Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fluid overload is a common postoperative complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Although this condition is notably associated with relevant adverse outcomes, assessment of hydration status in clinical practice is challenging. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) has emerged as a potentially effective method to monitor hydration changes, but the available evidence in critically ill patients undergoing cardiac surgery is limited and sometimes conflicting. The aim of this study was to explore by mean of BIVA the evolution over time of hydration status and its impact on relevant outcomes. METHODS Prospective observational study enrolling 130 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Height normalized impedance was calculated both before surgery (baseline) and in the first five postoperative days. Relevant clinical and laboratory data were collected daily close to BIVA measurements. Length of mechanical ventilation (MV), intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay exceeding the 75th percentile of the study population were considered as study endpoints. RESULTS Compared to baseline, a significant reduction in impedance was found at first postoperative day, demonstrating a relevant fluid overload. An adjusted impedance at first postoperative day shorter than the best respective threshold was associated to longer MV (7.4 times), ICU stay (4.7 times) and hospital stay (5.6 times). A significant change in impedance and phase angle was documented throughout the observation days (p < 0.001), without returning to the baseline value. The co-existence of low impedance and high plasma osmolarity increased significantly the risk of incurring the study outcomes. CONCLUSIONS In patients with cardiac surgery-induced fluid overload, recovery to baseline conditions occurs slowly. A relevant early fluid overload should be considered predictive for longer time of MV, ICU and total hospital stay.

Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2023; 325:H665-H672.

Abstract
This study sought to determine to what extent acute exposure to microgravity (0 G) and related increases in central blood volume (CBV) during parabolic flight influence the regional redistribution of intra and extra cranial cerebral blood flow (CBF). Eleven healthy participants performed during two parabolic flights campaigns aboard the Airbus A310-ZERO G aircraft. The response of select variables for each of the 15 parabolas involving exposure to both 0 G and hypergravity (1.8 G) were assessed in the seated position. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were continuously monitored and used to calculate stroke volume (SV), cardiac output ([Formula: see text]), and systemic vascular resistance (SVR). Changes in CBV were measured using an impedance monitor. Extracranial flow through the internal carotid, external carotid, and vertebral artery ([Formula: see text]ICA, [Formula: see text]ECA, and [Formula: see text]VA), and intracranial blood velocity was measured by duplex ultrasound. When compared with 1-G baseline condition, 0 G increased CBV (+375 ± 98 mL, P = 0.004) and [Formula: see text] (+16 ± 14%, P = 0.024) and decreased SVR (-7.3 ± 5 mmHg·min·L-1, P = 0.002) and MAP (-13 ± 4 mmHg, P = 0.001). [Formula: see text]ECA increased by 43 ± 46% in 0 G (P = 0.030), whereas no change was observed for CBF, [Formula: see text]ICA, or [Formula: see text]VA (P = 0.102, P = 0.637, and P = 0.095, respectively).NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our findings demonstrate that in microgravity there is a selective increase in external carotid artery blood flow whereas global and regional cerebral blood flow remained preserved. To what extent this reflects an adaptive, neuroprotective response to counter overperfusion remains to be established.

Abstract
Fluid overload is a chronic medical condition that affects over six million Americans with conditions such as congestive heart failure, end-stage renal disease, and lymphedema. Remote management of fluid overload continues to be a leading clinical challenge. Bioimpedance is one technique that can be used to estimate the hydration of tissue and track it over time. However, commercially available bioimpedance measurement systems are bulky, expensive, and rely on Ag/AgCl electrodes that dry out and can irritate the skin. The use of bioimpedance today is therefore limited to clinical and research settings, with measurements performed at daily intervals or over short periods of time rather than continuously and long-term. This paper proposes using wearable calf bioimpedance measurements integrated into a compression sock for long-term fluid overload management. A PCB was developed using standard measurement techniques that measures the calf bioimpedance using a custom analog front-end built around an AD8302 gain-phase detection chip. Data is transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy to an iOS device using a custom iOS app. Bioimpedance data were collected both from the wearable system and a commercial measurement system (ImpediMed SFB7) using RRC networks, Ag/AgCl electrodes, and the textile compression sock. Bioimpedance data collected from the wearable system showed close agreement with data from the SFB7 when using RRC networks and in five healthy human subjects with Ag/AgCl electrodes. However, when using the textile compression sock the wearable system had worse precision than the SFB7 (4% run to run compared to <1% run to run) and there were larger differences between the two systems than when using the RRC networks and the Ag/AgCl electrodes. Wearable system precision and agreement with the SFB7 was improved by pressure or light wetting of the current electrodes on the sock. Future research should focus on reliable elimination of low-frequency artifacts in research grade hardware to enable long-term calf bioimpedance measurements for fluid overload management.

