CARDIAC ANAESTHESIA Weaning From Cardiopulmonary Bypass By: Mohamed R. El Tahan, M.D Lecturer of Anaesthesia&Surgical ICU 2006
Objectives • To understand: • Pathophysiology of weaning from CBP. • Grouping of patients during weaning from CBP. • Preparation for weaning from CBP. • Discontinuation of CBP. • Difficult weaning from CBP.
Introduction ☼Weaning Off CBP is: ► Simple process, that may occasionally prove very difficult or virtually impossible. ►Period of potential stress for the heart. ►Time of planned action among the cardiac operating team. ►Critical time. ►The time that the anaesthetist must be patient & well communicable with both the surgeons &the perfusionist. Souza&Elias (1997), andVegas (2000)
Pathophysiology Cardiopulmonary Bypass is associated with various insults to normal physiology. Activationof complement. ElectrolyteDisturbances. ▲Cathecholamines. Vasopressin Release. Platelet Activation. CardiacArrest. Haemodilution. Anticoagulation. Hypothermia. SIRS Moyers & Tinker (1989)
Pathophysiology Recovery Pattern: ☻Following separation from CBP, ventricular function improves initially, but then begins to worsen & reaches a nadir between 4-6hrs after surgery with full recovery occurring around 24 hrs post – operatively. ☻However, in patients withpre – operative ventricular dysfunction, the depression of ventricular function is more severe& recovery is longer. Preop. CBP end Post CBP hours Graphic illustration of myocardial performance following CBP changes Royster(1993)
Grouping Of Patients Majority ■Group(A): • No difficulties to remove from CPB. • ±Slow infusion of inotropes/V.D. ■Group(B): • Mild to Moderate dysfunction. • Physiological (Starling’s law) orPharmacological (inotropes,vasoactive) • support. ■Group(C): • Poor or No cardiac action. • Aggressive Pharmacological support or Prolonged Mechanical support. Souza&Elias (1997)
Preparation For Weaning [1.] Responsiveness. ☻Requirements of analgesic,narcotic and paralyzing drugs usually increase during re warming and the necessary adjustments are made to avoid awareness or the increase of the oxygen demand withavoidance of myocardial and circulatory depressant agents. Hemmings & Thomas (1993)
Preparation For Weaning [2.] Rewarming. ►Temperature changes. ☻CPB is accompanied by heat loss even when hypothermia is not employed. ☻Re-warming should be initiated as early as necessary so that its completion coincides with completion of the surgical procedure or soon afterwards. ►Monitoring. ☻Patient temperature is monitored in atleast two sites such as: ☼Nasopharyngeal. ☼Esophageal. ☼Rectal. ☼Bladder. ☼Tympanic.
Preparation For Weaning [2.] Rewarming. ►Goals. ☻Nasopharyngeal(36.5–37 C○). ☻Rectal(37 C○). ☻Bladder(35–37 C○). ☻Toe(>30 C○). ►A larger than 4C○ gradient between the nasopharyngeal and rectal temperatures is indicative of inadequate re – warming or increased vasoconstriction. ►This may predispose the patients to unstable cardiac, rhythm, shiveringandincreased SVR.
Preparation For Weaning [2.] Rewarming. ►After Drop Phenomenon. ♦ 2 – 3C○decrease in nasopharyngeal temperature during sternal closure and transfer to ICU. ♦This may be attributed to redistribution of heat within the body as the normal pulsatile blood flow opens up some relatively colder and constricted vascular beds. ♦This may be corrected with: ☻Aslow infusion of nitroprusside or other vasodilators may provide a more homogenous re warming. ☻High CBP flow. ☻Pulsatile flow. Hemmings & Thomas (1993) Williams et al (1993)
Preparation For Weaning [3.] Adequacy of anticoagulation. ☻The recovery of the metabolic functions speeds the elimination of heparin with re–warming, so , activated clotting time (ACT) should repeated more frequently at normothermia and additional 100u.Kg-1 of heparin may be needed to maintain ACT >480 seconds.
Preparation For Weaning [4.] Reperfusion. ☻Regardless of the myocardial protection strategy and method used,even short periods of aortic cross–clamping can be followed by temporary functional depression. ☻Most hearts will benefit from a period of rest(reperfusion time) after releasing the aortic cross – clamp toreplenish myocardial ATP stores andwashout metabolitesfrom the coronary circulation. ☻Partial bypass may help to eliminate untowardpulmonaryV.C. ☻An average of15to 20minutesof supportive CPB will usually provide a good recovery timefor eachhourof clamping time. Moyers & Tinker (1989)
Preparation For Weaning [5.] Electrolytes. POTASSIUM: ◙Potassium has pronounced effects on cardiac conduction. HYPERKALEMIA ◙Hyperkalemia during cardiac surgery may be caused bycardioplegia, haemolysis,acidosis,massive depolarization of muscle, andtissue cell death. ◙After adoption of blood cardioplegia a higher potassium level is more commonly seen at the end of perfusion. ◙High potassium level may be responsible for the presence of aheart blockorbradycardia. Hemmings & Thomas (1993)
Preparation For Weaning [5.] Electrolytes. POTASSIUM: ◙Potassium has pronounced effects on cardiac conduction. HYPERKALEMIA ●Mild hyperkalemiarepresented by a serum level of 6 mEq/L will not require special treatment and resolve spontaneously. ●Severe hyperkalemiarepresented by a serum level > 6 mEq/L: ▄ Treatment :■ Frusemide:[3,10,30,300 mg]. ■1.0 gm glucose per kilogram and 1 unit of regular insulin per 4.0gm of glucose administered. ■ CaCl2:[1 – 2gm]. ■NaHCO3:[50mEq].
Preparation For Weaning [5.] Electrolytes. POTASSIUM: ◙Potassium has pronounced effects on cardiac conduction. HYPOKALEMIA ●Hypokalemia if present should be treated to avoid the risks of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. ●Hypokalemia may be caused by haemodilution with non–potassium priming solutions,diuresis,orincreased sympathetic tone during nonpulsatile perfusion. ●Hypokalemia predisposes to atrial arrhythmias, ventricular ectopy, anddigitalis toxicity. ▄ Treatment :■ KCL 5 –10mEq. Cheung&Chernow(1991)
Preparation For Weaning [5.] Electrolytes. CALCIUM: ◙Ionized calcium levels usually decrease during CPB and appear to recoverfast thereafter. ◙Evidence suggests that calcium influx during ischemia – reperfusion contributes to myocardial dysfunction after CPB.
Preparation For Weaning [5.] Electrolytes. CALCIUM: CaCl2:☻ Indications:►Valvural surgery. ►Pediatric surgery. ☻ Time:After reperfusion time or>8 minutes. ☻ Dose:10 – 15mg.Kg -1. ☻ Advantages:* ++ SVR. * Correction of ionized hypocalcaemia. *Correction of hyperkalemia. ☻ Drawbacks:*Ischemic cellular injury. *Coronary artery spasm. * IMA graft spasm. * Post – operative pancreatitis. *Blunt the responseto epinephrine & dobutamine. Prielipp & Butterworth (1997)
Preparation For Weaning [5.] Electrolytes. MAGNESIUM: ◙Magnesium,essential to the normal electro–mechanical function of myocardial cells, has an important role in protecting the myocardium against the damaging effects of intracellular accumulation of Ca++. ◙Exogenous Mg++ has been considered in the management of cardiac dysrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and for improving myocardial performance after cardioplegic arrest.
Preparation For Weaning [5.] Electrolytes. MAGNESIUM: MgSo4 : ☻ Dose: 50mg. Kg -1. ☻ Advantages:* Magnesiumprevents hypomagnesaemia in 1stpost – operative day. * less need for pacing,inotropes, & defibrillation during separation from CPB. * Magnesium inhibits platelet function. *Magnesium has neuroprotective effects as proved by reduced incidence of neurocognitive dysfunction in post – CABG. Gathwala(2001)
Preparation For Weaning [6.] Optimizaion of oxygen delivery. • HAEMATOCRIT: • ◙ Haemodilution is universally used as an adjunct to CBP. • ◙Haematocrit values from 20 to 25% are usual with most perfusion • protocols. • ◙By the end of re warming, depending on renal function and the use • of diuretics haematocrit may reach24 to 30%. • ◙Hearts with severe preoperative myocardial dysfunction will perform • better immediately after termination of CPB with a haematocrit • level above 34%. • ◙Red blood cells transfusion during re – warming may be necessary • to adjust the haematocrit prior to discontinuing perfusion.

