Robba C, Battaglini D, Rasulo F, Lobo FA, Matta B. The importance of monitoring cerebral oxygenation in non brain injured patients. J Clin Monit Comput 2023:10.1007/s10877-023-01002-8. [PMID: 37043157 PMCID: PMC10091334 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-023-01002-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2023]
Abstract
Over the past few years, the use of non-invasive neuromonitoring in non-brain injured patients has increased, as a result of the recognition that many of these patients are at risk of brain injury in a wide number of clinical scenarios and therefore may benefit from its application which allows interventions to prevent injury and improve outcome. Among these, are post cardiac arrest syndrome, sepsis, liver failure, acute respiratory failure, and the perioperative settings where in the absence of a primary brain injury, certain groups of patients have high risk of neurological complications. While there are many neuromonitoring modalities utilized in brain injured patients, the majority of those are either invasive such as intracranial pressure monitoring, require special skill such as transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, or intermittent such as pupillometry and therefore unable to provide continuous monitoring. Cerebral oximetry using Near infrared Spectroscopy, is a simple non invasive continuous measure of cerebral oxygenation that has been shown to be useful in preventing cerebral hypoxemia both within the intensive care unit and the perioperative settings. At present, current recommendations for standard monitoring during anesthesia or in the general intensive care concentrate mainly on hemodynamic and respiratory monitoring without specific indications regarding the brain, and in particular, brain oximetry. The aim of this manuscript is to provide an up-to-date overview of the pathophysiology and applications of cerebral oxygenation in non brain injured patients as part of non-invasive multimodal neuromonitoring in the early identification and treatment of neurological complications in this population.

Bedside hyperspectral imaging indicates a microcirculatory sepsis pattern - an observational study. Microvasc Res 2021; 136:104164. [PMID: 33831406 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2021.104164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Microcirculatory alterations are key mechanisms in sepsis pathophysiology leading to tissue hypoxia, edema formation, and organ dysfunction. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an emerging imaging technology that uses tissue-light interactions to evaluate biochemical tissue characteristics including tissue oxygenation, hemoglobin content and water content. Currently, clinical data for HSI technologies in critical ill patients are still limited. METHODS AND ANALYSIS TIVITA® Tissue System was used to measure Tissue oxygenation (StO2), Tissue Hemoglobin Index (THI), Near Infrared Perfusion Index (NPI) and Tissue Water Index (TWI) in 25 healthy volunteers and 25 septic patients. HSI measurement sites were the palm, the fingertip, and a suprapatellar knee area. Septic patients were evaluated on admission to the ICU (E), 6 h afterwards (E+6) and three times a day (t3-t9) within a total observation period of 72 h. Primary outcome was the correlation of HSI results with daily SOFA-scores. RESULTS Serial HSI at the three measurement sites in healthy volunteers showed a low mean variance expressing high retest reliability. HSI at E demonstrated significantly lower StO2 and NPI as well as higher TWI at the palm and fingertip in septic patients compared to healthy volunteers. StO2 and TWI showed corresponding results at the suprapatellar knee area. In septic patients, palm and fingertip THI identified survivors (E-t4) and revealed predictivity for 28-day mortality (E). Fingertip StO2 and THI correlated to SOFA-score on day 2. TWI was consistently increased in relation to the TWI range of healthy controls during the observation time. Palm TWI correlated positively with SOFA scores on day 3. DISCUSSION HSI results in septic patients point to a distinctive microcirculatory pattern indicative of reduced skin oxygenation and perfusion quality combined with increased blood pooling and tissue water content. THI might possess risk-stratification properties and TWI could allow tissue edema evaluation in critically ill patients. CONCLUSION HSI technologies could open new perspectives in microcirculatory monitoring by visualizing oxygenation and perfusion quality combined with tissue water content in critically ill patients - a prerequisite for future tissue perfusion guided therapy concepts in intensive care medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sepsis is acute organ dysfunction in the setting of infection. An accurate diagnosis is important to guide treatment and disposition. Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) can be estimated noninvasively by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and may be an indicator of microcirculatory dysfunction in early sepsis. We aimed to determine the utility of StO2 for sepsis recognition and outcome prediction among patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS A multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study recruited patients who were being admitted to hospital with infection. StO2 was measured in the ED using a handheld NIRS device, Inspectra 300. Outcomes were sepsis, defined as an increase in sequential organ failure assessment score of at least 2 points within 72 h, and composite in-hospital mortality/ICU admission at least 3 days. RESULTS A cohort of 323 participants, median age 64 (interquartile range: 47-77) years, was recruited at three Australian hospitals. 143 (44%) fulfilled the criteria for sepsis and 22 (7%) died within 30 days. The mean ± SD StO2 was 74 ± 8% in sepsis and 78 ± 7% in nonsepsis (P < 0.0001). StO2 correlated with the peak sequential organ failure assessment score (Spearman's ρ -0.27, P < 0.0001). Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.66 (95% confidence interval: 0.60-0.72) for sepsis and 0.66 (0.58-0.75) for the composite outcome. StO2 less than 75% had an odds ratio of 2.67 (1.45-4.94; P = 0.002), for the composite outcome compared with StO2 at least 75%. CONCLUSION NIRS-derived StO2 correlates with organ failure and is associated with outcome in sepsis. However, its ability to differentiate sepsis among ED patients with infection is limited. NIRS cannot be recommended for this purpose.