Abstract
The following case study demonstrates that the effectiveness of Deep Tissue Massage (DTM) can be monitored in real time with bioimpedance. DTM techniques are used as a medical treatment to help reduce swelling of the calves of congestive heart failure patients. Bioimpedance monitoring shows immediately how fluid is redistributed within the intravascular, interstitial and intracellular fluid compartments, and how long the redistribution lasts. Bioimpedance spectroscopy, as used in this study, is a non-invasive procedure that can be used to monitor compartment fluid volumes and changes during many fluid management procedures.

Abstract
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a respiratory/ventilation procedure that is used to maintain or improve breathing in clinical and experimental cases that exhibit impaired lung function. Body fluid shift movement is not monitored during PEEP application in intensive care units (ICU), which would be interesting specifically in hypotensive patients. Brain injured and hypotensive patients are known to have compromised cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation (AR) but currently, there is no non-invasive way to assess the risk of implementing a hypotensive resuscitation strategy and PEEP use in these patients. The advantage of electrical bioimpedance measurement is that it is noninvasive, continuous, and convenient. Since it has good time resolution, it is ideal for monitoring in intensive care units (ICU). The basis of its future use is to establish physiological correlates. In this study, we demonstrate the use of electrical bioimpedance measurement during bleeding and the use of PEEP in pig measurement. In an anesthetized pig, we performed multimodal recording on the torso and head involving electrical bioimpedance spectroscopy (EIS), fixed frequency impedance plethysmography (IPG), and bipolar (rheoencephalography - REG) measurements and processed data offline. Challenges (n=16) were PEEP, bleeding, change of SAP, and CO2 inhalation. The total measurement time was 4.12 hours. Systemic circulatory results: Bleeding caused a continuous decrease of SAP, cardiac output (CO), and increase of heart rate, temperature, shock index (SI), vegetative - Kerdo index (KI). Pulse pressure (PP) decreased only after second bleeding which coincided with loss of CBF AR. Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) increased during PEEP challenges as a function of time and bleeding. EIS/IPG results: Body fluid shift change was characterized by EIS-related variables. Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy was used to quantify the intravascular, interstitial, and intracellular volume changes during the application of PEEP and simulated hemorrhage. The intravascular fluid compartment was the primary source of blood during hemorrhage. PEEP produced a large fluid shift out of the intravascular compartment during the first bleeding period and continued to lose more blood following the second and third bleeding. Fixed frequency IPG was used to quantify the circulatory responses of the calf during PEEP and simulated hemorrhage. PEEP reduced the arterial blood flow into the calf and venous outflow from the calf. Head results: CBF AR was evaluated as a function of SAP change. Before bleeding, and after moderate bleeding, intracranial pressure (ICP), REG, and carotid flow pulse amplitudes (CFa) increased. This change reflected vasodilatation and active CBF AR. After additional hemorrhaging during PEEP, SAP, ICP, REG, CFa signal amplitudes decreased, indicating passive CBF AR. 1) The indicators of active AR status by modalities was the following: REG (n=9, 56 %), CFa (n=7, 44 %), and ICP (n=6, 38 %); 2) CBF reactivity was better for REG than ICP; 3) REG and ICP correlation coefficient were high (R2 = 0.81) during CBF AR active status; 4) PRx and REGx reflected active CBF AR status. CBF AR monitoring with REG offers safety for patients by preventing decreased CBF and secondary brain injury. We used different types of bioimpedance instrumentation to identify physiologic responses in the different parts of the body (that have not been discussed before) and how the peripheral responses ultimately lead to decreased cardiac output and changes in the head. These bioimpedance methods can improve ICU monitoring, increase the adequacy of therapy, and decrease mortality and morbidity.

Abstract
Remote monitoring of fluid status via calf bioimpedance measurements could improve the experience of patients with congestive heart failure and reduce readmission rates. Most measurements today use conventional Ag/AgCl electrodes and a short inter-electrode spacing, resulting in current flowing primarily near the electrodes, preventing deeper current penetration and in turn accurate volume estimation. Textile band electrodes may more evenly distribute current throughout the calf. In the present study, simulations were conducted to investigate the impact of inter-electrode spacing/placement and fat tissue on bioimpedance using both Ag/AgCl electrodes and textile band electrodes. Simulation results showed that increasing the inter-electrode spacing can improve current distribution in the tissue, but there are still errors that increase with fat thickness (14.3% error at 10 cm spacing down to 1.7% error at 20 cm spacing for a "nominal" fat thickness, vs. -0.3% and -0.5% error for band electrodes). Band electrodes most closely matched the expected resistance and seem the most suitable regardless of inter-electrode spacing.

