Diaphragm Dysfunction After Cardiac Surgery : Reappraisal

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to re-investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of postoperative diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) with actual cardiac surgery procedures.

DESIGN: Single-center, retrospective, observational study based on a prospectively collected database.

SETTING: Tertiary care cardiac surgery center.

PARTICIPANTS: Patients who underwent cardiac surgery between January 2016 and September 2019.

INTERVENTIONS: None.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The DD group included patients with clinically perceptible diaphragmatic paralysis, which was confirmed by chest ultrasound (amplitude of the diaphragm movement in time-motion mode at rest, after a sniff test). The primary endpoint was the incidence of DD. Among 3,577 patients included, the authors found 272 cases of DD (7.6%). Individuals with DD had more arterial hypertension (64.3% v 52.6%; p < 0.0001), higher body mass index (BMI) (28 [25-30] kg/m2v 26 [24-29] kg/m2; p < 0.0002), and higher incidence of coronary bypass grafting (CABG) (58.8% v 46.6%; p = 0.0001). DD was associated with more postoperative pneumonia (23.9% v 8.7%; p < 0.0001), reintubation (8.8% v 2.9%; p < 0.0001), tracheotomy (3.3% v 0.3%; p < 0.0001), noninvasive ventilation (45.6% v 5.4%; p < 0.0001), duration of mechanical ventilation (five [four-11] hours v four [three-six] hours; p < 0.0001), and intensive care unit and hospital stays (14 [11-17] days v 13 [11-16] days; p < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, DD was associated with CABG (odds ratio [OR] 1.9 [1.5-2.6]; p = 0.0001), arterial hypertension (OR 1.4 [1.1-1.9]; p = 0.008), and BMI (OR per point 1.04 [1.01-1.07] kg/m2; p = 0.003).

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of symptomatic DD after cardiac surgery was 7.6%, leading to respiratory complications and increased ICU stay. CABG was the principal factor associated with DD.
