  Background Intraosseous cannulation can be life-saving when intravenous access cannot be readily achieved. However, it has been shown that the procedure may cause fat emboli to the lungs and brain. Fat embolization may cause serious respiratory failure and fat embolism syndrome. We investigated whether intraosseous fluid resuscitation in pigs in hemorrhagic shock caused pulmonary or systemic embolization to the heart, brain, or kidneys and if this was enhanced by open chest conditions. Methods We induced hemorrhagic shock in anesthetized pigs followed by fluid-resuscitation through bilaterally placed tibial (hind leg) intraosseous cannulas. The fluid-resuscitation was limited to intraosseous or i.v. fluid therapy, and did not involve cardiopulmonary resuscitation or other interventions. A subgroup underwent median sternotomy with pericardiectomy and pleurotomy before hemorrhagic shock was induced. We used invasive hemodynamic and respiratory monitoring including Swan Ganz pulmonary artery catheter and transesophageal echocardiography and obtained biopsies from the lungs, heart, brain, and left kidney postmortem. Results All pigs exposed to intraosseous infusion had pulmonary fat emboli in postmortem biopsies. Additionally, seven of twenty-one pigs had coronary fat emboli. None of the pigs with open chest had fat emboli in postmortem lung, heart, or kidney biopsies. During intraosseous fluid-resuscitation, three pigs developed significant ST-elevations on ECG; all of these animals had coronary fat emboli on postmortem biopsies. Conclusions Systemic fat embolism occurred in the form of coronary fat emboli in a third of the animals who underwent intraosseous fluid resuscitation. Open chest conditions did not increase the incidence of systemic fat embolization.

  Cytokines are potentially useful biomarkers of sepsis and other inflammatory conditions. Many cytokines can be released by leukocytes and platelets after sampling. The sampling and processing techniques are consequently critically important to measure the in vivo levels. We therefore examined the effects of four different anticoagulants, EDTA, citrate, lepirudin, heparin compared to serum, on the levels of 27 different cytokines. The effects of storage temperature, freezing and thawing on the plasma cytokines were examined. Cytokines were analysed using a multiplex immunoassay. The cytokine levels in serum were significantly higher compared with plasma, consistent with release of cytokines in vitro during coagulation. In general, the lowest values for all cytokines were found in EDTA samples, stored on crushed ice, centrifuged within 4 h and thereafter stored at −80 °C. MCP-1 and MIP-1β levels were highest in heparin plasma and storage of blood for up to 4 h at room temperature significantly increased the interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-8, IFN-γ and GM-CSF levels in EDTA plasma, indicating post-sampling release. In contrast, the IP-10 levels were unaffected by sample storage at both temperatures. Our results indicate that the cytokines were more stable in plasma than in whole blood after sampling. Thus, cytokines should be analysed in EDTA plasma samples stored on ice and centrifuged within 4 h. Based on these data, the reference ranges of 27 cytokines in EDTA plasma in 162 healthy human donors were calculated.

  Fulminant meningococcal sepsis is characterized by a massive growth of bacteria in the circulation, regarded as the primary inflammatory site, with no specific solid organ focus. Here we aimed to study the local inflammatory response in organs using a porcine model of fulminant meningococcal septic shock challenged with exponentially increasing doses of heat inactivated Neisseria meningitidis. The results were compared with those obtained in organs post mortem from three patients with lethal meningococcal septic shock. Nine patients with lethal pneumococcal disease and 14 patients with sudden infant death syndrome served as controls. Frozen tissue were thawed, homogenized and prepared for quantification of bacterial DNA by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and key inflammatory mediators were measured by ELISA in the pig material and by multiplex in the human material. In addition, gene expression assayed by Affymetrix gene expression profiling was performed in the pig study. The porcine model revealed a major influx of N. meningitidis in lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys accompanied with major production of cardinal inflammatory mediators including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1[beta], IL-6, and IL-8, far exceeding the amount detected in blood. Genes encoding for these mediators revealed a similar profile. By comparing the wild-type with a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) deficient meningococcal strain, we documented that LPS was the dominant group of molecules inducing organ inflammation and was required for IL-8 production. IL-10 production was predominantly stimulated by non-LPS molecules. The massive organ inflammation in the porcine model was present in the three patients dying of meningococcal shock and differed markedly from the patients with lethal pneumococcal infections and sudden infant death syndrome. In conclusion, in meningococcal sepsis, a massive local inflammatory response occurs in specific organs.