Abstract
Sepsis, defined as life-threatening tissue damage and organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, is a critical disease which imposes global health burden. Sepsis-induced organ dysfunction, including circulatory and cardiac dysfunction, hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, etc., contributes to high mortality and long-term disability of sepsis patients. Altered inflammatory response, ROS and reactive aldehyde stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and programmed cell death pathways (necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy) have been demonstrated to play crucial roles in septic organ dysfunction. Unfortunately, except for infection control and supportive therapies, no specific therapy exists for sepsis. New specific therapeutic targets are highly warranted. Emerging studies suggested a role of potential therapeutic target of ALDH2, a tetrameric enzyme located in mitochondria to detoxify aldehydes, in septic organ dysfunction. In this article, we will review the presentations and pathophysiology of septic organ dysfunction, as well as summarize and discuss the recent insights regarding ALDH2 in sepsis.

Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock constitute a complex disease condition that requires the engagement of several medical specialties. A great number of patients with this disease are constantly admitted to the emergency department, which warrants the need for emergency physicians to lead in the recognition and early management of septic patients. Timely and appropriate interventions may help reduce mortality in a disease with an unacceptably high mortality rate. Poor control of cellular hypoperfusion is one of the most influential mechanisms contributing to the high mortality rate in these patients. This article aims to make an evidence-based approach and an algorithm for the active identification of hypoperfusion in patients with suspicion of severe infection, based on both clinical variables (capillary refill, mottling index, left ventricular function by ultrasound, temperature gradient, etc.) and laboratory-measured variables (lactate, central venous oxygen saturation [ScvO2], and venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide tension difference [P (v-a) CO2]). Such variables are feasible to use in the emergency department and would help to explain the cause behind the inadequate oxygen use by cells, thereby guiding treatment at the macrovascular, microvascular, or cellular level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the current literature pertaining to the use of lactate as a prognostic indicator and therapeutic guide, the utility of measuring lactate concentrations in body fluids other than blood or plasma, and the clinical management of hyperlactatemia in dogs, cats, and horses. DATA SOURCES Articles were retrieved without date restrictions primarily via PubMed, Scopus, and CAB Abstracts as well as by manual selection. HUMAN AND VETERINARY DATA SYNTHESIS Increased plasma lactate concentrations are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In populations with high mortality, hyperlactatemia is moderately predictive in identifying nonsurvivors. Importantly, eulactatemia predicts survival better than hyperlactatemia predicts death. Consecutive lactate measurements and calculated relative measures appear to outperform single measurements. The use of lactate as a therapeutic guide has shown promising results in people but is relatively uninvestigated in veterinary species. Increased lactate concentrations in body fluids other than blood should raise the index of suspicion for septic or malignant processes. Management of hyperlactatemia should target the underlying cause. CONCLUSION Lactate is a valuable triage and risk stratification tool that can be used to separate patients into higher and lower risk categories. The utility of lactate concentration as a therapeutic target and the measurement of lactate in body fluids shows promise but requires further research.