Abstract
INTRODUCTION While intravenous fluid therapy is essential to re-establishing volume status in children who have experienced trauma, aggressive resuscitation can lead to various complications. There remains a lack of consensus on whether pediatric trauma patients will benefit from a liberal or restrictive crystalloid resuscitation approach and how to optimally identify and transition between fluid phases. METHODS A panel was comprised of physicians with expertise in pediatric trauma, critical care, and emergency medicine. A three-round Delphi process was conducted via an online survey, with each round being followed by a live video conference. Experts agreed or disagreed with each aspect of the proposed fluid management algorithm on a five-level Likert scale. The group opinion level defined an algorithm parameter's acceptance or rejection with greater than 75% agreement resulting in acceptance and greater than 50% disagreement resulting in rejection. The remaining were discussed and re-presented in the next round. RESULTS Fourteen experts from five Level 1 pediatric trauma centers representing three subspecialties were included. Responses were received from 13/14 participants (93%). In round 1, 64% of the parameters were accepted, while the remaining 36% were discussed and re-presented. In round 2, 90% of the parameters were accepted. Following round 3, there was 100% acceptance by all the experts on the revised and final version of the algorithm. CONCLUSIONS We present a validated algorithm for intavenous fluid management in pediatric trauma patients that focuses on the de-escalation of fluids. Focusing on this time point of fluid therapy will help minimize iatrogenic complications of crystalloid fluids within this patient population.

Pilot randomized controlled trial of restricted versus liberal crystalloid fluid management in pediatric post-operative and trauma patients. Pilot Feasibility Stud 2023; 9:185. [PMID: 37941073 PMCID: PMC10631167 DOI: 10.1186/s40814-023-01408-w] [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: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy is essential in the treatment of critically ill pediatric surgery and trauma patients. Recent studies have suggested that aggressive fluids may be detrimental to patients. Prospective studies are needed to compare liberal to restricted fluid management in these patients. The primary objective of this pilot trial is to test study feasibility-recruitment and adherence to the study treatment algorithm. METHODS We conducted a two-part pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing liberal to restricted crystalloid fluid management in 50 pediatric post-operative (1-18 years) and trauma (1-15 years) patients admitted to our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Patients were randomized to a high (liberal) volume or low (restricted) volume algorithm using unblinded, blocked randomization. A revised treatment algorithm was used after the 29th patient for the second part of the RCT. The goal of the trial was to determine the feasibility of conducting an RCT at a single site for recruitment and retention. We also collected data on the safety of study interventions and clinical outcomes, including pulmonary, infectious, renal, post-operative, and length of stay outcomes. RESULTS Fifty patients were randomized to either liberal (n = 26) or restricted (n = 24) fluid management strategy. After data was obtained on 29 patients, a first study analysis was performed. The volume of fluid administered and triggers for intervention were adapted to optimize the treatment effect and clarity of outcomes. Updated and refined fluid management algorithms were created. These were used for the second part of the RCT on patients 30-50. During this second study period, 54% (21/39, 95% CI 37-70%) of patients approached were enrolled in the study. Of the patients enrolled, 71% (15/21, 95% CI 48-89%) completed the study. This met our a priori recruitment and retention criteria for success. A data safety monitoring committee concluded that no adverse events were related to study interventions. Although the study was not powered to detect differences in outcomes, after the algorithm was revised, we observed a non-significant trend towards improved pulmonary outcomes in patients on the restricted arm, including decreased need for and time on oxygen support and decreased need for mechanical ventilation. CONCLUSION We demonstrated the feasibility and safety of conducting a single-site RCT comparing liberal to restricted crystalloid fluid management in critically ill pediatric post-operative and trauma patients. We observed trends in improved pulmonary outcomes in patients undergoing restricted fluid management. A definitive multicenter RCT comparing fluid management strategies in these patients is warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04201704 .

Decay-Accelerating Factor Creates an Organ-Protective Phenotype after Hemorrhage in Conscious Rats. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232113563. [PMID: 36362350 PMCID: PMC9655774 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232113563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that traumatic hemorrhage (TH) induces early complement cascade activation, leading to inflammation-associated multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Several previous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of complement inhibition in anesthetized (unconscious) animal models of hemorrhage. Anesthetic agents profoundly affect the immune response, microcirculation response, and coagulation patterns and thereby may confound the TH research data acquired. However, no studies have addressed the effect of complement inhibition on inflammation-driven MODS in a conscious model of hemorrhage. This study investigated whether early administration of decay-accelerating factor (CD55/DAF, a complement C3/C5 inhibitor) alleviates hemorrhage-induced organ damage and how DAF modulates hemorrhage-induced organ damage. DAF was administered to unanesthetized male Sprague Dawley rats subjected to pressure-controlled hemorrhage followed by a prolonged (4 h) hypotensive resuscitation with or without lactated Ringer’s (LR). We assessed DAF effects on organ protection, tissue levels of complement synthesis and activation, T lymphocyte infiltration, fluid resuscitation requirements, and metabolic acidosis. Hemorrhage with (HR) or without (H) LR resuscitation resulted in significantly increased C3, C5a, and C5b-9 deposition in the lung and intestinal tissues. HR rats had significantly higher tissue levels of complement activation/deposition (particularly C5a and C5b-9 in the lung tissues), a higher but not significant amount of C3 and C5b-9 pulmonary microvascular deposition, and relatively severe injury in the lung and intestinal tissues compared to H rats. DAF treatment significantly reduced tissue C5b-9 formation and C3 deposition in the H or HR rats and decreased tissue levels of C5a and C3 mRNA in the HR rats. This treatment prevented the injury of these organs, improved metabolic acidosis, reduced fluid resuscitation requirements, and decreased T-cell infiltration in lung tissues. These findings suggest that DAF has the potential as an organ-protective adjuvant treatment for TH during prolonged damage control resuscitation.

