Protection strategies during cardiopulmonary bypass: ventilation, anesthetics and oxygen Carlos Ferrando, Marina Soro, and Francisco J. Belda
Purpose of review To provide an update of research findings regarding the protection strategies utilized for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), including perioperative ventilatory strategies, different anesthetic regimens, and inspiratory oxygen fraction. The article will review and comment on some of the most important findings in this field to provide a global view of strategies that may improve patient outcomes by reducing inflammation. Recent findings Postoperative complications are directly related to ischemia and inflammation. The application of lungprotective ventilation with lower tidal volumes and higher positive end-expiratory pressure reduces inflammation, thereby reducing postoperative pulmonary complications. Although inhalation anesthesia has clear cardioprotective effects compared with intravenous anesthesia, several factors can interfere to reduce cardioprotection. Hyperoxia up to 0.8 FiO2 may confer benefits without increasing oxidative stress or postoperative pulmonary complications. During the early postoperative period, inhalation anesthesia prior to extubation and the application of preventive noninvasive ventilation may reduce cardiac and pulmonary complications, improving patients’ outcomes. Summary Lung-protective mechanical ventilation, inhalation anesthesia, and high FiO2 have the potential to reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing CPB; however, larger, well powered, randomized control trials are still needed. Keywords anesthetics, cardiac surgery, mechanical ventilation, oxygen
INTRODUCTION Postoperative complications, such us postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) [1 ], cardiac complications [2 ], and infection [3 ], appear in almost all patients who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). These complications can range in severity from reversible to fatal, increasing morbidity and mortality. Although many mechanisms are involved, these complications are directly related to the inflammatory response. Inflammation during CPB occurs through a two-insult process: the first insult is caused by the surgical procedure itself, with many different inflammatory triggers such as CPB, ischemia, and surgical trauma [4–7]. The second insult is caused by mechanical ventilation [8]. During CPB, numerous strategies have been oriented to reduce the two-insult inflammation, including lung-protective ventilation, a variety of anesthetic regimens, lung perfusion during CPB, off-pump CPB, and different oxygen inspiratory concentrations. The knowledge and application of &

these strategies may improve patients’ outcomes. This review is focused on three strategies directly related to anesthesia management: ventilation, choice of anesthetic, and oxygen.

KEY POINTS Postoperative complications in patients undergoing CPB are directly related to the inflammatory response. A ventilatory strategy that includes protective tidal volumes, higher PEEP levels, ventilation during CPB, and pre-emptive NIV may reduce inflammatory response, thereby decreasing postoperative complications. Although inhalation anesthesia is currently recommended for cardioprotection during cardiac surgery, interference with other drugs and RIPC should be considered. The use of high FiO2 (up to 0.8) decreases oxidative stress related to IRI and does not increase PPCs.
[11,12]. Mechanical forces such as stress caused by repeatedly opened and closed alveoli (atelectrauma) and strain caused by high transpulmonary pressures (overdistension) cause an inflammatory response known as biotrauma [13–17]. The inflammatory response is favored during CPB by the absence of ventilation or disconnection from the ventilatory circuit [18]. Although larger randomized control trials (RCTs) involving patients undergoing CPB are needed, lung-protective ventilatory strategy, including protective tidal volume, higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), recruitment maneuvers, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), low tidal volume during CPB, and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) during the immediate postextubation period, may help to attenuate inflammation and PPC.
Lung-protective mechanical ventilation Tidal volume of 6–8 ml/kg predicted body weight (PBW) has been considered protective in high-risk postoperative respiratory failure patients [19 ,20 ]. However, the evidence suggests that in cardiac surgery patients with healthy lungs, a tidal volume of 10 ml/kg or less should be considered protective. Chaney et al. [21] demonstrated that a tidal volume of 6 ml/kg improved postoperative lung mechanics and shunt fraction compared with 12 ml/kg. Recently, Lellouche et al. [22] observed during the multivariate analysis of a prospective study, including 3434 patients, that a tidal volume greater than 10 ml/kg is an independent risk factor for prolonged intubation, hemodynamic instability, renal failure, and length of stay in an ICU. However, studies comparing 6 versus 10 ml/kg did not reveal differences in the inflammatory response [23], or revealed minimal differences in response [24]. &&

