Abstract
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of death in the prehospital setting. Since trauma-induced pain often accompanies a hemorrhagic insult, the administered pain medication must not interfere with critical autonomic regulation of arterial blood pressure and vital organ perfusion. The purpose of this study was to test two unrelated hypotheses: 1) sublingual sufentanil (Dsuvia) impairs tolerance to progressive central hypovolemia and 2) sublingual sufentanil attenuates pain sensation and the accompanying cardiovascular responses to a noxious stimulus. Twenty-nine adults participated in this double-blinded, randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial. After sublingual administration of sufentanil (30 μg) or placebo, participants completed a progressive lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) challenge to tolerance (aim 1). After a recovery period, participants completed a cold pressor test (CPT; aim 2). Addressing the first aim, tolerance to LBNP was not different between trials (P = 0.495). Decreases in systolic blood pressure from baseline to the end of LBNP also did not differ between trials (time P < 0.001, trial P = 0.477, interaction P = 0.587). Finally, increases in heart rate from baseline to the end of LBNP did not differ between trials (time P < 0.001, trial P = 0.626, interaction P = 0.424). Addressing the second aim, sufentanil attenuated perceived pain (P < 0.001) in response to the CPT, though the magnitude of the change in mean blood pressure during the CPT (P = 0.078) was not different between trials. These data demonstrate that sublingual sufentanil does not impair tolerance to progressive central hypovolemia. Additionally, sublingual sufentanil attenuates perceived pain, but not the accompanying mean blood pressure responses to the CPT.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Addressing two unique aims, we observed that sublingual sufentanil administration does not impair tolerance or cardiovascular responses to lower-body negative pressure (LBNP)-induced progressive central hypovolemia. Second, despite pain perception being reduced, sublingual sufentanil did not attenuate mean blood pressure responses to a cold pressor test (CPT).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Compensatory Reserve Metric (CRM) provides a time sensitive indicator of hemodynamic decompensation. However, its in-field utility is limited because of the size and cost-intensive nature of standard vital sign monitors or photoplethysmographic volume-clamp (PPG VC ) devices used to measure arterial waveforms. In this regard, photoplethysmographic measurements obtained from pulse oximetry may serve as a useful, portable alternative. This study aimed to validate CRM values obtained using pulse oximeter (PPG PO ). METHODS Forty-nine healthy adults (25 females) underwent a graded lower body negative pressure (LBNP) protocol to simulate hemorrhage. Arterial waveforms were sampled using PPG PO and PPG VC . The CRM was calculated using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network. Cardiac output and stroke volume were measured using PPG VC . A brachial artery catheter was used to measure intra-arterial pressure. A three-lead electrocardiogram was used to measure heart rate. Fixed-effect linear mixed models with repeated measures were used to examine the association between CRM values and physiologic variables. Log-rank analyses were used to examine differences in shock determination during LBNP between monitored hemodynamic parameters. RESULTS The median LBNP stage reached was 70 mm Hg (range, 45-100 mm Hg). Relative to baseline, at tolerance, there was a 47% ± 12% reduction in stroke volume, 64% ± 27% increase in heart rate, and 21% ± 7% reduction in systolic blood pressure ( p < 0.001 for all). Compensatory Reserve Metric values obtained with both PPG PO and PPG VC were associated with changes in heart rate ( p < 0.001), stroke volume ( p < 0.001), and pulse pressure ( p < 0.001). Furthermore, they provided an earlier detection of hemodynamic shock relative to the traditional metrics of shock index ( p < 0.001 for both), systolic blood pressure ( p < 0.001 for both), and heart rate ( p = 0.001 for both). CONCLUSION The CRM obtained from PPG PO provides a valid, time-sensitized prediction of hemodynamic decompensation, opening the door to provide military medical personnel noninvasive in-field advanced capability for early detection of hemorrhage and imminent onset of shock.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Detection of occult hemorrhage (OH) before progression to clinically apparent changes in vital signs remains an important clinical problem in managing trauma patients. The resource-intensiveness associated with continuous clinical patient monitoring and rescue from frank shock makes accurate early detection and prediction with noninvasive measurement technology a desirable innovation. Despite significant efforts directed toward the development of innovative noninvasive diagnostics, the implementation and performance of the newest bedside technologies remain inadequate. This poor performance may reflect the limitations of univariate systems based on one sensor in one anatomic location. It is possible that when signals are measured with multiple modalities in multiple locations, the resulting multivariate anatomic and temporal patterns of measured signals may provide additional discriminative power over single technology univariate measurements. We evaluated the potential superiority of multivariate methods over univariate methods. Additionally, we utilized machine learning-based models to compare the performance of noninvasive-only to noninvasive-plus-invasive measurements in predicting the onset of OH. MATERIALS AND METHODS We applied machine learning methods to preexisting datasets derived using the lower body negative pressure human model of simulated hemorrhage. Employing multivariate measured physiological signals, we investigated the extent to which machine learning methods can effectively predict the onset of OH. In particular, we applied 2 ensemble learning methods, namely, random forest and gradient boosting. RESULTS Analysis of precision, recall, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve showed a superior performance of multivariate approach to that of the univariate ones. In addition, when using both invasive and noninvasive features, random forest classifier had a recall 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.81 to 0.86 with a precision 95% CI of 0.65 to 0.72. Interestingly, when only noninvasive features were employed, the results worsened only slightly to a recall 95% CI of 0.80 to 0.85 and a precision 95% CI of 0.61 to 0.73. CONCLUSIONS Multivariate ensemble machine learning-based approaches for the prediction of hemodynamic instability appear to hold promise for the development of effective solutions. In the lower body negative pressure multivariate hemorrhage model, predictions based only on noninvasive measurements performed comparably to those using both invasive and noninvasive measurements.

Abstract
Objective.Diagnosis of incipient acute hypovolemia is challenging as vital signs are typically normal and patients remain asymptomatic at early stages. The early identification of this entity would affect patients' outcome if physicians were able to treat it precociously. Thus, the development of a noninvasive, continuous bedside monitoring tool to detect occult hypovolemia before patients become hemodynamically unstable is clinically relevant. We hypothesize that pulse oximeter's alternant (AC) and continuous (DC) components of the infrared light are sensitive to acute and small changes in patient's volemia. We aimed to test this hypothesis in a cohort of healthy blood donors as a model of slight hypovolemia.Approach.We planned to prospectively study blood donor volunteers removing 450 ml of blood in supine position. Noninvasive arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and finger pulse oximetry were recorded. Data was analyzed before donation, after donation and during blood auto-transfusion generated by the passive leg-rising (PLR) maneuver.Main results.Sixty-six volunteers (44% women) accomplished the protocol successfully. No clinical symptoms of hypovolemia, arterial hypotension (systolic pressure < 90 mmHg), brady-tachycardia (heart rate <60 and >100 beats-per-minute) or hypoxemia (SpO2< 90%) were observed during donation. The AC signal before donation (median 0.21 and interquartile range 0.17 a.u.) increased after donation [0.26(0.19) a.u;p< 0.001]. The DC signal before donation [94.05(3.63) a.u] increased after blood extraction [94.65(3.49) a.u;p< 0.001]. When the legs' blood was auto-transfused during the PLR, the AC [0.21(0.13) a.u.;p= 0.54] and the DC [94.25(3.94) a.u.;p= 0.19] returned to pre-donation levels.Significance.The AC and DC components of finger pulse oximetry changed during blood donation in asymptomatic volunteers. The continuous monitoring of these signals could be helpful in detecting occult acute hypovolemia. New pulse oximeters should be developed combining the AC/DC signals with a functional hemodynamic monitoring of fluid responsiveness to define which patient needs fluid administration.

Abstract
PURPOSE The compensatory reserve metric (CRM) is a novel tool to predict cardiovascular decompensation during hemorrhage. The CRM is traditionally computed using waveforms obtained from photoplethysmographic volume-clamp (PPGVC), yet invasive arterial pressures may be uniquely available. We aimed to examine the level of agreement of CRM values computed from invasive arterial-derived waveforms and values computed from PPGVC-derived waveforms. METHODS Sixty-nine participants underwent graded lower body negative pressure to simulate hemorrhage. Waveform measurements from a brachial arterial catheter and PPGVC finger-cuff were collected. A PPGVC brachial waveform was reconstructed from the PPGVC finger waveform. Thereafter, CRM values were computed using a deep one-dimensional convolutional neural network for each of the following source waveforms; (1) invasive arterial, (2) PPGVC brachial, and (3) PPGVC finger. Bland-Altman analyses were used to determine the level of agreement between invasive arterial CRM values and PPGVC CRM values, with results presented as the Mean Bias [95% Limits of Agreement]. RESULTS The mean bias between invasive arterial- and PPGVC brachial CRM values at rest, an applied pressure of -45mmHg, and at tolerance was 6% [-17%, 29%], 1% [-28%, 30%], and 0% [-25%, 25%], respectively. Additionally, the mean bias between invasive arterial- and PPGVC finger CRM values at rest, applied pressure of -45mmHg, and tolerance was 2% [-22%, 26%], 8% [-19%, 35%], and 5% [-15%, 25%], respectively. CONCLUSION There is generally good agreement between CRM values obtained from invasive arterial waveforms and values obtained from PPGVC waveforms. Invasive arterial waveforms may serve as an alternative for computation of the CRM.

