[PMID: 38777153 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjms.2024.05.006] [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: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are one of the leading causes of hospitalization and are associated with significant mortality, it is particularly important to accurately assess the risk of exacerbations in COPD. Most of the current clinical biomarkers are related to inflammation and few consider how ion levels affect COPD. Chloride ion, the second most abundant serum electrolyte, has been shown to be associated with poor prognoses in several diseases, but their relationship with COPD remains unclear. METHODS In total, 105 patients with acute exacerbations of COPD were recruited. Data on clinical characteristics, lung function, blood count, blood biochemistry, relevant scales including the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ), BODE (BMI, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, exercise capacity) index and the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) were collected from all patients for statistical analysis. RESULT There were significant differences in lung function indicators and disease severity in the low chloride ion subgroup compared with the high chloride ion subgroup. On multiple logistic regression analysis, chloride ion was an independent factor affecting lung function in COPD patients (OR = 0.808, 95% CI: 0.708 - 0.922, p = 0.002). The sensitivity of chloride ion in predicting COPD severity was 78%, the specificity was 63%, and the area under the curve was 0.734 (p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that chloride ion was a stronger predictor in male and smoking patients. CONCLUSIONS Chloride ion was a novel prognostic biomarker for COPD, and low levels of chloride ion were independently associated with exacerbations in COPD patients.

Elevated blood lactate in COPD exacerbations associates with adverse clinical outcomes and signals excessive treatment with β 2 -agonists. Respirology 2023; 28:860-868. [PMID: 37400102 DOI: 10.1111/resp.14534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Raised blood lactate secondary to high dose β2 -agonist treatment has been reported in asthma exacerbations but has not been investigated during acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). We explored associations of blood lactate measurements with disease outcomes and β2 -agonist treatments during AECOPD. METHODS Retrospective (n = 199) and prospective studies (n = 142) of patients hospitalized with AECOPD were conducted. The retrospective cohort was identified via medical records and the prospective cohort was recruited during hospitalization for AECOPD. Baseline demographics, comorbidities, β2 -agonist treatment, biochemical measurements and clinical outcomes were compared between patients with normal (≤2.0 mmol/L) versus elevated lactate (>2.0 mmol/L). Regression analyses examined associations of lactate measurements with β2 -agonist dosages. RESULTS Demographic data and comorbidities were similar between high versus normal lactate groups in both cohorts. The populations were elderly (mean >70 years), predominantly male (>60%) with reduced FEV1 (%) 48.2 ± 19 (prospective cohort). Lactate was elevated in approximately 50% of patients during AECOPD and not related to evidence of sepsis. In the prospective cohort, patients with high lactate had more tachypnoea, tachycardia, acidosis and hyperglycaemia (p < 0.05) and received more non-invasive ventilation (37% vs. 9.7%, p < 0.001, prospective cohort). There was a trend to longer hospitalization (6 vs. 5 days, p = 0.06, prospective cohort). Higher cumulative β2 -agonist dosages were linked to elevated lactate levels (OR 1.04, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Elevated lactate during AECOPD was common, unrelated to sepsis and correlated with high cumulative doses of β2 -agonists. Raised lactate may indicate excessive β2 -agonist treatment and should now be investigated as a possible biomarker.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic intractable lung disease. To investigate the therapeutic effect, older adult patients were subjected to aerobic exercise and respiratory rehabilitation (diaphragmatic breathing) for six months. At the end of six-month intervention, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), 6-minute walking distance (6 MWD), and patient activation measure scores increased; St. George's respiratory questionnaire scores and disease impact score decreased; and PaCO2 and PaO2 were significantly improved in both groups, particularly in the experimental group. In addition, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, 6 MWD, blood gas levels, quality of life, and self-care ability in the experimental group were significantly improved compared with those in the control group, and the improvements were significantly greater in male, younger, and less diseased patients. Our study demonstrated that aerobic exercise combined with diaphragmatic breathing significantly improves respiratory function and quality of life in older adult patients.

