    Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a critical life-sustaining tool, faces significant challenges for the maintenance of normal haemostasis due to the large volume of circulating blood continuously in contact with artificial surfaces, hyperoxia and excessive shear stresses of the extracorporeal circuit. From a biomaterials perspective, it has been hypothesised that drug eluting coatings composed of haemocompatible hydrogels loaded with an anticoagulant drug could potentially enhance the haemocompatibility of the circuit. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been well established as a biocompatible and anti-fouling material with wide biomedical application. Unfractionated heparin is the most commonly used anticoagulant for ECMO. In the present study, the feasibility of using heparin-loaded PEG-based hydrogels as anti-thrombogenic surface coatings for ECMO was investigated. The hydrogels were synthesised by photopolymerisation using poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) as the crosslinking monomer and poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) as the hydrophilic monomer, with heparin loaded into the pre-gel solution. Factors which could affect the release of heparin were investigated, including the ratio of PEGDA/PEGMA, water content, loading level of heparin and the flow of fluid past the hydrogel. Our results showed that increased crosslinker content and decreased water content led to slower heparin release. The hydrogels with water contents of 60 wt% and 70 wt% could achieve a sustained heparin release by adjusting the ratio of PEGDA/PEGMA. The anticoagulation efficacy of the released heparin was evaluated by measuring the activated clotting time of whole blood. The hydrogels with desirable heparin release profiles were prepared onto poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP) films with the same chemical composition as the PMP ECMO membranes. The coatings showed sustained heparin release with a cumulative release of 70–80% after 7 days. Haemocompatibility tests demonstrated that PEG hydrogel coatings significantly reduced platelet adhesion and prolonged plasma recalcification time. These results suggest that heparin-loaded PEG hydrogels are potential anti-thrombogenic coatings for ECMO.

    Abstract Mortality and morbidity of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) are largely unaltered. A possible new approach to treatment of ARDS is offered by the discovery of inflammatory subphenotypes. In an ovine model of ARDS phenotypes, matching key features of the human subphenotypes, we provide an imaging characterization using computer tomography (CT). Nine animals were randomized into (a) OA (oleic acid, hypoinflammatory; n = 5) and (b) OA-LPS (oleic acid and lipopolysaccharides, hyperinflammatory; n = 4). 48 h after ARDS induction and anti-inflammatory treatment, CT scans were performed at high (H) and then low (L) airway pressure. After CT, the animals were euthanized and lung tissue was collected. OA-LPS showed a higher air fraction and OA a higher tissue fraction, resulting in more normally aerated lungs in OA-LPS in contrast to more non-aerated lung in OA. The change in lung and air volume between H and L was more accentuated in OA-LPS, indicating a higher recruitment potential. Strain was higher in OA, indicating a higher level of lung damage, while the amount of lung edema and histological lung injury were largely comparable. Anti-inflammatory treatment might be beneficial in terms of overall ventilated lung portion and recruitment potential, especially in the OA-LPS group.

    Abstract Background: Left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI) and afterload-related cardiac performance (ACP) consider left ventricular (LV) afterload and could be better prognosticators in septic cardiomyopathy. However, their invasive nature prevents their routine clinical applications. This study aimed to investigate (1) whether a proposed speckle-tracking echocardiography parameter, Pressure-Strain Product (PSP), can non-invasively predict catheter-based LVSWI, ACP and serum lactate in an ovine model of septic cardiomyopathy; and (2) whether PSP can distinguish the sub-phenotypes of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with or without sepsis-like conditions.
    Methods: Sixteen sheep with ARDS were randomly assigned to either (1) sepsis-like (n = 8) or (2) non-sepsis-like (n = 8) group. Each ARDS and sepsis-like condition was induced by intravenous infusion of oleic acid and lipopolysaccharide, respectively. Pulmonary artery catheter-based LVSWI (the product of stroke work index, mean arterial pressure and .0136), ACP (the percentage of cardiac output measured to cardiac output predicted as normal) and serum lactate were measured simultaneously with transthoracic echocardiography. Two PSP indices were calculated by multiplying the mean arterial blood pressure and either global circumferential strain (PSPcirc) or radial strain (PSPrad).
    Results: PSPcirc showed a significant correlation with LVSWI (r
    Conclusions: A novel PSP has the potential to non-invasively predict catheter-based LVSWI and ACP, and was associated with serum lactate in septic cardiomyopathy.