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) consist of linear chains of orthophosphate residues, linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. They are evolutionarily old biopolymers that are present from bacteria to man. No other molecule concentrates as much (bio)chemically usable energy as polyP. However, the function and metabolism of this long-neglected polymer are scarcely known, especially in higher eukaryotes. In recent years, interest in polyP experienced a renaissance, beginning with the discovery of polyP as phosphate source in bone mineralization. Later, two discoveries placed polyP into the focus of regenerative medicine applications. First, polyP shows morphogenetic activity, i.e., induces cell differentiation via gene induction, and, second, acts as an energy storage and donor in the extracellular space. Studies on acidocalcisomes and mitochondria provided first insights into the enzymatic basis of eukaryotic polyP formation. In addition, a concerted action of alkaline phosphatase and adenylate kinase proved crucial for ADP/ATP generation from polyP. PolyP added extracellularly to mammalian cells resulted in a 3-fold increase of ATP. The importance and mechanism of this phosphotransfer reaction for energy-consuming processes in the extracellular matrix are discussed. This review aims to give a critical overview about the formation and function of this unique polymer that is capable of storing (bio)chemically useful energy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of five different types of textiles as band electrodes for calf bioimpedance measurements in comparison with conventional spot Ag/AgCl electrodes. APPROACH Calf bioimpedance measurements were performed in 10 healthy volunteers with five different textile materials cut into bands and Ag/AgCl spot electrodes as a baseline. Collected bioimpedance data were analyzed in terms of precision, fit error and presence of measurement artifacts. Each textile material was also evaluated for participant comfort. MAIN RESULTS Bioimpedance values for spot electrodes were higher at low frequencies as compared with band electrodes but not at high frequencies. This suggests that spot electrodes have frequency dependent current distributions that adversely impact their use for volume measurements and band electrodes are preferable. The SMP130T-B fabric had the highest precision and the lowest best fit error to the Cole model of the tested textile materials. However, it was the least comfortable textile and most expensive. The Stretch material performed slightly worse than the SMP130T-B fabric, but was half the cost and the most comfortable. SIGNIFICANCE These results suggest that there are suitable textile materials for use as dry, band electrodes for calf bioimpedance measurements and that these band electrodes enable greater current uniformity. These textiles could be integrated into a compression sock for remote monitoring of diseases such as Congestive Heart Failure.

Perioperative blood loss: estimation of blood volume loss or haemoglobin mass loss? BLOOD TRANSFUSION = TRASFUSIONE DEL SANGUE 2019; 18:20-29. [PMID: 31855150 DOI: 10.2450/2019.0204-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative blood loss is an essential parameter in research into Patient Blood Management. However, currently there is no "gold standard" method to quantify it. Direct measurements of blood loss are considered unreliable methods, and the formulae to estimate it have proven to be significantly inaccurate. Given the need for better research tools, this study evaluated an estimation of haemoglobin mass loss as an alternative approach to estimate perioperative blood loss, and compared it to estimations based on blood volume loss. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied one hundred consecutive patients undergoing urological laparoscopic surgery. Both haemoglobin mass loss and blood volume loss were directly measured during surgery, under highly controlled conditions for a reliable direct measurement of blood loss. Three formulae were studied: 1) a haemoglobin mass loss formula, which estimated blood loss in terms of haemoglobin mass loss, 2) the López-Picado's formula and 3) an empirical volume formula that estimated blood loss in terms of blood volume loss. The empirical volume formula was developed within the study with the aim of providing the best possible estimation of blood volume loss in the studied population. The formulae were evaluated and compared by assessing their agreements with their respective direct measurements of blood loss. RESULTS The haemoglobin mass loss formula met the predefined agreement criterion of ±71 g, with 95% limits of agreement ranging from 0.6 to 44.1 g and a moderate overestimation of 22.4. In comparison to both blood volume loss formulae, the haemoglobin mass loss formula was superior in every agreement parameter evaluated. DISCUSSION In this study, the estimation of haemoglobin mass loss was found to be a more accurate method to estimate perioperative blood loss. This estimation method could be a robust research tool, although more studies are needed to establish its reliability.

