Abstract

Aims: Among patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, the cardiac index (CI) is frequently reduced even among those without a clinically apparent shock. The purpose of this study is to describe the mixed venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide gradient (CO2 gap), a surrogate of perfusion adequacy, among patients with acute PE undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.

Methods and results: This was a single-centre retrospective study of consecutive patients with PE undergoing mechanical thrombectomy and simultaneous pulmonary artery catheterization over a 3-year period. Of 107 patients, 97 had simultaneous mixed venous and arterial blood gas measurements available. The CO2 gap was elevated (>6 mmHg) in 51% of the cohort and in 49% of patients with intermediate-risk PE. A reduced CI (≤2.2 L/min/m2) was associated with an increased odds [odds ratio = 7.9; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.49-18.1, P < 0.001] for an elevated CO2 gap. There was an inverse relationship between the CI and the CO2 gap. For every 1 L/min/m2 decrease in the CI, the CO2 gap increased by 1.3 mmHg (P = 0.001). Among patients with an elevated baseline CO2 gap >6 mmHg, thrombectomy improved the CO2 gap, CI, and mixed venous oxygen saturation. When the CO2 gap was dichotomized above and below 6, there was no difference in the in-hospital mortality rate (9 vs. 0%; P = 0.10; hazard ratio: 1.24; 95% CI 0.97-1.60; P = 0.085).

Conclusion: Among patients with acute PE undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, the CO2 gap is abnormal in nearly 50% of patients and inversely related to the CI. Further studies should examine the relationship between markers of perfusion and outcomes in this population to refine risk stratification.

混合静脉-动脉二氧化碳阶差与急性肺栓塞患者心脏指数之间的关系
背景:在接受机械血栓切除术的急性肺栓塞(PE)患者中,心脏指数(CI)经常会降低,即使是临床上未出现明显休克的患者也是如此。本研究旨在描述接受机械血栓切除术的急性肺栓塞患者的混合静脉-动脉二氧化碳梯度(CO2间隙),这是灌注充分性的替代指标:这是一项单中心回顾性研究,研究对象是连续接受机械血栓切除术并同时接受肺动脉导管检查的 PE 患者,为期 3 年:结果:在 107 名患者中,97 名患者同时进行了混合静脉和动脉血气测量。51%的患者和49%的中危 PE 患者二氧化碳间隙升高(>6 mmHg)。CI降低(≤2.2 L/min/m2)与几率增加(OR = 7.9; 95% CI 3.49-18.1, p 6 mmHg)有关,血栓切除术可改善二氧化碳间隙、CI和混合静脉血氧饱和度。当二氧化碳间隙高于和低于6时,院内死亡率没有差异(9% vs. 0%;P = 0.10,HR:1.24;95% CI:0.97-1.60;P = 0.085):结论:在接受机械血栓切除术的急性 PE 患者中,近 50% 的患者二氧化碳间隙异常,且与 CI 成反比。进一步的研究应检查该人群中灌注标记物与预后之间的关系,以完善风险分层。