Abstract
We investigated whether reducing face skin temperature alters arterial blood pressure control and lower body negative pressure (LBNP) tolerance after exercise heat stress. Eight subjects (1 female; age, 27 ± 9 yr) exercised at ∼63% V̇o2max until core temperature had increased ∼1.5°C before undergoing LBNP to presyncope either with fanning to return face skin temperature to baseline (Δ-5°C, Fan trial) or without (No Fan trial). LBNP tolerance was quantified as cumulative stress index (CSI; mmHg·min). Before LBNP, whole body and face skin temperatures were elevated from baseline in both trials (38.0 ± 0.5°C and 36.3 ± 0.5°C, respectively, both P < 0.001). During LBNP, face skin temperature decreased in the Fan trial (30.9 ± 1.0°C) but was unchanged in the No Fan trial (36.1 ± 0.6°C, between trials P < 0.001). Mean arterial pressure was not different between trials (P = 0.237) and was similarly reduced at presyncope in both trials (from 82 ± 7 to 67 ± 8 mmHg, P < 0.001). During LBNP, heart rate was attenuated in the Fan trial at Mid LBNP (146 ± 16 vs. 158 ± 12 beats/min, P = 0.036) and at peak heart rate (158 ± 15 vs. 170 ± 15 beats/min; P < 0.001). LBNP tolerance was not different between trials (321 ± 248 vs. 328 ± 115 mmHg·min, P = 0.851). In exercise heat-stressed individuals, lowering face skin temperature to normothermic values suppressed heart rate thereby altering cardiovascular control during a simulated hemorrhagic challenge without reducing tolerance.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: The compensatory reserve measurement (CRM) is a continuous noninvasive monitoring technology that provides an assessment of the integrated capacity of all physiological mechanisms associated with responses to a hypovolemic stressor such as hemorrhagic shock. No prior studies have analyzed its use for intraoperative resuscitation guidance. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted of 23 patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplant. Chart review was performed to identify timing of various intraoperative events. Data were compared based on predefined thresholds for existence of hemorrhagic shock: CRM lower than 40%, systolic blood pressure (SBP) lower than 90 mm Hg (SBP90), and heart rate (HR) higher than 100 beats per minute (HR100). Regression analysis was performed for predicting resuscitation events, and nonlinear eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) models were used to compare CRM with standard vital sign measures. Results: Events where CRM dropped lower than 40% were 2.25 times more likely to lead to an intervention, whereas HR100 and SBP90 were not associated with intraoperative interventions. XGBoost prediction models showed superior discriminatory capacity of CRM alone compared with the model with SBP and HR and no difference when all three were combined (CRM-HR-SBP). All XGBoost models outperformed equivalent linear regression models. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that CRM can provide an adjunctive clinical tool that can augment early and accurate of hemodynamic compromise and promote goal-directed resuscitation in the perioperative setting.

Abstract
During cerebral hypoperfusion induced by lower body negative pressure (LBNP), cerebral tissue oxygenation is protected with oscillatory arterial pressure and cerebral blood flow at low frequencies (0.1 Hz and 0.05 Hz), despite no protection of cerebral blood flow or oxygen delivery. However, hypocapnia induced by LBNP contributes to cerebral blood flow reductions, and may mask potential protective effects of hemodynamic oscillations on cerebral blood flow. We hypothesized that under isocapnic conditions, forced oscillations of arterial pressure and blood flow at 0.1 Hz and 0.05 Hz would attenuate reductions in extra- and intracranial blood flow during simulated hemorrhage using LBNP. Eleven human participants underwent three LBNP profiles: a nonoscillatory condition (0 Hz) and two oscillatory conditions (0.1 Hz and 0.05 Hz). End-tidal (et) CO2 and etO2 were clamped at baseline values using dynamic end-tidal forcing. Cerebral tissue oxygenation (ScO2), internal carotid artery (ICA) blood flow, and middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv) were measured. With clamped etCO2, neither ICA blood flow (ANOVA P = 0.93) nor MCAv (ANOVA P = 0.36) decreased with LBNP, and these responses did not differ between the three profiles (ICA blood flow: 0 Hz: 2.2 ± 5.4%, 0.1 Hz: -0.4 ± 6.6%, 0.05 Hz: 0.2 ± 4.8%; P = 0.56; MCAv: 0 Hz: -2.3 ± 7.8%, 0.1 Hz: -1.3 ± 6.1%, 0.05 Hz: -3.1 ± 5.0%; P = 0.87). Similarly, ScO2 did not decrease with LBNP (ANOVA P = 0.21) nor differ between the three profiles (0 Hz: -2.6 ± 3.3%, 0.1 Hz: -1.6 ± 1.5%, 0.05 Hz: -0.2 ± 2.8%; P = 0.13). Contrary to our hypothesis, cerebral blood flow and tissue oxygenation were protected during LBNP with isocapnia, regardless of whether hemodynamic oscillations were induced.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We examined the role of forcing oscillations in arterial pressure and blood flow at 0.1 Hz and 0.05 Hz on extra- and intracranial blood flow and cerebral tissue oxygenation during simulated hemorrhage (using lower body negative pressure, LBNP) under isocapnic conditions. Contrary to our hypothesis, both cerebral blood flow and cerebral tissue oxygenation were completely protected during simulated hemorrhage with isocapnia, regardless of whether oscillations in arterial pressure and cerebral blood flow were induced. These findings highlight the protective effect of preventing hypocapnia on cerebral blood flow under simulated hemorrhage conditions.

Intraoperative Use of Compensatory Reserve Measurement in Orthotopic Liver Transplant: Improved Sensitivity for the Prediction of Hypovolemic Events. Mil Med 2023; 188:322-327. [PMID: 37948269 DOI: 10.1093/milmed/usad130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The compensatory reserve measurement (CRM) is a continuous non-invasive monitoring technology that measures the summation of all physiological mechanisms involved in the compensatory response to central hypovolemia. The CRM is displayed on a 0% to 100% scale. The objective of this study is to characterize the use of CRM in the operative setting and determine its ability to predict hypovolemic events compared to standard vital signs. Orthotopic liver transplant was used as the reference procedure because of the predictable occurrence of significant hemodynamic shifts. METHODS A prospective observational cohort study was conducted on 22 consecutive patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplant. The subjects were monitored in accordance with the standard of care. The CRM data were collected concurrently with intraoperative staff blinded to the outputs. The data were stored on secure devices on encrypted files. Based on prior literature, subgroup analysis was performed for high-tolerance (good compensators) and low-tolerance (poor compensators) groups, which was based on a shock index threshold of 0.9. Threshold events were defined as follows: CRM below 60% (CRM60), systolic blood pressure (SBP) below 90 mmHg (SBP90), and heart rate (HR) above 100 beats per minute (HR100). RESULTS Complete data were captured in 22 subjects as a result of device malfunction or procedure cancellation. Sensitivity analysis was performed for the detection of hypovolemia at the time of the event. CRM60 was the most sensitive (62.6%) when compared to other threshold measures such as SBP90 (30.6%), HR100 (23.1%), elevated lactate (54.6%), and a drop in hemoglobin (41.7%). The number of patients meeting the CRM60 threshold at the time of the first transfusion (TFX) was higher when compared to SBP90 and HR100 in the overall group (P = .001 and P < .001, respectively) and both the high-tolerance (P = .002 and P = .001, respectively) and low-tolerance groups (P = .016 and P = .001, respectively). Similar results supporting the higher sensitivity of CRM were observed when comparing the number of patients below the threshold at the time of the first vasopressor administration. Start time was standardized so that the time-to-threshold signals for hemodynamic and laboratory parameters could be compared. The median time-to-CRM signal detection before the TFX event was -15.0 minutes (i.e., 15 minutes before TFX). There was no difference when compared to the SBP threshold (median time -5.0 minutes, P = .64) but was significantly sooner when compared to HR (P = .006), lactate (P = .002), and hemoglobin (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS At the time of the first TFX, the CRM had a higher rate of detection of a hypovolemic event compared to SBP and HR, indicating a higher sensitivity for the detection of the first hypovolemic event. When combined with all hypovolemic events, sensitivity analysis showed that CRM60 provides the earlier predictive capability. Given that SBP is the clinical standard of care for the initiation of TFX, the finding that median time to event detection was statistically similar between CRM60 and SBP90 was not unexpected. When compared to other measures of hypovolemia, the CRM consistently showed earlier detection of hypovolemic events. Although this study had a small sample size, it produced significant results and can serve as a proof of concept for future large-scale studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ketamine administration in patients experiencing or at risk for hypotension is common based upon the presumption of this agent's favorable hemodynamic profile. The Compensatory Reserve Measurement (CRM) is a novel algorithm that accurately tracks systemic adequacy for delivery of oxygen (DO2) to the tissues. We present a case series of trauma patients receiving ketamine with CRM measurements to offer insight into the DO2 during resuscitation. METHODS We captured vital signs along with analog arterial waveform data from trauma patients meeting major activation criteria using a prospective study design. Study team members tracked interventions and vital signs including systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) throughout their emergency department stay. RESULTS Our study included 8 patients who received ketamine for intubation or analgesia (20-300 mg) and had adequate data for analysis. Most were male (88%) with a median age of 28. The most common mechanisms of injury were motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) (38%) and gunshot wounds (38%). After ketamine administration SBP, MAP, and HR all increased while the CRM exhibited minimal change. CONCLUSIONS SBP, MAP, and HR generally appeared to increase while the CRM remained unchanged. Our findings suggest that while standard vital sign measurements appear to increase, ketamine may not improve delivery of oxygen to the tissues. This warrants further study to better understand the effects of ketamine on hemodynamics.

