Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between sublingual microcirculatory parameters and the severity of the disease in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in the initial period of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission in a phase of the COVID-19 pandemic where patients were being treated with anti-inflammatory medication. In total, 35 critically ill COVID-19 patients were included. Twenty-one critically ill COVID-19 patients with a Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score below or equal to 7 were compared to 14 critically ill COVID-19 patients with a SOFA score exceeding 7. All patients received dexamethasone and tocilizumab at ICU admission. Microcirculatory measurements were performed within the first five days of ICU admission, preferably as soon as possible after admission. An increase in diffusive capacity of the microcirculation (total vessel density, functional capillary density, capillary hematocrit) and increased perfusion of the tissues by red blood cells was found in the critically ill COVID-19 patients with a SOFA score of 7-9 compared to the critically ill COVID-19 patients with a SOFA score ≤ 7. No such effects were found in the convective component of the microcirculation. These effects occurred in the presence of administration of anti-inflammatory medication.

Microvasc Res 2024; 152:104647.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laser doppler flowmetry (LDF) allows non-invasive assessment of microvascular functions. The combination of LDF with an occlusion functional test enables study of post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH), providing additional information about vasomotor function, capillary blood flow reserve, and the overall reactivity of the microvascular system. AIM To identify early alterations of PORH variables in the skin of a rat in hemorrhagic shock (HS). MATERIAL AND METHODS Male Wistar rats (n = 14) weighing 400-450 g were anesthetized with a combination of tiletamine/zolazepam (20 mg/kg) and xylazine (5 mg/kg). The animals breathed on their own, and were placed on a heated platform in the supine position. A PE-50 catheter was inserted into the carotid artery to measure the mean arterial pressure (MAP). The optical probe of the Laser Doppler device was installed on the plantar surface of the hind limb of a rat; a pneumatic cuff was applied proximal to the same limb. The occlusion time was 3 min. The following physiological variables were measured at baseline and 30 min after blood loss: MAP, mmHg; mean cutaneous blood flow (M, PU); cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC = M/MAP); peak hyperemia (Mmax, PU) and maximum cutaneous vascular conductance (CVCmax) during PORH. In the HS group (n = 7), 30 % of the estimated blood volume was taken within 5 min. There was no blood loss in the group of sham-operated animals (Sham, n = 7). The results are presented as Me [25 %;75 %]. The U-Mann-Whitney criterion was used to evaluate intergroup differences. Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. RESULTS The groups did not differ at baseline. Blood loss led to a significant decrease in MAP (43 [31;46] vs. 94 [84;104] mmHg), M (11.5 [16.9;7.8] vs 16.7 [20.2;13.9]) and Mmax (18.1 [16.4;21.8] vs. 25.0 [23.0;26.2]) in the HS group compared to the Sham group, respectively. At the same time, both CVC (0.25 [0.23;0.30] vs. 0.16 [0.14;0.21]) and CVCmax (0.55 [0.38;0.49] vs 0.24 [0.23; 0.29]) increased after blood loss in the HS group compared to the Sham group. Arterial blood gas analysis revealed metabolic lactic acidosis in the HS group. CONCLUSION In this rat model of HS, alterations in cutaneous blood flow are manifested by a decrease in perfusion (M) and the intensity of PORH (Mmax) with a simultaneous increase in vascular conductance (CVC and CVCmax).

Abstract
Background Shock is defined as an acute circulatory insufficiency that causes cellular dysfunction. The shock index (SI) and the anaerobic index or the relationship between the veno-arterial gradient of carbon dioxide and the difference between the arterial and venous content of O₂ [∆P(v-a)CO2/ΔC(a-v)O2] are markers of systemic hypoperfusion. Objective To determine if there is a correlation between the SI and the anaerobic index in patients with circulatory shock. Material and methods Observational and prospective study in patients with circulatory shock. The SI and the anaerobic index were calculated at admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and during their stay. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated and the association of SI with mortality was explored with bivariate logistic regression. Results 59 patients aged 55.5 (± 16.5) years, 54.3% men, were analyzed. The most frequent type of shock was hypovolemic (40.7%). They had SOFA score: 8.4 (± 3.2) and APACHE II: 18.5 (± 6). The SI was: 0.93 (± 0.32) and the anaerobic index: 2.3 (± 1.3). Global correlation was r = 0.15; at admission r = 0.29; after 6 hours: r = 0.19; after 24 hours: r = 0.18; after 48 hours: r = 0.44, and after 72 hours: r = 0.66. The SI > 1 at ICU admission had an OR 3.8 (95% CI: 1.31-11.02), p = 0.01. Conclusions The SI and the anaerobic index have a weak positive correlation during the first 48 hours of circulatory shock. The SI > 1 is a possible risk factor for death in patients with circulatory shock.

