ABSTRACT
As the final resolution for end-stage lung disease, lung transplantation can not only significantly prolong the survival, but also remarkably improve the quality of life of recipients. In recent decades, with the advancement of surgical techniques, immunosuppressants and post-transplantation management, the quantity of lung transplantation has been surged around the globe. However, the shortage of donor lung has severely restricted the development of lung transplantation. It is necessary to develop innovative approaches to expand the donor pool. The number of donors and effective preservation and functional maintenance of potential donor lungs play a key role in expanding the donor pool. The quality of donor lung is a critical precondition to ensure the long-term survival of lung transplant recipients. Preservation and functional maintenance of donor lung are of significance for guaranteeing the quality of lung allograft. In this article, research progresses on the management and maintenance of donor lung before procurement, the procurement of donor lung and the preservation and functional maintenance of lung allograft were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for the development of lung transplantation in clinical practice.

ABSTRACT
Pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome(PARDS)is a pulmonary inflammation syndrome caused by a variety of proinflammatory factors induced by many causes, which is mainly characterized by noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.The main pathophysiological feature is the destruction of the integrity of the alveolar capillary membrane, and the loss of the alveolar epithelial-endothelial barrier function.In the PARDS′s clinical practice, the mainstay of the treatment is supportive.Although there is still no clear definition and general consensus or guidelines, appropriate liquid therapy is an important part of non-ventilatory treatment measures.Proper fluid management strategy is helpful to improve pulmonary edema, maintain normal circulatory perfusion, prevent functional failure of important organs and improve the prognosis of patients.According to volume status, implementing the goal-oriented and phased differentiated fluid management strategy is significant for the therapy of PARDS patients.However, the effects of fluid strategy management according to PARDS phenotypes remain to be evaluated.
ABSTRACT
Resumen: El conocimiento de la fisiopatología de las quemaduras son base del manejo perioperatorio. Todos los órganos y sistemas resultan alterados y los cambios hemodinámicos en la fase aguda se caracterizan por una disminución del gasto cardíaco. Después de seis días de la lesión, ocurre un nuevo cambio hemodinámico, esta fase es conocida como estado hipermetabólico y su duración está en relación con la extensión y profundidad de la lesión. La lesión por inhalación es un factor importante a considerar como mal pronóstico y, de igual manera, el número de comorbilidades y/o trauma asociado. Durante este segundo período, los anestesiólogos tienen una participación continua y estrecha. Los problemas farmacológicos, manejo de vía aérea, accesos vasculares, hipotermia, monitoreo y control del dolor, entre otros, se hacen muy marcados. Por último, la fase de secuelas acompaña al paciente para toda su vida y la magnitud de los daños, costos y discapacidad serán directamente relacionados con la atención administrada durante las primeras dos fases.
Abstract: Knowledge of the pathophysiology of burns is the basis of perioperative management. All organs and systems are altered and hemodynamic changes in the acute phase are characterized by a decrease in cardiac output. After six days of injury a new hemodynamic change occurs, this phase is known as hypermetabolic state and its duration is in relation to the extent and depth of the injury. Inhalation injury is an important factor to consider as a poor prognosis and also the number of associated comorbidities and/or trauma. During this second period the Anesthesiologists have a continuous and close participation. Pharmacological problems, airway management, vascular access, hypothermia, monitoring and pain control among others become very marked. Finally, the phase of sequelae is for life and the magnitude of damages, costs and disability will be directly related to the care administered during the first two phases.
ABSTRACT
Acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) is one of the challenging critical diseases in pediatric intensive care unit.Continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT), playing important roles in the treatment of critical illness, has also become one of the hot spots in the treatment of patients with ARDS.Although CRRT technology has not been systematically recommended in the guideline of ARDS managements, numerous studies indicated that CRRT could improve survival and prognosis of ARDS, among which the impact on the clearance of inflammatory factors and fluid management of ARDS deserves attention.

