Abstract
Outpatient monitoring of infants with congenital heart disease has been shown to significantly reduce rates of mortality in the single ventricle population. Despite the accelerating development of miniaturized biosensors and electronics, and a growing market demand for at-home monitoring devices, the application of these technologies to infants and children is significantly delayed compared with the development of devices for adults. This article aims to review the current landscape of available monitoring technologies and devices for pediatric patients to describe the gap between technologies and clinical needs with the goal of progressing development of clinically and scientifically validated pediatric monitoring devices.

Matsushita FY, Krebs VLJ, De Carvalho WB. Association between Serum Lactate and Morbidity and Mortality in Neonates: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:1796. [PMID: 38002887 PMCID: PMC10670916 DOI: 10.3390/children10111796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lactate is a marker of hypoperfusion in critically ill patients. Whether lactate is useful for identifying and stratifying neonates with a higher risk of adverse outcomes remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between lactate and morbidity and mortality in neonates. METHODS A meta-analysis was performed to determine the association between blood lactate levels and outcomes in neonates. Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to 1 May 2021. A total of 49 observational studies and 14 data accuracy test studies were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational studies and the QUADAS-2 tool for data accuracy test studies. The primary outcome was mortality, while the secondary outcomes included acute kidney injury, necessity for renal replacement therapy, neurological outcomes, respiratory morbidities, hemodynamic instability, and retinopathy of prematurity. RESULTS Of the 3184 articles screened, 63 studies fulfilled all eligibility criteria, comprising 46,069 neonates. Higher lactate levels are associated with mortality (standard mean difference, -1.09 [95% CI, -1.46 to -0.73]). Using the estimated sensitivity (0.769) and specificity (0.791) and assuming a prevalence of 15% for adverse outcomes (median of prevalence among studies) in a hypothetical cohort of 10,000 neonates, assessing the lactate level alone would miss 346 (3.46%) cases (false negative) and wrongly diagnose 1776 (17.76%) cases (false positive). CONCLUSIONS Higher lactate levels are associated with a greater risk of mortality and morbidities in neonates. However, our results do not support the use of lactate as a screening test to identify adverse outcomes in newborns. Research efforts should focus on analyzing serial lactate measurements, rather than a single measurement.

Implementation of a Regional Oxygen Saturation Thought Algorithm and Association with Clinical Outcomes in Pediatric Patients Following Cardiac Surgery. Pediatr Cardiol 2022; 44:940-945. [PMID: 36512036 PMCID: PMC9745270 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-022-03071-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Near infrared spectroscopy is routinely used in the noninvasive monitoring of cerebral and somatic regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) in pediatric patients following surgery for congenital heart disease. We sought to evaluate the association of a bedside rSO2 thought algorithm with clinical outcomes in a cohort of pediatric patients following cardiac surgery. This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients admitted following cardiac surgery over a 42-month period. The intervention was the implementation of an rSO2 thought algorithm, the primary goal of which was to supply bedside providers with a thought aide to help identify, and guide response to, changes in rSO2 in post-operative cardiac surgical patients. Surgical cases were stratified into two 18-month periods of observation, pre- and post-intervention allowing for a 6-month washout period during implementation of the thought algorithm. Clinical outcomes were compared between pre- and post-intervention periods. There were 434 surgical cases during the period of study. We observed a 27% relative risk reduction in our standardized mortality rate (0.61 to 0.48, p = 0.01) between the pre- and post-intervention periods. We did not observe differences in other post-operative clinical outcomes such as ventilator free days or post-operative ICU length of stay. Providing frontline clinical staff with education and tools, such as a bedside rSO2 thought algorithm, may aide in the earlier detection of imbalance between oxygen delivery and consumption and may contribute to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
Objective Our primary objective study was to evaluate the association between near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and low cardiac output (LCO) in patients with single-ventricle physiology after stage 1 palliation. Methods In this retrospective study, infants ≤6 months of age with single-ventricle physiology who underwent stage 1 palliation were included. Cerebral and renal NIRS values at various time intervals after surgery were compared between patients with low and normal cardiac output. LCO within the first 48 after surgery was defined as per the pediatric cardiac critical care consortium database. NIRS values were also compared with other adverse outcomes such as cardiac arrest, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and mortality. The receiver operative characteristic curve was generated to determine an optimal cut-off NIRS value for detecting LCO. Results Ninety-one patients with median (Interquartile range) age of 10 days (6-26) and weight of 3.3 kg (3-3.5) were included in the study. Cerebral NIRS at 1 h (41.2 vs. 49.5; P = 0.002), 6 h (44 vs. 52.2; P = 0.001), and 12 h (51.8 vs. 56; P = 0.025) was significantly lower in the grouP with LCO compared to no LCO. Cerebral NIRS at 6 h was independently associated with LCO (P = 0.018), and cerebral NIRS at 6 h ≤57% had 91% sensitivity and 72% specificity to detect LCO. Conclusions Cerebral NIRS ≤57% at 6 h after surgery detected LCO after stage 1 palliation in single-ventricle patients. Cerebral or renal NIRS was not associated with adverse outcomes and therefore, may not be useful in predicting adverse outcomes in this population.

