Abstract
In endotoxemic models, the inflammatory parameters are altered to a favorable direction as a response to activation of cannabinoid receptors 1 and 2. The phytocannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is an agonist/partial antagonist of both cannabinoid receptors. This report targets the effects of THC on the cardiovascular system of endotoxemic rats. In our 24-hour endotoxemic rat model (E. coli derived lipopolysaccharide, LPS i.v. 5mg/kg) with THC treatment (LPS+THC 10 mg/kg i.p.), we investigated cardiac function by echocariography and endothelium-dependent relaxation of the thoracic aorta by isometric force measurement compared to vehicle controls. To evaluate the molecular mechanism, we measured endothelial NOS and COX-2 density by immunohistochemistry; and determined the levels of cGMP, the oxidative stress marker 4-hydroxynonenal, the nitrative stress marker 3-nitrotyrosine, and poly(ADP-ribose) polymers. A decrease in end-systolic and end-diastolic ventricular volumes in the LPS group was observed, which was absent in LPS+THC animals. Endothelium-dependent relaxation was worsened by LPS but not in the LPS+THC group. LPS administration decreased the abundance of cannabinoid receptors. Oxidative-nitrative stress markers showed an increment, and cGMP, eNOS staining showed a decrement in response to LPS. THC only decreased the oxidative-nitrative stress but had no effect on cGMP and eNOS density. COX-2 staining was reduced by THC. We hypothesize that the reduced diastolic filling in the LPS group is a consequence of vascular dysfunction, preventable by THC. The mechanism of action of THC is not based on its local effect on aortic NO homeostasis. The reduced oxidative-nitrative stress and the COX-2 suggest the activation of an anti-inflammatory pathway.

J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open 2020; 1:222-230.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Research evaluating the relationship between vasopressor initiation timing and clinical outcomes is limited and conflicting. We investigated the association between time to vasopressors, worsening organ failure, and mortality in patients with septic shock. METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients with septic shock (2013-2016) within 24 hours of emergency department (ED) presentation. The primary outcome was worsening organ failure, defined as an increase in Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score ≥2 at 48 hours compared to baseline, or death within 48 hours. The secondary outcome was 28-day mortality. Time to vasopressor initiation was categorized into 6, 4-hour intervals from time of ED triage. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify predictors of worsening organ failure. RESULTS We analyzed data from 428 patients with septic shock. There were 152 patients with the composite primary outcome (SOFA increase ≥2 or death at 48 hours). Of these, 77 patients died in the first 48 hours and 75 patients had a SOFA increase ≥2. Compared to the patients who received vasopressors in the first 4 hours, those with the longest time to vasopressors (20-24 hours) had increased odds of developing worsening organ failure (odds ratios [OR] = 4.34, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.47-12.79, P = 0.008). For all others, the association between vasopressor timing and worsening organ failure was non-significant. There was no association between time to vasopressor initiation and 28-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS Increased time to vasopressor initiation is an independent predictor of worsening organ failure for patients with vasopressor initiation delays >20 hours.

