Abstract
The need to reduce the dose of intravenous anesthetic in the setting of hemorrhagic shock is a well-established clinical dogma. Considered collectively,; the body of information concerning the behavior of intravenous anesthetics during hemorrhagic shock, drawn from animal and human data, confirms that clinical dogma and informs the rational selection and administration of intravenous anesthetics in the setting of hemorrhagic shock. The physiologic changes during hemorrhagic shock can alter pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous anesthetics. Decreased size of the central compartment and central clearance caused by shock physiology lead to an altered dose-concentration relationship. For most agents and adjuncts, shock leads to substantially higher concentrations and increased effect. The notable exception is etomidate, which has relatively unchanged pharmacokinetics during shock. Increased concentrations lead to increased primary effect as well as increased side effects, notably cardiovascular effects. Pharmacokinetic changes are essentially reversed for all agents by fluid resuscitation. Propofol is unique among agents in that, in addition to the pharmacokinetic changes, it exhibits increased potency during shock. The pharmacodynamic changes of propofol persist despite fluid resuscitation. The persistence of these pharmacodynamic changes during shock is unlikely to be due to increased endogenous opiates, but is most likely due to increased fraction of unbound propofol. The stage of shock also appears to influence the pharmacologic changes. The changes are more rapid and pronounced as shock physiology progresses to the uncompensated stage. Although scant, human data corroborate the findings of animal studies. Both the animal and human data inform the rational selection and administration of intravenous anesthetics in the setting of hemorrhagic shock. The well-entrenched clinical dogma that etomidate is a preferred induction agent in patients experiencing hemorrhagic shock is firmly supported by the evidence. Propofol is a poor choice for induction or maintenance of anesthesia in severely bleeding patients, even with resuscitation; this can include emergent trauma cases or scheduled cases that routinely have mild or moderate blood loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bispectral index for measurement of anesthetic depth may be modified by extreme hypotension during hemorrhagic shock. In this study, the influence of progressive hemorrhage and subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the bispectral index was investigated under controlled anesthetic depth. METHODS Fifteen swine were anesthetized through inhalation of isoflurane under bispectral index monitoring. Hemorrhagic shock was induced using a stepwise hemorrhage model in which 20%, 10%, and 10% of estimated blood volume were removed over three 30-minute periods and then 5% was removed every 30 minutes until the mean arterial pressure was less than 10 mm Hg. After reaching this criterion, chest compression with 0.2-mg/kg epinephrine and hydroxyethyl starch infusion was performed for 20 minutes or until the mean arterial pressure exceeded 50 mm Hg. The pharmacodynamics of the isoflurane effect was examined before hemorrhage, after 40% bleeding, and after resuscitation. RESULTS A mean (SD) volume of 836 (78) mL of blood was drained before resuscitation. The bispectral index suddenly decreased at a mean (SD) arterial pressure of 22 (3) mm Hg and showed isoelectric activity in most animals before resuscitation. Eight pigs were resuscitated, and the bispectral index recovered during a range of periods after recovery of the mean arterial pressure. The pharmacodynamic effect of isoflurane did not change after 40% bleeding but increased after resuscitation, with the alteration correlated with the time for resuscitation. CONCLUSION In hemorrhagic shock, the bispectral index merely reflects the anesthetic depth until development of lethal hypotension at which brain electrical activity cannot be sustained. After recovery from depression, the potency of isoflurane can increase depending on the cerebral hypoperfusion time. The increased bispectral index for anesthetics after resuscitation might reflect the degree of cerebral damage due to hypoperfusion.

Abstract
Forensic toxicology is the study and practice of the application of toxicology to the purposes of the law. The relevance of any finding is determined, in the first instance, by the nature and integrity of the specimen(s) submitted for analysis. This means that there are several specific challenges to select and collect specimens for ante-mortem and post-mortem toxicology investigation. Post-mortem specimens may be numerous and can endow some special difficulties compared to clinical specimens, namely those resulting from autolytic and putrefactive changes. Storage stability is also an important issue to be considered during the pre-analytic phase, since its consideration should facilitate the assessment of sample quality and the analytical result obtained from that sample. The knowledge on degradation mechanisms and methods to increase storage stability may enable the forensic toxicologist to circumvent possible difficulties. Therefore, advantages and limitations of specimen preservation procedures are thoroughfully discussed in this review. Presently, harmonized protocols for sampling in suspected intoxications would have obvious utility. In the present article an overview is given on sampling procedures for routinely collected specimens as well as on alternative specimens that may provide additional information on the route and timing of exposure to a specific xenobiotic. Last, but not least, a discussion on possible bias that can influence the interpretation of toxicological results is provided. This comprehensive review article is intented as a significant help for forensic toxicologists to accomplish their frequently overwhelming mission.

