Mihi Whakatau

The Mihi Whakatau is the welcome ceremony or ritual ceremony of encounter of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand. It removes the tapu of the manuhiri (visitors) to make them one with the tangata whenua (home people) and is a gradual process of the manuhiri and the tangata whenua coming together.

Traditionally the process served to discover whether the visiting party were friend or foe, and so its origins lay partly in military necessity. As the ceremony progressed, and after friendly intent was established, it became a formal welcoming of guests (manuhiri) by the hosts (tangata whenua or home people).

It is a sacred and important ceremony to all New Zealanders and is treated with much respect.

Mihi Whakatau Protocol

Karanga: High pitched voices of women from both sides, calling to each other to establish intent.

Karakia: A prayer is said to ensure the safety of the people and to ensure that all stages are carried out without disturbance. The prayer is said by both Manuhiri and Tangata Whenua.

Mihi: Exchange of greetings by the orators of both sides. This oratory is much prized. A display of knowledge of whakapapa (genealogy and history), mythology and a mastery of language, rhetoric and dramatic presentation. During these speeches links between the ancestors and the living are made, and genealogical links between tangata whenua and manuhiri are emphasised.

Waiata: Each speech is followed by the performance of a waiata (song) by the orators support group. The quality of the performance is important, and reflects on the orator, and the orator’s party.

Hongi: A gentle pressing of noses, and signifies the mingling together of the sacred breath of life, and the two sides become one.

From the Presidents of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists

On behalf of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) and the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists (NZSA), it is our pleasure to welcome you to Auckland for this very special meeting. Combining our New Zealand Anaesthesia 2012 annual scientific meeting with the 13th International Congress of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia (ICCVA) provides an exciting opportunity to host ICCVA colleagues here in New Zealand, along with a large contingent of Australasian anaesthetists and visitors from around the world.

While ANZCA and the NZSA, in conjunction with the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, are co-hosts, the real credit for this meeting must go to the regional organising committee drawn from Auckland City Hospital’s anaesthesia team.

That committee, led by co-convenors Dr Marian Hussey and Dr Ivan Bergman, have put together a fantastic meeting with what is probably the best line-up of presenters on anaesthesia yet seen in New Zealand. Our thanks especially to the scientific convenors led by Professor Alan Merry, Dr Paul Gardiner and Dr Nelis Kruger, as well as Workshop Convenor Dr Robert Grieve. Their programme offers us three excellent streams – a specialist cardiac stream, a general stream and a third that bridges the two – giving us superb choice throughout the next three days. There is also a first-class range of social occasions so that we can meet new and old colleagues, and a well-subscribed industry exhibition to showcase the latest developments.

We hope you make the most of these opportunities and we look forward to meeting many of you during the meeting.

Welcome to our meeting

Welcome on behalf of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists

On behalf of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, it is my sincere pleasure and privilege to welcome you to the New Zealand Anaesthesia 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting with the 13th International Congress of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia (ICCVA) conference.

The program organizers are to be congratulated for putting together an exciting and excellent scientific program that will reinforce traditional and stimulate novel and innovative discussions. As we dedicate ourselves to continuously advancing knowledge and understanding of cardiovascular anesthesiology, the SCA is proud to support this 2012 international gathering in New Zealand, an exciting, beautiful and diverse country, so we may learn not just from each other but also about one another. I look forward with great excitement and anticipation for what promises to be stimulating discussions centered on high quality scientific content, engagement of the senses from an incredibly beautiful country, and developing new friendships as well as cultivating old relationships among colleagues.

The SCA would like to thank Dr Marian Hussey, Dr Ivan Bergman, Professor Alan Merry, Dr Paul Gardiner, Dr Nelis Kruger, and Dr Robert Grieve as well as all the members of the organizing committee for their efforts to put together this 2012 ICCVA.

PBLD 04 – ArrhythmiasAtrial fibrillation – the latest management guidelines

Among all cardiovascular complications, atrial fibrillation remains common, having an incidence that is consistently reported to range between 27 and 40%, with little change over the past two decades. As well, it is clear that atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased incidence of congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency, and stroke, prolonging hospitalization and increasing rehospitalization after discharge. By examining the case of a 70 year old male undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve replacement, participants in this problem-based learning discussion (PBLD) will become familiar with the current concepts regarding the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation and the strategies that are available to prevent and manage this arrhythmia.