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews the recent literature pertaining to assessment of the adequacy of oxygen delivery in critically ill patients with circulatory shock. RECENT FINDINGS The assessment of the adequacy of oxygen delivery has traditionally involved measurement of lactate, central (or mixed) venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), and global hemodynamic markers such as mean arterial pressure and cardiac index. The search for noninvasive, reliable, and sensitive methods to detect derangements in oxygen delivery and utilization continues. Recent studies focus on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to assess regional tissue oxygenation, as well as bedside ultrasound techniques to assess the macrovascular hemodynamic factors in oxygen delivery. SUMMARY In this article, we review physiologic principles of global oxygen delivery, and discuss the bedside approach to assessing the adequacy of oxygen delivery in critically ill patients. Although there have been technological advances in the assessment of oxygen delivery, we revisit and emphasize the importance of a 'tried and true' method - the physical examination. Also potentially important in the evaluation of oxygen delivery is the utilization of biomarkers (e.g., lactate, ScvO2, NIRS). In complementary fashion, bedside ultrasound for hemodynamic assessment may augment the physical examination and biomarkers, and represents a potentially important adjunct for assessing the adequacy of oxygen delivery.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Tissue monitoring is one of the main strategies at the bedside to guide resuscitation of shock. Advances in tissue monitoring technologies have established noninvasive optical methods and transcutaneous oximetry as modalities of considerable value in the critical care setting for tissue monitoring in shock. The purpose of this article is to highlight the latest developments into the clinical applications of near-infrared spectroscopy, direct visualization of sublingual microcirculation, and transcutaneous oxygen measurements (PtcO2). RECENT FINDINGS Near-infrared spectroscopy has been successfully applied in patients with septic shock during vasopressor and blood transfusion therapy to identify patients at high risk for microcirculatory failure. A new generation incident dark field imaging-based handheld microscope has been introduced for quantification of microcirculatory alterations at bedside. Preliminary comparisons with previous versions have shown better quality and superiority of incident dark field in detecting more vessels. PtcO2 measurements have been applied mainly to detect a peripheral low-flow state in circulatory failure using the oxygen challenge test. Altered lung function might have an influence on PtcO2, and thus affect the oxygen challenge test. SUMMARY The latest developments of noninvasive optical monitoring and transcutaneous oximetry technologies have helped early identification of septic patients at high risk for microcirculatory failure and could allow more targeted interventions in shock.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aim to determine whether the combination of regional tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) measurement using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility and ejection fraction (EF) is able to detect occult sepsis. METHODS We included adult patients in the emergency department with at least one of the following: fever; any one component of the quick sepsis-related organ function assessment (SOFA) score; heart rate≥100 beats per minute; or white cell count <4.0×109/L or >12.0×109/L. StO2 parameters, IVC collapsibility and EF were assessed. Primary outcome was composite of admission to intensive care unit, hypotension requiring fluid resuscitation or vasopressor use, and antibiotic escalation. RESULTS We included 184 patients with mean age of 55.4years and slight male predominance (51.6%). Increase in temperature (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.05; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16 to 8.02), higher white cell counts (aOR 1.10; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.19), increase in time taken to new StO2 baseline (aOR 1.03; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.06) and reduced EF (aOR 33.9; 95% CI 2.19 to 523.64) had higher odds of achieving the primary outcome. CONCLUSION Change in StO2 and time taken to reach new StO2 baseline, combined with EF could potentially predict sepsis among patients with infection.