Abstract
Extended blood loss results in several compensatory physiological mechanisms, including transfer of extravascular fluid into the blood circulation. If drugs are present in the body, this fluid exchange may imply that blood drug concentrations found in a trauma victim may differ from the concentrations present at the time of the trauma. To address this issue, an animal model was used to investigate the influence of blood loss on pre-existing levels of the antidepressant drug citalopram and its demethylated metabolites. Rats were administered citalopram either acutely (40 mg/kg, orally) or chronically (20 mg/kg daily, subcutaneously) for 6 days using osmotic pumps. In the experimental rats, blood loss was accomplished by withdrawing 0.8 mL blood at 10 min intervals during 70 min. In the control rats, blood was withdrawn at 0 and 70 min only. Blood, brain and lung drug concentrations were analyzed with an enantioselective HPLC method. In the chronically treated rats, the ratios between final and initial citalopram concentrations were 1.08 +/- 0.15 and 1.01 +/- 0.09 in the experimental rats and controls, respectively, indicating no major effect of blood loss. In contrast, acute oral administration resulted in increased ratios in the exsanguinated rats as compared to controls (1.84 +/- 0.50 versus 0.73 +/- 0.07; p = 0.0495). In conclusion, the observation of increased blood drug levels in the acute oral rats indicates that absorption of fluid from the gastrointestinal tract may be important in the intravascular refill. Further, in the interpretation of post-mortem blood levels of drugs, these physiological mechanisms should be taken into account.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of hypovolemia on the distribution of imipenem in muscle extracellular fluid determined by microdialysis in awake rats. Microdialysis probes were inserted into the jugular vein and hind leg muscle. Imipenem recoveries in muscle and blood were determined in each rat by retrodialysis by drug before drug administration. Hypovolemia was induced by removing 40% of the initial blood volume over 30 min. Imipenem was infused intravenously at a dose of 70 mg . kg(-1) over 30 min, and microdialysis samples were collected for 120 min from hypovolemic (n = 8) and control (n = 8) rats. The decay of the free concentrations in blood and muscle with time were monoexponential, and the concentration profiles in muscle and blood were virtually superimposed in both groups. Accordingly, the ratios of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) for tissue (muscle) to the AUC for blood were always virtually equal to 1. Hypovolemia induced a 23% decrease in the clearance (P < 0.05) of imipenem, with no statistically significant alteration of its volume of distribution. This study showed that imipenem elimination was altered in hypovolemic rats, probably due to decreased renal blood flow, but its distribution characteristics were not. In particular, free imipenem concentrations in blood and muscle were always virtually identical.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Opioids, both endogenous and exogenous, have a strong influence on the renal function through different mechanisms, producing changes in the renal excretion of water and sodium. Several studies have demonstrated that opioids influence renal function, according to the agonist profile used. Mu, kappa, and delta agonists produce different renal effects, although the mechanisms remain unclear. Experimental data have given the input for a possible therapeutic role of kappa agonists for some specific conditions, for example, in treating water retention or hyponatremia occurring in patients who have hepatic cirrhosis with ascites. On the other hand, changes in renal function might strongly condition the use of opioids in the clinical setting, and the knowledge of the relationship between opioids and renal function is mandatory for a tailored approach to accommodate the individual responses in terms of pain intensity, tolerance, and adverse effects experienced by these groups of patients. The influence of renal function when using different opioids in the clinical setting is reviewed, as well as problems related to transplantation, renal damage induced by opioid addiction, and problems related to the use of opioid antagonists in such conditions. PERSPECTIVE Endogenous opioids exert physiologic effects on renal function, and the use of opioids may have an influence on renal activity. Renal impairment has a serious impact on the clearance of most opioids used in the clinical setting. Biochemical and clinical monitoring is mandatory to prevent serious complications.