RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: If bilateral thyroid surgery is planned and staged thyroidectomy considered in case of loss of neuromonitoring signal (LOS), a waiting time of 20 minutes is suggested for evaluation of early nerve recovery. This recommendation is based on clinical observations and has not been thoroughly validated experimentally. METHODS: Sixteen pigs were randomly studied, and electromyogram (EMG) was continuously recorded during traction injury until an amplitude decrease of 70% from baseline (BL) (16 nerves) or LOS (16 nerves), and further during 40-minute recovery time. At the end of the experiments, vocal cord twitch was evaluated by video-laryngoscopy. RESULTS: In the 70% group, 8 of 16 nerves recovered to or above an amplitude of 50% of baseline after 20 minutes and finally one more after 40 minutes. In the LOS group, only one nerve showed recovery after 20 minutes and one more after 40 minutes. Video-laryngoscopy revealed good or strong vocal cord twitches, in 10 of 14 nerves in the 70% group and in only 2 of 14 nerves in the LOS group. CONCLUSIONS: The overall intraoperative recovery was low after LOS. Even after 70% amplitude depression, only half of the nerves showed recovery to amplitudes ≥50% of BL. Nerve recovery is dynamic, and a waiting time of 20 minutes seems appropriate for the identification of early nerve recovery before decisions are taken to continue or terminate surgery. The final EMG amplitude was not always well correlated with estimated vocal cord twitch, evaluated by video-laryngoscopy. This observation needs further investigation.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Gradual impairment of nerve conduction is expected to be tightly associated with simultaneous gradual loss of vocal cord contractility, related to the fact that injured axons are connected to a defined number of muscle cells. In clinical studies, there is a time gap between observed adverse electromyographic (EMG) changes and examination of vocal cord function. This study evaluates the impact of intraoperative EMG changes on synchronous vocal cord contractility by simultaneous use of continuous intraoperative neuromonitoring (C-IONM) and accelerometry for registration of actual vocal cord function at a given change of EMG amplitude. METHODS: EMG was obtained following vagus nerve stimulation by use of C-IONM. A vocal cord accelerometer probe that could be attached to the vocal cords was developed based on a LIS3DH ultra low-power high performance three axis linear accelerometer (STMicroelectronics, Geneva, Switzerland). Accelerometer data were registered continuously together with EMG data during traction injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) until an amplitude depression ≤100 µV. RESULTS: Six RLN from four immature domestic pigs were studied. Vocal cord contractility assessed by vocal cord accelerometry decreased in parallel with EMG amplitude, with significant correlations ranging from 0.707 to 0.968. CONCLUSION: Decrease of EMG amplitude during traction injury to the RLN injury is closely associated with a parallel drop in vocal cord contractility. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: NA Laryngoscope, 130:1090-1096, 2020.

AIMS: Currently, the decision to initiate extracorporeal life support for patients who suffer cardiac arrest due to accidental hypothermia is essentially based on serum potassium level. Our goal was to build a prediction score in order to determine the probability of survival following rewarming of hypothermic arrested patients based on several covariates available at admission. METHODS: We included consecutive hypothermic arrested patients who underwent rewarming with extracorporeal life support. The sample comprised 237 patients identified through the literature from 18 studies, and 49 additional patients obtained from hospital data collection. We considered nine potential predictors of survival: age; sex; core temperature; serum potassium level; mechanism of hypothermia; cardiac rhythm at admission; witnessed cardiac arrest, rewarming method and cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration prior to the initiation of extracorporeal life support. The primary outcome parameter was survival to hospital discharge. RESULTS: Overall, 106 of the 286 included patients survived (37%; 95% CI: 32-43%), most (84%) with a good neurological outcome. The final score included the following variables: age, sex, core temperature at admission, serum potassium level, mechanism of cooling, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration. The corresponding area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.895 (95% CI: 0.859-0.931) compared to 0.774 (95% CI: 0.720-0.828) when based on serum potassium level alone. CONCLUSIONS: In this large retrospective study we found that our score was superior to dichotomous triage based on serum potassium level in assessing which hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest would benefit from extracorporeal life support. External validation of our findings is required.

