“…However, because of its addictive nature, the additive ES underestimates the risk in some groups of patients. At the same time, there has been an exponential growth in the availability of information technologies for the cardiac and surgical units of hospitals, which explains why the use of a risk model based on the equation complete logistics was gradually established [18]. Analysis included in this paper concerns only logistic ES.…”

Abstract. In recent decades different numeric indicators and methods have been used to qualify structured index that express health service components quality performance. The first step of this work is the definition of a model of the system under examination in order to define its measurable constituent entities (dimensions). Among the common measured clinical parameters, a robust metrics, characterizing the constituent entities and the best opportunity tools for the characterization of the results, have been identified. The last step is multimodal analysis of the results. Using this approach the paper presents an application in the evolution of the cardiological intensive care unit (ICU). Particularly, the attention of this paper is focused on the evolving of the medical team.

“…Patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis were referred for a percutaneous procedure due to multiple comorbidities and/or surgical risk (logistic EuroSCoRE ≥ 20%, indicating a 30-day predicted mortality ≥ 20% with operative management). [12][13][14] Patient preference for a percutaneous procedure was not considered an indication. The interventional cardiology team obtained informed consent for the procedure from all patients.…”

Purpose: To describe both the evolution and the main associated complications in the anesthetic management of the initial 40 patients at our centre who underwent percutaneous retrograde aortic valve replacement, a novel technique utilizing a catheterguided femoral artery approach. Clinical features:With institutional Research Ethics Board approval, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the first 40 patients who underwent percutaneous retrograde aortic valve replacement between January 2005 and March 2006. Information obtained included patient characteristics, anesthetic management, details of the procedure, and complications. All procedures were scheduled to be performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The first four patients received monitored anesthesia care, and the subsequent 36 underwent general anesthesia. There were no anesthesia-related adverse events. The prosthetic valve was placed successfully in 33/40 patients (83%). Median anesthetic time was 3.5 hr (range, 1.25-7.25 hr). Thirty-two/40 patients required vasopressor support. The most common, serious procedural complications were myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia following rapid ventricular pacing, hemorrhage from vascular injury secondary to the placement and removal of the large-bore sheath in the ilio-femoral artery, aortic rupture, and prosthetic valve maldeployment; 30-day mortality was 13% (n = 5/40). Conclusions:Percutaneous retrograde aortic valve replacement is a novel procedure that presents the anesthesiologist with unique challenges. Careful preoperative assessment, intraoperative monitoring appropriate for a major vascular procedure, and meticulous management of hemodynamics are imperative for a successful outcome. Serious complications, including major hemorrhage from vascular injury as well as arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia following rapid ventricular pacing, must be anticipated and managed in an expeditious fashion.
