    Notes: Summary With different ENT disorders (e. g., sudden hearing loss, facial-nerve paralysis) 114 patients were pretreated with an i.v. injection of a 20 ml solution 15% of monovalent haptendextran (dextran 1, ¯Mw: 1000, Pharmacia AB, Sweden) 2 min prior to the first infusion of dextran 40 (dx40, Mw: 40,000). The mechanism of action of pretreatment with haptendextran is considered to consist in the neutralization of circulating dextran-reactive antibodies (DRA), which have been shown to be the cause of rare dextran-induced anaphylactic reactions (DIAR), sometimes with a fatal outcome. Out of the 114 patients no DIAR was observed. These results are part of a prospective multicenter study demonstrating the effectiveness of prophylaxis with 20 ml haptendextran in 24,513 patients. In the total study no fatal reaction with cardiac or respiratory arrest was observed. As the individual risk for a patient to suffer a DIAR from a dextran solution, can not be estimated in advance, the i.v. prophylaxis with 20 ml haptendextran is strongly recommended before each first infusion of a dextran solution. However, one should be aware that individuals with extremely high DRA-titers may still develop a mild anaphylaxis in spite of the routine pretreatment with 20 ml haptendextran; a high dose of 30 or 40 ml haptendextran would be necessary to prevent these reactions too.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Den günstigen Wirkungen von PEEP auf die Lungenfunktion stehen ausgeprägte hämodynamische Nebenwirkungen gegenüber, deren Ursachen vor allem in einer Verminderung des venösen Rückflusses bei erhöhtem intrathorakalem Druck sowie in einer Zunahme der rechtsventrikulären Nachlast aufgrund des erhöhten pulmonalen Gefäßwiderstandes zu sehen sind. PEEP führt zu einer Umverteilung des reduzierten Herzzeitvolumens zugunsten von Gehirn, Herz, Nebennieren und Darm, während die Durchblutung von Magen, Pankreas und Schilddrüse überproportional vermindert wird. Die Nierengesamtdurchblutung nimmt in der Regel nur geringfügig ab; eine Änderung der intrarenalen Hämodynamik bedingt jedoch eine Beeinträchtigung der Salz-Wasser-Ausscheidung. Die arterielle Durchblutung der Leber kann bei höheren Stufen von PEEP soweit reduziert werden, daß eine ausreichende O2-Versorgung nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Unter klinischen Bedingungen können individuell unterschiedliche Voraussetzungen die Änderungen von globaler und regionaler Hämodynamik im günstigen wie im ungünstigen Sinne modifizieren.
    Notes: Summary The benficial effects of PEEP on lung function may be counteracted by its hemodynamic sequenlae induced by a reduction of venous return due to the elevated intrathoracic pressure, and by an increased right ventricular afterload secondary to the rise of pulmonary vascular resistance. PEEP redistributes cardiac output in favor of brain, heart, adrenals and intestines, whereas the perfusion of stomach, pancreas and thyroid is diminished out of proportion to the fall of cardiac output. Total renal blood flow is relatively little affected; however, redistribution of intrarenal blood flow will result in a marked salt-water-retention. Reduction of hepatic artery flow, at higher levels of PEEP, may jeopardice liver tissue oxygenation. — Under clinical conditions, individual differences regarding preexisting cardiopulmonary and peripheral-vascular diseases may modify the PEEP-induced hemodynamic alterations in a wide range.

    Notes: Summary An animal model is described allowing for direct measurements of local tissue PO2, microhemodynamics and vascular density in the event of a prolongednon freezing cold injury. The model consists of implanting a transparent skin fold chamber in the dorsal skin fold in hamsters and of inserting two permanent indwelling catheters in jugular vein and carotid artery, respectively. The microcirculation was studied using a Wild Photomacroscope for photography and a platinum multiwire electrode for measurements of local PO2 in the conscious animal. After 72 h of recovery from anesthesia and surgery, the experiment was started with the animal immobilized. The decrease of local s.c. temperature was achieved by perfusing a heat exchanger with distilled H2O and Isopropanol 70% (1:1) at a rate of 8 l/min with the heat exchanger located directly beneath the aluminium frame of the chamber. With this technique, a decrease in local tissue temperature from 28°C to 15°C could be obtained within 15 min and was kept constant for 60 min. After photography of the microcirculation and local PO2-measurements, the local temperature was further reduced to 5°C within 15 min. Sixty minutes later, the area exposed was slowly rewarmed from a level of 5°C within 30 min. This procedure was repeated in intervals of 24 h over a period of five days. During the course of the experiments, local PO2 values shifted toward hypoxic or even anoxic values. Intravital microscopic observation revealed aggregate formation, stasis and obstruction of capillary flow associated with pronounced tissue anoxia after five cold exposures. This event resulted inevitably in tissue necrosis and scar formation after seven consecutive exposures to cold. It is concluded that this model can be used to study the effects of local non freezing cold injury in a precisely reproducible manner.