Objective:To describe the features of point-of-care cardiopulmonary ultrasound (POCUS) in the critically ill patients and analyze the independent factors associated with treatment changes after POCUS assessment.Methods:This was a prospective multicentric observational study from January to December 2018 in 13 intensive care units (ICU) in China. Consecutive patients admitted to the ICU were enrolled, POCUS were performed within the first 24 h of admission. The POCUS parameters included acute or chronic cardiac abnormality, diameter of inferior vena cava (IVC) at end-expiration, right ventricular systolic function, systolic and diastolic function of left ventricle (LV) and lung ultrasound score. The general features of patients and performers were recorded. Based on the treatment proposed by the performer before and after POCUS assessment, the patients were divided into treatment changed and unchanged groups. Factors associated with treatment changes were identified by multiple logistic regression analysis.Results:Totally 1 913 patients were enrolled including 322 (16.8%) patients with shock, 638 (33.3%) patients with respiratory failure, 139 (7.3%) patients with both shock and respiratory failure and 814 (42.6%) perioperative patients. POCUS had contributed to treatment changes in 1 204 (62.9%) patients, including 867 (72.0%) cases involved fluid management. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in general characteristics of patients, performers and POCUS parameters between groups(all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that independent factors of treatment changes included ministry of education or university affiliated teaching hospitals (vs.general hospitals, OR=1.891, 95% CI=1.314-2.722, P<0.001 and OR=1.644, 95% CI=1.152-2.347, P=0.006 separately), middle and senior title performers (vs.primary title, OR=2.112, 95% CI=1.358-3.284, P=0.001, OR=3.271, 95% CI=2.129-5.025, P<0.001 separately), mechanical ventilation (vs.without, OR=0.488, 95% CI 0.381-0.626, P<0.001), IVC diameter ≤1 cm (vs.1-2 cm, OR=0.317, 95% CI 0.231-0.434, P<0.001), LV ejecting fraction <50% (vs.≥50%, OR=0.328, 95% CI=0.210-0.512, P<0.001), lung ultrasound score of 6-12 and >12 points(vs.score ≤ 6 points, OR=0.237, 95% CI=0.178-0.315, P<0.001 and OR=0.619, 95% CI=0.457-0.837, P=0.002 separately). Conclusions:POCUS assessment contributes to treatment changes, most of which involves fluid management strategy, in 62.9% critical patients. The independent influencing factors associated with POCUS parameters includes IVC diameter at end-expiratory, LV systolic function and lung ultrasound score. The performers′ title and hospital grade also have a noticeable effect.
ABSTRACT
In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the evaluation and management of right heart function, for which point-of-care unltrasound provides more opportunities. A patient with acute right heart failure after tricuspid valve replacement was successfully treated in department of critical care medicine of Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. This patient showed typical manifestations of acute right heart failure by point-of-care ultrasound. The overall right ventricular systolic function was weakened, and the right ventricle was enlarged. Ratio of the diameter for right ventricle to left ventricle was greater than 1. In the parasternal short-axis view, the right ventricle was oval, and ventricular septum was convex to the left ventricle. The preload of left ventricular was low and the left ventricular diastolic function was limited. Under the guidance of point-of-care ultrasound, the patient's condition tended to improve after treatments such as strengthening the heart, adjusting the preload and afterload of the left and right ventricles, improving renal blood perfusion, and respiratory support. The right ventricle was smaller than before, the systolic function of right ventricle and diastolic function of left ventricle were improved. The successful treatment experience of this case is summarized for reference.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of critical care chest ultrasonic examination(CCUE)on different fluid management phases among septic shock infants in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods:Twenty-two infants who were hospitalized in PICU during January 2017 to December 2018 and diagnosed as septic shock were included in this study.These infants received shock and infection management as well as mechanical ventilation according to the septic shock management guidelines.CCUE was applied as needed to monitor the hemodynamic status for titrated adjustment in fluid and vasoactive drug management and its impacts were evaluated.Results:The change frequencies of treatment regimen according to CCUE evaluation were different among different phases( P<0.001). Compared with the other 3 phases, the number of adjustment made to fluid management scheme caused by CCUE during the first phase was the largest(75.0%, P<0.001), and that during the fourth phase was the smallest(2.3%, P<0.01). The frequency of change during the second phase(30.5%) and the third phase(23.5%) showed no difference( P=0.210). During the first phase, compared with the group with intravenous infusion speed<10 mL/(kg·h), the group with faster intravenous infusion speed had lower LUS score and more proportion of LVEF and RVEF above 50%( P<0.05). During the second phase and the third phase, compared with group receiving slower intravenous infusion, group with faster intravenous infusion had more LVEF>50%( P<0.05). Conclusion:Application of CCUE to monitor dynamic hemodynamic of infants with septic shock in PICU has different effects on fluid management scheme adjustment at different phase.CCUE evaluation during the early 3 phases, especially during the first phase has greater influence on fluid management strategy.Rapid infusion under CCUE monitoring is often limited by cardiac ejection fraction, LUS, and mainly LVEF, especially during the first phase.Multiple ultrasonic indicators should be combined with clinical data for full evaluation.
