体外循环时心肌细胞上ICAM-1的变化及抑肽酶对其表达的影响

为观察心脏瓣膜置换术病人在CPB前后心肌上ICAM-1的表达,并探讨抑肽酶对其表达的影响,选择择期心脏瓣膜替换术病人20例,随机分为抑肽酶组和对照组,各10例。分别于手术开始及结束时取右心房心肌标本,采用免疫组化法检测心肌细胞及心肌血管内皮细胞上ICAM-1的表达,以测得ICAM-1积分光密度值（IOD值）进行分析。结果心脏瓣膜替换术病人CPB后心肌细胞上ICAM-1的表达较术前有明显增加（P<0.05）,而在抑肽酶组则无明显变化。组间比较,差异具有显著意义,P<0.05。在对照组,心肌血管EC上ICAM-1在CPB后表达明显增加（P<0.05）,而抑肽酶组,差异无显著性。组间比较,P<0.05。认为CPB时心肌细胞及心肌血管EC上ICAM-1的表达增高,ICAM-1可能参与CPB时心肌的炎症损伤,抑肽酶可以通过抑制ICAM-1的表达而减轻CPB所致的炎症反应。     

Mathematical model of volume kinetics and renal function after burn injury and resuscitation

This paper presents a mathematical model of blood volume kinetics and renal function in response to burn injury and resuscitation, which is applicable to the development and non-clinical testing of burn resuscitation protocols and algorithms. Prior mathematical models of burn injury and resuscitation are not ideally suited to such applications due to their limited credibility in predicting blood volume and urinary output observed in wide-ranging burn patients as well as in incorporating contemporary knowledge of burn pathophysiology. Our mathematical model consists of an established multi-compartmental model of blood volume kinetics, a hybrid mechanistic-phenomenological model of renal function, and novel lumped-parameter models of burn-induced perturbations in volume kinetics and renal function equipped with contemporary knowledge on burn-related physiology and pathophysiology. Using the dataset collected from 16 sheep, we showed that our mathematical model can be characterized with physiologically plausible parameter values to accurately predict blood volume kinetic and renal function responses to burn injury and resuscitation on an individual basis against a wide range of pathophysiological variability. Pending validation in humans, our mathematical model may serve as an effective basis for in-depth understanding of complex burn-induced volume kinetic and renal function responses as well as development and non-clinical testing of burn resuscitation protocols and algorithms.     

Variation in acute fluid resuscitation among pediatric burn centers

BackgroundAccurate resuscitation of pediatric patients with large thermal injury is critical to achieving optimal outcomes. The goal of this project was to describe the degree of variability in resuscitation guidelines among pediatric burn centers and the impact on fluid estimates.MethodsFive pediatric burn centers in the Pediatric Injury Quality Improvement Collaborative (PIQIC) contributed data from patients with ≥15% total body surface area (TBSA) burns treated from 2014 to 2018. Each center's resuscitation guidelines and guidelines from the American Burn Association were used to calculate estimated 24-h fluid requirements and compare these values to the actual fluid received.ResultsDifferences in the TBSA burn at which fluid resuscitation was initiated, coefficients related to the Parkland formula, criteria to initiate dextrose containing fluids, and urine output goals were observed. Three of the five centers’ resuscitation guidelines produced statistically significant lower mean fluid estimates when compared with the actual mean fluid received for all patients across centers (4.53 versus 6.35 ml/kg/% TBSA, p < 0.001), (4.90 versus 6.35 ml/kg/TBSA, p = 0.002) and (3.38 versus 6.35 ml/kg/TBSA, p < 0.0001).ConclusionsThis variation in practice patterns led to statistically significant differences in fluid estimates. One center chose to modify its resuscitation guidelines at the conclusion of this study.     

