Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We investigated the effect of different doses of inhaled sevoflurane administered prior to CPB on cerebral oxygen supply and demand, and the incidence of associated early POCD. One hundred and twenty patients were randomly allocated into four treatment groups (n = 30, each) and administered a high- [1.5 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)], moderate- (1.0 MAC), low- (0.5 MAC), or no- sevoflurane dose prior to CPB. Standard blood gas parameters, serum S-100 protein, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were measured at different time points. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was administered 1 day before and 24 and 72 h after surgery. The jugular bulb venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) in the moderate- and high-dose groups at a nasopharyngeal temperature of 25-28 °C was significantly higher compared with the control group, while the arteriovenous oxygen content difference (AVDO2) and cerebral extraction of oxygen (CEO2) were significantly reduced. The serum S-100 protein and NSE concentrations of the moderate- and high-dose groups at 1 and 6 h after the cessation of CPB were significantly lower than that of the control group. The 24 h postoperative MMSE scores of the moderate- and high-dose groups were significantly higher than those of the low-dose and control groups. An inhaled optimal concentration of sevoflurane may be beneficial for cerebral oxygen balance during CPB, and may ameliorate cognitive damage. However, the effect is dose-dependent.

Abstract
Cerebral ischaemia plays a major role in the outcome of brain-injured patients. Because brain oxygenation can be assessed at bedside using intra-parenchymal devices, there has been a growing interest about whether therapeutic hyperoxia could be beneficial for severely head-injured patients. Normobaric hyperoxia increases brain oxygenation and may improve glucose-lactate metabolism in brain regions at risk for ischaemia. However, benefits of normobaric hyperoxia on neurological outcome are not established yet, that hinders the systematic use of therapeutic hyperoxia in head-injured patients. This therapeutic option might be proposed when brain ischemia persists despite the optimization of cerebral blood flow and arterial oxygen blood content.

Abstract
This study sought to investigate whether normobaric hyperoxia (NH) improves brain oxygenation and brain metabolism in the early phase of severe and moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) and whether this effect occurs uniformly in all TBI patients. Thirty patients (9 women and 21 men) with a median initial Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 6 (range, 3-12) were monitored using a brain microdialysis (MD) catheter with a brain tissue oxygen sensor (PtiO(2)) placed in the least-injured hemisphere. The inspired oxygen fraction was increased to 100% for 2 h. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1: patients with baseline brain lactate ≤3 mmol/L and Group 2: patients with baseline brain lactate >3 mmol/L, and therefore increased anaerobic metabolism in the brain. In Group 1, no significant changes in brain metabolic parameters were found after hyperoxic challenge, whereas a significant increase in glucose and a decrease in the lactate-pyruvate ratio (LPR) were found in Group 2. In this latter group of patients, brain glucose increased on average by 17.9% (95% CI, +9.2% to +26.6%, p<0.001) and LPR decreased by 11.6% (95% CI, -16.2% to -6.9%, p<0.001). The results of our study show that moderate and severe TBI may induce metabolic alterations in the brain, even in macroscopically normal brain tissue. We observed that NH increased PaO(2) and PtiO(2) and significantly decreased LPR in patients in whom baseline brain lactate levels were increased, suggesting that NH improved the brain redox state. In patients with normal baseline brain lactate levels, we did not find any significant changes in the metabolic variables after NH. This suggests that the baseline metabolic state should be taken into account when applying NH to patients with TBI. This maneuver may only be effective in a specific group of patients.

Abstract
The current practice of mechanical ventilation comprises the use of the least inspiratory O2 fraction associated with an arterial O2 tension of 55 to 80 mm Hg or an arterial hemoglobin O2 saturation of 88% to 95%. Early goal-directed therapy for septic shock, however, attempts to balance O2 delivery and demand by optimizing cardiac function and hemoglobin concentration, without making use of hyperoxia. Clearly, it has been well-established for more than a century that long-term exposure to pure O2 results in pulmonary and, under hyperbaric conditions, central nervous O2 toxicity. Nevertheless, several arguments support the use of ventilation with 100% O2 as a supportive measure during the first 12 to 24 hrs of septic shock. In contrast to patients without lung disease undergoing anesthesia, ventilation with 100% O2 does not worsen intrapulmonary shunt under conditions of hyperinflammation, particularly when low tidal volume-high positive end-expiratory pressure ventilation is used. In healthy volunteers and experimental animals, exposure to hyperoxia may cause pulmonary inflammation, enhanced oxidative stress, and tissue apoptosis. This, however, requires long-term exposure or injurious tidal volumes. In contrast, within the timeframe of a perioperative administration, direct O2 toxicity only plays a negligible role. Pure O2 ventilation induces peripheral vasoconstriction and thus may counteract shock-induced hypotension and reduce vasopressor requirements. Furthermore, in experimental animals, a redistribution of cardiac output toward the kidney and the hepato-splanchnic organs was observed. Hyperoxia not only reverses the anesthesia-related impairment of the host defense but also is an antibiotic. In fact, perioperative hyperoxia significantly reduced wound infections, and this effect was directly related to the tissue O2 tension. Therefore, we advocate mechanical ventilation with 100% O2 during the first 12 to 24 hrs of septic shock. However, controlled clinical trials are mandatory to test the safety and efficacy of this approach.