ABSTRACT
ERAS has been responsible for reducing surgical stress, maintaining postoperative physiological function, and for enhancing mobilization after surgery. It has been ultimately shown to reduce the rates of morbidity, hastening recovery, and reducing the length of hospital stay. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome between the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery program vs. traditional care in elective abdominal surgeries. METHODSThis retrospective study was carried out in the General Surgery Department of Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala. This is a tertiary care centre that caters to the needs of nearly five districts in the state. The hospital has excellent critical care and surgical facilities. Patients were grouped as ERAS and Non-ERAS. 78 patients were included in each group. A standard questionnaire was formulated. The clinical outcomes, functional recovery, and patient experience in ERAS and conventional methods of recovery after surgery were analyzed and compared. RESULTSDuration of hospital stay, complications, and costs incurred were found to be almost 60 % less as compared to the non-ERAS group and patient satisfaction was high in the ERAS group. By using ERAS, we have been able to reduce the duration of hospital stay by more than 30 % and the post-operative complications by up to 50 %. CONCLUSIONSThe ERAS programme has definite advantage over traditional methods in terms of hospital stay, treatment cost, complications, readmission rates and overall patient satisfaction. We have to analyse the avoidable factors leading to substandard care or any missed opportunities. Patient education must also be given utmost importance.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the effects of critical care chest ultrasonic examination (CCUE) by intensive care physician on fluid management among septic shock patients in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).@*Methods@#Forty children from PICU who were diagnosed as septic shock in Shenzhen Bao′an Maternal and Child Health Hospital were included in this study.Twenty-two of them who were hospitalized in PICU during January 2017 to December 2018, under the care of 4 PICU physicians who had certificates of the Chinese Critical Ultrasound Study Group(CCUSG) were defined as CCUE group.Eighteen PICU patients from January 2014 to December 2015 having no access to CCUE were recruited as control group.Both groups were treated according to the septic shock management guidelines with routine anti-shock and anti-infection therapy, as well as mechanical ventilation.Fluid management following conventional protocol was performed in the control group.While in the CCUE group, CCUE was applied to monitor the hemodynamic status for adjustment in fluid management.@*Results@#Compared with the control group, the CCUE group had shorter mechanical ventilation time as well as less fluid intake and output within 48 hours after admission[(4.68±2.06)d vs.(7.33±0.49)d, (6.34±1.85)ml/(kg·h) vs.(8.55±0.39) ml/(kg·h), (2.47±1.22)ml/(kg·h) vs.(6.18±1.72)ml/(kg·h)] (P<0.05). The CCUE group also had a more positive fluid balance and larger dosage of midazolam and fentanyl administration[(3.87±2.33)ml/(kg·h) vs.(2.37±2.10)ml/(kg·h), (5.62±2.39)μg/(kg·min) vs.(1.68±0.82)μg/(kg·min), (1.41±0.39)μg/(kg·h) vs.(0.95±0.56)μg/(kg·h)] (P<0.05). The two groups showed no differences in vasoactive-inotropic score within 48 h(11.11±6.08 vs.9.90±4.12), dosage of furosemide[(1.07±0.52)mg/(kg.d) vs.(0.94±0.15)mg/(kg·d)], length of PICU stay[(10.73±7.48)d vs.(10.00±2.91)d], intubation rate after 1 hour of volume resuscitation[54.5%(12/22)vs.33.33%(6/18)] or mortality[8.3%(2/24)vs.5.3%(1/19)] (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Application of CCUE helps to optimize fluid management and shorten the ventilation time among children with septic shock in PICU.
