Abstract
Despite significant advances in cancer treatment over the decades, surgical resection remains a prominent management approach for solid neoplasms. Unfortunately, accumulating evidence suggests that surgical stress caused by tumor resection may potentially trigger postoperative metastatic niche formation. Surgical stress not only activates the sympathetic-adrenomedullary axis and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis but also induces hypoxia and hypercoagulable state. These adverse factors can negatively impact the immune system by downregulating immune effector cells and upregulating immune suppressor cells, which contribute to the colonization and progression of postoperative tumor metastatic niche. This review summarizes the effects of surgical stress on four types of immune effector cells (neutrophils, macrophages, natural killer cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes) and two types of immunosuppressive cells (regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells), and discusses the immune mechanisms of postoperative tumor relapse and progression. Additionally, relevant therapeutic strategies to minimize the pro-tumorigenic effects of surgical stress are elucidated.

Enhanced exclusive enteral nutrition delivery during the first 7 days is associated with decreased 28-day mortality in critically ill patients with normal lactate level: a post hoc analysis of a multicenter randomized trial. Crit Care 2024; 28:26. [PMID: 38245768 PMCID: PMC10799529 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04813-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Exclusive enteral nutrition (EN) is often observed during the first week of ICU admission because of the extra costs and safety considerations for early parenteral nutrition. This study aimed to assess the association between nutrition intake and 28-day mortality in critically ill patients receiving exclusive EN. METHODS This is a post hoc analysis of a cluster-randomized clinical trial that assesses the effect of implementing a feeding protocol on mortality in critically ill patients. Patients who stayed in the ICUs for at least 7 days and received exclusive EN were included in this analysis. Multivariable Cox hazard regression models and restricted cubic spline models were used to assess the relationship between the different doses of EN delivery and 28-day mortality. Subgroups with varying lactate levels at enrollment were additionally analyzed to address the potential confounding effect brought in by the presence of shock-related hypoperfusion. RESULTS Overall, 1322 patients were included in the analysis. The median (interquartile range) daily energy and protein delivery during the first week of enrollment were 14.6 (10.3-19.6) kcal/kg and 0.6 (0.4-0.8) g/kg, respectively. An increase of 5 kcal/kg energy delivery was associated with a significant reduction (approximately 14%) in 28-day mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.865, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.768-0.974, P = 0.016). For protein intake, a 0.2 g/kg increase was associated with a similar mortality reduction with an adjusted HR of 0.868 (95% CI 0.770-0.979). However, the benefits associated with enhanced nutrition delivery could be observed in patients with lactate concentration ≤ 2 mmol/L (adjusted HR = 0.804 (95% CI 0.674-0.960) for energy delivery and adjusted HR = 0.804 (95% CI 0.672-0.962) for protein delivery, respectively), but not in those > 2 mmol/L. CONCLUSIONS During the first week of critical illness, enhanced nutrition delivery is associated with reduced mortality in critically ill patients receiving exclusive EN, only for those with lactate concentration ≤ 2 mmol/L.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between sublingual microcirculatory measures and frailty index in those attending a kidney transplant assessment clinic. METHODS Patients recruited had their sublingual microcirculation taken using sidestream dark field videomicroscopy (MicroScan, Micro Vision Medical, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and their frailty index score using a validated short form via interview. RESULTS A total of 44 patients were recruited with two being excluded due to microcirculatory image quality scores exceeding 10. The frailty index score indicated significant correlations with total vessel density (p < .0001, r = -.56), microvascular flow index (p = .004, r = -.43), portion of perfused vessels (p = .0004, r = -.52), heterogeneity index (p = .015, r = .32), and perfused vessel density (p < .0001, r = -.66). No correlation was shown between the frailty index and age (p = .08, r = .27). CONCLUSIONS There is a relationship between the frailty index and microcirculatory health in those attending a kidney transplant assessment clinic, that is not confounded by age. These findings suggest that the impaired microcirculation may be an underlying cause of frailty.