Relation Between Cerebral Perfusion Changes and Mortality Scores During Cardiopulmonary Bypass at Adult Cardiac Surgery
Abstract
Introduction: This
study aims to investigate the correlation between cerebral perfusion changes
and mortality rate in individuals undergoing adult cardiac surgery.
Patients and Methods:
Between April 2018-August 2018, 91 adult individuals who underwent open heart
surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were prospectively evaluated.
Cerebral perfusion was monitored via near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The
NIRS values were recorded at four intervals: T0, just before CPB; T1, cooling
period (time taken to reach targeted hypothermia); T2, warming period (time
taken to reach normal body temperature); and T3, following minutes of
termination of CPB. Euro Score II and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health
Evaluation (APACHE) II scores were recorded for each individual.
Results: The
operations performed include coronary artery bypass surgery (n= 41, 45%),
valvular surgery (n= 47, 51%), and coronary artery bypass combined with
valvular surgery (n= 3, 4%). Median Euro Score II was calculated to be 1.1
(range 0.7-36.6), and median APACHE II score was calculated to be 6 (range
0-23). Mortality occurred in four individuals for whom the Euro Score II C
index was 0.702 (confidence interval, 0.411- 0.993; p= 0.048) and APACHE-II
score C index was 0.871 (confidence interval, 0.660-1; p= 0.010). During the
operative period, cerebral NIRS values decreased during T3 period, and
significant changes occurred at T0-T3 period, consequently leading to an
increase in the APACHE-II scores and the prediction of mortality.
Conclusion: The changes at NIRS values were related with higher mortality, morbidity, and predicting scores. It is now suggested that these changes can eventually be a good guide and predictor for the management of patients during preoperative and postoperative periods.
