[PMID: 33140905 PMCID: PMC7694813 DOI: 10.1111/jvim.15956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Revised: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To investigate the acid‐base status of sick goats using the simplified strong ion difference (sSID) approach, to establish the quantitative contribution of sSID variables to changes in blood pH and HCO3− and to determine whether clinical, acid‐base, and biochemical variables on admission are associated with the mortality of sick goats. Animals One hundred forty‐three sick goats. Methods Retrospective study. Calculated sSID variables included SID using 6 electrolytes unmeasured strong ions (USI) and the total nonvolatile buffer ion concentration in plasma (Atot). The relationship between measured blood pH and HCO3−, and the sSID variables was examined using forward stepwise linear regression. Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to assess associations between potential predictor variables and mortality of goats during hospitalization. Results Hypocapnia, hypokalemia, hyperchloremia, hyperlactatemia, and hyperproteinemia were common abnormalities identified in sick goats. Respiratory alkalosis, strong ion acidosis, and Atot acidosis were acid‐base disorders frequently encountered in sick goats. In sick goats, the sSID variables explained 97% and 100% of the changes in blood pH and HCO3−, respectively. The results indicated that changes in the respiratory rate (<16 respirations per minute), USI, and pH at admission were associated with increased hazard of hospital mortality in sick goats. Conclusions and Clinical Importance The sSID approach is a useful methodology to quantify acid‐base disorders in goats and to determine the mechanisms of their development. Clinicians should consider calculation of USI in sick goats as part of the battery of information required to establish prognosis.

J Vet Intern Med 2020; 34:2758-2766. [PMID: 32965055 PMCID: PMC7694849 DOI: 10.1111/jvim.15889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of different analyzers to measure electrolytes in the same horse can lead to different interpretation of acid-base balance when using the simplified strong ion difference (sSID) approach. OBJECTIVE Investigate the level of agreement between 2 analyzers in determining electrolytes concentrations, sSID variables, and acid-base disorders in sick horses. ANIMALS One hundred twenty-four hospitalized horses. METHODS Retrospective study using paired samples. Electrolytes were measured using a Beckman Coulter AU480 Chemistry analyzer (PBMA) and a Nova Biomedical Stat Profile (WBGA), respectively. Calculated sSID variables included strong ion difference, SID4 ; unmeasured strong ions, USI; and total nonvolatile buffer ion concentration in plasma (Atot ). Agreement between analyzers was explored using Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman analysis. Kappa (κ) test evaluated the level of agreement between analyzers in detecting acid-base disorders. RESULTS Methodologic differences were identified in measured Na+ and Cl- and calculated values of SID4 and USI. Mean bias (95% limits of agreement) for Na+ , Cl- , SID4 , and USI were: -1.2 mmol/L (-9.2 to 6.8), 4.4 mmol/L (-4.4 to 13), -5.4 mmol/L (-13 to 2), and -6.2 mmol/L (-14 to 1.7), respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient for SID4 and USI was .55 (95%CI: -0.2 to 0.8) and .2 (95%CI: -0.15 to 0.48), respectively. There was a poor agreement between analyzers for detection of SID4 (κ = 0.20, 95%CI, 0.1 to 0.31) or USI abnormalities (κ = -0.04, 95%CI, -0.11 to 0.02). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Differences between analyzer methodology in measuring electrolytes led to a poor agreement between the diagnosis of acid-base disorders in sick horses when using the sSID approach.

Abstract
Purpose The traditional approach and the Stewart approach have been developed for evaluating acid-base phenomena. While some experts have suggested that the two approaches are essentially identical, clinical researches have still been conducted on the superiority of one approach over the other one. In this review, we summarize the concepts of each approach and investigate the reasons of the discrepancy, based on current evidence from the literature search. Methods In the literature search, we completed a database search and reviewed articles comparing the Stewart approach with the traditional, bicarbonate-centered approach to November 2016. Results Our literature review included 17 relevant articles, 5 of which compared their diagnostic abilities, 9 articles compared their prognostic performances, and 3 articles compared both diagnostic abilities and prognostic performances. These articles show a discrepancy over the abilities to detect acid-base disturbances and to predict patients' outcomes. There are many limitations that could yield this discrepancy, including differences in calculation of the variables, technological differences or errors in measuring variables, incongruences of reference value, normal range of the variables, differences in studied populations, and confounders of prognostic strength such as lactate. Conclusion In conclusion, despite the proposed equivalence between the traditional approach and the Stewart approach, our literature search shows inconsistent results on the comparison between the two approaches for diagnostic and prognostic performance. We found crucial limitations in those studies, which could lead to the reasons of the discrepancy.