Abstract
Modern intensive care medicine is caught between the conflicting demands of an efficient but also increasingly more technical intensive care treatment with numerous therapeutic options and, at the same time, an ageing society with increasing morbidity. This is reflected, among other things, in an increasing number of ventilated patients in intensive care units and an increasing proportion of patients for whom ventilation cannot easily be discontinued. Weaning from a ventilator, which can account for more than 50% of the total ventilation time, therefore plays a central role in this process. This main topic article presents the need for strategically wise and holistic actions to minimize the consequences of invasive mechanical ventilation for patients. An attempt is made to shed more light on individual aspects of the ventilation weaning process with high relevance for clinical practice. Especially for prolonged weaning from ventilation, many more concepts are needed than simply ending ventilation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing emergency high-risk abdominal surgery potentially suffer from both systemic dehydration and hypovolaemia. Data on the prevalence and clinical impact of electrolyte disturbances in this patient group, specifically the differences in patients with intestinal obstruction (IO) versus perforated viscus (PV) are lacking. METHODS Adult patients undergoing emergency high-risk abdominal surgery in a standardized perioperative pathway were included in this retrospective single-center cohort study. Electrolytes and arterial blood gas analysis were measured during the early perioperative period. Prevalence and clinical impact of electrolyte disturbances were assessed. RESULTS A total of 354 patients were included in the study. Preoperative alkalemia dominated preoperatively, significantly more prevalent in IO (45 vs. 32%, p < .001), while acidosis was most pronounced postoperatively in PV (49 vs. 28%, p < .0001). Preoperative hypochloraemia and hypokalemia were more frequent in the IO (34 vs. 20% and 37 vs. 25%, respectively). Hyponatremia was highly prevalent in both IO and PV. Pre- and postoperative hypochloremia were independently associated with 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients with IO (OR 2.87 (1.35, 6.23) p = 0.006, OR 6.86 (1.71, 32.2) p = 0.009, respectively). Hypochloremic patients presented with reduced long-term survival as compared with the normo- and hyperchloremic patients (p < 0.05). Neither plasma sodium nor potassium showed a significant association with outcome. CONCLUSION These observations suggest that acute high-risk abdominal patients have frequent preoperative alkalosis shifting to postoperative acidosis. Both pre- and postoperative hypochloremia were independently associated with both impaired short- and long-term outcome in patients with intestinal obstruction, with potential implications for the choice of resuscitations fluids.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the prevalence, characteristic, outcome, and acid-base biomarker predictors of outcome for different acidemia subtypes. METHODS We used national intensive care databases from three countries and classified acidemia subtypes as metabolic (standard base excess [SBE] < -2 mEq/L only), respiratory (PaCO2 > 42 mmHg only), and combined (both SBE < -2 mEq/L and PaCO2 > 42 mmHg) based on blood gas analysis in the first 24 h after ICU admission. To investigate acid-base predictors for hospital mortality, we applied the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve approach. RESULTS We screened 643,689 ICU patients (2014-2018) and detected acidemia in 57.8%. The most common subtype was metabolic (42.9%), followed by combined (30.3%) and respiratory (25.9%). Combined acidemia had a mortality of 12.7%, compared with 11% for metabolic and 5.5% for respiratory. For combined acidemia, the best predictor of hospital mortality was pH. However, for metabolic or respiratory acidemia, it was SBE or PaCO2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In ICU patients with acidemia, mortality differs according to subtype and is highest in the combined subtype. Best acid-base predictors of mortality also differ according to subtype with best performance for pH in combined, SBE in metabolic, and PaCO2 in respiratory acidemia.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential part of modern intensive care medicine. MV is performed in patients with severe respiratory failure caused by respiratory muscle insufficiency and/or lung parenchymal disease; that is, when other treatments such as medication, oxygen administration, secretion management, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or nasal high-flow therapy have failed. MV is required for maintaining gas exchange and allows more time to curatively treat the underlying cause of respiratory failure. In the majority of ventilated patients, liberation or "weaning" from MV is routine, without the occurrence of any major problems. However, approximately 20% of patients require ongoing MV, despite amelioration of the conditions that precipitated the need for it in the first place. Approximately 40-50% of the time spent on MV is required to liberate the patient from the ventilator, a process called "weaning". In addition to acute respiratory failure, numerous factors can influence the duration and success rate of the weaning process; these include age, comorbidities, and conditions and complications acquired during the ICU stay. According to international consensus, "prolonged weaning" is defined as the weaning process in patients who have failed at least 3 weaning attempts, or require more than 7 days of weaning after the first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Given that prolonged weaning is a complex process, an interdisciplinary approach is essential for it to be successful. In specialised weaning centres, approximately 50% of patients with initial weaning failure can be liberated from MV after prolonged weaning. However, the heterogeneity of patients undergoing prolonged weaning precludes the direct comparison of individual centres. Patients with persistent weaning failure either die during the weaning process, or are discharged back to their home or to a long-term care facility with ongoing MV. Urged by the growing importance of prolonged weaning, this Sk2 Guideline was first published in 2014 as an initiative of the German Respiratory Society (DGP), in conjunction with other scientific societies involved in prolonged weaning. The emergence of new research, clinical study findings and registry data, as well as the accumulation of experience in daily practice, have made the revision of this guideline necessary. The following topics are dealt with in the present guideline: Definitions, epidemiology, weaning categories, underlying pathophysiology, prevention of prolonged weaning, treatment strategies in prolonged weaning, the weaning unit, discharge from hospital on MV, and recommendations for end-of-life decisions. Special emphasis was placed on the following themes: (1) A new classification of patient sub-groups in prolonged weaning. (2) Important aspects of pulmonary rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation in prolonged weaning. (3) Infrastructure and process organisation in the care of patients in prolonged weaning based on a continuous treatment concept. (4) Changes in therapeutic goals and communication with relatives. Aspects of paediatric weaning are addressed separately within individual chapters. The main aim of the revised guideline was to summarize both current evidence and expert-based knowledge on the topic of "prolonged weaning", and to use this information as a foundation for formulating recommendations related to "prolonged weaning", not only in acute medicine but also in the field of chronic intensive care medicine. The following professionals served as important addressees for this guideline: intensivists, pulmonary medicine specialists, anaesthesiologists, internists, cardiologists, surgeons, neurologists, paediatricians, geriatricians, palliative care clinicians, rehabilitation physicians, intensive/chronic care nurses, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, speech therapists, medical service of health insurance, and associated ventilator manufacturers.