INTRODUCTION: The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) leads to increased fluid filtration and edema. The use of artificial colloids to counteract fluid extravasation during cardiac surgery is controversial. Beneficial effects on global fluid loading, leading to better cardiac performance and hemodynamics, have been claimed. However, renal function and coagulation may be adversely affected, with unfavorable impact on outcome following cardiac surgery. METHODS: Forty patients were randomly allocated to study groups receiving either acetated Ringer's solution (CT group) or hydroxyethyl starch (HES group, Tetraspan®) as CPB priming solution. Fluid balance, bleeding and hemodynamics, including cardiac output, were followed postoperatively. The occurrence of acute kidney injury was closely registered. RESULTS: Two patients were excluded from further analyzes due to surgical complications. Fluid accumulation was attenuated in the HES group (3374 (883) ml) compared with the CT group (4328 (1469) ml) (p=0.024). The reduced perioperative fluid accumulation was accompanied by an increased cardiac index immediately after surgery (2.7 (0.4) L/min/m2 in the HES group and 2.1 (0.3) L/min/m2 in the CT group (p<0.001)). No increase in bleeding could be demonstrated in the HES group. Three patients, all of them in the HES group, experienced acute kidney injury postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: CPB priming with HES solution lowers fluid loading during bypass and improves cardiac function in the early postoperative period. The manifestation of acute kidney injury exclusively in the HES group of patients raises doubts about the use of HES products in conjunction with cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury during surgery may reveal differences in electromyographic (EMG) changes after sustained compression or traction. METHODS: In 20 pigs with the NIM-FLEX EMG-endotracheal tube, EMG was recorded at baseline, during sustained RLN compression, or traction until 70% amplitude decrease and during 30 minutes of recovery. RESULTS: Seventy percent amplitude decrease from baseline was reached after 110 ± 98 seconds (compression group) and 2034 ± 2108 seconds (traction group). Traction induced a pronounced latency increase, peaking at 122 ± 8% in contrast to compression with 106 ± 5% (P < .001). The EMG amplitude recovery to ≥50% of baseline failed in 7 nerves after compression and 8 nerves after traction. CONCLUSION: Compression caused a fast decrease of EMG amplitude with minor effects on latency. In contrast, RLN traction showed early and significant latency increase preceding a delayed amplitude decrease. Recovery rate of the EMG signals were similar in both groups.

OBJECTIVE: Use of deep hypothermic low-flow (DHLF) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been associated with higher fluid loading than the use of deep hypothermia circulatory arrest (DHCA). We evaluated whether these perfusion strategies influenced fluid extravasation rates and edema generation differently per-operatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve anesthetized pigs, randomly allocated to DHLF (n = 6) or DHCA (n = 6), underwent 2.5 hours CPB with cooling to 20°C for 30 minutes (min), followed by 30 min arrested circulation (DHCA) or 30 min low-flow circulation (DHLF) before 90 min rewarming to normothermia. Perfusion of tissues, fluid requirements, plasma volumes, colloid osmotic pressures and total tissue water contents were recorded and fluid extravasation rates calculated. During the experiments, cerebral microdialysis was performed in both groups. RESULTS: Microvascular fluid homeostasis was similar in both groups, with no between-group differences, reflected by similar fluid extravasation rates, plasma colloid osmotic pressures and total tissue water contents. Although extravasation rates increased dramatically from 0.10 (0.11) ml/kg/min (mean with standard deviation in parentheses) and 0.16 (0.02) ml/kg/min to 1.28 (0.58) ml/kg/min and 1.06 (0.41) ml/kg/min (DHCA and DHLF, respectively) after the initiation of CPB, fluid filtrations during both cardiac arrest and low flow were modest and close to baseline values. Cerebral microdialysis indicated anaerobic metabolism and ischemic brain injury in the DHCA group. CONCLUSION: No differences in microvascular fluid exchange could be demonstrated as a direct effect of DHCA compared with DHLF. Thirty minutes of DHCA was associated with anaerobic cerebral metabolism and possible brain injury.

