Abstract:
Objective:To explore the tricuspid annular plane systolic excusion(TAPSE) in children with left-to-right shunt after congenital heart disease surgery and to understand the early systolic function of right heart in thesepatient.Methods:From June 2018 to December 2018, a prospective study was conducted in 20 infants after repair of left-to-right shunt congenital heart disease, including 10 males(50%) and 10 females(50%) , aged from 1 to 12 months, with a median of 4.5(2.0, 6.8) months, a body mass of 3.0-9.0 kg with median of 6.0(3.7, 7.7) kg.On the first postoperative day, blood was taken from central venous for N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT pro-BNP) test, TAPSE and left ventricular ejective fraction(LVEF) was measured by echocardiography.The effects of aortic occlusion time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, preoperative pneumonia and preoperative heart failure on TAPSE were compared. The relationship between TAPSE and heart rate, systolic pressure, central venous pressure, vasoactive drug score, endotracheal intubation time, detention time in intensive care unit, NT pro-BNP and LVEF after operation was analysed.Results:The aortic cross-clamping time was 15-87 minutes, with median 31(28, 50) minutes. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was 35-117 minutes, with an average of(68±22)minutes. The time of tracheal intubation was 4-117 hours, with an average of(50±35) hours. The stay time in CICU was 1-14 days, with a median of 5(2, 7) days.The LVEF was 0.18-0.66, with median 0.53(0.42, 0.57). The TAPSE was 2.0-10.0 mm, with an average of(5.2±2.0) mm. On the first day after operation, NT pro-BNP was 1 548-35 000 pg/ml, with an average of(9 446±8 130) pg/ml.TAPSE was negatively correlated with postoperative intubation time( r=-0.576, P= 0.007) and detention time in ICU( r=-0.765, P=0.000), and positively correlated with postoperative LVEF( r=0.461, P=0.041)( P<0.05). TAPSE was negatively correlated with heart rate( r=-0.303, P=0.193), central venous pressure( r=-0.425, P=0.062), vasoactive drug score( r=-0.418, P=0.067) and NT Pro BNP( r=-0.348, P=0.132), and positively correlated with systolic pressure( r=0.146, P=0.54), but there was no statistical significance in each item.Compared with patients with TAPSE≥5mm, the detention time and tracheal intubation time were longer than those TAPSE<5 mm, the central venous pressure and NT-pro BNP was higher than those TAPSE<5 mm( P<0.05), the difference was statistically significant, other indicators had no significant difference. Conclusion:It is simple and feasible to measure TAPSE by echocardiography in children after operation with left-to-right shunt congenital heart disease.TAPSE decreased postoperatively suggested that the function of right ventricle decreased at the early stage after surgery, and with left ventricle systolic function decreased, which eventually led to the increase of NT pro-BNP, the need for higher doses of vasoactive drug support, longer tracheal intubation time and the stay time in CICU.Attention should be paid to the right heart function of children after congenital heart surgery.
