Individual Blood Pressure Optimization Based on Cerebral Blood Flow Autoregulation After Implantation of Continuous-flow Left Ventricular Assist Device

This study will collect retrospective and prospective clinical data regarding the Principal Investigator's patient population to allow for data analysis seeking basic trends and to prepare academic reports, including journal manuscripts and presentations for scientific organizations.

Detailed Description

Preoperative data will be collected as the baseline information through chart review and patient interview before the surgery as follows: patient demographics, co-morbidities, medication, preoperative laboratory results, and preoperative vital signs.

Intraoperative data will be collected by chart review or monitor review as follows: type of implant device, concomitant procedures, length of surgery, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross clamp, blood products administered hemodynamic variables, and NIRS signals.

Postoperative data will be collected by chart review or monitor review as follows: medications, blood products administered, postoperative laboratory results, adverse events and operative mortality*, length of mechanical ventilation, length of inotrope administered, hemodynamic variables, length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, mortality, and NIRS signals.

Participants will receive routine standard institutional perioperative care that included invasive radial artery blood pressure monitoring. Participants will be connected to the NIRS monitor using sensor probes placed on the right and left sides of the forehead per routine clinical application. NIRS signal monitoring will be initiated before induction of general anesthesia in the operation room for collecting baseline data, and continued during LVAD implantation procedure. After implantation of LVAD, continuous NIRS monitoring will be carried out in the ICU until termination of the invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring.

For all participants enrolled in this study, all medical treatment which is provided will not deviate from the standard of clinical care, including surgery and other procedures as well as blood sample collection. The data will be reviewed routinely to seek trends. When needed to examine specific clinical issues, such as risk factors for a given complication, additional clinical data will be retrieved from the medical records. All data sets analyzed and used for presentations or publication will be anonymized to protect patient confidentiality. This study will be conducted indefinitely.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Individual optimal blood pressure change between before and after continuous-flow LVAD implantation determined by cerebral autoregulation monitoring with NIRS
Time Frame: From initiation of cerebral autoregulation monitoring in operation room until termination of the invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in ICU (up to 48 hours)
Using cerebral autoregulation monitoring method, the optimal blood pressure for maintaining cerebral blood flow (CBF) can be determined individually. The individual optimal blood pressure to maintain CBF autoregulation will be determined and assessing change between before and after implantation of continuous-flow LVAD.
From initiation of cerebral autoregulation monitoring in operation room until termination of the invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in ICU (up to 48 hours)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Extent of impairment of cerebral autoregulation in perioperative periods
Time Frame: From initiation of cerebral autoregulation monitoring in operation room until termination of the invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in ICU (up to 48 hours)
Using cerebral autoregulation monitoring method, the extent of impairment of cerebral autoregulation can be determined (AUCMAP: area under the curve of excursion of mean arterial pressure), which is calculated with magnitude (mmHg) and duration (hour) of mean arterial pressure (MAP) excursions below the individual optimal blood pressure to maintain cerebral autoregulation.
From initiation of cerebral autoregulation monitoring in operation room until termination of the invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in ICU (up to 48 hours)
Postoperative adverse events and operative mortality after continuous-flow LVAD implantation.
Time Frame: From implantation of continuous-flow LVAD until discharge of hospital (up to 4 weeks)
Postoperative adverse events including followings: 1) stroke; persistent neurological deficit >24 hours, 2) renal failure; new requirement for dialysis postoperatively or increase in creatinine to >2 mg/dL and 2 times greater than baseline, acute kidney injury; RIFLE criteria, 3) respiratory failure; mechanical lung ventilation >72 hours or requirement for tracheotomy, 4) right ventricular failure; requirement for right ventricular assist device, 5) operative mortality; all deaths that occur during the hospitalization in which the operation is performed, even if after 30 days, and deaths that occur after discharge from the hospital but within 30 days of the procedure, unless the cause of death was clearly unrelated to the operation.
From implantation of continuous-flow LVAD until discharge of hospital (up to 4 weeks)