PURPOSE: Traction is the most common cause of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in endocrine neck surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate specific alterations to the electromyogram (EMG) and verify safe alarm limits in a porcine model of sustained traction of the RLN using continuous intraoperative neuromonitoring (C-IONM). METHODS: Sixteen Norwegian Landrace pigs were anesthetized and intubated with a tracheal tube with a stick-on laryngeal electrode. EMG was recorded at baseline (BL) and during sustained traction applied to each RLN until 70 % amplitude decrease from BL, and during 30-min recovery. RESULTS: In 29 nerves at risk (NAR), BL amplitude and latency values were 1098 ± 418 (586-2255) µV (mean ± SD (range)) (right vagus) and 845 ± 289 (522-1634) µV (left vagus), and 4.7 ± 0.5 (4.1-5.9) ms and 7.9 ± 0.8 (6.7-9.6) ms, respectively. At 50 % amplitude decrease, latency increased by 14.0 ± 5.7 % (right side) and 14.5 ± 9.1 % (left side) compared with BL. Corresponding values for 70 % amplitude depression were 17.9 ± 6.1 % and 17.3 ± 12.8 %. Traction time to 50 and 70 % amplitude decrease ranged from 3 to 133 min and 3.9-141 min, respectively. In 16 NAR (55 %), time from 50 to 70 % reduction in amplitude was ≤5 min, but in six NAR (21 %) ≤1 min. In only 11 (38 %) of 29 nerves, the amplitude recovered to more than 50 % of BL. CONCLUSIONS: Latency increase may be the first warning of RLN stretch injury. Given the short interval between 50 and 70 % amplitude reduction of the EMG, amplitude reduction by 50 % can be taken as an appropriate alert limit.

BACKGROUND: Accidental hypothermia with arrested circulation remains a condition associated with high mortality. In our institution, extracorporeal circulation (ECC) rewarming has been the cornerstone in treating such patients since 1987. We here explore characteristics and outcomes of this treatment, to identify significant merits and challenges from 3 decades of experience in ECC rewarming. METHODS: Sixty-nine patients rewarmed by ECC during the period from December 1987 to December 2015 were analyzed. One patient was excluded from the analyses because of combined traumatic cerebral injury. The analysis was focused on patient characteristics, treatment procedures, and outcomes were focused. Survivors were evaluated according to the cerebral performance categories scale. Simple statistics with nonparametric tests and χ2 tests were used. Median value and range are reported. RESULTS: Median age was 30 years (minimum 1.5, maximum 76), and the cause of accidental hypothermia was cold exposure (27.9%), avalanche (5.9%), and immersion/submersion accidents (66.2%). Eighteen patients survived (26.5%). The survival rate did not improve during the years. Survivors had lower serum potassium (p = 0.002), higher pH (p = 0.03), lower core temperature (p = 0.02), and shorter cardiopulmonary resuscitation time (p = 0.001), but ranges were wide. Although suspected primary hypoxia and hypothermia were associated with lower survival, we observed a 10.5% survival of these victims. Sixteen survivors had good outcome (cerebral performance category 1 or 2), whereas 2 patients with suspected primary hypoxia survived with severe cerebral disability (cerebral performance category 3). CONCLUSIONS: Despite extended experience with ECC rewarming, improved handling strategies, and intensive care, no overall improvement in survival was observed. Good outcome was observed even among patients with a dismal prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Pulsatile versus nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) perfusion remains debated. Beneficial effects on tissue perfusion, inflammation, and microvascular fluid exchange have been linked to pulsatile perfusion by some investigators and denied by others. This study evaluated fluid extravasation and tissue perfusion during nonpulsatile or pulsatile roller pump-induced CPB perfusion. METHODS: Fourteen pigs underwent roller pump-induced pulsatile (n = 7) or nonpulsatile CPB perfusion (n = 7) for 90 minutes. Fluid input/losses, colloid osmotic pressures (plasma/interstitium), hematocrit, serum electrolytes, serum proteins, tissue perfusion, and total tissue water content were measured, and plasma volume and fluid extravasation were calculated. RESULTS: Fluid additions/losses, plasma volume, and fluid extravasation changed similarly in both groups during CPB with no between-group differences. Neither was between-group differences observed for tissue perfusion and total tissue water content, with one exception. Total tissue water content of the right (3.92 ± 0.26 versus 4.32 ± 0.28 g/g dry weight) and left ventricle (4.02 ± 0.25 versus 4.33 ± 0.24 g/g dry weight) was lowered in the pulsatile group. CONCLUSIONS: No important differences were found between pulsatile and nonpulsatile CPB perfusion for microvascular fluid balance and tissue perfusion.

