RESUMO
PURPOSE: Patients with high-grade renal trauma (HGRT) undergoing nephrectomy may be at higher risk for mortality compared to those treated conservatively. However, no study has controlled for degree of hemorrhage as a measure of shock. We hypothesized that after controlling for blood transfusions and other factors, nephrectomy after HGRT would be associated with increased mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified adult patients with HGRT (American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grade III-V) in TQIP (2013-2017). Propensity scoring was used to adjust for the probability of nephrectomy. Conditional logistic regression was used to analyze the association between nephrectomy and mortality and AKI. We adjusted for patient characteristics, injury specifics, and physiological factors including blood transfusions. RESULTS: There were 12,780 patients with HGRT, and 1,014 (7.9%) underwent nephrectomy. Mortality was 10.6% and 4.2% in the nephrectomy and nonnephrectomy groups, respectively (p <0.001). In nephrectomy patients, 8.6% experienced AKI vs 2.4% of nonnephrectomy patients (p <0.001). In the adjusted analysis, there was no association between nephrectomy and mortality (OR=0.367, 95% CI 0.09-1.497, p=0.162). There was also no association between nephrectomy and AKI. Increasing age, nonCaucasian race, increasing Injury Severity Score, decreasing Glasgow Coma Score and blood transfusions were associated with higher mortality. For AKI, independent predictors included increasing age, male sex, and blood transfusions. CONCLUSIONS: After adjusting for volume of blood transfused in the first 24 hours, nephrectomy after HGRT was not associated with increased mortality or AKI. As a clinical principle, trauma nephrectomy should be avoided when possible.

PURPOSE: The aim was to examine the predictive value of the hypovolemic shock classification currently accepted by the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program over the previous one, which used only vital signs (VS) for patient allocation. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality; as secondary outcome, heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and base deficit (BD) data were compared and investigated in terms of mortality prediction. METHODS: Retrospective analysis at a level I trauma center between 2014 and 2019. Adult patients treated by trauma teams were allocated into severity classes (I-IV) based on the criteria of the current and previous ATLS classifications, respectively. The prognostic values for the classifications were determined with Fisher's exact test and χ2 test for independence, and compared with the 2-proportion Z test. The individual variables were analyzed with receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. RESULTS: A total of 156 patients met the inclusion criteria. Mortality was effectively predicted by both classifications, and there was no statistically significant difference between the predictive performances. According to ROC analyses, GCS, BD and SBP had significant prognostic values while HR change was ineffective in this regard. CONCLUSIONS: The currently used ATLS shock classification does not appear to be superior to the VS-based previous classification. GCS, BD and SBP are useful parameters to predict the prognosis. Changes in HR do not reflect the clinical course accurately; thus, further studies will be needed to determine the value of this parameter in trauma-associated hypovolemic-hemorrhagic shock conditions.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence, CT appearance, and implication for prognosis of the hollow adrenal gland sign (HAGS). METHODS: A total of 194 patients with septic shock and 24 patients with hemorrhagic shock (as control group) were retrospectively included in this study and the patients with septic shock were further divided into four subgroups (digestive tract diseases, DTD, n = 49; biliary and pancreatic diseases, BPD, n = 41; postsurgical infection, PI, n = 64; and other diseases, OD, n = 40). All patients underwent a dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT within 1 week after diagnosis. CT findings and clinical records were reviewed. If in the arterial phase the central zone of adrenal gland showed temporally much lower attenuation than the peripheral zone, it was defined as HAGS positive. The incidence of the HAGS in patients with septic shock and hemorrhagic shock, the demographic features, and mortality between HAGS-positive and HAGS-negative patients in each group were respectively compared. RESULTS: The incidence of the HAGS in the septic shock group was nearly 30%, while it was 0 in the hemorrhagic shock group. There was no significant difference in age or gender between HAGS-positive and HAGS-negative patients in all groups, while the mortality of HAGS-positive patients was significantly higher than that of HAGS-negative patients in each group (p < 0.05). The concordance correlation coefficient value showed excellent reproducibility of the two observers (κ = 0.977). CONCLUSION: The HAGS is specific and common on dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT in patients with septic shock and predicts a poor prognosis. KEY POINTS: ⢠The hollow adrenal gland sign (HAGS) newly described in this study is a special enhancing pattern of adrenal gland on dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT in patients with septic shock. ⢠The HAGS is characterized by the much lower-attenuated central zone of the adrenal gland in arterial phase and it showed excellent reproducibility between different observers. ⢠The HAGS is specific and common on dual-phase contrast-enhanced CT in patients with septic shock and predicts a poor prognosis.