Abstract
OBJECT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with depressed aerobic metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction. Normobaric hyperoxia (NBH) has been suggested as a treatment for TBI, but studies in humans have produced equivocal results. In this study the authors used brain tissue O(2) tension measurement, cerebral microdialysis, and near-infrared spectroscopy to study the effects of NBH after TBI. They investigated the effects on cellular and mitochondrial redox states measured by the brain tissue lactate/pyruvate ratio (LPR) and the change in oxidized cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) concentration, respectively. METHODS The authors studied 8 adults with TBI within the first 48 hours postinjury. Inspired oxygen percentage at normobaric pressure was increased from baseline to 60% for 60 minutes and then to 100% for 60 minutes before being returned to baseline for 30 minutes. RESULTS The results are presented as the median with the interquartile range in parentheses. During the 100% inspired oxygen percentage phase, brain tissue O2 tension increased by 7.2 kPa (range 4.5-9.6 kPa) (p < 0.0001), microdialysate lactate concentration decreased by 0.26 mmol/L (range 0.0-0.45 mmol/L) (p = 0.01), microdialysate LPR decreased by 1.6 (range 1.0-2.3) (p = 0.02), and change in oxidized CCO concentration increased by 0.21 mumol/L (0.13-0.38 micromol/L) (p = 0.0003). There were no significant changes in intracranial pressure or arterial or microdialysate glucose concentration. The change in oxidized CCO concentration correlated with changes in brain tissue O(2) tension (r(s)= 0.57, p = 0.005) and in LPR (r(s)= -0.53, p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS The authors have demonstrated oxidation in cerebral cellular and mitochondrial redox states during NBH in adults with TBI. These findings are consistent with increased aerobic metabolism and suggest that NBH has the potential to improve outcome after TBI. Further studies are warranted.

Abstract
Aerobic life has evolved a dependence on molecular oxygen for its mere survival. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation absolutely requires oxygen to generate the currency of energy in aerobes. The physiologic homeostasis of these organisms is strictly maintained by optimal cellular and tissue-oxygenation status through complex oxygen-sensing mechanisms, signaling cascades, and transport processes. In the event of fluctuating oxygen levels leading to either an increase (hyperoxia) or decrease (hypoxia) in cellular oxygen, the organism faces a crisis involving depletion of energy reserves, altered cell-signaling cascades, oxidative reactions/events, and cell death or tissue damage. Molecular oxygen is activated by both nonenzymatic and enzymatic mechanisms into highly reactive oxygen species (ROS). Aerobes have evolved effective antioxidant defenses to counteract the reactivity of ROS. Although the ROS are also required for many normal physiologic functions of the aerobes, overwhelming production of ROS coupled with their insufficient scavenging by endogenous antioxidants will lead to detrimental oxidative stress. Needless to say, molecular oxygen is at the center of oxygenation, oxidative phosphorylation, and oxidative stress. This review focuses on the biology and pathophysiology of oxygen, with an emphasis on transport, sensing, and activation of oxygen, oxidative phosphorylation, oxygenation, oxidative stress, and oxygen therapy.