Abstract
AIMS To describe: 1) systems in place for recognition and response to deteriorating children in Italy, 2) attitudes and practices of registered nurses (RN) towards vital signs (VS) monitoring in pediatric wards, 3) the associations of nurses attitudes and pratices with nurses' and organizational characteristics. DESIGN AND METHODS A multicentre cross-sectional correlational study. Data were collected between January-May 2020 using: an adapted version of the 'Survey on Recognition and Response Systems in Australia', and the 'Ped-V Scale'. Descriptive and adjusted linear regression analysis was performed, accounting for clustering. RESULTS Ten Italian hospitals participated, 432 RNs responded to the Ped-V scale (response rate = 52%). Five (50%) hospitals had a VS policy in place, three hospitals (30%) had a Pediatric Early Warning System (PEWS), almost all hospitals had a system in place to respond to deteriorating children. Following multivariate regression analysis, having a PEWS was significantly associated with Ped-V scale 'Workload', 'Clinical competence', 'Standardization' dimensions; gender was associated with 'key indicators' and pediatric surgical ward with 'Clinical competence'. CONCLUSIONS The use of VS policies and PEWS was not consistent across hospitals caring for children in Italy. Nurses' attitudes and practices (i.e., perception of workload, and clinical competence) were significantly lower in hospitals with increased complexity of care/PEWS. Gender was significantly associated with knowledge scores. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS System strategies to improve nurses' attitudes and practices towards VS monitoring and education are warranted to support effective behaviors towards VS monitoring, their interpretation, and appropriate communication to activate the efferent limb of the rapid response system.

Abstract
Since hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable death in both civilian and military settings, the development of advanced decision support monitoring capabilities is necessary to promote improved clinical outcomes. The emergence of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) has provided a bioengineering technology for inducing progressive reductions in central blood volume shown to be accurate as a model for the study of the early compensatory stages of hemorrhage. In this context, the specific aim of this study was to provide for the first time a systematic technical evaluation to meet a commonly accepted engineering standard based on the FDA-recognized Standard for Assessing Credibility of Modeling through Verification and Validation (V&V) for Medical Devices (ASME standard V&V 40) specifically highlighting LBNP as a valuable resource for the safe study of hemorrhage physiology in humans. As an experimental tool, evidence is presented that LBNP is credible, repeatable, and validated as an analog for the study of human hemorrhage physiology compared to actual blood loss. The LBNP tool can promote the testing and development of advanced monitoring algorithms and evaluating wearable sensors with the goal of improving clinical outcomes during use in emergency medical settings.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: The compensatory reserve index (CRI) is a noninvasive, continuous measure designed to detect intravascular volume loss. CRI is derived from the pulse oximetry waveform and reflects the proportion of physiologic reserve remaining before clinical hemodynamic decompensation. Methods: In this prospective, observational, prehospital cohort study, we measured CRI in injured patients transported by emergency medical services (EMS) to a single Level I trauma center. We determined whether the rolling average of CRI values over 60 s (CRI trend [CRI-T]) predicts in-hospital diagnosis of hemorrhagic shock, defined as blood product administration in the prehospital setting or within 4 h of hospital arrival. We hypothesized that lower CRI-T values would be associated with an increased likelihood of hemorrhagic shock and better predict hemorrhagic shock than prehospital vital signs. Results: Prehospital CRI was collected on 696 adult trauma patients, 21% of whom met our definition of hemorrhagic shock. The minimum CRI-T was 0.14 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.08-0.31) in those with hemorrhagic shock and 0.31 (IQR 0.15-0.50) in those without ( P = <0.0001). The positive likelihood ratio of a CRI-T value <0.2 predicting hemorrhagic shock was 1.85 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.55-2.22). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the minimum CRI-T predicting hemorrhagic shock was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.60-0.70), which outperformed initial prehospital HR (0.56; 95% CI, 0.50-0.62) but underperformed EMS systolic blood pressure and shock index (0.74; 95% CI, 0.70-0.79 and 0.72; 95% CI, 0.67-0.77, respectively). Conclusions: Low prehospital CRI-T predicts blood product transfusion by EMS or within 4 hours of hospital arrival but is less prognostic than EMS blood pressure or shock index. The evaluated version of CRI may be useful in an austere setting at identifying injured patients that require the most significant medical resources. CRI may be improved with noise filtering to attenuate the effects of vibration and patient movement.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The dicrotic notch (DN) has long been considered a marker of arterial stiffness and compliance. Herein, we explored the recent developments in vascular medicine research in an attempt to assess the DN utility in clinical cardiovascular medicine. RECENT FINDINGS Since its discovery, several studies have attempted to measure the changes in different parameters of the DN in physiological and pathological states. Despite the significance of their findings, the clinical role of the DN remained limited. This may have been related to the difficulty of measuring the DN via indwelling arterial catheters in the past. However, over the past two decades, several non-invasive methods have been developed, which may re-ignite interest in DN research. The DN may have broader applications in clinical cardiovascular medicine. Further research is needed to establish the accuracy of DN non-invasive measurement methods and compare its prognostic value to other circulatory parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncontrolled bleeding is a common cause of preventable mortality in trauma. While it is intuitive that delays to hemostasis may lead to worse outcomes, the impacts of these delays remain incompletely explored. This systematic review aimed to characterize the extant definitions of delayed hemostatic intervention and to quantify the impacts of delays on clinical outcomes. METHODS We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Web of Science from inception to August 2022. Studies defining "delayed intervention" and those comparing times to intervention among adults presenting to hospital with blunt or penetrating injuries who required major hemostatic intervention were eligible. The coprimary outcomes were mortality and the definition of delay to hemostasis used. Secondary outcomes included units of packed red blood cells received, length of stay in hospital, and length of stay in intensive care. RESULTS We identified 2,050 studies, with 24 studies including 10,168 patients meeting the inclusion criteria. The majority of studies were retrospective observational cohort studies, and most were at high risk of bias. A variety of injury patterns and hemostatic interventions were considered, with 69.6% of studies reporting a statistically significant impact of increased time to intervention on mortality. Definitions of delayed intervention ranged from 10 minutes to 4 hours. Conflicting data were reported for impact of time on receipt of blood products, while one study found a significant impact on intensive care length of stay. No studies assessed length of stay in hospital. CONCLUSION The extant literature is heterogeneous with respect to injuries included, methods of hemostasis employed, and durations of delay examined. While the majority of the included studies demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between time to intervention and mortality, an evidence-informed definition of delayed intervention for bleeding trauma patients at large has not been solidified. In addition, standardized research is needed to establish targets, which could reduce morbidity and mortality. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic Review; Level IV.