Massive haemorrhage is common and often associated with high morbidity and mortality. We perform a systematic review of the literature, with extraction of the recommendations from the existing evidences because of the need for its improvement and the management standardization. From the results we found, we wrote a multidisciplinary consensus document. We begin with the agreement in the definitions of massive haemorrhage and massive transfusion, and we do structured recommendations on their general management (clinical assessment of bleeding, hypothermia management, fluid therapy, hypotensive resuscitation and damage control surgery), blood volume monitoring, blood products transfusion (red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, platelets and their best transfusion ratio), and administration of hemostatic components (prothrombin complex, fibrinogen, factor VIIa, antifibrinolytic agents).

Objective: Among critically injured patients of various blood groups, we sought to compare survival and complication rates between COVID-19-positive and COVID-19-negative cohorts. Background: SARS-CoV-2 infections have been shown to cause endothelial injury and dysfunctional coagulation. We hypothesized that, among patients with trauma in hemorrhagic shock, COVID-19-positive status would be associated with increased mortality and inpatient complications. As a secondary hypothesis, we suspected group O patients with COVID-19 would experience fewer complications than non-group O patients with COVID-19. Methods: We evaluated all trauma patients admitted 4/2020-7/2020. Patients 16 years or older were included if they presented in hemorrhagic shock and received emergency release blood products. Patients were dichotomized by COVID-19 testing and then divided by blood groups. Results: 3281 patients with trauma were evaluated, and 417 met criteria for analysis. Seven percent (29) of patients were COVID-19 positive; 388 were COVID-19 negative. COVID-19-positive patients experienced higher complication rates than the COVID-19-negative cohort, including acute kidney injury, pneumonia, sepsis, venous thromboembolism, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Univariate analysis by blood groups demonstrated that survival for COVID-19-positive group O patients was similar to that of COVID-19-negative patients (79 vs 78%). However, COVID-19-positive non-group O patients had a significantly lower survival (38%). Controlling for age, sex and Injury Severity Score, COVID-19-positive patients had a greater than 70% decreased odds of survival (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.81; p=0.019). Conclusions: COVID-19 status is associated with increased major complications and 70% decreased odds of survival in this group of patients with trauma. However, among patients with COVID-19, blood group O was associated with twofold increased survival over other blood groups. This survival rate was similar to that of patients without COVID-19.
RESUMO
Objectives: Prehospital transfusion can be life-saving when transport is delayed but conventional plasma, red cells, and whole blood are often unavailable out of hospital. Shelf-stable products are needed as a temporary bridge to in-hospital transfusion. Bioplasma FDP (freeze-dried plasma) and Hemopure (hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier; HBOC) are products with potential for prehospital use. In vivo use of these products together has not been reported. This study assessed the safety of intravenous administration of HBOC+FDP, relative to normal saline (NS), in rhesus macaques (RM). Methods: After 30% blood volume removal and 30 minutes in shock, animals were resuscitated with either NS or two units (RM size adjusted) each of HBOC+FDP during 60 minutes. Sequential blood samples were collected. After neurological assessment, animals were killed at 24 hours and tissues collected for histopathology. Results: Due to a shortage of RM during the COVID-19 pandemic, the study was stopped after nine animals (HBOC+FDP, seven; NS, two). All animals displayed physiologic and tissue changes consistent with hemorrhagic shock and recovered normally. There was no pattern of cardiovascular, blood gas, metabolic, coagulation, histologic, or neurological changes suggestive of risk associated with HBOC+FDP. Conclusion: There was no evidence of harm associated with the combined use of Hemopure and Bioplasma FDP. No differences were noted between groups in safety-related cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal or other organ or metabolic parameters. Hemostasis and thrombosis-related parameters were consistent with expected responses to hemorrhagic shock and did not differ between groups. All animals survived normally with intact neurological function. Level of evidence: Not applicable.