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We studied the influence of hemorrhagic shock on the pharmacology of etomidate in swine. Sixteen swine were randomly assigned to control and shock groups. The shock group was bled to a mean arterial blood pressure of 50 mm Hg and held there until 30 mL/kg blood was removed. Etomidate 300 micro g x kg(-1) x min(-1) was infused for 10 min to both groups. Fifteen arterial samples were collected until 180 min after the infusion began to determine drug concentration. Pharmacokinetic variables for each group were estimated by using a three-compartment model. The bispectral index scale was used as a measure of drug effect. The pharmacodynamics were characterized by using a sigmoid inhibitory maximal effect model. The raw data revealed a 25% increase in the plasma etomidate concentration at the end of the 10-min infusion which resolved after termination of the infusion in the shock group. The pharmacokinetic analysis revealed subtle changes in the variable estimates between groups. The etomidate infusion produced a similar Bispectral Index Scale change in both groups. These results demonstrated that, unlike the influence of hemorrhagic shock on other sedative hypnotics and opioids, moderate hemorrhagic shock produced minimal changes in the pharmacokinetics and no change in the pharmacodynamics of etomidate. IMPLICATIONS Hemorrhagic shock produced minimal changes in the pharmacokinetics and no change in the pharmacodynamics of etomidate in swine. These results suggest that, unlike other sedative hypnotics and opioids, minimal adjustment in the dose of etomidate is required to achieve the same drug effect during hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To investigate the residual effects of hemorrhagic shock on pain reaction and c-fos expression, we performed formalin tests after hemorrhage and reinfusion in rats. Twenty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into Control (n = 10) and Postshock (n = 10) groups. The mean blood pressure of the Control group was 100-120 mm Hg, and that of the Postshock group was kept at 50-60 mm Hg for 30 min by draining blood. After 15 min of returning mean blood pressure to normal levels in the Postshock group, 10% formalin (3.7% formaldehyde solution, 100 microL) was injected into the left rear paw of both groups. Nociceptive behaviors were observed for 1 h after the formalin injection. The rats were killed at 2 h after the formalin injection, and the lumbar spinal cord was then stained for c-fos immunohistochemistry by using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase method. Animals in the Postshock group showed considerably less nociceptive behavior than those in the Control group. C-fos expression in the deep layer (IV-VI) of the spinal cord was significantly less in the Postshock group. In conclusion, decreases of nociceptive behaviors and c-fos expression were observed under normotensive conditions after hemorrhagic shock. The mechanisms governing these reactions remain unclear. IMPLICATIONS Formalin tests were performed after hemorrhage and reinfusion in rats. A stress-induced analgesia was observed under normotensive conditions after hemorrhagic shock. The mechanisms remain unclear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of severe trauma with hemorrhagic shock on amoxicillin and clavulanate concentrations in plasma and their pharmacokinetics. DESIGN A prospective, open, descriptive study. SETTING A 12-bed, adult surgical intensive care unit in a university-affiliated hospital in France. SUBJECTS Subjects were 12 patients (10 men, 2 women) with severe trauma: median (range) Injury Severity Score, 38 (17-48); Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, 16 (7-38); Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, 41 (23-77). Also enrolled were 12 healthy volunteers who were matched on age (+/-5 yrs), gender, and body-surface area (+/-20 cm2). All the trauma patients suffered hemorrhagic shock defined as the association of at least one episode of systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg and an intravascular volume expansion >2000 mL between trauma and surgery. INTERVENTION Prophylactic perioperative administration of 2 g of amoxicillin and 0.2 g of clavulanate in combination during the first 12 hrs posttrauma in patients, and at the start of the pharmacokinetic study in volunteers. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Serial plasma samples (n = 13) were obtained after the first antibiotic administration to measure antibiotic levels by using high-performance liquid chromatography assays. Compared with volunteers, trauma patients had higher plasma amoxicillin and clavulanate concentrations, attributed to a reduction of the volume of distribution (p =.001 and p =.06, respectively) and, to a lesser extent, of the total body clearance (p =.09 and p =.20, respectively). Consequently, amoxicillin and clavulanate elimination half-lives were similar for the two groups of subjects. The interindividual variabilities for all the amoxicillin pharmacokinetic parameters were higher in patients. CONCLUSIONS In trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock requiring surgery, the administration of 2 g of amoxicillin and 0.2 g of clavulanate seems adequate, according to the antibiotic concentrations observed in plasma for both drugs. However, further studies exploring antibiotic concentrations in tissues are warranted.