Abstract
Tracking vital signs accurately is critical for triaging a patient and ensuring timely therapeutic intervention. The patient's status is often clouded by compensatory mechanisms that can mask injury severity. The compensatory reserve measurement (CRM) is a triaging tool derived from an arterial waveform that has been shown to allow for earlier detection of hemorrhagic shock. However, the deep-learning artificial neural networks developed for its estimation do not explain how specific arterial waveform elements lead to predicting CRM due to the large number of parameters needed to tune these models. Alternatively, we investigate how classical machine-learning models driven by specific features extracted from the arterial waveform can be used to estimate CRM. More than 50 features were extracted from human arterial blood pressure data sets collected during simulated hypovolemic shock resulting from exposure to progressive levels of lower body negative pressure. A bagged decision tree design using the ten most significant features was selected as optimal for CRM estimation. This resulted in an average root mean squared error in all test data of 0.171, similar to the error for a deep-learning CRM algorithm at 0.159. By separating the dataset into sub-groups based on the severity of simulated hypovolemic shock withstood, large subject variability was observed, and the key features identified for these sub-groups differed. This methodology could allow for the identification of unique features and machine-learning models to differentiate individuals with good compensatory mechanisms against hypovolemia from those that might be poor compensators, leading to improved triage of trauma patients and ultimately enhancing military and emergency medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early warning scores reliably identify patients at risk of imminent death, but do not provide insight into what may be wrong with the patient or what to do about it. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to explore whether the Shock Index (SI), pulse pressure (PP), and ROX Index can place acutely ill medical patients in pathophysiologic categories that could indicate the interventions required. METHODS A retrospective post-hoc analysis of previously obtained and reported clinical data for 45,784 acutely ill medical patients admitted to a major regional referral Canadian hospital between 2005 and 2010 and validated on 107,546 emergency admissions to four Dutch hospitals between 2017 and 2022. RESULTS SI, PP, and ROX values divided patients into eight mutually exclusive physiologic categories. Mortality was highest in patient categories that included ROX Index value < 22, and a ROX Index value < 22 multiplied the risk of any other abnormality. Patients with a ROX Index value < 22, PP < 42 mm Hg, and SI > 0.7 had the highest mortality and accounted for 40% of deaths within 24 h of admission, whereas patients with a PP ≥ 42 mm Hg, SI ≤ 0.7, and ROX Index value ≥ 22 had the lowest risk of death. These results were the same in both the Canadian and Dutch patient cohorts. CONCLUSIONS SI, PP, and ROX Index values can place acutely ill medical patients into eight mutually exclusive pathophysiologic categories with different mortality rates. Future studies will assess the interventions needed by these categories and their value in guiding treatment and disposition decisions.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock (HS) management is based on a timely, rapid, definitive source control of bleeding/s and on blood loss replacement. Stopping the hemorrhage from progressing from any named and visible vessel is the main stem fundamental praxis of efficacy and effectiveness and an essential, obligatory, life-saving step. Blood loss replacement serves the purpose of preventing ischemia/reperfusion toxemia and optimizing tissue oxygenation and microcirculation dynamics. The "physiological classification of HS" dictates the timely management and suits the 'titrated hypotensive resuscitation' tactics and the 'damage control surgery' strategy. In any hypotensive but not yet critical shock, the body's response to a fluid load test determines the cut-off point between compensation and progression between the time for adopting conservative treatment and preparing for surgery or rushing to the theater for rapid bleeding source control. Up to 20% of the total blood volume is given to refill the unstressed venous return volume. In any critical level of shock where, ab initio, the patient manifests signs indicating critical physiology and impending cardiac arrest or cardiovascular accident, the balance between the life-saving reflexes stretched to the maximum and the insufficient distal perfusion (blood, oxygen, and substrates) remains in a liable and delicate equilibrium, susceptible to any minimal change or interfering variable. In a cardiac arrest by exsanguination, the core of the physiological issue remains the rapid restoration of a sufficient venous return, allowing the heart to pump it back into systemic circulation either by open massage via sternotomy or anterolateral thoracotomy or spontaneously after aorta clamping in the chest or in the abdomen at the epigastrium under extracorporeal resuscitation and induced hypothermia. This is the only way to prevent ischemic damage to the brain and the heart. This is accomplishable rapidly and efficiently only by a direct approach, which is a crush laparotomy if the bleeding is coming from an abdominal +/- lower limb site or rapid sternotomy/anterolateral thoracotomy if the bleeding is coming from a chest +/- upper limbs site. Without first stopping the bleeding and refilling the heart, any further exercise is doomed to failure. Direct source control via laparotomy/thoracotomy, with the concomitant or soon following venous refilling, are the two essential, initial life-saving steps.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma. Accurate monitoring of hemorrhage and resuscitation can significantly reduce mortality and morbidity but remains a challenge due to the low sensitivity of traditional vital signs in detecting blood loss and possible hemorrhagic shock. Vital signs are not reliable early indicators because of physiological mechanisms that compensate for blood loss and thus do not provide an accurate assessment of volume status. As an alternative, machine learning (ML) algorithms that operate on an arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveform have been shown to provide an effective early indicator. However, these ML approaches lack physiological interpretability. In this paper, we evaluate and compare the performance of ML models trained on nine ABP-derived features that provide physiological insight, using a database of 13 human subjects from a lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) model of progressive central hypovolemia and subsequent progressive restoration to normovolemia (i.e., simulated hemorrhage and whole blood resuscitation). Data were acquired at multiple repressurization rates for each subject to simulate varying resuscitation rates, resulting in 52 total LBNP collections. This work is the first to use a single ABP-based algorithm to monitor both simulated hemorrhage and resuscitation. A gradient-boosted regression tree model trained on only the half-rise to dicrotic notch (HRDN) feature achieved a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 13%, an R2 of 0.82, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.97 for detecting decompensation. This single-feature model's performance compares favorably to previously reported results from more-complex black box machine learning models. This model further provides physiological insight because HRDN represents an approximate measure of the delay between the ABP ejected and reflected wave and therefore is an indication of cardiac and peripheral vascular mechanisms that contribute to the compensatory response to blood loss and replacement.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma. Traditionally, vital signs have been used to detect blood loss and possible hemorrhagic shock. However, vital signs are not sensitive for early detection because of physiological mechanisms that compensate for blood loss. As an alternative, machine learning algorithms that operate on an arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveform acquired via photoplethysmography have been shown to provide an effective early indicator. However, these machine learning approaches lack physiological interpretability. In this paper, we evaluate the importance of nine ABP-derived features that provide physiological insight, using a database of 40 human subjects from a lower-body negative pressure model of progressive central hypovolemia. One feature was found to be considerably more important than any other. That feature, the half-rise to dicrotic notch (HRDN), measures an approximate time delay between the ABP ejected and reflected wave components. This delay is an indication of compensatory mechanisms such as reduced arterial compliance and vasoconstriction. For a scale of 0% to 100%, with 100% representing normovolemia and 0% representing decompensation, linear regression of the HRDN feature results in root-mean-squared error of 16.9%, R2 of 0.72, and an area under the receiver operating curve for detecting decompensation of 0.88. These results are comparable to previously reported results from the more complex black box machine learning models. Clinical Relevance- A single physiologically interpretable feature measured from an arterial blood pressure waveform is shown to be effective in monitoring for blood loss and impending hemorrhagic shock based on data from a human lower-body negative pressure model of progressive central hypolemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop and psychometrically test an instrument measuring the attitudes and practices towards vital signs (VS) monitoring in nurses caring for children on paediatric wards (Ped-V scale). DESIGN AND METHODS This is a multicentre cross-validation study with a cross-sectional design. The Ped-V scale was developed by adapting the V-scale to the paediatric context and administered to a convenience sample of clinical nurses working in paediatric wards from January to May 2020. The content validity of the Ped-V scale was evaluated by a group of 10 experts. The psychometric properties of the scale were tested through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). RESULTS Overall, 10 Italian hospitals participated in the study, and 640 questionnaires were completed (87% female). At EFA a 30-item version of the scale and four factors emerged. This solution was confirmed at CFA: F1) 'Inaccuracy of VS monitoring and workload'; F2) 'Clinical competence and communication'; F3) 'Standardization and protocol adherence'; F4) 'Misconceptions about key indicators'. Cronbach's alpha ranged between 0.63 and 0.85. CONCLUSIONS The Ped-V scale is valid and reliable for use in the paediatric context to identify barriers concerning nurses' self-efficacy, competences, and knowledge of clinical indicators of paediatric critical deterioration, attitudes towards accuracy, standardization, communication to senior team members and the appropriate use of technology in paediatric VS monitoring. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The Ped-V scale may assist in identifying gaps in nurses' attitudes and devising strategies to change nurses' beliefs, knowledge, skills and decreasing individual, local cultural or organizational barriers towards VS monitoring.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable battlefield and civilian trauma deaths. Low-dose (i.e., an analgesic dose) morphine is recommended for use in the prehospital (i.e., field) setting. Morphine administration reduces hemorrhagic tolerance in rodents. However, it is unknown whether morphine impairs autonomic cardiovascular regulation and consequently reduces hemorrhagic tolerance in humans. Thus, the purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that low-dose morphine reduces hemorrhagic tolerance in conscious humans. Thirty adults (15 women/15 men; 29 ± 6 yr; 26 ± 4 kg·m-2, means ± SD) completed this randomized, crossover, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. One minute after intravenous administration of morphine (5 mg) or placebo (saline), we used a presyncopal limited progressive lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) protocol to determine hemorrhagic tolerance. Hemorrhagic tolerance was quantified as a cumulative stress index (mmHg·min), which was compared between trials using a Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. We also compared muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA; microneurography) and beat-to-beat blood pressure (photoplethysmography) during the LBNP test using mixed-effects analyses [time (LBNP stage) × trial]. Median LBNP tolerance was lower during morphine trials (placebo: 692 [473-997] vs. morphine: 385 [251-728] mmHg·min, P < 0.001, CI: -394 to -128). Systolic blood pressure was 8 mmHg lower during moderate central hypovolemia during morphine trials (post hoc P = 0.02; time: P < 0.001, trial: P = 0.13, interaction: P = 0.006). MSNA burst frequency responses were not different between trials (time: P < 0.001, trial: P = 0.80, interaction: P = 0.51). These data demonstrate that low-dose morphine reduces hemorrhagic tolerance in conscious humans. Thus, morphine is not an ideal analgesic for a hemorrhaging individual in the prehospital setting.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial, we found that tolerance to simulated hemorrhage was lower after low-dose morphine administration. Such reductions in hemorrhagic tolerance were observed without differences in MSNA burst frequency responses between morphine and placebo trials. These data, the first to be obtained in conscious humans, demonstrate that low-dose morphine reduces hemorrhagic tolerance. Thus, morphine is not an ideal analgesic for a hemorrhaging individual in the prehospital setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Field triage of trauma patients requires timely assessment of physiologic status to determine resuscitative needs. Vital signs and rudimentary assessments such as pulse character (PC) are used by first responders to guide decision making. The compensatory reserve measurement (CRM) has demonstrated utility as an easily interpretable method for assessing patient status. We hypothesized that the ability to identify injured patients requiring transfusion and other life-saving interventions (LSI) using a measurement of pulse character could be enhanced by the addition of the CRM. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study on 300 trauma patients admitted to a level I trauma center. CRM was recorded continuously after device placement on arrival. Patient demographics, field and trauma resuscitation unit vital signs, therapeutic interventions, and outcomes were collected. A field SBP <100 mmHg was utilized as a surrogate for abnormal PC as previously validated. A patient with a CRM threshold value of <60% was considered clinically compromised with a risk of onset of decompensated shock. Data were analyzed to assess the capacity of CRM and pulse character separately or in combination to predict LSI defined as need for transfusion, intubation, tube thoracostomy, or operative/ angiographic hemorrhage control. RESULTS An improvement in the predictive capability for LSI, transfusion, or a composite outcome was demonstrated by the combination of CRM and PC compared to either measure alone. CONCLUSIONS Combining PC assessment with CRM has the potential to enhance the recognition of injured patients requiring life-saving intervention thus improving sensitivity of decision support for prehospital providers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on previous experiments in nonhuman primates, we hypothesized that DO2 crit in humans is 5-6 ml O2 ·kg-1 min-1 . STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We measured the compensatory reserve (CRM) and calculated oxygen delivery (DO2 ) in 166 healthy, normotensive, nonsmoking subjects (97 males, 69 females) during progressive central hypovolemia induced by lower body negative pressure as a model of ongoing hemorrhage. Subjects were classified as having either high tolerance (HT; N = 111) or low tolerance (LT; N = 55) to central hypovolemia. RESULTS HT and LT groups were matched for age, weight, BMI, and vital signs, DO2 and CRM at baseline. The CRM-DO2 relationship was best fitted to a logarithmic model in HT subjects (amalgamated R2 = 0.971) and a second-order polynomial model in the LT group (amalgamated R2 = 0.991). Average DO2 crit for the entire subject cohort was estimated at 5.3 ml O2 ·kg-1 min-1 , but was ~14% lower in HT compared with LT subjects. The reduction in DO2 from 40% CRM to 20% CRM was 2-fold greater in the LT compared with the HT group. CONCLUSIONS Average DO2 crit in humans is 5.3 ml O2 ·kg-1 min-1 , but is ~14% lower in HT compared with LT subjects. The CRM-DO2 relationship is curvilinear in humans, and different when comparing HT and LT individuals. The threshold for an emergent monitoring signal should be recalibrated from 30% to 40% CRM given that the decline in DO2 from 40% CRM to 20% CRM for LT subjects is located on the steepest part of the CRM-DO2 relationship.