Abstract
Trauma is the leading cause of death in young people with a considerable socio-economic impact worldwide. A trimodal distribution of trauma mortality was described in the past, but recently different studies underlined a progressive change in trauma mortality distribution linked to improvement in trauma care. This study aimed to analyze the mortality trends in a Level-One Trauma Center in Italy. Data on 6065 patients consecutively admitted to the Trauma Center between 2011 and 2020 were selected and retrospectively analyzed. Causes of Death (CODs) and time of death were stratified in four main groups and the patient sample was further divided into five age groups. Multivariate regression models were then performed to identify independent predictors of mortality. The most common COD in all age groups was Central Nervous System injuries. Immediate deaths (in ED) affected mostly patients over 75 years of age (34.3%). Deaths caused by massive hemorrhage occurred soon upon arrival in the ED, whereas deaths due to other causes (e.g. sepsis, MOF) after the first week. Patients' characteristics, the need for emergency procedures and high trauma severity scores were independent predictors of deaths. This study represented the first analysis on trauma mortality distribution in Italy over a nine-year period. The trimodal distribution described in the past seems to be no longer present in Italy, due to improvements in trauma systems and critical care. However, the high number of immediate and acute deaths underlies a persisting need for efforts in injury prevention and control .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock (HS) can develop into multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, among which acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) usually lead to poor outcomes. The underlying molecular mechanisms of HS-induced ALI/ARDS remain unclear. This study sought to investigate gene expression profiles and predict competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks in an HS-induced ALI/ARDS preclinical model. METHODS Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to a fixed volume of hemorrhage (HS, 40% estimated total blood volume) or not (sham) randomly. After 8 hours of observation, left lung tissue was harvested to evaluate lung injury. Right lung was collected for RNA sequencing. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were performed and the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)/circular RNA (circRNA)-microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) linkages were predicted using the ceRNA theory. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to validate the RNA sequencing findings. RESULTS Hemorrhagic shock lungs showed noticeable ALI/ARDS features, and 437 mRNAs, 31 miRNAs, 734 lncRNAs, and 29 circRNAs were differentially expressed. In Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses, the differentially expressed transcripts were enriched in the following terms: the metabolic pathways, signal transduction pathways, necroptosis, DNA damage recognition and repair, inflammatory cell migration and chemotaxis, the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway, and so on. Also, this study identified lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA linkages with 12 lncRNAs, 5 miRNAs, 15 mRNAs, and circRNA-miRNA-mRNA linkages with 10 circRNAs, 16 miRNAs, 39 mRNAs. These networks might play important regulatory roles. CONCLUSION This is the first high-throughput analysis of gene expression profiles in HS-induced ALI/ARDS. It shows that metabolism, cell signaling, DNA damage and repair, and necroptosis-related RNAs altered, and inflammatory response-associated RNAs and pathways have pivotal roles in HS-induced ALI/ARDS progression. It also prompts some important RNAs and regulatory networks for future research. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Basic science article.

Abstract
Background The nature of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) after traumatic injury is evolving as resuscitation practices advance and more patients survive their injuries to reach critical care. The aim of this study was to characterize contemporary MODS subtypes in trauma critical care at a population level. Methods Adult patients admitted to major trauma centre critical care units were enrolled in this 4‐week point‐prevalence study. MODS was defined by a daily total Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of more than 5. Hierarchical clustering of SOFA scores over time was used to identify MODS subtypes. Results Some 440 patients were enrolled, of whom 245 (55·7 per cent) developed MODS. MODS carried a high mortality rate (22·0 per cent versus 0·5 per cent in those without MODS; P < 0·001) and 24·0 per cent of deaths occurred within the first 48 h after injury. Three patterns of MODS were identified, all present on admission. Cluster 1 MODS resolved early with a median time to recovery of 4 days and a mortality rate of 14·4 per cent. Cluster 2 had a delayed recovery (median 13 days) and a mortality rate of 35 per cent. Cluster 3 had a prolonged recovery (median 25 days) and high associated mortality rate of 46 per cent. Multivariable analysis revealed distinct clinical associations for each form of MODS; 24‐hour crystalloid administration was associated strongly with cluster 1 (P = 0·009), traumatic brain injury with cluster 2 (P = 0·002) and admission shock severity with cluster 3 (P = 0·003). Conclusion Contemporary MODS has at least three distinct types based on patterns of severity and recovery. Further characterization of MODS subtypes and their underlying pathophysiology may lead to future opportunities for early stratification and targeted interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and differentiation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in hemorrhagic shock mice, which are resuscitated with normal saline (NS), hypertonic saline (HTS), and hydroxyethyl starch (HES). METHODS BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control, NS, HTS, and HES resuscitation groups. Three subgroups (n=8) in each resuscitation group were marked as 2, 24, and 72 h. Flow cytometry was used to detect the MDSCs, monocytic MDSCs (M-MDSCs), and granulocytic/neutrophilic MDSCs (G-MDSCs) in peripheral blood nucleated cells (PBNCs), spleen single-cell suspension, and bone marrow nucleated cells (BMNCs). RESULTS The MDSCs in BMNCs among three resuscitation groups were lower 2 h after shock, in PBNCs of the HTS group were higher, and in spleen of the NS group were lower (all P<0.05 vs. control). The M-MDSC/G-MDSC ratios in PBNCs of the HTS and HES groups were lower (both P<0.05 vs. control). At 24 h, the MDSCs in PBNCs of the NS and HTS groups were higher, while the spleen MDSCs in the HTS group were higher (all P<0.05 vs. control). The M-MDSC/G-MDSC ratios were all less in PBNCs, spleen, and BMNCs of the NS and HTS groups, and were lower in BMNCs of the HES group (all P<0.05 vs. control). At 72 h, the elevated MDSCs in PBNCs were presented in the HTS and HES groups, and in spleen the augment turned up in three resuscitation groups (all P<0.05 vs. control). The inclined ratios to M-MDSC were exhibited in spleen of the NS and HTS groups, and in PBNCs of the NS group; the inclination to G-MDSC in BMNCs was shown in the HES group (all P<0.05 vs. control). CONCLUSIONS HTS induces the earlier elevation of MDSCs in peripheral blood and spleen, and influences its distribution and differentiation, while HES has a less effect on the distribution but a stronger impact on the differentiation of MDSCs, especially in bone marrow.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implications from the pragmatic, randomize, optimal platelet and plasma ratios (PROPPR) trial are critical for remote damage control resuscitation (DCR). Utilizing DCR principals in remote settings can combat early mortality from hemorrhage. Identifying the appropriate transfusion strategy is mandatory prior to adopting prehospital hemostatic resuscitation strategies. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The PROPPR study was examined in relation to the following questions: 1) Why is it important to have blood products in the prehospital setting?; 2) Which products should be investigated for prehospital hemostatic resuscitation?; 3) What is the appropriate ratio of blood product transfusion?; and 4) What are the appropriate indications for hemostatic resuscitation? RESULTS PROPPR demonstrates that early and balanced blood product transfusion ratios reduced mortality in all patients at 3 hours and death from exsanguination at 24 hours (p = 0.03). The median time to death from exsanguination was 2.3 hours, highlighting the need for point-of-injury DCR capabilities. A 1:1:1 transfusion ratio of plasma:platelets:packed red blood cells increased the percentage of patients achieving anatomic hemostasis (p = 0.006). PROPPR used the assessment of blood consumption score to identify patients likely to require ongoing hemostatic resuscitation. The critical administration threshold predicted patient mortality and identified patients likely to require ongoing hemostatic resuscitation. CONCLUSION A balanced resuscitation strategy demonstrates an early survival benefit, decreased death from exsanguination at 24 hours and a greater likelihood of achieving hemostasis in critically injured patients receiving a 1:1:1 ratio of plasma:platelets:PRBCs. This finding highlights the need to import DCR principals to remote locations.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been associated with an increased risk of death and morbidity in many clinical scenarios. The prevention and treatment of AKI therefore has been advocated as a high-priority research focus. However, nearly all strategies tested in this setting have failed to prevent or cure AKI and fluid loading remains a cornerstone of preventive and curative treatment of AKI. Concerns have been raised, however, regarding both the efficacy and safety of fluid loading to prevent or reverse AKI. In this review, we address the question of the best use of fluid loading based on current preclinical and clinical data in a mechanistically guided approach. Impacts of fluid resuscitation on renal hemodynamics, from macrocirculation to microcirculation, with physiological end points as well as renal consequences of different fluids available are discussed. Finally, the complex relationship between renal hemodynamics is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged storage of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) induces a series of harmful biochemical and metabolic changes known as the RBC storage lesion. RBCs are currently stored in an acidic storage solution, but the effect of pH on the RBC storage lesion is unknown. We investigated the effect of modulation of storage pH on the RBC storage lesion and on erythrocyte survival after transfusion. METHODS Murine pRBCs were stored in Additive Solution-3 (AS3) under standard conditions (pH, 5.8), acidic AS3 (pH, 4.5), or alkalinized AS3 (pH, 8.5). pRBC units were analyzed at the end of the storage period. Several components of the storage lesion were measured, including cell-free hemoglobin, microparticle production, phosphatidylserine externalization, lactate accumulation, and byproducts of lipid peroxidation. Carboxyfluorescein-labeled erythrocytes were transfused into healthy mice to determine cell survival. RESULTS Compared with pRBCs stored in standard AS3, those stored in alkaline solution exhibited decreased hemolysis, phosphatidylserine externalization, microparticle production, and lipid peroxidation. Lactate levels were greater after storage in alkaline conditions, suggesting that these pRBCs remained more metabolically viable. Storage in acidic AS3 accelerated erythrocyte deterioration. Compared with standard AS3 storage, circulating half-life of cells was increased by alkaline storage but decreased in acidic conditions. CONCLUSIONS Storage pH significantly affects the quality of stored RBCs and cell survival after transfusion. Current erythrocyte storage solutions may benefit from refinements in pH levels.

