1 Perioperative and Consultative Medicine Pamela J. Pride MD, FHM Medical University of South Carolina 2/7/2012

2 Overview Role of consultant Cardiac risk assesment Perioperative beta blockade Preop pulmonary assesment and postop risk reduction

3 Role of the Consultant Evaluate and optimize patient’s medical status Treat modifiable risk factors Estimate and manage cardiac risk Recommend measures to attenuate all perioperative complications

4 What Not to Do Recommend for or against surgery Tell anesthesiologists how to do their job Recommend the obvious “Clear” the patient Say nothing

5 Pre-operative Cardiac Risk Assessment To Stress or Not to Stress ACC/AHA guidelines

6 ACC Guidelines-Getting Started Define “Active Cardiac Syndromes” ACS HF (Class 4 or newly found) Significant arrhythmias (VT, symptomatic bradyarhythmias, rhythms requiring pacing, uncontrolled svts) Severe Valvular disorders (severe AS, symptomatic MS)

7 ACC Guidelines-Getting Started Define “Clinical risk factors” Prior MI CKD Hx of CHF DM CVA

8 ACC Risk Stratification for Surgery High: (cardiac risk >5%)- Emergency surgeries, aortic and major vascular, prolonged surgeries with large fluid shifts or blood loss Intermediate: (cardiac risk <5%)-CEA, ENT, intra peritoneal and intra thoracic, orthopedic, urologic Low: (cardiac risk <1%)-endoscopic, superficial, breast, cataract

9 Metabolic Equivalents What is 4 mets? Walking 3 miles/hour, yoga, water aerobics Scrubbing floors, yardwork Carrying groceries in from car Competitive table tennis Dancing

12 Perioperative Beta Blockers The Controversy Multiple early RCTs showed benefit The bandwagon rolls out AHRQ list ACC recommends ACP recommends More recent studies equivocal

13 Perioperative Beta Blockade NEJM July 28,2005

14 Perioperative Beta Blockers The POISE Trial Lancet May 31, 2008 High risk pts undergoing non cardiac surgery Randomized to perioperative beta blockade vs. placebo Drug started hours before surgery and continued for 30 days post op Primary endpoints included cardiac death, non- fatal mi and non-fatal cardiac arrest

15 The POISE Trial Results

16 Poise Trial Results

17 Peri-operative Beta Blockers What should we do? Continue beta blockers for all pts on them chronically Start and titrate beta blockers preop for pts with Known CAD + ischemia on stress test High cardiac risk profile Unclear utility in pts with low cardiac risk profiles Do not use in absence of titration (goal hr 60-80)

18 What about statins? Several observational studies suggest benefit from peri-operative statins. Randomised trials less clear Bottom line-prescribe only if statin is indicated regardless of surgery

19 Preoperative Pulmonary Assessment and Postoperative Risk Reduction Patient Factors  Advanced Age  Poor functional status  COPD  CHF  Tobacco abuse  OSA  Low albumin Surgical Factors  Aortic, thoracic, upper abdominal  Prolonged surgery  General anesthesia  Emergency surgery  Routine NG tube placement

20 Preoperative Pulmonary Function Testing Indicated for all lung resection patients Fail to consistently predict pulmonary complications Abnormal exam, CXR, and Goldman risk index more predictive Low rate of complications in patients with severe obstruction Use the “if they walked into my office” principle Evaluate unexplained dyspnea Establish baseline for patients with known lung disease

21 Reducing Postoperative Pulmonary Complications Incentive Spirometry Selective NG decompression after general surgery Cigarette cessation* Medically optimize COPD Avoid sedating meds Neuraxial anesthesia

22 In Summary…. Limited role for routine preoperative coronary revascularization Perioperative beta blockers for high risk pts, need to be titrated Preoperative PFTs have limited role