Effects of very early start of norepinephrine in patients with septic shock: a propensity score-based analysis. Crit Care 2020; 24:52. [PMID: 32059682 PMCID: PMC7023737 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-020-2756-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2019] [Accepted: 01/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal timing for the start of vasopressors (VP) in septic shock has not been widely studied since it is assumed that fluids must be administered in advance. We sought to evaluate whether a very early start of VP, even without completing the initial fluid loading, might impact clinical outcomes in septic shock. METHODS A total of 337 patients with sepsis requiring VP support for at least 6 h were initially selected from a prospectively collected database in a 90-bed mixed-ICU during a 24-month period. They were classified into very-early (VE-VPs) or delayed vasopressor start (D-VPs) categories according to whether norepinephrine was initiated or not within/before the next hour of the first resuscitative fluid load. Then, VE-VPs (n = 93) patients were 1:1 propensity matched to D-VPs (n = 93) based on age; source of admission (emergency room, general wards, intensive care unit); chronic and acute comorbidities; and lactate, heart rate, systolic, and diastolic pressure at vasopressor start. A risk-adjusted Cox proportional hazard model was fitted to assess the association between VE-VPs and day 28 mortality. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was performed also including those patients requiring VP support for less than 6 h. RESULTS Patients subjected to VE-VPs received significantly less resuscitation fluids at vasopressor starting (0[0-510] vs. 1500[650-2300] mL, p < 0.001) and during the first 8 h of resuscitation (1100[500-1900] vs. 2600[1600-3800] mL, p < 0.001), with no significant increase in acute renal failure and/or renal replacement therapy requirements. VE-VPs was related with significant lower net fluid balances 8 and 24 h after VPs. VE-VPs was also associated with a significant reduction in the risk of death compared to D-VPs (HR 0.31, CI95% 0.17-0.57, p < 0.001) at day 28. Such association was maintained after including patients receiving vasopressors for < 6 h. CONCLUSION A very early start of vasopressor support seems to be safe, might limit the amount of fluids to resuscitate septic shock, and could lead to better clinical outcomes.

Early Use of Norepinephrine Improves Survival in Septic Shock: Earlier than Early. Arch Med Res 2019; 50:325-332.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The timing of initiation of Norepinephrine (NEP) in septic shock is controversial. AIM OF THE STUDY We evaluated the impact of early NEP simultaneously with fluids in those patients. METHODS We randomized 101 patients admitted to the emergency department with septic shock to early NEP simultaneously with IV fluids (early group) or after failed fluids trial (late group). The primary outcome was the in-hospital survival while the secondary outcomes were the time to target mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg, lactate clearance and resuscitation volumes. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the baseline characteristics. NEP infusion started after 25 (20-30) and 120 (120-180) min in the early and late groups (p = 0.000). MAP of 65 mmHg was achieved faster in the early group (2 [1-3.5] h vs. 3 [2-4.75] h, p = 0.003). Serum lactate was decreased by 37.8 (24-49%) and 22.2 (3.3-38%) in both groups respectively (p = 0.005). Patients with early NEP were resuscitated by significantly lower volume of fluids (25 [18.8-28.7] mL/kg vs. 32.5 [24.4-34.6] mL/kg) in the early and late groups (p = 0.000). The early group had survival rate of 71.9% compared to 45.5% in the late group (p = 0.007). NEP started after 30 (20-120 min) in survivors vs. 120 (30-165 min) in non-survivors (p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS We concluded that early Norepinephrine in septic shock might cause earlier restoration of blood pressure, better lactate clearance and improve in-hospital survival.

Abstract
Background Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is a major threat to patients with trauma and spontaneous bleeding. The aim of the study was to investigate early effects of vasopressin on metabolic and hemodynamic parameters and endothelium permeability by measuring capillary leakage compared to those of other resuscitation strategies in a HS model. Methods Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into five groups: S group (n = 5), sham-operated rats without shock or resuscitation; HS group (n = 10), HS and no resuscitation; RL group (n = 10), HS and resuscitation with Ringer’s lactate (RL); RLB group (n = 10), HS and resuscitation with two-third shed blood plus RL; and vasopressin group (n = 10), HS and resuscitation with RL, followed by continuous infusion of 0.04 U/kg/min vasopressin. The effects of resuscitation on hemodynamic parameters [mean arterial pressure (MAP), superior mesenteric artery blood flow (MBF), and mesenteric vascular resistances (MVR)], arterial blood gases, bicarbonate, base deficit, and lactate levels as well as on capillary leakage in the lung, ileum, and kidney were investigated. Capillary leakage was evaluated with Evans blue dye extravasation. Results In the vasopressin group, the MAP was higher than in the RL and RLB groups (p < 0.001), while MBF was decreased (p < 0.001). MVR were increased only in the vasopressin group (p < 0.001). Capillary leakage was increased in