RESUMO
We studied the effect of O-((((4-hydroxy-3,5-di(1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-exo-2-yl) benzyl)oxy)ethyl)-O-(2-hydroxyethyl)-(1â4)-α-D-glucan (D-HES, 80 mg/kg, intravenously) and reference preparation ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (EMHP-S, 50 mg/kg, intravenously) on rat survival and neurological deficit in 24 h after transient global cerebral ischemia in Wistar rats. Intravenous administration of D-HES and EMHP-S significantly increased the number of survivors by 68 and 78%, respectively, in comparison with the control group. In groups treated with D-HES and EMHP-S, the number of animals with severe neurological deficit was significantly lower and the number of animals moderate or mild neurological deficit was significantly higher than in the control group.

The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in coagulation in meningioma patients treated with different injections using the method of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH). One hundred fifty hindbrain membrane meningioma patients were randomly divided into 5 groups, 30 per group. The first group were injected 40ml/time with Danhong after anesthesia induction; the second group were injected with 40ml~60ml/time Kangai and combined with interventional chemotherapy and embolization procedure; the third group of AHH were injected with polygeline 15ml/kg; the fourth group were injected with hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) sodium chloride in doses of 15ml/kg; the control group underwent basic treatment for lowering blood pressure and lowering blood fat. The changes of coagulation index were recorded before and after surgery and before and after the injection of different medications. Compared to the control group, for the first group of AHH, after being treated for 10 days and 30 days, the concentrations of bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), bone Gla protein (BGP) and pro-collagen carboxy-terminal propeptide (PICP) were higher than that of the control group, the levels of endotoxin (ET) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were decreased compared to the control group (p less than 0.05); for the second group of AHH, after being treated for 10 days, the index of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fg) were not significantly changed, but the related level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) significantly decreased (p less than 0.05). Comparing the coagulation function index after surgery in the third and fourth groups, there were no significant changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) level, heart rate (HR) value presented a low decrease, central venous pressure (CVP) level increased and the level of interleukin IL-6 showed a steady state after increasing. Analyzing the levels of interleukin IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) after surgery, it was seen that in the third group they increased and in the fourth group they decreased (p less than 0.05). Danhong injection improved the coagulation function and microcirculation of patients, Kangai injection and interventional chemotherapy and embolization restrained the appearance of tumor angiogenesis, AHH operation with polygeline injection and hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) sodium chloride kept blood flow in normal parameters.

BACKGROUND: Fluid resuscitation is widely practiced in intensive care units for the treatment of sepsis. A comparison of the evidence base of different fluids may inform therapeutic choice. METHODS: The risks of mortality and morbidity (the need for renal replacement therapies (RRT)) were assessed in patients with severe sepsis. A network meta-analysis compared trials for crystalloids, albumin and hydroxyethyl starch (HES). A literature search of human randomized clinical trials was conducted in databases, the bibliographies of other recent relevant systematic reviews and data reported at recent conferences. Mortality outcomes and RRT data with the longest follow up period were compared. A Bayesian network meta-analysis assessed the risk of mortality and a pair-wise metaanalysis assessed RRT using crystalloids as the reference treatment. RESULTS: 13 studies were identified. A fixed-effects meta-analysis of mortality data in the trials demonstrated an odds-ratio (OR) of 0.90 between crystalloids and albumin, 1.25 between crystalloids and HES and 1.40 between albumin and HES. The probability that albumin is associated with the highest survival was 96.4% followed by crystalloid at 3.6%, with a negligible probability for HES. Sub-group analyses demonstrated the robustness of this result to variations in fluid composition, study source and origin of septic shock. A random-effects pairwise comparison for the risk of RRT provided an OR of 1.52 favoring crystalloid over HES. CONCLUSION: Fluid therapy with albumin was associated with the highest survival benefit. The higher morbidity with HES may affect mortality and requires consideration by prescribers.

Tinnitus is one of the 20 most common reasons why patients aged 45-64 years consult a general practitioner in Germany. In the literature a correlation is claimed between disease patterns of the cervical spinal column and nuclei of cerebral nerves. In the case report presented here, a 30-year-old female patient with acute tinnitus after acute hearing loss was cured from her tinnitus after a single manual medical treatment at C0/C1, which supports the correlation claimed. If cervical spine diseases should therefore regularly be included in the differential diagnoses of acute tinnitus is a matter of further research.

Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier-201 transports oxygen and improves survival in swine with hemorrhagic shock, but has potential to be immune activating. Herein, we evaluated HBOC-201's immune effects in swine with more severe hemorrhagic shock due to soft tissue injury and 55% blood volume catheter withdrawal over 15 minutes followed by fluid resuscitation at 20 minutes with HBOC-201, Hextend, or no treatment (NON) before hospital arrival. Survival rates were similar with HBOC-201 and Hextend (p > 0.05), but were higher than in (p = 0.007). There were no significant group differences in blood cell count, percentages of leukocyte sub-populations and immunophenotype (CD4:CD8 ratio), adhesion markers expression (neutrophil CD11b; monocyte or neutrophil CD49d) and apoptosis. There was a trend to higher plasma IL-10 in HBOC-201 and groups vs. Hextend. We conclude that in swine with severe controlled HS and soft tissue injury, immune responses are similar with resuscitation with HBOC-201 and Hextend.

Two groups of tinnitus patients (n=93) were recruited, one of which was treated with standard infusion therapy and further acute medical intervention, while the other obtained an additional psychotherapeutic intervention. Questionnaires and interviews were taken at beginning of the treatment, and 9 days and 3 years after treatment. The accompanying psychotherapeutic intervention consisted primarily of client-centered counseling, guided relaxation techniques from clinical hypnosis, and some standard and tinnitus-related methods for a better coping with stress. After 9 days, both treatment groups showed significant improvement in several psychological characteristics. However, there was no evidence for the superiority of the combined treatment with psychological intervention. Psychotherapeutic treatment accompanying the acute medical treatment probably shows better effectiveness in an ambulant setting with both patients and medical healthcare professionals rating it as 'very helpful'. This pilot study has contributed initial results for the integrated treatment of the acute tinnitus and has helped in the development of further therapeutic strategies as well as an evidence based concept for further evaluation. This study received one of the two scientific first prizes of the "German Tinnitus League".

OBJECTIVE: In this study, acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) and hypervolemic hemodilution (HHD) were compared with no hemodilution with regards to the effectiveness in blood usage and coagulation parameters. METHODS: The study was performed from February to August 2001 at Hacettepe University Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. Thirty patients undergoing hip arthroplasty surgery were prospectively randomized into: ANH group [autologous blood 15 mL kg(-1) was withdrawn and replaced by 6% hydroxyethylstarch (HES)] or HHD group (HES was administered without removal of any autologous blood) or the control group (no hemodilution). In all groups, blood was given when hemoglobin concentration was <9 g dl(-1). RESULTS: Three groups were clinically similar regarding blood loss, mean arterial pressures and coagulation parameters. But allogeneic transfusion requirements were significantly less in hemodilution groups (20% in ANH, 40% in HHD) compared to the control group (100% of patients). CONCLUSION: We conclude that hemodilution (both ANH and HHD) decreases the demand for homologous blood without adversely affecting hemodynamics or coagulation parameters and HHD seems to be a simple and valuable alternative to ANH in orthopedic patient undergoing hip replacement.

The use of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) after acute one-sided deafness is a treatment option if conventional methods fail. Five cases have been reported in which an improvement in hearing after HBOT was achieved following unsuccessful conventional therapy. In view of this, and after a careful study of the literature, we suggest that timely treatment with HBOT should be used in every case of unilateral idiopathic deafness.

