys and 4(13.3%) died. Clinically, 19(63.3%) children had cold shock and 11(36.7%) had warm shock; however, 16(53.3%) children had VDEC (including five with clinical cold shock) and 14(46.7%) had VCEC using electrocardiometry. Fluid responsiveness was seen in 16(53.3%) children, 10 in the VCEC group and 6 in the VDEC group. In the VCEC group, the responders had a significant rise in CI and a fall in SVRI, while the responders in the VDEC group had a significant rise in CI and SVRI. Fluid responders, compared to nonresponders, had a significantly higher stroke volume variation (SVV) before fluid bolus (24.1 ± 5.2% vs. 18.2 ± 3.5%, p < 0.001) and a higher reduction in SVV after fluid bolus (10.0 ± 2.8% vs. 6.0 ± 4.5%, p = 0.006), higher lactate clearance (p = 0.03) and lower vasoactive-inotropic score (p = 0.04) at 6 hours, higher percentage of clinical shock resolution at 6 (p = 0.01) and 12 hours (p = 0.01), and lesser mortality (p = 0.002). Five (16.6%) children with VCEC had SMD and were less fluid responsive (p = 0.04) with higher mortality (p = 0.01) compared to those without SMD. Conclusions and clinical significance Continuous, noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring using electrocardiometry permits hemodynamic categorization and assessment of fluid responsiveness in pediatric septic shock. This may provide real-time guidance for optimal interventions, and thus, improve the outcomes. How to cite this article Rao SS, Reddy M, Lalitha AV, Ghosh S.

Abstract
Respiratory approaches to determining cardiac output in humans are securely rooted in mass balance and therefore potentially highly accurate. To address existing limitations in the gas analysis, we developed an in-airway analyser based on laser absorption spectroscopy to provide analyses every 10 ms. The technique for estimating cardiac output requires both a relatively soluble and insoluble tracer gas, and we employed acetylene and methane for these, respectively. A multipass cell was used to provide sufficient measurement sensitivity to enable analysis directly within the main gas stream, thus avoiding errors introduced by sidestream gas analysis. To assess performance, measurements of cardiac output were made during both rest and exercise on five successive days in each of six volunteers. The measurements were extremely repeatable (coefficient of variation ~ 7%). This new measurement technology provides a stable foundation against which the algorithm to calculate cardiac output can be further developed.

Abstract
Purpose Introducing advanced hemodynamic monitoring might be beneficial during Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) care. However, it should not increase the on-scene-time, it should be easy to use and should be non-invasive. The goal of this study was to investigate the feasibility of non-invasive cardiac output measurements by electrical cardiometry (EC) and the quality of the EC signal during pre-hospital care provided by our HEMS. Methods A convenience sample of fifty patients who required HEMS assistance were included in this study. Problems with respect to connecting the patient, entering patient characteristics and measuring were inventoried. Quality of EC signal of the measurements was assessed during prehospital helicopter care. We recorded the number of measurements with a signal quality indicator (SQI) ≥ 80 and the number of patients having at least 1 measurement with a SQI ≥ 80. Furthermore, the SQI value distribution of the measurements within each patient was analysed. Results In the experience of the attending HEMS caregivers application of the device was easy and did not result in increased duration of on-scene time. Patch adhesion was reported as a concern due to clammy skin in 22% of all cases. 684 measurements were recorded during HEMS care. In 47 (94%) patients at least 1 measurement with an SQI ≥ 80 was registered. Of all recorded measurements 5.8% had an SQI < 40, 11.4% had an SQI 40–59, 14.9% had a SQI between 60 and 79 and 67.8% had SQI ≥ 80. Conclusion Cardiac output measurements are feasible during prehospital HEMS care with good quality of the EC signal. Monitoring was easy to use and quick to install. In our view it is an promising candidate for the prehospital setting. Further research is needed to determine its clinical value during clinical decision making.