ABSTRACT
The effective fluid resuscitation and management can not only save time for subsequent treatment measures but also lay the foundation for correcting blood loss and coagulation dysfunction,which helps avoid organ damage due to volume disorder during the treatment of amniotic fluid embolism(AFE).Amniotic fluid embolism management includes three parts:the phase of controlling volume load in right heart failure to avoid aggravation of pulmonary edema,maintain hemodynamic stability,the fluid resuscitationin cycle support phasea and restrictive fluid resuscitation in DIC phase.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To assess the incidence and related risk factors of postoperative intraabdominal infection in patients undergoing anatomical hepatectomy.@*Methods@#The clinical data from 122 patients who underwent anatomical major hepatectomy in our institution were retrospectively analyzed. The electronic medical data were retrieved for further analysis including the amount of crystalloid and colloid fluid infused, intraoperative estimated blood loss, volume of blood transfusion, the dosage of vasoactive drugs, postoperative liver function, inflammation index, the incidence of intraabdominal infection and the length of hospital stay (LOS).@*Results@#Patients were divided into infection group (n=39) and non- infection group (n=83). Intraabdominal infection was correlated with preoperative cirrhosis, the elevated direct bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase, the duration of operation, bilioenteric anastomosis or cholangiotomy, the infusion volume of colloid and crystalloid fluid, transfusion volume, direct bilirubin level on the POD 1(post-operation on day 1) (P<0.05); Multivariate analysis showed the incidence of intraabdominal infection was highly correlated with the amount of intraoperative colloid fluid bilioenteric anastomosis(P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Intraoperative infused volume of synthetic colloid, along with bilioenteric anastomosis are independent risk factors for postoperative intraabdominal infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To preliminarily investigate the effect of intraoperative goal-directed fluid management (GDFM) on pulmonary function and oxygen dynamics in patients with severe burns.@*Methods@#From February 2017 to May 2018, 30 patients admitted to Burn Department of our hospital with severe burns who met the criteria for inclusion and needed escharectomy and skin grafting were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled trial. The patients were divided into group GDFM of 15 cases [14 males and 1 female, (45±14) years old] and conventional liquid management group of 15 cases [12 males and 3 females, (42±10) years old] according to the random number table. During escharectomy and skin grafting, volume of patients in group GDFM was managed according to the GDFM scheme, based on cardiac output index, stroke volume variation, stroke volume index, hemoglobin, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), and other parameters; volume of patients in conventional liquid management group was managed according to clinical experience and conventional liquid management scheme, based on mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, urine output, hemoglobin, and other parameters. At post operation hour (POH) 1, 6, 12, and 24, arterial and venous blood was collected from patients of the two groups to determine the levels of extravascular lung water index (ELWI), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI), oxygenation index, ScvO2, central venous-to-arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (Pcv-aCO2), lactic acid, pH value, bicarbonate ion, and base excess routinely. Data were processed with Fisher′s exact probability test, t test, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, and least significant difference test.@*Results@#(1) The ELWI of patients in group GDFM was (4.3±1.1) mL/kg at POH 1, which was significantly lower than (6.5±3.6) mL/kg in conventional liquid management group (t=2.26, P<0.05). The ELWI levels of patients in group GDFM at POH 6, 12, and 24 were (6.8±2.2), (6.6±2.0), and (6.9±1.6) mL/kg, respectively, significantly higher than the level at POH 1 within the same group (P<0.01), and similar to (8.5±3.1), (7.8±2.3), and (8.0±3.5) mL/kg in conventional liquid management group (t=1.73, 1.53, 1.10, P>0.05). The GEDI levels between patients of the two groups were similar, and there was no significantly statistical difference between the two groups as a whole (treatment factor main effect F=2.35, time factor main effect F=0.44, interaction F=0.07, P>0.05). (2) The oxygenation index of patients in group GDFM was (350±78) mL/kg at POH 1, which was significantly higher than (259±109) mL/kg in conventional liquid management group (t=2.63, P<0.05). In conventional liquid management group, the oxygenation index of patients at POH 6 was significantly higher than that at POH 1, 12, or 24 (P<0.01). The ScvO2 levels of patients in group GDFM at POH 1, 6, and 12 were 0.516±0.105, 0.679±0.121, and 0.713±0.104, respectively, which were significantly higher than 0.382±0.194, 0.545±0.194, and 0.595±0.191 in conventional liquid management group (t=2.35, 2.27, 2.10, P<0.05). The ScvO2 levels of patients in the two groups at POH 6, 12, and 24 were significantly higher than those levels at POH 1 within the same group (P<0.01), and the ScvO2 of patients in conventional liquid management group at POH 24 was significantly higher than that at POH 6 or 12 within the same group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The Pcv-aCO2 levels of patients in group GDFM were significantly lower than those in conventional liquid management group at POH 1 and 6 (t=2.55, 2.71, P<0.05). The Pcv-aCO2 of patients in group GDFM at POH 12 was significantly lower than that at POH 6 or 24 within the same group (P<0.05). (3) The blood lactic acid levels