Objective To analyse the characteristic of hemodynamic changes during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB）. Methods One hundred consecutive patients received OPCAB and the hemodynamic changes were monitored during the grafts was anastomosed. They were anastomosis of the left internal mammary artery （LIMA） to left anterior descending （LAD） in 97 patients, the anastomosis of saphenous vein （SV） or radial artery（RA） to right coronary artery （RCA） including posterior descending artery （PDA） and posterior left branch （PLB） in 84 patients, to left circumflex coronary artery （LCX） in 50 patients, to optuse marginal artery（OM） in 27 patients, to diagonal artery （DG） in 25 patients. The grafts number in each patient was 3. 1±0. 7. Results Hemodynamics changed when LAD and DG were anastomosed with significantly increase of heart rate （HR）, significantly decrease of mean arterial pressure （MAP） and left ventricular stroke work index （LVSWI, P〈0.05）. Hemodynamics changed when LCX,PDA,PLB,OM were anastomosed with significantly increase of HR and center veinous pressure （CVP, P 〈 0. 05）, significantly decrease of MAP, cardiac index （CI）, stroke index （SI）, right ventricular ejection fraction （RVEF）, right ventricular end-diastolic volume （RVEDV）, LVSWI and right ventricular stroke work index （RVSWI,P〈0.05）. Hemodynamics tended to be stable and CI improved at the end of operation. Conclusion There are no or little hemodynamic changes during the LAD and DG were anastomosed in OPCAB, while hemodynamics changed significantly during LCX, PDA, PLB and OM were anastomosed. Hemodynamics become stable and CI improves after operation.
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and blood glucose fluctuations after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and adverse events in non-diabetic patients, thus providing theoretical support for intensive preoperative blood glucose management in patients undergoing CABG surgery.MethodsA total of 304 patients undergoing CABG with or without valvular surgery from October 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled in this prospective, single-center, observational cohort study. We classified them into two different groups which were a low-level group and a high-level group according to the HbA1c level. There were 102 males and 37 females, aged 36–85 (61.5±9.5) years in the low-level group, and 118 males and 47 females aged 34–85 (63.1±9.4) years in the high-level group. The main results were different in hospital mortality and perioperative complications including in-hospital death, myocardial infarction, sternal incision infection, new stroke, new-onset renal failure and multiple organ failure. To assess the effects of confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used.Results Postoperative blood glucose fluctuation was more pronounced in the high-level group than that in the low-level group before admission [0.8 (0.6, 1.2) mmol/L vs. 1.0 (0.8, 1.8) mmol/L, P<0.01]. This study also suggested that the incidence of major adverse events was significantly lower in the low-level group compared with the high-level group (P=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses to correct the influence of other confounding factors showed that HbA1c (OR=2.773, P=0.002) and postoperative blood glucose fluctuations (OR=3.091, P<0.001) could still predict the occurrence of postoperative adverse events.ConclusionHbA1c on admission can effectively predict blood glucose fluctuations in 24 hours after surgery. Secondly, HbA1c on admission and postoperative blood glucose fluctuations can further predict postoperative adverse events. It is suggested that we control the patient's preoperative HbA1c at a low level, which is beneficial to control postoperative blood glucose fluctuation and postoperative adverse events.
