[Refresher Course] Best Strategy for Weaning from CPB after Cardiac Surgery🚑 TEE · MCS Algorithms

📄 When the heart resumes its work, precision saves lives. This comprehensive refresher course presents a structured, evidence-informed approach to weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) after cardiac surgery. 🫀⚙️ Designed for anesthesiologists, cardiac anesthesiologists, intensivists, and perioperative physicians, this lecture integrates physiology, monitoring, echocardiography, pharmacology, and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) into a practical clinical framework. ________________________________________ 🔹 Part 1. CPB Weaning – General Principles 🔹 Introduction: The technology that protects life while the heart rests 🔹 What is cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)? 🔹 Pre-weaning preparation: the “pre-flight checklist” • Rhythm, rate, contractility • Afterload and preload optimization 🔹 CPB Weaning Checklist • Temperature, electrolytes, metabolic and hematologic status, coagulation • Hemodynamic monitoring: HR, rhythm, MAP, CO/CI, preload, SvO₂, lactate • TEE assessment: ventricular function, chamber size, filling, valve function, surgical results, dynamic abnormalities 🖥️ 🔹 Ventilator management • Resumption of lung ventilation • Key ventilatory parameters and fine adjustments 🔹 Stepwise transfer of responsibility from CPB to the heart • Team communication 🤝 • Venous return and CPB flow reduction • Preload optimization • Complete separation from CPB 🔹 When additional support is required: concepts and mechanisms of difficult CPB weaning ________________________________________ 🔹 Part 2. Advanced Management of CPB Weaning Failure 📌 Diagnostic framework for four major categories of difficult CPB weaning • Diagnostic criteria, incidence, risk factors, and management strategies 📌 Summary of key studies on • Risk factors for post-cardiac surgery vasoplegia • Risk factors for postoperative ventricular dysfunction 📌 Stepwise algorithm for CPB weaning 1️⃣ Pre-weaning checklist verification 2️⃣ Hemodynamic goal setting and preload optimization 3️⃣ Pharmacologic intervention 💉 📌 Intraoperative use of inotropes and vasopressors • Comparative table: dosing, mechanisms, hemodynamic effects, indications, adverse effects 📌 Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) selection algorithms in LCOS • Cardio-respiratory failure • RV failure • LV failure • Bi-ventricular failure 📌 Comparison of short-term and mid-term MCS devices • Mechanism, access, position, maximal flow, advantages, and risks ________________________________________ 🔹 Part 3. Failure Analysis and High-Risk Patient Management 📖 Introduction: clinical impact of failed CPB weaning 📖 Core principles for successful separation from CPB • Patient state optimization • Cardiopulmonary preparation • Team and equipment readiness 🎯 The decisive role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) 📖 Case-based analysis using TEE (all three cases fully discussed): 1️⃣ Intracardiac air embolism 2️⃣ Aortic regurgitation occurring on CPB 3️⃣ Dynamic LVOT obstruction due to systolic anterior motion (SAM) 📌 Conclusion: improving outcomes through a TEE-guided, protocol-based approach