Abstract
ABSTRACT A solution of high concentration albumin has been used for temporal volume expansion when timely resuscitation was unavailable after hemorrhagic shock. However, during prolonged hemorrhagic shock, cell edema and interstitial dehydration can occur and impede the volume expansion effect of albumin. Polyethylene glycol-20K (PEG) can establish an osmotic gradient from swollen cells to capillary lumens and thus facilitate capillary fluid shift and volume expansion. We hypothesized that with similar osmolality, 7.5% PEG elicits more rapid and profound compensatory responses after hemorrhagic shock than 25% albumin. Rats were randomized into three groups (n = 8/group) based on treatment: saline (vehicle), PEG (7.5%), and albumin (25%). Trauma was induced in anesthetized rats with muscle injury and fibula fracture, followed by pressure-controlled hemorrhagic shock (MAP = 55 mm Hg) for 45 min. Animals then received an intravenous injection (0.3 mL/kg) of saline, PEG, or albumin. MAP, heart rate, blood gases, hematocrit, skeletal muscle capillary flow, renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, urinary flow, urinary sodium concentration, and mortality were monitored for another 2 hours. Polyethylene glycol-20K and albumin both improved MAP, renal and capillary blood flow, and renal oxygen delivery, and decreased hyperkalemia, hyperlactatemia, hematocrit, and mortality (saline: 100% PEG: 12.5%; albumin: 38%) over saline treatment. Compared with albumin, PEG had a more rapid decrease in hematocrit and more profound increases in MAP, diastolic pressure, renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, and urinary flow. These results suggest that PEG may be a better option than albumin for prolonged prehospital care of hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aggressive fluid or blood component transfusion for severe hemorrhagic shock may restore macrocirculatory parameters, but not always improve microcirculatory perfusion and tissue oxygen delivery. We established an ovine model of hemorrhagic shock to systematically assess tissue oxygen delivery and repayment of oxygen debt; appropriate outcomes to guide Patient Blood Management. METHODS Female Dorset-cross sheep were anesthetized, intubated, and subjected to comprehensive macrohemodynamic, regional tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), sublingual capillary imaging, and arterial lactate monitoring confirmed by invasive organ-specific microvascular perfusion, oxygen pressure, and lactate/pyruvate levels in brain, kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle. Shock was induced by stepwise withdrawal of venous blood until MAP was 30 mm Hg, mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) < 60%, and arterial lactate >4 mM. Resuscitation with PlasmaLyte® was dosed to achieve MAP > 65 mm Hg. RESULTS Hemorrhage impacted primary outcomes between baseline and development of shock: MAP 89 ± 5 to 31 ± 5 mm Hg (P < 0.01), SvO2 70 ± 7 to 23 ± 8% (P < 0.05), cerebral regional tissue StO2 77 ± 11 to 65 ± 9% (P < 0.01), peripheral muscle StO2 66 ± 8 to 16 ± 9% (P < 0.01), arterial lactate 1.5 ± 1.0 to 5.1 ± 0.8 mM (P < 0.01), and base excess 1.1 ± 2.2 to -3.6 ± 1.7 mM (P < 0.05). Invasive organ-specific monitoring confirmed reduced tissue oxygen delivery; oxygen tension decreased and lactate increased in all tissues, but moderately in brain. Blood volume replacement with PlasmaLyte® improved primary outcome measures toward baseline, confirmed by organ-specific measures, despite hemoglobin reduced from baseline 10.8 ± 1.2 to 5.9 ± 1.1 g/dL post-resuscitation (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Non-invasive measures of tissue oxygen delivery and oxygen debt repayment are suitable outcomes to inform Patient Blood Management of hemorrhagic shock, translatable for pre-clinical assessment of novel resuscitation strategies.

