surgery suggests that the shorter- acting opioid (remifentanil) may reduce time to extubation (−139 minutes; 95% CI −244 to −32 minutes) and hospital length of stay (−1.1days; 95% CI −1.6 to
−0.6days); though caution is warranted regarding this conclusion as there was signicant heterogeneity across the trials in morphine delivered postoperatively and adequacy of follow- up with respect to analgesia and need for reintubation. e challenge with ultra­short- acting opioids such as remifentanil is that additional analgesia is required postoperatively to cover for the rapid oset of eect of remifentanil.

Patients should achieve normothermia, haemodynamic stability, and normal blood gases before extubation is considered.
A number of patient characteristics predict higher risk of failure to achieve early extubation postoperatively. Predictors have included increased age, female sex, postoperative use of intra- aortic balloon pump, inotropic support, bleeding, atrial arrhythmia, renal failure, hypertension, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, base decit aer surgery, prolonged clamp time, and advanced age.,
Fast- track versus ultra- fast- track extubation
cardiac surgery has suggested that use of inhaled anaesthesia re­duces ICU stay (−16 hours, 95% CI −24 to −7 hours), and overall risk of mortality in cardiac surgical patients. However, caution is war­ranted regarding this conclusion, as the number of studies reporting on ICU length of stay was small, even aer combination through systematic review and meta- analysis.
Head- to- head comparisons of dierent inhaled agents (isourane, desurane, and sevourane) have not denitively shown important dierences for cardiac surgery, and the choice should be determined by local availability and costs.

A number of studies have evaluated ‘ultra- fast- track’ extubation (within the operating room) to further reduce the extubation time to less than 1 hour. While some centres have adopted such an ap­proach as a uniform goal, the practice has not achieved widespread acceptance since ultra- fast- track extubation has not been shown to further reduce resource utilization and safety beyond that pro­vided by fast- track extubation in the recovery unit (within 1– 6 hours postoperatively). In fact, ultra- fast- track extubation may increase the risk of prolonging operating room time, which is the scarcest resource within the chain of resources required for cardiac surgery. Furthermore, ultra- fast- track extubation pre- empts the ability to stabilize patient haemodynamics and initial recovery parameters in
the ‘golden hour’ postoperatively. crease the risk of residual muscle weakness and can delay extubation in the recovery period, the choice of muscle relaxant (and reversal agent) remains a key consideration in fast- track recovery patients.
Cardiac surgical recoveryunits

Meta- analyses of RCTs of intrathecal analgesia added to general anaesthesia versus general anaesthesia alone in cardiac surgery sug­gested that there was an increased risk of respiratory depression and were no important dierences in time to extubation, ICU length of stay, or any other clinically relevant outcomes; although VAS scores were reduced.,
Criteria forextubation and predictors offailure
One of the most important drivers of success for fast- track anaes­thesia is the presence of a protocol with clearly dened criteria
It is clear that while no single denition of fast- track care exists, the strong and consistent evidence base for clinical and economic advan­tages of fast- track management has ushered a new standard of care whereby fast- track management with the goal of early extubation and discharge is now routine standard of care. All patients should be considered eligible for fast- track cardiac care and extubation, until proven otherwise (contraindications are very rare).
It is important to note that fast- track care refers to a full pro­gramme across the continuum of care, involving ‘fast- track’ anaes­thesia with balanced anaesthesia using reduced doses of opioids (sufentanil, fentanyl) or short- acting opioids (remifentanil) along with short- acting anaesthetics and hypnotics (inhaled or intravenous