and pH values between patients of the two groups were similar at POH 1, 6, 12, and 24 (t=0.89, 0.19, 0.26, 0.23; 1.55, 0.71, 0.77, 0.77, P>0.05). In conventional liquid management group, the blood lactic acid levels of patients at POH 6, 12, and 24 were significantly lower than the level at POH 1 within the same group (P<0.05), and the pH values of patients at POH 6, 12, and 24 were significantly higher than the value at POH 1 within the same group (P<0.05). The levels of bicarbonate ion and base excess between patients of the two groups were similar, and there were no significantly statistical differences between the two groups as a whole (treatment factor main effect F=0.06, 0.11, time factor main effect F=2.07, 1.59, interaction F=1.45, 0.91, P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#GDFM is helpful to improve the pulmonary function and oxygen dynamics in patients with severe burns in the short term after escharectomy and skin grafting. It has certain significance in preventing and reducing pulmonary edema and pulmonary complications in patients with severe burn after operation.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the influence of directed restrictive fluid management strategy (RFMS) on patients with serious burns complicated by severe inhalation injury.@*Methods@#Sixteen patients with serious burns complicated by severe inhalation injury hospitalized in our department from December 2014 to December 2017, meeting the inclusion criteria and treated with RFMS, were enrolled in directed treatment group. Thirty-four patients with serious burns complicated by severe inhalation injury hospitalized in our department from December 2012 to December 2017, meeting the inclusion criteria and without RFMS, were enrolled in routine treatment group. Medical records of patients in 2 groups were retrospectively analyzed. Within post injury day 2, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), extravascular lung water index (ELWI), global end-diastolic volume index, and pulmonary vascular permeability index of patients in directed treatment group were monitored by pulse contour cardiac output monitoring technology, while MAP and CVP of patients in routine treatment group were monitored by routine method. On post injury day 3 to 7, patients in 2 groups were treated with routine fluid supplement therapy of our Department to maintain hemodynamic stability, and patients in directed treatment group were treated according to RFMS directed with goal of ELWI≤7 mL·kg-1·m-2. On post injury day 3 to 7, total fluid intake, total fluid output, and total fluid difference between fluid intake and output within 24 h, value of blood lactic acid, and oxygenation index of patients in 2 groups were recorded. Occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on post injury day 3 to 7 and 8 to 28, mechanical ventilation time within post injury day 28, and occurrence of death of patients in 2 groups were counted. Data were processed with chi-square test, t test, and analysis of variance for repeated measurement.@*Results@#The total fluid intakes within 24 h of patients in directed treatment group were close to those in routine treatment group on post injury day 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (t=-0.835, -1.618, -2.463, -1.244, -2.552, P>0.05). The total fluid outputs and total fluid differences between fluid intake and output within 24 h of patients in 2 groups on post injury day 3 were close (t=0.931, -2.274, P>0.05). The total fluid outputs within 24 h of patients in directed treatment group were significantly higher than those in routine treatment group on post injury day 4, 5, 6, 7 (t=2.645, 2.352, 1.847, 1.152, P<0.05). The total fluid differences between fluid intake and output within 24 h of patients in directed treatment group were (2 928±768), (2 028±1 001), (2 186±815), and (2 071±963) mL, significantly lower than (4 455±960), (3 434±819), (3 233±1 022), and (3 453±829) mL in routine treatment group (t=-4.331, -3.882, -3.211, -4.024, P<0.05). The values of blood lactic acid of patients in directed treatment group and routine treatment group on post injury day 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 were close (t=0.847, 1.221, 0.994, 1.873, 1.948, P>0.05). The oxygenation indexes of patients in directed treatment group on post injury day 3 and 4 were (298±78) and (324±85) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa ), which were close to (270±110) and (291±90) mmHg in routine treatment group (t=-1.574, 2.011, P>0.05). The oxygenation indexes of patients in directed treatment group on post injury day 5, 6, 7 were (372±88), (369±65), and (377±39) mmHg, significantly higher than (302±103), (313±89), and (336±78) mmHg in routine treatment group (t=3.657, 3.223, 2.441, P<0.05). On post injury day 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, patients with ARDS in directed treatment group were less than those in routine treatment group, but with no significantly statistical difference between the 2 groups (χ2=0.105, P>0.05). On post injury day 8 to 28, patients with ARDS in directed treatment group were significantly less than those in routine treatment group (χ2=0.827, P<0.05). The mechanical ventilation time within post injury day 28 of patients in directed treatment group was apparently shorter than that in routine treatment group (t=-2.895, P<0.05). Death of patients in directed treatment group within post injury day 28 was less than that in routine treatment group, but with no significantly statistical difference between the 2 groups (χ2=0.002, P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#Under the circumstance of hemodynamics stability, RFMS directed with goal of ELWI≤7 mL·kg-1·m-2 on post injury day 3 to 7 is an useful strategy, which can reduce occurrence rate of ADRS and shorten mechanical ventilation time of patients with serious burns complicated by severe inhalation injury at late stage of burns.

