Abstract

An open randomised, prospective study was undertaken on 90 patients who underwent routine myocardial revascularization. The aim of the study was to demonstrate that the Capiox E polypropylene fiber membrane oxygenator with a conventional single pulsatile/nonpulsatile blood pump for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was comparable in performance to that of the Maxima and the Ultrox membrane oxygenators using a double pump system. The patients were divided into six groups according to perfusion mode and oxygenator type. Laboratory parameters, fluid balance and oxygenation was examined at set times before during and after cardiopulmonary bypass. Net fluid input was lower in the Capiox E groups regardless of perfusion mode: 2932 +/- 562 ml (Capiox E), compared to 3646 +/- 531 ml (Ultrox) and 3593 +/- 582 ml (Maxima). Net fluid balance 1288 +/- 534 ml was lowest in the Capiox/NP group, compared to 1604 +/- 460 ml (Ultrox/NP) and 1881 +/- 594 ml (Maxima/NP), (p < 0.05). The higher net fluid balance in the Capiox E/PP group 1649 +/- 580 ml compared to 1592 +/- 583 ml (Ultrox E/PP) and 1494 +/- 542 ml (Maxima/PP) was attributed to a technicality whereby the recommended priming volume of the Capiox E oxygenator was exceeded for safety reasons. The values of plasma free Hb were slightly higher in the PP than NP groups: Maxima/PP 80 mg/dl, /NP 50 mg/dl; Ultrox/PP 62 mg/dl, /NP 48 mg/dl; Capiox E/PP 55 mg/dl, /NP 48 mg/dl. The FiO2 was higher in the Capiox E groups 0.77 (PP) and 0.88 (NP) compared to Maxima/PP (0.66), /NP (0.65) and Ultrox/PP (0.64), /NP (0.63). Reciprocally, the venous saturation was higher in the Ultrox and Maxima groups compared to Capiox E at end of CPB. The study demonstrated that the CapioxE oxygenator with a single blood pump system can compare to the Maxima and Ultrox oxygenators with a double blood pump for CPB with regard to blood handling, oxygenation and fluid balance in routine cardiac surgery.

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.