Case Report: Anesthetic Management and Electrical Cardiometry as Intensive Hemodynamic Monitoring During Cheiloplasty in an Infant With Enzyme-Replaced Pompe Disease and Preserved Preoperative Cardiac Function. Front Pediatr 2021; 9:729824. [PMID: 34966699 PMCID: PMC8710755 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2021.729824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Pompe disease is caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid α-glucosidase, which results in cardiac and muscular complications that can jeopardize perioperative outcomes. We report a 4-month-old infant with Pompe disease receiving cheiloplasty under general anesthesia with the aid of peripheral nerve blocks and intensive hemodynamic monitoring. Case Description: This case report describes a 4-month-old full-term Taiwanese female infant who presented with left unilateral cleft lip and palate in the prenatal examination. She was diagnosed with infantile-onset Pompe disease after acidic α-glucosidase (GAA) gene sequencing. She also received enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) 15 days after birth and regular ERT every other week. Cheiloplasty was performed under general anesthesia uneventfully, and peripheral nerve blocks were adopted for analgesia. Intensive hemodynamic monitoring using electrical cardiometry technology (ICON®) and pulse contour analysis (FloTrac system) were applied during the operation. No adverse effects were observed, and the wound healed well. Therefore, the patient was discharged 4 days after surgery. Conclusion: With the availability of ERT, severe organ dysfunction in infantile-onset Pompe disease patients is no longer common. However, moderate cardiac depression can still occur while increasing inspiratory pressure and deepening the anesthesia level despite a normal preoperative echocardiogram report. Therefore, careful, gradual titration is desirable. Furthermore, electrical cardiometry can detect hemodynamic changes more instantaneously and reliably than pulse contour analysis. In addition, we suggest taking advantage of the peripheral nerve block as a part of balanced anesthesia to alleviate the cardiac suppression caused by general anesthesia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is unknown whether bioreactance (BR) can accurately track cardiac output (CO) changes in preterm neonates. METHODS A prospective observational longitudinal study was performed in stable preterm infants (<37 weeks) during the first 72 h of life. Stroke volume (SV) and CO, as measured by BR and transthoracic echocardiography, were compared. RESULTS The mean gestational age (GA) was 31.3 weeks and mean birth weight (BW) was 1,563 g. Overall, 690 measurements were analysed for trending ability by 4-quadrant and polar plots. For non-weight-indexed measurements, 377 (54.6%) lay outside the 5% exclusion zone, the concordance rate was poor (77.2%) with a high mean angular bias (28.6°), wide limits of agreement and a poor angular concordance rate (17.4%). Neither GA, BW nor respiratory support mode affected trending data. Patent ductus arteriosus, postnatal age, and CO level had variable effects on trending data. Trending data for 5 and 10% exclusion zones were also compared. CONCLUSION The ability of BR to track changes in CO is not interchangeable with CO changes as measured by echocardiography. BR, as a trend monitor for changes in CO or SV to determine clinical decisions around interventions in neonatology, should be used with caution.