Abstract
AbstractOur objective was to determine in children in the intensive care unit (ICU) the incidence of hyperchloremia (>110 mmol/L) and hypochloremia (<98 mmol/L), the association of diagnoses with chloride abnormalities, and the associations of mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI) with chloride abnormalities. We analyzed the initial, maximum, and minimum chloride measurements of 14,684 children in the ICU with ≥1 chloride measurement in the Health Facts database between 2009 and 2016. For hyperchloremia and hypochloremia compared with normochloremia, mortality rates increased three to fivefold and AKI rates increased 1.5 to threefold. The highest mortality rate (7.7%; n = 95/1,234) occurred with hyperchloremia in the minimum chloride measurement group and the highest AKI rate (7.7%; n = 72/930) occurred with hypochloremia in the initial chloride measurement group. The most common diagnostic categories associated with chloride abnormalities were injury and poisoning; respiratory; central nervous system; infectious and parasitic diseases; and endocrine, nutritional, metabolic, and immunity disorders. Controlled for race, gender, age, and diagnostic categories, mortality odds ratios, and AKI odds ratios were significantly higher for hyperchloremia and hypochloremia compared with normochloremia. In conclusion, hyperchloremia and hypochloremia are independently associated with mortality and AKI in children in the ICU.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of electrolyte and uric acid disturbances and their effects on mortality in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included all consecutive AECOPD patients who were managed at our Chest Diseases department between May 2017 and December 2017. Medical records of all the subjects were reviewed, and data were collected retrospectively. Eighty-one patients with AECOPD and 103 subjects in the control group were enrolled retrospectively. The association between the COPD and control groups and biochemical parameters in patients with and without long-term oxygen therapy and noninvasive mechanical ventilation treatment in COPD patients were compared with mortality. RESULTS Serum magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and calcium (Ca levels were higher in control subjects than in COPD patients (p=0.006, p=0.015, and p<0.001, respectively). While serum levels of Ca and K were significantly lower and serum level of uric acid was higher in deceased COPD patients than in alive AECOPD patients (p=0.023, p=0.001, and p=0.033, respectively), serum levels of Mg, P, and other biochemical parameters were similar. CONCLUSION Serum Ca, K, and uric acid levels during the exacerbation period were significant predictors of mortality in COPD patients. In conclusion, the levels of these parameters should be measured and corrected during AECOPD treatment to decrease mortality.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the blood gas and electrolyte balance in broiler chicks fed with diets containing different levels of vitamin premix (VM) and forms of trace minerals. VM was included at 30 or 100% of commercial levels. Trace minerals were provided as either inorganic (IOM) or organic trace minerals (OTM). This experiment, which used one-day-old male broiler chicks, featured a factorial treatment structure with four treatments using 12 replicate pens (22 chicks/pen), each arranged in a randomised complete block design. An i-STAT® handheld, point-of-care, clinical analyser, loaded with blood gas, lactate and electrolyte cartridges, was used to analyse blood samples. Significant interactions for vitamin levels and mineral form were observed for bicarbonate, base excess, total carbon dioxide, ionised calcium and haematocrit levels. Using OTM, but not IOM, in the premix resulted in blood gas and electrolyte values that were comparable to those in 100% VM-fed group. The consumption of 30% VM reduced pO2 (P<0.01), sO2 (P<0.01), pH (P=0.05) and K+ with concomitant increases in lactate, glucose and Na+ (P<0.03). However, OTM tended to reverse the Na+ effect (P=0.05) along with higher partial CO2 (P<0.05). These results demonstrated the negative effects of a 30% VM diet on blood gas and electrolyte balance, which triggered nutritionally induced metabolic acidosis. However, metabolic acidosis induced by underfeeding VM (30%) was restored or normalised by using OTM, but not IOM, in the vitamin-mineral premix.

ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 8:medsci8020022. [PMID: 32438557 PMCID: PMC7353470 DOI: 10.3390/medsci8020022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2020] [Revised: 05/11/2020] [Accepted: 05/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the one-year mortality risk based on discharge serum chloride among the hospital survivors. We analyzed a cohort of adult hospital survivors at a tertiary referral hospital from 2011 through 2013. We categorized discharge serum chloride; ≤96, 97–99, 100–102, 103–105, 106–108, and ≥109 mmoL/L. We performed Cox proportional hazard analysis to assess the association of discharge serum chloride with one-year mortality after hospital discharge, using discharge serum chloride of 103–105 mmoL/L as the reference group. Of 56,907 eligible patients, 9%, 14%, 26%, 28%, 16%, and 7% of patients had discharge serum chloride of ≤96, 97–99, 100–102, 103–105, 106–108, and ≥109 mmoL/L, respectively. We observed a U-shaped association of discharge serum chloride with one-year mortality, with nadir mortality associated with discharge serum chloride of 103–105 mmoL/L. When adjusting for potential confounders, including discharge serum sodium, discharge serum bicarbonate, and admission serum chloride, one-year mortality was significantly higher in both discharge serum chloride ≤99 hazard ratio (HR): 1.45 and 1.94 for discharge serum chloride of 97–99 and ≤96 mmoL/L, respectively; p < 0.001) and ≥109 mmoL/L (HR: 1.41; p < 0.001), compared with discharge serum chloride of 103–105 mmoL/L. The mortality risk did not differ when discharge serum chloride ranged from 100 to 108 mmoL/L. Of note, there was a significant interaction between admission and discharge serum chloride on one-year mortality. Serum chloride at hospital discharge in the optimal range of 100–108 mmoL/L predicted the favorable survival outcome. Both hypochloremia and hyperchloremia at discharge were associated with increased risk of one-year mortality, independent of admission serum chloride, discharge serum sodium, and serum bicarbonate.

Abstract
La bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive (BPCO) est une maladie systémique aux multiples atteintes, émaillée d’exacerbations. L’inflammation, l’hypoxémie, les troubles de la coagulation et les perturbations des interactions coeur–poumon expliquent en partie les atteintes non pulmonaires observées notamment lors d’exacerbations aiguës. Les événements cardiovasculaires sont la première cause de mortalité des patients BPCO, et leur recrudescence est observée pendant plusieurs semaines après une exacerbation. Aux urgences, la prise en charge des patients en exacerbation de BPCO repose donc en plus du support ventilatoire sur une bonne évaluation des potentielles pathologies associées telles que l’insuffisance cardiaque, l’ischémie myocardique, l’insuffisance rénale ou encore la maladie thromboembolique. Cette évaluation globale permet d’adapter les thérapeutiques parfois délétères sur la fonction cardiaque ou l’équilibre acide−base et de prendre en compte le risque extrapulmonaire dans le choix du parcours de soins du patient. Dans cette mise au point, nous abordons quelques explications physiologiques des multiples perturbations observées au cours de l’exacerbation de BPCO, et proposons une vision globale de l’évaluation de ces patients admis pour une dyspnée ou un autre motif pouvant être en rapport avec la BPCO.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive lung disease is a common and preventable disease. One of its
pathophysiological consequences is the presence of carbon dioxide retention due to hypoventilation
and ventilation/perfusion mismatch, which in consequence will cause a decrease in the acid/base
status of the patient. Whenever a patient develops an acute exacerbation, acute respiratory
hypercapnic failure will appear and the necessity of a hospital ward is a must. However, current
guidelines exist to better identify these patients and make an accurate diagnosis by using clinical
skills and laboratory data such as arterial blood gases. Once the patient is identified, rapid treatment
will help to diminish the hospital length and the avoidance of intensive care unit. On the other hand,
if there is the existence of comorbidities such as cardiac failure, gastroesophageal reflux disease,
pulmonary embolism or depression, it is likely that the patient will be admitted to the intensive care
unit with the requirement of intubation and mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Important features of both stable and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are skeletal muscle weakness and wasting. Limb muscle dysfunction during an exacerbation has been linked to various adverse outcomes, including prolonged hospitalization, readmission, and mortality. The contributing factors leading to muscle dysfunction are similar to those seen in stable COPD: disuse, nutrition/energy balance, hypercapnia, hypoxemia, electrolyte derangements, inflammation, and drugs (i.e., glucocorticoids). These factors may be the trigger for a downstream cascade of local inflammatory changes, pathway process alterations, and structural degradation. Ultimately, the clinical effects can be wide ranging and include reduced limb muscle strength. Current therapies, such as pulmonary/physical rehabilitation, have limited impact because of low participation rates. Recently, novel drugs have been developed in similar disorders, and learnings from these studies can be used as a foundation to facilitate discovery in patients hospitalized with a COPD exacerbation. Nevertheless, investigators should approach this patient population with knowledge of the limitations of each intervention. In this Concise Clinical Review, we provide an overview of acute muscle dysfunction in patients hospitalized with acute exacerbation of COPD and a strategic approach to drug development in this setting.