Preparation For Weaning [6.] Optimizaion of oxygen delivery. B.Tissue oxygenation: ◙ A progressive disparity develops between arterial & mixed venous blood gases with regard to both acid-base status and oxygenation. ◙ Optimum ABGs will best reflect the adequacy of the oxygenator performance. ◙ Mixed venous blood gases analysis is well correlated to the adequacy of the tissues perfusion. ◙ Inadequate tissue perfusion & oxygenation is manifested by increased lactate production,decreased pH, decreasedSvO2and PvO2. ◙ A SvO2 of 75% and a minimum venous PvO2of 35mmHg are satisfactory to start weaning from CPB.

Preparation For Weaning [6.] Optimizaion of oxygen delivery. C.Cardiac output: ◙Assessment of cardiac functionimmediately prior to discontinuing perfusion is usually performed by: ☻Direct visualization: Simple visual observation of heart contraction and relaxation may provide valuable information on myocardial performance. ☻PAC. ☻TEE.

C.Cardiac output: DO2=1.34xHb [gm.dl-1]xSaO2 x COP • Heart Rate & Rhythm: A- Asystole/ Heart block: ►Frequently, temporarily A.V block is found at the end of CBP because of pre–existing heart block, K+ cardioplegia & ischemic insult during aortic cross–clamping. (1.) Correction of hyperkalemia:CaCl2:(1−2g). Insulin (10U)± Glucose (40gm). Fursemide: (1,3,0,100 mg). NaHCO3: (50mEq). (2.) Atropine(2-2.5mg /70KgBWT). (3.) Temporary Epicardial Pacing:Types: A−V sequential,Ventricular. Pacing Rate: 80– 100Bpm. (4.) Isoproterenol(0.01 −0.1 μg.Kg-1.min-1).