Abstract
The use of 1:1:1 (packed red blood cells: fresh frozen plasma: platelets) transfusion ratio has been shown to improve survival in severely injured trauma patients. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) receiving 1:1:1 ratio-based blood product transfusion (RBT). We hypothesized that RBT improves survival in patients with TBI as only major injury. We performed a 3-year retrospective analysis of all patients with TBI as only major injury presenting to our Level I trauma center. Patients receiving blood transfusion were included. Patients were stratified into two groups: those who received RBT and those who did not receive RBT (No-RBT). The outcome measure was inhospital mortality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. A total of 189 patients were included of which 29 per cent (n = 55) received RBT. The mean age was 48 ± 24 years, median (range) Glasgow Coma Scale score was 12 (3–15), and median head abbreviated injury severity scale was 3 (3–5). The overall mortality rate was 28.5 per cent. Patients in the RBT group had a higher survival rate compared with the patients in the No-RBT group (83.6% vs 66.5%, P = 0.02). In conclusion, the survival benefit of RBT exists even in patients with TBI as major injury. Guidelines for the initial management of TBI patients should focus on the use of RBT. The beneficial effect of platelets in RBT among TBI patients requires further evaluation.

Abstract
Trauma accounts for a significant portion of overall mortality globally. Hemorrhage is the second major cause of mortality in the prehospital environment. Air medical retrieval services throughout the world have been developed to help improve the outcomes of patients suffering from a broad range of medical conditions, including trauma. These services often utilize intraosseous (IO) devices as an alternative means for access of both medically ill and traumatically injured patients in austere environments. However, studies have suggested that IO access cannot reach acceptable rates for massive transfusion. We review the subject to find the answer of whether IO access should be performed by air medical teams in the prehospital setting, or would central venous (CVC) access be more appropriate? We decided to assess the literature for capacity of IO access to meet resuscitation requirements in the prehospital management of trauma. We also decided to compare the insertion and complication characteristics of IO and CVC access.

Abstract
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and nosocomial infection following trauma-hemorrhage are among the most important causes of mortality in hemorrhagic shock patients. Dysregulation of the immune system plays a central role in MODS and a fluid having an immunomodulatory effect could be advantageous in hemorrhagic shock resuscitation. Hypertonic saline (HS) is widely used as a resuscitation fluid in trauma-hemorrhagic patients. Besides having beneficial effects on the hemodynamic parameters, HS has modulatory effects on various functions of immune cells such as degranulation, adhesion molecules and cytokines expression, as well as reactive oxygen species production. This article reviews clinical evidence for decreased organ failure and mortality in hemorrhagic shock patients resuscitated with HS. Despite promising results in animal models, results from pre-hospital and emergency department administration in human studies did not show improvement in survival, organ failure, or a reduction in nosocomial infection by HS resuscitation. Further post hoc analysis showed some benefit from HS resuscitation for severely-injured patients, those who received more than ten units of blood by transfusion, patients who underwent surgery, and victims of traumatic brain injury. Several reasons are suggested to explain the differences between clinical and animal models.

Comparison of normal saline, hypertonic saline albumin and terlipressin plus hypertonic saline albumin in an infant animal model of hypovolemic shock. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0121678.

Abstract
Introduction In series of cases and animal models suffering hemorrhagic shock, the use of vasopressors has shown potential benefits regarding hemodynamics and tissue perfusion. Terlipressin is an analogue of vasopressin with a longer half-life that can be administered by bolus injection. We have previously observed that hypertonic albumin improves resuscitation following controlled hemorrhage in piglets. The aim of the present study was to analyze whether the treatment with the combination of terlipressin and hypertonic albumin can produce better hemodynamic and tissular perfusion parameters than normal saline or hypertonic albumin alone at early stages of hemorrhagic shock in an infant animal model. Methods Experimental, randomized animal study including 39 2-to-3-month-old piglets. Thirty minutes after controlled 30 ml/kg bleed, pigs were randomized to receive either normal saline (NS) 30 ml/kg (n = 13), 5% albumin plus 3% hypertonic saline (AHS) 15 ml/kg (n = 13) or single bolus of terlipressin 15 μg/kg i.v. plus 5% albumin plus 3% hypertonic saline 15 ml/kg (TAHS) (n = 13) over 30 minutes. Global hemodynamic and tissular perfusion parameters were compared. Results After controlled bleed a significant decrease of blood pressure, cardiac index, central venous saturation, carotid and peripheral blood flow, brain saturation and an increase of heart rate, gastric PCO2 and lactate was observed. After treatment no significant differences in most hemodynamic (cardiac index, mean arterial pressure) and perfusion parameters (lactate, gastric PCO2, brain saturation, cutaneous blood flow) were observed between the three therapeutic groups. AHS and TAHS produced higher increase in stroke volume index and carotid blood flow than NS. Conclusions In this pediatric animal model of hypovolemic shock, albumin plus hypertonic saline with or without terlipressin achieved similar hemodynamics and perfusion parameters than twice the volume of NS. Addition of terlipressin did not produce better results than AHS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhage is the leading cause of survivable death in trauma and resuscitation strategies including early RBC transfusion have reduced this. Pre-trauma center (PTC) RBC transfusion is growing and preliminary evidence suggests improved outcomes. The study objective was to evaluate the association of PTC RBC transfusion with outcomes in air medical trauma patients. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a retrospective cohort study of trauma patients transported by helicopter to a Level I trauma center from 2007 to 2012. Patients receiving PTC RBC transfusion were matched to control patients (receiving no PTC RBC transfusion during transport) in a 1:2 ratio using a propensity score based on prehospital variables. Conditional logistic regression and mixed-effects linear regression were used to determine the association of PTC RBC transfusion with outcomes. Subgroup analysis was performed for scene transport patients. RESULTS Two-hundred and forty treatment patients were matched to 480 control patients receiving no PTC RBC transfusion. Pre-trauma center RBC transfusion was associated with increased odds of 24-hour survival (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.92; 95% CI, 1.51-16.04; p = 0.01), lower odds of shock (AOR = 0.28; 95% CI, 0.09-0.85; p = 0.03), and lower 24-hour RBC requirement (Coefficient -3.6 RBC units; 95% CI, -7.0 to -0.2; p = 0.04). Among matched scene patients, PTC RBC was also associated with increased odds of 24-hour survival (AOR = 6.31; 95% CI, 1.88-21.14; p < 0.01), lower odds of shock (AOR = 0.24; 95% CI, 0.07-0.80; p = 0.02), and lower 24-hour RBC requirement (Coefficient -4.5 RBC units; 95% CI, -8.3 to -0.7; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Pre-trauma center RBC was associated with an increased probability of 24-hour survival, decreased risk of shock, and lower 24-hour RBC requirement. Pre-trauma center RBC appears beneficial in severely injured air medical trauma patients and prospective study is warranted as PTC RBC transfusion becomes more readily available.