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study assessed the association between changes in sublingual microcirculation after a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) and successful extubation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sublingual microcirculation was assessed using an incident dark-field video microscope before and after each SBT and before extubation. Microcirculatory parameters before the SBT, at the end of the SBT, and before extubation were compared between the successful and failed extubation groups. RESULTS Forty-seven patients were enrolled and analysed in this study (34 patients in the successful extubation group and 13 patients in the failed extubation group). At the end of the SBT, the weaning parameters did not differ between the two groups. However, the total small vessel density (21.2 [20.4-23.7] versus 24.9 [22.6-26.5] mm/mm2), perfused small vessel density (20.6 [18.5-21.8] versus 23.1 [20.9-25] mm/mm2), proportion of perfused small vessels (91 [87-96] versus 95 [93-98] %), and microvascular flow index (2.8 [2.7-2.9] versus 2.9 [2.9-3]) were significantly lower in the failed extubation group than in the successful extubation group. The weaning and microcirculatory parameters did not differ significantly between the two groups before the SBT. CONCLUSIONS More patients are required to investigate the difference between baseline microcirculation before a successful SBT and the change in microcirculation at the end of the SBT between the successful and failed extubation groups. Better sublingual microcirculatory parameters at the end of SBT and before extubation are associated with successful extubation.

Abstract
Microvascular alterations were first described in critically ill patients about 20 years ago. These alterations are characterized by a decrease in vascular density and presence of non-perfused capillaries close to well-perfused vessels. In addition, heterogeneity in microvascular perfusion is a key finding in sepsis. In this narrative review, we report our actual understanding of microvascular alterations, their role in the development of organ dysfunction, and the implications for outcome. Herein, we discuss the state of the potential therapeutic interventions and the potential impact of novel therapies. We also discuss how recent technologic development may affect the evaluation of microvascular perfusion.

Abstract
Throughout the long history of surgery, there has been great advancement in the hemodynamic management of surgical patients. Traditionally, hemodynamic management has focused on macrocirculatory monitoring and intervention to maintain appropriate oxygen delivery. However, even after optimization of macro-hemodynamic parameters, microcirculatory dysfunction, which is related to higher postoperative complications, occurs in some patients. Although the clinical significance of microcirculatory dysfunction has been well reported, little is known about interventions to recover microcirculation and prevent microcirculatory dysfunction. This may be at least partly caused by the fact that the feasibility of monitoring tools to evaluate microcirculation is still insufficient for use in routine clinical practice. However, considering recent advancements in these research fields, with more popular use of microcirculation monitoring and more clinical trials, clinicians may better understand and manage microcirculation in surgical patients in the future. In this review, we describe currently available methods for microcirculatory evaluation. The current knowledge on the clinical relevance of microcirculatory alterations has been summarized based on previous studies in various clinical settings. In the latter part, pharmacological and clinical interventions to improve or restore microcirculation are also presented.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lactic acidosis after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is common and associated with an increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality. A number of potential causes for an elevated lactate after cardiopulmonary bypass include cellular hypoxia, impaired tissue perfusion, ischemic-reperfusion injury, aerobic glycolysis, catecholamine infusions, and systemic inflammatory response after exposure to the artificial cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. Our goal was to examine the relationship between early abnormalities in microcirculatory convective blood flow and diffusive capacity and lactate kinetics during early resuscitation in the intensive care unit. We hypothesized that patients with impaired microcirculation after cardiac surgery would have a more severe postoperative hyperlactatemia, represented by the lactate time-integral of an arterial blood lactate concentration greater than 2.0 mmol/L. METHODS We measured sublingual microcirculation using incident darkfield video microscopy in 50 subjects on intensive care unit admission after cardiac surgery. Serial measurements of systemic hemodynamics, blood gas, lactate, and catecholamine infusions were recorded each hour for the first 6 h after surgery. Lactate area under the curve (AUC) was calculated over the first 6 h. The lactate AUC was compared