Abstrakt: Objectives: This study was designed to prospectively investigate the effects of pericardiectomy via median sternotomy on intra- and postoperative hemodynamics by a new semi-invasive device (Flotrac/VigileoTM monitor) using arterial pressure waveform analysis. Patients and Methods: Thirty consecutive patients aged 15 to 55 years (mean+SD, 31.73 + 13.53 years), who had undergone total pericardiectomy via median sternotomy underwent serial hemodynamic evaluation. FlotracTM Sensor - derived stroke volume, stroke volume variation, systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), cardiac index and right atrial pressure were measured just before and after pericardiectomy, at 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and at discharge postoperatively. Results: Majority of patients (73.33%) exhibited statistically significant reduction of right atrial pressure and SVRI along with improvement in cardiac index and oxygen delivery in the immediate and late postoperative period. However, the stroke volume and stroke volume variation did not increase proportionately on completion of surgery. Patients with low cardiac output syndrome exhibited persistently high central venous pressure with reduced cardiac index and echocardiographically abnormal diastolic filling characteristics. Conclusions: We conclude that there is early normalization of hemodynamics following pericardiectomy via median sternotomy and the adequacy of pericardiectomy can be accurately assessed by the new semi-invasive arterial pressure waveform analysis device. Stroke volume variation is a non-predictor of fluid requirement during and after pericardiectomy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