Combined effects of lung function, blood gases and kidney function on the exacerbation risk in stable COPD: Results from the COSYCONET cohort. Respir Med 2019; 154:18-26. [PMID: 31203096 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2019.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2019] [Revised: 05/26/2019] [Accepted: 06/10/2019] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
RATIONALE Alterations of acid-base metabolism are an important outcome predictor in acute exacerbations of COPD, whereas sufficient metabolic compensation and adequate renal function are associated with decreased mortality. In stable COPD there is, however, only limited information on the combined role of acid-base balance, blood gases, renal and respiratory function on exacerbation risk grading. METHODS We used baseline data of the COPD cohort COSYCONET, applying linear and logistic regression analyses, the results of which were implemented into a comprehensive structural equation model. As most informative parameters it comprised the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), lung function defined via forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), intrathoracic gas volume (ITGV) and (diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), moreover arterial oxygen content (CaO2), partial pressure of oxygen (PaCO2), base exess (BE) and exacerbation risk according to GOLD criteria. All measures were adjusted for age, gender, body-mass index, the current smoking status and pack years. RESULTS 1506 patients with stable COPD (GOLD grade 1-4; mean age 64.5 ± 8.1 y; mean FEV1 54 ± 18 %predicted, mean eGFR 82.3 ± 16.9 mL/min/1.73 m2) were included. BE was linked to eGFR, lung function and PaCO2 and played a role as indirect predictor of exacerbation risk via these measures; moreover, eGFR was directly linked to exacerbation risk. These associations remained significant after taking into account medication (diuretics, oral and inhaled corticosteroids), whereby corticosteroids had effects on exacerbation risk and lung function, diuretics on eGFR, BE and lung function. CONCLUSION Even in stable COPD acid-base metabolism plays a key integrative role in COPD risk assessment despite rather small deviations from normality. It partially mediates the effects of impairments in kidney function, which are also directly linked to exacerbation risk.

Abstract
We evaluated the influence of light sources and photoperiod on blood physiological variables in four trials. In each trial, 720 1-d-old Ross × Ross 708 chicks were randomly distributed into 12 environmentally controlled rooms (30 males/30 females/room). The experimental design was a 4 × 3 factorial treatments consisting of four light sources [incandescent (ICD, standard), compact fluorescent, neutral light emitting diode, and cool poultry-specific-filtered LED] and three photoperiods [long/continuous (23L:1D), regular/intermittent (2L:2D), and short/non-intermittent (8L:16D)] from d8-d56 at 50% relative humidity. Birds were fed the same diet, while feed and water were provided ad libitum. Blood samples were collected from the brachial wing vein on d 14, 28, 42, and 56 of age and analyzed immediately. Light sources had significant (P ≤ 0.05) effects on body weight (BW), and some of the selected blood physiological indices except Hb, Hct, Ca2+ angap, glucose, and corticosterone. Also, the photoperiods had significant (P ≤ 0.05) effects on BW and most of the selected blood physiological indices except HCO3-, angap, glucose, corticosterone, and T4. However, all these changes were still within the normal acid-base homeostasis and physiological ranges of this species. Acid-base regulation during the short photoperiod exposure had not deteriorated despite higher pCO2 that consequently decreased blood pH, due to a respiratory acidosis. Plasma corticosterone and glucose concentrations were not affected by treatments, suggesting an absence of physiological stress. It was concluded that the three LED light bulbs evaluated could be suitable for replacement of ICD along with the regular/intermittent photoperiod. Commercial poultry facilities can thereby reduce energy costs and optimize production efficiency without compromising the welfare of broilers grown to heavy weights (>3 kg).