Abstract
This paper describes a new combined impedance plethysmographic (IPG) and electrical bioimpedance spectroscopic (BIS) instrument and software that will allow noninvasive real-time measurement of segmental blood flow, intracellular, interstitial, and intravascular volume changes during various fluid management procedures. The impedance device can be operated either as a fixed frequency IPG for the quantification of segmental blood flow and hemodynamics or as a multi-frequency BIS for the recording of intracellular and extracellular resistances at 40 discrete input frequencies. The extracellular volume is then deconvoluted to obtain its intravascular and interstitial component volumes as functions of elapsed time. The purpose of this paper is to describe this instrumentation and to demonstrate the information that can be obtained by using it to monitor segmental compartment volume responses of a pig model during simulated hemorrhage and resuscitation. Such information may prove valuable in the diagnosis and management of rapid changes in the body fluid balance and various clinical treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various different interventions can be used to reduce surgical blood loss; however, there is no "gold standard" for accurately measuring the volume of perioperative blood loss, and this makes it difficult to assess the efficacy of these interventions. METHODS We used data from a previous multicenter double-blind randomized clinical trial in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty in which we compared 2 regimens for administering tranexamic acid versus placebo. We assessed direct measures (external blood loss) and indirect estimates (using the formulas of Bourke, Gross, Mercuriali, and Camarasa and a new formula we have developed) using analysis of variance to compare estimated volumes of blood loss among the study groups. In addition, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman diagrams were used to compare the estimated volumes of blood loss obtained with each formula. RESULTS The mean estimated external blood loss was 909 ± 324 mL, and the mean estimates of blood loss calculated using the formulas of Gross, Bourke and Smith, and Camarasa were 1308 ± 555, 1091 ± 454, and 1641 ± 945 mL, respectively, whereas we obtained a value of 1511 ± 919 mL with the new formula at day 2. In all cases, the results favored the use of tranexamic acid (P < .0001). Comparing results of the new and other formulas, we found moderate-to-low agreement (in terms of ICCs) except for that of Camarasa (ICC: 0.992). The limits of agreement with the new formula ranged from -378 to 93 in the case of the comparison with Camarasa's formula and from -2226 to 959 for external blood loss, the difference depending on the magnitude of the estimate to a large extent. CONCLUSIONS Formulas that take into account both anthropometric and laboratory parameters are useful for evaluating the efficacy of interventions aiming to decrease blood loss but do not ensure that the values obtained are sufficiently accurate for absolute measuring.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this paper is to describe and demonstrate how a new bioimpedance analytical procedure can be used to monitor cellular hydration of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients during hemodialysis (HD). Methods A tetra-polar bioimpedance spectroscope (BIS), (UFI Inc., Morro Bay, CA), was used to measure the tissue resistance and reactance of the calf of 17 ESRD patients at 40 discrete frequencies once a minute during dialysis treatment. These measurements were then used to derive intracellular, interstitial, and intravascular compartment volume changes during dialysis. Findings The mean (± SD) extracellular resistance increased during dialysis from 92.4 ± 3.5 to 117.7 ± 5.8 Ohms. While the mean intracellular resistance decreased from 413.5 ± 11.7 to 348.5 ± 8.2 Ohms. It was calculated from these data that the mean intravascular volume fell 9.5%; interstitial volume fell 33.4%; and intracellular volume gained 20.3%. Discussion These results suggest that an extensive fluid shift into the cells may take place during HD. The present research may contribute to a better understanding of how factors that influence fluid redistribution may affect an ESRD patient during dialysis. In light of this finding, it is concluded that the rate of vascular refill is jointly determined with the rate of "cellular refill" and the transfer of fluid from the intertitial compartment into the intravascular space.

Abstract
Fluid shifts are common in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) during the intradialytic periods, as several liters of fluid are removed during ultrafiltration (UF). Some patients have experienced frequent intradialytic hypotension (IDH). However, the characteristics of fluid shifts and which fluid space is affected remain controversial. Therefore, we designed this study to evaluate the fluid spaces most affected by UF and to determine whether hydration status influences the fluid shifts during HD. This was a prospective cohort study of 40 patients undergoing HD. We measured the patient's fluid spaces using a whole-body bioimpedance apparatus to evaluate the changes in the fluid spaces before HD and 1-4 hours of HD and 30 minutes after HD. UF achieved during HD by the 40 patients (age, 60.0 ± 5.2 years; 50% men; 50% of patients with diabetes; body weight, 61.3 ± 10.5 kg) was 2.18 ± 0.78 L (measured fluid overload, 2.15 ± 1.24 L). 1) Mean relative reduction of total body water and extracellular water was reduced from the start to the end of HD. 2) However, mean relative reduction of intracellular water was not reduced from the start to the end of HD. 3) No significant differences in fluid shifts were observed according to hydration status. The source of net UF during HD is mostly the extracellular space regardless of hydration status. Thus, IDH may be related to differences in the interstitial fluid shift to the vascular space.