Abstract
Hemodynamic instability is frequently present in critically ill patients, primarily caused by a decreased preload, contractility, and/or afterload. We hypothesized that peripheral arterial blood pressure waveforms allow to differentiate between these underlying causes. In this in-silico experimental study, a computational cardiovascular model was used to simulate hemodynamic instability by decreasing blood volume, left ventricular contractility or systemic vascular resistance, and additionally adaptive and compensatory mechanisms. From the arterial pressure waveforms, 45 features describing the morphology were discerned and a sensitivity analysis and principal component analysis were performed, to quantitatively investigate their discriminative power. During hemodynamic instability, the arterial waveform morphology changed distinctively, for example, the slope of the systolic upstroke having a sensitivity of 2.02 for reduced preload, 0.80 for reduced contractility, and -0.02 for reduced afterload. It was possible to differentiate between the three underlying causes based on the derived features, as demonstrated by the first two principal components explaining 99% of the variance in waveforms. The features with a high correlation coefficient (>0.25) to these principal components are describing the systolic up- and downstroke, and the anacrotic and dicrotic notches of the waveforms. In this study, characteristic peripheral arterial waveform morphologies were identified that allow differentiation between deficits in preload, contractility, and afterload causing hemodynamic instability. These findings are confined to an in silico simulation and warrant further experimental and clinical research in order to prove clinical usability in daily practice.

BMC Med 2022; 20:109.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is one of the major clinical phenotypes of severe dengue. It is defined by significant plasma leak, leading to intravascular volume depletion and eventually cardiovascular collapse. The compensatory reserve Index (CRI) is a new physiological parameter, derived from feature analysis of the pulse arterial waveform that tracks real-time changes in central volume. We investigated the utility of CRI to predict recurrent shock in severe dengue patients admitted to the ICU. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study in the pediatric and adult intensive care units at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Patients were monitored with hourly clinical parameters and vital signs, in addition to continuous recording of the arterial waveform using pulse oximetry. The waveform data was wirelessly transmitted to a laptop where it was synchronized with the patient's clinical data. RESULTS One hundred three patients with suspected severe dengue were recruited to this study. Sixty-three patients had the minimum required dataset for analysis. Median age was 11 years (IQR 8-14 years). CRI had a negative correlation with heart rate and moderate negative association with blood pressure. CRI was found to predict recurrent shock within 12 h of being measured (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.54-3.26), P < 0.001). The median duration from CRI measurement to the first recurrent shock was 5.4 h (IQR 2.9-6.8). A CRI cutoff of 0.4 provided the best combination of sensitivity and specificity for predicting recurrent shock (0.66 [95% CI 0.47-0.85] and 0.86 [95% CI 0.80-0.92] respectively). CONCLUSION CRI is a useful non-invasive method for monitoring intravascular volume status in patients with severe dengue.

AI-Enabled Advanced Development for Assessing Low Circulating Blood Volume for Emergency Medical Care: Comparison of Compensatory Reserve Machine-Learning Algorithms. SENSORS 2022; 22:s22072642. [PMID: 35408255 PMCID: PMC9003258 DOI: 10.3390/s22072642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) has provided new capabilities to develop advanced medical monitoring sensors for detection of clinical conditions of low circulating blood volume such as hemorrhage. The purpose of this study was to compare for the first time the discriminative ability of two machine learning (ML) algorithms based on real-time feature analysis of arterial waveforms obtained from a non-invasive continuous blood pressure system (Finometer®) signal to predict the onset of decompensated shock: the compensatory reserve index (CRI) and the compensatory reserve metric (CRM). One hundred ninety-one healthy volunteers underwent progressive simulated hemorrhage using lower body negative pressure (LBNP). The least squares means and standard deviations for each measure were assessed by LBNP level and stratified by tolerance status (high vs. low tolerance to central hypovolemia). Generalized Linear Mixed Models were used to perform repeated measures logistic regression analysis by regressing the onset of decompensated shock on CRI and CRM. Sensitivity and specificity were assessed by calculation of receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) for CRI and CRM. Values for CRI and CRM were not distinguishable across levels of LBNP independent of LBNP tolerance classification, with CRM ROC AUC (0.9268) being statistically similar (p = 0.134) to CRI ROC AUC (0.9164). Both CRI and CRM ML algorithms displayed discriminative ability to predict decompensated shock to include individual subjects with varying levels of tolerance to central hypovolemia. Arterial waveform feature analysis provides a highly sensitive and specific monitoring approach for the detection of ongoing hemorrhage, particularly for those patients at greatest risk for early onset of decompensated shock and requirement for implementation of life-saving interventions.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock remains the leading cause of mortality in civilian trauma and battlefield settings. The ability of combat medics and other military medical personnel to obtain early identification and assessment of a bleeding casualty is hampered by the use of standard vital signs (VS) that fail to provide early predictive indicators of the onset of shock because of compensatory mechanisms. Over the past decade, the emergence and application of new technologies that incorporate the use of artificial intelligence have revealed that continuous, real-time arterial waveform analysis (AWFA) reflects the recruitment of such compensatory mechanism. As such, AWFA can provide early hemorrhage detection (HD) and indication of the onset of overt shock compared with standard VS. In this report, we provide for the first time a summary of clinical data collected in patients with varying conditions of blood loss, sepsis and resuscitation with direct comparison of AWFA and standard VS. Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve data clearly demonstrate that AWFA provides greater accuracy with early indicators for changes in blood volume compared to standard VS. A consistently greater sensitivity generated by AWFA compared to VS is associated with its ability to provide earlier HD while higher specificity reflects its propensity to distinguish 'poor' compensators (i.e., those with relatively low tolerance to blood loss) from 'good' compensators. The data presented in this report demonstrate that integration of AWFA into medical monitoring capabilities has the potential to improve clinical outcomes of casualties by providing earlier and individualized assessment of blood loss and resuscitation.

Abstract
Hypovolemia is a physiological state of reduced blood volume that can exist as either (1) absolute hypovolemia because of a lower circulating blood (plasma) volume for a given vascular space (dehydration, hemorrhage) or (2) relative hypovolemia resulting from an expanded vascular space (vasodilation) for a given circulating blood volume (e.g., heat stress, hypoxia, sepsis). This paper examines the physiology of hypovolemia and its association with health and performance problems common to occupational, military and sports medicine. We discuss the maturation of individual-specific compensatory reserve or decompensation measures for future wearable sensor systems to effectively manage these hypovolemia problems. The paper then presents areas of future work to allow such technologies to translate from lab settings to use as decision aids for managing hypovolemia. We envision a future that incorporates elements of the compensatory reserve measure with advances in sensing technology and multiple modalities of cardiovascular sensing, additional contextual measures, and advanced noise reduction algorithms into a fully wearable system, creating a robust and physiologically sound approach to manage physical work, fatigue, safety and health issues associated with hypovolemia for workers, warfighters and athletes in austere conditions.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of battlefield and civilian trauma deaths. Several pain medications, including fentanyl, are recommended for use in the prehospital (i.e., field setting) for a hemorrhaging solider. However, it is unknown whether fentanyl impairs arterial blood pressure (BP) regulation, which would compromise hemorrhagic tolerance. Thus, the purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that an analgesic dose of fentanyl impairs hemorrhagic tolerance in conscious humans. Twenty-eight volunteers (13 females) participated in this double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. We conducted a presyncopal limited progressive lower body negative pressure test (LBNP; a validated model to simulate hemorrhage) following intravenous administration of fentanyl (75 µg) or placebo (saline). We quantified tolerance as a cumulative stress index (mmHg·min), which was compared between trials using a paired, two-tailed t test. We also compared muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA; microneurography) and beat-to-beat BP (photoplethysmography) during the LBNP test using a mixed effects model [time (LBNP stage) × trial]. LBNP tolerance was not different between trials (fentanyl: 647 ± 386 vs. placebo: 676 ± 295 mmHg·min, P = 0.61, Cohen's d = 0.08). Increases in MSNA burst frequency (time: P < 0.01, trial: P = 0.29, interaction: P = 0.94) and reductions in mean BP (time: P < 0.01, trial: P = 0.50, interaction: P = 0.16) during LBNP were not different between trials. These data, the first to be obtained in conscious humans, demonstrate that administration of an analgesic dose of fentanyl does not alter MSNA or BP during profound central hypovolemia, nor does it impair tolerance to this simulated hemorrhagic insult.