Abstract
Sodium fluoroacetate (1080) is a highly toxic metabolic poison that has the potential because of its lack of defined color, odor, and taste and its high water solubility to be intentionally or unintentionally ingested through food adulteration. Although the mechanism of action for 1080 has been known since the 1950's, no known antidote exists. In an effort to better understand the cardiopulmonary impacts of 1080, we utilized whole-body plethysmography and telemeterized Sprague-Dawley rats which allowed for the real-time measurement of respiratory and cardiac parameters following exposure using a non-invasive assisted-drinking method. Overall, the animals showed marked depression of respiratory parameters over the course of 24 hours post-exposure and the development of hemorrhage in the lung tissue. Tidal volume was reduced by 30% in males and 60% in females at 24 hours post-exposure, and respiratory frequency was significantly depressed as well. In telemeterized female rats, we observed severe cardiac abnormalities, highlighted by a 50% reduction in heart rate, 75% reduction in systolic blood pressure, and a 3.5-fold lengthening of the QRS interval over the course of 24 hours. We also observed a reduction in core body temperature of nearly 15°C. Our study was able to describe the severe and pronounced effects of sodium fluoroacetate poisoning on cardiopulmonary function, the results of which indicate that both tissue specific and systemic deficits contribute to the toxicological progression of 1080 intoxication and will need to be accounted for when developing any potential countermeasure for 1080 poisoning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested that electrolyte disorders might be a negative prognostic factor for some diseases. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the prognostic role of electrolyte disorders in patients with stage I to III colorectal cancer who received radical surgical resection. DESIGN This study was retrospectively performed. SETTINGS The study was conducted at a single tertiary care center. PATIENTS Patients with colorectal cancer who underwent radical resection in between April 2007 and April 2014 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The Kaplan-Meier method was adopted to estimate the overall and disease-free survival with and without propensity score matching. RESULTS In total, our study recruited 5089 eligible patients. In prematching analysis, patients with hypochloremia showed both shorter overall survival (HR = 0.943 (95% CI, 0.908-0.980); p = 0.003) and disease-free survival (HR = 0.957 (95% CI, 0.933-0.981); p < 0.001) than those with normal serum chloride levels. In postmatching analysis, 770 patients from each group were compared, and the results further confirmed that hypochloremia was significantly associated with worse overall survival (HR = 0.646 (95% CI, 0.489-0.855); p = 0.002) and disease-free survival (HR = 0.782 (95% CI, 0.647-0.944); p = 0.01), with the hypochloremia group as a reference. LIMITATIONS The study was limited by its retrospective nature. CONCLUSIONS Hypochloremia diagnosed before treatment can independently prognosticate the overall and disease-free survival for patients with stage I to Ш colorectal cancer after radical resection. Intensive surveillance and management might improve the survival outcome for patients with hypochloremia. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A727.

Abstract
Although hypo- and hyperchloremia have been associated with worsening renal outcomes, there has been no study that correlates hypo- and hyperchloremia and the incidence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). A total of 13,088 patients with less than 2.0 mg/dL of serum creatinine (Cr) who underwent contrast-enhanced abdominal CT (CECT) were included. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on Cl (the hypo-, normo- and hyperchloremia groups). Patients were also classified by baseline Cr (<1.2; the ‘Normal Cr group’ and 1.2–2.0 mg/dL; the ‘Slightly increased Cr group’). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to reveal the association between Cl and CA-AKI. Among patients, 2,525 (19.3%) and 241 (1.8%) patients were classified in the hypo- and hyperchloremia group. The incidence of CA-AKI was significantly lower in the normochloremia group (4.0%) compared to the hypo- (5.4%) and hyperchloremia groups (9.5%). On multivariate logistic regression, hypochloremia was significantly associated with the incidence of CA-AKI compared with normochloremia (1.382, P = 0.002). Moreover, hypochloremia was still significantly associated with the incidence of CA-AKI in ‘Normal Cr group’ compared with normochloremia (1.314, P = 0.015), while hyperchloremia did not show significant association with CA-AKI incidence. In conclusion, hypochloremia might be associated with the incidence of CA-AKI even in patients who have normal-range Cr levels.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Four thousand nine hundred one patients were admitted throughout the study period; 1,609 met criteria for metabolic acidosis and 145 had normal acid-base values. The association between at admission lactate, unmeasured anions, and chloride concentration with outcome was assessed by multivariate analysis in the whole cohort and in patients with metabolic acidosis. We also compared the mortality of patients with lactic, unmeasured anions, and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with that of patients without acid-base disorders. In the whole population, increased lactate and unmeasured anions were independently associated with increased mortality, even after adjusting for potential confounders (odds ratio [95% CI], 1.14 (1.08-1.20); p < 0.0001 and 1.04 (1.02-1.06); p < 0.0001, respectively). In patients with metabolic acidosis, the results were similar. Patients with lactic and unmeasured anions acidosis, but not those with hyperchloremic acidosis, had an increased mortality compared to patients without alterations (17.7%, 12.7%, 4.9%, and 5.8%, respectively; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In this large cohort of critically ill patients, increased concentrations of lactate and unmeasured anions, but not chloride, were associated with increased mortality. In addition, increased unmeasured anions were the leading cause of metabolic acidosis.

An increased chloride level in hypochloremia is associated with decreased mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Sci Rep 2017; 7:15883. [PMID: 29162885 PMCID: PMC5698440 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-16238-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2017] [Accepted: 11/10/2017] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Only a few observational studies investigated the association between hypochloremia and mortality in critically ill patients, and these studies included small number of septic patients. Also, no study has evaluated the effect of an increase in chloride (Cl-) concentration in hypochloremia on the mortality. A total of 843 Korean septic patients were divided into three groups based on their baseline Cl- level, and Cox analyses were performed to evaluate the 28-day mortality. Moreover, the change in Cl- level (ΔCl) from baseline to 24, 48, or 72 hour was determined, and Cox analyses were also conducted to evaluate the relationship of ΔCl with mortality. 301 (35.7%) patients were hypochloremic (Cl- < 97 mEq/L), and 38 (4.5%) patients were hyperchloremic (Cl- > 110 mEq/L). During the follow-up period, 119 (14.1%) patients died. Hypochloremia was significantly associated with an increased mortality after adjusting for several variables, but an 1 mEq/L increase of ΔCl within 24 hour in patients with hypochloremia was significantly related to a decreased mortality. Caution might be required in severe septic patients with hypochloremia considering their increased mortality rate. However, an increased Cl- concentration might decrease the mortality rate of such patients.