RESUMO
Background: The reporting of adverse events (AEs) is required and well defined in the execution of clinical trials, but is poorly characterized particularly in prehospital trials focusing on traumatic injury. In the setting of prehospital traumatic injury trials, no literature currently exists analyzing the clinical implications of AEs and their associations with mortality and morbidity. We sought to analyze AEs from three prehospital hemorrhagic shock trials and characterize their time course, incidence, severity, associated clinical outcomes, and relatedness. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of three prehospital randomized clinical trials. We analyzed AEs at both the patient level as well as the individual AE level. We categorized patients who had no AEs, a single documented AE and those with multiple events (>1 AE). We characterized AE timing, severity, relatedness and attributable mortality outcomes. Results: We included 1490 patients from the three harmonized clinical trials, with 299 (20.1%) individual patients having at least a single AE documented with 529 AEs documented overall as a proportion of patients had multiple events. Over 44% of patients had a death-related misclassified AE. Patients with at least a single documented AE had a significantly higher 28-day mortality (log-rank χ2=81.27, p<0.001) compared with those without an AE documented. Patients with a single AE had a significant higher mortality than those with multiple AEs, potentially due to survival bias (log-rank χ2=11.80, p=0.006). When relatedness of each individual AE was characterized, over 97% of AEs were classified as 'definitely not related' or 'probably not related' to the intervention. Conclusions: AEs in hemorrhagic shock trials are common, occur early and are associated with mortality and survival bias. The potential for inaccurate reporting exists, and education and training remain essential for appropriate treatment arm comparison. The current results have important relevance to injury-related clinical trials. Trial registration numbers: NCT01818427, NCT02086500 and NCT03477006. Level of evidence: II.
RESUMO
Background: Blood transfusions have become a vital intervention in trauma care. There are limited data on the safety and effectiveness of submassive transfusion (SMT), that is defined as receiving less than 10 units packed red blood cells (PRBCs) in the first 24 hours. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and platelet transfusions in patients undergoing SMT. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort, reviewing the Trauma Quality Improvement Program database spanning 3 years (2016 to 2018). Adult patients aged 18 years and older who had received at least 1 unit of PRBC within 24 hours were included in the study. We used a multivariate regression model to analyze the cut-off units of combined resuscitation (CR) (which included PRBCs along with at least one unit of FFP and/or platelets) that leads to survival improvement. Patients were then stratified into two groups: those who received PRBC alone and those who received CR. Propensity score matching was performed in a 1:1 ratio. Results: The study included 85 234 patients. Based on the multivariate regression model, transfusion of more than 3 units of PRBC with at least 1 unit of FFP and/or platelets demonstrated improved mortality compared with PRBC alone. Among 66 319 patients requiring SMT and >3 units of PRBCs, 25 978 received PRBC alone, and 40 341 received CR. After propensity matching, 4215 patients were included in each group. Patients administered CR had a lower rate of complications (15% vs 26%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (3% vs 5%) and acute kidney injury (8% vs 11%). Rates of sepsis and venous thromboembolism were similar between the two groups. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that patients receiving 4 to 7 units of PRBC alone had significantly higher ORs for mortality than those receiving CR. Conclusion: Trauma patients requiring more than 3 units of PRBCs who received CR with FFP and platelets experienced improved survival and reduced complications. Level of evidence: Level III retrospective study.