Abstract
OBJECT Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) has been shown to improve outcome after severe traumatic brain injury, but its underlying mechanisms are unknown. Following lateral fluid-percussion injury (FPI), the authors tested the effects of HBO2 treatment as well as enhanced normobaric oxygenation on mitochondrial function, as measured by both cognitive recovery and cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels. METHODS Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to moderate lateral FPI or sham injury and were allocated to one of four treatment groups: 1) FPI treated with 4 hours of normobaric 30% O2; 2) FPI treated with 4 hours of normobaric 100% O2; 3) FPI treated with 1 hour of HBO2 plus 3 hours of normobaric 100% O2; and 4) sham-injured treated with normobaric 30% O2. Cognitive outcome was assessed using the Morris water maze (MWM) on Days 11 to 15 after injury. Animals were then killed 21 days postinjury to assess hippocampal neuronal loss. Adenosine triphosphate was extracted from the neocortex and measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that injured animals treated with HBO2 or normobaric 100% O2 alone had significantly higher levels of cerebral ATP as compared with animals treated using normobaric 30% O2 (p < or = 0.05). The injured animals treated with HBO2 had significant improvements in cognitive recovery, as characterized by a shorter latency in MWM performance (p < or = 0.05), and decreased neuronal loss in the CA2/3 and hilar regions as compared with those treated with 30% or 100% O2, (p < or = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both hyperbaric and normobaric hyperoxia increased cerebral ATP levels after lateral FPI. In addition, HBO2 treatment improved cognitive recovery and reduced hippocampal neuronal cell loss after brain injury in the rat.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The intent of this manuscript is to summarize the pathophysiologic basis for hemodynamic manipulation in subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury, highlight the most recent literature and present expert opinion on indications and use. RECENT FINDINGS Hemodynamic augmentation with vasopressors and inotropes along with hypervolemia are the mainstay of treatment of vasospasm due to subarachnoid hemorrhage. Considerable variation continues to exist regarding fluid management and the use of vasopressors and inotropes. Blood pressure augmentation, volume expansion and cardiac contractility enhancement improve cerebral blood flow in ischemic areas, ameliorate vasospasm and improve clinical condition. In patients suffering from severe traumatic brain injury, while every attempt is made to control intracranial hypertension, cerebral perfusion-directed therapy with fluids and vasopressors is also used to keep cerebral perfusion pressure above 60-70 mmHg. Yet, recent observations suggest that posttraumatic mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed as an alternative explanation for lower cerebral blood flow after acute trauma. SUMMARY Hemodynamic manipulation is routinely used in the management of patients with acute vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage and severe head injury. The rationale is to improve blood flow to the injured brain and prevent secondary ischemia.

Abstract
Cerebral ischaemia is implicated in poor outcome after brain injury, and is a very common post-mortem finding. The inability of the brain to store metabolic substrates, in the face of high oxygen and glucose requirements, makes it very susceptible to ischaemic damage. The clinical challenge, however, remains the reliable antemortem detection and treatment of ischaemic episodes in the intensive care unit. Outcomes have improved in the traumatic brain injury setting after the introduction of progressive protocol-driven therapy, based, primarily, on the monitoring and control of intracranial pressure, and the maintenance of an adequate cerebral perfusion pressure through manipulation of the mean arterial pressure. With the increasing use of multi-modal monitoring, the complex pathophysiology of the injured brain is slowly being unravelled, emphasizing the heterogeneity of the condition, and the requirement for individualization of therapy to prevent secondary adverse hypoxic cerebral events. Brain tissue oxygen partial pressure (Pb(O2) monitoring is emerging as a clinically useful modality, and this review examines its role in the management of brain injury.

Abstract
For a microdialytic trapping method we systematically investigated changes in concentrations of 2,5-dihydroxy-benzoic acid (2,5-DHBA) and 2,3-dihydroxy-benzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) in freshly prepared solutions of salicylic acid (SA). The solvent was 0.9% saline exposed to different atmospheric concentrations of oxygen (0, 21, and 100%). The solutions were treated by freezing-thawing and an ultrasonic bath in presence and absence of aluminium foil. Without aluminium the concentrations of 2,5-DHBA and 2,3-DHBA kept constant over an observed period of 160 min on different levels from below 20 ng/ml to about 100 ng/ml. In presence of aluminium the concentrations increased to maximum 307 ng/ml after 160 min. Ultrasonic irradiation amplified this effect to maximum 341 ng/ml. HPLC/ECD processing and quantitative analysis of dihydroxy-benzoic acids (DHBAs) in microdialysis may be artificially influenced by varying oxygen environment and metal catalysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this article we aim to review the recent literature concerning the management of traumatic brain injury patients, summarize the main findings, and discuss the impact of these findings on clinical practice. RECENT FINDINGS Several authors have focused on the development of more reliable and informative tools to predict outcome in traumatic brain injury as well as refining the definition of cerebral ischemia in last year's literature. The validity of the current cerebral perfusion pressure management guidelines has also come under scrutiny. It appears that a one size fits all therapy is not a suitable approach for traumatic brain injury patients. An individualized approach, depending on the integrity of pressure autoregulation mechanisms, would be more advisable. Clinical trials investigating brain protective treatments in head injured patients have been disappointing so far. Increasing the homogeneity of patients entering brain protective studies might be an answer. Finally, the use of hyperoxia as well as factors contributing to secondary brain injury such as the occurrence of hyperthermia, with or without an infectious process, have been assessed in head injury patients. SUMMARY The key term for the management of traumatic brain injury patients in the early twenty-first century will clearly be 'individualized therapy'. The search of an ideal cerebral perfusion pressure target that would fit every head-injured patients is a utopia. More energy should be focused on the development of reliable tools for outcome prediction and outcome assessment for traumatic brain injured patients. That, and a better targeting of patients entering brain protective trials, should increase the likelihood of demonstrating a significant salvaging effect of a particular treatment in humans.
