Abstract

Continuous, non-invasive measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) during haemodialysis was performed in 18 patients with chronic renal failure. They were dialyzed three times for 2 1/2-3 1/2 h weekly using a capillary polysulfone (F60) or a cuprophane (D2) filter. The total number of O2 saturation curves analyzed was 48. The whole group showed a significant mean decline in SaO2 by 1.9% as compared with predialysis values. In 7 patients with three or more recordings, the significant mean decline in SaO2 was 1.5-4.2% and occurred within 15-60 min after onset of haemodialysis. Evaluation of SaO2 during episodes of severe depression of blood pressure was not possible due to loss of the signal as a consequence of peripheral vasoconstriction. Changes in SaO2 which occurred without any clinical signs or symptoms included very short episodes of depression of SaO2 by 3-22%; a decrease in SaO2 by 3-6% occurring towards the end of the treatment and followed by depressed values for a period of 20-60 min; episodes of marked instability of SaO2 values with differences of up to 10%, lasting 20-60 min and occurring towards the end of the treatment. Application of cuprophane instead of polysulfone filter membranes, first use and reuse of dialyzers, and microemboli blood filters were not found to influence the changes in SaO2. There was a significant difference in the initial decrease in SaO2 during acetate as compared with bicarbonate dialysis.

Laparoscopic surgery impairs tissue oxygen tension more than open surgery.

BACKGROUND: Wound infection remains a common and serious complication after colonic surgery. Although many colonic operations are performed laparoscopically, it remains unclear whether this has any impact on the incidence of wound infection. Subcutaneous tissue oxygenation is an excellent predictor of surgical wound infection. The impact of open and laparoscopic colonic surgery on tissue oxygenation was compared. METHODS: Fifty-two patients undergoing elective open and laparoscopic left-sided colonic resections were evaluated in a prospective observational study. Anaesthesia management was standardized and intraoperative arterial partial pressure of oxygen was kept at 150 mmHg in both groups. Oxygen tension was measured in the subcutaneous tissue of the right upper arm. RESULTS: At the start of surgery subcutaneous tissue oxygen tension (PsqO(2)) was similar in both groups (mean(s.d.) 65.8(17.2) and 63.7(23.6) mmHg for open and laparoscopic operations respectively; P = 0.714). Tissue oxygen remained stable in the open group, but dropped significantly in the laparoscopic group during the course of surgery (PsqO(2) after operation 53.4(12.9) and 45.5(11.6) mmHg, respectively; P = 0.012). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic colonic surgery significantly decreases PsqO(2), an effect that occurs early in the course of surgery. As tissue oxygen tension is a predictor of wound infection, these results may explain why the risk of wound infection after laparoscopic surgery remains higher than expected.

Open and closed endotracheal suction systems in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Closed suction systems (CSS) are increasingly replacing open suction systems (OSS) to perform endotracheal toilet in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients. Yet effectiveness regarding patient safety and costs of these systems has not been carefully analyzed. OBJECTIVE: To review effectiveness of CSS and OSS, with respect to patient outcome, bacterial contamination, and costs in adult intensive care unit patients. DATA SOURCE: Search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases and a manual review of article bibliographies. STUDY SELECTION: Randomized controlled trials comparing CSS and OSS in adult intensive care unit patients were retrieved. DATA EXTRACTION/SYNTHESIS: Assessment of abstracts and study quality was performed by two reviewers. Data were combined in meta-analyses by random effect models. Fifteen trials were identified. No significant differences were found in incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia (eight studies, 1,272 patients) and mortality (four studies, 1,062 patients). No conclusions could be drawn with respect to arterial oxygen saturation (five studies, 109 patients), arterial oxygen tension (two studies, 19 patients), and secretion removal (two studies, 37 patients). Compared with OSS, endotracheal suctioning with CSS significantly reduced changes in heart rate (four studies, 85 patients; weighted mean difference, -6.33; 95% confidence interval, -10.80 to -1.87) and changes in mean arterial pressure (three studies, 59 patients; standardized mean difference, -0.43; 95% confidence interval, -0.87 to 0.00) but increased colonization (two studies, 126 patients; relative risk, 1.51; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-2.04). CSS seems to be more expensive than OSS. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of this meta-analysis, there is no evidence to prefer CSS more than OSS.