RESUMO
Objectives: Some centers have recommended including concentrated fibrinogen replacement in massive transfusion protocols (MTPs). Given our center's policy of aggressive early balanced resuscitation (1:1:1), beginning prehospital, we hypothesized that our rates of hypofibrinogenemia may be lower than those previously reported. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients presenting to our trauma center November 2017 to April 2021 were reviewed. Patients were defined as hypofibrinogenemic (HYPOFIB) if admission fibrinogen <150 or rapid thrombelastography angle <60. Univariate and multivariable analyses assessed risk factors for HYPOFIB. Inverse probability of treatment weighting analyses assessed the relationship between cryoprecipitate administration and outcomes. Results: Of 29 782 patients, 6618 level 1 activations, and 1948 patients receiving emergency release blood, <1%, 2%, and 7% were HYPOFIB. HYPOFIB patients were younger, had higher head Abbreviated Injury Scale value, and had worse coagulopathy and shock. HYPOFIB had lower survival (48% vs 82%, p<0.001), shorter time to death (median 28 (7, 50) vs 36 (14, 140) hours, p=0.012), and were more likely to die from head injury (72% vs 51%, p<0.001). Risk factors for HYPOFIB included increased age (OR (95% CI) 0.98 (0.96 to 0.99), p=0.03), head injury severity (OR 1.24 (1.06 to 1.46), p=0.009), lower arrival pH (OR 0.01 (0.001 to 0.20), p=0.002), and elevated prehospital red blood cell to platelet ratio (OR 1.20 (1.02 to 1.41), p=0.03). Among HYPOFIB patients, there was no difference in survival for those that received early cryoprecipitate (within 2 hours; 40 vs 47%; p=0.630). On inverse probability of treatment weighted analysis, early cryoprecipitate did not benefit the full cohort (OR 0.52 (0.43 to 0.65), p<0.001), nor the HYPOFIB subgroup (0.28 (0.20 to 0.39), p<0.001). Conclusions: Low rates of hypofibrinogenemia were found in our center which treats hemorrhage with early, balanced resuscitation. Previously reported higher rates may be partially due to unbalanced resuscitation and/or delay in resuscitation initiation. Routine empiric inclusion of concentrated fibrinogen replacement in MTPs is not supported by the currently available data. Level of evidence: Level III.
RESUMO
Objectives: We analyzed resuscitation practices in Cameroonian patients with trauma as a first step toward developing a context-appropriate resuscitation protocol. We hypothesized that more patients would receive crystalloid-based (CB) resuscitation with a faster time to administration than blood product (BL) resuscitation. Methods: We included patients enrolled between 2017 and 2019 in the Cameroon Trauma Registry (CTR). Patients presenting with hemorrhagic shock (systolic blood pressure (SBP) <100 mm Hg and active bleeding) were categorized as receiving CB, BL, or no resuscitation (NR). We evaluated differences between cohorts with the Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables and Fisher's exact test for categorical variables. We compared time to treatment with the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results: Of 9635 patients, 403 (4%) presented with hemorrhagic shock. Of these, 278 (69%) patients received CB, 39 (10%) received BL, and 86 (21%) received NR. BL patients presented with greater injury severity (Highest Estimated Abbreviated Injury Scale (HEAIS) 4 BL vs 3 CB vs 1 NR, p<0.001), and lower median hemoglobin (8.0 g/dL BL, 11.4 g/dL CB, 10.6 g/dL NR, p<0.001). CB showed greater initial improvement in SBP (12 mm Hg CB vs 9 mm Hg BL vs 0 NR mm Hg, p=0.04) compared with BL or no resuscitation, respectively. Median time to treatment was lower for CB than BL (12 vs 131 min, p<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression adjusted for injury severity found no association between resuscitation type and mortality (CB adjusted OR (aOR) 1.28, p=0.82; BL aOR 1.05, p=0.97). Conclusions: CB was associated with faster treatment, greater SBP elevation, and similar survival compared with BL in Cameroonian patients with trauma with hemorrhagic shock. In blood-constrained settings, treatment delays associated with blood product transfusion may offset the physiologic benefits of an early BL strategy. CB prior to definitive hemorrhage control in this resource-limited setting may be a necessary strategy to optimize perfusion pressure. Level of evidence and study type: III, retrospective study.
