Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare sublingual microcirculatory parameters between anesthetized pigs and conscious adult humans using sidestream darkfield videomicroscopy. The overarching aim of the work was to validate the pig as an experimental model of changes in microcirculatory function following traumatic haemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. METHODS Fourteen large white pigs and 14 humans were recruited for the study. Sublingual sidestream darkfield videomicroscopy clips were captured in anesthetized pigs and conscious humans. Clips underwent manual analysis in Automated Vascular Analysis 3.2 software. The total vessel density (TVD), perfused vessel density (PVD), proportion of perfused vessels (PPVs) and microvascular flow index (MFI) were quantified. An independent samples t test was used for between species comparison of microcirculatory parameters. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Conscious humans had a significantly lower TVD, PVD and MFI than anesthetized pigs. No significant difference in PPVs was observed between the species. Perfusion of the microcirculation is a critical determinant of tissue metabolic function and viability. Whilst it may not be surprising that some interspecies differences in the sublingual microcirculatory anatomy were identified between pig and human subjects, it is interesting to report the insignificant difference in PPVs. This direct microcirculatory measure represents a relative change which should hold translatable value across species. We therefore conclude the pig is a suitable model for microcirculatory research and may be a suitable species to investigate changes in microcirculatory perfusion following perturbations in cardiovascular homeostasis, for example during traumatic haemorrhagic shock and resuscitation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traumatic injury is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and despite significant improvements in patient care, survival in the most severely injured patients remains unchanged. There is a crucial need for innovative approaches to improve trauma patient outcomes; this is particularly pertinent in remote or austere environments with prolonged evacuation times to definitive care. Studies suggest that maintenance of cellular homeostasis is a critical component of optimal trauma patient management, and as the cell powerhouse, it is likely that mitochondria play a pivotal role. As a result, therapies that optimise mitochondrial function could be an important future target for the treatment of critically ill trauma patients. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was undertaken in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol to determine the potential role of mitochondria in traumatic injury and haemorrhagic shock (HS) and to identify current evidence for mitochondrial optimisation therapies in trauma. Articles were included if they assessed a mitochondrial targeted therapy in comparison to a control group, used a model of traumatic injury and HS and reported a method to assess mitochondrial function. RESULTS The search returned 918 articles with 37 relevant studies relating to mitochondrial optimisation identified. Included studies exploring a range of therapies with potential utility in traumatic injury and HS. Therapies were categorised into the key mitochondrial pathways impacted following traumatic injury and HS: ATP levels, cell death, oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species. CONCLUSION This systematic review provides an overview of the key cellular functions of the mitochondria following traumatic injury and HS and identifies why mitochondrial optimisation could be a viable and valuable target in optimising outcome in severely injured patients in the future.

Effects of Different Types of Early Restrictive Fluid Resuscitation on Immune Function and Multiorgan Damage on Hemorrhagic Shock Rat Model in a Hypothermic Environment. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:4982047. [PMID: 35844441 PMCID: PMC9279086 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4982047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study was aimed at investigating the effects of different types of fluid restriction fluid resuscitation on the immune dysfunction and organ injury of hemorrhagic shock rats under a hypothermic environment. Methods SD rats were divided into sham operation group (SHAM), hemorrhagic shock model group (HS), crystal liquid limited resuscitation group (CRLLR), colloidal liquid limited resuscitation group (COLLR), and nonlimited resuscitation group (NLR); rats in each group were placed in a low-temperature environment of 0-5°C for 30 min, and then, a hemorrhagic shock rat model was prepared. Sodium lactate Ringer's restricted resuscitation solution, hydroxyethyl starch restricted resuscitation solution, and hydroxyethyl starch were used for resuscitation, and hemodynamic examination was performed. The mortality rate, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress factors, and immune function were detected by ELISA. The dysfunction and injury of the intestinal, lung, liver, and kidney were examined by histological methods. Results Hemorrhagic shock resulted in decreased immune function and activation of inflammation. Unrestricted fluid infusion further activated the inflammatory response. The crystalloid-restricted fluid infusion performed effectively to regulate inflammatory response, promote antioxidative activity, and reduce the immunosuppressive reaction. Rehydration could regulate the coagulation. The hydroxyethyl starch reduced the expression of platelet glycoproteins Ib and IIb/IIIa and blocked the binding of fibrinogen to activated platelets, thereby inhibiting intrinsic coagulation and platelet adhesion and aggregation. Rats in the CRLLR group showed to relieve the injury of the lung, liver, kidney, and intestine from hemorrhagic shock in low-temperature environment. Conclusion The early application of restrictive crystalloid resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock rats in hypothermic environment showed the best therapy results. Early LR-restrictive fluid replacement promotes the balance of inflammatory response and the recovery of immunosuppressive state, resists oxidative stress, stabilizes the balance of coagulation and fibrinolysis, improves coagulation function, and relieves organ injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methylene blue is used as rescue therapy to treat catecholamine-refractory vasoplegic syndrome after cardiac surgery. However, its microcirculatory effects remain poorly documented. OBJECTIVE We aimed to study microcirculatory abnormalities in refractory vasoplegic syndrome following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and assess the effects of methylene blue. DESIGN A prospective open-label cohort study. SETTING 20-Bed ICU of a tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS 25 Adult patients receiving 1.5 mg kg-1 of methylene blue intravenously for refractory vasoplegic syndrome (defined as norepinephrine requirement more than 0.5 μg kg-1 min-1) to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) more than 65 mmHg and cardiac index (CI) more than 2.0 l min-1 m-2. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Complete haemodynamic set of measurements at baseline and 1 h after the administration of methylene blue. Sublingual microcirculation was investigated by sidestream dark field imaging to obtain microvascular flow index (MFI), total vessel density, perfused vessel density and heterogeneity index. Microvascular reactivity was assessed by peripheral near-infrared (IR) spectroscopy combined with a vascular occlusion test. We also performed a standardised measurement of capillary refill time. RESULTS Despite normalised CI (2.6 [2.0 to 3.8] l min-1 m-2) and MAP (66 [55 to 76] mmHg), patients with refractory vasoplegic syndrome showed severe microcirculatory alterations (MFI < 2.6). After methylene blue infusion, MFI significantly increased from 2.0 [0.1 to 2.5] to 2.2 [0.2 to 2.8] (P = 0.008), as did total vessel density from 13.5 [8.3 to 18.5] to 14.9 [10.1 to 14.7] mm mm-2 (P = 0.02) and perfused vessel density density from 7.4 [0.1 to 11.5] to 9.1 [0 to 20.1] mm mm-2 (P = 0.02), but with wide individual variation. Microvascular reactivity assessed by tissue oxygen resaturation speed also increased from 0.5 [0.1 to 1.8] to 0.7 [0.1 to 2.7]% s-1 (P = 0.002). Capillary refill time remained unchanged throughout the study. CONCLUSION In refractory vasoplegic syndrome following cardiac surgery, we found microcirculatory alterations despite normalised CI and MAP. The administration of methylene blue could improve microvascular perfusion and reactivity, and partially restore the loss of haemodynamic coherence.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review discusses the macrocirculatory and microcirculatory aspects of renal perfusion, as well as novel methods by which to measure renal blood flow. Finally, therapeutic options are briefly discussed, including renal-specific microcirculatory effects. RECENT FINDINGS The optimal mean arterial pressure (MAP) needed for preservation of renal function has been debated but is most likely a MAP of 60-80 mmHg. In addition, attention should be paid to renal outflow pressure, typically central venous pressure. Heterogeneity in microcirculation can exist and may be mitigated through appropriate use of vasopressors with unique microcirculatory effects. Excessive catecholamines have been shown to be harmful and should be avoided. Both angiotensin II and vasopressin may improve glomerular flow through a number of mechanisms. Macrocirculatory and microcirculatory blood flow can be measured through a number of bedside ultrasound modalities, sublingual microscopy and urinary oxygen measurement, SUMMARY: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common manifestation of organ failure in shock, and avoidance of hemodynamic instability can mitigate this risk. Measurement of renal haemodynamics is not routinely performed but may help to guide therapeutic goals. A thorough understanding of pathophysiology, measurement techniques and therapeutic options may allow for a personalized approach to blood pressure management in patients with septic shock and may ultimately mitigate AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A dysfunctional microcirculation is universal in shock and is often dissociated from global hemodynamic parameters. Persistent microcirculatory derangements reflect ongoing tissue hypoperfusion and organ injury. The initial microcirculatory dysfunction and subsequent resolution could potentially guide therapy and predict outcomes. We evaluated the microcirculation early in a heterogenous shocked population. Microcirculatory resolution was correlated with measures of tissue perfusion and global hemodynamics. The relationship between the microcirculation over 24 h and outcome were evaluated. DESIGN We prospectively recruited patients with all forms of shock, based on global hemodynamics and evidence of organ hypoperfusion. SETTING A 30-bed adult intensive care unit (ICU). PATIENTS Eighty-two shocked patients. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Following the diagnosis of shock, patients underwent a sublingual microcirculation examination using Sidestream Dark Field Imaging. The median age of patients was 66 years old (interquartile range [IQR] 54-71), with an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II of 27 (IQR 20-32). Microcirculatory parameters included Percentage Perfused Vessels (PPV), De Backer Score, and a heterogeneity index in patients with septic shock, according to the second consensus guidelines Additional parameters collected: temperature, heart rate and arterial pressure, cumulative fluid balance, and vasopressor use. Arterial blood samples were taken at the time of microcirculatory assessments, providing HCO3, lactate concentrations, PaO2, and PaCO2 measurements. A statistically significant improvement in PPV and the heterogeneity index was demonstrated. This improvement was mirrored by biomarkers of perfusion; however, the global hemodynamic parameter changes were not significantly different over the 24-h period. The early microcirculatory improvement was not predictive of an improvement in acute kidney injury, length of stay, ICU, or hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Early sequential evaluation of the microcirculation in shocked patients, demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the PPV and microvascular heterogeneity with standard care. These improvements were mirrored by biomarkers of organ perfusion; however, the changes in global hemodynamics were not as pronounced in this early phase. Early improvement in the microcirculation did not predict clinical outcome.

