Résumé

Diaphragmatic dysfunction often occurs after adult cardiovascular surgery. The prognostic effect of diaphragmatic dysfunction on ventilatory management in patients after cardiovascular surgery is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between diaphragmatic dysfunction and prognosis of ventilatory management in adult postoperative cardiovascular surgery patients. This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary care university hospital. This study included adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit under tracheal intubation after cardiovascular surgery. Spontaneous breathing trial was performed, and bilateral diaphragmatic motion was assessed using ultrasonography; diaphragmatic dysfunction was classified as normal, incomplete dysfunction, or complete dysfunction. The primary outcome was weaning off in mechanical ventilation. The duration of mechanical ventilation was defined as duration from the date of ICU admission to the date of weaning off in mechanical ventilation. The secondary outcomes were reintubation, death from all causes, improvement of diaphragm position assessed by chest radiographs. The subdistribution hazard ratio or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence of intervals (CIs) were estimated by Fine-Gray models or Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for potential confounders. Of 153 patients analyzed, 49 patients (32.0%) had diaphragmatic dysfunction. Diaphragmatic dysfunction consisted of incomplete dysfunction in 38 patients and complete dysfunction in 11 patients. Diaphragmatic dysfunction groups had longer duration of mechanical ventilation (68 h [interquartile range (IQR) 39-114] vs 23 h [15-67], adjusted subdistribution HR 0.63, 95% CIs 0.43-0.92). There was a higher rate of reintubation (12.2% vs 2.9%, univariate logistic regression analysis p = 0.034, unadjusted odds ratio = 4.70, 95% CIs 1.12-19.65), and a tendency to have higher death from all causes in the diaphragmatic dysfunction group during follow-up period (maximum 6.5 years) (18.4% vs 9.6%, adjusted HR 1.64, 95% CIs 0.59-4.53). The time to improvement of diaphragm position on chest radiograph was significantly longer in the diaphragmatic dysfunction group (14 days [IQR 6-29] vs 5 days [IQR 2-10], adjusted subdistribution HR 0.54, 95% CIs 0.38-0.77). Diaphragmatic dysfunction after adult cardiovascular surgery was significantly associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation and higher reintubation.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Diaphragmatic dysfunction often occurs after adult cardiovascular surgery. The prognostic effect of diaphragmatic dysfunction on ventilatory management in patients after cardiovascular surgery is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between diaphragmatic dysfunction and prognosis of ventilatory management in adult postoperative cardiovascular surgery patients.
METHODS METHODS
This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary care university hospital. This study included adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit under tracheal intubation after cardiovascular surgery. Spontaneous breathing trial was performed, and bilateral diaphragmatic motion was assessed using ultrasonography; diaphragmatic dysfunction was classified as normal, incomplete dysfunction, or complete dysfunction. The primary outcome was weaning off in mechanical ventilation. The duration of mechanical ventilation was defined as duration from the date of ICU admission to the date of weaning off in mechanical ventilation. The secondary outcomes were reintubation, death from all causes, improvement of diaphragm position assessed by chest radiographs. The subdistribution hazard ratio or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence of intervals (CIs) were estimated by Fine-Gray models or Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for potential confounders.
RESULTS RESULTS
Of 153 patients analyzed, 49 patients (32.0%) had diaphragmatic dysfunction. Diaphragmatic dysfunction consisted of incomplete dysfunction in 38 patients and complete dysfunction in 11 patients. Diaphragmatic dysfunction groups had longer duration of mechanical ventilation (68 h [interquartile range (IQR) 39-114] vs 23 h [15-67], adjusted subdistribution HR 0.63, 95% CIs 0.43-0.92). There was a higher rate of reintubation (12.2% vs 2.9%, univariate logistic regression analysis p = 0.034, unadjusted odds ratio = 4.70, 95% CIs 1.12-19.65), and a tendency to have higher death from all causes in the diaphragmatic dysfunction group during follow-up period (maximum 6.5 years) (18.4% vs 9.6%, adjusted HR 1.64, 95% CIs 0.59-4.53). The time to improvement of diaphragm position on chest radiograph was significantly longer in the diaphragmatic dysfunction group (14 days [IQR 6-29] vs 5 days [IQR 2-10], adjusted subdistribution HR 0.54, 95% CIs 0.38-0.77).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Diaphragmatic dysfunction after adult cardiovascular surgery was significantly associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation and higher reintubation.