Workshop 07 – Intermediate / advanced TEETEE Master Class

Prof Christopher Troianos (USA) – Ischemic mitral regurgitationIschemic mitral regurgitation (MR) occurs in the absence of structural pathology of the mitral valve after a myocardial infarction. It is a significant predictor of both short and long term outcome. Detailed TEE evaluation of the mitral valve structure and function directs appropriate repair that addresses regional or global left ventricular dysfunction, papillary muscle displacement with leaflet tethering, and progressive annular dilation.

Dr Jörg Ender (Germany) – 3D Echocardiography of the mitral valve and hybrid imagingCareful echocardiographic evaluation of the mitral valve to identify pathological segments and risk factors in patients undergoing mitral valve repair is essential for successful surgical treatment. Post-repair echocardiographic evaluation is also important. We will discuss the potential benefit of 3 D- echo in these patients as well as combining other imaging techniques with echocardiography for surgical planning and simulation.

A/Prof Stéphane Lambert (Canada) – 3D Echocardiography of the aortic and tricuspid valves As surgeons develop elaborate repair techniques for the aortic valve, they require more detailed information about its structure and function. The valve is complex and it presents many challenges to the 2D-echocardiographer. 3D is intuitively more obvious, facilitates communication, and provides information unavailable in 2D, but it also

has significant limitations. We will discuss the various applications of 3D-echo in aortic stenosis and insufficiency.

A/Prof Rosanne Sheinberg (USA) – You make the call!Advanced TEE cases will be presented. Questions focusing on echocardiographic findings will be asked and an audience response system will be utilized for consideration. A discussion regarding the significance of the echocardiographic findings will follow each presentation.

At the completion of this session, participants will be able to 1) recognize the pathology presented in each case2) communicate the echocardiographic findings and the

significance of these findings to perioperative colleagues

Workshop 13 – Intermediate / advanced TEETEE master class

Beyond the 20 views: The standardized TEE examination ensures reproducibility and completeness of intraoperative studies, but the examination may need to deviate from the standard in the presence of disease. This workshop discusses how the basic-exam gives rise to various “sub-routines” for assessment of specific structures. We will review cross-sections that are not part of the standard exam, and provide examples of clinical situations where they are important.

Assessing the prosthetic valve: Many patients undergo valvular procedures every year, including repairs, replacements and revisions of prior work. Operative TEE is an integral component of patient management. Intraoperative assessment includes valvular function and suitability for repair versus replacement, overall ventricular function and assessment of co-existing pathology. This lecture will discuss valvular procedures from time of initial repair or implantation through to assessment of complications, including infection, thrombosis and degenerative changes.

Tissue Doppler imaging: The myocardium is composed of muscle fibers which contract either in a circumferential, radial, or longitudinal fashion. One objective method of assessing the degree of contraction and relaxation of the myocardium is by the application of Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI). We will review how this method of assessment of diastolic function has a slight advantage over one involving pulsed Doppler imaging of transmitral flow of blood.

Zealand

BackgroundAdequate light is essential for vision during direct laryngoscopy. The ISO 7376:2009 Standard specifies the minimum illuminance for laryngoscopes. No studies have objectively examined the relationship between laryngoscope illumination and visual acuity during laryngoscopy.

MethodsThe near visual performance of 50 anaesthetists was measured during direct laryngoscopy using near vision charts located at the larynx of four manikins. A variable voltage supply adjusted the illuminance from the laryngoscope to 50, 200, 700 and 2000 lux. Participants also rated their experience regarding brightness of the laryngoscope, clarity of view, visual performance, suitability and adequacy of the light, before proceeding to the next manikin with a different light level. The distance visual performance of the participants was also measured using standard letter acuity wall charts at the same light levels.