anaesthetics, benzodiazepines), usually with the goal of extubation within 1– 6 hours postoperatively.
Fast- track cardiac anaesthesia is just one component of care which itself does not guarantee reduced length of stay and reduced com­plications without other supporting components of care, starting with appropriate preoperative planning and patient optimization, through to fast- track cardiac anaesthesia, mildly hypothermic or normothermic surgical technique, and subsequent postoperative protocols for monitoring, extubation, and discharge based on pa­tient milestones. Amultimodal approach to managing sedation and analgesia postoperatively is also an integral component of fast- track cardiac care. Devoted postoperative cardiac recovery units allow protocols and patient ow to be optimized in order to achieve ef­ciencies that are more dicult to coordinate in a generalized ICU.
While 1– 6 hours has oen been quoted as the goal, there is no particular physiological reason for this goal. Some centres have at­tempted immediate postoperative extubation while the patient is still on the operating table. However, since operating room time is usually the most severely restricted resource, deferring extubation to recovery or critical care units remains most common, and is unlikely to be replaced by on- the- table extubation until otherwise proven safer and more cost- eective than outside- of- operating room extubation.
Conclusion
Fast- track cardiac care requires an interdisciplinary approach to an­aesthesia during surgery, as well as a coordinated approach aer sur­gery, in order to achieve early extubation and an overall streamlined approach to recovery and hospital discharge. An interdisciplinary approach to the use of protocols to dene specic goals and criteria for extubation is an even more important determinant of success than the specic anaesthetic agents chosen. Acoordinated fast- track approach optimizes resource utilization in the perioperative setting while also improving patient outcomes, which ultimately translates to an overall improvement in value not only for patients, but also for healthcare professionals, hospitals, and health systems.

Management ofcoagulopathy
Zev Noah Kornfield and George Despotis
Introduction
Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary by­pass (CPB) are at increased risk for excessive perioperative blood loss and coagulopathy requiring transfusion. In a recent re­view of transfusion practices in cardiac surgical patients, it was noted that cardiac surgery patients utilize as much as 10– 15% of the almost 15million units of red blood cells transfused in surgical patients in the United States annually and more than half of cardiac surgical patients receive blood products during their hospitalization. Despite publication of blood conservation guidelines, blood product utilization continues to increase for all cardiac operations. Coagulopathy and microvascular bleeding when excessive after cardiac surgery can result in re- exploration, which has been shown to be associated with a three- to fourfold increase in mortality, renal failure, sepsis, atrial arrhythmias, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and longer length of stay. There is evidence that patients with excessive bleeding who re­quire transfusion are predisposed to end- organ injury, stroke, and potentially increased short- term or long- term mortality. Given the aforementioned facts, it is imperative to understand the pathophysiology of haemostatic system abnormalities after cardiac surgery to facilitate optimal and efficient management of excessive bleeding.
Coagulationsystem
e coagulation system consists of a complex interplay of platelets, von Willebrand factor, coagulation factors, and brinolytic fac­tors that are in balance, providing local haemostasis where needed while limiting excessive thrombosis during injury or surgery, as summarized in Fig. 22.1 and Fig. 22.2. When intact, the vascular endothelium serves as a protective layer against haemostatic ac­tivation with bound heparin molecules and secretion of various antiplatelet and antithrombotic mediators (e.g. nitric oxide, prosta­cyclin (PGI), adenosine, etc.). When the endothelium is damaged, platelets adhere to exposed subendothelium via critical ligands (i.e. either collagen and/ or von Willebrand factor) and then aggregate to provide initial haemostasis. is initial activated platelet plug
provides an active phospholipid surface for interaction with co­agulation factors that leads to further activation and formation of a stable brin clot. e coagulation system can be subdivided into the intrinsic, extrinsic, common, and brinolytic pathways. Tissue factor derived from cells or subendothelium activates the extrinsic pathway to form thrombin which converts brinogen to brin; thrombin also leads to platelet activation and expression of IIb/ IIIa receptors which facilitate crosslinking of platelets by brin and stabilizes the platelet– brin plug. PGI and nitric oxide counter platelet clot formation via platelet inhibition while proteins C and S, antithrombin III, heparin cofactor II, tissue plasminogen activator/ plasmin, and tissue factor pathway inhibitor counter thrombus formation in the coagulation cascade by inhibiting or degrading key activation products/ mediators such as factors V/ VIII, factors IIa and Xa, brin, and tissue factor, respectively. e brinolytic system is modulated by plasminogen activators such as tissue plasminogen activator and urokinase that produce plasmin. Plasmin lyses brin and potentially prevents vaso- occlusion at the site of vessel injury by limiting extensive brin formation. e ­brinolytic system is regulated by other factors such as plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI- 1) and thrombin- activatable brinolytic inhibitor (TAF1), which neutralize alpha- 2- antiplasmin which neutralizes plasmin (Fig. 22.2).
Predictors and mechanisms ofbleeding
e Society of oracic Surgeons and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (STS/ SCA) blood conservation clinical practice guidelines have identied several potential risk factors for exces­sive bleeding and increased transfusion requirement in cardiac surgery. ese include advanced age, low red blood cell volume due to preoperative anaemia or from low body mass, preopera­tive anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy, urgent or emergent operation, anticipated prolonged duration of CPB, and other comorbidities including congestive heart failure, renal dysfunc­tion, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Although excessive bleeding during and aer surgery may be related to iso­lated hereditary defects within a patient’s haemostatic system (see top section of Table 22.1), it is more likely to be multifactorial

