  • New insights in cardiovascular anesthesia: a dual focus on clinical practice and research.

    Takahiro Tamura, Yusuke Yoshikawa, Satoru Ogawa, Mitsuru Ida, Naoyuki Hirata

    Journal of anesthesia    2024.10  [Domestic journal]

     View Summary

    Accumulation of the results of basic and clinical research has advanced the safety and quality of management in cardiovascular anesthesia. To address recent developments in this field, a symposium was held during the 71th Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists annual meetings in 2024, focusing on new advancements in both clinical and basic research in cardiovascular anesthesia. During this symposium, four experts reviewed recent findings in their respective areas of study, covering the following topics: clinical reliability and concerns regarding volatile anesthetics during cardiopulmonary bypass; novel basic and clinical findings regarding the cardioprotective effects of dexmedetomidine; advancements in optimizing blood and hemostasis management during cardiovascular surgery; and innovative strategies for managing postoperative cognitive disorders following cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. Each expert summarized recent novel findings, clinical reliability and concerns, as well as future directions in their respective topics. We believe that this special article provides valuable insights into both clinical practice and basic research in cardiovascular anesthesia while also inspiring anesthesiologists to pursue further research in this field.

  • Differences in circulating blood volume changes during emergence from general anesthesia in transcatheter aortic valve implantation and MitraClip implantation.

    Makishi Maeda, Yusuke Yoshikawa, Sho Ohno, Tomohiro Chaki, Michiaki Yamakage

    Journal of anesthesia   38 ( 4 ) 489 - 495  2024.08  [Domestic journal]

     View Summary

    PURPOSE: We aimed to compare changes in the circulating blood volume (CBV) during emergence from general anesthesia in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and MitraClip implantation. METHOD: We included 97 patients who underwent TAVI or MitraClip implantation. The primary outcome was the rate of change in the estimated CBV associated with emergence from general anesthesia. The secondary outcomes were hemoglobin and hematocrit values before and after emergence from anesthesia for each procedure. Additionally, the independent factors associated with changes in the estimated CBV were assessed using multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: In the TAVI group, the hemoglobin concentration increased from 9.6 g/dL before emergence from anesthesia to 10.8 g/dL after emergence (P < 0.001; mean difference, 1.2 g/dL, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-1.3 g/dL). Conversely, no statistically significant change was observed in the hemoglobin concentration before and after emergence from anesthesia in the MitraClip group. The mean rate of change in the estimated CBV was - 15.4% (standard deviation [SD] 6.4%) in the TAVI group and - 2.4% (SD, 4.7%) in the MitraClip group, indicating a significant decrease in the estimated CBV in the former than in the latter (P < 0.001; mean difference, 13.0%; 95% CI 9.9-16.1%). CONCLUSION: Emergence from general anesthesia increased the hemoglobin concentration and decreased the estimated CBV in patients undergoing TAVI but did not elicit significant changes in patients undergoing MitraClip implantation. These results may provide a rationale for minimizing blood transfusions during general anesthesia in patients undergoing these procedures.

     View Summary

    STUDY OBJECTIVE: It remains unclear whether it is the hypotension prediction index itself or goal-directed haemodynamic therapy that mitigates intraoperative hypotension. DESIGN: A single centre randomised controlled trial. SETTING: Sapporo Medical University Hospital. PATIENTS: A total of 64 adults patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery under general anaesthesia. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomly assigned to either group receiving conventional goal-directed therapy (FloTrac group) or combination of the hypotension prediction index and conventional goal-directed therapy (HPI group). To investigate the independent utility of the index, the peak rates of arterial pressure and dynamic arterial elastance were not included in the treatment algorithm for the HPI group. MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome was the time-weighted average of the areas under the threshold. Secondary outcomes were area under the threshold, the number of hypotension events, total duration of hypotension events, mean mean arterial pressure during the hypotension period, number of hypotension events with mean arterial pressure < 50 mmHg, amounts of fluids, blood products, blood loss, and urine output, frequency and amount of vasoactive agents, concentration of haemoglobin during the monitoring period, and 30-day mortality. MAIN RESULTS: The time-weighted average of the area below the threshold was lower in the HPI group than in the control group; 0.19 mmHg (interquartile range, 0.06-0.80 mmHg) vs. 0.66 mmHg (0.28-1.67 mmHg), with a median difference of -0.41 mmHg (95% confidence interval, -0.69 to -0.10 mmHg), p = 0.005. Norepinephrine was administered to 12 (40%) and 5 (17%) patients in the HPI and FloTrac groups, respectively (p = 0.045). No significant differences were observed in the volumes of fluid and blood products between the study groups. CONCLUSIONS: The current randomised controlled trial results suggest that using the hypotension prediction index independently lowered the cumulative amount of intraoperative hypotension during major non-cardiac surgery.

