Argipressin for prevention of blood loss during liver resection: a study protocol for a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial (ARG-01). BMJ Open 2023; 13:e073270. [PMID: 37620260 PMCID: PMC10450082 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-073270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Liver resection carries a high risk for extensive bleeding and need for blood transfusions, which is associated with significant negative impact on outcome. In malignant disease, the most common indication for surgery, it also includes increased risk for recurrence of cancer. Argipressin decreases liver and portal blood flow and may have the potential to reduce bleeding during liver surgery, although this has not been explored. METHOD AND ANALYSIS ARG-01 is a prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study on 248 patients undergoing liver resection at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden. Patients will be randomised to one of two parallel groups, infusion of argipressin or normal saline administered peroperatively. The primary endpoint is peroperative blood loss. Secondary outcomes include need for blood transfusion, perioperative variables, length of hospital stay, the inflammatory response, organ damage markers and complications at 30 days. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study is enrolling patients since March 2022. The trial is approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (Dnr 2021-03557) and the Swedish Medical Product Agency (Dnr 5.1-2021-90115). Results will be announced at scientific meetings and in international peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05293041 and EudraCT, 2021-001806-32.

Effects of Vasopressin Receptor Agonists during the Resuscitation of Hemorrhagic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Clinical Studies. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1143. [PMID: 37511756 PMCID: PMC10381354 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13071143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical impact of vasopressin in hemorrhagic shock remains largely unknown. OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to investigate the effects of vasopressin receptor agonists during the resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, and PubMed Central was conducted for relevant articles. Experimental (animal) and clinical studies were included. The primary objective was to investigate the correlation of vasopressin receptor agonist use with mortality and various hemodynamic parameters. RESULTS Data extraction was possible in thirteen animal studies and two clinical studies. Differences in risk of mortality between patients who received a vasopressin receptor agonist were not statistically significant when compared to those who were not treated with such agents [RR (95% CI): 1.17 (0.67, 2.08); p = 0.562; I2 = 50%]. The available data were insufficient to conduct a meta-analysis assessing the effect of vasopressin receptor agonists on hemodynamics. Drawing safe conclusions from animal studies was challenging, due to significant heterogeneity in terms of species and dosage of vasopressin receptor agonists among studies. CONCLUSIONS Differences in risk of mortality between patients who received a vasopressin receptor agonist were not statistically significant when compared to those who were not treated with such agents after hemorrhagic shock. More data are needed to deduce certain conclusions.