Fig.22.1 The haemostatic system involves three major components that interact to attenuate spontaneous thrombosis and promote haemostasis
with vasculature breach:vascular wall (endothelium/ subendothelium), coagulation proteins, and platelets. Under normal conditions, the endothelium releases several different substances 12- (Z,E)- hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (12- HODE), nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), and adenosine to inhibit platelets. The first step involved with breach of the integrity of the vessel wall involves platelet adhesion mediated by the interaction of collagen and platelet Ia/ IIa receptors and high- molecular- weight von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers and the Ib platelet glycoprotein receptor (Gp Ib). Further activation of the haemostatic system occurs via activation of platelet surface- bound prothrombinase complex involving coagulation factors Va and Xa via either platelet- bound coagulation factors VIIIa and IXa or via coagulation factor VIIa via activation by subendothelial tissue factor. These activation mechanisms ultimately lead to conversion of prothrombin (II) to thrombin (IIa) which further activates coagulation factors as well as platelet activation to release the contents of alpha and dense granules that enhances further platelet/ haemostatic activation via generation of thrombin, release of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from platelets that further stimulates platelet activation, and release of both betathromboglobulin (BTG) and platelet factor 4 (PF4) that bind to endothelial- bound heparan to facilitate platelet recruitment to the area of vascular injury. With these activities, thrombin concentrations rise substantially which ultimately lead to conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin expression of platelet glycoprotein IIb/ IIIa receptors (Gp IIb/ IIIa) which facilitates platelet aggregation via linkage by either fibrinogen/ fibrin or vWF, with ultimate formation of a platelet- rich haemostatic plug that is stabilized by cross- linking of fibrin.
including pre- existing hereditary, and more commonly, defects acquired either preoperatively (e.g. pharmacological) (Table 22.2) or intraoperatively (i.e. during CPB as related to hemodilution or hemostatic system consumption—see bottom section of Tab l e
22.1) (Table 22.3).
e use of CPB increases the risk for microvascular bleeding, re­lated to acquired quantitative and qualitative abnormalities in platelets and coagulation factors (Table 22.3) secondary to acquired haemo- static system abnormalities, and is due to several factors. ese factors include (1)haemodilution related to CPB and cardioplegia crystal­loid solutions, (2)hypothermia and haemostatic system activation/ consumption due to a disseminated intravascular coagulation- like process secondary to either contact activation (i.e. non- endothelial surface of CPB circuit) and/ or autotransfusion of cardiotomy-derived shed pericardial blood (i.e. that contains high levels of tissue plas­minogen activator and tissue factor- mediated activation) (Table 22.3), (3)excessive brinolysis, (4) intravenous residual heparin or heparin rebound, and (5) excessive protamine dosing. See Table 22.3. e lit- erature demonstrates that o- pump coronary artery bypass graing is associated with less blood utilization and postoperative bleeding com­pared with conventional coronary artery bypass graing using CPB but is associated with other technical challenges.
e use of preoperative aspirin and non- steroidal anti­inammatory agents can lead to bleeding in a subset of patients who are hyper- responders but the majority of patients do not bleed exces­sively since most manifest only mild platelet inhibition to aspirin. Although patients on preoperative warfarin may bleed aer cardiac surgery, especially if patients have high international normalized ratio values and have other bleeding- related risk factors, some studies have demonstrated an inverse relationship between postop­erative international normalized ratio and blood loss, which may be secondary to warfarin- mediated haemostatic system preservation during CPB. Residual eects of low- molecular- weight heparin com­pounds, direct thrombin inhibitors, platelet inhibitors, and brino­lytic agents can increase bleeding and complicate management. e risk of bleeding related to these agents depends on their relative po­tency, pharmacodynamic half- life, time interval from most recent dose before surgery, and availability of a reversal agent (Table 22.2). e long- acting platelet adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor ant­agonists are associated with excessive bleeding and transfusion espe­cially when they are more potent (e.g. prasugrel) or are administered within 5days of surgery. New testing paradigms have been investi­gated to identify the optimal timing for surgery based on the quan­tication of the degree of residual ADP antagonism using either