Abstract
Over the past few years, chloride has joined the league of essential electrolytes for critically ill patients. Dyschloremia can occur secondary to various etiologic factors before and during patient admission in the intensive care unit. Some cases are disease-related; others, treatment-related. Chloride abnormalities were shown in animal models to have adverse effects on arterial blood pressure, renal blood flow, and inflammatory markers, which have led to several clinical investigations. Hyperchloremia was studied in several settings and correlated to different outcomes, including death and acute kidney injury. Baseline hypochloremia, to a much lesser extent, has been studied and associated with similar outcomes. The chloride content of resuscitation fluids was also a subject of clinical research. In this review, we describe the effect of dyschloremia on outcomes in critically ill patients. We review the major studies assessing the chloride content of resuscitation fluids in the critically ill patient.

Abstract
Last two decades, active use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has provided a significant improvement in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), both in patients with acute exacerbation and in stable patients. Currently, NIV is the first-line treatment for patients with acute exacerbation of COPD and acute hypercapnic respiratory failure. This method of respiratory support is also effective after extubation, as it could facilitate weaning from the ventilator and affects positively prevention and treatment of postextubation respiratory failure. Also, NIV has been successfully used in co-morbidity of COPD and sleep apnea syndrome, COPD and pneumonia, and in early postoperative period after thoracic surgery. NIV can be used in COPD patients with chronic respiratory failure. Long-term NIV at home is more reasonable in patients with daytime hypercapnia. The most effective strategy of respiratory support in COPD is thought to be decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood, i.e. high-intensity NIV. Currently available portable non-invasive ventilators could improve significantly physical activity of patients with severe COPD.

Abstract
Introduction Dyschloremia is common in critically ill patients, although its impact has not been well studied. We investigated the epidemiology of dyschloremia and its associations with the incidence of acute kidney injury and other intensive care unit outcomes. Material and Methods This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study at Mayo Clinic Hospital—Rochester. All adult patients admitted to intensive care units from January 1st, 2006, through December 30th, 2012 were included. Patients with known acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease stage 5 before intensive care unit admission were excluded. We evaluated the association of dyschloremia with ICU outcomes, after adjustments for the effect of age, gender, Charlson comorbidity index and severity of illness score. Results A total of 6,025 patients were enrolled in the final analysis following the implementation of eligibility criteria. From the cohort, 1,970 patients (33%) developed acute kidney injury. Of the total patients enrolled, 4,174 had a baseline serum chloride. In this group, 1,530 (37%) had hypochloremia, and 257 (6%) were hyperchloremic. The incidence of acute kidney injury was higher in hypochloremic and hyperchloremic patients compared to those with a normal serum chloride level (43% vs.30% and 34% vs. 30%, respectively; P < .001). Baseline serum chloride was lower in the acute kidney injury group vs. the non-acute kidney injury group [100 mmol/L (96–104) vs. 102 mmol/L (98–105), P < .0001]. In a multivariable logistic regression model, baseline serum chloride of ≤94 mmol/L found to be independently associated with the risk of acute kidney injury (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1–2.6; P = .01). Discussion Dyschloremia is common in critically ill patients, and severe hypochloremia is independently associated with an increased risk of development of acute kidney injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoventilation produces or worsens respiratory acidosis in patients with hypercapnia due to acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). In these patients acid-base and hydroelectrolite balance are closely related. Aim of the present study was to evaluate acid-base and hydroelectrolite alterations in these subjects and the effect of non-invasive ventilation and pharmacological treatment. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 110 patients consecutively admitted to the Internal Medicine ward of Cava de' Tirreni Hospital for acute exacerbation of hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. On admission all patients received oxygen with a Venturi mask to maintain arterial oxygen saturation at least >90 %, and received appropriate pharmacological treatment. Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) was started when, despite optimal therapy, patients had severe dyspnea, increased work of breathing and respiratory acidosis. Based on Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) data, we divided the 110 patients in 3 groups: A = 51 patients with compensated respiratory acidosis; B = 36 patients with respiratory acidosis + metabolic alkalosis; and C = 23 patients with respiratory acidosis + metabolic acidosis. 55 patients received only conventional therapy and 55 had conventional therapy plus NIV. RESULTS The use of NIV support was lower in the patients belonging to group B than in those belonging to group A and C (25 %, vs 47 % and 96 % respectively; p < 0.01). A statistically significant association was found between pCO2 values and serum chloride concentrations both in the entire cohort and in the three separate groups. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that in hypercapnic respiratory acidosis due to AECOPD, differently from previous studies, the metabolic alkalosis is not a negative prognostic factor neither determines greater NIV support need, whereas the metabolic acidosis in addition to respiratory acidosis is an unfavourable element, since it determines an increased need of NIV and invasive mechanical ventilation support.