RESUMO
Objectives: In fluoroscopy-free settings, alternative safe and quick methods for placing resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the inferior vena cava (REBOVC) are needed. Ultrasound is being increasingly used to guide the placement of REBOA in the absence of fluoroscopy. Our hypothesis was that ultrasound could be used to adequately visualize the suprahepatic vena cava and guide REBOVC positioning, without significant time-delay, when compared with fluoroscopic guidance, and compared with the corresponding REBOA placement. Methods: Nine anesthetized pigs were used to compare ultrasound-guided placement of supraceliac REBOA and suprahepatic REBOVC with corresponding fluoroscopic guidance, in terms of correct placement and speed. Accuracy was controlled by fluoroscopy. Four intervention groups: (1) fluoroscopy REBOA, (2) fluoroscopy REBOVC, (3) ultrasound REBOA and (4) ultrasound REBOVC. The aim was to carry out the four interventions in all animals. Randomization was performed to either fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance being used first. The time required to position the balloons in the supraceliac aorta or in the suprahepatic inferior vena cava was recorded and compared between the four intervention groups. Results: Ultrasound-guided REBOA and REBOVC placement was completed in eight animals, respectively. All eight had correctly positioned REBOA and REBOVC on fluoroscopic verification. Fluoroscopy-guided REBOA placement was slightly faster (median 14 s, IQR 13-17 s) than ultrasound-guided REBOA (median 22 s, IQR 21-25 s, p=0.024). The corresponding comparisons of the REBOVC groups were not statistically significant, with fluoroscopy-guided REBOVC taking 19 s, median (IQR 11-22 s) and ultrasound-guided REBOVC taking 28 s, median (IQR 20-34 s, p=0.19). Conclusion: Ultrasound adequately and quickly guide the placement of supraceliac REBOA and suprahepatic REBOVC in a porcine laboratory model, however, safety issues must be considered before use in trauma patients. Level of evidence: Prospective, experimental, animal study. Basic science study.
RESUMO
Background: Although hemorrhage remains the leading cause of survivable death in casualties, modern conflicts are becoming more austere limiting available resources to include resuscitation products. With limited resources also comes prolonged evacuation time, leaving suboptimal prehospital field care conditions. When blood products are limited or unavailable, crystalloid becomes the resuscitation fluid of choice. However, there is concern of continuous crystalloid infusion during a prolonged period to achieve hemodynamic stability for a patient. This study evaluates the effect of hemodilution from a 6-hour prehospital hypotensive phase on coagulation in a porcine model of severe hemorrhagic shock. Methods: Adult male swine (n=5/group) were randomized into three experimental groups. Non-shock (NS)/normotensive did not undergo injury and were controls. NS/permissive hypotensive (PH) was bled to the PH target of systolic blood pressure (SBP) 85±5 mm Hg for 6 hours of prolonged field care (PFC) with SBP maintained via crystalloid, then recovered. Experimental group underwent controlled hemorrhage to mean arterial pressure 30 mm Hg until decompensation (Decomp/PH), followed by PH resuscitation with crystalloid for 6 hours. Hemorrhaged animals were then resuscitated with whole blood and recovered. Blood samples were collected at certain time points for analysis of complete blood counts, coagulation function, and inflammation. Results: Throughout the 6-hour PFC, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and platelets showed significant decreases over time in the Decomp/PH group, indicating hemodilution, compared with the other groups. However, this was corrected with whole blood resuscitation. Despite the appearance of hemodilution, coagulation and perfusion parameters were not severely compromised. Conclusions: Although significant hemodilution occurred, there was minimal impact on coagulation and endothelial function. This suggests that it is possible to maintain the SBP target to preserve perfusion of vital organs at a hemodilution threshold in resource-constrained environments. Future studies should address therapeutics that can mitigate potential hemodilutional effects such as lack of fibrinogen or platelets. Level of evidence: Not applicable-Basic Animal Research.
RESUMO
Damage control surgery is based on temporal control of the injury, physiologic recovery and posterior deferred definitive management. This strategy began in the 1980s and became a formal concept in 1993. It has proven to be a strategy that reduces mortality in severely injured trauma patients. Nevertheless, the concept of damage control in non-traumatic abdominal pathology remains controversial. This article aims to gather historical experiences in damage control surgery performed in non-traumatic abdominal emergency pathology patients and present a novel management algorithm. This strategy could be a surgical option to treat hemodynamically unstable patients in catastrophic scenarios such as hemorrhagic and septic shock caused by peritonitis, pancreatitis, acute mesenteric ischemia, among others. Therefore, damage control surgery is light amid better short- and long-term results.
