Immunization Routines forSurgical Splenectomy
MichelleLippincott andVicVelanovich
Splenic Anatomy andFunction
The spleen is the largest secondary lymphoid organ in the body and is unique in structure and function. It is the only portion of the lymphatic system with a direct blood supply. This feature allows it to lter non-functional or damaged blood cells and opsonized particulates. Furthermore, by facilitating otherwise low-probability interactions between antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and cognate lymphocytes, it serves as a bridge between the adaptive and innate immune response [1].
The splenic parenchyma consists of three distinct functional “zones.” These are termed the white pulp, red pulp, and marginal zone (also the perifollicular zone). The red pulp makes up the majority of the splenic parenchyma. It consists of a sys­tem of cords that lack endothelium and allow for direct interaction of red pulp mac­rophages with the contents of the blood [2]. These macrophages serve to remove damaged or opsonized cells or pathogens [1, 3]. The white pulp is the primary site of adaptive immune response in the spleen. It is analogous to lymph nodes contain­ing distinct T and B cell zones. The white pulp’s adaptive response results from interactions between antigen-presenting cells and B or T lymphocytes [24]. This interaction produces highly specic antibodies against encountered pathogens for adaptive immunity [3]. The marginal zone abuts the white pulp and contains mar­ginal zone B cells. These act as the primary response against bloodborne pathogens. These B cells form IgM antibodies that promote T-cell responses [3]. Marginal zone location of memory B cells that produce IgM, which is critical for the opsonization of encapsulated bacteria [4].

Overwhelming Post-splenectomy Infection
Increased risk of infection is a well-known complication of splenectomy [57]. Overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI) describes fulminant sepsis unique to asplenic patients. Without opsonization, infection with encapsulated organisms can quickly progress to life-threatening sepsis. Notably, Streptococcus
pneumoniae causes 50–90% [6, 8] of these infections, followed by Haemophilus inuenzae and Neisseria meningitidis [4, 5]. Other implicated organisms with higher disease risk in asplenic patients include Plasmodium falciparum, Babesia microti, and Capnocytophaga canimorsus [8]. Asplenic patients also have an
increased risk of infection from non-encapsulated organisms [5].
The incidence of invasive infection in patients undergoing splenectomy for all indications is 3.2% [5]. Although the incidence is low, the mortality rate is 50–70% [7], with death resulting from septic shock, multisystem organ failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and adrenal hemorrhage.
The concern about OPSI leads to various techniques for splenic salvage in hopes of preserving splenic function. It is not the purpose of this chapter to review such techniques, but these include operative splenic salvage, partial splenectomy, and selective splenic artery branch embolization [9]. Nevertheless, despite these efforts, splenectomy for trauma and disease may be unavoidable.
One of the potential consequences of splenic trauma, with or without splenec­tomy, is splenosis. Splenosis occurs with fragments of the injured implant onto vari­ous surfaces of the peritoneal cavity, with the most likely location being the omentum [10]. Although splenosis at one time was thought to provide some immune function, this function is not sufcient to provide a reliable method to prevent OPSI [10]. Therefore, the presence of splenosis, or accessory spleens for that matter, should not be the reason to avoid post-splenectomy immunizations.
The data regarding OPSI is limited by the wide variety of indications for splenec­tomy and the need for subgroup analysis. We know that the incidence of post­splenectomy sepsis is similar in adults and children, though the mortality is higher in children [5]. Adult patients who undergo splenectomy for non-traumatic causes carry a higher risk of infection than their traumatic counterparts; this includes infec­tions with non-encapsulated organisms [11]. In both adults and children, infection rates are highest in patients undergoing splenectomy for thalassemia major and sickle cell anemia [5]. The timing of OPSI after splenectomy is not well agreed upon though the quoted overall mean time to the onset of infection was 22.6months for all causes of splenectomy [5].
The mainstay of treatment of post-splenectomy sepsis involves early identica­tion and treatment with empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics. Early identication and treatment may reduce mortality by 10% [12].
Lastly, although OPSI is the most feared of post-splenectomy complications, other infectious adverse outcomes also occur. These include intra-abdominal abscesses, pneumonia, surgical site infections, as well as others [13]. These infec­tions tend to occur in the peri-operative period, whereas OPSI tends to occur months or years after splenectomy.

