ALBIOS • Early phase Rx: Albumin + Crystalloid vs. Crystalloid • 1818 pnts, 100 centres, randomised: 20% albumin
– 903 HAS -‐ 907 Crystalloid • From day 2 to day 28 (or un<l ICU discharge, whichever
comes first), fluid will be administered as follows: • Treated group: HAS 300mls 20% in 3 hrs + crystalloid ini<ally • Treated group: albumin will be infused on a daily basis, aimed
to maintain its serum concentra<on equal or above 30 g/l if lower than 25 g/l, 300 ml of 20% of albumin solu<on If equal or higher than 25 g/l and below 30 g/l, 200 ml of 20% of albumin solu<on
• If higher than or equal to 30 g/l, no albumin will be infused. Albumin solu<ons infused over a period of 3 hours.
• Further infusion of crystalloids will be allowed • No infusion of colloids, other than albumin
ALBIOS • Used ‘Rivers’ resus protocol • 28 d and 90 d mortality as end points • ‘I am only interested in the mortality’ • 2 subgroups of interven<on wrt <me – Within 6 hours of randomisa<on – Within 24 hours of randomisa<on
• Provisional data: • Less posi<ve fluid balance in albumin group • Significant arer analysis
Albios • ICU mortality: NS (28 day) • 41.1% vs. 43.6% (P=0.29) Early Group • 41.3% vs. 45% (P=0.20) Late Group • 90 day mortality (ini<al data only) • 42% vs. 48% : P = 0.03 • 4th SOFA: P= 0.04 • Cost analysis: Survival: • Gelofusin: 18,000 € • Albumin: 18,000 € 0.118 • HES: 36,000 € -‐0.118
My view: • 1) No colloid or gela<n in sepsis, though we s<ll await a true trial of early phase of resus
• 2) Hartman’s or saline (if Cl-‐ okay) • 3) Consider plasmalyte if raised K+/Lactate • 4) In sickest quar<le (APACHE >24): reasonable to give albumin if <20, ? When to stop. NOT in head injured, though Lund noted!
• 5) Periop/elec<ve: Colloid abandonment difficult to jus<fy wrt EBM, but based on cost and sugges<on of harm elsewhere……thoughts
Cooling and cardiac arrest • Polderman’s: Passive rewarming likely too quick • Avoidance of pyrexia crucial in avoiding HBI
• Seizures: • Very common post cardiac arrest • EEG: guides treatment and aids prognos<ca<on • Con<nuous EEG may improve survival and aid care • Simplified EEG enough: 6 x subdural needles • Phenytoin/ Keppra and Clonazepam best agents • +/-‐ Thiopentone if Epilep<form
Neuro-‐prognos<ca<on arer cardiac arrest • Prolonged recovery arer cooling for seda<ves to wear off:
recommend upto 5 days if propofol/Midaz • Most signs remain very non-‐specific with high false+ve • Absence or abnormal motor signs NOT useful • Brainstem signs incl. pupil reflexes: lower false +ve • EEG helpful, off seda<on at 48 hours post admission • A reac<ve EEG good in predic<ng a good outcome even if
having seizures • A non-‐reac<ve background predic<ve of poor outcome • Preserved EEG background, Late seizures, Pupil reflexes
arer cooling suggest possibility of good outcome
Neuro-‐prognos<ca<on arer cardiac arrest
• SSEP: • Bilateral absent cor<cal responses = very bad sign • Presence of responses is less useful: may s<ll not wake • Bouves (Neurol) 2009: 43% preserved SSEP didn’t wake
• EEG reac<vity more useful in predic<ng good outcome
• Bouves (Annal Neurol) 2012: 399 pa<ents, assessed false posi<ve rates of tests: – Motor responses: high false +ve – Pupil reac<vity: useful – Absent SSEP: most useful in predic<ng bad outcome
Neuro-‐prognos<ca<on arer cardiac arrest
• Collabora<on with neuromed recommended as rou<ne prac<ce
• Propofol be[er than BDZ as seda<on • Seda<on takes longer to wear off than thought • AHA recommends wai<ng longer than 72 hours • Use mul<-‐modal assessment • If +ve signs eg pupils: you should wait >>>EEG/SSEP • Interes<ng discussion in ques<ons re: cost & resource implica<ons
Fungal infec<on In ICU
• ICM 2009: candida colonisa<on, 0 pa<ents at autopsy had candida pneumonia
• Rical ICM 2012: associa<on between candida colonisa<on and VAP
• Especially if in biofilms • MulG-‐resistant bacteria in those colonised with candida was higher
• Persisted afer MV analysis
Fungal infec<on
• Diagnosis of aspergillus difficult • ICM 2012: 23% of H1N1 got invasive aspergillosis and generally early in the process
• Cor<costeroids important risk factor (not beneficial) • Different species may be seen in 2 lungs thus high azole resistance: voriconazole has been first line
• Haem pa<ents, COPD, Flu, Steroids at risk groups • Environmentally acquired azole resistance in EU • Strong mortality predictor, 60-‐90%, (2x candidiasis) • Some papers promote dual therapy ie add ambisome
ICU Candidiasis • 2012-‐13: ESCMID guidelines: • For candidaemia: Caspofungin A1, Voriconazole B1,
Fluconazole C1 and should be treated A2 • 1/3 of cases in ICU at day 1-‐2 then 2nd peak at day 7+ • Fluconazole prophylaxis recommended (B1) if recent
abdominal surgery AND recurrent GI perfora<ons or anastomo<c leakages. Caspofungin = C2
• American guidelines for prophylaxis: – High risk pa<ents in units with high candidiasis (Fluconazole) – Neutropenia (Fluconazole) – Solid Organ Transplants (Ambisome)
Fungal Infec<on • Predic<on rule: Ostrosky-‐Zeichner: • Major risk factors: (1 of) • CVP (D1 to D3) or Broad spectrum an<bio<cs (D1 to D3) • and ≥2 of
– TPN (D1 to D3), hemodialysis (D1 to D3), major surgery (D-‐7 to D0), pancrea<<s (D7 to D0), cor<costeroids (D-‐7 to D3), immunosuppressants (D-‐7 to D0)
• Very high nega<ve predic<ve value, If score < 3
• Need for an<fungal stewardship by expert • Studies showed 1/3 had wrong ini<al an<fungal choice
fever, and empirical fluconazole treatment did not improve
outcome when compared with placebo [30].
