Abstract
Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative cardiac dysfunction cause splanchnic hypoperfusion resulting in intra-abdominal anaerobic metabolism and risk for gastrointestinal complications. The intra-abdominal metabolism can be monitored by intraperitoneal measurement of relevant metabolites using microdialysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the intraperitoneal metabolism using microdialysis during and after cardiopulmonary bypass at 34°C. Methods: In six patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting or aortic valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass, microdialysis was used to measure intraperitoneal and subcutaneous glucose, lactate, pyruvate, glycerol and glutamate concentrations, intraoperatively and up to 36 hours postoperatively. Arterial and central venous blood gases were analysed as were haemodynamics and the development of complications. Results: All patients had an ordinary perioperative course and did not develop gastrointestinal complications. The arterial, intraperitoneal and subcutaneous lactate concentrations changed during the perioperative course with differences between compartments. The highest median (interquartile range) concentration was recorded in the intraperitoneal compartment at 1 hour after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (2.1 (1.9–2.5) mM compared to 1.3 (1.2–1.7) mM and 1.5 (1.0–2.2) mM in the arterial and subcutaneous compartments, respectively). In parallel with the peak increase in lactate concentration, the intraperitoneal lactate/pyruvate ratio was elevated to 33.4 (12.9–54.1). Conclusion: In cardiac surgery, intraperitoneal microdialysis detected changes in the abdominal metabolic state, which were more pronounced than could be shown by arterial blood gas analysis. Despite an uneventful perioperative course, patients undergoing low-risk surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass might be subjected to a limited and subclinical intra-abdominal anaerobic state.

Changes in the sublingual microcirculation following aortic surgery under balanced or total intravenous anaesthesia: a prospective observational study. BMC Anesthesiol 2019; 19:1.

Abstract
Background In vascular surgery with aortic cross-clamping, ischemia/reperfusion injury induces systemic haemodynamic and microcirculatory disturbances. Different anaesthetic regimens may have a varying impact on tissue perfusion. The aim of this study was to explore changes in microvascular perfusion in patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair under balanced or total intravenous anaesthesia. Methods Prospective observational study. Patients undergoing elective open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair received balanced (desflurane + remifentanil, n = 20) or total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA, propofol + remifentanil using target-controlled infusion, n = 20) according to the clinician’s decision. A goal-directed haemodynamic management was applied in all patients. Measurements were obtained before anaesthesia induction (baseline) and at end-surgery and included haemodynamics, arterial/venous blood gases, sublingual microvascular flow and density (incident dark field illumination imaging), peripheral muscle tissue oxygenation and microcirculatory reactivity (thenar near infrared spectroscopy with a vascular occlusion test). Results The two groups did not differ for baseline characteristics, mean aortic-clamping time and requirement of vasoactive agents during surgery. Changes in mean arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance index, haemoglobin and blood lactate levels were similar between the two groups, while the cardiac index increased at end-surgery in patients undergoing balanced anaesthesia. The sublingual microcirculation was globally unaltered in the TIVA group at end-surgery, while patients undergoing balanced anaesthesia showed an increase in the total and perfused small vessel densities (from 16.6 ± 4.2 to 19.1 ± 5.4 mm/mm2, p < 0.05). Changes in microvascular density were negatively correlated with changes in the systemic vascular resistance index. The area of reactive hyperaemia during the VOT increased in the balanced anaesthesia group (from 14.8 ± 8.1 to 25.6 ± 14.8%*min, p < 0.05). At end-surgery, the tissue haemoglobin index in the TIVA group was lower than that in the balanced anaesthesia group. Conclusions In patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with a goal-directed hemodynamic management, indices of sublingual or peripheral microvascular perfusion/oxygenation were globally preserved with both balanced anaesthesia and TIVA. Patients undergoing balanced anaesthesia showed microvascular recruitment at end-surgery. Trial registration NCT03510793, https://www.clinicaltrials.gov, date of registration April 27th 2018, retrospectively registered.

Abstract
The impact of acute cardiac dysfunction on the gastrointestinal tract was investigated in anesthetized and instrumented pigs by sequential reductions of cardiac output (CO). Using a cardiac tamponade (n = 6) or partial inferior caval vein balloon inflation (n = 6), CO was controllably reduced for 1 h each to 75% (CO75%), 50% (CO50%), and 35% (CO35%) of the baseline value. Cardiac output in controls (n = 6) was not manipulated and maintained. Mean arterial pressure, superior mesenteric arterial blood flow, and intestinal mucosal perfusion started to decrease at CO50% in the intervention groups. The decrease in superior mesenteric arterial blood flow was non-linear and exaggerated at CO35%. Systemic, venous mesenteric, and intraperitoneal lactate concentrations increased in the intervention groups from CO50%. Global and mesenteric oxygen uptake decreased at CO35%. In conclusion, gastrointestinal metabolism became increasingly anaerobic when CO was reduced by 50%. Anaerobic gastrointestinal metabolism in low CO can be detected using intraperitoneal microdialysis.