between subjects with normal and low perfused vessel density (PVD < 18 mm/mm2), high microcirculatory heterogeneity index (MHI > 0.4), and low vessel-by-vessel microvascular flow index (MFIv < 2.6). RESULTS Thirteen (26%) patients had a low postoperative PVD, 20 patients (40%) had a high MHI, and 26 (52%) patients had a low MFIv. Patients with low perfused vessel density had higher lactate AUC compared with subjects with a normal PVD (22.3 [9.4-31.0] vs. 2.6 [0-8.8]; P < 0.0001). Patients with high microcirculatory heterogeneity had a higher lactate AUC compared with those with a normal MHI (2.5 [0.1-8.2] vs. 13.1 [3.7-31.1]; P < 0.001). We did not find a difference in lactate AUC when comparing high and low MFIv. CONCLUSION Low perfused vessel density and high microcirculatory heterogeneity are associated with an increased intensity and duration of lactic acidosis after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
Background The relationship between macrocirculation and microcirculation remains controversial. The loss of coherence between microcirculation and macrocirculation has already been found in late-stage sepsis shock. The objective of this study was to determine the earliest possible time of detecting the loss of coherence between microcirculation and macrocirculation in early-stage endotoxemic shock. Methods We randomized 24 female New Zealand white rabbits into two groups: endotoxemic shock group (n = 14) and control group (n = 10). Rabbits in the endotoxemic shock group were equipped with arterial and venous catheters and received an intravenous infusion of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 2 mg/kg over 10 min). Rabbits in the control group received the same dose of saline infusion. Microcirculatory perfusion parameters were assessed in the sublingual mucosa using sidestream dark-field video microscopy. Systemic hemodynamics and blood lactate levels were measured at baseline and over a 120-min period. Results Ninety minutes after completing LPS infusion, all animals in the endotoxemic shock group developed a hypodynamic septic condition, characterized by low cardiac output and increased systemic vascular resistance; 120 min after completing LPS infusion, the mean arterial pressure decreased by 25% (P = 0.01), confirming ongoing endotoxemic shock. However, significant decreases in sublingual microcirculatory parameters of small vessels (microvascular flow index, perfused vessel density, and proportion of small perfused vessels) were observed 30 min after completing LPS infusion (P = 0.01, for all), and threshold decreases of 30% were found 60 min after completing LPS infusion (P = 0.001, for all) in the endotoxemic shock group. Lactate levels significantly increased to more than 2 mm/L at 90 min and more than 4 mm/L at 120 min in the endotoxemic shock group (P = 0.02 and P = 0.01, respectively). Conclusions Changes in microcirculatory perfusion precede changes in macrocirculation and lactate levels in a rabbit model of endotoxemia shock. Microcirculation, macrocirculation, and oxygen metabolism are distinct in early-stage endotoxic shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Resuscitation after cardiac surgery needs to address multiple pathophysiological processes that are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Functional microcirculatory derangements despite normal systemic hemodynamics have been previously described but must be tied to clinical outcomes. The authors hypothesized that microcirculatory dysfunction after cardiac surgery would include impaired capillary blood flow and impaired diffusive capacity and that subjects with the lowest quartile of perfused vessel density would have an increased postoperative lactate level and acute organ injury scores. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING A single, tertiary university cardiovascular surgical intensive care unit. PARTICIPANTS 25 adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. INTERVENTION Sublingual microcirculation was imaged using incident dark field microscopy before and 2 to 4 hours after surgery in the intensive care unit. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Compared with baseline measurements, postoperative vessel-by-vessel microvascular flow index (2.9 [2.8-2.9] v 2.5 [2.4-2.7], p < 0.0001) and perfused vessel density were significantly impaired (20.7 [19.3-22.9] v 16.3 [12.8-17.9], p < 0.0001). The lowest quartile of perfused vessel density (<12.8 mm/mm2) was associated with a significantly increased postoperative lactate level (6.0 ± 2.9 v 1.8 ± 1.2, p < 0.05), peak lactate level (7.6 ± 2.8 v 2.8 ± 1.5, p = 0.03), and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at 24 and 48 hours. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing cardiac surgery, there was a significant decrease in postoperative microcirculatory convective blood flow and diffusive capacity during early postoperative resuscitation. Severely impaired perfused vessel density, represented by the lowest quartile of distribution, is significantly related to hyperlactatemia and early organ injury.

