Deep sedation vs femoral block anesthesia: beat-by-beat hemodynamic impact on TAVI procedure.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn spite of the increased use of Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) due to the better patient selection, well-trained operators and improved technology, the choice of the best anesthesia regimen remains an open question. In particular, it remains to be clarified whether deep sedation (DS) in spontaneous breathing or femoral local anesthesia (LA) is best.
objectiveThis study compared the hemodynamic variations determined by deep sedation (DS) with spontaneous breathing and local femoral anesthesia (LA) in 2 groups of patients submitted to TAVI with two different kinds of anesthesia, using a beat-by-beat pulse contour method (MostCare
methods82 patients with severe aortic stenosis and similar baseline characteristics and indications underwent trans-femoral TAVI: 50 with LA and 32 with DS. All patients were submitted to minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring. The following parameters were measured:
resultsThe TAVI procedure was successful in 89% of patients (VARC-2 criteria) with no difference between the 2 groups. Anesthesia induction determined a higher decrease of pressures in DS than in LA (P<0.01) with no differences in CO. The VAC parameters (Ea
conclusionThe use of the pulse contour method to track the fast-hemodynamic changes during the TAVI procedure proved suitable for the aim. As expected, LA and DS induced different pre-TAVI hemodynamic conditions, which influenced the post-TAVI hemodynamic changes. The hemodynamic conditions induced by LA, enabled the occurrence of post-TAVI aortic regurgitation to be detected more effectively.