Improved Exercise Tolerance, Oxygen Delivery, and Oxygen Utilization After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation for Severe Aortic Stenosis. CJC Open 2020; 2:490-496. [PMID: 33305208 PMCID: PMC7710946 DOI: 10.1016/j.cjco.2020.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represents an effective therapeutic procedure, particularly in patients with severe aortic stenosis. We hypothesized that the decreased afterload induced by TAVI would improve exercise capacity by enhancing oxygen uptake in working muscles. Methods A standardized exercise test was performed in patients with severe aortic stenosis the day before TAVI and within 5 days thereafter. The main study endpoint was the workload achieved during a 5-minute standardized exercise test. Using electrical cardiometry and near-infrared spectroscopy, we explored and compared the changes in cardiac index (CI), as well as muscular and cerebral tissue oximetry, during the 2 exercise tests. Results Thirty patients completed the study protocol. Compared with the pre-TAVI period, patients achieved a higher median workload after TAVI (316 Joules [interquartile range {IQR}: 169–494] vs 190 Joules [IQR: 131–301], P = 0.002). Baseline CI increased from 2.5 l/min per m2 (IQR: 2.1–2.9) to 2.9 l/min per m2 (IQR: 2.5–3.2; P = 0.009), whereas CI at the end of the exercise test increased from 4.5 l/min per m2 (IQR: 3.4–5.3) to 4.7 l/min per m2 (3.4–6.4; P = 0.019). At the end of the exercise test, cerebral tissue oximetry increased from 70% (IQR: 65–72) to 74% (IQR: 66–78), and muscle tissue oximetry increased from 62% (IQR: 58–65) to 71% (65–74; P = 0.046 and P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions Early improvement of exercise capacity after TAVI is associated with increased CI and better oxygen utilization in the brain and skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Background Elderly population are at increased risk of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension increasing their risk for postoperative morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic effects of prophylactic infusion of norepinephrine (NE) versus phenylephrine (PE) in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia. Methods Elderly patients scheduled for hip fracture surgery were randomized to receive either NE infusion (8 µg/min) (NE group, n = 31) or PE infusion (100 µg/min) (PE group, n = 31) after spinal anesthesia. Outcomes included mean heart rate, mean blood pressure, cardiac output, incidence of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension, incidence of bradycardia, and incidence of hypertension. Results Sixty-two patients with a mean age of 71 ± 6 years were included in the final analysis (31 patients in each group). The NE group showed a higher mean heart rate and cardiac output than the PE group. The NE group had a lower incidence of reactive bradycardia (10% vs. 36%, P = 0.031) and hypertension (3% vs. 36%, P = 0.003) than the PE group. No study participant developed hypotension, and the mean blood pressure was comparable between the two groups. Conclusions Both NE and PE infusions effectively prevented spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. However, NE provided more hemodynamic stability than PE; maintaining the heart rate, higher cardiac output, less reactive bradycardia, and hypertension.

The predictive value of the Pleth Variability Index on fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing anaesthetized children-A prospective observational study. Paediatr Anaesth 2020; 30:1124-1131. [PMID: 32767812 PMCID: PMC7589325 DOI: 10.1111/pan.13991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/31/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In children, the preoperative hydration status is an important part of the overall clinical assessment. The assumed preoperative fluid deficit is often routinely replaced during induction without knowing the child's actual fluid status. AIM We investigated the predictive value of the Pleth Variability Index as a measure of fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing anesthetized children. METHODS Pleth Variability Index, stroke volume and Cardiac Index, measured by electrovelocimetry, mean blood pressure, and heart rate were recorded during anesthesia induction in 50 pediatric patients <6 years. Baseline values were compared to values recorded after administration of 10 mL/kg of Ringer's lactate and during two passive leg raising tests (before and after fluid administration). Fluid responsiveness was defined as an increase of ≥10% in stroke volume. RESULTS Only in fluid responsive patients, Pleth Variability Index values were higher before fluid administration than thereafter (21.4 ± 5.9% vs 15.0 ± 9.4%, 95% CI of difference 1.1 to 11.8%, P = .02). Pleth Variability Index values at baseline were higher in fluid responders (21.4 ± 5.9%) than in fluid nonresponders (15.3 ± 7.7%), 95% CI of difference 1.6 to 10.6%, P = .009. The area under the receiver operating curve indicating fluid responsiveness was 0.781 (95% CI 0.623 to 0.896, P = .0002), with the highest sensitivity (82%) and specificity (70%) at a Pleth Variability Index of >15% (Positive predictive value 2.71 (95% CI: 1.4 to 5.2)). Only in fluid responders, the Pleth Variability Index decreased during passive leg raising, while stroke volume increased. CONCLUSIONS The Pleth Variability Index may be of additional value to predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing anesthetized children. A significant overlap in baseline Pleth Variability Index values between fluid responsive and nonfluid responsive patients does not allow a reliable recommendation as to a cut off value.

