fter fracture of femoral neck , the head is often encountered ayascular necrosis. It was not clearwhether the causes of the necrosis was due to injury of the artery or stagnation of venous return orboth. We had observed the hmeodynamics of the blood circulation of both fermoral head of both sides in 27 cases of subcapital fracture by E. C. T. (Emission Computerized Tomography). The resultsshowed that either old, fresh, or heal fractures showed stagnation of venous return. There wasoblite...
Objective To evaluate the security and validity of the acute extreme hypervolemic hemodilution (AEHH) in spine surgery. Methods Thirteen patients(8 males, 5 females; age, 16-65 years; weight, 50-75 kg) who had undergone major spine operations were enrolled in this study. Eleven of them had undergone anterior decompression, who were given the grafting and the internal fixation for their thoracolumber spinal burst fractures; the other 2 patients were given the correction operation for their scoliosis. The baselines of the haematocrit (Hct）were 0.363-0.481 before operation. The patients had no cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic or renal dysfunction or coagulation abnormality. The hemodynamic status and the haematocrit were observed during operation. The parameters of thromboelastography (TEG)，arterial blood gas, and electrolytes were measured and observed at the following time points: before AEHH, after AEHH, 60 minutes after AEHH, 120 minutes after AEHH, and the end of the operation. The total fluid volume was recorded. Results The autologous blood volume was1 050-1 575 ml (average,1 419±198 ml), plasma substitute 2 100-3 150 ml (average,2 838±397 ml), blood loss1 000-3 130 ml (average, 1 747±743 ml), urine 450-1 270 ml (average, 871±374 ml), and the net blood transfusion 1 206-2 661 ml(1 863±598 ml). The homogenous blood of 400 ml was transfused in 1 patient for making upthe blood loss of 3 130 ml. There were no statistically significant differencesin the hemodynamic measurements, arterial blood gas, and electrolyte variables when compared with the baseline values before the hemodilution (Pgt;0.05). The reaction time of TEG was longer 60 minutes after AEHH than before AEHH (Plt;0.05); the other parameters of TEG had no differences when compared with the baseline values (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The AEHH is safe and efficient in reduction of the perioperative homogenous blood transfusion in spine surgery.
Objective To investigate the effects of normal saline flushing and its frequency on extracorporeal circuit lifespan and solute removal in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) without anticoagulation. Methods Patients undergoing continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) without anticoagulation between June and September 2021 were prospectively collected. The patients were randomly divided into three groups by envelope method, namely 30 min-flushing group (flushing every 30 minutes for extracorporeal circulation), 2 h-flushing group (flushing every 2 hours for extracorporeal circulation), and non-flushing group (no flushing for extracorporeal circulation during treatment). All patients were treated with Prismaflex V8.0 CRRT machine and matched AN69ST-ST150 extracorporeal circuit, through either femoral or internal jugular venous double-lumen catheter. CVVHDF was adopted, the blood pump rate was 200 mL/min, and the rates of replacement fluid and dialysate were both 1 000 mL/h. The replacement fluid was pre-post dilution. Extracorporeal circuit lifespan, treatment time delayed by flushing, overall treatment time of CRRT, actual treatment time of CRRT, proportion of actual treatment time achieved, delayed daily treatment time, and small molecule solute removal efficiency before and after treatment were recorded. Results A total of 83 patients were included, including 24 in the 30 min-flushing group, 30 in the 2 h-flushing group, and 29 in the non-flushing group. There were significant differences in the indexes of extracorporeal circuit lifespan and various treatment time indicators among the three groups (P<0.05). Compared with the 2 h-flushing group and the non-flushing group, the 30 min-flushing group significantly shortened the extracorporeal circuit lifespan, delayed more treatment time by flushing, and delayed the longest daily treatment time (P<0.05). The proportion of actual treatment time in the non-flushing group was significantly higher than that in the 30 min-flushing group and the 2 h-flushing group (P<0.05), and in the 2 h-flushing group was also higher than that in the 30 min-flushing group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the blood urea nitrogen clearance rate among the three groups (P=0.570), but the serum creatinine clearance rate was significantly different among the three groups (P=0.020). Compared with the 30 min-flushing group, the 2 h-flushing group had a higher serum creatinine clearance rate, and there was statistical significance (P<0.05). Twenty-five patients had hypotension during treatment. The frequency of 30 min-flushing caused a higher risk of coagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (hazard ratio=2.502, P=0.001). Conclusion For CVVHDF without anticoagulation, longer extracorporeal circuit lifespan and longer effective treatment time can be achieved without using normal saline flush.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of lidocaine injected prior to tracheal extubation in preventing hemodynamic responses to tracheal extubation in general anesthesia.MethodsPubMed, Ovid, Web of Science, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of lidocaine administrated prior to extubation in preventing hemodynamic responses to tracheal extubation in patients undergoing general anesthesia from inception to October, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 13.0 software.ResultsA total of 10 RCTs involving 525 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: compared with control group, lidocaine could reduce mean arterial pressure in 5 min after extubation (MD=–5.10, 95%CI –9.41 to –0.79, P=0.02), weaken the increase in systolic blood pressure caused by extubation from the moment before extubation to 5 minutes after extubation (before extubation: MD=–7.22, 95%CI –10.34 to –4.11, P<0.000 01; at extubation: MD=–14.02, 95%CI –19.42 to –8.62, P<0.000 01; 1 minutes after extubation: MD=–15.82, 95%CI –22.20 to –9.45, P<0.000 01; 3 minutes after extubation: MD=–12.55, 95%CI –20.36 to –4.74, P=0.002; and 5 minutes after extubation: MD=–12.05, 95%CI –20.35 to –3.74, P=0.004), and weakened extubation-induced increase in diastolic blood pressure at extubation (MD=–9.71, 95%CI –16.57 to –2.86, P=0.005). In addition, lidocaine inhibited heart rate in all time points except the moment of before and at 10 minutes after extubation.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that lidocaine can inhibit the increase in blood pressure and heart rate caused by extubation at certain times. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify above conclusions.
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequently used in cardiac surgery. A minority of patients assume most of the blood products transfusion during and after cardiac operations. Observational analysis of transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery has uniformly demonstrated that RBC transfusion is associated with a significantly increasing risk of all-cause mortality and other serious adverse outcomes. In addition, it is an established fact that such patients can tolerate relatively low hemoglubin (Hb) levels. Consequently, it becomes widely accepted that appropriate limitation of transfusions could confer a substantial benefit to patients and decrease the use of limited resource. As a result, a restrictive threshold for blood transfusion is likely to be favored under most circumstances. However, an increasing amount of data differing from the observational analysis shows that clinical outcomes in patients who received transfusions with restrictive thresholds for Hb level are not superior to those with liberal thresholds. It has created a new uncertainty regarding the use of a restrictive threshold for transfusion during the perioperative period of cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the blood viscosity changes in ischemic injury of rabbits liver and the protective effect of ahalysantinfarctasum upon liver. Before and after occlusion of hepatic blood flow, a capollary type viscomiter was used to measure the whole blood viscosity, plasma viccosity, hematocrit and fibrinogen. Both morphological and functional changes of the liver were observed. The results showed that the liver subject to 30 minutes ischemia revealed a significant increaese of whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and hematocrit in the ischemic group, at sawm time both marked morphologic and functional xhanges of the liver were ovserved. Never-theless. the change of hemorheologic parameters of the pretreatment group did not show any significant difference compared with that bifore occlusion of hepatic portal, and had minimal changes morphologically. The study proved that blood voscosity increased obviously during liver ischemic injury and indicated the effective protection of ahalysantinfarctasum on liver.