    Abstract Despite decades of comprehensive research, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remains a disease with high mortality and morbidity worldwide. The discovery of inflammatory subphenotypes in human ARDS provides a new approach to study the disease. In two different ovine ARDS lung injury models, one induced by additional endotoxin infusion (phenotype 2), mimicking some key features as described in the human hyperinflammatory group, we aim to describe protein expression among the two different ovine models. Nine animals on mechanical ventilation were included in this study and were randomized into (a) phenotype 1,

    Abstract In vitro hemolysis testing is commonly used to determine hemocompatibility of ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). However, poor reproducibility remains a challenging problem, due to several unidentified influencing factors. The present study investigated potential factors, such as flow rates, the use of anticoagulants, and gender of blood donors, which could play a role in hemolysis. Fresh human whole blood was anticoagulated with either citrate (n = 6) or heparin (n = 12; 6 female and 6 male blood donors). Blood was then circulated for 360 min at 4 L/min or 1.5 L/min. Regardless of flow rate conditions, hemolysis remained unchanged over time in citrated blood, but significantly increased after 240 min circulation in heparinized blood (

    Abstract Background: Fluid resuscitation is the standard treatment to restore circulating blood volume and pressure after massive haemorrhage and shock. Packed red blood cells (PRBC) are transfused to restore haemoglobin levels. Restoration of microcirculatory flow and tissue oxygen delivery is critical for organ and patient survival, but these parameters are infrequently measured. Patient Blood Management is a multidisciplinary approach to manage and conserve a patient's own blood, directing treatment options based on broad clinical assessment beyond haemoglobin alone, for which tissue perfusion and oxygenation could be useful. Our aim was to assess utility of non-invasive tissue-specific measures to compare PRBC transfusion with novel crystalloid treatments for haemorrhagic shock.
    Methods: A model of severe haemorrhagic shock was developed in an intensive care setting, with controlled haemorrhage in sheep according to pressure (mean arterial pressure 30-40 mmHg) and oxygen debt (lactate > 4 mM) targets. We compared PRBC transfusion to fluid resuscitation with either PlasmaLyte or a novel crystalloid. Efficacy was assessed according to recovery of haemodynamic parameters and non-invasive measures of sublingual microcirculatory flow, regional tissue oxygen saturation, repayment of oxygen debt (arterial lactate), and a panel of inflammatory and organ function markers. Invasive measurements of tissue perfusion, oxygen tension and lactate levels were performed in brain, kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle. Outcomes were assessed during 4 h treatment and post-mortem, and analysed by one- and two-way ANOVA.
    Results: Each treatment restored haemodynamic and tissue oxygen delivery parameters equivalently (p > 0.05), despite haemodilution after crystalloid infusion to haemoglobin concentrations below 70 g/L (p < 0.001). Recovery of vital organ-specific perfusion and oxygen tension commenced shortly before non-invasive measures improved. Lactate declined in all tissues and correlated with arterial lactate levels (p < 0.0001). The novel crystalloid supported rapid peripheral vasodilation (p = 0.014) and tended to achieve tissue oxygen delivery targets earlier. PRBC supported earlier renal oxygen delivery (p = 0.012) but delayed peripheral perfusion (p = 0.034).
    Conclusions: Crystalloids supported vital organ oxygen delivery after massive haemorrhage, despite haemodilution to < 70 g/L, confirming that restrictive transfusion thresholds are appropriate to support oxygen delivery. Non-invasive tissue perfusion and oximetry technologies merit further clinical appraisal to guide treatment for massive haemorrhage in the context of Patient Blood Management.