Abstract
Since the early 1960's "resuscitation" following major trauma involved use of replacement crystalloid fluid/estimated blood loss in volumes of 3/1, in the ambulance, emergency room, operating room and surgical intensive care unit. During the past 20 years, MAJOR paradigm shifts have occurred in this concept. As a result hypotensive resuscitation with a view towards restriction of crystalloid, and prevention of complications has occurred. Improved results in both civilian and military environments have been reported. As a result there is new focus on trauma surgical involvement in all aspects of trauma patient management, focus on early aggressive surgical approaches (which may or may not involve an operation), and movement from crystalloid to blood, plasma, and platelet replacement therapy.

Abstract
Although 0.9% NaCl solution is by far the most-used fluid for fluid therapy in resuscitation, it is difficult to find a paper advocating its use over other types of crystalloid solutions. Literature on the deleterious effects of 0.9% NaCl has accumulated over the last decade, but critical appraisal of alternative crystalloid solutions is lacking. As such, the literature seems to suggest that 0.9% NaCl should be avoided at all costs, whereas alternative crystalloid solutions can be used without scrutiny. The basis of this negative evaluation of 0.9% NaCl is almost exclusively its effect on acid-base homeostasis, whereas the potentially deleterious effects present in other types of crystalloids are neglected. We have the challenging task of defending the use of 0.9% NaCl and reviewing its positive attributes, while an accompanying paper will argue against the use of 0.9% NaCl. It is challenging because of the large amount of literature, including our own, showing adverse effects of 0.9% NaCl. We will discuss why 0.9% NaCl solution is the most frequently used resuscitation fluid. Although it has some deleterious effects, all fluids share common features of concern. As such the emphasis on fluid resuscitation should be on volume rather than on composition and should be accompanied by a physiological assessment of the impact of fluids. In this paper, we hope to discuss the context within which fluids, specifically 0.9% NaCl, can be given in a safe and effective manner.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study is to compare the effect of lactated ringer (LR), vasopressin (Vaso) or terlipressin (Terli) on uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS) in rats. Methods 48 rats were divided into four treatment groups for UHS study. Vaso group was given bolus vasopressin (0.8 U/kg); the Terli group was given bolus terlipressin (15 mcg/kg); LR group was given LR and the sham group was not given anything. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), serum lactate level, plasma cytokine levels, lung injury and mortality are investigated for these different treatment groups. Results Compared with LR group, vasopressin and terlipressin-treated groups were associated with higher MAP, lowered mortality rates, less lung injury, lowered serum lactate level, less proinflammatory and more anti-inflammatory cytokine production at certain time points. Comparing between vasopressin and terlipressin treated groups, there is no statistical difference in mortality rates, lung injury, serum lactate level and cytokine level. However, there is a difference in the length of time in maintaining a restored level of MAP (80 to 110 mmHg). The terlipressin treated rats can maintain this restored level of MAP for 45 minutes, but the vasopressin treated rats can only maintain this restored level of MAP for 5 minutes before decreasing gradually to the MAP observed in LR group (40 mmHg). Conclusion Early optimization of hemodynamics with terlipressin or vasopressin in an animal model of UHS was associated with improved hemodynamics and inflammatory cytokine profile than the LR control. Compared with vasopressin, terlipressin has the advantage of ease of use and sustained effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-volume ascorbic acid-buffered reconstituted lyophilized plasma (LP) provides logistic advantages, reduces the risks for large-volume resuscitation, modulates inflammation, and is equally effective for hemostatic resuscitation as full-volume LP. We compared the physiologic effects of resuscitation using LP reconstituted with sterile water (LP-SW), lactated Ringer's solution (LP-LR), normal saline (LP-NS), and Hextend (LP-Hx). METHODS Plasma was collected from swine, lyophilized, and then reconstituted into four test solutions: LP-SW, LP-LR, LP-NS, or LP-Hx. Forty swine were anesthetized and subjected to a validated model of polytrauma and hemorrhagic shock (including a Grade V liver injury), then randomized to receive one of the four test solutions. Physiologic parameters, blood loss, lactate, and hematocrit were followed up. Coagulation status was evaluated using thrombelastography. Inflammatory mediator expression was evaluated by multiplex serum assay. RESULTS Forty animals were included in the study (10 animals per group). One animal died following LP-Hx resuscitation. There was less blood loss in the LP-SW and LP-LR groups compared with the LP-NS and LP-Hx groups (p < 0.05). The LP-SW group exhibited less early coagulopathic changes by thrombelastography, and the LP-Hx group had persistently elevated international normalized ratios at the end of the study period (p < 0.05). Serum interleukin 6 was lower after 4 hours in the LP-SW group compared with LP-NS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Resuscitation using low-volume LP-SW and LP-LR buffered with ascorbic acid confers an anti-inflammatory benefit and results in less blood loss. Sterile water is a safe, cost-effective, and universally available fluid for creating a low-volume hemostatic LP resuscitation solution.

