Brain metabolism response to intrahospital transfers in neurocritical ill patients and the impact of microdialysis probe location. Sci Rep 2024; 14:7388.

Abstract
Intrahospital transfer (IHT), a routine in the management of neurocritical patients requiring imaging or interventions, might affect brain metabolism. Studies about IHT effects using microdialysis (MD) have produced conflicting results. In these studies, only the most damaged hemisphere was monitored, and those may not reflect the impact of IHT on overall brain metabolism, nor do they address differences between the hemispheres. Herein we aimed to quantify the effect of IHT on brain metabolism by monitoring both hemispheres with bilateral MD. In this study, 27 patients with severe brain injury (10 traumatic brain injury and 17 subarachnoid hemorrhage patients) were included, with a total of 67 IHT. Glucose, glycerol, pyruvate and lactate were measured by MD in both hemispheres for 10 h pre- and post-IHT. Alterations in metabolite levels after IHT were observed on both hemispheres; although these changes were more marked in hemisphere A (most damaged) than B (less damaged). Our results suggest that brain metabolism is altered after an IHT of neurocritical ill patients particularly but not limited to the damaged hemisphere. Bilateral monitorization may be more sensitive than unilateral monitorization for detecting metabolic disturbances not directly related to the course of the disease.

Prospective Observational Study of Volatile Sedation with Sevoflurane After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Using the Sedaconda Anesthetic Conserving Device. Neurocrit Care 2024:10.1007/s12028-024-01959-7. [PMID: 38485879 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-024-01959-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Volatile sedation is still used with caution in patients with acute brain injury because of safety concerns. We analyzed the effects of sevoflurane sedation on systemic and cerebral parameters measured by multimodal neuromonitoring in patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) with normal baseline intracranial pressure (ICP). METHODS In this prospective observational study, we analyzed a 12-h period before and after the switch from intravenous to volatile sedation with sevoflurane using the Sedaconda Anesthetic Conserving Device with a target Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale score of - 5 to - 4. ICP, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), brain tissue oxygenation (PBrO2), metabolic values of cerebral microdialysis, systemic cardiopulmonary parameters, and the administered drugs before and after the sedation switch were analyzed. RESULTS We included 19 patients with a median age of 61 years (range 46-78 years), 74% of whom presented with World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade 4 or 5 aSAH. We observed no significant changes in the mean ICP (9.3 ± 4.2 vs. 9.7 ± 4.2 mm Hg), PBrO2 (31.0 ± 13.2 vs. 32.2 ± 12.4 mm Hg), cerebral lactate (5.0 ± 2.2 vs. 5.0 ± 1.9 mmol/L), pyruvate (136.6 ± 55.9 vs. 134.1 ± 53.6 µmol/L), and lactate/pyruvate ratio (37.4 ± 8.7 vs. 39.8 ± 9.2) after the sedation switch to sevoflurane. We found a significant decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) (88.6 ± 7.6 vs. 86.3 ± 5.8 mm Hg) and CPP (78.8 ± 8.5 vs. 76.6 ± 6.6 mm Hg) after the initiation of sevoflurane, but the decrease was still within the physiological range requiring no additional hemodynamic support. CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane appears to be a feasible alternative to intravenous sedation in patients with aSAH without intracranial hypertension, as our study did not show negative effects on ICP, cerebral oxygenation, or brain metabolism. Nevertheless, the risk of a decrease of MAP leading to a consecutive CPP decrease should be considered.