Immunization Recommendation forAsplenic or Hyposplenic Patients
Indications andTiming
Post-splenectomy vaccines are mandated in all patients undergoing splenectomy for any indication. Immunizations are not recommended in patients who have under­gone angioembolization as these patients have preserved splenic immune function [14]. For the purpose of this book, guidelines for vaccinations are limited to adults.
In cases of elective splenectomy, the initial dose of vaccines should be given at least 14days before surgery, and in some cases, are recommended 4–6weeks pre­operatively [15]. In cases of unplanned splenectomy, they should be given immedi­ately post-operatively once the patient’s condition is stable [16].
Pneumococcal Pneumoniae
The United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations for vacci­nation of anatomically or functional asplenic adults are as follows [16]:
– PCV13 vaccine either pre-operatively or immediately post-op – PPSV23 8weeks after PCV 13 – PPSV23 5years following the rst dose of PPSV23
Neisseria Meningitidis
CDC recommendations for Neisseria meningitidis vaccination in asplenic patients consist of recommendations for ACWY serotypes and B serotypes as listed below [16]:
Meningococcal Serotypes—ACWY:
– 2 dose series of either MenAWCY vaccine 8weeks apart [MenACWY-CRM
(Menevo) OR MenACWY-D (Menactra)]
– Repeat in 5years if last dose was at age >7, 3years if last dose at age <7 – Of note, MenACWY-D should not be given concomitantly with PCV13 but
instead 4 weeks afterward as this can attenuate antibody response to PCV13.
MenAVWY-CRM can be given concomitantly with PCV13.
Meningococcal B:
– Two-dose series of MenB-4C (Bexsero), 1month apart OR – Three-dose series of MenB-FHbp (Trumenba) with dose 2 at 1–2 months and
dose 3 at 6months
– Either can be given concomitantly with Men-ACWY – There are no recommendations for boosters for MenB
250
https://t.me/med1917
Hemophaelous Inuenzae
– One-time dose of Haemophilus inuenzae type B conjugate vaccine [16].
Inuenza
– Administer seasonal inuenza vaccine to asplenic patients to mitigate the risk of
secondary pneumonia [15].
– Asplenic patients should not receive live attenuated vaccines.

Challenges withImmunizations
As one can see by the schedule provided above, obtaining the appropriate vaccina­tions can be a daunting task and requires 7–9 vaccinations within the rst 12months post-splenectomy. The studied booster compliance rate is poor [1719]. Suggested interventions to improve compliance include patient education and surgeon owner­ship of the vaccine schedule [15].
Prophylactic Antibiotics
In addition to immunizations, the asplenic patient, as well as their family members, need to be appraised of the early signs and symptoms of OPSI. This is vital as OPSI is a rapidly progressing disease, and the time period from rst symptoms to death can be short, measured in hours to a few days. Therefore, the American Society of Hematology recommends prophylactic antibiotics, depending on age, time since splenectomy, degree of immunocompromise, or prior episodes of sepsis for adults of penicillin VK 250mg orally twice a day (or cephalexin 250mg orally twice a day for patients with penicillin allergies). For patients with early signs of sepsis (e.g., fever), emergency antibiotic administration prior to arrival to an emergency depart­ment of amoxicillin-clavulanate 875/125 mg orally twice a day [20]. Therefore, asplenic patients should have such antibiotics on hand for immediate use if symp­toms of infections occur.
Conclusions
Vaccinations in splenectomized patients are of the utmost importance in preventing life-threatening infections. Although well dened, the current guidelines for vacci­nation can be confusing for patients and providers. Furthermore, the logistical

challenge of providing these vaccines can lead to poor compliance and suboptimal benet regarding infection prevention. This challenge highlights the importance of surgeon involvement in maintaining up-to-date knowledge of these vaccine sched­ules and identifying barriers to obtaining such immunizations.

