Abstract
Development of an anastomotic leak (AL) following intestinal surgery for the treatment of colorectal cancers is a life-threatening complication. Failure of the anastomosis to heal correctly can lead to contamination of the abdomen with intestinal contents and the development of peritonitis. The additional care that these patients require is associated with longer hospitalisation stays and increased economic costs. Patients also have higher morbidity and mortality rates and poorer oncological prognosis. Unfortunately, current practices for AL diagnosis are non-specific, which may delay diagnosis and have a negative impact on patient outcome. To overcome these issues, research is continuing to identify AL diagnostic or predictive biomarkers. In this review, we highlight promising candidate biomarkers including ischaemic metabolites, inflammatory markers and bacteria. Although research has focused on the use of blood or peritoneal fluid samples, we describe the use of implantable medical devices that have been designed to measure biomarkers in peri-anastomotic tissue. Biomarkers that can be used in conjunction with clinical status, routine haematological and biochemical analysis and imaging have the potential to help to deliver a precision medicine package that could significantly enhance a patient's post-operative care and improve outcomes. Although no AL biomarker has yet been validated in large-scale clinical trials, there is confidence that personalised medicine, through biomarker analysis, could be realised for colorectal cancer intestinal resection and anastomosis patients in the years to come.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Intraperitoneal microdialysis was recently described as a method for early detection of visceral ischemia. The method seems safe and accurate. The intra-abdominal catheter used may imply variations in results depending on the location of the catheter. The aim of the study was to investigate possible differences in metabolic parameters obtained depending on various locations of the intra-abdominal catheter, compared with using the subcutaneous reference catheter. METHOD After right-sided hemicolectomy in 12 patients, three catheters were placed and fixed intraperitoneally: one at the anastomosis, one in the omentum and one embedded between the small intestinal loops. A subcutaneous catheter placed in the pectoral region was used as reference. Analyses of lactate/pyruvate ratio and glucose and glycerol levels were done during a period of 45 hours postoperatively. RESULTS Lactate/pyruvate ratio decreased numerically at all three intraperitoneal locations during the study while the subcutaneous lactate/pyruvate ratio increased slightly. Significant differences between intraperitoneal and subcutaneous locations were found as well as differences between the three intraperitoneal locations. Highest values of the lactate/pyruvate ratio were found at the anastomosis, while the widest range was found at the small intestine. Subcutaneous glucose levels were lower while glycerol levels were higher compared with intraperitoneal values. CONCLUSIONS In evaluating postoperative metabolism, intraperitoneal microdialysis is influenced by the location of the microdialysis catheter. The same pattern is, however, recorded over time. The juxta-anastomotic region and the small intestinal loop area seem to be the most reasonable locations for measurements.

Abstract
PURPOSE Anastomotic leak (AL) in colorectal surgery leads to significant morbidity, mortality and poorer oncological outcomes. Diagnosis of AL is frequently delayed as current methods of detection are not 100% sensitive or specific. 'Biomarkers', such as cytokines and markers of ischaemia, from the milieu of the anastomosis may aid early detection. This paper aims to review the evidence for their role in AL detection, allowing identification of targets for future research. METHODS A systematic review was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases. Papers concerning detection or prediction of AL with biomarkers were identified. References within the papers were used to identify further relevant articles. RESULTS Research has taken place in small cohorts with varying definitions of AL. Lactate has consistently been shown to be elevated in patients with intra-abdominal complications and ALs. pH on post-operative day 3 showed excellent specificity. Despite mixed results, a meta-analysis found that the cytokines tumour necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 were elevated early in AL. Detection of bacteria in drain fluid by RT-PCR has good specificity but a high rate of false positives. CONCLUSIONS Peritoneal cytokines, lactate and pH have the potential to identify AL early. The consistency of the results for lactate and pH, alongside the fact that they are easy, quick and inexpensive to test, makes them the most attractive targets. Studies in larger cohorts with standardized definitions of AL are required to clarify their usefulness. Emerging biosensor technology may facilitate the development of small, low-cost and degradable intra-abdominal devices to measure peritoneal fluid biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) after gastroesophageal resection for cancer is a serious complication. The aim was to evaluate mediastinal microdialysis in the detection of AL before clinical symptoms. METHODS Sixty patients were included. Samples were collected every 4 hours in the 1st 8 postoperative days and analyzed for several metabolites. RESULTS Forty-four patients had an uncomplicated postoperative recovery, 7 developed