Wrigge et al. [24] measured lower plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a with 6 ml/kg than with 10 ml/kg after 6 h of ventilation, but without differences in the other cytokines measured [interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and interferon (IFN)-g]. Clinically, this is demonstrated as a lack of differences in oxygenation, lung mechanics, and time to extubation [23–25]. All of these studies employed identical PEEP (5 cmH2O) without recruitment maneuver. Atelectasis and atelectrauma during general anesthesia and the positive effects of PEEP have been widely reported in the literature. In cardiac surgery patients, significant differences in the inflammatory response are associated with different PEEP levels. Although Koner et al. [23] did not observe differences in plasma cytokines (IL-6, TNF-a) between 5 and 0 cmH2O after only 2 h of mechanical ventilation, Zunpancich et al. [26] reported a lower inflammatory response (IL-6 and IL-8) with 10 cmH2O than 2–3 cmH2O. Similar results were observed by Reis Miranda et al. [27,28], demonstrating that a strategy of 10 cmH2O PEEP and recruitment maneuver compared with 5 cmH2O PEEP without recruitment maneuver decreased inflammation and improved the functional residual capacity (FRC) and oxygenation, at least during the first 72 h after CPB. Borges et al. [29 ] and Dongelmans et al. [30] observed that 10 cmH2O improved oxygenation and lung mechanics in comparison with 5 and 8 cmH2O during the immediate postoperative period. However, a standardized PEEP level may not be the best strategy; individualized PEEP, which has demonstrated benefits during lung resection [31 ], may be an alternative. Recruitment maneuver to open closed-alveoli increasing transpulmonary pressure has been associated with the benefits of reduced atelectasis and improved oxygenation and respiratory function [28,32,33]. When and how recruitment maneuvers are performed may be important to improve benefits. Reis Miranda et al. [27] showed that an early (postintubation) recruitment maneuver reduces inflammation better than a late (after surgery) recruitment maneuver, probably because the lungs are exposed to mechanical stress for a shorter time. Meanwhile, recruitment maneuver with low transpulmonary pressures or inadequate postrecruitment maneuver PEEP level could render the maneuvers unsuitable, conferring no benefits [34]. &

artificial surface of the bypass circuit, ischemia– reperfusion injury (IRI) of the lung, and atelectasis of the nonventilated lung. Schreiber et al. [35] analyzed the effects of different lung-protective ventilatory strategies in a meta-analysis. The use of CPAP [36], recruitment maneuvers [34], or low-tidal volume [37,38] ventilation during CPB decreases inflammation and improves oxygenation, shunt fraction, and lung mechanics; however, these effects last for a limited period, without evidence of a significant impact on the clinical outcome [35]. Because the lungs are only oxygenated through alveolar diffusion and vascular perfusion, these results could be improved with a combined strategy of ventilation and perfusion during CPB. Thus, combining ventilation with lung perfusion may be more helpful for lung protection.