Abstract
Elevated lactate is a common occurrence after cardiac surgery. This review summarizes the literature on the complex etiology of lactate elevation during and after cardiac surgery, including considerations of oxygen delivery, oxygen utilization, increased metabolism, lactate clearance, medications and fluids, and postoperative complications. Second, the association between lactate and a variety of outcomes are described, and the prognostic role of lactate is critically assessed. Despite the fact that elevated lactate is strongly associated with many important outcomes, including postoperative complications, length of stay, and mortality, little is known about the optimal management of postoperative patients with lactate elevations. This review ends with an assessment of the limited literature on this subject.

Central Venous-to-Arterial CO2 Gap Is a Useful Parameter in Monitoring Hypovolemia-Caused Altered Oxygen Balance: Animal Study. Crit Care Res Pract 2013; 2013:583598. [PMID: 24069537 PMCID: PMC3773396 DOI: 10.1155/2013/583598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2013] [Revised: 07/10/2013] [Accepted: 07/19/2013] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Monitoring hypovolemia is an everyday challenge in critical care, with no consensus on the best indicator or what is the clinically relevant level of hypovolemia. The aim of this experiment was to determine how central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) and central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (CO2 gap) reflect hypovolemia-caused changes in the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption. Anesthetized, ventilated Vietnamese minipigs (n = 10) were given a bolus followed by a continuous infusion of furosemide. At baseline and then in five stages hemodynamic, microcirculatory measurements and blood gas analysis were performed. Oxygen extraction increased significantly, which was accompanied by a significant drop in ScvO2 and a significant increase in CO2 gap. There was a significant negative correlation between oxygen extraction and ScvO2 and significant positive correlation between oxygen extraction and CO2 gap. Taking ScvO2 < 73% and CO2 gap >6 mmHg values together to predict an oxygen extraction >30%, the positive predictive value is 100%; negative predicted value is 72%. Microcirculatory parameters, capillary perfusion rate and red blood cell velocity, decreased significantly over time. Similar changes were not observed in the sham group. Our data suggest that ScvO2 < 73% and CO2 gap >6 mmHg can be complementary tools in detecting hypovolemia-caused imbalance of oxygen extraction.

Abstract
Microdialysis has been utilized for nutritive blood flow measurements, but both the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches have not been evaluated in parallel in the stomach yet. Our aim was to compare the (3)H(2)O efflux technique with biochemical monitoring during temporary celiac artery occlusion in anesthetized rats. Microdialysis probes were implanted in the gastric submucosa and perfused with (3)H(2)O; samples were analyzed for β-activity, glucose, lactate, pyruvate and glycerol. Gastric mucosa and plasma were subjected to morphometry and analysis of myeloperoxidase, total thiols and lactatdehydrogenase. The most dramatic responses to ischemia were observed in lactate/pyruvate and lactate/glucose (%) ratios (6.1-9.3×, p < 0.0001); the changes in (3)H(2)O efflux and glycerol were less pronounced (1.1-1.7×, p < 0.0001 and < 0.01, respectively). (3)H(2)O efflux correlated best with the lactate/glucose ratio and glucose alone (r = 0.693 and -0.681, respectively, p < 0.0001). A correlation was also found between plasma lactatdehydrogenase and relative glycerol release (r = 0.600, p < 0.05). Myeloperoxidase, lactatdehydrogenase and histology score were increased by ischemia/reperfusion (0.06-0.12 nkat g(-1), p < 0.05, 0.26-0.44 nkat g(-1), p < 0.05 and 1.79-2.33, p < 0.05, respectively), macroscopy and plasma thiols remained unchanged. Microdialysis is useful in monitoring gastric ischemia, metabolic monitoring being superior to the (3)H(2)O efflux technique. The results question the efficacy of the utilized model to produce standardized major gastric damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The postoperative assessment of volume status is not straightforward because of concomitant changes in intravascular volume and vascular tone. Hypovolemia and blood flow redistribution may compromise the perfusion of the intraabdominal organs. We investigated the effects of a volume challenge in different intra- and extraabdominal vascular beds. METHODS Twelve pigs were studied 6 h after major intraabdominal surgery under general anesthesia when clinically normovolemic. Volume challenges consisted of 200 mL rapidly infused 6% hydroxyethyl starch. Systemic (continuous thermodilution) and regional (ultrasound Doppler) flows in carotid, renal, celiac trunk, hepatic, and superior mesenteric arteries and the portal vein were continuously measured. The acute and sustained effects of the challenge were compared with baseline. RESULTS Volume challenge produced a sustained increase of 22% +/- 15% in cardiac output (P < 0.001). Blood flow increased by 10% +/- 9% in the renal artery, by 22% +/- 15% in the carotid artery, by 26% +/- 15% in the superior mesenteric artery, and by 31% +/- 20% in the portal vein (all P < 0.001). Blood flow increases in the celiac trunk (8% +/- 13%) and the hepatic artery (7% +/- 19%) were not significant. Increases in regional blood flow occurred early and were sustained. Mean arterial and central venous blood pressures increased early and decreased later (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A volume challenge in clinically euvolemic postoperative animals was associated with a sustained increase in blood flow to all vascular beds, although the increase in the celiac trunk and the hepatic artery was very modest and did not reach statistical significance. Whether improved postoperative organ perfusion is accompanied by a lower complication rate should be evaluated in further studies.