    Notes: Abstract In an experimental study including 10 dogs with intact lungs (group I) and 10 dogs with oleic acid-induced pulmonary edema (group II), the effects of PEEP 10 and 20 (cm H2O) on central hemodynamics, lung function, organ blood flow and tissue PO2 (liver and skeletal muscle) were examined. In both groups, PEEP resulted in a significant fall of cardiac output (CO) despite volume substitution. In group I, flow was redistributed favouring brain, heart, kidneys and adrenals, at the expense of stomach, pancreas and thyroid gland. Animals with pulmonary edema and consequently lower absolute values of CO showed a more uniform reduction of organ perfusion sparing only brain and heart. PEEP 10 led to a marginal improvement of tissue oxygenation, whereas PEEP 20 resulted in a deterioration of local PO2 associated with a decrease in O2 transport. It is concluded that whenever PEEP is applied, a reduction and redistribution of CO may occur possibly jeopardizing tissue oxygenation and thus interfering with organ function.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Diagnose „hyperdynamer septischer Schock” ist gesichert bei kleiner AVDO2, normalem oder erhöhtem Herzindex und einer Endotoxinaemie.Ergebnisse. Die Blutkulturen waren nur in 5/11 Patienten positiv. Der Endotoxintest hingegen war nur bei 1 Patienten negativ, hämodynamisch zeigte dieser Patient alle Schockkriterien.Diskussion. Trotz skeptischer Beurteilung besitzt der wiederholte Endotoxinnachweis i.S. beim septischen Schock einen hohen diagnostischen Stellenwert, da auch bei negativer Blutkultur die Patienten frühzeitig einer adäquaten Schocktherapie zugeführt werden können.
    Notes: Summary The diagnosis of hyperdynamic septic shock is proven by low AVDO2, normal or increased cardiac index, and endotoxemia.Results: The blood cultures were positive in 5 of 11 patients with septic shock, the endotoxin tests in 10 of 11. The one patient with negative endotoxin fulfilled all the hemodynamic criteria for septic shock.Conclusion: Although the value of the limulus-polymephus test for endotoxemia is controversial, we think that repeated sampling leads to the diagnosis of septic shock. Those patients with negative blood cultures might also be treated earlier.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An einem neuen Collateralenmodell (Hinterlauf des Hundes) wurden Collateralwiderstand, Muskeldurchblutung und Gewebesauerstoffdruck untersucht. Injektion von Buflomedil (Abbott, Ingelheim), Hämodilution mit Dextran-60 und lumbale Sympathektomie senkten den Collateralwiderstand und erhöhten die Muskeldurchblutung. Während jedoch bei Sympathektomie der distale Druck signifikant abfiel, ergab Hämodilution einen distalen Druckanstieg. Hämodilution ist demnach die einzige Methode, die in allen Verschlußstadien ohne nachteilige distale Drucksenkung anwendbar ist.
    Notes: Summary Changes in collateral resistance, calf-muscle blood flow, and local tissue oxygen tension were studied in a recently developed model in the canine hind leg. Injection of Buflomedil (Abbott, Ingelheim) and lumbar sympathectomy decreased collateral resistance and increased muscle blood flow in the presence of a significant fall in peripheral perfusion pressure. In contrast hemodilution (dextran-60) increased collateral flow in the presence of a slight increase in peripheral pressure. Thus hemodilution is the only method that increases calf muscle blood flow without decreasing distal blood pressure behind vessel occlusions.