death [49,50 ,51 ]. From this body of knowledge, many studies have been oriented to develop effective strategies to minimize IRI.
Ischemic preconditioning Ischemic preconditioning is currently performed using remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), which consists of applying short episodes of ischemia and reperfusion to noncardiac tissues [52]. The literature is well populated with ‘proof-of-concept’ articles, indicating that RIPC may provide myocardial protection for cardiac surgery patients [53–59]. Three meta-analyses published in 2014 included RCTs that compared RIPC with placebo (no RIPC) in the presence or absence of other myocardialprotective measures: Chai and Liu [60 ] (n ¼ 976 participants), Yang et al. [61 ] (n ¼ 1235 patients), and a report by The Remote Preconditioning Trialists’ Group [62 ] that included 23 trials. These meta-analyses conclude that RIPC may reduce cardiac biomarkers, but concede a lack of evidence that such a change has a significant impact on the clinical outcome [53–59,60 –62 ]. It is interesting to note that groups were anesthetized with either inhaled agents or propofol, and no subanalysis was reported. &&
&&
Noninvasive ventilation Multiple factors favor atelectasis during the postoperative period. Pre-emptive NIV should be applied in selected patients at high risk of postoperative respiratory failure [39 ]. NIV has not demonstrated clear effectiveness once respiratory failure is established [40 ]. Many studies have reported benefits with the use of pre-emptive CPAP or NIV for oxygenation [41–44], with reported reductions in atelectasis [43,44], PPCs [43–47], reintubation rates, ICU readmissions, and hospital and ICU length of stay [44–47]. &&
&&
ANESTHETICS Myocardial IRI impairs heart function during the early postoperative period. However, an endogenous protective reaction to IRI is known [48]: repeated episodes of brief myocardial ischemia have a protective effect against a subsequent ischemic insult. The molecular mechanisms underlying ischemic preconditioning (IPC) are not completely known. In summary, preconditioning is triggered by cytokines and chemokines, which are released by myocardial cells in response to ischemia (or I/R). These signals activate several signaling pathways, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other mediators that share common goals: to stabilize the mitochondrial membranes and to inhibit the opening of ATP-sensitive potassium ion channels [mitochondrial permeability transition pores (mPTP)]. The process of reperfusion leads to an abrupt rise in oxidative stress, with acute increases in ROSproducing damage to the cell membrane. This produces severe Ca2þ accumulation, which induces opening of the mPTP, which, in turn, causes damage to the mitochondrial membrane, resulting in cell

Myocardial conditioning with anesthetics Inhaled agents provide protection when administered before (preconditioning) and after (postconditioning) myocardial ischemia. Several cellular mechanisms have been proposed with similarities to preconditioning. During reperfusion, the cardioprotective mechanism of inhaled agents prevents oxidative stress and attenuates Ca2þ overload by acting on mPTP [63,64 ,65 ]. Propofol has antioxidant properties that may confer a cardioprotective effect by reducing the total amount of ROS [66,67] without interacting with the mPTP. &
&
Clinical evidence Two meta-analyses with nearly 3000 patients showed that compared with propofol, inhaled agents significantly decrease postoperative cardiac biomarkers, increase cardiac output, and decrease inotrope use, mechanical ventilation time, and hospital length of stay without beneficial effects on the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and mortality [68,69]. Two additional meta-analyses [70,71] revealed significant reductions of in-hospital mortality and in-hospital MI. Similar results [72–74] have been observed since then, with some exceptions [75 ,76]. Finally, a recent meta-analysis [77 ]