Abstract
Septic shock is characterised by vasodilation, myocardial depression and impaired microcirculatory blood flow, resulting in redistribution of regional blood flow. Animal and human studies have shown that gastrointestinal mucosal blood flow is impaired in septic shock. This is consistent with abnormalities found in many other microcirculatory vascular beds. Gastrointestinal mucosal microcirculatory perfusion deficits have been associated with gut injury and a decrease in gut barrier function, possibly causing augmentation of systemic inflammation and distant organ dysfunction. A range of techniques have been developed and used to quantify these gastrointestinal perfusion abnormalities. The following techniques have been used to study gastrointestinal perfusion in humans: tonometry, laser Doppler flowmetry, reflectance spectrophotometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, orthogonal polarisation spectral imaging, indocyanine green clearance, hepatic vein catheterisation and measurements of plasma D-lactate. Although these methods share the ability to predict outcome in septic shock patients, it is important to emphasise that the measurement results are not interchangeable. Different techniques measure different elements of gastrointestinal perfusion. Gastric tonometry is currently the most widely used technique because of its non-invasiveness and ease of use. Despite all the recent advances, the usefulness of gastrointestinal perfusion parameters in clinical decision-making is still limited. Treatment strategies specifically aimed at improving gastrointestinal perfuision have failed to actually correct mucosal perfusion abnormalities and hence not shown to improve important clinical endpoints. Current and future treatment strategies for septic shock should be tested for their effects on gastrointestinal perfusion; to further clarify its exact role in patient management, and to prevent therapies detrimental to gastrointestinal perfusion being implemented.

Abstract
Patients with norepinephrine-dependent vasodilatory shock after cardiac surgery (n = 10) were compared with uncomplicated postcardiac surgery patients (n = 10) with respect to jejunal mucosal perfusion, gastric-arterial PCO2 gradient, and splanchnic oxygen demand/supply relationship. Furthermore, the effects of norepinephrine-induced variations in MAP on these variables were evaluated in vasodilatory shock. Norepinephrine infusion rate was randomly and sequentially titrated to target MAPs of 60, 75, and 90 mmHg (0.25 +/- 0.24, 0.37 +/- 0.21, and 0.55 +/- 0.39 microg/kg per minute, respectively). Data on jejunal mucosal perfusion, jejunal mucosal hematocrit, and red blood cell (RBC) velocity (laser Doppler flowmetry) as well as gastric-arterial PCO2 gradient (gastric tonometry) and splanchnic oxygen and lactate extraction (hepatic vein catheter) were obtained. Splanchnic oxygen extraction was 71 +/- 16% in the vasodilatory shock group and 41 +/- 9% in the control group (P < 0.001), whereas splanchnic lactate extraction did not differ between the two groups. Jejunal mucosal perfusion (61%; P < 0.001), RBC velocity (35%; P < 0.01), and gastric-arterial mucosal PCO2 gradient (150%; P < 0.001) were higher in the vasodilatory shock group compared with those of the control group. Jejunal mucosal perfusion, jejunal mucosal hematocrit, RBC velocity, gastric-arterial mucosal PCO2 gradient, splanchnic oxygen extraction, and splanchnic lactate extraction were not affected by increasing infusion rates of norepinephrine. In patients with norepinephrine-dependent vasodilatory shock after cardiac surgery, intestinal mucosal perfusion was higher, whereas splanchnic and gastric oxygen demand/supply relationships were impaired compared with postoperative controls, suggesting that intestinal mucosal perfusion is prioritized in vasodilatory shock. Increasing MAP from 60 to 90 mmHg with norepinephrine in clinical vasodilatory shock does not affect intestinal mucosal perfusion and gastric or global splanchnic oxygen demand/supply relationships.