Abstract
The central nervous system is characterized by a peculiar vascularization termed blood-brain barrier (BBB), which regulates the exchange of cells and molecules between the cerebral tissue and the whole body. BBB dysfunction is a life-threatening condition since its presence corresponds to a marker of severity in most diseases encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). During critical illness, inflammatory response, cytokine release, and other phenomena activating the brain endothelium contribute to alterations in the BBB and increase its permeability to solutes, cells, nutrients, and xenobiotics. Moreover, patients in the ICU are often old, with underlying acute or chronic diseases, and overly medicated due to their critical condition; these factors could also contribute to the development of BBB dysfunction. An accurate diagnostic approach is critical for the identification of the mechanisms underlying BBB alterations, which should be rapidly managed by intensivists. Several methods were developed to investigate the BBB and assess its permeability. Nevertheless, in humans, exploration of the BBB requires the use of indirect methods. Imaging and biochemical methods can be used to study the abnormal passage of molecules through the BBB. In this review, we describe the structural and functional characteristics of the BBB, present tools and methods for probing this interface, and provide examples of the main diseases managed in the ICU that are related to BBB dysfunction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this study, we investigated the roles of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral oxygen delivery (CDO 2 ) in relation to cerebral energy metabolism after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). METHODS Fifty-seven adult aSAH patients treated on the neurointensive care unit at Uppsala, Sweden between 2012 and 2020, with at least 1 xenon-enhanced computed tomography (Xe-CT) scan in the first 14 days after ictus and concurrent microdialysis (MD) monitoring, were included in this retrospective study. CBF was measured globally and focally (around the MD catheter) with Xe-CT, and CDO 2 calculated. Cerebral energy metabolites were measured using MD. RESULTS Focal ischemia (CBF <20 mL/100 g/min around the MD catheter was associated with lower median [interquartile range]) MD-glucose (1.2 [0.7 to 2.2] mM vs. 2.3 [1.3 to 3.5] mM; P =0.05) and higher MD-lactate-pyruvate (LPR) ratio (34 [29 to 66] vs. 25 [21 to 32]; P =0.02). A compensated/normal MD pattern (MD-LPR <25) was observed in the majority of patients (22/23, 96%) without focal ischemia, whereas 4 of 11 (36%) patients with a MD pattern of poor substrate supply (MD-LPR >25, MD-pyruvate <120 µM) had focal ischemia as did 5 of 20 (25%) patients with a pattern of mitochondrial dysfunction (MD-LPR >25, MD-pyruvate >120 µM) ( P =0.04). Global CBF and CDO 2 , and focal CDO 2 , were not associated with the MD variables. CONCLUSIONS While MD is a feasible tool to study cerebral energy metabolism, its validity is limited to a focal area around the MD catheter. Cerebral energy disturbances were more related to low CBF than to low CDO 2 . Considering the high rate of mitochondrial dysfunction, treatments that increase CBF but not CDO 2 , such as hemodilution, may still benefit glucose delivery to drive anaerobic metabolism.

Abstract
AIM The "2023 Guideline for the Management of Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage" replaces the 2012 "Guidelines for the Management of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage." The 2023 guideline is intended to provide patient-centric recommendations for clinicians to prevent, diagnose, and manage patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS A comprehensive search for literature published since the 2012 guideline, derived from research principally involving human subjects, published in English, and indexed in MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and other selected databases relevant to this guideline, was conducted between March 2022 and June 2022. In addition, the guideline writing group reviewed documents on related subject matter previously published by the American Heart Association. Newer studies published between July 2022 and November 2022 that affected recommendation content, Class of Recommendation, or Level of Evidence were included if appropriate. Structure: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a significant global public health threat and a severely morbid and often deadly condition. The 2023 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage guideline provides recommendations based on current evidence for the treatment of these patients. The recommendations present an evidence-based approach to preventing, diagnosing, and managing patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, with the intent to improve quality of care and align with patients' and their families' and caregivers' interests. Many recommendations from the previous aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage guidelines have been updated with new evidence, and new recommendations have been created when supported by published data.

Abstract
Acute brain injury (ABI) covers various clinical entities that may require invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal of MV, which is to protect the lung and the brain from further injury, may be difficult to achieve in the most severe forms of lung or brain injury. This narrative review aims to address the respiratory issues and ventilator management, specific to ABI patients in the ICU.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) substantially contributes to disability and death in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients; however, its pathophysiology is incompletely understood and diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are lacking. Biomarkers may help to elucidate the pathophysiology, optimize early diagnosis, or provide treatment targets. We systematically searched PubMed and Embase on October 13, 2021, for studies that evaluated at least one laboratory biomarker in patients with DCI, using the most up-to-date definition of DCI as proposed by a panel of experts in 2010. Quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale or Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias assessment tool. Biomarkers of clinical and radiological DCI were analyzed separately. Results were meta-analyzed if possible, otherwise narratively reviewed. Biomarkers were classified as significant, inconclusive, or nonsignificant. We defined validated biomarkers as those with significant results in meta-analyses, or in at least two studies using similar methodologies within the same time interval after SAH. The search yielded 209 articles with 724 different biomarkers; 166 studies evaluated 646 biomarkers of clinical DCI, of which 141 were significant and 7 were validated biomarkers (haptoglobulin 2-1 and 2-2, ADAMTS13, vWF, NLR, P-selectin, F2-isoprostane); 78 studies evaluated 165 biomarkers of radiological DCI, of which 63 were significant and 1 was a validated biomarker (LPR). Hence, this review provides a selection of seven biomarkers of clinical DCI and one biomarker of radiological DCI as most promising biomarkers of DCI. Future research should focus on determining the exact predictive, diagnostic, and therapeutic potentials of these biomarkers.