     View Summary

    Remimazolam is a newly developed ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine that exerts sedative effects. This study aimed to clarify the effects of remimazolam on cardiac contractility. In a randomised-parallel group trial, haemodynamic parameters were compared between propofol (n = 11) and remimazolam (n = 12) groups during the induction of general anaesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. In a preclinical study, the direct effects of remimazolam on cardiac contractility were also evaluated using isolated rat hearts. RNA sequence data obtained from rat and human hearts were analysed to assess the expression patterns of the cardiac γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA ) receptor subunits. In a clinical study, the proportional change of the maximum rate of arterial pressure rise was milder during the study period in the remimazolam group (propofol: -52.6 [10.2] (mean [standard deviation])% vs. remimazolam: -39.7% [10.5%], p = 0.007). In a preclinical study, remimazolam did not exert a negative effect on left ventricle developed pressure, whereas propofol did exert a negative effect after bolus administration of a high dose (propofol: -26.9% [3.5%] vs. remimazolam: -1.1 [6.9%], p < 0.001). Analysis of the RNA sequence revealed a lack of γ subunits, which are part of the major benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptor, in rat and human hearts. These results indicate that remimazolam does not have a direct negative effect on cardiac contractility, which might contribute to its milder effect on cardiac contractility during the induction of general anaesthesia. The expression patterns of cardiac GABAA receptor subunits might be associated with the unique pharmacokinetics of benzodiazepines in the heart.

     View Summary

    症例は67歳女性で、甲状腺腫瘍と腫瘍の気管内浸潤による最小径4mmの気管狭窄に対して、緊急気管切開術の目的で搬送された。麻酔管理上の問題点として術中の酸素化の維持、腫瘍からの出血に対する肺の保護、手術を容易にするための不動化の必要性が挙げられ、局所麻酔下での気管切開術は困難が予想された。そこで、術前に協議を行い、術中の酸素化維持および循環虚脱時の循環補助を目的として経皮的心肺補助併用下、気管挿管による全身麻酔を選択し、麻酔導入は急速導入とした。気道確保に際してはエアウェイスコープを併用し、ブジーを先行して気管チューブを挿入したところ、挿入時の抵抗はなく、挿管操作において明らかな出血は認めなかった。

     View Summary

    We studied differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs after DEX administration in rat hearts by comprehensive analysis. Additionally, bioinformatics analysis was applied to explore candidate genes and pathways that might play important roles in DEX-induced cardioprotection. The results of microarray analysis showed that 165 mRNAs and 6 miRNAs were differentially expressed after DEX administration. Through bioinformatics analysis using differentially expressed mRNAs, gene ontology (GO) terms including MAP kinase tyrosine/serine/threonine phosphatase activity and pathways including the p53 pathway were significantly enriched in the down-regulated mRNAs. On the other hand, no significant pathway was found in the target mRNAs of deregulated miRNAs. The results indicated some possible key genes and pathways that seem to be of significance in DEX-induced cardioprotection, although miRNAs seem to be unlikely to contribute to cardioprotection induced by DEX.
