Objectives

After 30 minutes, understand:

1. Pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension (PH)

2. Anesthetic management of PH

3. Strategies to prevent and treat a PH crisis

3

Case Scenario

• 18yr old, 70kg female with PH• Requires Broviac® catheter placement and lung biopsy• Last Echocardiogram report

– Tricuspid regurgitant (TR) jet 5m/sec (BP 110/70)– No PFO

• Patient’s medications– Epoprostenol sodium (Flolan®)– Sildenafil (Revatio®)– Bosentan (Tracleer®)– Aspirin– Nifedipine

Question

What is the degree of this patient’s PH?

1. Supra-systemic

2. Systemic

3. Sub-systemic

5

Definition: Pulmonary Hypertension

• mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg at rest • Normal mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP)≈15mmHg

– independent of age, gender, ethnicity

• During exercise mPAP increases slightly– dependent on age and level of exertion

• PVRI ≥ 3 Wood units m2

• In association with variable degrees of:• Pulmonary vascular remodeling • Vasoconstriction • In-situ thrombosis

Twite, Mark, MA, MB, BChir, FRCP CRASH 2015: Pulmonary Hypertensive Crisis

Case Scenario

• 18yr old, 70kg female with PH• Requires Broviac® catheter placement and lung

biopsy

• Last Echocardiogram report– TR jet 5m/sec (BP 110/45)– No PFO

• Patient’s medications– Epoprostenol sodium (Flolan®)– Sildenafil (Revatio®)– Bosentan (Tracleer®)– Aspirin– Nifedipine

ECHO: Systolic TR Velocity

Bernoulli Equation

sPAP = 4v2 + RAP

= 4(52) + 10

= 110 mmHg

Limitations:

• Need TR

• Assumes perfect alignment between Doppler and TR jet

Rich Chest 2011;139:988-993 8

Relationship between sPAP and mPAP

mPAP = (0.61 x sPAP) + 2 mmHg

sPAP > 40 mmHg highly suggestive PH

9Chemla Chest 2009;135:760-768

Definition: Pulmonary Hypertension

• mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg at rest • Normal mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP)≈15mmHg

• PVRI ≥ 3 Wood units m2

10Nef Heart 2010;96:552-559

Pulmonary Vascular Resistance

PVR = ΔP/flow

ΔP (TPG) = mPAP – LAP

PVR = mPAP – LAP/CO

11

Cardiac Cath: Gold standard

1. HemodynamicsPVR = mPAP – LAP / CONormal PVR 1-1.4 Wood units m2 (90 – 120 dynes/s/cm5)PH PVR > 3 Wood units m2 (240 dynes/s/cm5)Wood units x 80 = dynes/s/cm5

2. Vasoreactivity testingShort acting pulmonary vasodilator • iNO, IV adenosine

Drop in mPAP > 10 mmHgResponders (<10%) may benefit from calcium channel blockers

3. Rule out associated disease statesPulmonary vein disease

Twite, Mark, MA, MB, BChir, FRCP CRASH 2015: Pulmonary Hypertensive Crisis

Non-invasively monitor patients with PH?

• Right ventricle (RV) function– Ability of the RV to cope with progressive increase

in PA pressure

– Determines patient’s functional capacity and survival

• Other ECHO parameters (observer angle dependent):– TAPSE (Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion)

– Tei index

13

Increase of 0.1 in S:D ratio associated with 13% increase in yearly risk for lung transplant or death.

S:D ratio > 1.4 associated with worse:• RV function• hemodynamics• exercise capability• clinical status

• 3D + time

RV function indices correlate with PA pressures from right heart cath

Menon Clin Med Insights: Cardiology 2014:8

PH Classification: What increases mPAP?

PVR = mPAP – LAP/CO

mPAP = LAP + (CO x PVR)

1. LAP– LV systolic / diastolic dysfunction

– Mitral valve stenosis / regurgitation

2. CO– Congenital heart disease with L to R shunt

3. PVR– Pulmonary parenchymal disease

– Thromboembolic disease

With no PFO on ECHO, what may happen during an acute increase in PVR?

Physiology of Pulmonary Circulation

• Pulmonary vascular bed is a high-flow low-pressure circulation system

• Large cross sectional area

• High compliance arterioles with thin walls (less smooth muscle cells)

• Pressure and resistance are 10% of systemic circulation

• Sympathetic nervous system innervation

• Pulmonary arteries• Constrict with hypoxia (Euler-Liljestrand reflex) and relax with

hyperoxia

• Respond to changes in cardiac output and airway pressure

Ventilation strategy for PH:• Oxygen• Tidal volume 6ml/kg• Rate – mild hypocarbia• Optimum PEEP• Recruitment maneuvers• Drain pleural

effusions/pneumothorax

PVR changes with pH and PaO2

Discussion

What is your plan for induction of anesthesia?

Use the existing PIV?

Drugs?

40

PH: Goals of anesthetic management

1. Avoid increases in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR)

• Hypoxia, Hypercarbia, Metabolic acidosis

• Sympathetic stimulation secondary to noxious stimuli (endotracheal intubation, surgery, tracheal suctioning)

2. Avoid systemic hypotension • Decreases coronary artery blood flow leading to

myocardial ischemia and ventricular dysfunction

• A rapid increase in PVR to a point where PAP > SBP leads to RV failure especially if there is no PFO (or atrial septostomy)

41

Hemodynamic effects of anesthetic drugs

42

Twite, Mark, MA, MB, BChir, FRCP CRASH 2015: Pulmonary Hypertensive Crisis

Preparation

• iNO in the room– Set-up and working, weaning plan to avoid rebound PH

• Anesthesia drugs– 4% topical lidocaine spray for vocal cords

– Balanced technique

– Resuscitation drugs ready

• Communicate with surgeon– High risk patient

– Local anesthetic

• Post-op plan

• Communicate with PH team43

Pulmonary Hypertensive Crisis

• Pulse-oximetry desaturation Sats 70%

• Hypotensive BP 60/30

• Tachycardia Bradycardia HR 30

• ECG ST segment changes

Administer 100% O2

Hyperventilate

Exclude pneumothorax

Mean Airway Pressure

Correct metabolic acidosis

Administer pulmonary vasodilators

Analgesia

Support cardiac output

ECMO

Rationale / Therapy

↑PAO2 and PaO2 will ↓PVR

PVR is directly related to PaCO2

Optimize ventilation

Avoid Palv > Part

PVR is directly related to H+ level

iNO

Decrease sympathetic mediated PVR

Adequate preload, epinephrine, vasopressin

Support cardiac output and oxygenation46

Disposition and Follow-up

• Extubated and returned to the ICU

• Returned emergently to the OR 3 hours later– Bleeding via Chest Tube

– Hypoxic and hypotensive

47

Summary

• Knowledge & therapy of PH is an evolving field

• Patients with systemic PH are HIGH risk

• Goals for anesthesia in PH– Preparation

– Good airway management

– Balanced anesthetic drug technique