Objective To explore the application value of pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring in the fluid management of children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods Thirty-two children with ARDS admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit(PICU) of Zhengzhou Children's Hospital,from April 2013 to April 2016,were divided into intervention group (15 cases) and control group (17 cases) by adopting random number table method.Fluid management of intervention group by PiCCO,control group by central venous pressure,the 2 groups' oxygenation index (OI),acute lung injury score,mechanical ventilation time and 28 days mortality were statistically compared.The categorical data were analyzed by using SPSS 11.0 software,and the t test was used for the measurement data.The categorical data and mortality comparison were analyzed by adopting x2 test.The difference was statistically significant at P ＜ 0.05.Results After 3 days of mechanical ventilation,the changes of OI in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group [(175.0 ±-43.7) mmHg vs.(143.0 ± 42.8) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),t =2.090 0,P ＜ 0.05].The intervention group was significantly shorter than the control group [(10.45 ± 3.12) d vs.(12.63 ± 2.87) d,t =2.058 7,P ＜ 0.05].There was no significant difference between 2 groups in acute lung injury score,PICU length of stay and 28 days mortality (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions PiCCO monitoring and guidance in the fluid management of pediatric ARDS can improve oxygenation after 3 days,reduce mechanical ventilation time,but can not significantly reduce the 28-day mortality.
ABSTRACT
Spinal anesthesia with advantages of easy operation, fast effect and small maternal and neonatal effects has always been the preferred anes?thetic technique for cesarean section in China. However, maternal hypotension induced by spinal anesthesia remain a large challenge for anaesthetist. Perioperative fluid management plays important roles in maintaining maternal and fetal hemodynamics. This review mainly analyzes pathophysiological mechanism of maternal hypotension induced by spinal anesthesia,introduces different fluid?management strategy and functions on prevention of maternal hypotension.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of conventional or goal-directed fluid management on hemodynamics in patients undergoing orthopaedic arthroscopic shoulder surgery in beach chair po-sition.Methods Thirty healthy adult patients,male 1 7 cases,female 13 cases,aged 18-65 years, weight 49-68 kg,ASA Ⅰor Ⅱ,undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery,were enrolled.Pa-tients were randomly assigned to the group R(Routine group,n = 1 5 )and the group S(SVV/CI/MAP-directed,n =1 5).All patients received 10 ml/kg of hydroxyethyl starch rapidly in group R;while in group S,if SVV > 13%,patients would receive 3 ml/kg of hydroxyethyl starch in 5 min, then the changes of each index were observed;if SVV 2.5 L·min-1 ·m-2 .At 5 min after anesthesia induc-tion,patients were placed in a 60° upright position.The hemodynamic changes were monitored by FloTrac/Vigileo system.Heart rate (HR),mean artery pressure(MAP),cardiac index(CI),stroke volume variation(SVV),stroke volume index (SVI),were recorded on pre-induction (T1 ),post-induc-tion (T2 ),immediately after in beach chair position (T3 ),5 min after in beach chair position(T4 ),30 min after in beach chair position(T5 ),and at the end of surgery(T6 ).The duration of surgery,crys-talloid requirements,colloid requirements,urinary output,the dose of vasoactive drugs and the inci-dence of hypotension were recorded.Results Compared with T1 ,MAP,CI and SVI at T3-T5 point (after in BCP to the end of the surgery)were higher in both group(P <0.05 ).Compared with T2 , SVV in group R at T3-T5 were significantly increased (P <0.05),while SVV in group S only at T3 was slightly increased (P <0.05).Compared with group R,MAP,CI and SVI at T3-T5 were signif-icantly higher respectively,while SVV were higher at T3-T5 in group R (P <0.05).Compared with group R,the colloid requirements and total requirements in group S were significantly increased(P <0.05).Compared with group R,the doses of dopamine and ephedrine,the urinary output,the inci-dence of hypotension in group S were significantly reduced(P <0.05).Conclusion SVV/CI/MAP-di-rected fluid management is safer,more effective and renders much more stable hemodynamic than the routine fluid management.
