Identical (!) definition in both papers• MAP < 50 mmHg • CVP < 5 mmHg, • PCWP < 10 mmHg• CI > 2.5 l/min/m2

• SVR < 800 dyn/s/cm-5

• vasopressor requirement

What is “Vasoplegic Syndrome Post CPB”?

„VPS“ ? -- or differential diagnosis:

- hypovolemia with good LV function ?

- hemodilution (crystalloid cardioplegia) ?

- central-peripheral AP gradient ?

- inodilator overdose ?

- SIRS ?

- a-v shunting (cirrhosis, dialysis) ?

- treatment defines diagnosis here ?

Levin et al Circulation. 2009;120:1664

Post-CPB vasoplegia (retrospectively !) defined as :• epi/norepi >150 ng kg-1 min-1; • dopamine >10 mgkg-1min-1; or• vasopressin > 4 U/h.

Vasoplegic syndrome after cardiac surgery

Definition ?

• Hypotension

• Cardiac output or

• Systemic vascular resistance

• Fluid and vasopressor requirement

Incidence ?

• 5% to 25% Levin et al. Circulation. 2009 Oct 27;120(17):1664-71

I think both definition and incidence of VS are quite

subjective and „institutional“

• Hypotension: Wide differential Dx, see previous slide

• Cardiac output: at which preload ? O2 consumption?

• SVR: How low ? Supported by high SvO2, TEE ?

• Who determines „requirement“ ?

• Is 1-2 VS/week truly realistic ???

Who sees that in his/her practice ?

“Vasoplegia” in CABG, valve surgery (n=800): • None, 78%; mild, 14%; severe, 7.5% • No effect on hospital mortality • cause for delayed extubation and prolonged ICU LOS

Predictors in logistic regression analysis:• temperature and duration of CPB, • cardioplegic volume • reduced LVF• preoperative ACE-I treatment

Diese Arbeit zitieren sie alle nicht, obwohl gar nicht so schlecht:

Die Inzidenz ist nicht wirklich hoch (schwer = 7.5%, find ich realistisch)

Der Mortalitätseffekt ist bestimmt durch die Krankheitsschwere, nicht durch das „Syndrom“

Predictors: Alles Surrogat-Prädiktoren fürlange, grosse Eingriffe (CPB T/dur, Cardioplegie)bei kranken Pt(CHF-Therapie, schlechte EF)

WIKIPEDIA 2012 sagt:

„Methylenblau wurde erstmals 1876 von dem Chemiker Heinrich Caro bei der BASF synthetisiert.[1] Ein Jahr später erhielt die BASF für Methylenblau das erste Deutsche Reichspatent für einen Teerfarbstoff.

Um 1900 wurde Methylenblau auch als ein Medikament gegen psychische Erkrankungen versucht.“

WIKIPEDIA 2022 könnte lauten:

„Um 2000 wurde Methylenblau auch als ein Medikament gegen Alzheimer und verkorkste Herzchirurgie versucht …..“

Levin et al. Ann Thorac Surg 2004;77:496 –9

• Hypotension

• MAP < 50 mmHg

• CVP < 5 mmHg and PCWP < 10 mmHg

• CI > 2.5 l/min/m2

• SVR < 800 dyn/s/cm-5

• Vasopressor requirement

Levin benutzt wortwörtlich dieselbe VS-Definition wie Özal (derselbe Stall):

eigentlich handelt es sich nur um hypovoläme , hämodiluierte Pat mit guter systolischer Funktion, die unnötigerweise mit Vasopressor kosmetisiert wurden.

638 patients, 56 with vasoplegic syndrome

Randomization: 3 hours after arrival in the recovery room 1.5 mg/kg methylene blue

Also ehrlicherweise ein Vergleich 28 zu 28 Pt !UNBLINDED, inadequate randomization procedure („admission number“).

Levins 4% Mortalität in ihrer Low-Risk CABG/Valve Population (Control) ist grottenschlecht, international liegt das um 1-2 %.

Overall mortality was 27/638 patients (4.2%), 6 of these patients in the VS population (10.7%) versus 21 patients in the nonvasoplegic group (3.6%)

o Calcium channel blockers

o Heparine

• 1 hour preoperative 2 mg/kg methylene blue

SVR during cardiopulmonary bypass

Özal et al. Ann Thorac Surg 2005;79:1615–9

Mit kristalloider St Thomas Kardioplegie ( > 400 ml) ist so ein MAP Abfall an der ECC oder so ein SVR post ECC (wenn man nicht filtriert) völlig erwartbar, hier in 26%. Zudem waren alle Pt postCPB hypovoläm (CVP < 5, LAP < 10). Fazit: Massive Hämodilution (800-850 SVR) und Hypovolämie wurden in der einen Gruppe mit MB kosmetisiert, in der andern mit Nor, Crystalloid, Kolloid und EK.