ResultsVisual acuity in manikins and on wall charts was associated with an increasing lux level (p<0.0001). Visual acuity was lower at 50 and 200 lux compared to 700 lux by significantly greater than the clinically discernible 0.1 logMAR. No statistically significant improvement in visual acuity occurred when illuminance was increased to 2000 lux. Visual acuity of participants was significantly better on the wall charts than the manikin charts (p<0.0001). The mean (standard deviation) logMAR scores at the four chosen lux levels on the manikin charts were: 50 lux 0.05 (0.13), 200 lux 0.06 (0.10), 700 lux -0.05 (0.11), 2000 lux -0.07 (0.11). This result was unaffected by age, seniority, sub-specialty, history of difficulty focusing, or use of lenses for laryngoscopy. Subjective rating of laryngoscope brightness favored 2000 lux for clarity of view, suitability of the light for laryngoscopy and visual performance. The average observation distance for direct laryngoscopy was 32 cm.

Friday 16 November, 1330 – 1500

31

DiscussionThis is the first study to objectively measure visual performance during direct laryngoscopy. The results may help improve the international standards for laryngoscope light and highlight the importance of appropriate light during near vision tasks such as direct laryngoscopy. A greater appreciation of how to optimize a view of the larynx could help decrease failed intubation and airway morbidity. The median near observation distance of 32 cm, found in our study, is less than the normal 40 cm near working distance expected for everyday tasks indicating that direct laryngoscopy is a very demanding near vision task. Corrective lenses could be needed at an earlier age for this closer distance and lenses specifically for laryngoscopy should be stronger than ordinary corrective lenses for reading.

ConclusionsVisual acuity improves as the laryngoscope illuminance increases up to 700 lux. No significant improvement was measured by increasing the illuminance up to 2000 lux. Subjectively, anaesthetists favor illuminance of 2000 lux for direct laryngoscopy.

Should we measure blood pressure at the ankle instead of the arm at elective caesarean section?

Drake, Matthew1; Hill, Jack1

IntroductionEarly detection of hypotension at caesarean section is important since reduced uteroplacental perfusion can be detrimental to the fetus and nausea and vomiting are unpleasant for the mother. Shivering and movement artefact can interfere with non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measured on the arm, and the cuff can cause discomfort; these problems can be avoided by measuring NIBP at the ankle during neuraxial anaesthesia. Since aortocaval compression reduces femoral arterial pressure more than brachial, ankle NIBP may also better reflect uteroplacental perfusion.1 We investigated reliability, accuracy and acceptability of arm and ankle NIBP measurements at caesarean section.

MethodsFollowing ethical approval and power calculations, 67 women with term singleton pregnancies for elective caesarean section were recruited. All received regional anaesthesia. Appropriately-sized NIBP cuffs were applied to left arm and ankle. Regular concurrent blood pressure measurements were taken throughout the case. Failed or slow readings were noted. Patient satisfaction data of ankle versus arm NIBP measurement were collected.

ResultsThe 2322 pairs of NIBPs were compared by Bland-Altman analysis. Mean difference (95% limits of agreement lower, upper) between ankle and arm NIBP for mean arterial pressure (MAP) was -0.80mmHg (-21.16, 19.56), systolic blood pressure was 11.55 mmHg (-20.85, 43.96), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was -3.89 mmHg (-25.41, 17.63). 19% stated that the arm cuff caused discomfort or pain (0% for ankle cuff), and 58% thought the arm cuff affected their ability to hold their baby (0% for ankle cuff). 6.9% of arm NIBP readings either failed completely or had a prolonged measurement time; this was just 2.4% for the ankle NIBP readings.

Detection of Inadequate Ventilation post-CPB

To err is human. At the cessation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) the anaesthetist may be involved in a variety of different tasks and it is possible that occasionally the reinstitution of ventilation may be overlooked. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of a novel ventilator alarm.

With ethical committee consent we were given access to a repository of anonymised anaesthesia records as generated by an automated record keeping system [1]. The repository was searched for “bypass” and a total of 575 out of 5226 records were found. Of those, 150 were accessed, resulting in 72 records that were complete and without artefact. One additional record was omitted from the analysis as, on visual inspection, it was unclear if full CPB had been instituted; ventilation was continuous throughout the procedure with normal EtCO2 values.