the lungs of the animals in the vasopressin group compared to that in the lungs of animals in the RLB group (p < 0.05); this increase was associated with the lowest partial pressure of oxygen (p < 0.05). Conversely, decreased capillary leakage was observed with vasopressin in the ileum (p < 0.05). Increased capillary leakage was observed in the kidney in the RLB and vasopressin groups (p < 0.05). Lastly, vasopressin use was associated with higher base deficit and lactate levels when compared to the RL and RLB groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion Although vasopressin was proposed as a vasoactive drug for provisional hemodynamic optimization in the early phase of HS resuscitation, the overall findings of this experimental study focus on the possible critical side effects of vasopressin on metabolic parameters and endothelium permeability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study investigated the incidence of delayed norepinephrine administration following the onset of septic shock and its effect on hospital mortality. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from 213 adult septic shock patients treated at two general surgical intensive care units of a tertiary care hospital over a two year period. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. RESULTS The 28-day mortality was 37.6% overall. Among the 213 patients, a strong relationship between delayed initial norepinephrine administration and 28-day mortality was noted. The average time to initial norepinephrine administration was 3.1 ± 2.5 hours. Every 1-hour delay in norepinephrine initiation during the first 6 hours after septic shock onset was associated with a 5.3% increase in mortality. Twenty-eight day mortality rates were significantly higher when norepinephrine administration was started more than or equal to 2 hours after septic shock onset (Late-NE) compared to less than 2 hours (Early-NE). Mean arterial pressures at 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after septic shock onset were significantly higher and serum lactate levels at 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours were significantly lower in the Early-NE than the Late-NE group. The duration of hypotension and norepinephrine administration was significantly shorter and the quantity of norepinephrine administered in a 24-hour period was significantly less for the Early-NE group compared to the Late-NE group. The time to initial antimicrobial treatment was not significantly different between the Early-NE and Late-NE groups. CONCLUSION Our results show that early administration of norepinephrine in septic shock patients is associated with an increased survival rate.

Abstract
This review aimed to answer whether the vasopressors are useful at the early phase of hemorrhagic shock. Data were taken from published experimental studies and clinical trials. Published case reports were discarded. A search of electronic database PubMed was conducted using keywords of hemorrhagic shock, vasopressors, vasoconstrictors, norepinephrine, epinephrine, vasopressin. The redundant papers were not included. We identified 15 experimental studies that compared hemorrhagic shock resuscitated with or without vasopressors, three retrospective clinical studies, and one controlled trial. The experimental and clinical studies are discussed in the clinical context, and their strengths as well as limitations are highlighted. There is a strong rationale for a vasopressor support in severe hemorrhagic shock. However, this should be tempered by the risk of excessive vasoconstriction during such hypovolemic state. The experimental models must be analyzed within their own limits and cannot be directly translated into clinical practice. In addition, because of many biases, the results of clinical trials are debatable. Therefore, based on current information, further clinical trials comparing early vasopressor support plus fluid resuscitation versus fluid resuscitation alone are warranted.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate endogenous toxic substrates and liver monooxygenase function in cardiosurgical patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods: 45 patients with MODS and 34 patients with an uneventful postoperative period were studied. The endogenous substrates were quantified with blood middle molecules (MM). Liver monooxygenase function was evaluated with antipyrine (AP) pharmacokinetics. Results: On the first postoperative day, MODS patients were characterized by high concentration of toxic substrates (MM: +43.8%) and a significant decrease in liver monooxygenase function (AP clearance: −44%), while controls patients had a mild increase in endogenous substrates and a slight depression in monooxygenase function. On the 3rd–4th postoperative day, in the main group, endogenous substrates increased (MM: +53.1%), while in the control group toxic substrates decreased (MM: +6.9%). In both groups, an increase in liver monooxygenase function was noticed. Major differences were observed on the 10th–12th postoperative day. In the main group, toxic substrates remained elevated (MM: +37.5%) and monooxygenase function was depressed (AP clearance: −45.4%), while in the control group endogenous substrates and monooxygenase function were equal to the baseline. The correlation analysis showed a negative relationship between AP pharmacokinetics and endogenous substrates. Conclusion: Slowdown in liver microsomal oxidation is one of the main reasons for the accumulation of endogenous toxic substrates in MODS cardiac patients.