BACKGROUND: In this study, the hypothesis was tested that resuscitation with hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) affects the oxygenation of the microcirculation differently between and within organs. To this end, we tested the influence of the volume of an HBOC on the microcirculatory oxygenation of the heart and the gut serosa and mucosa in a porcine model of hemorrhage. METHODS: In anesthetized open-chested pigs (n = 24), a controlled hemorrhage (30 mL/kg over 1 hour) was followed by resuscitation with 10, 20, or 30 mL/kg diaspirin-crosslinked hemoglobin (DCLHb) or isovolemic resuscitation with 30 mL/kg of a 6% hydroxyethyl starch solution (HAES). Measurements included systemic and regional hemodynamic and oxygenation parameters. Microvascular oxygen pressures (microPO2) of the epicardium and the serosa and mucosa of the ileum were measured simultaneously by the palladium-porphyrin phosphorescence technique. Measurements were obtained up to 120 minutes after resuscitation. RESULTS: After hemorrhage, a low volume of DCLHb restored both cardiac and intestinal microPO2. Resuscitation of gut microPO2 with a low volume of DCLHb was as effective as isovolemic resuscitation with HAES. Higher volumes of DCLHb did not restore cardiac microPO2, as did isovolemic resuscitation with HAES, but increased gut microPO2 to hyperoxic values, dose-dependently. Effects were similar for the serosal and mucosal microPo2. In contrast to a sustained hypertensive effect after resuscitation with DCLHb, effects of DCLHb on regional oxygenation and hemodynamics were transient. CONCLUSION: This study showed that a low volume of DCLHb was effective in resuscitation of the microcirculatory oxygenation of the heart and gut back to control levels. Increasing the volume of DCLHb did not cause an additional increase in heart microPO2, but caused hyperoxic microvascular values in the gut to be attained. It is concluded that microcirculatory monitoring in this way elucidates the regional behavior of oxygen transport to the tissue by HBOCs, whereas systemic variables were ineffective in describing their response.

The hemodynamic efficiency of hydroxyethyl tarch 130/0.4 "Voluven" (HET) was investigated within a method of acute normovolemic hemodilution in 11 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) during the implementation of surgical revascularization of the myocardium under the conditions of extracorporeal artificial blood circulation. It was shown, that in case of invasive monitoring of central hemodynamic and of the oxygen-transport function of the blood circulation system, an exfusion of 13.28 +/- 1.53 ml/kg can be regarded as a permissible blood-saving procedure in IHD patients during revascularization of the myocardium. The application of HET 130/0.4 "Voluven" provides for an adequate correction of shifts in the blood circulation system and in its oxygen function--such shifts occur in implementing the acute normovolemic hemodilution in IHD patients.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of escalating doses of hemoglobin raffimer (Hemolink) with intraoperative autologous blood donation for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled, single-blind phase II dose escalation trial. SETTING: Multi-institutional university setting. PARTICIPANTS: Adult patients (n = 60) undergoing elective CABG surgery. INTERVENTIONS: After induction of anesthesia, autologous whole blood was collected to achieve a hemoglobin of 7 g/dL on cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients were randomized to receive either hemoglobin raffimer (treatment) or 6% hetastarch (control) in sequential escalating dose blocks of 250 mL, 500 mL, or 750 mL. After return of autologous blood, allogeneic red blood cells were transfused according to predetermined hemoglobin triggers. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Safety parameters (vital signs, hematology, blood chemistry, coagulation, and adverse events) were monitored from randomization through week 4 postdischarge. Serious adverse events were distributed evenly between the 2 groups of patients. Elevated blood pressure was more frequent in the treatment group (16/28 mmHg v 9/32 mmHg, p = 0.036). In the group of 40 patients in the 750-mL dose block, 8 of the 18 treatment patients and 4 of the 22 control patients avoided allogeneic red blood cell transfusion (p = 0.093). Median volume of allogeneic red blood cells transfused was lower in treated subjects compared with controls (p = 0.042). CONCLUSION: Hemoglobin raffimer is well tolerated and may be effective in reducing transfusion for patients undergoing CABG surgery. Although perioperative hypertension was more frequent in the treated patients, blood pressure management prevented serious adverse sequelae. Definitive evaluation of efficacy in a larger phase III trial is warranted.

The optimal type and amount of fluid for resuscitation of injured patients in hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock remains controversial. Use of deferoxamine, an iron chelator and oxygen-free radical scavenger, and hespan (hydroxyethyl starch), a colloid plasma expander, was evaluated in a rat hemorrhagic shock model. Eighty Sprague-Dawley male rats were utilized in four experiments. In these rats, bi-femoral cutdowns were performed for blood withdrawal, resuscitation, blood sampling, and continuous blood pressure monitoring. All rats, except control (with bilateral cutdown only), were bled and maintained at 40 mmHg for 90 min. The shed blood was returned and animals were resuscitated. One hour later, 2 mg/kg lidocaine was injected and blood samples were taken at 10, 15, 30, and 60 min for evaluation of lidocaine derivative monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) by fluorescent polarization immunoassay. In experiment 1 (n = 31), resuscitation with different volumes of Ringer's lactate (7.5 mL, 15.0 mL, and 30.0 mL/kg) was compared and 7.5 mL/kg LR was most beneficial. In experiment 2 (n = 22), resuscitation with three doses of Hespan (3.75 mL, 7.5 mL, and 15 mL/kg) was compared. A dose of 15 mL/kg significantly improved the liver function. In experiment 3 (n = 15), resuscitations with two doses of deferoxamine (30 mg and 100 mg/kg) were compared. A dose of 100 mg/kg significantly improved the liver function. In experiment 4 (n = 12), a combination of deferoxamine (100 mg/kg) and Hespan (3.75 and 7.5 mL) was used. Deferoxamine (100 mg/kg) complexed with 7.5 mL of Hespan was found the most beneficial resuscitation. This conjugate could be a choice as a resuscitative adjuvant in hypovolemic shock without any side effects.