A review of transfusion algorithms in cardiac surgery noted several studies that suggest adhering to transfusion algorithms, especially in conjunction with concomitant point- of- care haemostasis moni­toring, may decrease the number of transfusions administered, de­crease volume of blood loss, and decrease the rate of re- exploration for bleeding. ese studies have used standard tests of haemostatic function such as prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and platelet count as well as tests that evaluate the viscoelastic properties of whole blood such as thromboelastography (TEG) or thromboelastometry (ROTEM). ere is growing evidence, pri­marily extracted from elective cardiac surgery trials, that application of TEG- or ROTEM- guided transfusion strategies may reduce the need for blood products especially fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and reduce bleeding, and improve morbidity in patients with bleeding. In gen­eral, the STS/ SCA guidelines recommend institution- specic transfu­sion algorithms, point- of- care testing, and a multimodal approach to coagulopathy treatment. e ecacy of point- of- care testing coupled with a standardized algorithm to reduce transfusion and bleeding may be related to several factors such as optimal management of bleeding, resetting of the transfusion trigger, and/ or early identication of a sur­gical source of bleeding by ruling out microvascular bleeding.
sion of FFP is reasonable in patients with excessive bleeding in the context of multiple or single coagulation factor deciencies when safer fractionated products are not available. e American Society of Anesthesiologists practice guidelines suggest that FFP be used when bleeding is related to reductions in coagulation factor levels with prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time results, greater than 1.5 times normal values, and that the dose of FFP achieve at least 30% factor levels. Approximately 15 mL of FFP per kilogram of body weight will result in a rise in factor values by 30% in the average adult.
According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists guide­lines, platelets should be administered in the setting of active bleeding based on platelet counts. If counts are less than 50 × 10/ L, they are generally needed. With platelet counts of more than 100 × 10/ L, transfusion is rarely indicated unless there are substantial qualitative platelet abnormalities. When platelet counts are be­tween 50 × 10/ L and 100 × 10/ L, clinical circumstances should be evaluated. One apheresis- derived platelet unit is equivalent to six random- donor platelet units (i.e. containing at least 3 × 10 platelets) and should result in a 1- hour post- transfusion increase of 30 × 10/ L to 60 × 10/ L in platelet count. Hypobrinogenaemia

However, the 1:1:1 group manifested improved haemostasis and fewer died from exsanguination by 24 hours. In at least one observational study, use of MTP was associated with lower organ dysfunction rates and lower 7 day mortality aer cardiac surgery. us, based on current evidence available, with life-threatening
Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) are pooled concentrates of coagulation factors that include factors II, VII, IX, and X in variable concentrations and when compared to FFP provide quicker inter­national normalized ratio correction, can completely normalize factor levels without causing uid overload, have a small infusion volume, and do not require cross- matching but are derived from multiple donors (i.e. 10,000– 20,000 donors). While a historical concern about potential thrombotic risk with PCCs exists, present- day PCCs are much improved based on the use of non- activated factors and reason­able concentrations of anticoagulant proteins such as antithrombin III and proteins C and S with thrombosis rates at 1– 2%. Currently, PCCs are approved for prophylactic administration before emergency sur­gery in patients with reduced levels of vitamin K- dependent clotting factors (warfarin treatment, haemophilia B). While there are few pub­lished studies comparing FFP and PCCs in the perioperative period,