Abstract
Physiologic-based management of hemodynamic instability is proven to guide the logical selection of cardiovascular support and shorten the time to clinical recovery compared to an empiric approach that ignores the heterogeneity of the hemodynamic instability related mechanisms. In this report, we classified neonatal hemodynamic instability, circulatory shock, and degree of compensation into five physiologic categories, based on different phenotypes of blood pressure (BP), other clinical parameters, echocardiography markers, and oxygen indices. This approach is focused on hemodynamic instability in infants with normal cardiac anatomy.Conclusion: The management of hemodynamic instability is challenging due to the complexity of the pathophysiology; integrating different monitoring techniques is essential to understand the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and formulate a physiologic-based medical recommendation and approach. What is Known: • Physiologic-based assessment of hemodynamics leads to targeted and pathophysiologic-based medical recommendations. What is New: • Hemodynamic instability in neonates can be categorized according to the underlying mechanism into five main categories, based on blood pressure phenotypes, systemic vascular resistance, and myocardial performance. • The new classification helps with the targeted management and logical selection of cardiovascular support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is the most common complication after cardiac surgery, which is associated with the extension of postoperative hospital stay and postoperative death in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Although there are some studies on the risk factors of LCOS in children with CHD, an unified conclusion is lack at present. PURPOSES To synthesize the risk factors of LCOS after CHD in children, and to provide evidence-based insights into the early identification and early intervention of LCOS. METHODS The databases of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science were searched for relevant articles that were published between the establishing time of each database and January 2022. Based on retrospective records or cohort studies, the influencing factors of postoperative low cardiac output in children with congenital heart disease were included in Meta analysis.This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The risk of bias was evaluated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RevMan 5.4 software was used to conduct the meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 1,886 records were screened, of which 18 were included in the final review. In total, 37 risk factors were identified in the systematic review. Meta- analysis showed that age, type of CHD, cardiac reoperation, biventricular shunt before operation, CPB duration, ACC duration, postoperative residual shunt, cTn-1 level 2 h after CPB > 14 ng/ml and postoperative 24 h MR-ProADM level > 1.5 nmol/l were independent risk factors of LCOS. Additionally, the level of blood oxygen saturation before the operation was found to have no statistically significant relationship with LOCS. CONCLUSION The risk factors of postoperative LCOS in children with CHD are related to disease condition, intraoperative time and postoperative related indexes, so early prevention should be aimed at high-risk children.

Front Pediatr 2022; 10:894125. [PMID: 35832576 PMCID: PMC9271890 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.894125] [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: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with various outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery has been studied extensively. However, the role of NIRS in the prediction of cardiac arrest (CA) in children with heart disease has yet to be evaluated. We sought to determine if a model utilizing regional cerebral oximetry (rSO2c) and somatic oximetry (rSO2s) could predict CA in children admitted to a single-center pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 160 index CA events for patients admitted to our pediatric CICU between November 2010 and January 2019. We selected 711 control patients who did not have a cardiac arrest. Hourly data was collected from the electronic health record (EHR). We previously created a machine-learning algorithm to predict the risk of CA using EHR data. Univariable analysis was done on these variables, which we then used to create a multivariable logistic regression model. The outputs from the model were presented by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS We created a multivariable model to evaluate the association of CA using five variables: arterial saturation (SpO2)- rSO2c difference, SpO2-rSO2s difference, heart rate, diastolic blood pressure, and vasoactive inotrope score. While the SpO2-rSO2c difference was not a significant contributor to the multivariable model, the SpO2-rSO2s difference was. The average SpO2-rSO2s difference cutoff with the best prognostic accuracy for CA was 29% [CI 26-31%]. In the multivariable model, a 10% increase in the SpO2-rSO2s difference was independently associated with increased odds of CA [OR 1.40 (1.18, 1.67), P < 0.001] at 1 h before CA. Our model predicted CA with an AUROC of 0.83 at 1 h before CA. CONCLUSION In this single-center case-control study of children admitted to a pediatric CICU, we created a multivariable model utilizing hourly data from the EHR to predict CA. At 1 h before the event, for every 10% increase in the SpO2-rSO2s difference, the odds of cardiac arrest increased by 40%. These findings are important as the field explores ways to capitalize on the wealth of data at our disposal to improve patient care.