Abstract
Hydrogen is considered to be a novel antioxidant as it inhibits inflammation, removes oxygen-derived free radicals and reduces oxidative damage. This study investigated the effects of hydrogen-rich saline on plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rats with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS). The UHS model was induced by arterial bleeding and tail amputation. The rats were randomly divided into: Group A (sham-operated group), Group B [shock + intravenously (IV) injected saline], Group C (shock + IV-injected hydrogen-rich saline), Group D [shock + intraperitoneally (IP) injected saline] and Group E (shock + IP-injected hydrogen-rich saline). The survival rate 24 h after successful resuscitation was calculated. The mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded at 0, 30, 90 and 210 min. The plasma levels of IL-6, TNF-α, SOD and MDA were measured at 0, 90 and 210 min. The survival rate of each group was 100% and the hemodynamics among the experimental groups were not significantly different. At 90 and 210 min, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA in Groups C and E were lower than those of Groups B and D, while the SOD levels were higher than those of Groups B and D (P<0.01). At 90 min, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and MDA in Groups B and C were lower than those of Groups D and E, respectively (P<0.01). Hydrogen-rich saline has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects in UHS. In conclusion, the results showed that itravenous injection of hydrogen-rich saline is more effective than intraperitonal injection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Damage-control resuscitation is the prevailing trauma resuscitation technique that emphasizes early and aggressive transfusion with balanced ratios of red blood cells (RBCs), plasma (FFP), and platelets (Plt) while minimizing crystalloid resuscitation, which is a departure from Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines. It is unclear whether the newer approach is superior to the approach recommended by ATLS. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES With these recent changes pervading resuscitation protocols, we performed a systematic review to determine if the shift in trauma resuscitation from ATLS guidelines to damage control resuscitation has improved mortality in patients with penetrating injuries. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and the Current Controlled Trials Register was performed for studies comparing mortality in massively transfused penetrating trauma patients receiving either balanced ratios of blood transfusion per damage control resuscitation tenets or undergoing an alternate blood volume resuscitation strategy. Studies were deemed appropriate for inclusion if they had a Newcastle-Ottawa Scale score of 6 or greater as well as at least 30% penetrating trauma. Twenty studies that reported on a total of 12,154 patients were included. RESULTS Transfusion ratios varied widely, with 1:1 and 1:2 ratios of FFP:RBC most often defined as high ratios for purposes of comparison with other low ratio groups. Fourteen of 20 studies found significantly lower 30-day mortality when higher transfusion ratios of FFP, RBC, and/or Plt were used; six of 20 studies found mortality to be similar between higher and lower transfusion ratios. CONCLUSIONS Patients with penetrating injuries who require massive transfusion should be transfused early using balanced ratios of RBC, FFP, and Plt. Randomized, controlled trials are needed to determine optimal ratios for transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After major traumatic injury, patients often require multiple transfusions of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to correct coagulopathy and to reduce bleeding. A spray-dried plasma (SDP) product has several logistical benefits over FFP use in trauma patients with coagulopathy. These benefits include ease of transport, stability at room temperature, and rapid reconstitution for infusion. Our past work suggests that FFP promotes endothelial stability by inhibiting endothelial permeability. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The main goal of this project is to determine if solvent-detergent-treated SDP is equivalent to FFP in inhibiting vascular endothelial cell (EC) permeability and inflammation in vitro. Furthermore, this study aimed to determine if solvent-detergent treatment and spray drying of plasma alters the protective effects of FFP on EC function. The five groups tested in our studies are the following: 1) fresh frozen-thawed plasma (FFP); 2) solvent-detergent-treated FFP; 3) solvent-detergent-treated SDP; 4) lactated Ringer's solution; and 5) Hextend. RESULTS This study demonstrates that in vitro SDP and FFP equivalently inhibit vascular EC permeability, EC adherens junction breakdown, and endothelial white blood cell binding, an effect that is independent of changes in Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1, Intracellular Adhesion Molecule 1, or E-selectin expression on ECs. Solvent-detergent treatment of FFP does not alter the protective effects of FFP on endothelial cell function in vitro. CONCLUSION These data suggest the equivalence of FFP and SDP on modulation of endothelial function and inflammation in vitro.

Abstract
We have previously shown that a short course of high-dose tacrolimus induces long-term tolerance to fully mismatched lung allografts procured from healthy MHC-inbred miniature swine. Here, we investigate whether donor brain death affects tolerance induction. Four recipient swine were transplanted with fully mismatched lung grafts from donors that were rendered brain dead and mechanically ventilated for 4 h before procurement (Group 1). These recipients were compared to two control groups (Group 2: 4 h of donor ventilation without brain death [n = 5]; and Group 3: no donor brain death with <1 h of ventilation [n = 6]). All recipients were treated with a 12-day course of tacrolimus. In contrast to both groups of control animals, the swine transplanted with lung allografts from brain dead donors all rejected their grafts by postoperative day 45 and showed persistent responsiveness to donor antigen by MLR. Several additional swine underwent brain death induction and/or mechanical ventilation alone to determine the effects of these procedures on the expression of proinflammatory molecules. Significant increases in serum concentrations of IL-1, TNF-α and IL-10 were seen after brain death. Upregulation of IL-1 and IL-6 gene expression was also observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define systemic release kinetics of a panel of cytokines and heat shock proteins in porcine polytrauma/hemorrhage models and to evaluate whether they could be useful as early trauma biomarkers. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Research laboratory. SUBJECTS Twenty-one Yorkshire pigs. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Pigs underwent polytrauma (femur fractures/lung contusion, P), hemorrhage (mean arterial pressure 25-30 mm Hg, H), polytrauma plus hemorrhage (P/H), or sham procedure (S). Plasma was obtained at baseline, in 5- to 15-min intervals during a 60-min shock period without intervention, and in 60- to 120-min intervals during fluid resuscitation for up to 300 min. Plasma was assayed for interleukin-1β, interleukin-4, interleukin-5, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, interleukin-10, interleukin-12/interleukin-23p40, interleukin-13, interleukin-17, interleukin-18, interferonγ, transforming growth factor-β, tumor necrosis factor-α, heat shock protein 40, heat shock protein 70, and heat shock protein 90 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All animals after S, P, and H survived (n = 5/group). Three of six animals after P/H died. Interleukin-10 increased during shock after P and this increase was attenuated after H. Tumor necrosis factor-α increased during the shock period after P, H, and also after S. P/H abolished the systemic interleukin-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α release and resulted in 20% to 30% increased levels of interleukin-6 during shock. As fluid resuscitation was initiated, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-10 levels decreased after P, H, and P/H; heat shock protein 70 increased after P; and interleukin-6 levels remained elevated after P/H and also increased after P and S. CONCLUSIONS Differential regulation of the systemic cytokine release after polytrauma and/or hemorrhage, in combination with the effects of resuscitation, can explain the variability and inconsistent association of systemic cytokine/heat shock protein levels with clinical variables in trauma patients. Insults of major severity (P/H) partially suppress the systemic inflammatory response. The plasma concentrations of the measured cytokines/heat shock proteins do not reflect injury severity or physiological changes in porcine trauma models and are unlikely to be able to serve as useful trauma biomarkers in patients.

Abstract
Injury mortality was classically described with a trimodal distribution, with immediate deaths at the scene, early deaths due to hemorrhage, and late deaths from organ failure. We hypothesized that the development of trauma systems has improved prehospital care, early resuscitation, and critical care and altered this pattern. This population-based study of all trauma deaths in an urban county with a mature trauma system reviewed data for 678 patients (median age, 33 years; 81% male; 43% gunshot, 20% motor vehicle crashes). Deaths were classified as immediate (scene), early (in hospital, ≤4 hours from injury), or late (>4 hours after injury). Multinomial regression was used to identify independent predictors of immediate and early versus late deaths, adjusted for age, gender, race, intention, mechanism, toxicology, and cause of death. Results showed 416 (61%) immediate, 199 (29%) early, and 63 (10%) late deaths. Compared with the classical description, the percentage of immediate deaths remained unchanged, and early deaths occurred much earlier (median 52 vs 120 minutes). However, unlike the classic trimodal distribution, the late peak was greatly diminished. Intentional injuries, alcohol intoxication, asphyxia, and injuries to the head and chest were independent predictors of immediate death. Alcohol intoxication and injuries to the chest were predictors of early death, while pelvic fractures and blunt assaults were associated with late deaths. In conclusion, trauma deaths now have a predominantly bimodal distribution. Near elimination of the late peak likely represents advancements in resuscitation and critical care that have reduced organ failure. Further reductions in mortality will likely come from prevention of intentional injuries and injuries associated with alcohol intoxication.

