Abstract

Background Hemodynamic instability in sepsis, especially in the neonatal population, is one of the leading causes of death in hospitalized infants. The major contribution for heart dysfunction in neonatal sepsis is the myocardial dysfunction that leads to decreasing of ventricular function. The combination of echocardiography and laboratory findings help us to understand the ventricular condition in preterm infants with sepsis.Objective To assess for a correlation between ventricular function and serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) level in preterm infants with neonatal sepsis.Methods We prospectively studied 30 preterm infants with neonatal sepsis who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from June 1 – August 31, 2013. The ventricular functions were measured using 2-dimensional echocardiography. The parameters of right ventricular (RV) function assessment were tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and RV myocardial performance index (MPI). For left ventricular (LV) performance, we assessed ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS), and LV-MPI. Serum hs-cTnT was measured and considered to be a marker of myocardial injury.Results Subjects had a mean gestational age of 31.5 (SD 2.18) weeks and mean birth weight of 1,525 (SD 437.5) g. The mean LV function measured by MPI was 0.281 (SD 0.075); mean EF was 72.5 (SD 5.09)%; and mean FS was 38.3 (SD 4.29)%. The RV function measured by TAPSE was mean 6.85 (SD 0.94) and that measured by MPI was median 0.255 (range 0.17-0.59). Serum hs-cTnT level was significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors [282.08 (SD 77.81) pg/mL vs. 97.75 (24.2-142.2) pg/mL, respectively P =0.023]. There were moderate correlations between LV-MPI and hs-cTnT concentration (r=0.577; P=0.001), as well as between RV-MPI and hs-cTnT concentration (r=0.502; P=0.005). The positive correlation between LV and RV-MPI in neonatal sepsis was strong (r=0.77; P <0.001).Conclusion Left and right ventricular MPI show positive correlations with hs-cTnT levels. Serum hs-cTnT is significantly higher in non survivors. As such, this marker may have prognostic value for neonatal sepsis patients.

Abstract

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a predictor in determining low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) has not been widely reported. The aim of this study was to explore the role of pre-surgery, 0-, 4-, and 8-hour post-surgery NLR as predictors of LCOS incidence after open heart surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). This study used a prognostic test with a prospective cohort design and was conducted from December 2020 until June 2021 at the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. The subject consisted of children aged one month to 18 years who underwent open heart surgery using a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine. A receiver operating characteristic curve was applied to identify the predictive performance of NLR for poor outcomes (LCOS incidence). Out of 90 patients included in the study, 25 (27.8%) of them developed LCOS between 3 to 53 hours post-surgery. All NLR values (pre-surgery and 0-, 4-, and 8-hours post-surgery) were associated with the incidence of LCOS. Pre-surgery NLR (cut-off value ≥0.88) had a fair predictive value (area under curve (AUC) 70; 95%CI: 57–83) for predicting LCOS incidence with sensitivity and specificity of 64% and 64.62%, respectively. NLR 0-hour post-surgery (cut-off value ≥4.73) had a good predictive value (AUC 81; 95%CI: 69–94) for predicting LCOS incidence, with 80% sensitivity and 80% specificity. NLR 4- and 8-hours post-surgery had very good predictive values (AUC 97%; 95%CI: 92–100 and 98; 95%CI: 94–100, respectively), with cut-off values ≥6.19 and ≥6.78, had the same 92% sensitivity and the same 96% sensitivity. The presence of LCOS was associated with mortality (odds ratio of 5.11 with 95%CI: 3.09–8.46). This study highlights that pre-surgery, 0-, 4-, and 8-hours post-surgery NLR can be predictors of LCOS after open heart surgery in children with CHD.

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary bypass in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) corrective surgery induces hyperinflammation by activating NLRP3, caspase-1, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), subsequently triggering an interleukin-10 (IL-10) response. Despite its known metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects, the impact of the modified Atkins diet (MAD) in pediatric cardiac surgery remains unexplored, with no studies on its use in TOF patients undergoing open-heart surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of MAD on the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-10, in TOF patients undergoing open-heart surgery. A double-arm, randomized-controlled trial was conducted with 44 TOF patients. The treatment group (n=22) received the MAD, a low-carbohydrate, high-fat regimen with unrestricted fat and protein intake for at least 14 days preoperatively, while the control group (n=22) followed a standard diet without carbohydrate restriction. Blood plasma and infundibulum heart tissues were collected for analysis. Whole blood samples were collected using a winged infusion needle before the intervention, an Abbocath infusion needle after 14 days of intervention, and a syringe without a needle connected to an arterial line in patients undergoing open-heart surgery at 6, 24, and 48 hours post-surgical correction. Infundibulum heart tissues were collected during the open-heart surgery. This study demonstrated significant differences in NLRP3 protein expression (p=0.015), caspase-1 protein expression (p=0.001), and IL-10 levels between before intervention and 6-, 24-, and 48-hours post-surgery in the MAD group compared to the control group. In contrast, no significant differences in IL-10 levels were observed in the control group between before intervention and 48 hours post-surgery (p=0.654). In conclusion, MAD may modulate perioperative inflammation in TOF patients undergoing open-heart surgery by downregulating NLRP3 and caspase-1 expression while sustaining IL-10 levels. Despite reduced NLRP3 and caspase-1 expression, unchanged IL-1β levels indicate alternative regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract

Background Much remains unknown about the myocardial injury caused by aortic cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass durations in children undergoing open-heart surgery, especially children with cyanotic congenital heart disease. To assess this injury, specific biomarkers can provide valuable insights. Troponin I (TnI) is known to be a specific marker of heart damage, while serum lactate serves as an indicator of tissue hypoperfusion and ischemic events. Additionally, malondialdehyde (MDA) is recognized as a marker of oxidative stress resulting from CPB machine usage. Objective To investigate the association of aortic cross clamp and CPB durations on myocardial injury and oxidative stress in children undergoing TOF corrective surgery. Methods We conducted this prospective study which included 29 patients diagnosed with TOF and who underwent corrective surgery. Troponin I and MDA levels were measured before surgery, 1 hour after surgery, and 8 hours after surgery. Lactate levels were measured in arterial blood specimens taken before surgery, as well as 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after surgery. Results Twenty-nine patients were included in this study and divided into groups based on aortic cross-clamp duration: shorter (<38 minutes) or longer (≥38 minutes), as well as based on CPB duration: shorter (<75 minutes) or longer (≥75 minutes), according to the median. Wilcoxon test indicated For the <38 min clamp duration group, there was only a significant increase in TnI at 1 hour compared to pre-op (P=0.048). However, there were no significant different in TnI, MDA, or lactate levels at any time point between the two CPB or cross-clamp groups.
