Abstract
Despite the strong decline in the infection-associated mortality since the development of the first antibiotics, infectious diseases are still a major cause of death in the world. With the rising number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, the incidence of deaths caused by infections may increase strongly in the future. Survival rates in sepsis, which occurs when body response to infections becomes uncontrolled, are still very poor if an adequate therapy is not initiated immediately. Therefore, approaches to monitor the treatment efficacy are crucially needed to adapt therapeutic strategies according to the patient's response. An increasing number of photonic technologies are being considered for diagnostic purpose and monitoring of therapeutic response; however many of these strategies have not been introduced into clinical routine, yet. Here, we review photonic strategies to monitor response to treatment in patients with infectious disease, sepsis, and septic shock. We also include some selected approaches for the development of new drugs in animal models as well as new monitoring strategies which might be applicable to evaluate treatment response in humans in the future.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) is a water-soluble dye that is bound to plasma proteins when administered intravenously and nearly completely eliminated from the blood by the liver. ICG elimination depends on hepatic blood flow, hepatocellular function and biliary excretion. ICG elimination is considered as a useful dynamic test describing liver function and perfusion in the perioperative setting, i.e., in liver surgery and transplantation, as well as in critically ill patients. ICG plasma disappearance rate (ICG-PDR) which can be measured today by transcutaneous systems at the bedside is a valuable method for dynamic assessment of liver function and perfusion, and is regarded as a valuable prognostic tool in predicting survival of critically ill patients, presenting with sepsis, ARDS or acute liver failure.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) is a water-soluble anionic compound that binds to plasma proteins after intravenous administration. It is selectively taken up at the first pass by hepatocytes and excreted unchanged into the bile. With the development of ICG elimination measurement by spectrophotometry, the ICG retention test has become a safe, rapid, reproducible, inexpensive and noninvasive tool for the assessment of liver function. Clinical evidence suggests that the ICG retention test can enable the establishment of tailored management strategies by providing prognostic information. In particular, this method has been evaluated as a prognostic marker in patients with advanced cirrhosis or awaiting liver transplantation. In addition, it is used as a marker of portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients, as a prognostic factor in intensive care units and for the assessment of liver function in patients undergoing liver surgery. Since recent technology enables ICG-PDR to be measured noninvasively at the bedside, this parameter is an attractive addition to liver function and regional haemodynamic monitoring. However, the current state-of-the-art as concerns this technology remains at a low level of evidence and thorough assessment is required.

Abstract
Introduction During cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) haemodilution occurs. Hepatic dysfunction after CPB is a rare, but serious, complication. Clinical data have validated the plasma-disappearance rate of indocyanine green (PDR ICG) as a marker of hepatic function and perfusion. Primary objective of this analysis was to investigate the impact of haemodilutional anaemia on hepatic function and perfusion by the time course of PDR ICG and liver enzymes in elective CABG surgery. Secondary objective was to define predictors of prolonged ICU treatment like decreased PDR ICG after surgery. Methods 60 Patients were subjected to normothermic CPB with predefined levels of haemodilution anaemia (haemotacrit (Hct) of 25% versus 20% during CPB). Hepatic function and perfusion was assessed by PDR ICG, plasma levels of aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) and α-GST. Prolonged ICU treatment was defined as treatment ≥ 48 hours. Results Logistic regression analysis showed that all postoperative measurements of PDR ICG (P < 0.01), and the late postoperative ASAT (P < 0.01) measurement were independent risk factors for prolonged ICU treatment. The predictive capacity for prolonged ICU treatment was best of the PDR ICG one hour after admission to the ICU. Furthermore, the time course of PDR ICG as well as ASAT and α-GST did not differ between groups of haemodilutional anaemia. Conclusions Our study provides evidence that impaired PDR ICG as a marker of hepatic dysfunction and hypoperfusion may be a valid marker of prolonged ICU treatment. Additionally this study provides evidence that haemodilutional anaemia to a Hct of 20% does not impair hepatic function and perfusion. Trial registration [ISRCTN35655335]

Indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate during the anhepatic phase of orthotopic liver transplantation. J Gastrointest Surg 2008; 12:67-72.

Abstract
Non-invasive pulse spectrophotometry to measure indocyanine green (ICG) elimination correlates well with the conventional invasive ICG clearance test. Nevertheless, the precision of this method remains unclear for any application, including small-for-size liver remnants. We therefore measured ICG plasma disappearance rate (PDR) during the anhepatic phase of orthotopic liver transplantation using pulse spectrophotometry. Measurements were done in 24 patients. The median PDR after exclusion of two outliers and two patients with inconstant signal was 1.55%/min (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.8-2.2). No correlation with patient age, gender, body mass, blood loss, administration of fresh frozen plasma, norepinephrine dose, postoperative albumin (serum), or difference in pre and post transplant body weight was detected. In conclusion, we found an ICG-PDR different from zero in the anhepatic phase, an overestimation that may arise in particular from a redistribution into the interstitial space. If ICG pulse spectrophotometry is used to measure functional hepatic reserve, the verified average difference from zero (1.55%/min) determined in our study needs to be taken into account.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Germany, more than 100,000 patients are monitored and treated in 80 intensive care units (ICUs) following cardiac surgery each year. The controversies concerning the different methods of hemodynamic monitoring and the appropriate agents for volume therapy and inotropic support are well known. However, little is known about how monitoring and treatment are currently performed. METHODS A questionnaire with 39 questions was sent to the leading physicians of 80 ICUs in Germany, treating patients after cardiac surgery. The questions to be answered covered the current practice of hemodynamic monitoring, volume replacement, inotropic/vasopressor support and transfusions in patients after cardiac surgery. RESULTS Sixty-nine per cent of the questionnaires were completed and returned. All ICUs used basic monitoring as recommended by the societies. The use of advanced hemodynamic monitoring included the pulmonary artery catheter (58.2%), transesophageal echocardiography (38.1%) and transpulmonary dilution techniques (13%). Crystalloids (21.2%) and colloids (73%) were used for volume replacement. Epinephrine (41.8%) and dobutamine (30.9%) were the first-choice inotropic drugs for the treatment of low cardiac output syndrome, followed by phosphodiesterase inhibitors (14.5%). Second-choice drugs for the treatment of low cardiac output syndrome were enoximone (29%), milrinone (25%) and dobutamine (25%). A written transfusion protocol and a transfusion threshold for red blood cells existed in 59% and 79% of ICUs, respectively. CONCLUSION Hemodynamic monitoring and the variability in clinical practice with regard to volume replacement, transfusion triggers and the use of vasopressors/inotropes in cardiac surgery patients tend to follow the results of traditional experience rather than current scientific knowledge. Guidelines are therefore necessary to help to improve the standards of intensive care after cardiac surgery and thus the outcome of patients.