Abstract
During hemorrhagic shock, blood loss causes a fall in blood pressure, decreases cardiac output, and, consequently, O2 transport. The current guidelines recommend the administration of vasopressors in addition to fluids to maintain arterial pressure when life-threatening hypotension occurs in order to prevent the risk of organ failure, especially acute kidney injury. However, different vasopressors exert variable effects on the kidney, depending on the nature and dose of the substance chosen as follows: Norepinephrine increases mean arterial pressure both via its α-1-mediated vasoconstriction leading to increased systemic vascular resistance and its β1-related increase in cardiac output. Vasopressin, through activation of V1-a receptors, induces vasoconstriction, thus increasing mean arterial pressure. In addition, these vasopressors have the following different effects on renal hemodynamics: Norepinephrine constricts both the afferent and efferent arterioles, whereas vasopressin exerts its vasoconstrictor properties mainly on the efferent arteriole. Therefore, this narrative review discusses the current knowledge of the renal hemodynamic effects of norepinephrine and vasopressin during hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hemorrhagic shock (HS) are the leading causes of traumatic death worldwide and particularly on the battlefield. They are especially challenging when present simultaneously (polytrauma), and clear blood pressure end points during fluid resuscitation are not well described for this situation. The goal of this study is to evaluate for any benefit of increasing blood pressure using a vasopressor on brain blood flow during initial fluid resuscitation in a swine polytrauma model. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used a swine polytrauma model with simultaneous TBI, femur fracture, and HS with uncontrolled noncompressible internal bleeding from an aortic tear injury. Five animals were assigned to each of three experimental groups (hydroxyethyl starch only [HES], HES + 0.4 U/kg vasopressin, and no fluid resuscitation [No Fluids]). Fluids were given as two 10 mL/kg boluses according to tactical field care guidelines. Primary outcomes were mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and brain blood flow at 60 min. Secondary outcomes were blood flows in the heart, intestine, and kidney; arterial blood lactate level; and survival at 6 hr. Organ blood flow was measured using injection of colored microspheres. RESULTS Five animals were tested in each of the three groups. There was a statistically significant increase in MAP with vasopressin compared with other experimental groups, but no significant increase in brain blood flow during the first 60 min of resuscitation. The vasopressin group also exhibited greater total internal hemorrhage volume and rate. There was no difference in survival at 6 hours. CONCLUSION In this experimental swine polytrauma model, increasing blood pressure with vasopressin did not improve brain perfusion, likely due to increased internal hemorrhage. Effective hemostasis should remain the top priority for field treatment of the polytrauma casualty with TBI.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Traumatic haemorrhagic shock carries significant morbidity and mortality related to the severity and duration of tissue hypoperfusion, much of which occurs in the pre-hospital environment where therapy must be easy to use and would augment, not replace, local haemorrhage control measures. Vasopressor therapy use in haemorrhagic shock remains controversial. Potential benefits from improved blood pressure and tissue perfusion need to be weighed against possible harm from increased blood loss if haemorrhage is uncontrolled. We demonstrate that 20 IU I.M. vasopressin produces a progressive, sustained and clinically significant increase in blood pressure and carotid blood flow compared to 1 mg I.M. adrenaline or placebo in an animal model of controlled haemorrhagic shock. I.M. vasopressin may play a role in the early management of haemorrhagic shock by improving cerebral perfusion and haemodynamic stability; however, further studies are required to establish the potential benefit against the risk of exacerbating haemorrhage, if it is uncontrolled. ABSTRACT Haemorrhagic shock causes significant morbidity and mortality. Novel pre-hospital therapy to improve haemodynamic stability and cerebral perfusion may improve outcomes but remains controversial. In an ovine model of controlled haemorrhagic shock, the effects of early intramuscular arginine vasopressin (AVP), adrenaline or placebo on haemodynamic stability and cerebral perfusion were compared. Carotid pressure and flow catheters were placed in healthy, anaesthetized adult ewes. Frontal cortex cerebral oxygenation was measured using near infrared spectroscopy. Controlled, rapid, haemorrhage (∼30% estimated blood volume) was induced. Five minutes post-bleed a 1 ml intramuscular dose of 0.9% saline, adrenaline 1 mg or AVP 20 IU was administered. Carotid blood pressure and flow improved significantly in the AVP group over the first 30 min post-intervention. To emulate standard trauma care, 1 L of 0.9% saline was infused 30 min post-bleed followed by re-transfusion of the sheep's own blood at 60 min post-bleed. Carotid blood pressure and flow in the AVP group remained significantly higher post-crystalloid infusion, but this difference was lost post-blood transfusion. Data were analysed by two-way ANOVA with time, group as the main factors. When compared to saline or adrenaline, a single dose of intramuscular AVP resulted in a progressive and sustained increase in carotid artery blood pressure and flow with commensurate increase in cerebral oxygenation. Intramuscular AVP has potential as an emergency pre-hospital therapy following exsanguinating haemorrhage; however, further studies are required to investigate whether the benefit of improved perfusion pressure outweighs the risks of exacerbating ongoing bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over-aggressive intravenous fluid therapy with crystalloids has adverse effects in trauma patients. We assessed the role of large-volume (≥5l) administration of crystalloids within 24h of injury as an independent risk-factor for mortality, in-hospital complications, and prolonged mechanical ventilation. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis of adult trauma patients admitted to a level 1-trauma center between December 2011 and December 2012. Patient demographics, clinical and laboratory values, and total resuscitation fluid administered within the first 24h of injury were obtained. Outcomes included mortality, in-hospital complications and ventilator-days. Multivariable logistic regression and Poisson regression analyses were performed to investigate any association between the administration of ≥5L crystalloids with the aforementioned outcomes while controlling for selected clinical variables. RESULTS A total of 970 patients were included in the analysis. 264 (27%) received ≥5L of crystalloids in the first 24h of injury. 118 (12%) had in-hospital complications and 337 (35%) required mechanical ventilation. The median age was 46 years (interquartile range (IQR) 27-65) years and 73% (n = 708) were males. The median injury severity score (ISS) was 17 (IQR 9-25). Overall mortality rate was 7% (n = 67). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed several variables independently associated with mortality (p < 0.05), including resuscitation with ≥5L crystalloid in the first 24h (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.55), older age (aOR 1.03), higher ISS (aOR 1.09), and lower temperature (aOR 0.68). The variables independently associated with in-hospital complications (p < 0.05) were older age, longer ICU stay, and platelet transfusion within 24h of the injury. Need for mechanical ventilation was more common in patients who received ≥5L crystalloids (RR 2.31) had higher ISS (RR 1.02), developed in-hospital complications (RR 1.91) and had lower presenting temperature (RR 0.87). CONCLUSION Large-volume crystalloid resuscitation is associated with increased mortality and longer time ventilated, but not with in-hospital complications such as pneumonia and sepsis. Based on this data, we recommend judicious use of crystalloids in the resuscitation of trauma patients.