there is some evidence that PCCs may be a viable alternative to FFP in coagulopathic bleeding post CPB. In some European countries, PCCs have replaced FFP as the treatment for perioperative bleeding but fur­ther trials are needed to support this practice.
Recently, non- vitamin K oral anticoagulants, such as direct thrombin inhibitors and direct factor Xa inhibiters, have emerged as alternatives to warfarin for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disease. One of the primary concerns with non­vitamin K oral anticoagulants is the early lack of specic agents to reverse their anticoagulant eect in cases of emergency surgery. Previous methods for managing bleeding in patients on these agents include activated charcoal if it had been less than 2 hours since inges­tion and dialysis for direct thrombin inhibiters. From in vitro data, PCCs may be helpful to normalize thrombin generation when used o label to counteract the eects of irreversible factor Xa inhibitors but have not been shown to counteract the eects of direct thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran) which impact brin production down­stream of where PCCs have the most impact. While activated PCC (FEIBA®) and recombinant activated factor VIIa (discussed in the next section) show some promise in reversing both direct thrombin inhibitors and direct factor Xa inhibiters, the current data on re­versing major haemorrhage and balancing the risk of thrombosis
is equivocal. Specic reversal agents have been recently developed and are in various stages of approval. Idarucizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody fragment, has recently been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to reverse dabigatran activity in emergency situations. Other specic reversal agents (andexanetalfa and ciraparantag) for both factor Xa inhibitors and direct thrombin inhibitors are currently in clinical trials.,
Recombinant activated factor VIIa (rFVIIa) currently has Food and Drug Administration approval for the management of bleeding in haemophilia patients with inhibitors to factors and in patients with congenital factor VII deciency. While the o- label use of this agent has been reported to be successful in reversing life- threatening haemorrhage in a number of clinical scenarios, the decision whether to use activated factor concentrates such as rFVIIa for cardiac sur­gery patients with uncontrolled bleeding continues to be one that has inevitably to be made by individual physicians, assisted by their hospital pharmacotherapeutics and transfusion committees. Alarge review of rFVIIa used in an o- label basis demonstrated a signi­cantly increased the risk of arterial but not venous thromboembolic events, especially among the elderly and the risks of thrombus versus the benets of haemostasis must be carefully considered. In a re­view article, Sniecinski and Levi oer guidelines for o- label use

e STS/ SCA guidelines have assigned the prophylactic use of the lysine analogue antibrinolytics tranexamic acid (TXA) and epsilon- aminocaproic acid (EACA) a class I recommendation. Areview of the literature reveals fewer transfusions, and decreased average blood loss in CPB and o- pump coronary artery bypass graing cases when antibrinolytics are used in high- and medium­risk cardiac surgery although benets may be less clear in low- risk cardiac surgery. While there was similar ecacy between TXA and EACA with regard to blood loss and transfusion rates, there has been an association between high- dose TXA and an increased inci­dence of postoperative seizures, postoperative atrial brillation, and renal failure when compared to other antibrinolytics., Although prophylactic use of antibrinolytic agents may be generally well tol­erated and safe, the risk:benet ratio in individual patients needs to be considered with judicious use of these agents in patients who may
be at higher risk for thrombotic complications (e.g. sepsis, dissem­inated intravascular coagulation, or hypercoagulability). ere may also be a role for the use of tests of viscoelastic function to identify patients with hyperbrinolysis and hypercoagulability to enable ju­dicious use of these agents. It should be noted that when compared to TXA and EACA, aprotinin was superior in reducing blood loss, transfusion rates, and surgical re- exploration in cardiac surgery but was withdrawn from the market in 2008 when a large randomized trial was stopped early due to an increased risk of death in high­risk cardiac surgery. Aer further review of the data, beginning in 2010, the European Medicines Agency Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency approved reinstatement of aprotinin marketing authoriza­tions in the European Union as of 2013. e CHMP concluded that the benets of aprotinin outweigh its risk in appropriately managed patients undergoing isolated heart bypass surgery not combined with other heart surgery.
An understanding of coagulopathy in cardiac surgery and cor­onary artery bypass graing is essential to the successful manage­ment of bleeding in this patient population. Transfusion protocols, point- of- care testing, and new blood product concentrates or re­versal agents can facilitate eective management of life- threatening bleeding. While much progress has been made in management of coagulopathy, emerging challenges continue in the setting of use of new and more potent anti-platelet or anti-thrombotic agents that either have long half lives or lack a specic reversal agent which re­quires innovative solutions and more research.
