Objective: To determine the effects of: a) surgical trauma, b) crystalloid resuscitation, and c) different durations of hypotension on cellular immunity after hemorrhagic shock.
Design: Prospective, multiexperimental, randomized, controlled studies.
Setting: University research laboratory.
Subjects: Inbred C3H/HeN (endotoxin-sensitive) mice, aged 6 to 7 wks, weighing 18 to 23 g.
Interventions: Crystalloid resuscitation, with and without blood, after hemorrhage.
Measurements And Main Results: Mice which did or did not undergo laparotomy were subjected to hypotension of 35 mm Hg for 60 or 90 mins. Crystalloid resuscitation with and without blood was then provided. Animals were killed at 2 hrs after hemorrhage and cytokine concentrations in supernatants of splenocytes, splenic macrophages, and serum were assessed by bioassays. The cellular release of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-3, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor, and the splenocyte proliferative capacity were significantly and similarly depressed in all groups. Conversely, circulating IL-6 concentrations were significantly increased in all groups.
Conclusions: Cellular immunity was depressed at 2 hrs after simple hemorrhage and no further depression occurred if hemorrhage was coupled with trauma, pure crystalloid resuscitation was provided, or the shock period was prolonged. Thus, the early immunodepression after hemorrhage was mainly dependent on the severity rather than the duration of shock, resuscitation regimen, or tissue trauma.

Effect of acetate- and lactate-containing intravenous fluid on acid-base status, electrolytes and plasma lactate concentration in dehydrated cats.

Objectives: Acetate (ACE) and lactate (LAC)-containing balanced resuscitation fluids are commonly used for fluid therapy in cats. These fluids can influence acid-base and electrolyte status. This prospective randomised study compared two balanced crystalloid solutions regarding their effect on acid-base status, electrolytes and LAC concentrations in dehydrated cats after intravenous fluid therapy.

Background: Bleeding guidelines currently recommend use of viscoelastic testing (VET) to direct haemostatic resuscitation in severe haemorrhage. However, VET-derived parameters of clot initiation, such as clotting time (CT) and activated clotting time (ACT), might not adequately reflect a clinically relevant interaction of procoagulant and anticoagulant activity, as revealed by thrombin generation assays. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of CT and ACT to indicate thrombin generation activity.

Background: Intravenous albumin is used for resuscitation and substitution but is not supported by high-certainty evidence. As clinical practice likely varies, we aimed to describe the issuing of albumin solutions across Danish public hospitals.
Methods: We assessed issuing of intravenous albumin solutions (5% and 20%) to all Danish public hospitals in 2022.

Background: Excess fluid in the interstitium can adversely affect the microcirculation. We studied how gradual dilution of the blood plasma by crystalloid fluid influences microcirculatory variables and capillary filtration in 20 patients undergoing surgery.
Methods: Video recordings of the sublingual mucosal were made on four occasions during the surgery and compared with quasi-measurements of the capillary filtration rate using retrospective volume kinetic data collected over 5-10-minute periods during 262 infusion experiments with crystalloid fluid.
Until the beginning of the century, bleeding management was similar in elective surgeries or exsanguination scenarios: clotting tests were used to guide blood product orders and, while awaiting these results, an aggressive resuscitation with crystalloids was recommended. The high mortality rate in severe hemorrhages managed with this strategy endorsed the need for a special resuscitation plan. As a result, modifications were recommended to develop a new clinical approach to these patients, called "Damage Control Resuscitation".