In 6 % ihrer recht gesunden CABG-Pt (Nor-refractory) brauchten sie sogar Nor-Dosen von 0.5 mcg ·kg1 · min1 = 2100 mcg/h !!! Komplett abwegig.

Vergleichbare Pt bei uns (Eto-Studie) brauchen weder Nor noch MB, und nur 0-1 EK.

Und Özals 4% Mortalität in Low-Risk CABG ist wie Levins absolut unterirdisch, international liegt das um 1 %.

Korean J Anesthesiol 2012 August 63(2): 142-148

• Preoperative Prophylactic Methylene blue before CPB

• No differences in: MAP, MPAP, CI, PCWP, SVR

Need for vasopressor/inotrope

• Less erythrocyte/platelet concentrates Fewer PRBC

transfused, less FFP transfusion exposure with MB

Das ist der einzige kleine (21 vs 21) korrekt randomisierte und verblindete RCT, noch dazu in Pt mit etwas höherem Risiko:

-- und da kommt nix raus, ausser mean RBC reduction und Delta FFP-Exposure p = 0.049 !!!!

Several Two severely flawed (but abundantly cited) studies

showed postulate potential benefit in

treatment or prevention of vasoplegic syndrome,

one (underpowered) RCT found no benefit.

The rest are „great case“ reports and enthusiastic reviews.

Evidence good enough, for you ?

Özal und Levin: komplett wertlos als Evidenz: Unblinded, nicht korrekt randomisiert, ungeeignetes Low-Risk-Kollektiv, Fehldefinition des Syndroms und der Eingangskriterien, Outcomes in den Kontrollgruppen absolut substandard im internationalen Vergleich.

Cho: negatives Ergebnis (kein Benefit im primary endpoint „Nor-Reduktion“)

MB Indication in the Cardiac OR

Question:

After composite graft/hemiarch repair w/ DHCA,

• pt rewarmed, ventilated, partial ejection

• radial pressure 60/40, CVP 8, flow index 2.6 l/min/m2

• norepi running at 0.1 mcg/kg/min (400 mcg/h)

• surgeon wants to get off pump ---

• What do you do next ? Time for MB ?

MB Indication post CPB

• NONE

• Off-label:

o Reversal of Rescue in vasoplegic syndrome

(refractory to noradrenalin/vasopressin)

o Prevention of vasoplegic syndrome

• Problem:

Inconsistent definition of „vasoplegic syndrome“

Es gibt doch gar keine Zulassung, nicht mal eine Phase I Studie: Also gibt es keine Indikation.Und schon gar nicht prophylaktisch – das ist mE unethisch.

Data quality + safety

• Few flawed, underpowered RCTs

• Conflicting results (2 pos, 1 neg)

• Mainly case reports/case series/reviews

• No (not even) phase 1 studies

• Documented Adverse Effects (see slide 9)

• IMA contraction in clinically

achieved concentrationsUlusoy et al. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2008 Aug;22(4):560-4

Recommendation

• NO routine use of Methylene Blue

• Elective or prophylactic use:

exclusively within clinical trials

• Consider as „last resort“ option ONLY

There is no such thing as „MB deficiency“: if you think you need it,

better look for other serious problems in your practice first.

How We Do It• Identify vasoplegia risks:

• endocarditis, LVAD, cardiac Tx, LVEF < 30% on ACE-I, DHCA, long CPB runs

• use of inodilators (milrinone, levosimendan)

• (sepsis, hepatic cirrhosis, dialysis fistula etc)

• On CPB: monitor SVRI, if <1200 prior to wean:

• ultrafiltrate, treat metabolic acidosis, optimize Hct on CPB

• monitor central aortic pressure simultaneously with radial AP (may add femoral AP)

• CPB-wean: monitor filling pressures, TEE, svO2, (CI)

• optimize rate, rhythm, contractility per TEE

• optimize preload per TEE (adjust to RV function, LV diastolic dysfunction, LVOTO etc)

• If SVRI low, CI and SvO2 high: Optimize afterload by

stopping vasodilators, titrating vasopressors to normalize SvO2:

• 1° Noradrenalin to max 0.15 mcg/kg/min (~600 mcg/h)

• 2°Arginin-Vasopressin (AVP) 0.4 – 6 U/h (first to be weaned when pt improves)

• avoid shed blood reinfusion (use cell saver), avoid rapid FFP transfusion

oHigher number of RCTs

oVasoplegia due to relative AVP deficiencyColson et al. Critical Care 2011, 15:R255

oPossibly causal therapy