Effect of etomidate on systemic and regional cerebral perfusion in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease: A prospective observational study. Paediatr Anaesth 2020; 30:984-989. [PMID: 32767521 DOI: 10.1111/pan.13977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonates and infants with congenital heart disease undergoing general anesthesia have an increased risk for critical cardiovascular events. Etomidate produces very minimal changes in hemodynamic parameters in older children with congenital heart disease. There is a lack of studies evaluating the effect of etomidate on systemic and regional cerebral perfusion in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease. AIM The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the effect of etomidate on systemic and regional cerebral perfusion in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease. METHODS In fifty infants aged 0-11 months (24% neonates n = 12) with congenital heart disease, mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac index using electrical cardiometry, and regional cerebral oxygen saturation using near-infrared spectroscopy were measured at baseline and 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes after induction by 0.4 mg kg-1 etomidate. Hypotension was defined as a mean arterial blood pressure under 35 mm Hg and cerebral desaturation as a regional cerebral oxygen saturation of less than 80% of baseline. RESULTS Mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac index, and regional cerebral oxygen saturation remained stable above the predefined limits. Mean arterial blood pressure decreased slightly within a physiological range after 3 minutes (P = .005, 95% CI:-5.9 to -1.0). No significant change in cardiac index could be observed. CONCLUSION Etomidate 0.4mg kg-1 does not impair systemic or regional cerebral perfusion in neonates or infants with congenital heart disease.

Abstract
A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with acute cardiac insufficiency based on evidence of congestive heart failure. The non-invasive measurement of the cardiac output using an AESCULON® mini showed low cardiac output (CO, 3.9 L/min). We administered an intravenous diuretic for cardiac edema and dobutamine drip for low cardiac output. Soon after starting dobutamine at 3.2 γ (microg/kg/min), the CO improved to 6.8 L/min. Combination therapy of diuretic and dobutamine resolved the heart failure. CO measurement by an AESCULON® mini was safe, cost-effective, and convenient. Data output correlates with the CO by Swan-Ganz catheterization. The non-invasive measurement of the CO permitted a smooth recovery without recurrence in this patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric hemodialysis (HD) patients have a high incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The study aim was to investigate whether impedance cardiography (electrical velocimetry, EV) is suitable as a hemodynamic trend monitoring tool in pediatric patients during HD. METHODS Measurements by EV were obtained before, during, and after HD in a prospective single-center pediatric observational study. In total, 54 dialysis cycles in four different pediatric patients with end-stage kidney disease on chronic HD were included. EV parameters analyzed were heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), stroke volume index (SI), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), thoracic fluid content (TFC), index of contractility (ICON), stroke volume variation (SVV), variation of ICON (VIC), R-R interval (TRR), pre-ejection period (PEP), left ventricular ejection time (LVET), and systolic time ration (STR). Systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) was calculated. RESULTS EV did measure significant changes in cardiovascular parameters associated with HD. The following parameters increased after HD: HR (9%), SVV (19%), VIC (33%), PEP (8%), and STR (18%). A decrease after HD was measured in SV (18%), SI (18%), CO (10%), CI (10%), TFC (10%), ICON (7%), TRR (7%), LVET (8%), and LVET (8%). SVRI was not affected by HD. The changes were correlated to ultrafiltration. HD cycles without fluid withdrawal also altered cardiovascular parameters. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric HD with and without fluid withdrawal changes hemodynamic EV monitoring parameters. Possibly EV may be useful to optimize HD management in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Circulatory monitoring is currently limited to heart rate and blood pressure assessment in the majority of neonatal units globally. Non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NiCO) in term and preterm neonates is increasing, where it has the potential to enhance our understanding and management of overall circulatory status. In this narrative review, we summarized 33 studies including almost 2,000 term and preterm neonates. The majority of studies evaluated interchangeability with echocardiography. Studies were performed in various clinical settings including the delivery room, patent ductus arteriosus assessment, patient positioning, red blood cell transfusion, and therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. This review presents an overview of NiCO in neonatal care, focusing on technical and practical aspects as well as current available evidence. We discuss potential goals for future research.