Abstract
Long daylength artificial light exposure associates with disorders, and a potential physiological mechanism has been proposed. However, previous studies have examined no more than three artificial light treatments and limited metabolic parameters, which have been insufficient to demonstrate mechanical responses. Here, comprehensive physiological response curves were established and the physiological mechanism was strengthened. Chicks were illuminated for 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, or 22 h periods each day. A quadratic relationship between abdominal adipose weight (AAW) and light period suggested that long-term or short-term light exposure could decrease the amount of AAW. Quantitative relationships between physiological parameters and daily light period were also established in this study. The relationships between triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (TC), glucose (GLU), phosphorus (P) levels and daily light period could be described by quadratic regression models. TG levels, AAW, and BW positively correlated with each other, suggesting long-term light exposure significantly increased AAW by increasing TG thus resulting in greater BW. A positive correlation between blood triiodothyronine (T3) levels and BW suggested that daily long-term light exposure increased BW by thyroid hormone secretion. Though the molecular pathway remains unknown, these results suggest a comprehensive physiological mechanism through which light exposure affects growth.

Abstract
Background Although chloride is one of the major electrolytes measured routinely in dairy practice, the amount of attention chloride receives in critically ill patients is limited. There are still a few studies reporting the incidence of derangements of chloride and its association with patients' outcomes. Accordingly, we conducted a retrospective study to assess the prevalence of abnormality of serum chloride level in postoperative patients in the intensive care unit on the early phase of surgery and its association with outcome. Methods We conducted a single-center retrospective observational study. All adult patients who underwent elective thoracic or abdominal surgery and required postoperative intensive care for more than 48 h between 2007 and 2011 were included. Chloride levels were measured on each morning of postoperative day 1 and day 2 in the intensive care unit. We defined all-cause hospital death as the primary outcome and compared serum chloride levels on postoperative day 1 and day 2 between hospital survivors and non-survivors. Comparisons among groups were conducted using the chi-square test for equal proportion, Mann-Whitney U tests, or Kruskal-Wallis test. Results Among 98 patients included in this study, hypochloremia (less than 98 mmol/L) during the first 48 h occurred in 14 patients (14.3%). The mortality in hypochloremia patients was 28.6%, which is significantly higher than 6.0% in patients with normal chloride concentration (p = 0.007). Even after being adjusted for severity of illness, the incidence of hypochloremia was independently associated with the risk of hospital death (adjusted odds ratio 5.8 (1.1, 30.2), p = 0.04). Hyperchloremia (more than 112 mmol/L) occurred in one patient (1.0%), who was discharged from the hospital at day 9. There was no significant difference in the total volume of infused fluid (p = 0.30), sum of chloride administration (p = 0.33), and use of furosemide (p = 0.75) from intensive care unit admission to the morning of postoperative day 2 between survivors and non-survivors. Conclusions Hypochloremia observed within 48 h after surgery was not rare and was independently associated with the increased risk of hospital death. Hypochloremia might be a useful indicator of prognosis for patients in the postoperative intensive care unit.

Abstract
The effects of genetic strain, light intensity, and their interaction were examined on blood physiological variables of broilers maintained in environmentally controlled rooms in each of 5 trials. The study consisted of a 2 × 5 factorial arranged in a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments of 2 strains (Ross × Ross 308 and 708) and exposure to 5 light intensities (25, 10, 5, 2.5, and 0.2 lx) with chicks equally and randomly distributed at 1 d of age. The 5 light intensities were randomly assigned from 22 to 56 d of age. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. Venous blood samples were collected on d 21 (base line), 28, 42, and 56 of age. Main effects indicate that Ross × Ross 308 significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased BW, partial pressure of CO2, Ca(2+), Na(+), Cl(-), and thyroxine, along with significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reduced pH level, partial pressure of O2, HCO3(-), and triiodothyronine in comparison with Ross × Ross 708. No main effect of light intensity was observed on all examined variables. In addition, no significant main effects were observed for strain, light intensity, or their interaction on saturated O2, hematocrit, hemoglobin, K(+), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, glucose, osmolality, and anion gap. Physiologically, although Ross × Ross 308 had a significantly increased BW in comparison with Ross × Ross 708, Ross × Ross 708 showed a significant (P ≤ 0.05) increase in partial pressure of O2 and triiodothyronine along with lower blood partial pressure of CO2 and thyroxine. The results of this study supplement current knowledge of physiological response to differing lighting levels and may be used to establish the normal blood values for commercial broilers grown to heavy weights. Plasma corticosterone was not affected by either treatments or strain, indicating that the treatments did not induce physiological stress in broilers.