Abstract
Background To assess the association between serum lactate levels and intolerance to enteral nutrition (EN) in septic patients treated with vasopressors. Methods This retrospective study was conducted between January 1, 2015 and May 1, 2018 in an intensive care unit (ICU). Patients with sepsis who were given EN and treated with vasopressors were included. EmpowerStats software and R (version 3.3.2) was used to examine the association between serum lactate levels and intolerance to EN. Results Among the 132 septic patients (age, 60.6±18.1 years) enrolled, 35 (26.5%) patients suffered intolerance to EN. Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that an elevated lactate level was an independent risk factor for EN intolerance [odds ratio (OR): 2.7; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.6–4.4; P<0.001]. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for serum lactate levels was 0.764 (95% CI: 0.664–0.864). Stratified analysis suggested that age was the most prominent interactive factor for serum lactate levels in EN intolerance. Serum lactate levels were closely correlated to EN intolerance in elderly patients (age ≥65 years) (OR: 9.5; 95% CI: 2.1–42.4; P=0.0261 for interaction), while no such association was identified in younger patients (age <65 years; OR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.0–2.9; P=0.052). Conclusions Serum lactate levels were associated with an increased risk of EN intolerance in patients with sepsis, especially in elderly individuals. An elevated serum lactate level may be an early predictor of EN intolerance in elderly septic patients treated with vasopressors. However, further studies are called for to verify these findings.

Abstract
Background Microcirculatory dysfunction develops in both septic and cardiogenic shock patients, and it is associated with poor prognosis in patients with septic shock. Information on the association between microcirculatory dysfunction and prognosis in cardiogenic shock patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support is limited. Methods Sublingual microcirculation images were recorded using an incident dark-field video microscope at the following time points: within 12 h (T1), 24 h (T2), 48 h (T3), 72 h (T4), and 96 h (T5) after VA-ECMO placement. If a patient could be weaned off VA-ECMO, sublingual microcirculation images were recorded before and after VA-ECMO removal. Microcirculatory parameters were compared between 28-day nonsurvivors and survivors with VA-ECMO support. In addition, the microcirculation and clinical parameters were assessed as prognostic tests of 28-day mortality, and patients were divided into three subgroups according to microcirculation parameters for survival analysis. Results Forty-eight patients were enrolled in this study. At T1, the observed heart rate, mean arterial pressure, inotropic score and lactate level of 28-day nonsurvivors and survivors did not differ significantly, but the perfused small vessel density (PSVD) and proportion of perfused vessels (PPV) were lower in the 28-day nonsurvivors than in the survivors. The PSVD and PPV were slightly superior to lactate levels in predicting 28-day mortality (area under curve of 0.68, 0.70, and 0.62, respectively). The subgroup with the lowest PSVD (< 15 mm/mm2) and PPV (< 64%) values exhibited less favorable survival compared with the other two subgroups. Conclusions Early microcirculatory parameters could be used to predict the survival of cardiogenic shock patients with VA-ECMO support. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02393274.