BACKGROUND: Insulin has been shown to stabilize the endothelial barrier via inactivation of the endothelial contractile machinery and enhancement of cell-cell adhesions. Here we explored if insulin by its endothelial-stabilizing and anti-inflammatory properties could influence the increase of fluid- and protein-extravasation during hypothermia. METHODS: Two groups of animals (n=10, each) were cooled to 28°C, with insulin-infusion (I-group) or without (C-group), in a randomly controlled study. Fluid balance, hemodynamics, plasma volume (PV), colloid osmotic pressures in plasma (COPp) and interstitial fluid (COPi), hematocrit (Hct), cytokine profiles, serum-albumin- and protein-concentrations were measured and fluid extravasation rate (FER) and albumin-and protein-masses calculated. RESULTS: During 240 min of hypothermia the albumin- and protein-masses together with COPp decreased significantly in both groups. COPi remained essentially unchanged. Plasma volume decreased significantly in the C-group, whereas only a decreasing trend was present in the I-group. Hemoconcentration was significant in both study groups reflected by the Hct-values. A slight increasing trend of FER was seen in both groups from 0.10 (0.04) ml/kg/min and 0.09 (0.05) mg/kg/min, C-group and I-group, respectively, to 0.14 (0.05) mg/kg/min and 0.12 (0.03) mg/kg/min, during the hypothermic period. Between-group differences were absent for all listed parameters including FER. CONCLUSION: Insulin administration does not impact fluid and protein extravasation significantly in animals undergoing cooling and prolonged hypothermia.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have focused on the use of fixed-rate intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to achieve pulsatile flow. Because application of an IABP catheter may represent a functional obstruction within the descending aorta, we explored the effect of IABP-pulsed CPB-perfusion with special attention to perfusion above and below the IABP balloon. METHODS: Sixteen animals received an IABP catheter that remained turned off position (NP group, n = 8) or was switched to an automatic mode of 80 beats/min during CPB (PP group, n = 8). Flow-data and pressure-data were obtained above and below the IABP balloon. Tissue perfusion was evaluated by microspheres. RESULTS: IABP-pulsed CPB-perfusion, as assessed at 30 minutes on CPB, increased proximal mean aortic pressure (p < 0.05) and carotid artery blood flow (p < 0.001), but decreased distal mean aortic pressure (p < 0.001). The decrease of distal mean aortic pressure in the PP group was associated with a 75 % decrease (p < 0.001) of renal tissue perfusion. During nonpulsed perfusion the respective variables remained essentially unchanged compared with pre-CPB levels. CONCLUSIONS: Using IABP as a surrogate to achieve pulsatile perfusion during CPB contributes significantly to lowered aortic pressure in the distal portion of aorta and impaired tissue perfusion of the kidneys. The results are focusing on effects that may contribute to organ dysfunction and acute kidney injury. Consequently, assessment of perfusion pressure distal to the balloon should be addressed whenever IABP is used during CPB.