Abstract
Microvascular dysfunction is a frequent complication of many chronic and acute conditions, especially in the critically ill. Moreover, the severity of microvascular alterations is associated with development of organ dysfunction and poor outcome. The complexities and heterogeneity of critical illness, especially in the elderly patient, requires more mechanistically oriented clinical trials that monitor the effectiveness of existing therapies and of those to come. Recent advances in the ability to obtain physiologically based assessments of microcirculatory function at the bedside will make microcirculatory-guided resuscitation a point of care reality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the relationship between microcirculatory perfusion and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in patients following traumatic hemorrhagic shock. DESIGN Multicenter prospective longitudinal observational study. SETTING Three U.K. major trauma centers. PATIENTS Fifty-eight intubated and ventilated patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. INTERVENTIONS Sublingual incident dark field microscopy was performed within 12 hours of ICU admission (D0) and repeated 24 and 48 hours later. Cardiac output was assessed using oesophageal Doppler. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome was defined as Serial Organ Failure Assessment score greater than or equal to 6 at day 7 post injury. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Data from 58 patients were analyzed. Patients had a mean age of 43 ± 19 years, Injury Severity Score of 29 ± 14, and initial lactate of 7.3 ± 6.1 mmol/L and received 6 U (interquartile range, 4-11 U) of packed RBCs during initial resuscitation. Compared with patients without multiple organ dysfunction syndrome at day 7, patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome had lower D0 perfused vessel density (11.2 ± 1.8 and 8.6 ± 1.8 mm/mm; p < 0.01) and microcirculatory flow index (2.8 [2.6-2.9] and 2.6 [2.2-2.8]; p < 0.01) but similar cardiac index (2.5 [± 0.6] and 2.1 [± 0.7] L/min//m; p = 0.11). Perfused vessel density demonstrated the best discrimination for predicting subsequent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (area under curve 0.87 [0.76-0.99]) compared with highest recorded lactate (area under curve 0.69 [0.53-0.84]), cardiac index (area under curve 0.66 [0.49-0.83]) and lowest recorded systolic blood pressure (area under curve 0.54 [0.39-0.70]). CONCLUSIONS Microcirculatory hypoperfusion immediately following traumatic hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation is associated with increased multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Microcirculatory variables are better prognostic indicators for the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome than more traditional indices. Microcirculatory perfusion is a potential endpoint of resuscitation following traumatic hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microcirculatory dysfunction is associated with multiple organ failure and unfavorable patient outcome. We investigated whether therapeutically targeting the endothelial angiopoietin/Tie2 system preserves microvascular integrity during hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Rats were treated with the angiopoietin-1 mimetic vasculotide and subjected to hemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation. Microcirculatory perfusion and leakage were assessed with intravital microscopy (n = 7 per group) and Evans blue dye extravasation (n = 8 per group), respectively. The angiopoietin/Tie2 system was studied at protein and RNA level in plasma, kidneys, and lungs. RESULTS Hemorrhagic shock significantly reduced continuously perfused capillaries (7 ± 2 vs. 11 ± 2) and increased nonperfused vessels (9 ± 3 vs. 5 ± 2) during hemorrhagic shock, which could not be restored by fluid resuscitation. Hemorrhagic shock increased circulating angiopoietin-2 and soluble Tie2 significantly, which associated with microcirculatory perfusion disturbances. Hemorrhagic shock significantly decreased Tie2 gene expression in kidneys and lungs and induced microvascular leakage in kidneys (19.7 ± 11.3 vs. 5.2 ± 3.0 µg/g) and lungs (16.1 ± 7.0 vs. 8.6 ± 2.7 µg/g). Vasculotide had no effect on hemodynamics and microcirculatory perfusion during hemorrhagic shock but restored microcirculatory perfusion during fluid resuscitation. Interestingly, vasculotide attenuated microvascular leakage in lungs (10.1 ± 3.3 µg/g) and significantly reduced the required amount of volume supplementation (1.3 ± 1.4 vs. 2.8 ± 1.5 ml). Furthermore, vasculotide posttreatment was also able to restore microcirculatory perfusion during fluid resuscitation. CONCLUSIONS Targeting Tie2 restored microvascular leakage and microcirculatory perfusion and reduced fluid resuscitation requirements in an experimental model of hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, the angiopoietin/Tie2 system seems to be a promising target in restoring microvascular integrity and may reduce organ failure during hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW A discussion of recent research exploring the feasibility of perfusion-guided resuscitation of acute circulatory failure with a focus on lactate and microcirculation. RECENT FINDINGS Upon diagnosis of shock, hyperlactemia is associated with poor outcome and, under appropriate clinical circumstances, may reflect inadequate tissue perfusion. Persistent hyperlactemia despite resuscitation is even more strongly correlated with morbidity and mortality. Importantly, there is minimal coherence between lactate trends and static hemodynamic measures such as blood pressure, especially after the initial, hypovolemic phase of shock. During this early period, lactate guided-resuscitation is effective and possibly superior to hemodynamic-guided resuscitation. Similar to hyperlactemia, impaired microcirculation is ubiquitous in shock and is evident even in the setting of hemodynamic compensation (i.e., occult shock). Moreover, persistent microcirculatory derangement is associated with poor outcome and may reflect ongoing shock and/or long-lasting damage. Although the wait continues for a microcirculation-guided resuscitation trial, there is progress toward this goal. SUMMARY Although questions remain, a multimodal perfusion-based approach to resuscitation is emerging with lactate and microcirculation as core measures. In this model, hyperlactemia and microcirculatory derangement support the diagnosis of shock, may help guide resuscitation during the initial period, and may reflect resuscitation efficacy and iatrogenic harm (e.g., fluid overload).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sublingual microcirculatory monitoring for traumatic haemorrhagic shock (THS) may predict clinical outcomes better than traditional blood pressure and cardiac output, but is not usually performed until the patient reaches the intensive care unit (ICU), missing earlier data of potential importance. This pilot study assessed for the first time the feasibility and safety of sublingual video-microscopy for THS in the emergency department (ED), and whether it yields useable data for analysis. SETTING A safety and feasibility assessment was undertaken as part of the prospective observational MICROSHOCK study; sublingual video-microscopy was performed at the UK-led Role 3 medical facility at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, and in the ED in 3 UK Major Trauma Centres. PARTICIPANTS There were 15 casualties (2 military, 13 civilian) who presented with traumatic haemorrhagic shock with a median injury severity score of 26. The median age was 41; the majority (n=12) were male. The most common injury mechanism was road traffic accident. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Safety and feasibility were the primary outcomes, as measured by lack of adverse events or clinical interruptions, and successful acquisition and storage of data. The secondary outcome was the quality of acquired video clips according to validated criteria, in order to determine whether useful data could be obtained in this emergency context. RESULTS Video-microscopy was successfully performed and stored for analysis for all patients, yielding 161 video clips. There were no adverse events or episodes where clinical management was affected or interrupted. There were 104 (64.6%) video clips from 14 patients of sufficient quality for analysis. CONCLUSIONS Early sublingual microcirculatory monitoring in the ED for patients with THS is safe and feasible, even in a deployed military setting, and yields videos of satisfactory quality in a high proportion of cases. Further investigations of early microcirculatory behaviour in this context are warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02111109.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of fluid therapy is to improve the oxygenation of cells by improving the cardiac output, thus improving microcirculation by optimizing macrocirculation. This haemodynamic coherence is often altered in patients with haemorrhagic shock and sepsis. The loss of haemodynamic coherence is associated with adverse outcomes. It may be influenced by the mechanisms of the underlying disease and properties of different fluids used for resuscitation in these critically ill patients. Monitoring microcirculation and haemodynamic coherence may be an additional tool to predict the response to fluid administration. In addition, microcirculatory analysis may support the clinician in his decision to not administer fluids when microcirculatory blood flow is preserved. In future, the indication, guidance and termination of fluid therapy may be assessed by bedside microvascular analysis in combination with standard haemodynamic monitoring.