Abstract
Although often clinically silent, pancreatic cellular injury (PCI) is relatively frequent after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass; and its etiology and time course are largely unknown. We defined PCI as the simultaneous presence of abnormal values of pancreatic isoamylase and immunoreactive trypsin (IRT). The frequency and time evolution of PCI were assessed in this condition using assays for specific exocrine pancreatic enzymes. Correlations with inflammatory markers were searched for preoperative risk factors. One hundred ninety-three patients submitted to cardiac surgery were enrolled prospectively. Blood IRT, amylase, pancreatic isoamylase, lipase, and markers of inflammation (alpha1-protease inhibitor, alpha2-macroglobulin, myeloperoxidase) were measured preoperatively and postoperatively until day 8. The postoperative increase in plasma levels of pancreatic enzymes and urinary IRT was biphasic in all patients: early after surgery and later (from day 4 to 8 after surgery). One hundred thirty-three patients (69%) experienced PCI, with mean IRT, isoamylase, and alpha1-protease inhibitor values higher for each sample than that in patients without PCI. By multiple regression analysis, we found preoperative values of plasma IRT >or=40 ng/mL, amylase >or=42 IU/mL, and pancreatic isoamylase >or=20 IU/L associated with a higher incidence of postsurgery PCI (P < 0.005). In the PCI patients, a significant correlation was found between the 4 pancreatic enzymes and urinary IRT, total calcium, myeloperoxidase, alpha1-protease inhibitor, and alpha2-macroglobulin. These data support a high prevalence of postoperative PCI after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, typically biphasic and clinically silent, especially when pancreatic enzymes were elevated preoperatively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The net effects of acute normovolemic hemodilution with different hemoglobin levels on splanchnic perfusion have not been elucidated. The hypothesis that during moderate and severe normovolemic hemodilution, systemic and splanchnic hemodynamic parameters, oxygen-derived variables, and biochemical markers of anaerobic metabolism do not reflect the adequacy of gastric mucosa, was tested in this study. METHODS Twenty one anesthetized mongrel dogs (16 +/- 1 kg) were randomized to controls (CT, n = 7, no hemodilution), moderate hemodilution (hematocrit 2 5% +/- 3%, n = 7) or severe hemodilution (severe hemodilution, hematocrit 15% +/- 3%, n = 7), through an isovolemic exchange of whole blood and 6% hydroxyethyl starch, at a 20 mL/min rate, to the target hematocrit. The animals were followed for 120 min after hemodilution. Cardiac output (CO, L/min), portal vein blood flow (PVF, mL/min), portal vein-arterial and gastric mucosa-arterial CO2 gradients (PV-artCO2 and PCO2 gap, mm Hg, respectively) were measured throughout the experiment. RESULTS Exchange blood volumes were 33.9 +/- 3.3 and 61.5 +/- 5.8 mL/kg for moderate hemodilution and severe hemodilution, respectively. Arterial pressure and systemic and regional lactate levels remained stable in all groups. There were initial increases in cardiac output and portal vein blood flow in both moderate hemodilution and severe hemodilution; systemic and regional oxygen consumption remained stable largely due to increases in oxygen extraction rate. There was a significant increase in the PCO2-gap value only in severe hemodilution animals. CONCLUSION Global and regional hemodynamic stability were maintained after moderate and severe hemodilution. However, a very low hematocrit induced gastric mucosal acidosis, suggesting that gastric mucosal CO2 monitoring may be useful during major surgery or following trauma.

Abstract
Animal studies have suggested that autoregulation of intestinal blood flow is severely impaired during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We investigated the jejunal mucosal capacity to autoregulate perfusion during nonpulsatile CPB (34 degrees C) in 10 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Changes in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were induced by altering the CPB flow rate randomly for periods of 3 min from 2.4 L/min/m2 to either 1.8 or 3.0 L/min/m2. Jejunal mucosal perfusion (JMP) was continuously recorded by laser Doppler flowmetry. A typical pattern of flow motion (vasomotion) was recorded in all patients during CPB. Variations in CPB flow rates caused no significant changes in mean JMP, jejunal mucosal hematocrit, or red blood cell velocity within a range of MAP from 50 +/- 15 to 74 +/- 16 mm Hg. The vasomotion frequency and amplitude was positively correlated with CPB flow rate. IV injections of prostacyclin (10 microg, Flolan) blunted vasomotion and increased JMP from 192 +/- 53 to 277 +/- 70 (P < 0.05) perfusion units despite a reduction in MAP from 59 +/- 12 to 45 +/- 10 mm Hg (P < 0.05). Prostacyclin-induced vasodilation resulted in loss of mucosal autoregulation (pressure-dependent perfusion). We conclude that autoregulation of intestinal mucosal perfusion is maintained during CPB in humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the potential differential effects of norepinephrine, an alpha1-, beta1-, and beta2-receptor agonist, to the alpha1-agonist phenylephrine on jejunal mucosal perfusion, gastric-arterial PCO2 gradient, and the global splanchnic oxygen demand-supply relationship after cardiac surgery. DESIGN A randomized, prospective, interventional crossover study. SETTING A university cardiothoracic intensive care unit. PATIENTS Ten patients were studied during propofol sedation and mechanical ventilation after uncomplicated coronary artery bypass surgery. INTERVENTIONS Each patient received randomly and sequentially norepinephrine (0.052+/-0.009 microg/kg/min) and phenylephrine (0.50+/-0.22 microg/kg/min) to increase mean arterial blood pressure by 30%. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Data on jejunal mucosal perfusion, jejunal mucosal hematocrit, and red blood cell velocity (laser Doppler flowmetry) as well as gastric-arterial Pco2 gradient (tonometry) and splanchnic oxygen extraction were obtained before (control) and during a 30-min drug infusion period after the target mean arterial blood pressure was reached. The procedure was sequentially repeated for the second vasopressor. Both drugs induced a 40-46% increase in systemic vascular resistance with no change in cardiac index. Neither jejunal mucosal perfusion, jejunal mucosal hematocrit, red blood cell velocity, nor gastric-arterial Pco2 gradient was affected by any of the vasopressors. Splanchnic oxygen extraction increased from 38.2% to 43.1% (p<.001) with norepinephrine and from 39.3% to 47.5% (p<.001) with phenylephrine. This increase was significantly more pronounced with phenylephrine compared with norepinephrine (p<.05). Mixed venous-hepatic vein oxygen saturation gradient increased with both drugs (p<.01), and the increase was more pronounced with phenylephrine (p<.05). Splanchnic lactate extraction was not significantly affected by any of the vasopressors. CONCLUSIONS Phenylephrine induced a more pronounced global alpha1-mediated splanchnic vasoconstriction compared with norepinephrine. Neither of the vasoconstrictors impaired perfusion of the gastrointestinal mucosa in postcardiac surgery patients. The lack of norepinephrine-induced, alpha1-mediated impairment of gastrointestinal perfusion is not explained by a beta2-mediated counteractive vasodilation but instead by possible mucosal autoregulatory escape.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Global left ventricular dysfunction after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest may be treated successfully with dobutamine but the effects on intestinal perfusion are unknown. METHODS In 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats ventricular fibrillation was induced. After 4 min of untreated cardiac arrest, precordial chest compression was performed for 4 min; adrenaline (epinephrine) (90 microg kg(-1)) was injected, followed by defibrillation. Return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 18 animals, which were allocated to receive saline 0.9% (control group, n = 6), dobutamine at 5 microg kg(-1) min(-1) (n = 6) or dobutamine at 10 microg kg(-1) min(-1) (n = 6). Measurements of haemodynamic variables and intestinal tonometer P(CO2) were made before induction of ventricular fibrillation and 15, 30, 60, and 120 min postresuscitation. RESULTS At 120 min postresuscitation, mean aortic pressure was 82 +/- 20, 104 +/- 19, and 113 +/- 15 mmHg for the control group, the dobutamine (5 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) group and the dobutamine (10 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) group (P < 0.05 for comparison of the dobutamine (10 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) group versus the control group). Respective abdominal aortic blood flow was 107 +/- 16, 133 +/- 49, and 145 +/- 18 ml min(-1) kg(-1) (P < 0.05 for comparison of the dobutamine (10 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) group versus the control group), and superior mesenteric artery blood flow was 25 +/- 9, 28 +/- 8, and 33 +/- 8 ml min(-1) kg(-1). Arterial lactate was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the control group (2.3 +/- 0.6 mmol l(-1)) than in the dobutamine (5 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) group (1.6 +/- 0.3 mmol l(-1)) and dobutamine (10 microg kg(-1) min(-1)) group (1.5 +/- 0.3 mmol l(-1)). Tonometrically derived P(CO2) gap was highly elevated at 15 min of postresuscitation and returned to prearrest level at 120 min postresuscitation in all groups. CONCLUSIONS Dobutamine enhances the recovery of global haemodynamic and metabolic variables early after cardiac arrest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stewart's strong ion theory quantifies unmeasured tissue acids produced following hypoxia or hypoperfusion, by calculation of the strong ion gap. Our study objectives were as follows: a) to determine the 24-hr profile of the strong ion gap following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery; and b) to compare the prognostic value in terms of intensive care unit mortality of this variable with blood lactate. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING Tertiary pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS Eighty-five children following surgery for congenital heart disease. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Arterial blood samples for lactate and strong ion gap calculation were obtained at intensive care unit admission and at 24 hrs. A raised strong ion gap (>3 mEq/L) was present in 41.1% and 51.7% of admission and 24-hr samples, respectively, being elevated at both time points in 30.5%. Both the strong ion gap and lactate increased with surgical complexity, but neither was correlated with length of bypass (r = .13 and -.02) or aortic cross-clamp (r = .13 and .10). The crude mortality was 5.8% (5/85). Four of the five deaths were associated with a persistently elevated strong ion gap, in contrast to two with ongoing hyperlactatemia (>2 mmol/L). The admission strong ion gap (cutoff, >3.2 mEq/L) was superior to lactate (cutoff, >3.0 mmol/L) as a mortality predictor (area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.85 [95% confidence interval, 0.74-0.95] vs. 0.71 [95% confidence interval, 0.44-0.98], respectively). CONCLUSIONS An elevated strong ion gap occurs commonly following bypass surgery and appears to be superior to lactate as a mortality predictor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An imbalance between splanchnic oxygen supply and demand occurs during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in man, which might disrupt the intestinal mucosal barrier function. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of mild hypothermic CPB on intestinal mucosal perfusion in man undergoing cardiac surgery. Additionally we aimed to identify variables, which independently could predict changes of intestinal mucosal microcirculatory variables during CPB. METHODS Jejunal mucosal perfusion (JMP), jejunal mucosal hematocrit (JMHt), red blood cell (RBC) velocity and arteriolar vasomotion using endoluminal jejunal laser Doppler flow metry were studied in eight cardiac surgical patients before and during CPB at a temperature of 34 degrees C. RESULTS Cardiopulmonary bypass and the accompanied hemodilution (25-30%) induced a 44% increase in JMP (P < 0.05) and a 42% increase in RBC velocity (P < 0.01), with no change in JMHt. The oscillation amplitude of JMP, at a fundamental frequency of 2.8 cycles min(-1), increased with 175% (P < 0.05) during CPB. Splanchnic oxygen extraction increased by 64% during CPB (P < 0.05). Stepwise multiple regression analysis identified systemic hematocrit, arterial O2 and CO2 tension and splanchnic oxygen extraction as independent predictors of RBC velocity during CPB (R2=0.63, P < 0.001). The oscillation amplitude of JMP was predicted by RBC velocity and splanchnic oxygen extraction (R2= 0.68, P <0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The increase in RBC velocity and enhanced arteriolar vasomotion, as well as maintained jejunal mucosal hematocrit, are microcirculatory, compensatory mechanisms for the splanchic oxygen supply/demand mismatch seen during cardiopulmonary bypass in humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of low hepatosplanchnic blood flow on regional blood flow control and oxygenation. DESIGN Three randomized, controlled animal experiments. SETTING Two university experimental research laboratories. SUBJECTS Pigs of either gender. INTERVENTIONS Isolated abdominal blood flow reduction: An extracorporeal shunt with reservoir and roller pump was inserted between proximal and distal aorta in 11 pigs. Abdominal aortic blood flow was reduced by 50% by activating the shunt. Mesenteric ischemia: In seven pigs, superior mesenteric arterial flow was reduced to 4 mL.kg.min for 4 hrs. Cardiac tamponade: In 12 pigs, aortic blood flow was reduced by cardiac tamponade to 50 mL (moderate tamponade) and further to 30 mL.kg.min (severe tamponade) for 1 hr each. In each experimental condition, the same number of control animals was used. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Abdominal blood flow reduction, acute mesenteric ischemia, and moderate tamponade resulted in a portal venous flow (QPV) reduction to 51 +/- 23%, 52 +/- 18%, and 61 +/- 25% (mean +/- sd) of baseline flow, respectively. During abdominal blood flow reduction, QPV and hepatic arterial flow (QHA) decreased proportionally, whereas in moderate tamponade and acute mesenteric ischemia QPV reduction was associated with an increase in QHA of 30 +/- 39% and 102 +/- 108%, respectively (p = .001 and .018). Prolonged mesenteric ischemia restored total hepatic blood flow (Qliver) completely. During all conditions, decreasing mesenteric oxygen consumption was partly prevented by increased mesenteric oxygen extraction (p < .001 for all conditions). In contrast, decreasing hepatic oxygen delivery was associated with increased oxygen extraction in tamponade (p = .009) but not in abdominal blood flow reduction. CONCLUSIONS Blood flow redistribution can restore Qliver totally when mesenteric blood flow is reduced selectively, partially when cardiac output is reduced, and not at all during abdominal blood flow reduction. Since hepatic oxygen extraction does not increase in abdominal blood flow reduction, hepatic oxygenation is at risk in this condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of the ultrapotent poly(adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor INO-1001 on cardiac and mesenteric function during reperfusion in an experimental model of cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioplegic arrest. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, and blinded experimental study. SETTING Research laboratory. SUBJECTS : Twelve anesthetized dogs underwent cardiopulmonary bypass with hypothermic cardioplegic cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS After 60 mins of hypothermic cardiac arrest, either PARP inhibitor INO-1001 (1 mg/kg, n = 6) or vehicle (control, n = 6) was administered during reperfusion. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Left ventricular hemodynamic variables were measured by combined pressure-volume-conductance catheters. Coronary and mesenteric blood flow and vasodilatory responses to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside as well as mesenteric lactate and creatinine phosphokinase release were also determined. The administration of INO-1001 led to a significantly improved recovery of left ventricular systolic function (p < .05) after 60 mins of reperfusion. Coronary and mesenteric blood flow were also significantly higher in the INO-1001 group (p < .05). Although the vasodilatory response to sodium nitroprusside was similar in both groups before and after cardiopulmonary bypass and similar in response to acetylcholine before cardiopulmonary bypass, PARP-inhibited dogs had lower mesenteric vascular resistance after cardiopulmonary bypass (p < .05). Mesenteric lactate and creatinine phosphokinase release was significantly lower in the PARP inhibitor treated group (p < .05). CONCLUSION PARP inhibition with INO-1001 improves the recovery of myocardial function and prevents mesenteric vascular dysfunction and tissue injury after cardiopulmonary bypass with hypothermic cardiac arrest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether near infrared spectroscopic measurement of tissue pH and Po2 has sufficient accuracy to assess variation in tissue perfusion resulting from changes in blood pressure and metabolic demand during cardiopulmonary bypass. DESIGN Prospective clinical study. SETTING Academic medical center. SUBJECTS Eighteen elective cardiac surgical patients. INTERVENTION Cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A near infrared spectroscopic fiber optic probe was placed over the hypothenar eminence. Reference Po2 and pH sensors were inserted in the abductor digiti minimi (V). Data were collected every 30 secs during surgery and for 6 hrs following cardiopulmonary bypass. Calibration equations developed from one third of the data were used with the remaining data to investigate sensitivity of the near infrared spectroscopic measurement to physiologic changes resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass. Near infrared spectroscopic and reference pH and Po2 measurements were compared for each subject using standard error of prediction. Near infrared spectroscopic pH and Po2 at baseline were compared with values during cardiopulmonary bypass just before rewarming commenced (hypotensive, hypothermic), after rewarming (hypotensive, normothermic) just before discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass, and at 6 hrs following cardiopulmonary bypass (normotensive, normothermic) using mixed-model analysis of variance. Near infrared spectroscopic pH and Po2 were well correlated with the invasive measurement of pH (R2 =.84) and Po2 (R 2 =.66) with an average standard error of prediction of 0.022 +/- 0.008 pH units and 6 +/- 3 mm Hg, respectively. The average difference between the invasive and near infrared spectroscopic measurement was near zero for both the pH and Po2 measurements. Near infrared spectroscopic Po2 significantly decreased 50% on initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass and remained depressed throughout the bypass and monitored intensive care period. Near infrared spectroscopic pH decreased significantly during cardiopulmonary bypass, decreased significantly during rewarming, and remained depressed 6 hrs after cardiopulmonary bypass. Diabetic patients responded differently than nondiabetic subjects to cardiopulmonary bypass, with lower muscle pH values (p =.02). CONCLUSIONS Near infrared spectroscopic-measured muscle pH and Po2 are sensitive to changes in tissue perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of norepinephrine alone and norepinephrine combined with dopamine on jejunal mucosal perfusion, gastric-arterial pCO(2) gradient, and global splanchnic oxygen demand-supply relationship after cardiac surgery. DESIGN A prospective interventional study. SETTING A university cardiothoracic intensive care unit. PATIENTS Eighteen patients were studied during propofol sedation and mechanical ventilation after uncomplicated coronary artery bypass surgery. INTERVENTIONS After control measurements, each patient received norepinephrine (50+/-26 ng.kg.min) to increase mean arterial blood pressure by 30% followed by addition of low-dose dopamine (2.6+/-0.3 microg x kg x min). Postdrug control measurements were performed 120 min after discontinuation of the catecholamines. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Norepinephrine induced a 32% increase in systemic vascular resistance with no change in cardiac index. Neither jejunal mucosal perfusion, assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry, nor gastric-arterial pCO(2) gradient (tonometry) was affected by norepinephrine. Splanchnic O(2)-extraction increased ( P<0.05) and this increase was positively correlated to the individual dose of norepinephrine ( r = 0.78, P<0.0001). Splanchnic lactate extraction was increased by norepinephrine ( P<0.05). None of the patients had splanchnic lactate production during norepinephrine infusion. The addition of dopamine increased cardiac index by 27% ( P<0.001) and decreased splanchnic O(2 )extraction. Dopamine increased jejunal mucosal perfusion by 32% ( P<0.001) while the gastric-arterial pCO(2) gradient remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS Vasopressor therapy with norepinephrine after cardiac surgery did not jeopardize intestinal mucosal perfusion in spite of a dose-dependent increase of the global splanchnic oxygen demand-supply relationship. The addition of dopamine increased intestinal mucosal perfusion.