Abstract
Freshwater clam ( Corbicula fluminea), a popular edible shellfish in Asia, is said to have beneficial effects on liver function. However, scientific evidence for such benefit is limited. In this study, the authors aimed to assess the treatment effects of freshwater clam extract (FCE) administration after hemorrhagic shock (HS) in rats. The authors randomly divided animals into three groups. After inducing HS in rats in the HS + FCE ( n = 12) and HS groups, the authors fed 20 mg/kg FCE orally to rats in the HS group only. The authors neither induced HS in nor fed FCE to rats ( n = 8) in the vehicle group. The authors measured the blood levels of white blood cells (WBC), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) at several time points during the experiment. After 48 hr, the authors sacrificed the rats and harvested the livers for hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The HS significantly decreased mean arterial pressure (MAP), increased blood AST, ALT, and LDH levels and induced liver injury in rats. Treatment with FCE increased MAP level and decreased AST, ALT, LDH, and TNF-α levels after hemorrhage. The HE staining showed diminished organ injury in the FCE-treated group. In conclusion, the administration of posttreatment FCE suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory TNF-α production after HS and decreased the levels of markers of liver injury associated with HS in rats. These beneficial effects suggest that FCE is a potential immunomodulator.

Abstract
Damage control surgery, initially formalized <20 yrs ago, was developed to overcome the poor outcomes in exsanguinating abdominal trauma with traditional surgical approaches. The core concepts for damage control of hemorrhage and contamination control with abbreviated laparotomy followed by resuscitation before definitive repair, although simple in nature, have led to an alteration in which emergent surgery is handled among a multitude of problems, including abdominal sepsis and battlefield surgery. With the aggressive resuscitation associated with damage control surgery, understanding of abdominal compartment syndrome has expanded. It is probably through avoiding this clinical entity that the greatest improvement in surgical outcomes for various emergent surgical problems has occurred in the past two decades. However, with its success, new problems have emerged, including increases in enterocutaneous fistulas and open abdomens. But as with any crisis, innovative strategies are being developed. New approaches to control of the open abdomen and reconstruction of the abdominal wall are being developed from negative pressure dressing therapies to acellular allograft meshes. With further understanding of new resuscitative strategies, the need for damage control surgery may decline, along with its concomitant complications, at the same time retaining the success that damage control surgery has brought to the critically ill trauma and general surgery patient in the past few years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Erythropoietin (EPO) has pleiotropic cytoprotective actions. We investigated the effects of EPO on the physiopathology and cytokine levels after haemorrhagic shock (HS) in conscious rats. METHODS Rats received an intravenous injection of 300 U/kg EPO over 10 min followed by HS via withdrawal of 60% of total blood volume from a femoral arterial catheter (6 ml/100 g body weight) over 30 min. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored continuously for 18 h after the start of blood withdrawal. Levels of biochemical parameters, including haemoglobin, GOT, GPT, BUN, creatinine (Cr), LDH, CPK, and lactate were measured at 30 min before the induction of HS and 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 h after HS. Cytokine levels, including TNF-alpha and IL-6, in serum were measured at 1, 9, and 18 h after HS. The kidneys, liver, lungs, and small intestine were removed for pathology assessment at 48 h after HS. RESULTS HS significantly increased HR, blood GOT, GPT, BUN, Cr, LDH, CPK, lactate, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 levels and decreased haemoglobin and MAP in rats. Pre-treatment with EPO improved survival rate, preserved the MAP, decreased the tachycardia and markers of organ injury, suppressed the release of TNF-alpha and IL-6 after HS in rats. CONCLUSION Pre-treatment with EPO suppresses the release of serum TNF-alpha and IL-6, along with decreasing the levels of markers of organ injury associated with HS, with such actions ameliorating HS-induced organ damage in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock is the leading cause of potentially preventable death after traumatic injury. Hemorrhage and subsequent resuscitation may result in a dysfunctional systemic inflammatory response and multisystem organ failure, leading to delayed mortality. Clinical evidence supports improved survival and reduced morbidity when fresh blood products are used as resuscitation strategies. We hypothesized that the transfusion of fresh whole blood (FWB) attenuates systemic inflammation and reduces organ injury when compared with conventional crystalloid resuscitation after hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Male mice underwent femoral artery cannulation and hemorrhage to a systolic blood pressure of 25 mm Hg +/- 5 mm Hg. After 60 minutes, the mice were resuscitated with either FWB or lactated Ringer's solution (LR). Mice were decannulated and killed at intervals for tissue histology, serum cytokine analysis, and vascular permeability studies. Separate groups of mice were followed for survival studies. RESULTS When compared with FWB, mice resuscitated with LR required increased resuscitation fluid volume to reach goal systolic blood pressure. When compared with sham or FWB-resuscitated mice, LR resuscitation resulted in increased serum cytokine levels of macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, macrophage-derived chemokine, KC, and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor as well as increased lung injury and pulmonary capillary permeability. No survival differences were seen between animals resuscitated with LR or FWB. CONCLUSIONS Resuscitation with LR results in increased systemic inflammation, vascular permeability, and lung injury after hemorrhagic shock. Resuscitation with FWB attenuates the inflammation and lung injury seen with crystalloid resuscitation. These findings suggest that resuscitation strategies using fresh blood products potentially reduce systemic inflammation and organ injury after hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that the timing of fluid resuscitation and the type of fluid used to treat hemorrhagic shock contribute to the inflammatory response as well as cell death. METHODS Rats were bled of 40% of their total blood volume and then resuscitated in either early or delayed fashion. Treatment was assigned randomly and consisted of lactated Ringer's solution, normal saline, bicarbonate Ringer's solution, hypertonic saline, or no resuscitation. The first four groups were subdivided into early and late resuscitation. After a 5-h observation period, lung and liver samples were evaluated for apoptosis, and blood was collected for measurements of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-1beta. RESULTS The rats that were not resuscitated had significantly more apoptosis in liver tissue. In the lung, bicarbonate Ringer's solution, when given early, was associated with significantly less apoptosis. Non-resuscitated rats had significantly higher IL-6 concentrations than all other groups. Animals receiving hypertonic saline early had significantly higher IL-6 concentrations than those given any other fluid. The concentration of IL-1beta was significantly higher in the non-resuscitated rats than in those receiving bicarbonate Ringer's, lactated Ringer's, or normal saline for early resuscitation. Interleukin-10 was elevated significantly in non-resuscitated rats. CONCLUSIONS Cellular destruction and a pro-inflammatory response follow hemorrhagic shock. Early resuscitation with isotonic crystalloid fluids decreases these responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the effects of different resuscitation fluids on acute lung injury in a rat model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (HS) followed by mimicked infection. METHODS Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of the five groups (n = 12 per group) to receive the following treatments: (1) control group (group C), surgery, no hemorrhage, and no resuscitation; (2) no fluid resuscitation group; (3) lactated Ringer's solution group; (4) 7.5% hypertonic saline (HTS) group; and (5) hydroxyethyl starch group (group HES). All experimental groups were subjected to three phases: phase I entailed massive hemorrhage with a mean arterial pressure of 35 mm Hg to 40 mm Hg for 60 minutes by tail amputation and followed by mimicked infection by intratracheal administration of lipopolysaccharide 2 mg/kg. The animals in each group were then partially resuscitated with the fluid assigned to the group. Phase II of 60 minutes commenced at tail ligation, involved hemostasis, and return of all the blood initially shed. Phase III was an observation phase with no any further treatment and lasted for 3.5 hours. The survival rate at the end of the phase III was recorded. After phase III, arterial blood gases were recorded. The wet to dry lung weight ratio, pulmonary microvascular permeability, the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, and Smad2 were determined. The lung histology was also assessed. RESULTS HES and HTS solutions were more effective than no fluid resuscitation and lactated Ringer's solution in reducing the detrimental effects of HS and infection on the lungs, as seen by the significantly lower pulmonary microvascular permeability and wet to dry lung weight ratio, the improved arterial blood gases and lower levels of TGF-beta1and Smad2 expression in lung tissues. These beneficial effects were most pronounced in the group HES. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that resuscitation with HTS and especially with HES could reduce lung tissue damage and pulmonary edema after severe uncontrolled HS. The TGF-beta1/Smad2 signaling pathway might play a key role in regulation of pulmonary permeability and formation of pulmonary edema in a rat model of uncontrolled HS and infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock (HS) followed by resuscitation can result in production of several inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), leading to multiple organ dysfunction. Melatonin can attenuate organ damage with its anti-inflammation effects. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of melatonin on the physiopathology and cytokine levels after HS in rats. METHODS HS was induced in rats by withdrawing 40% of the total blood volume (6 mL/100 gm body weight) from a femoral artery catheter, immediately followed by intravenous injection of 10mg/kg melatonin. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate were monitored continuously for 48 h after the start of blood withdrawal. Biochemical parameters, including levels of hemoglobulin, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and lactate, were determined 30 min before and 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after induction of HS while an equal volume of normal saline was replaced as fluid resuscitation. Cytokine levels including TNF-α and IL-6 in the serum were measured at 1, 24, and 48 h after HS. The kidney, liver, lung, and small intestine were removed for pathology assessment at 48 h after HS. RESULTS HS significantly increased the heart rate, blood GOT, GPT, BUN, Cre, LDH, CPK, lactate, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels, and decreased hemoglobulin and mean arterial pressure in rats. Treatment with melatonin preserved the mean arterial pressure, decreased tachycardia, and markers of organ injury, and suppressed the release of TNF-α and IL-6, with no change in hemoglobulin after HS in rats. CONCLUSION Treatment with melatonin suppresses the release of serum TNF-α and IL-6, and decreases the levels of markers of organ injury associated with HS, thus ameliorating HS-induced organ damage in rats.