Abstract
Damage control resuscitation has been increasingly adopted and practiced over the last decade. The concepts used are not new to this era of medicine but are novel in combination. This chapter will focus on adjuncts to damage control resuscitation (DCR) including massive transfusion protocols, the “other” tenets of damage control resuscitation, hypertonic saline, tranexamic acid, pharmacologic resuscitation, Factor VIIa, and prothrombin complex, and viscoelastic testing.

Abstract
This review summarizes the evolution of trauma resuscitation from a one-size-fits-all approach to one tailored to patient physiology. The most dramatic change is in the management of actively bleeding patients, with a balanced blood product-based resuscitation approach (avoiding crystalloids) and surgery focused on hemorrhage control, not definitive care. When hemostasis has been achieved, definitive resuscitation to restore organ perfusion is initiated. This approach is associated with decreased mortality, reduced duration of stay, improved coagulation profile, and reduced crystalloid/vasopressor use. This article focuses on the tools and methods used for trauma resuscitation in the acute phase of trauma care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current management of hemorrhagic shock favors restrictive fluid resuscitation before control of the bleeding source. We investigated the additional effects of early and sustained vasopressin infusion in a swine model of hemorrhagic shock produced by liver laceration. METHODS Forty male domestic pigs (32-40 kg) had a liver laceration inflicted with an X-shaped blade clamp, 32 received a second laceration at minute 7.5, and 24 received two additional lacerations at minute 15. Using a two-by-two factorial design, animals were randomized 1:1 to receive vasopressin infusion (0.04 U/kg per minute) or vehicle intraosseously from minute 7 until minute 240 and 1:1 to receive isotonic sodium chloride solution (12 mL/kg) intravenously at minute 30 or no fluids. RESULTS Kaplan-Meier curves showed greater survival after vasopressin with isotonic sodium chloride solution (8/10) compared to vasopressin without isotonic sodium chloride solution (4/10), vehicle with isotonic sodium chloride solution (3/10), or vehicle without isotonic sodium chloride solution (3/10), but the differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.095 by log-rank test). However, logistic regression showed vasopressin to elicit a statistically significant benefit on survival (p = 0.042). Vasopressin augmented mean aortic pressure between 10 and 20 mm Hg without intensifying the rate of bleeding from liver laceration, which was virtually identical to that of vehicle-treated animals (33.9 ± 5.1 and 33.8 ± 4.8 mL/kg). Vasopressin increased systemic vascular resistance and reduced transcapillary fluid extravasation, augmenting the volume of isotonic sodium chloride solution retained (6.5 ± 2.7 vs 2.4 ± 2.0 mL/kg by minute 60). The cardiac output and blood flow to the myocardium, liver, spleen, kidney, small bowel, and skeletal muscle at minute 120 and minute 180 were comparable or higher in the vasopressin group. CONCLUSIONS Early and sustained vasopressin infusion provided critical hemodynamic stability during hemorrhagic shock induced by liver laceration and increased the hemodynamic efficacy of restrictive fluid resuscitation without intensifying bleeding or compromising organ blood flow resulting in improved 240-minute survival.

Abstract
Objective. The latest European guidelines for the management of hemorrhagic shock suggest the use of vasopressors (norepinephrine) in order to restore an adequate mean arterial pressure when fluid resuscitation therapy fails to restore blood pressure. The administration of arginine vasopressin (AVP), or its analogue terlipressin, has been proposed as an alternative treatment in the early stages of hypovolemic shock. Design. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled animal trials. Participants. A total of 433 animals from 15 studies were included. Interventions. The ability of AVP and terlipressin to reduce mortality when compared with fluid resuscitation therapy, other vasopressors (norepinephrine or epinephrine), or placebo was investigated. Measurements and Main Results. Pooled estimates showed that AVP and terlipressin consistently and significantly improve survival in hemorrhagic shock (mortality: 26/174 (15%) in the AVP group versus 164/259 (63%) in the control arms; OR = 0.09; 95% CI 0.05 to 0.15; P for effect < 0.001; P for heterogeneity = 0.30; I2 = 14%). Conclusions. Results suggest that AVP and terlipressin improve survival in the early phases of animal models of hemorrhagic shock. Vasopressin seems to be more effective than all other treatments, including other vasopressor drugs. These results need to be confirmed by human clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mortality rates among the severely injured remain high. The successful treatment of hemorrhagic shock relies on expeditious control of bleeding through surgical ligation, packing, or endovascular techniques. An important secondary concern in hemorrhaging patients is how to respond to the lost blood volume. A single method that is able to adequately address all needs of the exsanguinating patient has not yet been agreed upon, despite a large growth of knowledge regarding the causative factors of traumatic shock. METHODS A review of relevent literature was performed. CONCLUSIONS Many different trials are currently underway to discriminate ways to improve outcomes in the severely injured and bleeding patient. This paper will review: (1) recent advances in our understanding of the effects hemorrhagic shock has on the coagulation cascade and vascular endothelium, (2) recent research findings that have changed resuscitation, and (3) resuscitation strategies that are not widely used but under active investigation.