Abstract
Volume substitution represents an essential component of intensive care medicine. The amount of fluid administered, the composition and the timing of volume replacement seem to affect the morbidity and mortality of critically ill patients. Although restrictive volume strategies bear the risk of tissue hypoperfusion and tissue hypoxia in hemodynamically unstable patients liberal strategies favour the development of avoidable hypervolemia with edema and resultant organ dysfunction. However, neither strategy has shown a consistent benefit. In order to account for the heavily varying oxygen demand of critically ill patients, a goal-directed, demand-adapted volume strategy is proposed. Using this strategy, volume replacement should be aligned to the need to restore tissue perfusion and the evidence of volume responsiveness. As the efficiency of volume resuscitation for correction of tissue hypoxia is time-dependent, preload optimization should be completed in the very first hours. Whether colloids or crystalloids are more suitable for this purpose is still controversially discussed. Nevertheless, a temporally limited use of colloids during the initial stage of tissue hypoperfusion appears to represent a strategy which uses the greater volume effect during hypovolemia while minimizing the risks for adverse reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The kind of fluid for correcting hypovolaemia is still a focus of debate. In a prospective, randomized, controlled and double-blind study in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, a total balanced volume replacement strategy including a new balanced hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solution was compared with a conventional, non-balanced fluid regimen. METHODS In Group A (n = 15), a new balanced 6% HES 130/0.42 was given along with a balanced crystalloid solution; in Group B (n = 15), an unbalanced conventional HES 130/0.42 plus an unbalanced crystalloid (saline solution) were administered. Volume was given when mean arterial pressure (MAP) was <65 mmHg and central venous pressure (CVP) minus positive end-expiratoric pressure (PEEP) level was <10 mmHg. Haemodynamics, acid-base status, coagulation (thrombelastography (TEG)) and kidney function (including kidney-specific proteins, N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase (beta-NAG) and alpha-1-microglobulin) were measured after induction of anaesthesia, at the end of surgery, 5 and 24 h after surgery. RESULTS Group A received 3533 +/- 1302 mL of HES and 5333 +/- 1063 mL of crystalloids, in Group B, 3866 +/- 1674 mL of HES and 5966 +/- 1202 mL of crystalloids were given. Haemodynamics, laboratory data, TEG data and kidney function were without significant differences between the groups. Cl- concentration and base excess (-5 +/- 2.4 mmol L-1 vs. 0.4 +/- 2.4 mmol L-1) were significantly higher in patients of Group B than of Group A. CONCLUSIONS A complete balanced volume replacement strategy including a new balanced HES preparation resulted in significantly less derangement in acid-base status compared with a non-balanced volume replacement regimen. The new HES preparation showed no negative effects on coagulation and kidney function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of dobutamine and phenylephrine on intra- and postoperative survival in horses undergoing emergency abdominal surgery. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case analysis. ANIMALS A total of 637 client-owned horses undergoing colic surgery. METHODS Clinical details of horses admitted for colic surgery were recorded on a computer database. Information collected included history, clinical variables observed before surgery, anaesthesia and surgical details, and postoperative survival and morbidity rates. Details of specific importance for this study were those recorded during anaesthesia, in particular the duration of dobutamine and phenylephrine administration, separately and combined, and total anaesthesia time. Two outcomes were considered: 1) intra-operative death, i.e. death between time of pre-anaesthetic medication and recovery from anaesthesia (defined as horse walking from recovery box); and 2) all deaths, i.e. death at any time after induction of anaesthesia. The definition of 'death' included euthanasia. Univariable and multivariable statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the associations between dobutamine and/or phenylephrine use and these two outcomes. RESULTS Results from univariable analyses suggested that dobutamine administration was not significantly associated with increased intra- or postoperative mortality. Phenylephrine administration showed univariable association with intra- and postoperative