As newer anesthesia ventilators are developed their capabilities are becoming more similar to intensive care unit (ICU) ventilators. However, in situations where there is severe decrease in lung compliance, an ICU ventilator may be superior in its ability to regulate inspiratory flow improving both ventilation and oxygenation. We present a case where an ICU ventilator was brought to the operating room and used in the treatment of ARDS post-cardiopulmonary bypass and ultimately allowed us to avoid extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy.

Does methylene blue improve outcomes in patients with post-cardiac surgery vasoplegic syndrome?
Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac Surg
December 2024
Department Cardiothoracic Surgery, Gold Coast University Hospital, Southport, QLD, Australia.
Objectives: A best evidence topic was written according to a structured protocol described in ICVTS. The question addressed was 'In patients with vasoplegic syndrome following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, does adjunctive methylene blue improve outcomes including reduced mortality, morbidity and vasopressor requirements?'
Methods: Ovid Medline was searched using a reported search algorithm. Articles that represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question were selected, tabulated and discussed.

Renal chloride metabolism is currently poorly understood but may serve as both a diagnostic and a treatment approach for acute kidney injury. We investigated whether plasma chloride, ammonia and glutamine as well as urinary chloride, ammonium and glutamine concentrations may serve as markers for acute kidney injury in paediatric patients. We conducted a prospective observational trial in a tertiary care paediatric intensive care unit.

Background: Patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergo the comprehensive stage 2 procedure as the second stage in the hybrid approach toward Fontan circulation. The complexity of comprehensive stage 2 procedure is considered a potential limitation, and limited information is available on its anesthetic management. This study aims to address this gap.

The kidney is vulnerable to ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury that can be fatal after major surgery. Currently, there are no effective treatments for I/R-induced kidney injury. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut-derived metabolite linked to many diseases, but its role in I/R-induced kidney injury remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Reduced thrombin generation after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can lead to bleeding in surgical patients, leading researchers to compare the effectiveness of frozen plasma (FP) and four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) in replenishing coagulation factors.
- LEX-211 (FARES-II) is a phase 3 study that randomly assigns adult cardiac surgery patients to receive either 4F-PCC or FP to evaluate which is more effective in managing bleeding post-surgery, with a focus on whether 4F-PCC is non-inferior to FP.
- The study aims to enroll about 410 patients, with results expected by 2025, after receiving ethical approval from all participating institutions.