BACKGROUND: Intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome contribute significantly to increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. This study describes pathophysiologic effects of the acutely elevated intra-abdominal pressure on microvascular fluid exchange and microcirculation. The resulting changes could contribute to development of organ dysfunction or failure. METHODS: 16 pigs were randomly allocated to a control-group (C-group) or an interventional group (P-group). After 60 min of stabilization, intra-abdominal pressure of the P-group animals was elevated to 15 mmHg by Helium insufflation and after 120 min to a level of 30 mmHg for two more hours. The C-group animals were observed without insufflation of gas. Laboratory and hemodynamic parameters, plasma volume, plasma colloid osmotic pressure, total tissue water content, tissue perfusion, markers of inflammation and cerebral energy metabolism were measured and net fluid balance and fluid extravasation rates calculated. Analysis of variance for repeated measurements with post-tests were used to evaluate the results with respect to differences within or between the groups. RESULTS: In the C-group hematocrit, net fluid balance, plasma volume and the fluid extravasation rate remained essentially unchanged throughout the study as opposed to the increase in hematocrit (P < 0.001), fluid extravasation rate (P < 0.05) and decrease in plasma volume (P < 0.001) of the P-group. Hemodynamic parameters remained stable or were slightly elevated in the C-group while the P-group demonstrated an increase in femoral venous pressure (P < 0.001), right atrial pressure (P < 0.001), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (P < 0.01) and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (P < 0.001). The protein mass decreased in both study groups but was significantly lower in the P-group as compared with the C-group, after 240 min of intervention. The increased intra-abdominal pressure was associated with elevated intracranial pressure and reduced tissue perfusion of the pancreas and the gastric- and intestinal mucosa. CONCLUSION: Elevation of intra-abdominal pressure has an immediate impact on microvascular fluid extravasation leading to plasma volume contraction, reduced cardiac output and deranged perfusion of abdominal organs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate how pulsed versus nonpulsed cardiopulmonary bypass influences microvascular fluid exchange in an experimental setup combining a nonpulsatile perfusion pump and an intra-aortic balloon pump. METHODS: A total of 16 pigs were randomized to pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion with an intra-aortic balloon pump switched to an automatic 80 beats/min mode after the start of cardiopulmonary bypass (pulsatile perfusion [PP] group, n = 8) or to nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass with the pump switched to the off position (nonpulsatile [NP] group, n = 8). Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass was initiated after 60 minutes of stabilization and continued for 3 hours. The fluid needs, plasma volume, colloid osmotic pressure in plasma, colloid osmotic pressure in interstitial fluid, hematocrit, and total tissue water content were recorded, and the protein masses and fluid extravasation rates were calculated. RESULTS: After cardiopulmonary bypass was started, the mean arterial pressure increased in the PP group and decreased in the NP group. At 180 minutes, the mean arterial pressure of the PP and NP groups was 70.9 ± 2.7 mm Hg and 55.9 ± 2.7 mm Hg, respectively (P = .004). The central venous pressure (right atrium) had decreased in the NP group (P = .002). A decreasing trend was seen in the PP group. No between-group differences were present. The hematocrit and colloid osmotic pressure in plasma and interstitial fluid had decreased similarly in both study groups during cardiopulmonary bypass. The plasma volume of the PP group had decreased initially but then returned gradually to precardiopulmonary bypass levels. In the NP group, the plasma volume remained contracted (P = .02). No significant differences in the fluid extravasation rate were obtained. The fluid extravasation rate of the PP group tended to stay slightly higher than the fluid extravasation rate of the NP group at all measurement intervals. The total tissue water content increased significantly in a number of organs compared with that in the control animals. However, differences in the total tissue water content between pulsed and nonpulsed perfusion were absent. CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences in the fluid extravasation rates were present between pulsed and nonpulsed cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion in the present experimental setup.