Abstract
Controversy exists as to the best means to monitor the critically ill patient and the appropriate end points of therapy. Use of global hemodynamic or metabolic parameters may be normal in the patient who has not been completely or adequately resuscitated. Decreased perfusion to the gut is not well tolerated and may contribute to the development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Gastric tonometry is a minimally invasive way to monitor splanchnic perfusion in the critically ill patient. Data suggest that tonometry is useful for outcome prognostication and for detection of early hypovolemia. In addition, use of gastric intramucosal pH or mucosal-arterial CO(2) gap as end points of resuscitation may be superior to other conventional whole-body parameters. For these reasons, gastric tonometry must be considered the hemodynamic monitor of choice.

Abstract
We evaluated the hepatic arterial buffer response (HABR) to portal vein (PV) occlusion during 2 h of reduced superior mesenteric arterial blood flow (median 2 mL min(-1) kg(-1), range of 1-3 mL min(-1) kg(-1)) and 1 h of reperfusion in seven pigs and in seven controls. In animals with reduced mesenteric blood flow, celiac trunk blood flow (Qtr) increased during mesenteric hypoperfusion from 4 +/- 1 mL min(-1) kg(-1) (mean +/- SD) to 16 +/- 3 mL min(-1) kg(-1) (P = 0.028), and hepatic arterial blood flow (Qha) increased from 2 +/- 1 to 10 +/- 4 mL min(-1) kg(-1) (P= 0.018). The extra-hepatic fraction of Qtr (Qtr-Qha) also increased (P = 0.028). In controls, Qtr and Qha also increased, but to lower levels. At baseline, acute PV occlusion increased Qha by 5.0 +/- 2.8 mL min(-1) kg(-1) (P < 0.001), whereas Qtr-Qha decreased by 1.6 +/- 1.6 mL min(-1) kg(-1) (P = 0.007). After 120 min of reduced mesenteric blood flow, the HABR was exhausted (change in Qha to PV occlusion of 0.7 +/- 1.6 mL min(-1) kg(-1) [P= 0.27]). The efficacy of the HABR was also reduced in controls animals. Despite increased cardiac output, all flows from the celiac trunk decreased during reperfusion (P = 0.028) and the HABR partially recovered. We conclude that reduced mesenteric perfusion impairs the HABR, which recovers only partially after reperfusion. The distribution of the increased celiac trunk flow secondary to PV occlusion ranges from increased HABR and decreased non-hepatic blood flow (a steal) to decreased hepatic arterial blood flow and increased non-hepatic blood flow (an inverse steal).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To verify the hypothesis that the gastric intraluminal PCO2 (PgCO2) changes independently of the change in cardiac output (CO) during and after cardiovascular surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and that the elevation of PgCO2 affects the patients' morbidity. DESIGN Prospective, noninterventional study. SETTING Medical/surgical intensive care unit and operating theater of a university hospital. PATIENTS Sixteen adults patients receiving elective cardiovascular surgery using CPB. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS After induction of anesthesia, the patients were fitted with a gastric tube equipped at the tip with a CO2 sensor (ion-selective field effect transistor) that can continuously measure real-time PgCO2, and a pulmonary artery catheter capable of monitoring continuous CO (CCO) and end-tidal CO2. Data from the devices was uploaded to a personal computer every 2 mins until the catheter was pulled off based on clinical judgment (PgCO2 values were blinded to everyone except the investigator). One patient expired as a result of multiple organ failure subsequent to sepsis, and postoperative morbidity assessed by the peak SOFA (sequential organ failure assessment) score (mean +/- SD 6.9 +/- 3.5; range, 2-13) was correlated with the peak PgCO2 during intensive care unit stay (mean +/- SD 74.1 +/- 30.7 mm Hg; range, 45-169 mm Hg) (p < .01, by regression analysis). The peak PgCO2 during surgery (mean +/- SD 71.1 +/- 18.1 mm Hg; range, 44-115 mm Hg) had no correlation with the postoperative morbidity. From analysis of CCO before, during, and after returning from the above 60 mm Hg of PgCO2, PgCO2 changed independently of CCO. CONCLUSIONS PgCO2 changed independently of CCO, and its postoperative elevation was related to morbidity, even in the group of patients with a good outcome. Continuous monitoring of PgCO2 is useful for the detection of morbidity and can be expected to help elucidate the pathophysiology of change of PgCO2.
