Abstract
Background. The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) has been shown to correlate with right ventricular (RV) failure in patients with cardiac disease. However, the association of PAPi with right ventricular function following cardiac surgery is not yet established. Methods. PAPi and other hemodynamic variables were obtained postoperatively for 959 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The association of post-bypass right ventricular function and other clinical factors to PAPi was evaluated using linear regression. A propensity-score matched cohort for PAPi ≥ 2.00 was used to assess the association of PAPi with postoperative outcomes. Results. 156 patients (16.3%) had post-bypass right ventricular dysfunction defined by visualization on transesophageal echocardiography. There was no difference in postoperative PAPi based on right ventricular function (2.12 vs. 2.00, p=0.21). In our matched cohort (n = 636), PAPi < 2.00 was associated with increased incidence of acute kidney injury (23.0% vs 13.2%, p<0.01) and ventilator time (6.0 hours vs 5.6 hours, p=0.04) but not with 30-day mortality or intensive care unit length of stay. Conclusion. In a general cohort of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, postoperative PAPi was not associated with postcardiopulmonary bypass right ventricular dysfunction. A postoperative PAPi < 2 may be associated with acute kidney injury.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