anastomotic-related complications, and 5 developed major nonanastomotic-related complications. Six patients were excluded (early catheter malfunction and reoperation). Logistic regression model on several metabolites demonstrated a 100% sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values regarding the diagnosis of anastomotic complications within postoperative day 7. However, as independent markers, none of the measured metabolites were able to predict AL. CONCLUSION The diagnosis of anastomotic-related complications before clinical symptoms seemed possible by mediastinal microdialysis, but the diagnosis should be based on an interpretation of several metabolic events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neonates undergoing congenital heart surgery frequently need post-operative inotropic support. Knowledge about the effect of inotropes on myocardial metabolism in the newborn heart is limited, and the choice of inotropic therapy is based mainly on evidence from studies in adults. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of three inotropic strategies on the myocardial metabolism in a neonatal pig model. METHODS Newborn piglets were randomised to intravenous infusions with: adrenaline and milrinone; dopamine and milrinone; dobutamine in haemodynamically equivalent doses; or isotonic saline, through 3 h. Microdialysis catheters were inserted in the myocardium of the left and right ventricle, and concentrations of lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, and glucose were measured in the microdialysate. In myocardial biopsies, tissue lactate and intracellular glycogen concentrations were determined, and arterial blood samples were analysed for lactate and glucose. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were observed in haemodynamics between the three interventions. Metabolic variables demonstrated a consistent increase in lactate concentration in blood, myocardial dialysate, and biopsies in milrinone-adrenaline-treated animals. The lactate concentration remained stable in all other groups in all samples. The myocardial lactate/pyruvate ratio did not increase and was not significantly different between groups. CONCLUSION Milrinone and adrenaline induced significantly higher lactate levels in neonatal piglets. The increase was not caused by myocardial ischaemia, but rather due to a beta-stimulation-induced glycolysis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate microdialysis of the rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) for early detection of subclinical organ dysfunction in a porcine model of critical intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Microdialysis catheters for analyses of lactate, pyruvate, and glycerol levels were placed in cervical muscles (control), gastric and jejunal wall, liver, kidney, and RAM of 30 anesthetized mechanically ventilated pigs. Catheters for venous lactate and interleukin 6 samples were placed in the jugular, portal, and femoral vein. Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was increased to 20 mmHg (IAH20 group, n = 10) and 30 mmHg (IAH30, n = 10) for 6 h by controlled CO2 insufflation, whereas sham animals (n = 10) exhibited a physiological IAP. In contrast to 20 mmHg, an IAH of 30 mmHg induced pathophysiological alterations consistent with an abdominal compartment syndrome. Microdialysis showed significant increase in the lactate/pyruvate ratio in the RAM of the IAH20 group after 6 h. In the IAH30 group, the strongest increase in lactate/pyruvate ratio was detected in the RAM and less pronounced in the liver and gastric wall. Glycerol increased in the RAM only. After 6 h, there was a significant increase in venous interleukin 6 of the IAH30 group compared with baseline. Venous lactate was increased compared with baseline and shams in the femoral vein of the IAH30 group only. Intra-abdominal pressure-induced ischemic metabolic changes are detected more rapidly and pronounced by microdialysis of the RAM when compared with intra-abdominal organs. Thus, the RAM represents an important and easily accessible site for the early detection of subclinical organ dysfunction during critical IAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication leading to severe infection, sepsis and sometimes death. At present the diagnosis is made clinically, usually at 6-8 days after surgery. An objective biomarker reflecting the intra-abdominal milieu surrounding the anastomosis would be a useful additional diagnostic tool to make the diagnosis of AL before its clinical presentation. This review aims to assess the current status of the search for such a biomarker in peritoneal fluid. METHOD A literature search was carried out, using MEDLINE, PubMed and the Cochrane library, for all publications concerning human peritoneal fluid in relation to postoperative complications in general, and, more specific, anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery. RESULTS Analysis of several immune parameters, tissue repair parameters, parameters for ischaemia and microbiological composition of peritoneal fluid show that these can be determined reliably in the fluid, albeit with a large variance. Furthermore the data show that changes in concentration of these parameters precede AL and other postoperative complications by several days. CONCLUSION The results of the review demonstrate that it is possible to distinguish between patients with and without AL by measuring biomarkers in fluid from the peritoneal drain. Prospective studies with larger numbers of patients should, however, be performed and additional biomarkers should