Risk Factors for Intravenous Propacetamol-Induced Blood Pressure Drop in the Neurointensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Observational Study. Neurocrit Care 2021; 36:888-896.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous propacetamol is commonly used to control fever and pain in neurocritically ill patients in whom oral administration is often difficult. However, several studies reported that intravenous propacetamol may cause blood pressure drop. Thus, we aimed to investigate the occurrence and risk factors for intravenous propacetamol-induced blood pressure drop in neurocritically ill patients. METHODS This retrospective study included consecutive patients who were administered intravenous propacetamol in a neurointensive care unit at a single tertiary academic hospital between April 2013 and June 2020. The exact timing of intravenous propacetamol administration was collected from a database of the electronic barcode medication administration system. Blood pressure drop was defined as a systolic blood pressure below 90 mm Hg or a decrease by 30 mm Hg or more. Blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature were collected at baseline and within 2 h after intravenous propacetamol administration. The incidence of blood pressure drop was evaluated, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for blood pressure drop events. RESULTS A total of 16,586 instances of intravenous propacetamol administration in 4916 patients were eligible for this study. Intravenous propacetamol resulted in a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (baseline 131.1 ± 17.8 mm Hg; within 1 h 124.6 ± 17.3 mm Hg; between 1 and 2 h 123.4 ± 17.4 mm Hg; P < 0.01). The incidence of blood pressure drop events was 13.5% within 2 h after intravenous propacetamol. Older age, lower or higher baseline systolic blood pressure, fever, higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, and concomitant administration of vasopressors/inotropes or analgesics/sedatives were significant factors associated with the occurrence of blood pressure drop events after intravenous propacetamol administration. CONCLUSIONS Intravenous propacetamol can induce hemodynamic changes and blood pressure drop events in neurocritically ill patients. This study identified the risk factors for blood pressure drop events. On the basis of our results, judicious use of intravenous propacetamol is warranted for neurocritically ill patients with risk factors that make them more susceptible to hemodynamic changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early assessment of the clinical status of trauma patients is crucial for guiding the treatment strategy, and it requires a rapid and systematic approach. The aim of this report is to critically review the assessment parameters currently used in the prehospital setting to quantify blood loss in trauma. DATA SOURCES Studies regarding hemorrhagic shock in trauma were pooled from PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases using key words such as "hemorrhagic shock," "vital signs evaluation," "trauma," "blood loss," and "emergency medical service," alone or combined. STUDY SELECTION Articles published since 2009 in English and Italian were considered eligible if containing data on assessment parameters in blood loss in adults. DATA EXTRACTION Sixteen articles matching the inclusion criteria were considered in our study. DATA SYNTHESIS Current prehospital assessment measures lack precise correlation with blood loss. CONCLUSIONS Traditional assessment parameters such as heart rate, systolic blood pressure, shock index, and Glasgow Coma Scale score often lag in providing accurate blood loss assessment. The current literature supports the need for a noninvasive, continuously monitored assessment parameter to identify early shock in the prehospital setting.

Abstract
Hypovolemia remains the leading cause of preventable death in trauma cases. Recent research has demonstrated that using noninvasive continuous waveforms rather than traditional vital signs improves accuracy in early detection of hypovolemia to assist in triage and resuscitation. This work evaluates random forest models trained on different subsets of data from a pig model (n = 6) of absolute (bleeding) and relative (nitroglycerin-induced vasodilation) progressive hypovolemia (to 20% decrease in mean arterial pressure) and resuscitation. Features for the models were derived from a multi-modal set of wearable sensors, comprised of the electrocardiogram (ECG), seismocardiogram (SCG) and reflective photoplethysmogram (RPPG) and were normalized to each subject.s baseline. The median RMSE between predicted and actual percent progression towards cardiovascular decompensation for the best model was 30.5% during the relative period, 16.8% during absolute and 22.1% during resuscitation. The least squares best fit line over the mean aggregated predictions had a slope of 0.65 and intercept of 12.3, with an R2 value of 0.93. When transitioned to a binary classification problem to identify decompensation, this model achieved an AUROC of 0.80. This study: a) developed a global model incorporating ECG, SCG and RPPG features for estimating individual-specific decompensation from progressive relative and absolute hypovolemia and resuscitation; b) demonstrated SCG as the most important modality to predict decompensation; c) demonstrated efficacy of random forest models trained on different data subsets; and d) demonstrated adding training data from two discrete forms of hypovolemia increases prediction accuracy for the other form of hypovolemia and resuscitation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We conducted a prospective observational study on 205 trauma patients at a level I trauma facility to test the hypothesis that a compensatory reserve measurement (CRM) would identify higher risk for progression to shock and/or need a life-saving interventions (LSIs) earlier than systolic blood pressure (SBP) and blood lactate (LAC). METHODS A composite outcome metric included blood transfusion, procedural LSI, and mortality. Discrete measures assessed as abnormal (ab) were SBP <90 mmHg, CRM <60%, and LAC >2.0. A graded categorization of shock was defined as: no shock (normal [n] SBP [n-SBP], n-CRM, n-LAC); sub-clinical shock (ab-CRM, n-SBP, n-LAC); occult shock (n-SBP, ab-CRM, ab-LAC); or overt shock (ab-SBP, ab-CRM, ab-LAC). RESULTS Three patients displayed overt shock, 53 displayed sub-clinical shock, and 149 displayed no shock. After incorporating lactate into the analysis, 86 patients demonstrated no shock, 25 were classified as sub-clinical shock, 91 were classified as occult shock, and 3 were characterized as overt shock. Each shock subcategory revealed a graded increase requiring LSI and transfusion. Initial CRM was associated with progression to shock (odds ratio = 0.97; p < .001) at an earlier time than SBP or LAC. CONCLUSIONS Initial CRM uncovers a clinically relevant subset of patients who are not detected by SBP and LAC. Our results suggest CRM could be used to more expeditiously identify injured patients likely to deteriorate to shock, with requirements for blood transfusion or procedural LSI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Compensatory Reserve Measurement (CRM) is a novel method used to provide early assessment of shock based on arterial wave form morphology changes. We hypothesized that (1) CRM would be significantly lower in those trauma patients who received life-saving interventions compared with those not receiving interventions, and (2) CRM in patients who received interventions would recover after the intervention was performed. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We captured vital signs along with analog arterial waveform data from trauma patients meeting major activation criteria using a prospective study design. Study team members tracked interventions throughout their emergency department stay. RESULTS Ninety subjects met inclusion with 13 receiving a blood product and 10 a major airway intervention. Most trauma was blunt (69%) with motor vehicle collisions making up the largest proportion (37%) of injury mechanism. Patients receiving blood products had lower CRM values just prior to administration versus those who did not (50% versus 58%, p = .045), and lower systolic pressure (SBP; 95 versus 123 mmHg, p = .005), diastolic (DBP; 62 versus 79, p = .007), and mean arterial pressure (MAP; 75 versus 95, p = .006), and a higher pulse rate (HR; 101 versus 89 bpm, p = .039). Patients receiving an airway intervention had lower CRM values just prior to administration versus those who did not (48% versus 58%, p = .062); however, SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR were not statistically distinguishable (p ≥ .645). CONCLUSIONS Our results support our hypotheses that the CRM distinguished those patients who received blood or an airway intervention from those who did not, and increased appropriately after interventions were performed.