BACKGROUND: A highly positive intraoperative fluid balance should be prevented as it negatively impacts patient outcome. Analysis of volume-kinetics has identified an increase in interstitial fluid volume after crystalloid fluid loading during isoflurane anesthesia. Isoflurane has also been associated with postoperative hypoxemia and may be associated with an increase in alveolar epithelial permeability, edema formation, and hindered oxygen exchange. In this article, the authors compare fluid extravasation rates before and during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with isoflurane- versus propofol-based anesthesia. METHODS: Fourteen pigs underwent 2 h of tepid CPB with propofol (P-group; n = 7) or isoflurane anesthesia (I-group; n = 7). Fluid requirements, plasma volume, colloid osmotic pressures in plasma and interstitial fluid, hematocrit levels, and total tissue water content were recorded, and fluid extravasation rates calculated. RESULTS: Fluid extravasation rates increased in the I-group from the pre-CPB level of 0.27 (0.13) to 0.92 (0.36) ml·kg·min, but remained essentially unchanged in the P-group with significant between-group differences during CPB (pb = 0.002). The results are supported by corresponding changes in interstitial colloid osmotic pressure and total tissue water content. CONCLUSIONS: During CPB, isoflurane, in contrast to propofol, significantly contributes to a general increase in fluid shifts from the intravascular to the interstitial space with edema formation and a possible negative impact on postoperative organ function.

OBJECTIVE: To describe how surface cooling compared with core cooling influences fluid and protein distribution, vascular capacity and hemodynamic variables. METHODS: 14 anesthetized piglets were, following 60 min normothermic stabilization, randomly cooled by surface cooling (ice-sludge) (n=7) or core cooling (endovascular cooling) (n=7) to about 28 degrees C. Fluid balance, hemodynamic variables, colloid osmotic pressures (plasma/interstitial fluid), hematocrit, serum-albumin and -protein concentrations, intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral metabolic markers of ischemia were measured. Fluid shifts and changes in albumin and protein masses were calculated. At the end total tissue water content was assessed and compared with a normothermic control group. RESULTS: Both cooling modes induced an increase in fluid extravasation rate from 33.9 (31.9) and 27.8 (28.0) to 109.0 (16.5) (P=0.006) and 95.6 (29.1) ml/kg/min x 10(-3) (P=0.024) in the surface-cooled and core-cooled groups, respectively. Albumin extravasation was reflected by a significant drop in the albumin mass from 148.8 (11.7) to 111.4 (10.3) (P=0.000) and from 163.4 (27.8) to 136.8 (19.0) g/kg x 10(-2) (P=0.001) in the surface-cooled and core-cooled animals, respectively. Similar findings were obtained concerning serum-protein masses. The total tissue water content increased in most organs including brain in both study groups compared with a control. ICP and cerebral metabolic markers remained normal in both groups. CONCLUSION: Rapid lowering of body core temperature results in extravasation of water and proteins. The amount of extravated fluid and proteins is similar either cooling is a result of surface cooling or core cooling. Cold-induced fluid extravasation is associated with edema in most tissues including brain.

OBJECTIVE: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with fluid overload. We examined how a continuous infusion of hypertonic saline/dextran (HSD) influenced fluid shifts during CPB. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fourteen animals were randomized to a control-group (CT-group) or a hypertonic saline/dextran-group (HSD-group). Ringer's solution was used as CPB-prime and as maintenance fluid at a rate of 5 ml/kg/h. In the HSD group, 1 ml/kg/h of the maintenance fluid was substituted with HSD. After 60 min of normothermic CPB, hypothermic CPB was initiated and continued for 90 min. Fluid was added to the CPB-circuit as needed to maintain a constant level in the venous reservoir. Fluid balance, plasma volume, total tissue water (TTW), intracranial pressure (ICP) and fluid extravasation rates (FER) were measured/calculated. RESULTS: In the HSD-group the fluid need was reduced with 60% during CPB compared with the CT-group. FER was 0.38(0.06) ml/kg/min in the HSD-group and 0.74 (0.16) ml/kg/min in the CT-group. TTW was significantly lower in the heart and some of the visceral organs in the HSD-group. In this group ICP remained stable during CPB, whereas an increase was observed in the CT-group (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: A continuous infusion of HSD reduced the fluid extravasation rate and total fluid gain during CPB. TTW was reduced in the heart and some visceral organs. During CPB ICP remained normal in the HSD-group, whereas an increase was present in the CT-group. No adverse effects were observed.
