Femoral access in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has been associated with regional variations in arterial oxygen saturation, potentially predisposing the patient to ischemic tissue damage. Current monitoring techniques, however, are limited to intermittent bedside evaluation of capillary refill among other factors. The aim of this study was to assess whether cerebral and limb regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) values reflect changes in various patient-related parameters during venoarterial ECLS (VA-ECLS). This retrospective observational study included adults assisted by femorofemoral VA-ECLS. Bifrontal cerebral and bilateral limb tissue oximetry was performed for the entire duration of support. Hemodynamic data were analyzed parallel to cerebral and limb rSO2. A total of 23 patients were included with a median ECLS duration of 5 [1-20] days. Cardiac arrhythmias were observed in 12 patients, which was associated with a decreased mean rSO2 from 61%±11% to 51%±10% during atrial fibrillation and 67%±9% to 58%±10% during ventricular fibrillation ( P<0.001 for both). A presumably sudden increase in cardiac output due to myocardial recovery (n=8) resulted in a significant decrease in mean cerebral rSO2 from 73%±7% to 54%±6% and from 69%±9% to 53%±8% for the left and right cerebral hemisphere, respectively ( P=0.012 for both hemispheres). Also, right radial artery partial gas pressure for oxygen decreased from 15.6±2.8 to 8.3±1.9 kPa ( P=0.028). No differences were found in cerebral desaturation episodes between patients with and without neurologic complications. In six patients, limb rSO2 increased from on average 29.3±2.7 to 64.0±5.1 following insertion of a distal cannula in the femoral artery ( P=0.027). Likewise, restoration of flow in a clotted distal cannula inserted in the femoral artery was necessary in four cases and resulted in increased limb rSO2 from 31.3±0.8 to 79.5±9.0; P=0.068. Non-invasive tissue oximetry adequately reflects events influencing cerebral and limb perfusion and can aid in monitoring tissue perfusion in patients assisted by ECLS.

Body temperature (BT) management remains a challenge in neonatal intensive care, especially during resuscitation after birth. Our aim is to analyze whether there is an association between the BT and cerebral and peripheral tissue oxygen saturation (crSO2/cTOI and prSO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), and heart rate (HR). The secondary outcome parameters of five prospective observational studies are analyzed. We include preterm and term neonates born by Caesarean section who received continuous pulse oximetry and near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring during the first 15 min, and a rectal BT measurement once in minute 15 after birth. Four-hundred seventeen term and 169 preterm neonates are included. The BT did not correlate with crSO2/cTOI and SpO2. The BT correlated with the HR in all neonates (ρ = 0.210, p < 0.001) and with prSO2 only in preterm neonates (ρ = −0.285, p = 0.020). The BT was lower in preterm compared to term infants (36.7 [36.4–37.0] vs. 36.8 [36.6–37.0], p = 0.001) and prevalence of hypothermia was higher in preterm neonates (29.5% vs. 12.0%, p < 0.001). To conclude, the BT did not correlate with SpO2 and crSO2/cTOI, however, there was a weak positive correlation between the BT and the HR in the whole cohort and a weak correlation between the BT and prSO2 only in preterm infants. Preterm neonates had a statistically lower BT and suffered significantly more often from hypothermia during postnatal transition.

Background: As neonates transition from a relatively hypoxic environment to extra-uterine life, arterial oxygen saturation dramatically increases. This transition occurs while most organs have not fully matured. The ability for immature tissue to adequately extract and utilize oxygen remains largely unknown. With the development of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), measuring specific tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) noninvasively, clinicians can measure StO2 and determine if adequate tissue oxygenation is maintained. The objective of this study is to determine the relationships of NIRS brain and somatic autoregulation function to patients’ severity of illness. Methods: In this prospective cohort pilot study, after parental consent, neonates less than 34 weeks with arterial access, were enrolled. The FORE-SIGHT NIRS probe was placed on the forehead and abdominal wall for 24 hours. Continuous arterial blood pressure, SpO2 and cerebral and somatic NIRS were used to derive autoregulation function. Results: Data was obtained from 17 neonates (0.540 to 2.37 kg, gestation 23.0 to 33.2 weeks). The autoregulation function categorizes pressure passive index (PPI) values as good, borderline, or poor. For normal autoregulation function, PPI values tend to be low and fairly constant for a range of MAP. The PPI borderline zone is a hypothetical range of PPI values where autoregulation function transitions from good to poor. Conclusion: Our results show most premature neonates, as long as they maintained normal BP and systemic circulation can autoregulate cerebral perfusion. When BP are above or below the normal MAP for age, the neonate is at risk for losing brain and somatic autoregulation.

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.

Background: We aimed to use the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry to describe the current practice of rest mechanical ventilation setting in children receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) and to determine if relationships exist between ventilator settings and mortality. Methods: Data for patients 14 days to 18 years old who received V-V ECMO from 2012-2016 were reviewed. Mechanical ventilation data available includes mode and settings at 24 h after ECMO cannulation. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine if rest settings were associated with mortality. Results: We reviewed 1161 subjects, of which 1022 (88%) received conventional mechanical ventilation on ECMO. Rest settings, expressed as medians (25th%, 75th%), are as follows: rate 12 breaths/minute (10, 17); peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) 22 cmH2O (20,27); positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 10 cmH2O (8, 10); and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) 0.4 (0.37, 0.60). Survival to discharge was 68%. Higher ventilator FiO2 (odds ratio:1.13 per 0.1 increase, 95% confidence interval:1.04, 1.23), independent of arterial oxygen saturation, was associated with mortality. Conclusions: Current rest ventilator management for children receiving V-V ECMO primarily relies on conventional mechanical ventilation with moderate amounts of PIP, PEEP, and FiO2. Further study on the relationship between FiO2 and mortality should be pursued.

1. In a series of rats subjected to hemorrhage and shock a high negative correlation was found between the portal and peripheral venous oxygen saturations and the arterial blood pressure on the one hand, and the blood amino nitrogen levels on the other, and a high positive correlation between the portal and the peripheral oxygen saturations and between each of these and the blood pressure. 2. In five cats subjected to hemorrhage and shock the rise in plasma amino nitrogen and the fall in peripheral and portal venous oxygen saturations were confirmed. Further it was shown that the hepatic vein oxygen saturation falls early in shock while the arterial oxygen saturation showed no alteration except terminally, when it may fall also. 3. Ligation of the hepatic artery in rats did not affect the liver's ability to deaminate amino acids. Hemorrhage in a series of hepatic artery ligated rats did not produce any greater rise in the blood amino nitrogen than a similar hemorrhage in normal rats. The hepatic artery probably cannot compensate to any degree for the decrease in portal blood flow in shock. 4. An operation was devised whereby the viscera and portal circulation of the rat were eliminated and the liver maintained only on its arterial circulation. The ability of such a liver to metabolize amino acids was found to be less than either the normal or the hepatic artery ligated liver and to have very little reserve. 5. On complete occlusion of the circulation to the rat liver this organ was found to resist anoxia up to 45 minutes. With further anoxia irreversible damage to this organ's ability to handle amino acids occurred. 6. It is concluded that the blood amino nitrogen rise during shock results from an increased breakdown of protein in the peripheral tissues, the products of which accumulate either because they do not circulate through the liver at a sufficiently rapid rate or because with continued anoxia intrinsic damage may occur to the hepatic parenchyma so that it cannot dispose of amino acids.