death. However, in multivariable models adjusted for the effects of heart rate and packed cell volume at admission, the phenylephrine effect was not significantly associated with intra-operative, or other types of death. CONCLUSION This study provides no evidence to suggest that dobutamine or phenylephrine administration is associated with altered survival rates during or after colic surgery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our study supports previous work, suggesting that pre-existing cardiovascular status is an important prognostic determinant in equine colic cases. It provides no evidence that dobutamine or phenylephrine administration is associated with survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Traumatic brain injury is frequently accompanied by a systemic inflammatory response. Systemic inflammation was associated with cerebral hyperperfusion uncoupled to global oxygen metabolism in ovine head trauma. The present study investigated the cerebral effects of cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) management performed by either fluid resuscitation or vasopressor treatment of low CPP induced by systemic inflammation. DESIGN Nonrandomized experimental study. SETTING University hospital laboratory. SUBJECTS A total of 12 adult sheep. INTERVENTIONS, MEASUREMENTS, AND MAIN RESULTS Sheep were anesthetized and ventilated throughout the experimental period (13 hrs). After baseline measurements (hour 0), blunt head trauma was induced by a nonpenetrating stunner. After postinjury measurements (hour 2), all animals received continuous endotoxin infusion. At hour 10, one group (n = 6) was infused with hydroxyethyl starch until CPP reached 60-70 mm Hg. A second group (n = 6) received norepinephrine for CPP elevation. In the norepinephrine group, blood was isovolemically exchanged by hydroxyethyl starch to achieve comparable hematocrit levels. Head trauma increased intracranial pressure and decreased brain tissue oxygen tension. Endotoxemia induced a hyperdynamic cardiovascular response with increased internal carotid blood flow in the presence of systemic hypotension and decreased CPP. Hydroxyethyl starch infusion further increased internal carotid blood flow from (mean +/- sd) 247 +/- 26 (hour 10) to 342 +/- 42 mL/min (hour 13) and intracranial pressure from 20 +/- 4 (hour 10) to a maximum of 25 +/- 3 mm Hg (hour 12) but did not significantly affect brain tissue oxygen tension, sinus venous oxygen saturation and oxygen extraction fraction. Norepinephrine increased internal carotid blood flow from 268 +/- 19 to 342 +/- 58 mL/min and intracranial pressure from 22 +/- 11 to 24 +/- 11 mm Hg (hour 10 vs. hour 13) but significantly increased sinus venous oxygen saturation from 49 +/- 4 (hour 10) to a maximum of 59 +/- 6 mm Hg (hour 12) and decreased oxygen extraction fraction. The increase in brain tissue oxygen tension during norepinephrine treatment was not significant. CONCLUSION We conclude that despite identical carotid blood flows, only CPP management with norepinephrine reduced the cerebral oxygen deficit in this model.

Abstract
The value of human albumin (HA) for treating hypovolemia is controversial. Less expensive alternatives such as hydroxyethyl starch (HES) are sometimes refused because of unwanted side effects. We prospectively randomized 50 patients older than 70 years old undergoing major abdominal surgery to receive either 5% HA (n = 25) or a third generation HES preparation (6% HES 130/0.4; n = 25) when mean arterial blood pressure was <60 mm Hg and central venous pressure was <10 mm Hg. Hemodynamics, inflammation (interleukin-6), endothelial activation-integrity (adhesion molecules), coagulation (thrombelastography), and renal function (including kidney-specific proteins) were monitored after the induction of anesthesia, after surgery, 5 h in the intensive care unit, and on the first postoperative day. HA patients received 3960 +/- 590 mL of HA and 5070 +/- 1030 mL of Ringer's lactate solution, and HES patients received 3500 +/- 530 mL of HES and 4550 +/- 880 mL of Ringer's lactate solution. Total protein remained normal only in the HA-treated patients. No significant differences (P > 0.1) between the groups were seen with regard to hemodynamics, coagulation, and kidney function. Plasma levels of interleukin-6 and soluble adhesion molecules were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the HA- than in the HES-treated patients. We conclude that HA in elderly patients undergoing major abdominal surgery can easily be replaced by a modern HES preparation. Because of the decreased inflammatory response and endothelial activation-injury, HES 130/0.4 seems to be the more appropriate fluid strategy for these patients.