Abstract
Background It’s necessary to analyze the related risk factors and complications of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) after operation in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), to elucidate the management strategy of LCOS. Methods CHD children admitted to the department of cardiology in our hospital from January 15, 2019 to October 31, 2020 were included. The personal and clinical data of CHD children with LCOS and without LCOS were collected and compared. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the risk factors of postoperative LCOS. Besides, the complication and mortality of LCOS and no LCOS patients were compared. Results A total of 283 CHD patients were included, the incidence of postoperative LCOS in CHD patients was 12.37%. There were significant differences in the age, preoperative oxygen saturation, two-way ventricular shunt, duration of CPB and postoperative residual shunt between two groups (all p < 0.05). Logistic regression analyses indicated that age ≤ 4y(OR2.426, 95%CI1.044 ~ 4.149), preoperative oxygen saturation ≤ 93%(OR2.175, 95%CI1.182 ~ 5.033), two-way ventricular shunt (OR3.994, 95%CI1.247 ~ 6.797), duration of CPB ≥ 60 min(OR2.172, 95%CI1.002 ~ 4.309), postoperative residual shunt (OR1.487, 95%CI1.093 ~ 2.383) were the independent risk factors of LCOS in patients with CHD (all p < 0.05). There were significant differences in the acute liver injury, acute kidney injury, pulmonary infection, tracheotomy, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay and mortality (all p < 0.05), no significant difference in the 24 h drainage was found(p = 0.095). Conclusion LCOS after CHD is common, more attentions should be paid to those patients with age ≤ 4y, preoperative oxygen saturation ≤ 93%, two-way ventricular shunt, duration of CPB ≥ 60 min, postoperative residual shunt to improve the prognosis of CHD patients.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been available in research and clinical practice for more than four decades. Recently, there have been numerous publications and substantial developments in the field. This article describes the clinical application of NIRS in relation to current guidelines, with a focus on pediatric and cardiac anesthesia. It discusses technical and physiological principles, pitfalls in clinical use and presents (patho)physiological influencing factors and derived variables, such as fractional oxygen extraction (FOE) and the cerebral oxygen index (COx). Recommendations for the interpretation of NIRS values in connection with influencing factors, such as oxygen transport capacity, gas exchange and circulation as well as an algorithm for cardiac anesthesia are presented. Limitations of the method and the lack of comparability of values from different devices as well as generally accepted standard values are explained. Technical differences and advantages compared to pulse oxymetry and transcranial Doppler sonography are illuminated. Finally, the prognostic significance and requirements for future clinical studies are discussed.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used to monitor tissue oxygenation in the pediatric cardiac surgical population. Clinicians who use NIRS must understand the underlying measurement principles in order to interpret and use this monitoring modality appropriately. The aims of this narrative review are to provide a brief overview of NIRS technology, discuss the normative and critical values of cerebral and somatic tissue oxygen saturation and the interpretation of these values, present the clinical studies (and their limitations) of NIRS as a perioperative monitoring modality in the pediatric congenital heart disease population, and introduce the emerging and future applications of NIRS.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based monitoring of regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2) is becoming more commonplace in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). While increasing evidence supports rSO2 monitoring, actual standards for applying this noninvasive bedside technique continue to evolve. This review highlights the current strengths and pitfalls surrounding practical NIRS-based monitoring in the neonatal population. The physiologic background of rSO2 monitoring is discussed, with attention to understanding oxygen delivery/consumption mismatch and its effects on tissue oxygen extraction. The bedside utility of both cerebral and peripheral rSO2 monitoring in the NICU is then explored from two perspectives: (1) disease/event-specific "responsive" monitoring and (2) "routine," continuous monitoring. Recent evidence incorporating both monitoring approaches is summarized with emphasis on practical applicability in the NICU. Finally, a future paradigm for a broad-based NIRS monitoring strategy is presented, with attention towards improving personalization of neonatal care and ultimately enhancing long-term outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the value of perioperative cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring using variability analysis in the prediction of neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Urban, academic, tertiary-care children's hospital. PATIENTS Neonates undergoing surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass for congenital heart disease. INTERVENTIONS Perioperative monitoring of continuous cerebral tissue oxygenation index by near-infrared spectroscopy and subsequent neurodevelopmental testing at 6, 15, and 21 months of age. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We developed a new measure, cerebral tissue oxygenation index variability, using the root mean of successive squared differences of averaged 1-minute cerebral tissue oxygenation index values for both the intraoperative and first 24-hours postoperative phases of monitoring. There were 62 neonates who underwent cerebral tissue oxygenation index monitoring during surgery for congenital heart disease and 44 underwent subsequent neurodevelopmental testing (12 did not survive until testing and six were lost to follow-up). Among the 44 monitored patients who underwent neurodevelopmental testing, 20 (45%) had abnormal neurodevelopmental indices. Patients with abnormal neurodevelopmental indices had lower postoperative cerebral tissue oxygenation index variability when compared with patients with normal indices (p = 0.01). Adjusting for class of congenital heart disease and duration of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, lower postoperative cerebral tissue oxygenation index variability was associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcome (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS We found reduced postoperative cerebral tissue oxygenation index variability in neonatal survivors of congenital heart disease surgery with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. We hypothesize that reduced cerebral tissue oxygenation index variability may be a surrogate for impaired cerebral metabolic autoregulation in the immediate postoperative period. Further research is needed to investigate clinical implications of this finding and opportunities for using this measure to drive therapeutic interventions.
