AbstractRecently, maintaining a certain oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) range in mechanically ventilated patients was recommended; attaching the INTELLiVENT-ASV to ventilators might be beneficial. We evaluated the SpO2 measurement accuracy of a Nihon Kohden and a Masimo monitor compared to actual arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). SpO2 was simultaneously measured by a Nihon Kohden and Masimo monitor in patients consecutively admitted to a general intensive care unit and mechanically ventilated. Bland–Altman plots were used to compare measured SpO2 with actual SaO2. One hundred mechanically ventilated patients and 1497 arterial blood gas results were reviewed. Mean SaO2 values, Nihon Kohden SpO2 measurements, and Masimo SpO2 measurements were 95.7%, 96.4%, and 96.9%, respectively. The Nihon Kohden SpO2 measurements were less biased than Masimo measurements; their precision was not significantly different. Nihon Kohden and Masimo SpO2 measurements were not significantly different in the “SaO2 < 94%” group (P = 0.083). In the “94% ≤ SaO2 < 98%” and “SaO2 ≥ 98%” groups, there were significant differences between the Nihon Kohden and Masimo SpO2 measurements (P < 0.0001; P = 0.006; respectively). Therefore, when using automatically controlling oxygenation with INTELLiVENT-ASV in mechanically ventilated patients, the Nihon Kohden SpO2 sensor is preferable.Trial registration UMIN000027671.

The experiments were performed on 280 male Wistar rats weighing 300-340 g. The design of the study included: modeling of compression injury of the soft tissues of the thigh, local injection of the preparation of hyaluronic acid "Gialift 3.5" into the area of damage 3 hours after the cessation of compression, taking into account the results after 7, 14 and 28 days. The introduction of hyaluronic acid into the area of compression injury of soft tissues reduces the severity of myoglobinemia, increases the immunohistochemical density of VEGF-positive cells, improves the perfusion characteristics of microcirculation, oxygen saturation, and specific oxygen consumption by tissues. Keywords: traumatic muscle ischemia, hyaluronic acid, myoglobin, microcirculation, metabolism, laser Doppler flowmetry, morphometry.

In experimental animals neurologic damage may occur during seizure activity whether the seizure is accompanied by motor activity and hypoxemia or whether the animal is paralyzed and normoxemic. These findings suggest that it may be important to detect seizure activity in the paralyzed neonate. Nine infants who were mechanically ventilated and paralyzed with pancuronium had their condition diagnosed as seizure activity. Vital signs were continuously monitored and six infants had either oxygen saturation or transcutaneous oxygen measured during seizure activity. For the group as a whole, rhythmic fluctuations in vital signs, cardiac rhythm, and oxygenation occurred every four minutes (range one to seven minutes) and lasted two minutes (range one to four minutes). In seven patients whose seizures were not accompanied by cardiac arrhythmias the following mean increases were noted: systolic arterial blood pressure, 15 mm Hg (range 7 to 36 mm Hg); heart rate, ten beats per minute (-11 to 30/min); oxygen saturation, 12% (range 4% to 20%); and transcutaneous oxygen, 31 mm Hg (range 14 to 45 mm Hg). Seizures in the two patients with cardiac arrhythmias were accompanied by a decrease in systolic arterial blood pressure of 27 mm Hg (range 15 to 40 mm Hg) and in oxygen saturation of 24% (range 20% to 28%). The presence of rhythmic fluctuation in vital signs and oxygenation should alert the physician to the possibility of seizure activity in the paralyzed neonate.

Oxygen consumption, heart rate, and colonic, pinna, and paw temperatures were recorded continuously in warm-adapted (W-A) and cold-adapted (C-A) dogs anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg), paralyzed with Flaxedil (5 mg/kg per hr), and mechanically ventilated. The dogs were infused with norepinephrine (1.25 µg/kg per min) for 20 min at 30 C and after 45 min of acute cold exposure to 5 C. Oxygen consumption of C-A dogs increased with a slight increase in the heart rate during the initial 18–20 min of body cooling. O2 consumption decreased continuously during cold exposure in W-A dogs. Calorigenic effects of infused noradrenaline were similar in C-A and W-A dogs at 30 C and 5 C. Heart rate increased in W-A dogs at 30 and 5 C. These results show that nonshivering thermogenesis is well developed by cold acclimation in dogs, and suggest that the increase may be due to an increase in noradrenaline in blood rather than to increased sensitivity of the animals to the calorigenic effects of noradrenaline.