Abstract
Biventricular dilation and severe cardiac dysfunction are observed during septic shock. However, when endotoxemia and vasoconstrictor-masked hypovolemia work in concert in the pathogenesis of shock, the clinical scenario is more adverse compared to one of the insults acting alone. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in chronic and acute heart failure by degrading the mechanical scaffold of the heart and several intracellular proteins. Therefore, the roles of MMP-2, MMP-9, MT1-MMP, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and Paxillin in hearts of early multiple organ failure induced by norfenefrine-masked hypovolemia and endotoxemia were investigated in an ovine model. Experimental groups included (1) norfenefrine-masked hypovolemia plus endotoxemia (NMH+ENDO) (n=6), (2) norfenefrine-masked hypovolemia without endotoxemia (NMH) (n=6), (3) recurrent endotoxemia during normovolemia (ENDO) (n=6), and (4) healthy untreated controls (CON) (n=3). Apoptosis was determined by TUNEL-staining. Gel zymography revealed significantly increased MMP-2 activity in NMH+ENDO compared to ENDO and controls. MMP-9 activity was significantly elevated in all experimental groups. MMP-2 was significantly increased at the protein level, while MMP-9 was unaltered. MT1-MMP was not significantly changed in any group. Increased MMP activities were associated with cardiac deterioration. MMP-2/-9 activity and phosphorylated Paxillin (p-Paxillin) expression correlated positively with cardiomyocyte apoptosis. This study underscores the pivotal roles of MMP in acute cardiac dysfunction during early multiple organ failure in combined vasoconstrictor-masked hypovolemic and endotoxemia shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this retrospective study, we reviewed our protocol for management of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic injury. METHODS We managed the patients with the same predetermined plan including controlled hemodynamic resuscitation with early use of vasopressors and pelvic angiography as a first-line treatment. RESULTS Of 311 patients with pelvic fracture, 32 hemodynamically unstable patients (10.3%) underwent pelvic angiography, which was followed by embolization in 25 cases. Angiography was successful for 24 patients (96%) and extrapelvic bleeding was diagnosed in 5 patients (15%). Three of six laparotomies performed before angiography were nontherapeutic. One of seven laparotomies performed after angiography was negative. CONCLUSION A protocol for management of patients with pelvic injury and hemodynamic instability that is associated with controlled resuscitation including vasopressor and early pelvic angioembolization is effective for treating pelvic hemorrhage and diagnosing extrapelvic hemorrhage. Further studies are needed to confirm the respective place of angiographic and surgical control of bleeding.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently accompanied by a systemic inflammatory response secondary to multiple trauma, shock, or infections. This study investigated the impact of sustained systemic inflammation on cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism in ovine traumatic brain injury. Fifteen sheep were investigated for 14 hours. Head injury was induced with a nonpenetrating stunner in anesthetized, ventilated animals. One group (TBI/Endo, n = 6) subsequently received a continuous endotoxin infusion for 12 hours, whereas a second group (TBI, n = 6) received the carrier. Three instrumented animals served as sham controls. Head impact significantly increased intracranial pressure from 9 +/- 4 mm Hg to 21 +/- 15 mm Hg (TBI/Endo) and from 10 +/- 3 mm Hg to 24 +/- 19 mm Hg (TBI) (means +/- SD). Internal carotid blood flow increased and cerebral vascular resistance decreased (P < 0.05) during the hyperdynamic inflammatory response between 10 and 14 hours in the TBI/Endo group, whereas these parameters were at baseline level in the TBI group. Intracranial pressure remained unchanged during this period, but increased