Management oftheDifculty Airway inthePerioperative Period (A Surgical Perspective)

Introduction
Complications associated with airway management are the leading cause of death or permanent brain damage in otherwise healthy patients who undergo anesthesia for elective procedures [1]. A one-year review of major airway complications at National Health Services Hospitals, UK (NAP4) found 46 events per million gen­eral anesthetics, with an associated mortality of 5.6 per million. Difcult or delayed intubation, failed intubation and a catastrophic scenario now referred to as “can’t intubate can’t oxygenate” accounted for an estimated 39% of events [2].
There is evidence that repeated conventional tracheal intubation attempts contrib­utes to patient morbidity. A practice analysis of emergent intubations showed that beyond two intubation attempts there is an increase in hypoxemia, esophageal intu­bation, regurgitation, aspiration, bradycardia, airway trauma and cardiac arrest [3].
Airway complications can result in adverse outcomes including brain injury, car­diopulmonary arrest, airway trauma, need for emergency surgical airway access and unanticipated ICU stay [35]. Data from the United States published in 2009 shows mortality rate of 1.1 per million for patients undergoing anesthesia, with 2.3% of deaths attributed to failed or difcult intubation [6]. Respiratory complications that occur during emergency airway management are estimated to account for one third of all anesthetic deaths [3].

In otherwise healthy patients, difculty with airway management leading to a severe outcome occurs with a frequency of 11.6 per million [1]. According to 2019 claims analysis, in recent years difcult tracheal intubations tended to occur in sicker patients, with 76% of difcult intubations between 2000 and 2012 involving ASA III-V categories [5].
R. H. Kelley et al.
Difcult Airway
It corresponds to anticipated or unanticipated barriers or failure by a trained anes­thesia provider in any of the following areas: face mask ventilation, laryngoscopy, ventilation with supraglottic airway, tracheal intubation, extubation or invasive airway [4].
While the overall incidence of difcult airways is estimated to be low (1.4–5.0% [7, 8]), there is signicant mortality. Impossible face mask ventilation occurs at an estimated rate of 0.07–0.16% [9]. Difcult intubation occurs at a rate of 1.6 per 1000 with the incidence of failed intubation being 1.3 per 10,000 [1]. Any of these scenarios can lead to a “cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate” scenario, which occurs in less than 1 out every 5000 elective cases. This requires a surgical airway rescue in less than 1 out of every 50,000 cases, nevertheless accounts for 25% of anesthesia­related deaths [10]. Delays in surgical airway initiation during these emergencies remains an issue.
Increased Serious Complications
A 2019 claims analysis revealed that despite similar incidence of difcult intuba­tions, incidence of brain damage or death at induction of anesthesia was 5.5 times higher between 2000 and 2012 when compared to 1993–1990 [5]. Two-thirds of dif­cult intubations occur at induction in the operating room, 13–14% occur during the procedure, 14–16% at extubation and 4–7% occur during recovery in the post­anesthesia care unit [5]. Failure to predict and plan for a patient with a difcult air­way remains the most important factor contributing to catastrophic events [2, 4, 5, 10].
Airway Assessment
Risk assessment for predicting challenging airways has been a signicant topic of research in anesthesiology. Despite this, anticipation of difcult airways remains incredibly difcult. A 2015 cohort study involving 188,064 patients had 3391
16 Management of the Difculty Airway in the Perioperative Period (A Surgical…
https://t.me/med1917
255
difcult tracheal intubations and 857 cases of difcult mask ventilation [11]. Notably 93% of the difcult tracheal intubations were unanticipated. Difcult mask ventilation was unanticipated in 94% of cases. According to a 2018 Cochrane Review with 844,206 participants, there is no current bedside screening test alone or in combination, that is entirely reliable in detecting an unanticipated difcult airway [12].
History
A thorough history and physical examination is vital emphasizing prior diseases and episodes of difcult intubation, neck surgery or injury, snoring or related medi­cal conditions including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A history of difcult intu­bations is the most predictive risk factor [10].
Facial Features andAnatomical Measures
The “3-3-2 Rule” can be applied for mouth and neck anatomical evaluation (see Table16.1). Additional criteria include head and neck mobility, neck circumfer­ence, presence of a beard (indicator of difcult face mask ventilation), and ability to prognath (the upper lip bite test).
The upper lip bite test is the best pre-operative indicator of difcult airway. The inability to project forward the lower jaw, and thus bite any part of the upper lip with the lower incisors, has 60% sensitivity for detection of difculty in tracheal intuba­tion [10]. Conversely, the ability to extend teeth above the lower border of the upper lip is predictive of a reduced risk intubation. These tests are less predictive in cases with edentulism.
Indices for difcult airway evaluation include neck circumference to thyromen­tal distance, height to thyromental distance, and thyromental to hyomental dis­tance ratios.
