BJA 2018 Mar;120(3):475-483 4 SHORT ABSTRACT Background Goal directed therapy, the utilisation of fluids and inotropes to optimise cardiovascular performance of tissue oxygen delivery during surgery, has been shown in small studies to reduce complications after major surgery. The OPTIMISE trial was conducted to see if this benefit of morbidity reduction seen with the use of goal directed therapy was replicated in a larger pragmatic trial. I hypothesised that there were potential barriers to the use of goal directed therapy under these conditions that may reduce the clinical effectiveness of this treatment approach. Methods This thesis is based on sub-studies of the OPTIMISE trial examining the difficulties in utilising goal directed therapy as a treatment that focused primarily on the administration of fluids via an algorithm and the effect of goal directed therapy on a specific complication. Acute kidney injury was chosen as an important postoperative complication that was directly affected by fluid administration. Results OPTIMISE did not demonstrate a statistically significant effect of a reduction in complications in a population of 732 high risk surgical patients receiving goal directed therapy. Compliance to the goal directed therapy algorithm was mostly good across seventeen hospital sites. The use of dynamic fluid markers was not shown to be beneficial as indicators of when to give fluid boluses in the perioperative period. Goal directed therapy did not protect against acute kidney injury in the high risk surgical population. There was no difference in the incidence of acute kidney injury in the goal directed therapy group and the usual care group as measured by standardised criteria and measured by a urinary biomarker. 5 Conclusions Goal directed therapy did not result in a significant reduction in complications in a high risk surgical population. However, there are some barriers to the use of goal directed therapy particularly the evidence base for the effectiveness of goal directed therapy and understanding the mechanisms, if any, by which goal directed therapy improves outcomes. Further work should focus on establishing supporting the current evidence base for goal directed therapy and seeking the mechanism by which this may improve outcomes. 6 SCIENTIFIC SUMMARY Background Major surgery initiates an inflammatory state that is not particularly well understood but if not appropriately managed can develop into complications that significantly impact the patient’s health. Alongside the immediate effects of complications arising from surgery, such as increased use of critical care resources and length of hospital stay, complications after surgery have also been associated with long term adverse effects including poorer quality of life and reduced survival. A predefined high risk surgical patient group accounts for a small amount of the surgery performed but for disproportionately large amount of post-operative morbidity and mortality. Targeting this group of patients with treatments designed to reduce morbidity and mortality has the potential to significantly to improve patient outcomes. The use of inotropes and fluid boluses to optimise cardiac output and thus oxygen delivery has been shown in small studies and subsequent meta-analyses to reduce complications in the high-risk surgical patient group undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. It is unclear how effective this therapy is in this surgical population outside the setting of small trials. My aim in this thesis was to establish the barriers to treatment of the high-risk patient group using goal directed therapy. Goal Directed Therapy This thesis uses data from the OPTIMISE trial. In this trial goal directed therapy did not lead to a statistically significant reduction in complications using a composite of all complications although there was a non-significant clinical effect noted in favour of goal directed therapy. The current evidence base suggests that goal directed therapy improves morbidity and mortality in an older high risk surgical population undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. There was a reduction in the overall 7 complication rate in the patient group receiving goal directed therapy and when this data were combined with those from other trials of goal directed therapy. In an updated meta-analysis the findings did suggest a benefit for those patients receiving goal directed therapy. There are potential confounders in bigger trials designed to reflect clinical practice including compliance with the algorithm, simplification of the algorithm leading to reduced clinical effectiveness, inconsistent fluid choice and if goal directed therapy using fluid and inotropes has a discrete effect on reducing organ injury. I decided to investigate any benefit in prevention of acute kidney injury as the next most likely organ to have a beneficial effect from goal directed therapy Compliance Compliance with the algorithm in the trial was measured by research staff supervising the intervention. Self-assessment was undertaken on all aspects of the intervention and deviations from protocols were noted in protocol deviation forms. I evaluated the ability of different hospitals to follow our prespecified goal directed therapy algorithm. Dynamic predictors of fluid responsiveness Fluid excess is associated with poor outcomes after major surgery. The OPTIMISE algorithm used stroke volume as the haemodynamic parameter that fluid challenges were given against. This potentially could lead to excess fluid administration as a fluid challenge is required to establish stroke volume responsiveness even in euvolemic patients. Dynamic parameters such as pulse pressure variation and stroke volume variation had been shown to provide a useful predictor of fluid responsiveness under specific, well-controlled conditions. I wished to evaluate the practical use of these parameters by 8 assessing their accuracy in predicting fluid responsiveness. Dynamic parameters were average to poor in their ability to predict fluid responsiveness in the OPTIMISE patient cohort. Acute Kidney Injury Previous work has suggested that goal directed therapy may have a beneficial effect on kidney injury. Acute