Abstract
Acute hemorrhage in small animals results from traumatic and non-traumatic causes. This review seeks to describe current understanding of the resuscitation of the acutely hemorrhaging small animal (dog and cat) veterinary patient through evaluation of pre-clinical canine models of hemorrhage and resuscitation, clinical research in dogs and cats, and selected extrapolation from human medicine. The physiologic dose and response to whole blood loss in the canine patient is repeatable both in anesthetized and awake animals and is primarily characterized clinically by increased heart rate, decreased systolic blood pressure, and increased shock index and biochemically by increased lactate and lower base excess. Previously, initial resuscitation in these patients included immediate volume support with crystalloid and/or colloid, regardless of total volume, with a target to replace lost vascular volume and bring blood pressure back to normal. Newer research now supports prioritizing hemorrhage control in conjunction with judicious crystalloid administration followed by early consideration for administration of platelets, plasma and red blood during the resuscitation phase. This approach minimizes blood loss, ameliorates coagulopathy, restores oxygen delivery and correct changes in the glycocalyx. There are many hurdles in the application of this approach in clinical veterinary medicine including the speed with which the bleeding source is controlled and the rapid availability of blood component therapy. Recommendations regarding the clinical approach to volume resuscitation in the acutely hemorrhaging veterinary patient are made based on the canine pre-clinical, veterinary clinical and human literature reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Wearable systems that enable continuous non-invasive monitoring of hemodynamic parameters can aid in cardiac health evaluation in non-hospital settings. The seismocardiogram (SCG) is a non-invasively acquired cardiovascular biosignal for which timings of fiducial points, like aortic valve opening (AO) and aortic valve closing (AC), can enable estimation of key hemodynamic parameters. However, SCG is susceptible to motion artifacts, making accurate estimation of these points difficult when corrupted by high-g or in-band vibration artifacts. In this paper, a novel denoising pipeline is proposed that removes vehicle-vibration artifacts from corrupted SCG beats for accurate fiducial point detection. METHODS The noisy SCG signal is decomposed with ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD). Corrupted segments of the decomposed signal are then identified and removed using the quasi-periodicity of the SCG. Signal quality assessment of the reconstructed SCG beats then removes unreliable beats before feature extraction. The overall approach is validated on simulated vehicle-corrupted SCG generated by adding real subway collected vibration signals onto clean SCG. RESULTS SNR increased by 8.1dB in the AO complex and 11.5dB in the AC complex of the SCG signal. Hemodynamic timing estimation errors reduced by 16.5\% for pre-ejection period (PEP), 67.2\% for left ventricular ejection time (LVET), and 57.7\% for PEP/LVET---a feature previously determined in prior work to be of great importance for assessing blood volume status during hemorrhage. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that usable SCG signals can be recovered from vehicle-corrupted SCG signals using the presented denoising framework, allowing for accurate hemodynamic timing estimation. SIGNIFICANCE Reliable hemodynamic estimates from vehicle-corrupted SCG signals will enable the adoption of the SCG in outside-of-hospital settings.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock can be mitigated by timely and accurate resuscitation designed to restore adequate delivery of oxygen (DO2) by increasing cardiac output (CO). However, standard care of using systolic blood pressure (SBP) as a guide for resuscitation may be ineffective and can potentially be associated with increased morbidity. We have developed a novel vital sign called the compensatory reserve measurement (CRM) generated from analysis of arterial pulse waveform feature changes that has been validated in experimental and clinical models of hemorrhage. We tested the hypothesis that thresholds of DO2 could be accurately defined by CRM, a noninvasive clinical tool, while avoiding over-resuscitation during whole blood resuscitation following a 25% hemorrhage in nonhuman primates. To accomplish this, adult male baboons (n = 12) were exposed to a progressive controlled hemorrhage while sedated that resulted in an average (± SEM) maximal reduction of 508 ± 18 mL of their estimated circulating blood volume of 2,130 ± 60 mL based on body weight. CRM increased from 6 ± 0.01% at the end of hemorrhage to 70 ± 0.02% at the end of resuscitation. By linear regression, CRM values of 6% (end of hemorrhage), 30%, 60%, and 70% (end of resuscitation) corresponded to calculated DO2 values of 5.9 ± 0.34, 7.5 ± 0.87, 9.3 ± 0.76, and 11.6 ± 1.3 mL O2·kg·min during resuscitation. As such, return of CRM to ∼65% during resuscitation required only ∼400 mL to restore SBP to 128 ± 6 mmHg, whereas total blood volume replacement resulted in over-resuscitation as indicated by a SBP of 140 ± 7 mmHg compared with an average baseline value of 125 ± 5 mmHg. Consistent with our hypothesis, thresholds of calculated DO2 were associated with specific CRM values. A target resuscitation CRM value of ∼65% minimized the requirement for whole blood while avoiding over-resuscitation. Furthermore, 0% CRM provided a noninvasive metric for determining critical DO2 at approximately 5.3 mL O2·kg·min.

Tourniquets as a haemorrhage control measure in military and civilian care settings: An integrative review. J Clin Nurs 2021. [PMID: 33969561 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.15834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 04/14/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of review was to describe and synthesise the evidence on the use of tourniquets to control haemorrhages, summarising both civilian and military use. BACKGROUND Trauma-related haemorrhage constitutes one of the most preventable deaths among injured patients, particularly in multi-casualty incidents and disasters. In this context, safe instruments such as tourniquets are essential to help healthcare professionals to minimise loss of life and maximise patient recovery. DESIGN AND METHODS An integrative review was conducted in Medline, Nursing & Allied Health Premium, and Health & Medical Collection, using published data until March 2021 and following the PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS A total of 25 articles were included. Evidence has been synthesised to understand the use of different types of tourniquets, environment of application, indication for their placement and potential complications associated with tourniquet placement. CONCLUSIONS Commercial tourniquets such as Combat Application Tourniquet or Emergency Tourniquet models are a valuable and safe instrument for haemorrhage control in both military and civilian out-of-hospital care settings. Nurses, as part of emergency teams, and other professionals should be aware that there is a possibility of adverse complications, but they are directly proportional to the time of tourniquet placement and generally temporary. In addition, national and international guidelines ensure the need for all civilian emergency services to be equipped with these devices, as well as for the training of healthcare professionals and first responders in their use. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Despite the lack of complications in the use of tourniquets in these cases, their use has been a matter of debate for decades. In this sense, this review yields up-to-date guidelines in the use of tourniquets, their recommendations and their significance among professionals to manage complicated situations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early prediction of the acute hypotensive episode (AHE) in critically ill patients has the potential to improve outcomes. In this study, we apply different machine learning algorithms to the MIMIC III Physionet dataset, containing more than 60,000 real-world intensive care unit records, to test commonly used machine learning technologies and compare their performances. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five classification methods including K-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, and a deep learning method called long short-term memory are applied to predict an AHE 30 minutes in advance. An analysis comparing model performance when including versus excluding invasive features was conducted. To further study the pattern of the underlying mean arterial pressure (MAP), we apply a regression method to predict the continuous MAP values using linear regression over the next 60 minutes. RESULTS Support vector machine yields the best performance in terms of recall (84%). Including the invasive features in the classification improves the performance significantly with both recall and precision increasing by more than 20 percentage points. We were able to predict the MAP with a root mean square error (a frequently used measure of the differences between the predicted values and the observed values) of 10 mmHg 60 minutes in the future. After converting continuous MAP predictions into AHE binary predictions, we achieve a 91% recall and 68% precision. In addition to predicting AHE, the MAP predictions provide clinically useful information regarding the timing and severity of the AHE occurrence. CONCLUSION We were able to predict AHE with precision and recall above 80% 30 minutes in advance with the large real-world dataset. The prediction of regression model can provide a more fine-grained, interpretable signal to practitioners. Model performance is improved by the inclusion of invasive features in predicting AHE, when compared to predicting the AHE based on only the available, restricted set of noninvasive technologies. This demonstrates the importance of exploring more noninvasive technologies for AHE prediction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ability to accurately detect hypotension in trauma patients at the earliest possible time is important in improving trauma outcomes. The earlier an accurate detection can be made, the more time is available to take corrective action. Currently, there is limited research on combining multiple physiological signals for an early detection of hemorrhagic shock. We studied the viability of early detection of hypotension based on multiple physiologic signals and machine learning methods. We explored proof of concept with a small (5 minutes) prediction window for application of machine learning tools and multiple physiologic signals to detecting hypotension. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multivariate physiological signals from a preexisting dataset generated by an experimental hemorrhage model were employed. These experiments were conducted previously by another research group and the data made available publicly through a web portal. This dataset is among the few publicly available which incorporate measurement of multiple physiological signals from large animals during experimental hemorrhage. The data included two hemorrhage studies involving eight sheep. Supervised machine learning experiments were conducted in order to develop deep learning (viz., long short-term memory or LSTM), ensemble learning (viz., random forest), and classical learning (viz., support vector machine or SVM) models for the identification of physiological signals that can detect whether or not overall blood loss exceeds a predefined threshold 5 minutes ahead of time. To evaluate the performance of the machine learning technologies, 3-fold cross-validation was conducted and precision (also called positive predictive value) and recall (also called sensitivity) values were compared. As a first step in this development process, 5 minutes prediction windows were utilized. RESULTS The results showed that SVM and random forest outperform LSTM neural networks, likely because LSTM tends to overfit the data on small sized datasets. Random forest has the highest recall (84%) with 56% precision while SVM has 62% recall with 82% precision. Upon analyzing the feature importance, it was observed that electrocardiogram has the highest significance while arterial blood pressure has the least importance among all other signals. CONCLUSION In this research, we explored the viability of early detection of hypotension based on multiple signals in a preexisting animal hemorrhage dataset. The results show that a multivariate approach might be more effective than univariate approaches for this detection task.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early warning systems that utilize dense physiologic data and machine learning may aid prediction of decompensation after congenital heart surgery (CHS). The Compensatory Reserve Index (CRI) analyzes changing features of the pulse waveform to predict hemodynamic decompensation in adults, but it has never been studied after CHS. This study sought to understand the feasibility, safety, and potential utility of CRI monitoring after CHS with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS A single-center prospective pilot cohort of patients undergoing pulmonary valve replacement was studied. Compensatory Reserve Index was continuously measured from preoperative baseline through the first 24 postoperative hours. Average CRI values during selected procedural phases were compared between patients with an intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) <3 days versus LOS ≥3 days. RESULTS Twenty-three patients were enrolled. On average, 17,445 (±3,152) CRI data points were collected and 0.33% (±0.40) of data were missing per patient. There were no adverse events related to monitoring. Five (21.7%) patients had an ICU LOS ≥3 days. Compared to the ICU LOS <3 days group, the ICU LOS ≥3 days group had a greater decrease in CRI from baseline to immediately after CPB (-0.3 ± 0.1 vs -0.1 ± 0.2, P = .003) and were less likely to recover to baseline CRI during the monitoring period (20% vs 83%, P = .017). CONCLUSIONS Compensatory Reserve Index monitoring after CHS with CPB seems feasible and safe. Early changes in CRI may precede meaningful clinical outcomes, but this requires further study.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of death following traumatic injuries in the United States. Much of the previous work in assessing the physiology and pathophysiology underlying blood loss has focused on descriptive measures of hemodynamic responses such as blood pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, and vascular resistance as indicators of changes in organ perfusion. More recent work has shifted the focus toward understanding mechanisms of compensation for reduced systemic delivery and cellular utilization of oxygen as a more comprehensive approach to understanding the complex physiologic changes that occur following and during blood loss. In this article, we begin with applying dimensional analysis for comparison of animal models, and progress to descriptions of various physiological consequences of hemorrhage. We then introduce the complementary side of compensation by detailing the complexity and integration of various compensatory mechanisms that are activated from the initiation of hemorrhage and serve to maintain adequate vital organ perfusion and hemodynamic stability in the scenario of reduced systemic delivery of oxygen until the onset of hemodynamic decompensation. New data are introduced that challenge legacy concepts related to mechanisms that underlie baroreflex functions and provide novel insights into the measurement of the integrated response of compensation to central hypovolemia known as the compensatory reserve. The impact of demographic and environmental factors on tolerance to hemorrhage is also reviewed. Finally, we describe how understanding the physiology of compensation can be translated to applications for early assessment of the clinical status and accurate triage of hypovolemic and hypotensive patients. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current out-of-hospital protocols to determine hemorrhagic shock in civilian trauma systems rely on standard vital signs with military guidelines relying on heart rate and strength of the radial pulse on palpation, all of which have proven to provide little forewarning for the need to implement early intervention prior to decompensation. We tested the hypothesis that addition of a real-time decision-assist machine-learning algorithm, the compensatory reserve measurement (CRM), used by combat medics could shorten the time required to identify the need for intervention in an unstable patient during a hemorrhage profile as compared with vital signs alone. METHODS We randomized combat medics from the Army Medical Department Center and School Health Readiness Center of Excellence into three groups: group 1 viewed a display of no simulated hemorrhage and unchanging vital signs as a control (n = 24), group 2 viewed a display of simulated hemorrhage and changing vital signs alone (hemorrhage; n = 31), and group 3 viewed a display of changing vital signs with the addition of the CRM (hemorrhage + CRM; n = 22). Participants were asked to push a computer key when they believed the patient was becoming unstable and needed medical intervention. RESULTS The average time of 11.0 minutes (95% confidence interval, 8.7-13.3 minutes) required by the hemorrhage + CRM group to identify an unstable patient (i.e., stop the video sequence) was less by more than 40% (p < 0.01) compared with 18.9 minutes (95% confidence interval, 17.2-20.5 minutes) in the hemorrhage group. CONCLUSION The use of a machine-learning monitoring technology designed to measure the capacity to compensate for central blood volume loss resulted in reduced time required by combat medics to identify impending hemodynamic instability.

