“The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has completely altered the healthcare landscape within a very short period owing to the rapid influx of patients requiring medical attention related to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection displacing patients needing other types of medical attention. Entire hospital systems were restructured to accommodate the intensive needs of patients with COVID-19, and hospital capacity was quickly overwhelmed in terms of actual space and the necessary personnel. Although routine care and elective procedures could be safely postponed, the resource-intensive pandemic limited the ability of hospitals to easily manage critical medical conditions such as acute aortic emergencies. The limitations put both patients and healthcare workers at risk by the potential for nosocomial transmission of the virus. In this issue of JTCVS, Mehta et al1 have presented a consensus algorithm for triaging and treating patients presenting with acute aortic emergencies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The algorithm aims to minimize the risk of exposure and transmission when treating patients in this emergent setting. The lessons learned in this pandemic should prepare us for a potential second wave or any future pandemics. – Link to article here

Tammy Sparacino Journal Club – Lower or Higher Oxygenation Targets for Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in the intensive care unit (ICU) are treated with supplemental oxygen, but the benefits and harms of different oxygenation targets are unclear. We hypothesized that using a lower target for partial pressure of arterial oxygen (Pao2) would result in lower mortality than using a higher target.
In this multicenter trial, we randomly assigned 2928 adult patients who had recently been admitted to the ICU (≤12 hours before randomization) and who were receiving at least 10 liters of oxygen per minute in an open system or had a fraction of inspired oxygen of at least 0.50 in a closed system to receive oxygen therapy targeting a Pao2 of either 60 mm Hg (lower-oxygenation group) or 90 mm Hg (higher-oxygenation group) for a maximum of 90 days. The primary outcome was death within 90 days.
At 90 days, 618 of 1441 patients (42.9%) in the lower-oxygenation group and 613 of 1447 patients (42.4%) in the higher-oxygenation group had died (adjusted risk ratio, 1.02; 95% confidence interval, 0.94 to 1.11; P=0.64). At 90 days, there was no significant between-group difference in the percentage of days that patients were alive without life support or in the percentage of days they were alive after hospital discharge. The percentages of patients who had new episodes of shock, myocardial ischemia, ischemic stroke, or intestinal ischemia were similar in the two groups (P=0.24).

Tammy Sparacino Journal Club:
“Commentary: Taking the next step in cardiopulmonary bypass management Cardiopulmonary bypass technology continues to advance. More sophisticated monitoring strategies could be beneficial in improving the outcomes of patients for whom open heart surgery is necessary.
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a system familiar to us all. Many of us use it virtually on a daily basis while we are going about the business of performing our jobs as surgeons. Although incredible advances in perfusion science have been made during the past several decades. It has struck me in recent years that despite the advances in technology of all sorts, our current heart-lung machines still seem relatively large, complicated masses of machinery and tubing that occupy a relatively large footprint in the cardiac operating room.”

Tammy Sparacino Journal Club: Preoperative C-reactive protein as a predictor of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. C-reactive protein is a well-known marker of inflammation and may be preoperatively elevated in the absence of infection in adult cardiac surgery patients, indicating a baseline inflammatory process. We conducted a literature search to assess the available evidence on whether there is an association between preoperative C-reactive protein and acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass grafting. Included only were observational studies which investigated this association.

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve surgery is an excellent technique to correct a problem with the valve that removes the risks associated with sternotomy.
However, the technique continues to require manipulation of the aorta, either by cross clamp or by endo balloon.
Joe discusses a novel approach to minimally invasive mitral valve surgery that eliminates the need to touch the aorta and substantially reduces stroke risk.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Department of CV Surgery: Faculty Forum Update on ECMO for COVID-19: What have we learned? Faculty: J. Hoffman, MD, Matt Warhoover, CCP, A. Lepore, CCP

Tammy Sparacino Journal Club: Early experience of pump-controlled retrograde trial off for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) in adult patients with cardiogenic shock. Pump-controlled retrograde trial off has recently been introduced as an effective method for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pediatric patients. However, studies on pump-controlled retrograde trial off in adults are still lacking. Thus, this study aimed to examine the outcomes of pump-controlled retrograde trial off for weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adult patients.