Abstract
Cerebral microdialysis may be used in patients with severe brain injury to monitor their cerebral physiology. In this article we provide a concise synopsis with illustrations and original images of catheter types, their structure, and how they function. Where and how catheters are inserted, their identification on imaging modalities (CT and MRI), together with the roles of glucose, lactate/pyruvate ratio, glutamate, glycerol and urea are summarized in acute brain injury. The research applications of microdialysis including pharmacokinetic studies, retromicrodialysis, and its use as a biomarker for efficacy of potential therapies are outlined. Finally, we explore limitations and pitfalls of the technique, as well as potential improvements and future work that is needed to progress and expand the use of this technology.

Abstract
To date, advanced chemical biology tools for chemoselective extraction of metabolites are limited. In this study, unique coral-like polymer particles were synthesized via high concentrations of 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), which are usually used as condensation agents. The polymers can wrap or adhere Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) to form polymer magnetic microparticles (PMMPs). With abundant NHS-activated moieties on their surface, the coral-like PMMPs could be modified by cystamine for the chemoselective extraction of phosphate/carboxylate anion metabolites from complex biological samples. Finally, 97 metabolites including nucleotides, phosphates, phosphate sugars, carboxylate sugars, and organic acids were extracted and identified from serum, tissues, and cells. These metabolites are involved in four major metabolic pathways including glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway, and nucleotide metabolism. This study has provided a cost-effective and easy-to-implement preparation of PMMPs with a robust chemoselective extraction ability and versatile applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multimodal monitoring to guide medical intervention in high-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is well described. Multimodal monitoring to guide surgical intervention in high-grade aSAH has been less studied. OBSERVATIONS Intracranial pressure (ICP), brain lactate to pyruvate ratio (L/P ratio), and brain parenchymal oxygen tension (pO2) were used as surrogates for clinical status in a comatose man after high-grade aSAH. Acute changes in ICP, L/P ratio, and pO2 were used to identify brain injury from both malignant cerebral edema and delayed cerebral ischemia, respectively, and decompressive hemicraniectomy with clot evacuation and intraarterial nimodipine were used to treat these conditions. The patient showed marked improvement in multimodal parameters following each intervention and eventually recovered to a modified Rankin score of 2. LESSONS In patients with a limited neurological examination due to severe acute brain injury in the setting of aSAH, multimodal monitoring can be used to guide surgical treatment. With prompt, aggressive, maximal medical and surgical interventions, otherwise healthy individuals may retain the capacity for close to full recovery from seemingly catastrophic aSAH.

Intracranial pressure- and cerebral perfusion pressure threshold-insults in relation to cerebral energy metabolism in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2022; 164:1001-1014.