Abstract
Patients with hypertension have higher mortality rates from hemorrhagic shock (HS) than normotensive patients. Several inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) can be produced by HS and lead to multiple organ dysfunction and death. We investigated the effects of high dose (10 mg/kg/hr) and low dose (1 mg/kg/hr) propofol treatment after HS in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). By withdrawing 40% of total blood volume from a femoral arterial catheter (6 ml/100 g body weight [BW]) for more than 30 min, HS was induced. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored continuously for 24 hr after the start of blood withdrawal. Levels of biochemical parameters, including glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured 30 min before and 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 hr after the 30-min blood withdrawal period. Cytokine levels, including TNF-alpha and IL-10 in the serum, were measured 1 hr after HS. The kidney, liver, and lung were removed for pathology assessment at 48 hr after HS. HS significantly increased blood GOT, GPT, BUN, LDH, CPK, TNF-alpha, and IL-10 levels in conscious SHRs. Posttreatment propofol decreased serum TNF-alpha level, increased serum IL-10 level, attenuated the severity of organ damage, and improved survival rate after HS. This treatment protected SHRs against HS-induced organ damage. Moreover, high-dose propofol had a more protective effect than low-dose propofol against HS in conscious SHRs.

Abstract
We developed a complex combat-relevant model of abdominal and extremity trauma, hemorrhagic shock, hypothermia, and acidosis. We then simulated injury, preoperative, and operative phases. We hypothesized that this model is reproducible and useful for randomized multicenter preclinical trials. Yorkshire swine were anesthetized, intubated, and instrumented. They then underwent femur fracture, 60% total blood volume hemorrhage, a 30-min shock period, induced hypothermia to 33 degrees C, and hemorrhage volume replacement with 3:1 isotonic sodium chloride solution (NS) at each of three centers. Hemodynamic parameters were measured continuously. Thromboelastography, arterial blood gas, and laboratory values were collected at baseline, after the shock period, and after NS replacement. Thirty-seven animals were used for model development. Eight (21%) died before completion of the study period. Twenty-nine survivors were included in the analysis. MAP (+/-SEM) after the shock period was 32 +/- 2 mmHg and was similar between centers (P = 0.4). Mean pH, base deficit, and lactate levels were 7.29 +/- 0.02, 8.20 +/- 0.65 mmol/L, and 5.29 +/- 0.44 mmol/L, respectively, after NS replacement. These were similar between centers (P > 0.05). Prothrombin time values increased significantly over time at all centers, reflecting a progressive coagulopathy (P < 0.02). Thromboelastography maximum amplitude values were similar among centers (P > 0.05) and demonstrated progressively weakened platelet interaction over time (P < 0.03). Hematocrit was similar after controlled hemorrhage (P = 0.15) and dilution (P = 0.9). The pH, lactate, base deficit, and coagulation tests reflect a severely injured state. A complex porcine model of polytrauma and shock can be used for multi-institutional study with excellent reproducibility. A consistent severe injury profile was achieved, after which experimental interventions can be applied. This is the first report of a reproducible multicenter trauma and resuscitation-related animal model.

Abstract
Introduction Pulmonary oedema and impairment of oxygenation are reported as common consequences of haemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HSR). Surprisingly, there is little information in the literature examining differences in crystalloid type during the early phase of HSR regarding the development of pulmonary oedema, the impact on oxygenation and the haemodynamic response. These experiments were designed to determine if differences exist because of crystalloid fluid type in the development of oedema, the impact on oxygenation and the haemodynamic response to fluid administration in early HSR. Methods Twenty anaesthetised swine underwent a grade V liver injury and bled without resuscitation for 30 minutes. The animals were randomised to receive, in a blinded fashion, either normal saline (NS; n = 10) or lactated Ringer's solution (LR; n = 10). They were then resuscitated with study fluid to, and maintained at, the preinjury mean arterial pressure (MAP) for 90 minutes. Results Extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) began to increase immediately with resuscitation with both fluid types, increasing earlier and to a greater degree with NS. A 1 ml/kg increase in EVLWI from baseline occurred after administartion of (mean ± standard error of the mean) 68.6 ± 5.2 ml/kg of normal saline and 81.3 ± 8.7 ml/kg of LR (P = 0.027). After 150 ml/kg of fluid, EVLWI increased from 9.5 ± 0.3 ml/kg to 11.4 ± 0.3 ml/kg NS and from 9.3 ± 0.2 ml/kg to 10.8 ± 0.3 ml/kg LR (P = 0.035). Despite this, oxygenation was not significantly impacted (Delta partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≤ 100) until approximately 250 ml/kg of either fluid had been administered. Animals resuscitated with NS were more acidaemic (with lower lactates), pH 7.17 ± 0.03 NS vs. 7.41 ± 0.02 LR (P < 0.001). Conclusions This study suggests that early resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock with NS or LR has little impact on oxygenation when resuscitation volume is less than 250 ml/kg. LR has more favourable effects than NS on EVLWI, pH and blood pressure but not on oxygenation.