Abstract
Hypoperfusion is the most common event preceding the onset of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome during trauma resuscitation. Detecting subtle changes in perfusion is crucial to ensure adequate tissue oxygenation and perfusion. Traditional methods of detecting physiological changes include measurements of blood pressure, heart rate, urine output, serum levels of lactate, mixed venous oxygen saturation, and central venous oxygen saturation. Continuous noninvasive monitoring of tissue oxygen saturation in muscle has the potential to indicate severity of shock, detect occult hypoperfusion, guide resuscitation, and be predictive of the need for interventions to prevent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Tissue oxygen saturation is being used in emergency departments, trauma rooms, operating rooms, and emergency medical services. Tissue oxygen saturation technology is just as effective as mixed venous oxygen saturation, central venous oxygen saturation, serum lactate, and Stewart approach with strong ion gap, yet tissue oxygen saturation assessment is also a direct, noninvasive microcirculatory measurement of oxygen saturation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is commonplace after cardiothoracic surgery. A rate control strategy using short-acting beta blockers is recommended as a first-line therapy in patients without hemodynamic instability. Microcirculatory effects of POAF and esmolol have not yet been investigated. We hypothesized that POAF without hemodynamic instability would induce microvascular dysfunction which could be reversed by intravenous esmolol. METHODS Twenty-five cardiothoracic surgical patients with POAF were included in the study. Microcirculation was assessed by peripheral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in association with a vascular occlusion test (VOT) before esmolol infusion, during incremental doses of esmolol (25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/kg/min), and after a return to sinus rhythm. Esmolol was given to control heart rate to between 60 and 90 beats/min. Regional tissue oxygen saturation variables (StO2, StO2 min, StO2 max, and ∆StO2) and desaturation/resaturation speeds during VOT were recorded to evaluate the microcirculation. RESULTS StO2 and resaturation speed were significantly improved when POAF returned to sinus rhythm (StO2 64% ± 6 versus 67% ± 6, P < 0.01; resaturation speed 0.53%/s (0.42-0.97) versus 0.66%/s (0.51-1.04), P = 0.020). ∆StO2 was significantly decreased after a return to sinus rhythm (7.9% ± 4.8 versus 6.1% ± 4.7, P = 0.026). During esmolol infusion, we found a significant decrease in both heart rate (P < 0.001) and blood pressure (P < 0.001), and a non-significant dose-dependent increase in StO2 (P = 0.081) and resaturation speed (P = 0.087). CONCLUSION POAF without hemodynamic instability is associated with significant impairment in the microcirculation which could be partially reversed by intravenous esmolol.

Abstract
Despite the strong decline in the infection-associated mortality since the development of the first antibiotics, infectious diseases are still a major cause of death in the world. With the rising number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, the incidence of deaths caused by infections may increase strongly in the future. Survival rates in sepsis, which occurs when body response to infections becomes uncontrolled, are still very poor if an adequate therapy is not initiated immediately. Therefore, approaches to monitor the treatment efficacy are crucially needed to adapt therapeutic strategies according to the patient's response. An increasing number of photonic technologies are being considered for diagnostic purpose and monitoring of therapeutic response; however many of these strategies have not been introduced into clinical routine, yet. Here, we review photonic strategies to monitor response to treatment in patients with infectious disease, sepsis, and septic shock. We also include some selected approaches for the development of new drugs in animal models as well as new monitoring strategies which might be applicable to evaluate treatment response in humans in the future.

Abstract
Monitoring of tissue perfusion is an essential step in the management of acute circulatory failure. The presence of cellular dysfunction has been a basic component of shock definition even in the absence of hypotension. Monitoring of tissue perfusion includes biomarkers of global tissue perfusion and measures for assessment of perfusion in non-vital organs. The presence of poor tissue perfusion in a shocked patient is usually associated with worse outcome. Persistently impaired perfusion despite adequate resuscitation is also associated with worse outcome. Thus, normalization of some perfusion indices has become one of the resuscitation targets in patients with septic shock. Although the collective evidence shows the clear relation between impaired peripheral perfusion and mortality, the use of different perfusion indices as a resuscitation target needs more research.

Abstract
Standard hemodynamic monitoring such as blood pressure and pulse oximetry may only provide a crude estimation of organ perfusion in the critical care setting. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is based on the same principle as a pulse oximeter and allows continuous noninvasive monitoring of hemoglobin oxygenation and deoxygenation and thus tissue saturation "StO2" This review aims to provide an overview of NIRS technology principles and discuss its current clinical use in the critical care setting. The study selection was performed using the PubMed database to find studies that investigated the use of NIRS in both the critical care setting and in the intensive care unit. Currently, NIRS in the critical care setting is predominantly being used for infants and neonates. A number of studies in the past decade have shown promising results for the use of NIRS in surgical/trauma intensive care units during shock management as a prognostic tool and in guiding resuscitation. It is evident that over the past 2 decades, NIRS has gone from being a laboratory fascination to an actively employed clinical tool. Even though the benefit of routine use of this technology to achieve better outcomes is still questionable, the fact that NIRS is a low-cost, noninvasive monitoring modality improves the attractiveness of the technology. However, more research may be warranted before recommending its routine use in the critical care setting.

Abstract
Severe sepsis and septic shock have great relevance to Emergency Medicine physicians because of their high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. Treatment is time-sensitive, depends on early identification risk stratification, and has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes. In this article, we review the pathophysiology of, and evidence basis for, the emergency department management of severe sepsis and septic shock.
