RESUMO
Adequate resuscitation of patients from shock states depends on restoration of oxygen delivery (DO2) to tissues. Direct measurement of systemic DO2 during shock states requires invasive techniques such as pulmonary artery catheterization. These experiments were performed to examine the ability of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), to measure regional tissue oxygenation in a large-animal model of hemorrhagic shock, and to compare these measures to global measures of oxygen delivery. Splenectomized female pigs (n = 11) were anesthetized, instrumented, and monitored. NIRS probes were placed on the leg, in the stomach via nasogastric tube, and on the liver during laparotomy. Hemorrhagic shock was induced by phlebotomy of 28% of blood volume. After 1 hour, resuscitation was with shed blood and crystalloid until cardiac output plateaued. Measurements of physiologic parameters, blood gases, lactate, intramucosal pH, and NIRS values for regional tissue hemoglobin oxygen saturation (StO2), and cytochrome a,a3 redox state were recorded at intervals throughout the experiment. Tissue oxygenation as measured by oxyhemoglobin saturation and cytochrome a,a3 redox (NIRS) correlated with measures of systemic DO2 throughout the experiment. The liver probe demonstrated blunted changes in tissue oxygenation suggesting relatively protected circulation. Intramucosal pH did not correlate well with DO2. Regional tissue oxygenation as measured by NIRS shows excellent correlation with global oxygen delivery. NIRS may allow estimation of systemic oxygen delivery using rapid non-invasive techniques.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether early supply independent mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction occurs in trauma patients who develop multiple organ failure (MOF). DESIGN: Prospective focused observational trial. METHODS: High-risk patients were aggressively resuscitated while being continuously monitored by near infrared spectroscopy. Near infrared spectroscopy monitoring strips allow for a direct comparison of changes in tissue oxyhemoglobin levels (HbO2), which reflect local oxygen supply, and cytochrome a,a3 redox, which reflects mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Under normal conditions, HbO2 and a,a3 redox are tightly coupled. On the other hand, decoupled HbO2 and a,a3 redox is a sign of mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction. Outcomes included MOF, oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption, lactate, and the presence of decoupled HbO2 and a,a3 redox. RESULTS: Twenty-four high-risk patients were studied; nine (38%) developed MOF. At 12 hours of resuscitation, MOF and non-MOF patients did not have statistically different oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption, but lactate levels were significantly higher in MOF patients. Additionally, HBO2 and a,a3 redox were decoupled in eight (89%) MOF patients compared with two (13%) non-MOF patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Severely injured trauma patients who develop MOF preferentially display evidence of mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction early in the course of their resuscitation despite early goal-oriented maximization of oxygen delivery.
