Item The Incidence and Risk Factors of Acute Kidney Injury After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation(2023) Atar, Funda; Sahinturk, Helin; Zeyneloglu, Pinar; Ozdemirkan, Aycan; 0000-0003-0159-4771; AAJ-1419-2021Objective: Left ventricular assist device surgery (LVAD) associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of cardiac surgery with 15-45% incidence. The study evaluated AKI in the early postoperative period after LVAD surgery using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria and compare patients with and without AKI to determine the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the medical records of all patients aged between 18 and 75 years who underwent LVAD implantation from January 2011 to December 2016 were reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups based on the development of AKI to analyze demographic features and perioperative variables. AKI was defined according to the KDIGO criteria. Results: Out of 57 patients, 10 (18%) were female, and the cohort's mean age was 44.6 +/- 16.1 years. Thirty-six patients (63%) developed AKI following LVAD implantation. Logistic regression analysis revealed the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), mean arterial pressure, and cumulative fluid balance on the first postoperative day as independent risk factors for AKI [odds ratio (OR): 1.013, confidence interval (CI) 95% 1.000-1.025, p=0.05; OR: 0.929, CI 95% 0.873-0.989, p=0.02; OR: 1.001, CI 95% 1.000-1.001, p=0.04 respectively]. Hospital mortality (58% vs. 24%, p=0.01) and 30-day mortality (39% vs. 5%, p=0.01) were significantly higher in patients who had AKI. Conclusion: Risk factors for the occurrence of AKI include a longer duration of CPB, lower mean arterial pressures, and higher cumulative fluid balance on the first postoperative day. Therefore, AKI is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality after LVAD.Item Multivariable haemodynamic approach to predict the fluid challenge response A multicentre cohort study(2021) Messina, Antonio; Romano, Salvatore M.; Ozdemirkan, Aycan; Persona, Paolo; Tarquini, Riccardo; Cammarota, Gianmaria; Romagnoli, Stefano; Della Corte, Francesco; Bennett, Victoria; Monge Garcia, Manuel I.; 32833857; AAH-7003-2019BACKGROUND Beat-to-beat stroke volume (SV) results from the interplay between left ventricular function and arterial load. Fluid challenge induces time-dependent responses in cardiac performance and peripheral vascular and capillary characteristics. OBJECTIVE To assess whether analysis of the determinants of the haemodynamic response during fluid challenge can predict the final response at 10 and 30 min. DESIGN Observational multicentric cohort study. SETTING Three university ICUs. PATIENTS 85 ICU patients with acute circulatory failure diagnosed within the first 48 h of admission. INTERVENTION(S) The fluid challenge consisted of 500 ml of Ringer's solution infused over 10 min. A SV index increase at least 10% indicated fluid responsiveness. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The SV, pulse pressure variation (PPV), arterial elastance, the systolic-dicrotic pressure difference (SAP-P-dic) and cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE) were measured at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 and 30 min after the start of the fluid challenge. All haemodynamic data were submitted to a univariable logistic regression model and a multivariable analysis was then performed using the significant variables given by univariable analysis. RESULTS The multivariable model including baseline PPV, and the changes of arterial elastance at 1 min and of the CCE and SAP-P-dic at 5 min when compared with their baseline values, correctly classified 80.5% of responders and 90.7% of nonresponders at 10 min. For the response 30 min after starting the fluid challenge, the model, including the changes of PPV, CCE, SAP-P-dic at 5 min and of arterial elastance at 10 min compared with their baseline values, correctly identified 93.3% of responders and 91.4% of nonresponders. CONCLUSION In a selection of mixed ICU patients, a statistical model based on a multivariable analysis of the changes of PPV, CCE, arterial elastance and SAP-P-dic, with respect to baseline values, reliably predicts both the early and the late response to a standardised fluid challenge.Item A Comparison of Echocardiography and the Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM) for Predicting Fluid Responsiveness after Passive Leg Raising(2021) Ozdemirkan, Aycan; Aitakhanoya, Manat; Gedik, Ender; Zeyneloglu, Pinar; Pirat, Arash; 0000-0002-7175-207X; ABI-2971-2020Objective: This study aims to assess the agreement between the cardiac index (CI) measured by pressure recording analytical method (PRAM) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) before and after the passive leg raise (PLR) maneuver. Methods: This is a prospective observational study in critically ill patients who were monitored with MostcareUp/PRAM (Vygon, Vytech, Padova, Italy). Cardiac index (CI) values and percent changes in CI values in response to PLR were recorded by TTE and PRAM. Results: Data of a total of 25 patients were collected. The median CI values that were calculated by TTE before and after PLR were 2.5 (1.2-4.7) L/min/m(2) and 2.9 (1.4-5.6) L/min/m(2), respectively. The median CI values that were calculated by PRAM before and after PLR were 2.5 (1.5-4.8) L/min/m(2) and 2.6 (1.7-5.7) L/min/m(2), respectively. There was significant correlations between the measured CI values both by TTE and PRAM before and after PLR (r=0.635, p=0.001 and r=0.610, p=0.001, respectively). The median percent changes in CI with TTE and PRAM were -0.13 (-0.7-0.4) and -0.11 (-0.5-0.5), respectively. Sixteen patients were determined as FR by TTE (64%) and 13 patients were determined as FR by PRAM (52%). The Kappa test showed moderate agreement between TTE and PRAM for predicting fluid responsiveness (k=0.595; p=0.002). The mean biases between the CI values measured by TTE and PRAM before and after PLR were 0.04 +/- 0.77 L/min/m(2) and 0.22 +/- 0.88 L/min/m(2), respectively. Conclusion: This study showed a significant correlation for CI values measured by both methods. For predicting fluid responsiveness there was agreement between the two methods after PLR.Item The Effect of Extensively Drug-resistant Infections on Mortality in Surgical Intensive Care Patients(2018) Sahinturk, Helin; Ozdemirkan, Aycan; Kilic, Fatma; Ozalp, Onur; Arslan, Hande; Zeyneoglu, Pinar; Pirat, ArashObjective: The aim of the study was to assess the outcomes of intensive care unit acquired extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacterial infections in a surgical patient cohort. Materials and Methods: The data of patients with XDR bacteria isolated at Baskent University Hospital, Anesthesia and Surgical Intensive Care Unit between January 2016 and December 2016 were reviewed retrospectively. Adult patients over 18 years of age who had undergone surgery within the first 24 hours and who developed intensive care unit infection 48 hours after admission to intensive care unit were included in the study. Results: All of the 341 patients who admitted to the surgical intensive care unit during the study period were underwent surgery within the first 24 hours. XDR bacterial infections were isolated in 30 out (9%) of these 341 patients. The mean APACHE II score was calculated as 18.5 +/- 5.3, and expected mean mortality rate of 35 +/- 17.1. The mean length of intensive care unit stay was 27.0 +/- 27.4 days, while the mean hospital stay was 49.0 +/- 34.3 days. The hospital mortality rate was found to be 57% (n=7). Conclusion: As a conclusion of our study, we found that XDR bacterial infections were common (9%) among intensive care surgical patients and their mortality rate was higher than their expected mortality rate according to their APACHE II scores calculated during intensive care unit admission (57% vs. 35%, respectively).