C.Cardiac output: DO2=1.34xHb [gm.dl-1]xSaO2 x COP • Preload: ●●Preload is indirectly evaluated byventricular filling pressures. ◙Left ventricular preloadis inferred from the left atrial mean pressure or pulmonary artery diastolic pressure. ◙Right ventricular preloadis inferred from the right atrial pressure.
Preparation For Weaning [6.] Optimizaion of oxygen delivery. C.Cardiac output: DO2=1.34xHb [gm.dl-1]xSaO2 x COP • Preload: ►During weaning preload is pump– dependent and can be adjusted by balancing blood volume between patient and oxygenator. ►If there isenough volumein the pump it will come off CPB. ►In theabsence of sufficient volume, the perfusionist may administer additionalblood,PRBCs,colloidsorcrystalloids. ►It is preferred to givebloodandblood productsthrough a peripheral lineto avoid trauma to cells associated with the pump.

Preparation For Weaning [6.] Optimizaion of oxygen delivery. C.Cardiac output: DO2=1.34xHb [gm.dl-1]xSaO2 x COP • Contractility: ☻The usual situation is represented by a mild and very transient functional impairment shortly followed by resumption of effective cardiac action. ☻Most patients tolerate a relatively low B.P [SBP60–80 mmHg]for 3–5minutes and often it is a short time before the patient’s heart begins to function well without inotropes. Vegas (2000)
Preparation For Weaning [7.] Ventilation. ►The lungs should be re – expanded with 2 – 3breaths to a peak pressure of 30 – 40 cmH2O with visual confirmation of bilateral lung expansion. ►This may help removal of trapped air in the pulmonary veins. ►Vaporizers are turned off 15–30minutes prior to termination of CBP as agents may take a long time to clear from the pump circuit, particularly the oxygenator. Vegas (2000)
Preparation For Weaning [8.] Monitors. ►All pressure transducers are zeroed. ►There is frequently discrepancy between the radial arterial pressureand the centralaortic pressure, though the pressures gradually equilibrate over 10 – 30minutes. ►When a clinician is unsure of the blood pressure during separation from CPB, direct measurement of central aortic blood pressure, femoral arterial pressure,oscillometric, aortic line of the CPB circuit,anddigital palpationis advised. Vegas (2000)
Preparation For Weaning [9.] Venting of arterial air. ●Cardiac Chambers,air could be evaluated byTEE. ●Aorta. ●Saphenous graft. ●Head – down position. ●Carotid Artery Compression. Miller (2000)
Termination of CBP * Decreasing venous return to the pump. ☻The venous line is partially occluded by the surgeon or perfusionist and the patient’s heart is allowed to fill. ☻Watch the filling pressures and observe the right heart filling. ☻Try not to overfill the heart, even if the systemic blood pressure appears low, as over distension impairs ventricular contractility and subendocardial blood flow which may predispose to mitral regurgitation. Vegas (2000)
Termination of CBP * Decreasing pump flow into the aorta. ☻As the heart ejects blood flows through the aorta, the aortic pump flow is lowered by 0.5 –1.0 L.minute-1. ☻If the heart function is expected to be good, the venous line is clamped and the heart weaned from CPB quickly. Vegas (2000)
Termination of CBP * Termination bypass. ☻The venous line is completely clamped and the aortic pump head is turned off.*Rapid weaning:if good myocardial function. *Slow weaning:if poor myocardial function. ☻If needed, additional volume in increments of 50–100cc to optimize the preload with the aid of head – up position±venodilators. ☻Low preloadmay be due to: a.Continued volume redistribution due to vasodilatation. b.Changes in ventricular diastolic compliance. c.Ongoing bleeding in the chest. ☻Following CPB try to maintain an optimal SBP of 90–120mmHg. ☻Monitor adequacy of systemic perfusion by observing patient colour, urine output and absence of acidosis. Vegas (2000)
Termination of CBP * After discontinuation of CBP. ☻Surgical control of major bleeding. ☻Decanulation of venous cannulae. ☻Decannulation of aortic cannula. ☻Reversal of anticoagulation. ☻Maintenance of circulating volume. ☻Maintenance of adequate coagulation. ☻Haemodynamic adjustment. ☻Anaesthesia. ☻Transfer to CVICU.

Difficult Weaning Off CBP ☻Factors of Difficult Weaning from CBP: 1. Aortic cross clamp time>120minutes. 2. Incomplete surgical repair: ►Valve replacement:a. small size. b. Failed prosthetic valve. c. Failed native repair. ►Incomplete revascularization:a. Graft failure [kink, debris,air]. b. Small vessels. c. Distal disease. 3. Inadequate myocardial protection: a.Non – systolic ECG. b.Prolonged ventricular fibrillation prior to aortic–cross clamp and un–clamping. c.Warm myocardium: due to* LVH [incomplete cardioplegic protection]. * High grade coronary stenosis. * Choice of graft order. * Non – coronary collateral flow. * Poor LV venting. 4.