Files were converted from xml format for analysis on an Excel spreadsheet. An algorithm, developed as part of a monitoring software package (EBMi), was devised to detect the change from ON-CPB to OFF-CPB using changes in pulse pressure and then to detect inadequate ventilation. The time from OFF-CPB to a respiratory rate of ≥6/min or an EtCO2 > 3kPa, considered the onset ventilation, was determined. If these criteria were not met after approximately 5 minutes an alert was generated. The output of the algorithm was confirmed by visual inspection of the time series.

There were 100 OFF-CPB events detected during the 72 anaesthetics; of the excess number of events (28) 24 were, without doubt, false positives. The remaining four events represent second attempts to come off bypass in four patients. The 76 correctly detected OFF-CPB events generated 2 false positive ventilation alerts and there were an additional 4 alerts from the 24 false positive OFF-CPB events: a total false positive rate of 6%. There were 7 alerts that were appropriate (in all cases the EtCO2 was low; there were no cases of failure

DiscussionIt is advantageous to measure NIBP at the ankle during caesarean delivery under regional anaesthesia as MAP and DBP readings are similar at arm and ankle. Use of an ankle NIBP cuff for caesarean section has fewer failed or slow readings and is more acceptable for patients in terms of comfort and ability to hold their baby, thus facilitating benefits of early skin-to-skin contact.2

to institute ventilation) and in 67 cases there were appropriately no alerts (a total true negative rate of 87% with the 20 non-alerts from the false OFF-CPB events). Overall, for alert generation, the sensitivity was 1 and the specificity 0.94.

Some false alerts were found to be associated with atypical physiological values in the records at the time of coming off bypass or at the end of surgery when some monitoring may have been discontinued. In this sample of 72 records the onset of ventilation was prior to the time of “off-bypass”. It is suggested that although there was no record showing delayed onset of ventilation this system would detect it should it occur.

A video-based intervention to improve anaesthetists’ team communication and information sharing in simulated critical events: a randomised controlled trial.

Approval for this study was obtained from the Northern Y Ethics Committee, New Zealand

BackgroundSafe patient care requires effective team communication, and sharing of situational information is a key component. Shared information of the case, shared problem solving and understanding of plans and priorities is needed to ensure the team is working together towards a common goal1 2. ‘Call out’ or recap of the situation, is a strategy to improve information sharing (Figure 1).

Primary hypothesis: a video-based intervention modelling call out would improve the quality of anaesthetists’ call-out. Secondary hypothesis: Call out would improve sharing of information between members of the team.

MethodsWe recruited 43 anaesthetists, recovery nurses and anaesthetic technicians. Anaesthetists were randomly allocated to study or control groups and undertook a baseline simulation - one of two simulated scenarios set in PACU and including diagnostic uncertainty likely to trigger a call out (order randomised).

34

Prior to the simulation the nurse and technician received unique information, unknown to the anaesthetist, about the case (information probes).The anaesthetist, nurse and technician then worked together in the simulation.

After the scenario participants independently answered written questions about the case, including information in the probes, and treatment instituted.

The study or control intervention followed the baseline simulation. The study video described and role-modelled a structured call out. The control video described and role-modelled the DAS difficult airway guidelines.

Email reminders of intervention key points were sent to all anaesthetists two weeks post-intervention.

Four weeks post-intervention, anaesthetists completed the assessment simulation, working with different nurses and technicians. (Figure 2)

Trained raters scored the quality of the call-out in the video-recorded baseline and assessment simulations against a pre-defined scoring rubric on an 8-point scale. The number of information probes shared by each team and correct treatment actions reported by participants were combined to give a composite score – ‘team knowledge of the case’. Data were analysed using ANOVA.

ResultsPaired data were obtained for 40 anaesthetists in baseline and assessment simulations. The quality of the call out increased significantly more in the study group than the control group (p < 0.001). The score for the ‘call out’ increased 2.3 points in the intervention group, and decreased 0.3 points in the control group (on the 8 point scale). Team knowledge of the case increased significantly more in the study group than in the control group (p < 0.05).

DiscussionThe quality of anaesthetists’ call outs in a simulated case can be enhanced by using a video intervention and reminder email. Our results lend some weight to the proposition that enhanced ‘call out’ has a positive influence on sharing of situational information among anaesthesia teams, contributing to improved shared understanding of the case. Transfer of

this communication strategy to the clinical environment has the potential to improve team communication and patient management.