Abstract
Background Mildly elevated lactate levels (i.e., 1–2 mmol/L) are increasingly recognized as a prognostic finding in critically ill patients. One of several possible underlying mechanisms, microcirculatory dysfunction, can be assessed at the bedside using sublingual direct in vivo microscopy. We aimed to evaluate the association between relative hyperlactatemia, microcirculatory flow, and outcome. Methods This study was a predefined subanalysis of a multicenter international point prevalence study on microcirculatory flow abnormalities, the Microcirculatory Shock Occurrence in Acutely ill Patients (microSOAP). Microcirculatory flow abnormalities were assessed with sidestream dark-field imaging. Abnormal microcirculatory flow was defined as a microvascular flow index (MFI) < 2.6. MFI is a semiquantitative score ranging from 0 (no flow) to 3 (continuous flow). Associations between microcirculatory flow abnormalities, single-spot lactate measurements, and outcome were analyzed. Results In 338 of 501 patients, lactate levels were available. For this substudy, all 257 patients with lactate levels ≤ 2 mmol/L (median [IQR] 1.04 [0.80–1.40] mmol/L) were included. Crude ICU mortality increased with each lactate quartile. In a multivariable analysis, a lactate level > 1.5 mmol/L was independently associated with a MFI < 2.6 (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1–5.7, P = 0.027). Conclusions In a heterogeneous ICU population, a single-spot mildly elevated lactate level (even within the reference range) was independently associated with increased mortality and microvascular flow abnormalities. In vivo microscopy of the microcirculation may be helpful in discriminating between flow- and non-flow-related causes of mildly elevated lactate levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microcirculatory dysfunction contributes to acute and chronic kidney diseases. To the best of our knowledge, no study has compared differences in microcirculation among healthy volunteers, dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sublingual microcirculation was examined using sidestream dark field imaging and was compared among 90 healthy volunteers, 40 dialysis patients and 40 kidney transplant recipients. The gender effect on microcirculation and the correlations among the microcirculation parameters, age, body mass index, heart rate and blood pressure were analysed. RESULTS Total small vessel density, perfused small vessel density and the proportion of perfused small vessels were lower in the dialysis patients than in the healthy volunteers and kidney transplant recipients [total small vessel density; healthy volunteers vs. dialysis patients vs. kidney transplant recipients, 25·2 (2·3) vs. 22·8 (2·6) vs. 24·2 (2·9) mm/mm2 , P < 0·001]. Systolic blood pressure showed a weak negative correlation with the microvascular flow index scores in the healthy volunteers. By contrast, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure showed weak positive correlations with proportion of perfused small vessels and the microvascular flow index scores in the dialysis patients. CONCLUSIONS Microcirculatory dysfunction is noted in dialysis patients, and this alteration is ameliorated in KT recipients. The positive correlation between blood pressure and microcirculation in dialysis patients suggests that additional studies should investigate the optimal goal of blood pressure management for dialysis patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between hyperlactatemia and adverse outcome in patients admitted to ICUs following gastrointestinal surgery has not been reported. To explore the hypothesis that in a large cohort of gastrointestinal surgical patients, the peak serum lactate (in the first 24 hr) observed in patients admitted to ICU following surgery is associated with unadjusted and severity-adjusted acute hospital mortality and that the strength of association is greater in patients admitted following "emergency" surgery than in patients admitted following "elective" surgery. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study of all patients who had gastrointestinal surgery and were admitted directly to the ICU between 2008 and 2012. SETTING Two hundred forty-nine hospitals in the United Kingdom. PATIENTS One hundred twenty-one thousand nine hundred ninety patients. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Peak blood lactate in the first 24 hours of admission to critical care, acute hospital mortality, length of stay, and other variables routinely collected within the U.K. Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre Case Mix Programme database. Elevated blood lactate was associated with increased risk of death and prolonged duration of stay, and the relationship was maintained once adjusted for confounding variables. The positive association between mortality and levels of blood lactate continued down into the "normal range," without evidence of a plateau. There was no difference in the extent to which hyperlactatemia was related to mortality between patients admitted following elective and emergency surgery. CONCLUSIONS These findings have implications for our understanding of the role of lactate in critically ill patients.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY To examine the effects of Shenfu injection (SFI) on macrocirculation and microcirculation during ventricular fibrillation (VF) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen female Landrace pigs were used in this study. After anesthesia, coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) was measured, and then the abdominal cavity was opened to observe the mesenteric microcirculation with the aid of sidestream dark field imaging. Following the guidelines, we determined microvascular flow index, perfused vessel density and proportion of perfused vessels both for large (diameter>20 μm) and small (diameter<20 μm) microvessels. SFI (1 ml/kg) or saline was given by vein injection at 1h before inducing VF. CPR was initiated after 4 min VF. RESULTS The shocks and duration of CPR were less in the SFI group compared with saline group. As the occurrence of VF, the CPP suddenly dropped to near zero, and cannot be measured in the both groups. However, there was greater CPP during CPR and at 1h after return of spontaneous circulation in the SFI group than saline group. Compared with saline, SFI significantly improved the microcirculation parameters of large and small microvessels during VF and CPR. CONCLUSIONS SFI can improve the microvascular blood flow and CPP during VF and CPR, and reduce the shocks and duration of CPR.

