Cardiorespiratory physiological perturbations after acute smoke-induced lung injury and during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in sheep.

ABSTRACT: Background: Numerous successful therapies developed for human medicine involve animal experimentation. Animal studies that are focused solely on translational potential, may not sufficiently document unexpected outcomes. Considerable amounts of data from such studies could be used to advance veterinary science. For example, sheep are increasingly being used as models of intensive care and therefore, data arising from such models must be published. In this study, the hypothesis is that there is little information describing cardiorespiratory physiological data from sheep models of intensive care and the author aimed to analyse such data to provide biological information that is currently not available for sheep that received extracorporeal life support (ECLS) following acute smoke-induced lung injury. Methods: Nineteen mechanically ventilated adult ewes undergoing intensive care during evaluation of a form of ECLS (treatment) for acute lung injury were used to collate clinical observations. Eight sheep were injured by acute smoke inhalation prior to treatment (injured/treated), while another eight were not injured but treated (uninjured/treated). Two sheep were injured but not treated (injured/untreated), while one received room air instead of smoke as the injury and was not treated (placebo/untreated). The data were then analysed for 11 physiological categories and compared between the two treated groups. Results: Compared with the baseline, treatment contributed to and exacerbated the deterioration of pulmonary pathology by reducing lung compliance and the arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (PaO 2/FiO 2) ratio. The oxygen extraction index changes mirrored those of the PaO 2/FiO 2 ratio. Decreasing coronary perfusion pressure predicted the severity of cardiopulmonary injury. Conclusions: These novel observations could help in understanding similar pathology such as that which occurs in animal victims of smoke inhalation from house or bush fires, aspiration pneumonia secondary to tick paralysis and in the management of the severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in humans.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To determine RBC transfusion practice and relationships between RBC transfusion volume and mortality in infants and children treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. DESIGN:Secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study. SETTING:Eight pediatric institutions within the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network. PATIENTS:Patients age less than 19 years old treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at a participating center. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Clinical data and target hemoglobin or hematocrit values (if set) were recorded daily by trained bedside extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialists and research coordinators. Laboratory values, including hemoglobin and hematocrit, were recorded daily using the value obtained closest to 8:00 AM. RBC transfusion was recorded as total daily volume in mL/kg. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between RBC transfusion volume and hospital mortality, accounting for potential confounders. Average goal hematocrits varied across the cohort with a range of 27.5-41.3%. Overall, actual average daily hematocrit was 36.8%, and average RBC transfusion volume was 29.4?mL/kg/d (17.4-49.7?mL/kg/d) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. On multivariable analysis, each additional 10?mL/kg/d of RBC transfusion volume was independently associated with a 9% increase in odds of hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 1.09 [1.02-1.16]; p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS:In this multicenter cohort of pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients, daily hematocrit levels were maintained at normal or near-normal values and RBC transfusion burden was high. RBC transfusion volume was independently associated with odds of mortality. Future clinical studies to identify optimum RBC transfusion thresholds for pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are urgently needed.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Intraoperative Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being applied as life-support for lung transplantation patients. However, factors associated with this procedure in lung transplantation patients have not yet been characterized. The aim of this study was to identify preoperative factors of intraoperative ECMO support during lung transplantation and to evaluated the outcome of lung transplantation patients supported with ECMO. METHODS:Patients underwent lung transplantation treated with and without ECMO in Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases between January 2015 to August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics and clinical variables were collected and analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors independently associated with intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during lung transplantation. RESULTS:During the study period, 138 patients underwent lung transplantation at our institution, the mean LAS was (56.63?±?18.39) (range, 32.79 to 88.70). Fourty four patients were treated with veno-venous/veno-arterial ECMO. Among the patients, 32 patients wean successfully ECMO after operation, 12 patients remain ECMO after operation, and 32 patients (62.74%) survived to hospital discharge. In multiple analysis, the following factors were associated with intraoperative ECMO support: advanced age, high PAP before operation, duration of mechanical ventilation before operation, a higher APACHE II and primary diagnosis for transplantation. The overall survival rates at 1, 3, and 12?months were 90.91, 72.73, and 56.81% in the ECMO group, and 95.40, 82.76, and 73.56% in the non-ECMO group, respectively (log-rank P?=?0.081). Patients who underwent single lung transplant had a lower survival rates in ECMO group as compared with non-ECMO group at 1, 3, and 12?months (90.47% vs 98.25, 71.43% vs 84.21, and 52.38% vs 75.44%) (log-rank P =?0.048). CONCLUSIONS:The preoperative factors of intraoperative ECMO support during lung transplantation included age, high PAP before operation, preoperative mechanical ventilation, a higher APACHE II and primary diagnosis for transplantation based on multivariate analysis.