be studied to explore the full diagnostic potential of this approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether microdialysis is capable of assessing metabolic derangements during intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), and whether monitoring of the rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) by microdialysis represents a reliable approach in the early detection of organ dysfunctions in abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled animal study. SETTING University animal research facility. SUBJECTS Fifteen isoflurane-anesthetized and mechanically ventilated Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS IAH of 20 mmHg was induced for 3 h and followed by decompression and reperfusion for another 3-h period (n = 10). Five sham-operated animals served as controls. Microdialysis was performed in the anterior gastric wall, liver, kidney, and RAM. The anterior cervical muscles served as distant reference. Glucose, lactate, pyruvate, and glycerol was analyzed throughout the 6-h experiment. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Prolonged IAH induced significant cardiopulmonary dysfunction and persistent abdominal organ injury. Microdialysis revealed a significant increase of lactate/pyruvate and glycerol in kidney, intestine and liver, indicating ischemia, energy failure, and cell membrane damage. In addition, at 3 h IAH glucose was significantly decreased in all organs studied. The distant reference did not show any alteration of lactate/pyruvate, glycerol, and glucose over the entire 6-h observation period. In contrast to the other organs, microdialysis of the RAM showed an early and more pronounced increase of lactate, lactate/pyruvate and glycerol already at 1 h IAH. It is noteworthy that lactate, glycerol, and glucose did not completely recover upon decompression of IAH. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that continuous microdialysis in the RAM may represent a promising tool for early detecting IAH-induced metabolic derangements.

Abstract
By performing microdialysis in the peritoneal cavity, we studied the pharmacokinetics of Tramadol in awake, freely moving small laboratory animals. The systemic exposure to Tramadol was determined using both microdialysis sampling and collection of whole blood following a single intravenous injection (10 mg/kg) or a single oral dose (100 mg/kg) of Tramadol HCl. The sampling frequency of the dialysate was 10 min (mouse study) or 20 min (rat study). In rats and in mice, intraperitoneal microdialysis sampling gets reliable pharmacokinetic results without taking blood. The concentration-time curves obtained from peritoneal microdialysis were parallel to the concentration-time curves obtained from classical blood sampling. Accordingly, dose independent pharmacokinetic parameters were similar. A scaling factor, however, has to be introduced (e.g. peritoneal versus plasma AUC ratio) in order to obtain comparable pharmacokinetic results also with dose-dependent parameters. As there was no blood loss during the experiment, peritoneal microdialysis allowed the investigation of complete concentration-time curve profiles. Thus, the number of animals could be kept to a minimum. In conclusion, in vivo peritoneal microdialysis is a unique tool to obtain a complete set of free drug concentrations to determine reliable pharmacokinetic parameters from awake, freely moving rodents. Therefore, we suppose that the technique will have relevance for pharmacokinetic studies in future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Measuring peritoneal lactate concentrations could be useful for detecting splanchnic hypoperfusion. The aims of this study were to evaluate the properties of a new membrane-based microdialyzer in vitro and to assess the ability of the dialyzer to detect a clinically relevant decrease in splanchnic blood flow in vivo. DESIGN A membrane-based microdialyzer was first validated in vitro. The same device was tested afterward in a randomized, controlled animal experiment. SETTING University experimental research laboratory. SUBJECTS Twenty-four Landrace pigs of both genders. INTERVENTIONS In vitro: Membrane microdialyzers were kept in warmed sodium lactate baths with lactate concentrations between 2 and 8 mmol/L for 10-120 mins, and microdialysis lactate concentrations were measured repeatedly (210 measurements). In vivo: An extracorporeal shunt with blood reservoir and roller pump was inserted between the proximal and distal abdominal aorta, and a microdialyzer was inserted intraperitoneally. In 12 animals, total splanchnic blood flow (measured by transit time ultrasound) was reduced by a median 43% (range, 13% to 72%) by activating the shunt; 12 animals served as controls. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS In vitro: The fractional lactate recovery was 0.59 (0.32-0.83) after 60 mins and 0.82 (0.71-0.87) after 90 mins, with no further increase thereafter. At 60 and 90 mins, the fractional recovery was independent of the lactate concentration. In vivo: Abdominal blood flow reduction resulted in an increase in peritoneal microdialysis lactate concentration from 1.7 (0.3-3.8) mmol/L to 2.8 (1.3-6.2) mmol/L (p = .006). At the same time, mesenteric venous-arterial lactate gradient increased from 0.1 (-0.2-0.8) mmol/L to 0.3 (-0.3 -1.8) mmol/L (p = .032), and mesenteric venous-arterial Pco2 gradients increased from 12 (8-19) torr to 21 (11-54) torr (p = .005). CONCLUSIONS Peritoneal membrane microdialysis provides a method for the assessment of splanchnic ischemia, with potential for clinical application.