  The complement and TLR systems are activated in sepsis, contributing to an unfavorable inflammatory “storm.” Combined inhibition of these systems has been documented to efficiently attenuate the inflammatory responses induced by Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we hypothesized that the combined inhibition would attenuate the inflammatory responses induced by Gram-positive bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (strains Cowan and Wood), as well as S. aureus cell wall lipoteichoic acid (LTA), were incubated in thrombin-inhibited human whole blood. Complement was inhibited at the level of C3 and C5, and the TLRs by inhibiting CD14 and TLR2. Thirty-four inflammatory markers were measured by multiplex technology and flow cytometry. Thirteen markers increased significantly in response to Cowan and Wood, and 12 in response to LTA. Combined inhibition with the C3 inhibitor compstatin and the anti-CD14 Ab 18D11 significantly reduced 92 (Cowan, LTA) and 85% (Wood) of these markers. Compstatin alone significantly reduced 54 (Cowan), 38 (Wood), and 83% (LTA), whereas anti-CD14 alone significantly reduced 23, 15, and 67%, respectively. Further experiments showed that the effects of complement inhibition were mainly due to inhibition of C5a interaction with the C5a receptor. The effects on inhibiting CD14 and TLR2 were similar. The combined regimen was more efficient toward the bacterial effects than either complement or anti-CD14 inhibition alone. Complement was responsible for activation of and phagocytosis by both granulocytes and monocytes. Disrupting upstream recognition by inhibiting complement and CD14 efficiently attenuated S. aureus–induced inflammation and might be a promising treatment in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive sepsis.

  Intramuscular uptake of tranexamic acid during haemorrhagic shock in a swine model Bakke H.1,2, Fauskevåg O.M. 3, Nielsen E.W. 4,5,6,7, Dietrichs E.S. 8,9 1University Hospital of North Norway, Department of anaesthesia and critical care, Tromsø, Norway 2University Hospital of North Norway, Department of Traumatology, Tromsø, Norway 3University Hospital of North Norway, Division of Diagnostic Services, Tromsø, Norway 4Nordland Hospital, Bodø, Department of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, Bodø, Norway 5Univerity Nord, Bodø, Norway 6University of Oslo , Department of Immunology, Oslo, Norway 7University of Tromsø, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Norway, Norway 8University of Tromsø, Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, Tromsø, Norway 9University Hospital of North Norway, Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Tromsø, Norway Introduction: Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to reduce mortality in bleeding trauma patients, with greater effect if administered early. Normally administered intravenously, TXA can also be administered intramuscularly, which could be advantageous in low resource and military settings. Intramuscular use has only been tested in healthy patients, and it is likely that shock will reduce intramuscular uptake. Material & Methods: In a prospective experimental study Norwegian landrace pigs (40-50kg)utilised in a surgical course in haemostatic emergency surgery were subjected to various abdominal and thoracic trauma. After 1 hour of surgery the pigs were injected with 15 mg/kg TXA either intravenously or intramuscularly. Blood samples were drawn at 0, 5, 15, 25, 35 ,45, 60 and 80 minutes. The samples were centrifuged and analysed with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Results: Preliminary results from 3 animals in the intramuscular and 2 animals in the intravenous group. Mean plasma concentration with SD of TXA as a function of time is shown in figure 1. Plasma concentration in the intramuscular group was near 10 ug/mL 15 minutes after administration, and rose above 14 ug/mL after 60 minutes. Conclusions: Plasma concentrations reported to inhibit fibrinolysis in vitro is 10 – 17.5 ug/ml (1,2). If this extrapolates to the clinical situation intramuscular administration would yield plasma levels within the lower end of therapeutic range after 15 minutes.In ongoing haemorrhagic shock plasma concentrations of TXA after intramuscular administration were considerably lower than after intravenous administration, but within therapeutic range .