Forty required open heart surgery with 23 (57%) deaths. One hundred and seventy-four neonates underwent non-bypass procedures and could be divided into three groups: group 1 (82 patients) had inadequate pulmonary blood flow, group 2 (33 patients) had increased pulmonary blood flow or inadequate mixing, and group 3 (59 patients) had coarctation of the aorta, alone or with associated lesions. Forty-four (25 %) of the neonates undergoing non- bypass procedures died. Two required bypass surgery later in the first month of life.

Downloaded from Thorax 1982;37:887-892 Cardioplegia versus intermittent ischaemic arrest in coronary bypass surgery JR PEPPER, E LOCKEY, S CANKOVIC-DARRACOTT, MV BRAIMBRIDGE From the London Chest Hospital and Rayne Institute, St Thomas's Hospital, London ABSTRACT No definitive method of myocardial preservation has been established and conclusions based on experimental data may not be applicable to patients witq coronary artery disease. Fifty patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting were randomly assigned to one of two groups for myocardial preservation. In group A cold cardioplegia with external cardiac cooling was used and in group B ischaemic arrest with mild systemic cooling to 32°C. Myocardial preservation was assessed by analysis of enzymes specific to the heart, left ventricular biopsy, and electrocardiography. Equal protection of the myocardium was provided in both groups but the mean cross-clamp time in group A was significantly longer than in group B. This implies that cardioplegia confers greater protection than intermittent ischaemic arrest. Most cardiac surgeons use some form of cold excluded because interpretation of the perioperative cardioplegia to protect the heart during coronary ECG would not be standardised. All patients bypass grafting, but a minority prefer intermittent received the same anaesthetic regimen and were copyright. ischaemic arrest and obtain excellent clinical results. operated on by one surgeon.

O’Blenes, MDa,b,c Objectives: Aged hearts are particularly vulnerable to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Our objective was to determine if del Nido cardioplegia, which contains lidocaine, less blood, and less calcium than our standard cardioplegia, provides superior protection for aged hearts. We also sought to determine if the lidocaine in del Nido cardioplegia is adequate to prevent Naþ influx via the window current. Methods: Sodium channel kinetics were measured in rat cardiomyocytes with and without lidocaine. Recovery after 60 minutes of cardioplegic arrest was assessed in isolated working senescent rat hearts. Del Nido cardioplegia was delivered as a single dose (n ¼ 8) because it is used clinically, and standard cardioplegia was delivered as an induction dose with re-dosing every 20 minutes (n ¼ 8). After 20 minutes of reperfusion, hearts were switched to working mode for 60 minutes. Flows were indexed to ventricular dry weight. Troponin release was assayed. Results: Sodium channel kinetics indicated that the lidocaine concentration in del Nido cardioplegia minimizes the potential for Naþ influx via the window current. Spontaneous contractions occurred in fewer hearts arrested with del Nido cardioplegia (88% vs 13%; P ¼ .01), and troponin release was reduced (0.24 vs 0.89 ng/mL; P ¼ .017).

Abstract Objective This study aims to determine the impact of institutional volume on mortality in reoperative proximal thoracic aortic surgery patients using national outcomes data. Methods The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried from 1998 to 2011 for patients with diagnoses of thoracic aneurysm and/or dissection who underwent open mediastinal repair. A total of 103,860 patients were identified. A total of 1,430 patients had prior cardiac surgery. Patients were further stratified into groups by institutional aortic volume: low (<12 cases/year), medium (12–39 cases/year), and high (40þ cases/year) volume. Multivariable risk-adjusted analysis accounting for emergent status and aortic dissection among other factors was performed to determine the impact of institutional volume on mortality. Results Overall mortality was 12% in the reoperative population. When the redo cohort was divided into tertiles, high-volume group had a 5% operative mortality compared with 9 and 15% for the medium- and low-volume groups, respectively.