Adoption of rescue colloid during burn resuscitation decreases fluid administered and restores end-organ perfusion

IntroductionTraditionally, lactated Ringer’s solution (LR) has been utilized for the resuscitation of thermally injured patients via the Parkland or Brooke formulas. Both of these formulas include colloid supplementation after 24 h of resuscitation. Recently, the addition of albumin within the initial resuscitation has been reported to decrease fluid creep and hourly fluids given. Our institution has previously advocated for a crystalloid-driven resuscitation. Given reports of improved outcomes with albumin, we pragmatically adjusted these practices and present our findings for doing so.MethodsOur burn registry, consisting of prospectively collected patient data, was queried for those at least 18 years of age who, between July 2017 and December 2018, sustained a thermal injury and completed a formal resuscitation (24 h). At the attending physician’s discretion, rescue colloid was administered using 25% albumin for those failing to respond to traditional resuscitation (patients with sustained urine output of <0.5 mL/kg over 2–3 h, or unstable vital signs and ongoing fluid administration). We compared the total volume of the crystalloid-only and rescue colloid resuscitation fluids given to patients. We also examined the in/out fluid balances during resuscitation. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata software.ResultsA total of 91 patients with thermal injuries were included: the median age was 40 (IQR 31–57), 73% were male, and 30 patients received rescue albumin. The percentage of total body surface area burned (%TBSA) was greater in those who received rescue albumin (40.3% vs. 34%; p = 0.047). Despite a higher %TBSA in the albumin group, the total LR given during resuscitation was not significantly different between groups (15,914.43 mL vs. 11,828.71 mL; p = 0.129) even when normalized for TBSA and weight (ml LR/kg/%TBSA: 4.31 vs. 3.66; p = 0.129. The average in/out fluid ratio for the rescue group was higher than for the crystalloid group (0.83 ± 0.05 vs. 0.59 ± 0.11; p = 0.06) and returned to normal after colloid administration.ConclusionRescue albumin administration decreases the amount of fluid administered per %TBSA during resuscitation, and also increases end organ function as evidenced by increased urinary output. These effects occurred in patients who sustained larger burns and failed to respond to traditional crystalloid resuscitation. Our findings led us to modify our current protocol and a related prospective study of clinical outcomes.     

Cardiopulmonary bypass

The purpose of cardiopulmonary bypass is to maintain perfusion and oxygenation of the vital organs in the absence of heart and lung function, usually to facilitate surgery on the heart, but occasionally in other situations. Although the intricacies of the modern extracorporeal circuit and the conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass are the domain of the clinical perfusion scientist (‘perfusionist’), safe surgery mandates a good understanding of some fundamentals by the anaesthetist and the surgeon. This review is aimed at the anaesthetist. First, we will systematically examine the main components of the extracorporeal circuit, travelling in the direction that blood travels, from the venous cannula to the arterial cannula. Then we will describe the process of preparing for bypass, ‘going on’, conducting a bypass run, and weaning and separation from bypass. It is crucial to have clear communication between the surgeon, perfusionist and anaesthetist. This can be difficult for the novice because a quite specific language has evolved in cardiac operating theatres to signal key events in the cardiopulmonary bypass sequence. As we go through this article, we will highlight commonly used terminology and expressions used.     

Máscara laríngea I-Gel® versus bolsa-válvula-mascarilla en la reanimación cardiopulmonar instrumental bajo monitorización capnográfica: ensayo clínico piloto aleatorizado por grupos

ObjectiveTo compare the basic airway and the advanced airway with the supraglottic device I-Gel®, by means of capnography during intermediate CPR.DesignRandomized experimental pilot study by groups.SettingOut-hospital care basic life support units on the Island of Mallorca.ParticipantsAdults attended after cardiorespiratory arrest of non-traumatic origin.InterventionsAdvanced airway management during instrumental CPR with I-Gel® or basic CPR with bag-valve-mask, under capnographic monitoring.Main measurementsCapnometric levels obtained according to the device used, number of insertions of the I-Gel®, cases without achieving correct insertion/ventilation by branches, achievement of ROSC in CPR and number of hospital live admissions.ResultsTwenty-three cases were recruited for analysis. The insertion success rate of the I-Gel® was 92.9% at the first attempt, the mean capnometric values were 16.3 mmHg in the control group and 27.4% in the intervention group. 34.8% (n = 8) of the patients achieved spontaneous circulation recovery at some point and 26.1% (n = 6) were admitted to hospital alive. The survival analysis, taking into account the arrival of the unit and the first minute of ventilations recorded together with the variable hospital admission, suggests a certain trend of greater survival in the intervention branch (P = .066).ConclusionsThe use of I-Gel® raises an improvement in the ventilation of the patients in PCR, evidenced by the mean capnometric values in the intervention group, finding no correlation with CPR outcome variables.