Abstract
Alongside the kidneys and lungs, the liver has been recognised as an important regulator of acid-base homeostasis. While respiratory alkalosis is the most common acid-base disorder in chronic liver disease, various complex metabolic acid-base disorders may occur with liver dysfunction. While the standard variables of acid-base equilibrium, such as pH and overall base excess, often fail to unmask the underlying cause of acid-base disorders, the physical-chemical acid-base model provides a more in-depth pathophysiological assessment for clinical judgement of acid-base disorders, in patients with liver diseases. Patients with stable chronic liver disease have several offsetting acidifying and alkalinising metabolic acid-base disorders. Hypoalbuminaemic alkalosis is counteracted by hyperchloraemic and dilutional acidosis, resulting in a normal overall base excess. When patients with liver cirrhosis become critically ill (e.g., because of sepsis or bleeding), this fragile equilibrium often tilts towards metabolic acidosis, which is attributed to lactic acidosis and acidosis due to a rise in unmeasured anions. Interestingly, even though patients with acute liver failure show significantly elevated lactate levels, often, no overt acid-base disorder can be found because of the offsetting hypoalbuminaemic alkalosis. In conclusion, patients with liver diseases may have multiple co-existing metabolic acid-base abnormalities. Thus, knowledge of the pathophysiological and diagnostic concepts of acid-base disturbances in patients with liver disease is critical for therapeutic decision making.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the clinical utility of lactate measured at different time points to predict mortality at 48 hours and 28 days in septic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Consecutive critically ill patients with septic AKI requiring CRRT were prospectively studied. Variables were collected at initiation of CRRT and 24 hours later.In total, 186 patients were analyzed. Overall mortality at 48 hours was 28% and at 28 days was 69%. Initial lactate, lactate at 24 hours and the proportion of patients with a lactate clearance superior to 10% were different between survivors at 28 days [2.0 mmol/L, 1.95 mmol/L and 18/45 (40%)] and nonsurvivors [3.46 mmol, 4.66 mmol, and 18/94 (19%)]. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that lactate at 24 hours and lactate clearance, but not initial lactate, were independently associated to mortality. Area under the ROC curves for 28-day mortality was 0.635 for initial lactate; 0.828 for lactate at 24 hours and 0.701 for lactate clearance.Lactate clearance and lactate after 24 hours of CRRT, but not initial lactate, were independently associated with mortality in septic AKI patients undergoing CRRT. Serial lactate measurements may be useful prognostic markers than initial lactate in these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Regional citrate anticoagulation has emerged as a promising method in critically ill patients at high risk of bleeding. However, in patients with liver failure, citrate accumulation may lead to acid-base and electrolyte imbalances, notably of calcium. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of regional citrate anticoagulation during liver support using a molecular adsorbent recirculating system as well as its effects on electrolyte and acid-base balance in patients with liver failure. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Twenty critically ill patients supported by molecular adsorbent recirculating system resulting from liver failure between January 2007 and May 2009. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The median duration of molecular adsorbent recirculating system treatment was 20 hrs (interquartile range, 18-22 hrs). Two of 77 molecular adsorbent recirculating system treatments (2%) were prematurely discontinued as a result of filter clotting and bleeding, respectively. The median citrate infusion rate, necessary to maintain the postfilter ionized calcium between 0.2 and 0.4 mmol/L, was 3.1 mmol/L (interquartile range, 2.3-4 mmol/L) blood flow. The median calcium chloride substitution rate was 0.9 mmol/L (0.3-1.7 mmol/L) dialysate. Total serum calcium remained stable during molecular adsorbent recirculating system treatments. There was a statistically significant increase of the ratio of total calcium to systemic ionized calcium (2.04 ± 0.32 mmol/L to 2.17 ± 0.35; p = .01), which reflected citrate accumulation resulting from liver failure. Under close monitoring, no clinically relevant electrolytes or acid-base disorders were observed. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that regional citrate anticoagulation is a safe and feasible method to maintain adequate circuit lifespan without increasing the risk of hemorrhagic complications while maintaining a normal acid-base as well as electrolyte balance in patients with liver failure supported by molecular adsorbent recirculating system.

Abstract
Background Clot strength by Thrombelastography (TEG) is associated with mortality during trauma and has been linked to severity of tissue hypoperfusion. However, the optimal method for monitoring this important relationship remains undefined. We hypothesize that oxygen transport measurements will be associated with clot strength during traumatic shock, and test this hypothesis using a swine model of controlled traumatic shock. Methods N = 33 swine were subjected to femur fracture and hemorrhagic shock by controlled arterial bleeding to a predetermined level of oxygen debt measured by continuous indirect calorimetry. Hemodynamics, oxygen consumption, systemic central venous oxygenation (ScvO2), base excess, lactate, and clot maximal amplitude by TEG (TEG-MA) as clot strength were measured at baseline and again when oxygen debt = 80 ml/kg during shock. Oxygen transport and metabolic markers of tissue perfusion were then evaluated for significant associations with TEG-MA. Forward stepwise selection was then used to create regression models identifying the strongest associations between oxygen transport and TEG-MA independent of other known determinants of clot strength. Results Multiple markers of tissue perfusion, oxygen transport, and TEG-MA were all significantly altered during shock compared to baseline measurements (p < 0.05). However, only ScvO2 demonstrated a strong bivariate association with TEG-MA measured during shock (R = 0.7, p < 0.001). ScvO2 measured during shock was also selected by forward stepwise selection as an important covariate in linear regression models of TEG-MA after adjusting for the covariates fibrinogen, pH, platelet count, and hematocrit (Whole model R2 = 0.99, p ≤ 0.032). Conclusions Among multiple measurements of oxygen transport, only ScvO2 was found to retain a significant association with TEG-MA during shock after adjusting for multiple covariates. ScvO2 should be further studied for its utility as a clinical marker of both tissue hypoxia and clot formation during traumatic shock.