Fluvastatin attenuates severe hemorrhagic shock-induced organ damage in rats. Resuscitation 2009; 80:372-8. [PMID: 19150166 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2008.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2008] [Revised: 11/30/2008] [Accepted: 12/03/2008] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Multiple organ dysfunction resulting from hemorrhagic shock (HS) and subsequent resuscitation was mediated by several inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-10 (IL-10). The present study was designed to investigate the protective effects of fluvastatin on these mediators after HS in rats. METHODS The experimental rats were randomly divided into three groups. The vehicle group received only vitamin K without HS, the HS-control group received vitamin K and HS, and the HS-experimental group received both vitamin K and fluvastatin (1mg/kg) before HS. HS was produced by bleeding from a femoral arterial catheter to remove 60% of total blood volume (6ml/100g BW) over 30min. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored continuously for 12h after the start of blood withdrawal. The biochemical parameters, including arterial blood gas, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and lactate were obtained at 30min before induction of HS and at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12h after HS. Equal volume of normal saline was given to replace blood volume loss. Cytokine levels including TNF-alpha and IL-10 in serum were measured at 1h after HS. Kidney, liver, lung and small intestine were removed for pathology examination at 48h after HS. RESULTS HS significantly increased HR, blood GOT, GPT, BUN, Cre, LDH, CPK, lactate, TNF-alpha and IL-10 levels, and also induced metabolic acidosis and decreased MAP in rats. Pre-treatment with fluvastatin was found to improve survival rate, preserved MAP, decreased the markers of organ injury, suppressed the release of TNF-alpha and increased IL-10 after HS in rats. CONCLUSION Pre-treatment with fluvastatin can suppress the release of serum TNF-alpha and can also increase serum IL-10 level to protect HS-induced multi-organ damage in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhalational anesthetics can cause profound hemodynamic effects including decreases in systemic vascular resistance and cardiac inotropy. Although widely used in uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS), their consequences compared with other anesthetic regimens are not well-studied. Ketamine-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) may produce less profound cardiovascular depression, and has been used during elective surgery but rarely during traumatic shock. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of isoflurane (ISO) and TIVA regimens in a swine grade V liver injury model. We hypothesized that TIVA would result in less hypotension and dysfunctional inflammation than ISO. METHODS Twenty swine were randomized blindly to receive either 1% to 3% ISO, or intravenous ketamine, midazolam, and buprenorphine for maintenance anesthesia. Six animals acted as controls. After sedation and intubation, randomized anesthesia was initiated and monitored by an independent animal technician. Invasive lines were placed followed by celiotomy and splenectomy. Baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP) was documented and a grade V liver injury created. After 30 minutes of UHS, animals were resuscitated with 8 mL of Ringer's lactate per milliliter blood loss at 165 mL/min. MAP and tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) were continuously recorded. The animals were sacrificed 120 minutes after injury and lung tissue was harvested. Serum cytokines (interleukin-6 [IL-6], IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha]) were quantified with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Lung cytokine mRNA levels were quantified with real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Animal weight, liver injury pattern, and blood loss were similar (p > 0.1). The ISO group had a lower MAP at baseline (p = 0.02), at injury (p = 0.004), and study completion (p = 0.001). After resuscitation, MAP decreased in the ISO group but remained stable in the TIVA group. StO2 was significantly higher in the TIVA group immediately after injury (p = 0.004), but similar between groups throughout the remainder of the study. Animals who received TIVA trended toward higher levels of lactate and lower pH throughout the study, reaching significance at 30 minutes postinjury (p = 0.037 and 0.043). Inflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha) production did not differ between groups, however TNF-alpha mRNA production was significantly lower in the TIVA group (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Although a TIVA regimen produced less pronounced hypotension in a swine model of UHS than did ISO, end-organ perfusion with TIVA appeared to be equivalent or inferior to ISO. In circumstances of limited resources, such as those experienced by forward Army surgical teams, a ketamine-based TIVA regimen may be an option for use in UHS.

Abstract
Background To evaluate whether the level of hypotension during hemorrhagic shock may influence the oxidative and inflammatory responses developed during post-ischemic resuscitation. Methods Fifteen rabbits were equally allocated into three groups: sham-operated (group sham); bled within 30 minutes to mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 40 mmHg (group shock-40); bled within 30 minutes to MAP of 30 mmHg (group shock-30). Shock was maintained for 60 min. Resuscitation was performed by reinfusing shed blood with two volumes of Ringer's lactate and blood was sampled for estimation of serum levels aminotransferases, creatinine, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant status (TAS) and for the determination of oxidative burst of polymorhonuclears (PMNs) and mononuclear cells (MCs). Results Serum AST of group shock-30 was higher than that of group shock-40 at 60 and 120 minutes after start of resuscitation; serum creatinine of group shock-30 was higher than group shock-40 at 120 minutes. Measured cytokines, MDA and cellular oxidative burst of groups, shock-40 and shock-30 were higher than group sham within the first 60 minutes after start of resuscitation. Serum concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α of group shock-30 were higher than group shock-40 at 120 minutes (p < 0.05). No differences were found between two groups regarding serum MDA and TAS and oxidative burst on PMNs and MCs but both groups were different to group sham. Conclusion The level of hypotension is a major determinant of the severity of hepatic and renal dysfunction and of the inflammatory response arising during post-ischemic hemorrhagic shock resuscitation. These findings deserve further evaluation in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock is a leading cause of death in trauma patients worldwide. Bleeding control, maintenance of tissue oxygenation with fluid resuscitation, coagulation support, and maintenance of normothermia remain mainstays of therapy for patients with hemorrhagic shock. Although now widely practised as standard in the USA and Europe, shock resuscitation strategies involving blood replacement and fluid volume loading to regain tissue perfusion and oxygenation vary between trauma centers; the primary cause of this is the scarcity of published evidence and lack of randomized controlled clinical trials. Despite enormous efforts to improve outcomes after severe hemorrhage, novel strategies based on experimental data have not resulted in profound changes in treatment philosophy. Recent clinical and experimental studies indicated the important influences of sex and genetics on pathophysiological mechanisms after hemorrhage. Those findings might provide one explanation why several promising experimental approaches have failed in the clinical arena. In this respect, more clinically relevant animal models should be used to investigate pathophysiology and novel treatment approaches. This review points out new therapeutic strategies, namely immunomodulation, cardiovascular maintenance, small volume resuscitation, and so on, that have been introduced in clinics or are in the process of being transferred from bench to bedside. Control of hemorrhage in the earliest phases of care, recognition and monitoring of individual risk factors, and therapeutic modulation of the inflammatory immune response will probably constitute the next generation of therapy in hemorrhagic shock. Further randomized controlled multicenter clinical trials are needed that utilize standardized criteria for enrolling patients, but existing ethical requirements must be maintained.