Abstract
Assessment of the intestinal circulation in a clinical setting still presents a significant diagnostic challenge. In patients suspected of having intestinal ischemia pre- or postoperatively, there is no clinically relevant marker which can determine whether the bowel is suffering from lack of oxygen or not. Microdialysis is a microinvasive technique that makes it possible to continuously detect tissue-specific metabolic changes. Recently, it has been demonstrated that intestinal ischemia can be detected and monitored continuously by the use of a microdialysis catheter placed in the proximity of the ischemic bowel. This review summarizes the clinical dilemma of intestinal ischemia and the latest experimental results using the microdialysis technique to detect critical perfusion in the small intestine. The possibility of using microdialysis in a clinical setting is outlined with the perspective of using it as a pre- or postoperative monitoring tool in relevant patients.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to extend the use of microdialysis to the investigation of antibiotic distribution into the intraperitoneal fluid of rats with or without peritonitis. Microdialysis probes were inserted into the jugular vein and peritoneal cavity of control rats or rats with intra-abdominal sepsis (n = 8 in each group) induced by cecal ligation and punctures. Imipenem (IPM) probe recoveries were determined in each rat by retrodialysis by drug. IPM was infused intravenously at a dose of 30 mg . kg(-1) over 30 min, microdialysis samples were collected for 120 min, and IPM concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Intraperitoneal infection had no statistically significant effect on IPM clearance (11.9 +/- 2.3 ml.min(-1).kg(-1) in control rats versus 10.9 +/- 2.1 ml.min(-1).kg(-1) in rats with peritonitis) or the volume of distribution (296 +/- 47 ml.kg(-1) in control rats versus 310 +/- 49 ml.kg(-1) in rats with peritonitis). IPM concentration profiles in intraperitoneal fluid and blood were virtually superimposed in control rats, whereas in infected animals, the mean intraperitoneal IPM concentrations were apparently slightly lower than corresponding blood levels. However, the areas under the concentration-versus-time curve estimated in intraperitoneal fluid and blood were not significantly different in both groups, with the corresponding ratios close to unity (1.01 +/- 0.19 and 0.89 +/- 0.28 in control rats and rats with peritonitis, respectively). In conclusion, IPM distribution in intraperitoneal fluid is rapid and complete both in control rats and in rats with peritonitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vasopressin is a potent vasopressor in septic shock, but it may impair splanchnic perfusion. We compared the effects of vasopressin alone and in combination with dobutamine on systemic and splanchnic circulation and metabolism in porcine endotoxin shock. METHODS Twelve pigs were randomized to receive either vasopressin (VASO, n = 6) or vasopressin in combination with dobutamine (DOBU, n = 6) during endotoxin shock (E. coli endotoxin infusion). Endotoxin infusion rate was increased to induce hypotension after which vasoactive drugs were started. We aimed to keep systemic mean arterial pressure (MAP) >70 mmHg by vasopressin; the goal of dobutamine infusion was to prevent decrease in cardiac output often associated with vasopressin infusion. Regional blood flows, oxygen delivery and consumption, arterial and regional lactate concentrations were measured. RESULTS Mean arterial pressure >70 mmHg was achieved in both the VASO and DOBU groups. After the primary decrease of cardiac output by vasopressin, systemic blood flow remained stable in vasopressin-treated animals. However, vasopressin as a monotherapy decreased portal venous blood flow. This was prevented by dobutamine. Vasopressin also induced splanchnic lactate release and arterial hyperlactatemia, which were not observed when dobutamine was combined with vasopressin. CONCLUSION Dobutamine prevents adverse hemodynamic and metabolic effects of vasopressin in septic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim was to investigate the possibility of using intraluminal or intraperitoneal microdialysis to monitor regional intestinal ischaemia. METHODS Microdialysis catheters were inserted in the lumen, in and outside the intestinal wall, and in the peritoneum of each of ten pigs. Regional occlusive ischaemia was induced in 100 cm of jejunum. Levels of glucose, pyruvate, lactate and glycerol in the microdialysate were measured at 20-min intervals before and after induction of ischaemia. Systemic haemodynamics were monitored and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) recordings made in each of the intestinal segments. RESULTS Ischaemia caused a significant decrease in glucose level, and an increase in lactate and glycerol concentrations and lactate/pyruvate ratio, at all catheters, although glucose could not be detected by the intraluminal catheter. The metabolic changes occurred simultaneously and were statistically significant in almost all catheters after 100 min. LDF revealed a significant decrease in intestinal blood flow, but there was considerable individual variation. CONCLUSION Regional occlusive ischaemia in 100 cm of small intestine could be detected and monitored by means of a microdialysis catheter placed in the peritoneal cavity or the bowel lumen.

Abstract
Microdialysis is a technique used to measure the concentrations of various compounds in the extracellular fluid of an organ or in a body fluid. It is a form of metabolic monitoring that provides real-time, continuous information on pathophysiological processes in target organs. It was introduced in the early 1970s, mainly to measure concentrations of neurotransmitters in animal experiments and clinical settings. Using commercial equipment it is now possible to conduct analyses at the bedside by collecting interstitial fluid for measurement of carbohydrate and lipid metabolites. Important research has been reported in the field of neurosurgery in recent decades, but use of metabolic monitoring in critical care medicine is not yet routine. The present review provides an overview of findings from clinical studies using microdialysis in critical care medicine, focusing on possible indications for clinical biochemical monitoring. An important message from the review is that sequential and tissue-specific metabolic monitoring, in vivo, is now available.

Abstract
The splanchnic area is of considerable interest in different types of shock. To characterize the metabolic changes in the splanchnic region in response to different types of shock we used a model where shock-induced metabolic changes in the splanchnic region were studied by the use of intravasal microdialysis. 23 anesthetized domestic pigs were randomized into four groups: Group I, serving as controls (n = 5); Group II, mesenteric ischemia for 180 followed by 120 min of reperfusion (n = 5); Group III, endotoxin shock for 5 h (n = 5); and Group IV, hemorrhagic shock for 180 min followed by re-transfusion of shed blood (n = 8). Microdialysis catheters were placed in the left femoral artery, portal vein and a small ileal mesenteric vein. Samples of the perfusate were continuously collected in micro-vials and analyzed for glucose, lactate, pyruvate and glycerol. In gut ischemia and endotoxin shock the outflow-pattern of lactate, lactate/pyruvate ratio and glucose in the mesenteric vein differed significantly from controls and hemorrhage whereas an increase in glycerol was only noted in the ischemic group. The most prominent differences were detected in lactate/pyruvate ratio, a marker of tissue ischemia with the most pronounced changes during mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion. During endotoxin shock increases in microdialysate metabolites were only noted in the splanchnic region suggesting a specific vulnerability in the region. Studying the lactate/pyruvate ratio may provide additional information when interpreting increased blood lactate levels. In addition glycerol may prove to be a useful marker of splanchnic ischemia. Intravasal microdialysis represents a potentially useful method for monitoring regional metabolic events.