Abstract
Background The aim was to investigate the association between intracranial pressure (ICP)- and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) threshold-insults in relation to cerebral energy metabolism and clinical outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Methods In this retrospective study, 75 aSAH patients treated in the neurointensive care unit, Uppsala, Sweden, 2008–2018, with ICP and cerebral microdialysis (MD) monitoring were included. The first 10 days were divided into early (day 1–3), early vasospasm (day 4–6.5), and late vasospasm phase (day 6.5–10). The monitoring time (%) of ICP insults (> 20 mmHg and > 25 mmHg), CPP insults (< 60 mmHg, < 70 mmHg, < 80 mmHg, and < 90 mmHg), and autoregulatory CPP optimum (CPPopt) insults (∆CPPopt = CPP-CPPopt < − 10 mmHg, ∆CPPopt > 10 mmHg, and within the optimal interval ∆CPPopt ± 10 mmHg) were calculated in each phase. Results Higher percent of ICP above the 20 mmHg and 25 mmHg thresholds correlated with lower MD-glucose and increased MD-lactate-pyruvate ratio (LPR), particularly in the vasospasm phases. Higher percentage of CPP below all four thresholds (60/70/80//90 mmHg) also correlated with a MD pattern of poor cerebral substrate supply (MD-LPR > 40 and MD-pyruvate < 120 µM) in the vasospasm phase and higher burden of CPP below 60 mmHg was independently associated with higher MD-LPR in the late vasospasm phase. Higher percentage of CPP deviation from CPPopt did not correlate with worse cerebral energy metabolism. Higher burden of CPP-insults below all fixed thresholds in both vasospasm phases were associated with worse clinical outcome. The percentage of ICP-insults and CPP close to CPPopt were not associated with clinical outcome. Conclusions Keeping ICP below 20 mmHg and CPP at least above 60 mmHg may improve cerebral energy metabolism and clinical outcome.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a rare event affecting relatively young patients therefore leading to a high social impact. The management of SAH follows a biphasic course with early brain injuries in the first 72 hours followed by a phase at risk of secondary deterioration due to delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in 20 to 30% patients. Cerebral infarction from DCI is the most preventable cause of mortality and morbidity after SAH. DCI prevention, early detection and treatment is therefore advocated. Formerly limited to the occurrence of vasospasm, DCI is now associated with multiple pathophysiological processes involving for instance the macrocirculation, the microcirculation, neurovascular units, and inflammation. Therefore, the therapeutic targets and management strategies are also evolving and are not only focused on proximal vasospasm. In this review, we describe the current knowledge of DCI pathophysiology. We then discuss the diagnosis strategies that may guide physicians at the bedside with a multimodal approach in the unconscious patient. We will present the prevention strategies that have proven efficient as well as future targets and present the therapeutic approach that is currently being developed when a DCI occurs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a devastating disease leaving surviving patients often severely disabled. Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) has been identified as one of the main contributors to poor clinical outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage. The objective of this review is to summarize existing clinical evidence assessing the diagnostic value of invasive neuromonitoring (INM) in detecting DCI and provide an update of evidence since the 2014 consensus statement on multimodality monitoring in neurocritical care. METHODS Three invasive monitoring techniques were targeted in the data collection process: brain tissue oxygen tension (ptiO2), cerebral microdialysis, and electrocorticography. Prospective and retrospective studies as well as case series (≥10 patients) were included as long as monitoring was used to detect DCI or guide DCI treatment. RESULTS Forty-seven studies reporting INM in the context of DCI were included (ptiO2: N=21; cerebral microdialysis: N=22; electrocorticography: N=4). Changes in brain oxygen tension are associated with angiographic vasospasm or reduction in regional cerebral blood flow. Metabolic monitoring with trend analysis of the lactate to pyruvate ratio using cerebral microdialysis, identifies patients at risk for DCI. Clusters of cortical spreading depolarizations are associated with clinical neurological worsening and cerebral infarction in selected patients receiving electrocorticography monitoring. CONCLUSIONS Data supports the use of INM for the detection of DCI in selected patients. Generalizability to all subarachnoid hemorrhage patients is limited by design bias of available studies and lack of randomized trials. Continuous data recording with trend analysis and the combination of INM modalities can provide tailored treatment support in patients at high risk for DCI. Future trials should test interventions triggered by INM in relation to cerebral infarctions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) complicates the clinical course of patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) in 20--30% and substantially worsens outcome. In this review, we describe a multimodal diagnostic approach based on underlying mechanisms of DCI and provide treatment options with a special focus on the most recently published literature. RECENT FINDINGS Symptomatic vasospasm refers to clinical deterioration in the presence of vasospasm whereas DCI constitutes multiple causes. Pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying DCI range beyond large vessel vasospasm from neuroinflammation, to microthromboembolism, impaired cerebral autoregulation, cortical spreading depolarizations and many others. The current definition of DCI can be challenged by these mechanisms. We propose a pragmatic approach using a combination of clinical examination, cerebral ultrasonography, neuroimaging modalities and multimodal neuromonitoring to trigger therapeutic interventions in the presence of DCI. In addition to prophylactic nimodipine and management principles to improve oxygen delivery and decrease the brain metabolic demand, other specific interventions include permissive hypertension, intra-arterial application of calcium channel blockers and in selected patients angioplasty. SUMMARY The complex pathophysiology underlying DCI urges for a multimodal diagnostic approach triggering targeted interventions. Novel treatment concepts still have to be proven in large trials.