Abstract
PURPOSE The diagnosis of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome traditionally involves orthostatic vitals evaluation. The Compensatory Reserve Index is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared algorithm that analyses photoplethysmogram waveforms in real time to trend subtle waveform features associated with varying degrees of central volume loss, from normovolemia to decompensation. We hypothesised that patients who met physiologic criteria for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome would have greater changes in Compensatory Reserve Index with orthostatic vitals. METHODS Orthostatic vitals and Compensatory Reserve Index values were assessed in individuals previously diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome and healthy controls aged 12-21 years. Adolescents were grouped for comparison based on whether they met heart rate criteria for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome (physiologic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome). RESULTS Sixty-one patients were included. Eighteen percent of patients with an existing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome diagnosis met heart rate criteria, and these patients had significantly greater supine to standing change in Compensatory Reserve Index (0.67 vs. 0.51; p<0.001). The optimal change in Compensatory Reserve Index for physiologic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome was 0.60. Patients with physiologic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome were more likely to report previous diagnoses of anxiety or depression (p = 0.054, 0.042). CONCLUSION An accurate diagnosis of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome may be confounded by related comorbidities. Only 18% (8/44) of previously diagnosed Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome patients met heart rate criteria. Findings support the utility of objective physiologic measures, such as the Compensatory Reserve Index, to more accurately identify patients with true autonomic dysfunction.

Abstract
Vital signs historically served as the primary method to triage patients and resources for trauma and emergency care, but have failed to provide clinically-meaningful predictive information about patient clinical status. In this review, a framework is presented that focuses on potential wearable sensor technologies that can harness necessary electronic physiological signal integration with a current state-of-the-art predictive machine-learning algorithm that provides early clinical assessment of hypovolemia status to impact patient outcome. The ability to study the physiology of hemorrhage using a human model of progressive central hypovolemia led to the development of a novel machine-learning algorithm known as the compensatory reserve measurement (CRM). Greater sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy to detect hemorrhage and onset of decompensated shock has been demonstrated by the CRM when compared to all standard vital signs and hemodynamic variables. The development of CRM revealed that continuous measurements of changes in arterial waveform features represented the most integrated signal of physiological compensation for conditions of reduced systemic oxygen delivery. In this review, detailed analysis of sensor technologies that include photoplethysmography, tonometry, ultrasound-based blood pressure, and cardiogenic vibration are identified as potential candidates for harnessing arterial waveform analog features required for real-time calculation of CRM. The integration of wearable sensors with the CRM algorithm provides a potentially powerful medical monitoring advancement to save civilian and military lives in emergency medical settings.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Haemorrhage is the leading cause of battlefield and civilian trauma deaths. Given that a haemorrhagic injury on the battlefield is almost always associated with pain, it is paramount that the administered pain medication does not disrupt the physiological mechanisms that are beneficial in defending against the haemorrhagic insult. Current guidelines from the US Army's Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) for the selection of pain medications administered to a haemorrhaging soldier are based upon limited scientific evidence, with the clear majority of supporting studies being conducted on anaesthetized animals. Specifically, the influence of low-dose ketamine, one of three analgesics employed in the pre-hospital setting by the US Army, on haemorrhagic tolerance in humans is unknown. For the first time in conscious males and females, the findings of the present study demonstrate that the administration of an analgesic dose of ketamine does not compromise tolerance to a simulated haemorrhagic insult. Increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity during progressive lower-body negative pressure were not different between trials. Despite the lack of differences for muscle sympathetic nerve activity responses, mean blood pressure and heart rate were higher during moderate hypovolemia after ketamine vs. placebo administration. ABSTRACT Haemorrhage is the leading cause of battlefield and civilian trauma deaths. For a haemorrhaging soldier, there are several pain medications (e.g. ketamine) recommended for use in the prehospital, field setting. However, the data to support these recommendations are primarily limited to studies in animals. Therefore, it is unknown whether ketamine adversely affects physiological mechanisms responsible for maintenance of arterial blood pressure (BP) during haemorrhage in humans. In humans, ketamine has been demonstrated to raise resting BP, although it has not been studied with the concomitant central hypovolemia that occurs during haemorrhage. Thus, the present study aimed to test the hypothesis that ketamine does not impair haemorrhagic tolerance in humans. Thirty volunteers (15 females) participated in this double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. A pre-syncopal limited progressive lower-body negative pressure (LBNP; a validated model for simulating haemorrhage) test was conducted following the administration of ketamine (20 mg) or placebo (saline). Tolerance was quantified as a cumulative stress index and compared between trials using a paired, two-tailed t test. We compared muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA; microneurography), beat-to-beat BP (photoplethysmography) and heart rate (electrocardiogram) responses during the LBNP test using a mixed effects model (time [LBNP stage] × drug). Tolerance to the LBNP test was not different between trials (Ketamine: 635 ± 391 vs. Placebo: 652 ± 360 mmHg‧min, p = 0.77). Increases in MSNA burst frequency (time: P < 0.01, trial: p = 0.27, interaction: p = 0.39) during LBNP stages were no different between trials. Despite the lack of differences for MSNA responses, mean BP (time: P < 0.01, trial: P < 0.01, interaction: p = 0.01) and heart rate (time: P < 0.01, trial: P < 0.01, interaction: P < 0.01) were higher during moderate hypovolemia after ketamine vs. placebo administration (P < 0.05 for all, post hoc), but not at the end of LBNP. These data, which are the first to be obtained in conscious humans, demonstrate that the administration of low-dose ketamine does not impair tolerance to simulated haemorrhage or mechanisms responsible for maintenance of BP.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to examine the characteristics of blood lactate in neonates
undergoing mechanical ventilation in Tibet. Methods We recruited 67 neonates undergoing mechanical ventilation in Naqu People’s
Hospital as the plateau observation group and 94 neonates undergoing
mechanical ventilation in Shengjing Hospital as the control group. We
analyzed the differences in lactate levels between the two groups. Results The lactate clearance rates of neonates with asphyxia and those with
respiratory distress syndrome were significantly lower in the plateau group
than in the control group. Lactate levels in neonates who died in the
plateau group were significantly higher and the lactate clearance rate was
significantly lower than those in neonates who survived. The cut-off point
for the lactate clearance rate at 6 hours for predicting mortality was 6.09%
in the plateau group. Conclusion The lactate clearance rate of neonates on mechanical ventilation in the
plateau area is lower than that in neonates in the non-plateau area. The
lactate clearance rate at 6 hours is important for evaluating the prognoses
of critical neonates in plateau areas.
