Anesthetic management for non-cardiac surgery in patients with left ventricular assist devices
Jeong-Jin Min, Yang Hyun Cho, Sangmin M. Lee, Jong-Hwan Lee
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):175-184.

With the growing number of patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and improved survival in this population, more patients with LVADs are presenting for various types of non-cardiac surgery. Therefore, anesthesiologists need to understand the physiology and adequately prepare for the perioperative management of this unique patient population. This review addresses perioperative considerations and intraoperative management for the safe and successful management of patients with an LVAD undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Understanding the basic physiology of preload dependency and afterload sensitivity in these patients is essential. The main considerations include a collaborative preoperative multidisciplinary approach, perioperative care aimed at optimizing the intravascular volume and right ventricular function, and maintaining...

Jae-Woo Ju, Taeyup Kim, Soo-Hyuk Yoon, Won Ho Kim, Ho-Jin Lee
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):185-194.

Background: We aimed to investigate the optimal surgical timing in patients with preoperative coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection to minimize postoperative morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 vaccination era. Methods: The Korean nationwide data on patients who underwent standard surgery under general anesthesia in 2021 were analyzed. Patients were categorized based on the time from COVID-19 diagnosis to surgery: 0–4, 5–8, > 8 weeks, and those without preoperative COVID-19 infection. Multivariable logistic regression analysis, considering preoperative COVID-19 vaccination status (fully vaccinated vs. unvaccinated or partially vaccinated), was performed to associate the...

Machine learning model of facial expression outperforms models using analgesia nociception index and vital signs to predict postoperative pain intensity: a pilot study
Insun Park, Jae Hyon Park, Jongjin Yoon, Hyo-Seok Na, Ah-Young Oh, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):195-204.

Background: Few studies have evaluated the use of automated artificial intelligence (AI)-based pain recognition in postoperative settings or the correlation with pain intensity. In this study, various machine learning (ML)-based models using facial expressions, the analgesia nociception index (ANI), and vital signs were developed to predict postoperative pain intensity, and their performances for predicting severe postoperative pain were compared. Methods: In total, 155 facial expressions from patients who underwent gastrectomy were recorded postoperatively; one blinded anesthesiologist simultaneously recorded the ANI score, vital signs, and patient self-assessed pain intensity based on the...

Frequency domain analysis of photoplethysmographic and arterial pressure waveforms for assessing hemodynamics in children with congenital heart surgery
Hwa-Young Jang, In-Kyung Song, Sung-Hoon Kim, Won-Jung Shin
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):205-216.

Background: Time-domain parameters are less reliable in children due to increased arterial and chest wall compliance. We assessed the ability of indices derived from frequency analysis of photoplethysmography (PPG) and arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveforms to predict the hemodynamic state in children undergoing congenital heart surgery. Methods: We analyzed waveforms after cardiopulmonary bypass period in 76 children who underwent total repair of congenital heart disease. Amplitude density of baseline and amplitude modulation in PPG and ABP by respiratory frequency were obtained using fast Fourier transform analysis and normalized by cardiac pulse...

Postoperative alterations in ventriculoarterial coupling are an indicator of cardiovascular outcomes in liver transplant recipients
Ji Yeon Kim, Young-Jin Moon, Changjin Lee, Jin Ho Kim, Junghyun Park, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):217-225.

Background: Liver transplantation (LT) increases the heart and vessel workload in patients with cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. While the interaction of the left ventricle (LV) with the arterial system (ventriculoarterial coupling, VAC) is a key determinant of cardiovascular performance, little is known about changes in VAC after LT. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between VAC after LT and cardiovascular outcomes. Methods: 344 consecutive patients underwent echocardiographic assessments before and within 30 days after LT. Non-invasive arterial elastance (Ea), LV end-systolic elastance (Ees), and LV end-diastolic elastance (Eed) were calculated. The postoperative outcomes included the development of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the length of stay in the intensive care unit and...

Association of preoperative blood glucose level with delirium after non-cardiac surgery in diabetic patients
Soo Jung Park, Ah Ran Oh, Jong-Hwan Lee, Kwangmo Yang, Jungchan Park
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):226-235.

Background: Hyperglycemia has shown a negative association with cognitive dysfunction. We analyzed patients with high preoperative blood glucose level and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level to determine the prevalence of postoperative delirium. Methods: We reviewed a database of 23,532 patients with diabetes who underwent non-cardiac surgery. Acute hyperglycemia was defined as fasting blood glucose > 140 mg/dl or random glucose > 180 mg/dl within 24 h before surgery. Chronic hyperglycemia was defined as HbA1c level above 6.5% within three months before surgery. The incidence of delirium was compared according to the presence of acute and chronic hyperglycemia. Results: Of the 23,532 diabetic patients, 21,585 had available preoperative blood glucose level within 24 h...

Effect of ultrafiltration on whole blood coagulation profile during cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery: a retrospective analysis
Jaemoon Lee, Dong-Kyu Lee, Won-Kyoung Kwon, Sookyung Lee, Chung-Sik Oh, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):236-245.

Background: Ultrafiltration (UF) would enhance coagulation profiles by concentrating coagulation elements during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for cardiac surgery. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of 75 patients who had undergone cardiac surgery with rotational thromboelastometry-based coagulation management in a university hospital and analyzed the UF-induced changes in the maximum clot firmness (MCF) of extrinsically activated test with tissue factor (EXTEM) during CPB in 30 patients. Results: The median volume of filtered-free water was 1,350 ml, and median hematocrit was significantly increased from 22.5% to 25.5%. As the primary measure,...

Association between De Ritis ratio and intraoperative blood transfusion in patients undergoing surgical clipping of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: a single center, retrospective, propensity score-matched study
Ji-Hoon Sim, Chan-Sik Kim, Seungil Ha, Hyunkook Kim, Yong-Seok Park, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):246-254.

Background: Although elective surgery for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) has increased, few studies have evaluated the risk factors for transfusion during UIA surgery. We evaluated the association between the preoperative De Ritis ratio (aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase) and the incidence of intraoperative transfusion in patients who had undergone surgical UIA clipping. Methods: Patients who underwent surgical clipping of UIA were stratified into two groups according to the preoperative De Ritis ratio cutoff levels (< 1.54 and ≥ 1.54), and the propensity score (PS)-matching analysis was performed to compare the incidence...

Learning with our peers: peer-led versus instructor-led debriefing for simulated crises, a randomized controlled trial
Morgan Jaffrelot, Sylvain Boet, Yolande Floch, Nitan Garg, Daniel Dubois, et al.
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024;77(2):265-272.

Background: Although peer-assisted learning is known to be effective for reciprocal learning in medical education, it has been understudied in simulation. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of peer-led compared to instructor-led debriefing for non-technical skill development in simulated crisis scenarios. Methods: Sixty-one undergraduate medical students were randomized into the control group (instructor-led debriefing) or an intervention group (peer debriefer or peer debriefee group). After the pre-test simulation, the participants underwent two more simulation scenarios, each followed by a debriefing session. After the second debriefing session, the participants underwent an immediate post-test simulation on the same day and a retention post-test simulation two months later. Non-technical skills for the pre-test, immediate...