Cardiovascular anesthesia
that included 3996 patients [41% total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and 59% inhaled agents] showed that the use of inhaled agents reduced mortality at the longest follow-up available. Looking at the continuous evidence that inhaled agents provide cardioprotection, the current guidelines of the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association recommend a ‘volatile-based anesthesia’ for cardiac surgery procedures (class IIa, level of evidence A) [78]. With a perspective for future assessment, an important study in off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgical patients [79] has demonstrated that sevoflurane and propofol elicit differential genomic responses for cardioprotection. The studied gene expression predicted the effects on postoperative cardiac function. Interference and synergy It seems reasonable that two conditioning stimuli should induce more consistent cell protection overall. Zhou et al. [80 ] have posed a very interesting question, analyzing important factors that affect cardioprotection by RIPC. In an 1155-patient meta-analysis that confirmed the cardioprotective effect of RIPC, a univariate meta-regression analysis and multivariate regression and subgroup analyses showed that cardioprotection may be attenuated when combined with b-blockers or inhaled agents. In addition, propofol interferes with cardioprotective, RIPC-activated signal transduction [81 ]. ROS are necessary to induce ischemia and inhaled agent preconditioning. It is possible that propofol may interfere with preconditioning by eliminating ROS. In this sense, clinical evidence indicating that propofol may abolish the RIPC stimulus has been confirmed in several CABG surgery studies [82,83] in which RIPC during isoflurane, but not during propofol, decreased postoperative myocardial damage (cardiac troponin I levels). In a recent and very well designed clinical trial (n ¼ 329 patients) [84 ] that compared RIPC with a lack of RIPC while intentionally avoiding propofol in most patients, RIPC provided perioperative myocardial protection. As a secondary outcome (underpowered), improvement in all-cause mortality was observed. As complementary evidence, a recent RCT (n ¼ 1280 patients) [85 ] compared RIPC with a lack of RIPC, maintaining anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil. No significant differences were observed between RIPC (pre and postreperfusion) and no RIPC regarding a composite of major adverse outcomes. Similar effects of interference with IPC have been suggested for inhaled agents [86]. A final point is to ascertain whether the propofol-scavenging effect during reperfusion could &&
act synergistically with inhaled agents. This type of synergy has been shown in a study of 120 patients divided into four groups, which concluded that joint isoflurane preconditioning and propofol affect the CPB anesthesia regimen and synergistically attenuate myocardial IRI [87]. Other modes of interference It seems that multiple patient-related factors may influence the extent of myocardial IRI during cardiac surgery, interfering with cardioprotective strategies. These factors have been described previously [49,88], and include genetic susceptibility, age, male sex, and diabetes, diminishing the cardioprotective benefits of anesthesia [89].
Anesthetics during the postoperative period Three RCTs have compared the potential beneficial effects of sedation with sevoflurane versus propofol on markers of myocardial injury (troponin T) in the ICU after CPB [90,91 ,92 ]. All showed that administration of sevoflurane in the ICU is feasible and simple using the AnaConDa device (Sedana Medical, Sweden), and it decreased myocardial injury markers compared with patients who only received sevoflurane intraoperatively; however, administration only during surgery or in the ICU was a better option than TIVA. &

OXYGEN Today, oxygen (O2) is recognized as a drug with which to treat patients. Dying from hypoxemia is such a clear concept that doctors provide supplemental O2 to any patient at minimal risk of hypoxemia as a matter of course. This has entailed the use of high FiO2 (from 0.5 to 1.0) during cardiac anesthesia since its inception [93], and this practice continues in many operating rooms. In fact, recommended practice is to set FiO2 at 0.8 at the initiation of CPB and to decrease it to 0.6–0.7 during hypothermia [94]. Myocardial IRI was recognized very early, and the use of supplemental O2 in clinical practice was not questioned. At the same time, lung and myocardial injury has been attributed to high FiO2 through impairment of the innate defense response by decreasing receptors in cells, increasing ROS, and many other phenomena that have suggested that perioperative hyperoxia is potentially harmful [95]. Details of the molecular mechanisms that cause such damage are perfectly reviewed in a recent publication on hyperoxia-induced lung injury (HALI) [96 ]. Most hyperoxia experiences that result in HALI are lethal experiences with exposure to 1.0 FiO2 for several &&