Edema Resolution and Clinical Assessment in Poor-Grade Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Useful Indicators to Predict Delayed Cerebral Infarctions? J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10020321. [PMID: 33477258 PMCID: PMC7830766 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10020321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The level of consciousness and cerebral edema are among the indicators that best define the intensity of early brain injury following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Although these indicators are usually altered in patients with a poor neurological status, their usefulness for selecting patients at risk of cerebral infarction (CI) is not well established. Furthermore, little is known about the evolution of these indicators during the first week of post-ictal events. Our study focused on describing the association of the longitudinal course of these predictors with CI occurrence in patients with severe aSAH. Methods: Out of 265 aSAH patients admitted consecutively to the same institution, 80 patients with initial poor neurological status (WFNS 4–5) were retrospectively identified. After excluding 25 patients with early mortality, a total of 47 patients who underwent early CT (<3 days) and late CT (<7 days) acquisitions were included in the study. Early cerebral edema and delayed cerebral edema were calculated using the SEBES score, and the level of consciousness was recorded daily during the first week using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Results: There was a significant improvement in the SEBES (Early-SEBES median (IQR) = 3 (2–4) versus Delayed-SEBES = 2 (1–3); p = 0.001) and in GCS scores (B = 0.32; 95% CI 0.15–0.49; p = 0.001) during the first week. When comparing the ROC curves of Delayed-SEBES vs Early-SEBES as predictors of CI, no significant differences were found (Early-SEBES Area Under the Curve: 0.65; Delayed-SEBES: 0.62; p = 0.17). Additionally, no differences were observed in the relationship between the improvement in the GCS across the first week and the occurrence of CI (p = 0.536). Conclusions: Edema and consciousness level improvement did not seem to be associated with the occurrence of CI in a surviving cohort of patients with severe aSAH. Our results suggest that intensive monitoring should not be reduced in patients with a poor neurological status regardless of an improvement in cerebral edema and level of consciousness during the first week after bleeding.

Abstract
Cerebral metabolic dysfunction has been shown to extensively mediate the pathophysiology of brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The characterization of the alterations of metabolites in the brain can help elucidate pathophysiological changes occurring throughout SAH and the relationship between secondary brain injury and cerebral energy dysfunction after SAH. Cerebral microdialysis (CMD) is a tool that can measure concentrations of multiple bioenergetics metabolites in brain interstitial fluid. This review aims to provide an update on the implication of CMD on the measurement of metabolic dysfunction in the brain after SAH. A literature review was conducted through a general PubMed search with the terms “Subarachnoid Hemorrhage AND Microdialysis” as well as a more targeted search using MeSh with the search terms “Subarachnoid hemorrhage AND Microdialysis AND Metabolism.” Both experimental and clinical papers were reviewed. CMD is a suitable tool that has been used for monitoring cerebral metabolic changes in various types of brain injury. Clinically, CMD data have shown the dramatic changes in cerebral metabolism after SAH, including glucose depletion, enhanced glycolysis, and suppressed oxidative phosphorylation. Experimental studies using CMD have demonstrated a similar pattern of cerebral metabolic dysfunction after SAH. The combination of CMD and other monitoring tools has also shown value in further dissecting and distinguishing alterations in different metabolic pathways after brain injury. Despite the lack of a standard procedure as well as the presence of limitations regarding CMD application and data interpretation for both clinical and experimental studies, emerging investigations have suggested that CMD is an effective way to monitor the changes of cerebral metabolic dysfunction after SAH in real-time, and alternatively, the combination of CMD and other monitoring tools might be able to further understand the relationship between cerebral metabolic dysfunction and brain injury after SAH, determine the severity of brain injury and predict the pathological progression and outcomes after SAH. More translational preclinical investigations and clinical validation may help to optimize CMD as a powerful tool in critical care and personalized medicine for patients with SAH.