This study was undertaken to determine the effects of various resuscitation regimens on lung perfusion following resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock. Fourty male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were used. The rats were divided randomly into four groups (n = 10 for each) and were sedated with intramuscular ketamine (100 mg/kg). We measured blood pressure, rectal temperature and lung perfusion using radioscintigraphy with a technetium colloid indicator. The systolic blood pressure was decreased 75% by removing blood via v. jugularis in the first three groups and group 4 was accepted as the control group, and blood volume was not diminished. Then the first three groups were resuscitated with autologous blood containing 125 units heparine/ml in group 1, saline in group 2, and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 6% in group 3. After the correction of hypovolemia, all animals were injected 100 Bg (0.1 cc) technetium 99 m macroaggregated albumin (99mTc MAA) via penil vein. After injection of 99mTc MAA, 3 minutes fixed images were detected by a y camera in posterior position at 15 minutes and 5 hours. 99mTc MAA "wash out" rate in lung was determined quantitatively at 5 hours. Compared to a control group, lung perfusion was decreased significantly in groups resuscitated with saline, and HES 6% while perfusion was restored with autologous blood. We conclude that heparinized autologous blood saved lung capillary circulation in hemorrhagic shock in rats.

The effects of hydroxypropyl potato starches (HPS) of three different degrees of substitution (DS) on concentration of plasma cholesterol, apparent digestibility of protein, fecal excretion of bile acids, fecal output and cecal pool of organic acids such as acetic, propionic, butyric, lactic and succinic acid were studied in rats in Experiment 1. In Experiment 2, the effects of hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate (HDP) of three different degrees of cross-linking (DC) on the same indexes were studied. Gelatinized potato starch that was not modified chemically (PS) was used as a control. Rats were fed a fiber-free, purified diet containing either HPS, HDP or PS (100 g/kg) for 21 d. In each experiment, fecal output was greater and fecal excretion of bile acids was higher in rats fed the HPS diets with higher DS and the HDP diets compared with control rats fed the PS diet. Apparent protein digestibility in rats fed the HPS diets with higher DS and the HDP diets with higher DC was lower than that in control rats fed the PS diet. The pool size of cecal organic acids was not affected by diet. In Experiment 1, apparent protein digestibility, fecal output and fecal bile acids excretion were significantly correlated with DS (r = -0.994, P = 0.0059; r = 0.976, P = 0.0236; and r = 0.899, P = 0.0077, respectively). The plasma cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in rats fed the HPS diets than in control rats fed the PS diet. The HPS diets resulted in higher proportions of propionic acid, lactic acid and succinic acid and a lower proportion of n-butyric acid than the PS diet. In Experiment 2, apparent protein digestibility was significantly correlated with DSP (r = 0.996, P = 0.0028), which was inversely related to DC. The HDP diets did not affect the plasma cholesterol concentration. The HDP diets resulted in higher proportions of acetic acid, lactic acid and succinic acid and a lower proportion of n-butyric acid than the PS diet. These results suggest that the physiological effects of chemically modified starches are affected by the type of modification.

To avoid any blood or protein transfusions, we employed 6% hydroxyethyl starch in 0.9% saline (saline HES) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for intracardiac repair in 24 consecutive patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TF). The postoperative course has been satisfactory (central venous pressure 9.5 +/- 1.2 cmH2O, duration of intubation after surgery 4.4 +/- 1.5 hours), and all patients but one did not require transfusion therapy during their hospital stay. We conclude that intracardiac repair without transfusions is feasible in almost all patients with TF, when substituting saline HES for blood or proteins.

Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) may help to reduce demand for homologous blood but requires extra time and apparatus. A more simple procedure is acute hypervolemic hemodilution (HHD), where hydroxyethylstarch is administered preoperatively without removal of blood. In a prospectively randomized study we compared ANH (preoperatively 15 mL/kg autologous blood removal and replacement with 15 mL/kg of hydroxyethylstarch with HHD (15 mL/kg of hydroxyethylstarch administered preoperatively) in 49 patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. To avoid excessive intravascular volume, we used the vasodilating effect of isoflurane. No significant differences were found between groups (ANH, n = 23; HHD, n = 26) for intraoperative blood loss (ANH versus HHD, median [minimum-maximum]); 545 [295-785] mL versus 520 [315-825] mL) and postoperative blood loss (730 [525-945] mL versus 780 [495-895] mL), postoperative hemoglobin, hemotocrit, platelet count or coagulation variables, and transfusion requirements (ANH 43% versus HHD 35% of patients received homologous blood) (P > 0.05). Heart rate did not change significantly in either group. In the ANH group mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) decreased after hemodilution (P < 0.05) while in the HHD group MAP did not change over time. Mean time required to perform ANH was 58 (46-62) min versus HHD 16 (12-19) min (P < 0.05). Costs for ANH were $63.60 USD and for HHD $32.75 USD (labor costs not included). In orthopedic patients undergoing hip replacement with a predicted blood loss of about 1000 mL, HHD seems to be a simple as well as time- and cost-saving alternative for ANH.

OBJECTIVE: The practicability and efficiency of a standardized, preoperative isovolemic hemodilution was investigated during major gynecological operations (Wertheim's operation, etc.). DESIGN: Prospective clinical trial with a historical control group. SETTING: Operating room of a gynecological university hospital. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS: Under general anesthesia hemodilution to a hemoglobin concentration of 9 g/dl was performed in 48 patients (mean age: 53 years). Shed blood volume amounted to 900 +/- 210 ml. Transfusion of autologous or homologous blood was provided when Hb concentration decreased beyond 7 g/dl intraoperatively. RESULTS: Compared to a control group of 57 patients without hemodilution the total number of PRBC units transfused was significantly reduced. Moreover, in 65% of all patients the transfusion of homologous blood could completely be avoided perioperatively (control group: 21% of patients). Adverse effects did not occur. CONCLUSIONS: The data reflect that acute isovolemic hemodilution before major gynecological operations represents a safe, easy to handle and effective procedure to avoid transfusion of homologous blood up to a total blood loss of 1,300-1,400 ml.

"Small volume resuscitation" (SVR) is a promising concept for the treatment of shock and trauma patients. SVR utilizes the fast infusion of a small volume of hypertonic saline to mobilize intraendothelial and parenchymal water to expand and restitute intravascular volume. Therefore it seems warranted to also consider SVR for the treatment of disturbances of the cerebral circulation and of increased intracranial pressure (ICP). The current study uses a rabbit model of global cerebral ischemia combined with mild hemorrhage to test SVR. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) serve as a short-term outcome parameter. The data demonstrate a beneficial effect treatment with hypertonic/hyperoncotic saline/hydroxyethylstarch as compared to volume replacement with starch or blood.

In an attempt to avoid the use of homologous blood transfusion, we used pentastarch 6% or 10% in a consecutive series of open heart surgery. After induction of anesthesia, whole blood 500 cc was withdrawn from the patient via an artery line, and 6% or 10% pentastarch 500 cc was infused simultaneously via a central venous line. A further 500 cc pentastarch was placed in the heart-lung machine as a priming solution. After the operation the autologous blood was transfused. Pentastarch 500cc was also infused in the intensive care unit as a plasma expander. Significant improvements in cardiac output with decrease in hematocrit, plasma viscosity, systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance were noted after pentastarch infusion, due to its hemodiluting effects. Patients treated with pentastarch did not require transfusion of homologous blood, and they also displayed no abnormal coagulopathy, or increased amounts of postoperative bleeding during hospitalization. All patients were discharged without additional hospital stay. With the aid of pentastarch, acute normovolemic hemodilution can be performed safely in cardiac surgery with the advantages of saving stored blood, reducing the risks associated with homologous blood transfusion and profiting from hemodilution. It is therefore concluded that cardiac surgery can be performed safely with 6% or 10% pentastarch without any homologous blood transfusion.