Myocardial mean myoglobin oxygen saturation was determined spectroscopically from isolated guinea pig hearts perfused with red blood cells during increasing hypoxia. These experiments were undertaken to compare intracellular myoglobin oxygen saturation in isolated hearts perfused with a modest concentration of red blood cells (5% hematocrit) with intracellular myoglobin saturation previously reported from traditional buffer-perfused hearts. Studies were performed at 37°C with hearts paced at 240 beats/min and a constant perfusion pressure of 80 cmH2O. It was found that during perfusion with a hematocrit of 5%, baseline mean myoglobin saturation was 93% compared with 72% during buffer perfusion. Mean myoglobin saturation, ventricular function, and oxygen consumption remained fairly constant for arterial perfusate oxygen tensions above 100 mmHg and then decreased precipitously below 100 mmHg. In contrast, mean myoglobin saturation, ventricular function, and oxygen consumption began to decrease even at high oxygen tension with buffer perfusion. The present results demonstrate that perfusion with 5% red blood cells in the perfusate increases the baseline mean myoglobin saturation and better preserves cardiac function at low oxygen tension relative to buffer perfusion. These results suggest that caution should be used in extrapolating intracellular oxygen dynamics from buffer-perfused to blood-perfused hearts.

Background During halothane anesthesia, infants fail to increase oxygen consumption in response to a cold stimulus in the form of an increase in temperature gradient between body and environment. Based on recent observations with isolated brown-fat cells, it seemed feasible that this inability to respond could be due to an inhibition of nonshivering thermogenesis during halothane anesthesia. Methods The rate of oxygen consumption was measured in cold-acclimated hamsters and rats. The rate evoked by norepinephrine injection in hamsters at an environmental temperature of approximately 24 degrees C was used as a measure of the capacity for nonshivering thermogenesis. Anesthesia was induced by 3% halothane and maintained by 1.5% halothane. One experimental series with spontaneously breathing hamsters and a second control series with spontaneously breathing rats and with rats whose lungs were mechanically ventilated were conducted. Results Norepinephrine injection led to a fourfold increase in the rate of oxygen consumption in control hamsters; after this response had subsided, a second injection led to a similar effect. Halothane anesthesia caused an approximately 20% decrease in resting metabolic rate (P &lt; 0.05) and a 70% inhibition of the thermogenic response to norepinephrine (P &lt; 0.001). The halothane concentration yielding half-maximal inhibitory effect was estimated to be less than 1.0%. After the animals had recovered from halothane anesthesia, a completely restored thermogenic response to norepinephrine was observed. The inhibitory effect of halothane also was observed in hamsters maintained at normothermia and was therefore not secondary to the slight hypothermia that otherwise developed during anesthesia. In a series of control experiments, it was confirmed that rats also showed large thermogenic responses to norepinephrine injections, and it was found that, in spontaneously breathing halothane-anesthetized rats, the thermogenic response to norepinephrine was also much inhibited. Further, in halothane-anesthetized rats whose lungs were mechanically ventilated, and where blood gases were kept at virtually normal levels, the thermogenic response to norepinephrine was found to be similarly markedly inhibited. Conclusions A much diminished or abolished thermogenic response to injected norepinephrine was demonstrated in halothane-anesthetized animals. This implies that there would be a diminished ability to elicit nonshivering thermogenesis even when this process is physiologically induced. Such a diminished ability could in part explain the susceptibility of neonates and infants to hypothermia during halothane anesthesia.

Minimizing the high oxygen consumption and energy expenditure of the critically ill is an important therapeutic goal. This study was done to determine if neuromuscular blockade decreases oxygen consumption or energy expenditure more than sedation alone in the mechanically ventilated child. Twelve burned children, with an average age of 5.1- 1.6 yrs, average weight of 22.8 − 6.5 kg, and average burn size of 28.3 − 5.8% of the body surface, scheduled for a planned surgical procedure under general anesthesia were enrolled in this prospective self-controlled study. In conjunction with planned operative procedures and using an intravenous anesthetic technique, the children underwent expired gas collection before and after neuromuscular blockade was induced. Expired gas was collected and analyzed for the fractional concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2), energy expenditure (EE), and respiratory quotient (RQ) were calculated. We found no significant difference in EE, VO2, VCO2, or RQ between the well-sedated and mechanically ventilated and the well-sedated, mechanically ventilated and paralyzed states. We therefore concluded that neuromuscular blockade does not decrease energy expenditure in the otherwise well-sedated burned child.