Abstract
Achieving adequate perfusion is a key goal of treatment in severe trauma; however, tissue perfusion has classically been measured by indirect means. Direct visualization of capillary flow has been applied in sepsis, but application of this technology to the trauma population has been limited. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the efficacy of standard indirect measures of perfusion to direct imaging of the sublingual microcirculatory flow during trauma resuscitation. Patients with injury severity scores >15 were serially examined using a handheld sidestream dark-field video microscope. In addition, measurements were also made from healthy volunteers. The De Backer score, a morphometric capillary density score, and total vessel density (TVD) as cumulative vessel area within the image, were calculated using Automated Vascular Analysis (AVA3.0) software. These indices were compared against clinical and laboratory parameters of organ function and systemic metabolic status as well as mortality. Twenty severely injured patients had lower TVD (X = 14.6 ± 0.22 vs 17.66 ± 0.51) and De Backer scores (X = 9.62 ± 0.16 vs 11.55 ± 0.37) compared with healthy controls. These scores best correlated with serum lactate (TVD R2 = 0.525, De Backer R2 = 0.576, P < 0.05). Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, pH, bicarbonate, base deficit, hematocrit, and coagulation parameters correlated poorly with both TVD and De Backer score. Direct measurement of sublingual microvascular perfusion is technically feasible in trauma patients, and seems to provide real-time assessment of micro-circulatory perfusion. This study suggests that in severe trauma, many indirect measurements of perfusion do not correlate with microvascular perfusion. However, visualized perfusion deficiencies do reflect a shift toward anaerobic metabolism.

Abstract
Background Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major complication after pancreatic surgery and results from an impaired healing of the pancreatic enteric anastomosis. Whether perioperative hemodynamic fluid management aiming to provide an adequate tissue perfusion could influence the occurrence of POPF is unknown. Serum lactate level is a well-recognized marker of decreased tissue perfusion and is known to be associated with higher morbidity and mortality in various postoperative settings. We aimed to determine in a retrospective high-volume center’s cohort whether postoperative hyperlactatemia could predict POPF occurrence. Method We conducted a retrospective analysis of 96 consecutive patients admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) after pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy. Univariate analysis was conducted to compare lactate levels at 6 h between patients evolving with versus without POPF. A logistic regression model was developed and included potential confounding factors. Results POPF occurred in 28 patients (29 %). Serum lactate level 6 h after admission was significantly higher in the POPF group (2.8 mmol/L [95 % confidence interval (CI): 2.1–3.5] versus 1.8 mmol/L [95 % CI: 1.8–2.4], p-value = 0.04) whereas it did not differ at ICU admission or at 12 h. Despite similar cumulative fluid balance, fluid intake and vasopressor use, hyperlactatemia > 2.5 mmol/L (Odds ratio (OR): 3.58; 95 % CI: 1.22–10.48; p-value = 0.020) and red blood cells transfusion (OR: 1.24; 95 % CI: 1.03–1.49; p-value = 0.022) were found to be independent predictive factors of POPF occurrence. Conclusion In patients undergoing partial pancreatectomy, hyperlactatemia measured 6 h after ICU admission is a predictive factor for the occurrence of POPF. Inflammatory changes after surgery may account for this observation and should be further evaluated.