Abstract
Fluid therapy is administered to veterinary patients in order to improve hemodynamics, replace deficits, and maintain hydration. The gradual expansion of medical knowledge and research in this field has led to a proliferation of terms related to fluid products, fluid delivery and body fluid distribution. Consistency in the use of terminology enables precise and effective communication in clinical and research settings. This article provides an alphabetical glossary of important terms and common definitions in the human and veterinary literature. It also summarizes the common routes of fluid administration in small and large animal species.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Poor tissue perfusion/cellular hypoxia may persist despite restoration of the macrocirculation (Macro). This article reviewed the literatures of coherence between hemodynamics and tissue perfusion in circulatory shock. DATA SOURCES We retrieved information from the PubMed database up to January 2018 using various search terms or/and their combinations, including resuscitation, circulatory shock, septic shock, tissue perfusion, hemodynamic coherence, and microcirculation (Micro). STUDY SELECTION The data from peer-reviewed journals printed in English on the relationships of tissue perfusion, shock, and resuscitation were included. RESULTS A binary (coherence/incoherence, coupled/uncoupled, or associated/disassociated) mode is used to describe resuscitation coherence. The phenomenon of resuscitation incoherence (RI) has gained great attention. However, the RI concept requires a more practical, systematic, and comprehensive framework for use in clinical practice. Moreover, we introduce a conceptual framework of RI to evaluate the interrelationship of the Macro, Micro, and cell. The RI is divided into four types (Type 1: Macro-Micro incoherence + impaired cell; Type 2: Macro-Micro incoherence + normal cell; Type 3: Micro-Cell incoherence + normal Micro; and Type 4: both Macro-Micro and Micro-cell incoherence). Furthermore, we propose the concept of dynamic circulation-perfusion coupling to evaluate the relationship of circulation and tissue perfusion during circulatory shock. CONCLUSIONS The concept of RI and dynamic circulation-perfusion coupling should be considered in the management of circulatory shock. Moreover, these concepts require further studies in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Management of tissue perfusion following cardiac surgery is a challenging task where common clinical parameters do not reflect microcirculatory dysfunction. Heterogeneity in blood flow perfusion and abnormalities in capillary density characterize microcirculatory dysfunction. The restoration of a normal microcirculation may become a novel target for therapy in the future in addition to macrocirculatory parameters. The aim of this study is to determine how the sublingual microcirculatory parameters vary at the bedside in post-cardiac surgery patients which underwent diuretic therapy to correct fluid overload. Methods In this prospective observational pilot study, video clips of sublingual microcirculation in post-cardiac surgery patients receiving furosemide and/or spironolactone to achieve normal fluid balance were recorded using Cytocam-IDF imaging. Data was obtained on the first (T0), second (T1), and third (T2) day after the patients left the intensive care unit (ICU). Measurements were analyzed off-line to obtain the following microcirculatory parameters: total vessel density (TVD), microcirculatory flow index (MFI), proportion of perfused vessel (PPV), and perfused vessel density (PVD). Macrocirculatory parameters and body weight were also collected at these time points. Results Ninety measurements were performed in ten post ICU cardiac surgery patients. Thirteen measurements were excluded due to quality reasons; these excluded measurements were spread across the patients and time points, and there was no loss of patients or time points. An increase in TVD was observed from T0 to T1 (20 ± 2.7 to 24 ± 3.2 mm/mm2; p = 0.0410) and from T0 to T2 (20 ± 2.7 to 26 ± 3.3 mm/mm2; p = 0.0005). An increase in PVD was present from T0 to T1 (19 ± 2.3 to 24 ± 3.5 mm/mm2; p = 0.0072) and from T0 to T2 (19 ± 2.3 to 26 ± 3.4 mm/mm2, p = 0.0008). Fluid overload was assessed through a positive cumulative fluid balance on the day of ICU discharge. Conclusions Cytocam-IDF imaging to monitor microcirculation as a daily parameter is feasible and could become a valuable tool to non-invasively assess the tissue oxygenation at the bedside. An increase in TVD and PVD (functional capillary density) indicated the recruitment of the sublingual microcirculation in patients with diuretic therapy. Future research is needed to prove the correlation between the recruitment of the sublingual microcirculation and the de-escalation phase of the fluid management.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the intensive care medicine today. Its pathophysiology and progress to chronic kidney disease is still under investigation. In addition, the lack of techniques to adequately monitor renal function and microcirculation at the bedside makes its therapeutic resolution challenging. In this article, we review current concepts related to renal hemodynamics compromise as being the event underlying AKI. In doing so, we discuss the physiology of the renal circulation and the effects of alterations in systemic hemodynamics that lead to renal injury specifically in the context of reperfusion injury and sepsis. The ultimate key culprit of AKI leading to failure is the dysfunction of the renal microcirculation. The cellular and subcellular components of the renal microcirculation are discussed and how their injury contributes to AKI is described.