days, although exposure to 1.0 FiO2 for up to 4 days tends to result in sublethal injury. Most of them were realized in animals with normal lungs and spontaneous breathing or injurious mechanical ventilation. In fact, some studies suggest that high tidal volume and hyperoxia have either an additive or a synergistic effect that accentuates alveolar cell death. Furthermore, recent animal studies suggest that lung-protective ventilation may substantially reduce additional risks from hyperoxia. They conclude that in the absence of high-stretch mechanical ventilation, the risk of HALI is minimal with FiO2 0.6 or less; the risk probably begins when FiO2 exceeds 0.7, and likely becomes progressively more problematic when FiO2 exceeds 0.8 for an extended period. PEEP, precise control over FiO2, and protective mechanical ventilation have substantially reduced the risk of HALI for the vast majority of patients who require mechanical ventilation. A second point is that tissue hyperoxia decreases oxidative stress related to I/R with a preconditioning effect related to an increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes. This has been demonstrated in studies in which hyperoxia (normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen therapy) appears to be an effective therapy for IRI of the heart, brain, small intestine, testes, and liver [97–102]. This effect has been demonstrated in our patient group during colon surgery [103], and the same effect was observed in patients undergoing lobectomy in a current ongoing study [104]. As far as we know, there is only one clinical study of 56 patients undergoing CPB that is evaluating the effect of arterial oxygen tension during reperfusion on cardiac IRI biomarkers [105]. All patients received 0.7 FiO2 during CPB, and FiO2 was lowered to 0.5 (normoxic group) from the last administration of warm cardioplegia to 1 min after aortic unclamping. FiO2 was then raised back to 0.7. This did not affect postoperative myocardial enzyme release or the short-term prognosis. Third, 0.8 FiO2 during anesthesia (and 2–4 h postoperative) has been shown to reduce surgical site infection (SSI) in many surgical procedures [106 ] with an SSI risk reduction of 23% for all surgeries combined [107]. Although it cannot be taken as a definitive review, the effect of perioperative 0.8 FiO2 on SSI has been confirmed recently [108 ,109]. These results may also apply to cardiac surgery, because the rationale for proposing hyperoxia as a factor in SSI prevention is well established [110]. Neutrophils safeguard against infection through nonspecific phagocytosis, and the elimination of bacteria depends on oxygen tension in subcutaneous tissue, which can be doubled with supplemental oxygen. &&
&
Fourth, although hyperoxia leads to changes in cardiovascular function, the reduction in cardiac output is not a direct myocardial depressant effect of oxygen; rather, it is a response to increased systemic vascular resistance [111]. This increase was only observed after bypass and entailed reductions in peripheral tissue oxygenation [112]. Although hyperoxemia clearly increases global oxygen delivery and oxygen saturation in mixed venous blood, oxygen consumption declines during CPB. This effect is not associated with improved tissue perfusion [113]. However, the clinical effects of these changes remain unclear. Finally, in spite of the common assertion that supplemental perioperative oxygen increases atelectasis or other pulmonary complications after surgical procedures, several reviews indicate that this is not true [106 ]. However, no study was performed on cardiac surgery patients. The PROXI trial, which included 1382 patients after abdominal surgery, showed that perioperative hyperoxia increased mortality after a median followup of 2.3 years [114]; however, the analysis of noncancer surgical patients revealed no differences in mortality. Similarly, a mortality study of 36 307 consecutive mechanically ventilated ICU patients showed that high arterial oxygen partial pressure during the first 24 h and FiO2 administration were independently associated with in-hospital mortality [115]. However, a new review of 152 680 ventilated ICU patients [116] demonstrated an association between hypoxia (but not hyperoxia) and increased in-hospital mortality during the first 24 h. &&
CONCLUSION In patients undergoing CPB, postoperative complications are mainly related to inflammation. Although lung-protective mechanical ventilation using tidal volume less than 10 ml/kg PBW with higher PEEP levels, ventilation during the CPB procedure, and the use of pre-emptive NIV have been shown to improve patients’ outcomes, larger, well powered RCTs are needed. Inhaled agent is currently recommended by the guidelines because it has a clear cardioprotective effect, and improves relevant outcomes after cardiac surgery compared with TIVA. However, propofol or IPC might interfere significantly with cardioprotection by inhaled agents, which suggests that they should not be used concomitantly during anesthesia. The administration of hyperoxia in the operating room should be approached with the same risk–benefit assessment as any other drug. In general, we think that today it seems wise to continue to administer high FiO2 during cardiac anesthesia because of its

B-blockers and volatile anesthetics may attenuate cardioprotection by remote preconditioning in adult cardiac surgery: a metaanalysis of 15 randomized trials. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2013; 27:305– 311. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the factors affecting cardioprotection by RIPC in adult cardiac surgery. Fifteen trials with a total of 1155 patients were included. This meta-analysis also confirmed the cardioprotection conferred by RIPC, and that the cardioprotective effect may be attenuated when combined with b-blockers or volatile anesthetics. 81.