A new device for continuous assessment of gut perfusion: proof of concept on a porcine model of septic shock. Crit Care 2014; 18:R153. [PMID: 25030376 PMCID: PMC4223372 DOI: 10.1186/cc13992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2014] [Accepted: 06/24/2014] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION We evaluate an innovative device consisting of an enteral feeding tube equipped with a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor in contact with the duodenal mucosa. This study aims to determine if the PPG signal, composed of a continuous (PDC) and a pulsatile part (PAC), is a reliable method to assess gut perfusion in a porcine model of septic shock. METHOD Fourteen piglets were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. They were randomly assigned to two groups: the nonseptic (NS) group received an infusion of Ringer's lactate solution (RL) alone, the septic (S) group received in addition a suspension of live Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Heart rate (HR), pulse oximetry (SpO2), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI) and serum lactates were recorded and gut microcirculation (GM) was monitored with a laser Doppler probe applied on the duodenal serosa. PDC and PAC were given by the PPG probe inserted in the duodenum. Data was collected every 15 minutes (t0, t15…) during 150 minutes (t150). After administration of the bacteria suspension (t0), resuscitation maneuvers were performed following a defined algorithm. GM PAC, and PDC were expressed as variation from baseline (GMvar, PACvar, PDCvar). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures was performed to compare hemodynamic variables, with Bonferroni correction as post hoc analysis on t0, t60 and t150. RESULTS One piglet was withdrawn from analysis due to a defective probe. S group (six piglets) received resuscitation therapy while NS group (seven piglets) did not. A significant group effect was found for the all parameters except HR. Post hoc analysis found a significant decrease for GM and PAC at t60. The correlation between PAC, PDC and microcirculatory parameters were as follows: rPACvar-GMvar = 0.496, P <0.001, rPDCvar-GMvar = 0.244; P = 0.002. In the septic group, correlations were as follows: rPAC-lactate = -0.772, P <0.001; rPDC-lactate = -0.681, P <0.01). At the onset of shock, a decrease of PAC, PDC and GM occurred before the alteration of MAP. CONCLUSIONS PAC and PDC decreased at the onset of shock and were correlated with GM and lactate. These results confirm that PPG signal reliably reflects the early perfusion alteration of the gut. Further studies should assess the clinical use of this device.

Li S, Peng K, Liu F, Yu Y, Xu T, Zhang Y. Changes in blood lactate levels after major elective abdominal surgery and the association with outcomes: a prospective observational study. J Surg Res 2013; 184:1059-69. [PMID: 23721936 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2013.04.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2013] [Revised: 03/31/2013] [Accepted: 04/24/2013] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged elevated blood lactate levels strongly correlate with poor outcomes in a variety of critically ill patients. We hypothesized that the dynamic postoperative changes in blood lactate levels during the first 24 h were significantly associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing elective major abdominal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a single-center prospective observational study of 114 consecutive patients undergoing elective major abdominal surgery from September 2009 to December 2010. Blood lactate was determined postoperatively at 6 h intervals during the first 24 h. In-hospital complications and deaths occurring within 30 d of enrollment were included in the data analysis. RESULTS A total of 88 postoperative complications were recorded in 51 patients (44.7%). There was a significant difference in blood lactate levels among patients with no, minor, and major complications (ANOVA, Groups, P < 0.001; time, P < 0.001; groups × time interaction, P = 0.014). The accuracy of lactate levels to predict both overall and major complications increased postoperatively from 0 h to 24 h. Using a multivariate analysis, the time-weighted average lactate was independently predictive of both overall (OR 7.108, 95% CI 2.271-22.249, P = 0.001) and major (OR 3.277, 95% CI 1.363-7.877, P = 0.008) postoperative complications, and lactate clearance at 0-24 h (OR 0.217, CI 0.077-0.616, P = 0.004) was independently predictive of major postoperative complications. The optimal time-weighted average lactate cutoff value for complication prediction was 1.46 mmol/L; below this level, both overall and major complication rates were significantly reduced, which was true even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS The dynamic changes in blood lactate levels during the first 24 postoperative h were significantly associated with complications after major elective abdominal surgery. This result warrants a "golden hour and silver day" perspective of early resuscitation in this patient cohort.