La cirugía de control de daños es una estrategia de control temporal del daño tisular y recuperación fisiológica para un manejo definitivo diferido. Esta estrategia tiene antecedentes en el mundo del trauma desde la década de 1980, hasta su formalización conceptual en 1993. Hasta el momento ha demostrado ser una estrategia factible y que reduce la mortalidad en los pacientes críticamente enfermos. Sin embargo, el manejo de patologías abdominales no traumáticas aun es tema de discusión sobre su factibilidad y seguridad. El presente articulo tiene como objetivo realizar un relato histórico y experiencias en la aplicación de la cirugía de control de daños en emergencias quirúrgicas abdominales no asociadas a trauma y presentar un algoritmo de manejo usando los principios de la cirugía de control de daños. La aplicabilidad del control de daños en no trauma se enfrenta a los contextos de shock hemorrágico y séptico para patologías como peritonitis generalizada, peritonitis postquirúrgica, pancreatitis, isquemia mesentérica aguda, entre otras. Se ha demostrado que el uso de control de daños representa una luz para el cirujano ante la tormenta de la incertidumbre de la descompensación metabólica en el manejo de emergencias abdominales, para crear un puente para su manejo definitivo y permitir anastomosis como estrategia de reconstrucción intestinal y mejorar los resultados a corto y largo plazo.

Abdome/cirurgia , HumanosRESUMO
Refractory vascular failure due to the inability of vascular smooth muscle to respond to vasoconstrictors such as phenylephrine is a final common pathway for severe circulatory shock of any cause, including trauma/hemorrhagic shock. Increased inflammation, Toll-like receptor 4 activation, and decreased response of the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors which control vascular tone have been reported in trauma/hemorrhagic shock. HYPOTHESIS: In trauma/hemorrhagic shock, Toll-like receptor 4 activation contributes to vascular failure via decreased bioavailability of adrenergic receptors. DESIGN AND MEASUREMENTS: Trauma/hemorrhagic shock was induced in Wistar rats (laparotomy combined with mean arterial pressure at 40 mm Hg for 90 min followed by 2 hr resuscitation with Lactated Ringers solution). To inhibit Toll-like receptor 4, resatorvid (TAK-242) and resveratrol were used, and plasma was collected. Smooth muscle cells were incubated with lipopolysaccharide (10 ng/mL) or plasma. Inflammatory cytokines were screened using dot-blot. Toll-like receptor 4 and nuclear factor κB activation and cellular localization of the alpha-1 adrenergic receptor were measured by immunofluorescence imaging and Western blot analysis. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9 was used to knock out Toll-like receptor 4, and calcium influx following stimulation with phenylephrine was recorded. MAIN RESULTS: Trauma/hemorrhagic shock caused a decreased response to phenylephrine, whereas Toll-like receptor 4 inhibition improved blood pressure. Trauma/hemorrhagic shock plasma activated the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor κB pathway in smooth muscle cells. Double labeling of Toll-like receptor 4 and the alpha-1 adrenergic receptor showed that these receptors are colocalized on the cell membrane. Activation of Toll-like receptor 4 caused cointernalization of both receptors. Calcium influx was impaired in cells incubated with trauma/hemorrhagic shock plasma but restored when Toll-like receptor 4 was knocked out or inhibited. CONCLUSIONS: Activation of the Toll-like receptor 4 desensitizes vascular smooth muscle cells to vasopressors in experimental trauma/hemorrhagic shock by reducing the levels of membrane alpha-1 adrenergic receptor.
RESUMO
We investigated the use of ulinastatin in association with the suppression of polymorphonuclear leukocyte elastase (PMNE), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), and its effects on the prognosis of patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Nineteen patients who visited the emergency department for traumatic hemorrhagic shock were enrolled. Eleven patients were randomly selected to receive a total of 300,000 IU of ulinastatin. Measurements of serum PMNE, TNF-alpha and IL-6 were taken before ulinastatin treatment at 24 hr, two days, three days, and seven days after admission. We compared the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome scores, Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome scores and Acute Physiology, age, Chronic Health Evaluation III scores of the control and ulinastatin groups. There were no significant differences in baseline values, laboratory data, treatment or mortality between the two groups. The serum PMNE levels in the ulinastatin group were lower than in the control group on the second hospitalized day. Serum TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels in the ulinastatin group decreased 24 hr after admission but had no significance. It is suggested that ulinastatin treatment could decrease the serum PMNE levels in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock at 48 hr after treatment.