during hypercapnia. The CMRO2, PaCO2, and arterial hematocrit values were identical among the groups between 10 and 14 hours. It is concluded that chronic endotoxemia in ovine traumatic brain injury was associated with cerebral vasodilation uncoupled from global brain metabolism. Different mechanisms appear to induce cerebral vasodilation in response to inflammation and hypercapnia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inducible heat shock protein 72 (HSP 72) preserves myocardial function and prevents apoptosis. We investigated the expression and localization of HSP 72 and apoptosis in our previously described new model of multiple organ failure. DESIGN Eighteen adult-instrumented sheep and three healthy controls were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (a) norfenefrine-masked hypovolemia plus endotoxemia (NMH+ENDO); (b) norfenefrine-masked hypovolemia without endotoxemia (NMH); (c) recurrent endotoxemia during normovolemia (ENDO); and (d) normovolemia without endotoxemia (CONTROLS). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Hearts were analyzed by light microscopy, Western blots, immunohistochemistry, and TUNEL staining. HSP 72 expression was approximately threefold increased in NMH+ENDO compared with the other groups ( p<0.05) and was localized mainly in left ventricular cardiomyocytes. HSP 72 was elevated in animals with norfenefrine-refractory shock compared to survivors ( p=0.015). TUNEL-positive cells in the left ventricle were significantly elevated in the NMH+ENDO group ( p=0.05) and correlated with HSP 72 expression (r=0.51, p=0.018). HSP 72 correlated positively with heart rate (r=0.76, p<0.0001), the prefinal hourly dose of norfenefrine (r=0.88, p<0.0001), and negatively with left ventricular stroke work index (r=-0.52, p=0.028). Double staining revealed TUNEL-positive cells with and without HSP 72 expression. Micronecroses were only detectable in NMH and NMH+ENDO without intergroup difference or correlations with hemodynamics. CONCLUSION HSP 72 overexpression and apoptosis, but not necrosis, indicate cardiovascular decompensation and poor outcome during early multiple organ failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adequate restoration of intravascular volume remains an important maneuver in the management of the surgical patient. Influence of different volume replacement regimens on inflammation/endothelial activation in elderly surgical patients was assessed. DESIGN Prospective, randomized study. SETTING Surgical intensive care unit of a university-affiliated hospital. PATIENTS Sixty-six patients >65 years undergoing major abdominal surgery. INTERVENTIONS Ringer's lactate (RL; n=22), normal saline solution (NS; n=22) or a low-molecular HES (mean molecular weight 130 kD) with a low degree of substitution (0.4; HES 130/0.4; n=22) were administered after induction of anesthesia until the 1st postoperative day (POD) to keep central venous pressure between 8-12 mmHg. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS C-reactive protein, interleukins (IL-6, IL-8), adhesion molecules [endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)] were measured prior to volume therapy at the end of surgery, 5 h after surgery and at the morning of the 1st POD. RL patients received 10,150+/-1,660 ml of RL, NS patients 10,220+/-1,770 ml of NS and the HES-treated group 2,850+/-300 ml of HES 130/0.4 and 2,810+/-350 ml of RL. Hemodynamics were similar in all groups. CRP, IL-6 and IL-8 plasma levels increased significantly higher in both crystalloid groups (IL-6 in the NS group: increase to 407+/-33 pg/ml; RL: increase to 377+/-35 pg/dl) than in the HES-130 treated group (IL-6: increase to 197+/-20 pg/dl). Plasma levels of ELAM-1 and ICAM remained almost unchanged in the HES 130-, but significantly increased in the RL- and NS-treated patients. CONCLUSIONS In elderly patients, markers of inflammation and endothelial injury and activation were significantly higher after crystalloid- than after HES 130/0.4-based volume replacement regimens.