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

Abstract
The evolution of trauma care is driven by a synergistic relationship between civilian and military medical systems. Although the characteristics of civilian injuries differ from those encountered on the battlefield, the pathophysiologic process of dying is the same and dominated by exsanguination and central nervous trauma. As such, therapies that interfere with the physiologic ability to compensate hemorrhage may play a key role to buy time until hemostatic surgery can be initiated. From a variety of remedies with the potential to prolong the compensation phase or to reverse the decompensation phase of shock, arginine vasopressin (AVP) is one of the most promising and best-evaluated drugs. Animal studies and various case report series provide some evidence that AVP may improve blood pressure even when conventional therapies fail, thus preventing hypovolemic cardiac arrest and enabling resuscitation from fatal hemorrhage. On the basis of this civilian experience, it seems reasonable to consider AVP for hypotensive resuscitation in the austere, resource-constrained battlefield environment. However, the significance of AVP as a rescue medication for life-threatening hemorrhage has yet to be proven.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to address and summarize some key issues and recent insights into the hemodynamic support of the trauma patient related to fluid administration. RECENT FINDINGS Colloids are not superior to crystalloids in treating hypovolemia in the trauma patient and show no survival benefit. Furthermore, several adverse effects (renal failure, bleeding complications and anaphylaxis) have been reported with the use of artificial colloids. Hypertonic saline is effective and well tolerated in the treatment of hypovolemic shock and traumatic brain injury. Potential benefits are reduced fluid requirements and immune modulation. Resuscitation strategies should depend on the type of injury (penetrating vs. blunt; concomitant brain injury). Excessive fluid resuscitation, which can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, abdominal compartment syndrome and brain edema, should be avoided. Dynamic parameters to guide volume therapy are probably more reliable than static parameters and minimally invasive techniques to monitor the microcirculation are becoming more important to determine the endpoints of resuscitation. SUMMARY Hemodynamic support is an early goal in the treatment of the trauma patient. The use of crystalloids is currently recommended in trauma resuscitation. The amount of fluid we give should be tailored to the individual trauma patient in which clear endpoints of resuscitation are of vital importance to maximize the chances of survival.

A small dose of arginine vasopressin in combination with norepinephrine is a good early treatment for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock after hemostasis. J Surg Res 2010; 169:76-84. [PMID: 20471036 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2010.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2009] [Revised: 01/05/2010] [Accepted: 02/03/2010] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited fluid resuscitation has been proven to have a good effect on uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and norepinephrine (NE) were used to treat vasodilatory or septic shock, and were used to reduce the fluid requirement for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. Based on their pressor and hemodynamic stabilization effects, it is speculated that AVP and NE may be a good treatment for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock at early stage after hemostasis. METHODS Experiments were conducted in two parts. Each part had control, lactated Ringer's solution (LR), whole blood, NE, arginine vasopressin (AVP), NE+AVP, and AVP+NE+whole blood. Rats (n = 8-10/group), respectively, received LR, whole blood, NE (1 μg/kg) and AVP (0.1 U/kg) infusion alone, or in combination after 60 min hypotensive resuscitation (50 mmHg). The volume in each group was two times the volume of shed blood. RESULTS Whole blood improved all observed parameters, particularly the tissue blood flow and mitochondrial function of liver and kidney, and the 12-h survival (50%). NE only increased the hemodynamics. 0.1 U/kg of AVP had a similar effect with whole blood on hemodynamics, tissue blood flow, mitochondrial function, and the 12-h survival. AVP+NE significantly improved all observed variables (P < 0.05 or 0.01), the 12-h survival was 70%. Whole blood further potentiated the beneficial effect of AVP+NE, and 12-h animal survival rate in this group was 80%. CONCLUSION AVP+NE is a good treatment for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock at the early stage after hemostasis if blood is unavailable. Whole blood transfusion can potentiate this beneficial effect of AVP+NE.

Abstract
The research papers on shock published in Critical Care throughout 2007 are related to three major subjects: the modulation of the macrocirculation and microcirculation during shock, focusing on arginine vasopressin, erythropoietin and nitric oxide; studies on metabolic homeostasis (acid–base status, energy expenditure and gastrointestinal motility); and basic supportive measures in critical illness (fluid resuscitation and sedation, and body-temperature management). The present review summarizes the key results of these studies and provides a brief discussion in the context of the relevant scientific and clinical background.