BACKGROUND: Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) occurs due to increased abdominal cavity pressure, causes multiple organ damage, and leads to fatal consequences. Increased intraperitoneal pressure due to different reasons generally does not result in serious damage, due to the compliance of the abdominal wall. However, when the pressure exceeds the limit, ACS develops, thereby causing fatal damage to the organs. CASE: A patient presented with rapid stomach swelling due to excessive food intake and was known to have bulimia nervosa, which had now resulted in ACS. Mental changes, abdominal distension, color change in the legs, acute kidney injury, and acidosis were seen. The patient expired due to ischemia-reperfusion injury and disseminated intravascular coagulation, which occurred after surgical decompression. CONCLUSIONS: Under suspected ACS conditions, we should be aware of various symptoms that can occur. Early attempts for decompression are helpful, and it is important to be prepared for reperfusion injury prior to surgical decompression attempts.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the resuscitation effect of sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution on traumatic hemorrhagic shock in patients.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 70 patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock who were admitted to Yiwu Central Hospital between February 2021 and February 2022. The patients were randomly assigned to a control group ( n = 35) and an observation group ( n = 35) using the random number table method. Both groups received routine treatment. The control group was given adequate resuscitation by intravenous injection of a compound sodium chloride injection, while the observation group received restricted resuscitation with sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution. Related clinical indicators, coagulation function, lactate levels, hemorheological indicators, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results:The blood oxygen saturation, shock index, pulse pressure difference, and urine output in the observation group were (76.53 ± 2.56)%, (0.43 ± 0.07), (38.56 ± 6.52) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), and (35.62 ± 4.21) mL/h, respectively. These values were all superior to those in the control group [(65.32 ± 3.21)%, (1.21 ± 0.13), (23.56 ± 4.23) mmHg, (23.65 ± 5.68) mL/h, t = 16.15, 31.25, 11.42, 10.06, all P < 0.001]. The prothrombin time, fibrinogen, activated partial thromboplastin time, and thrombin time in the observation group were (17.65 ± 0.83) seconds, (1.69 ± 0.89) g/L, (39.68 ± 0.52) seconds, and (17.86 ± 0.74) seconds, respectively. These values were significantly superior to those in the control group [(14.56 ± 0.86) seconds, (1.32 ± 0.23) g/L, (35.26 ± 0.16) seconds, and (16.02 ± 0.05) seconds, t = 15.30, 2.38, 48.06, 14.68, all P < 0.05]. The lactate level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(2.24 ± 0.53) mmol/L vs. (2.94 ± 0.78) mmol/L, t = 4.39, P < 0.05]. The platelet cohesion, red blood cell deformability, and blood viscosity in each group were significantly reduced, and these indices in the observation group were superior to those in the control group ( t = 13.71, 5.64, 5.67, all P < 0.001). The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (8.6% (3/35) vs. 60.0% (21/35), χ2 = 10.08, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Restricted resuscitation with sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution can improve clinical indicators, coagulation function, and lactate levels in patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. It can effectively improve hemodynamic indicators and reduce the incidence of complications. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
RESUMO
Hemorrhagic shock, a life-threatening organ hypoperfusion caused by rapid, massive blood loss, is the leading cause of traumatic death in peacetime and wartime. The vascular endothelial glycocalyx (vEG) plays an important role in maintaining microcirculatory homeostasis. Severe ischemia and hypoxia of hemorrhagic shock can damage the vEG, leading to endothelial dysfunction and exacerbated microcirculatory and organ impairments. Therefore, early prevention and treatment of vEG damage in hemorrhagic shock can improve microcirculation dysfunction, which is of paramount importance for therapeutic efficacies and outcomes. There have been many studies on the prevention and treatment of vEG damage in hemorrhagic shock, but none is based on the management of vEG damage. The authors reviewed the progress on the mechanism and preventive and therapeutic strategies of vEG damage caused by hemorrhagic shock, hoping to provide reference for the further research of hemorrhagic shock-induced vEG damage.