Recommendations. Early treatment of presumed fungaemia is
presumably associated with higher survival rates, but the
optimal time point for initiating empiric antifungal treatment
remains undetermined. Due to lack of data, no recommenda-
tion can be given for choosing a specific drug for fever-dri-
ven therapy. In general, such choice should be based on local
epidemiology and drug–drug interactions in the individual
patient and should be made among the same drugs as rec-
ommended for candidaemia. Further recommendations are
given in Table 4.
Diagnosis-driven approach (pre-emptive)
We defined pre-emptive therapy as therapy triggered by
microbiological evidence of candidiasis without proof of inva-
sive fungal infection.
Evidence. Several studies have addressed diagnosis-driven ther-
apy on grounds of detecting (1,3)-b-D-glucan in serum or
plasma. In a study on 46 ICU patients without infection or with
confirmed bacterial or fungal infection, glucan test results (G-
test; Associates of Cape Cod, East Falmouth, MA, USA) corre-
lated with infection, but not with fungal infection. The authors
suggested using the test to rule out invasive fungal infection
[31]. This was the key finding in a study using the FungitellTM

the proportion of patients receiving which type of lipid-based
amphotericin B formulation.
The combination of amphotericin B deoxycholate and
fluconazole has been as effective as fluconazole monotherapy
in a randomized trial, but patients had an increased risk of
toxicity and no survival benefit [74]. A small study (N = 72)
comparing fluconazole with amphotericin B deoxycholate
and 5-flucytosine showed no difference in overall response
to treatment [75].
Recommendations. Targeted treatment of candidaemia with
echinocandins is strongly recommended. The recommenda-
tion for liposomal amphotericin B or voriconazole is less
stringent, and fluconazole is recommended with marginal
strength only, except for C. parapsilosis. For detailed recom-
mendations, refer to Table 5.
Duration of targeted treatment, step-down to oral treat-
ment and diagnostics in candidaemia
Evidence. The duration of treatment depends on the extent
of organ involvement. In a population without documented
organ involvement, treatment aims to clear the infection
and at the same time to avoid deep-organ involvement. This
can be achieved by treating for 14 days after the end of
candidaemia [82]. To determine the end of candidaemia, at
least one blood culture per day should be taken until cul-
ture results come back negative. Treatment can probably
be simplified by stepping down to oral fluconazole after
10 days of intravenous treatment, if the patient is stable,
tolerates the oral route and if the species is susceptible
[55,63,64].
The diagnostic procedures to detect organ involvement
comprise transoesophageal echocardiography, fundoscopy
and search for a thrombus. A recent observational study
found infectious endocarditis in 8.3% of patients with candi-
daemia; the majority of these patients had no well-estab-
lished risk factors, that is, vascular prosthesis or persistent
candidaemia [83].
Some prospective studies addressed ocular candidiasis as
complication of candidaemia. The diagnostic approach was
usually based on weekly eye examinations. Immunosuppres-
sion and repeatedly positive blood cultures are risk factors

• Cheap, easy to use, ? role in sepsis • AKI, Sepsis, Vasopressor • 76 pnts, double-‐blind, APACHE 2 > 25 • High cut-‐off Vs. Standard Membranes
Renal-‐ pore size
• 90d mortality results awaited • be[er cytokine clearance & reduced vasopressor • Albumin Loss
• Molegero (CCM) 2006: high cut-‐off membrane + sepsis
• vasopressorcytokines SOFA resolu<on
Renal: Modali<es
• Bellomo 2001: CVVH Vs. IHD in sep<c shock: more haem stability
• Visonneau (Lancet) 2006: CVVHDF vs. IHD in MODS • Lins (Nephrol Dial) 2009: CVVH vs. IHD • Both RCT’s: No survival advantage
• SLED: prolonged dialysis at lower dose: very stable • CCM 2012: 200 pnts SLED vs. CVVH: No difference • Wu (Am J surg) 2010: SLED vs. CVVH: No difference • However only small and few studies
Renal: modality
• PICARD study (Kid Int) 2009: CRRT superior to IHD in removing fluid in overloaded AKI pa<ents
• CVVH approx 2x cost of IHD • SLED mean filter <me 19 hours, be[er with citrate
• Bellomo (CCM) 2008: MA of modality: • Be[er control of fluid balance and be[er haemodynamic stability with CRRT
Renal: modality
• ATN & RENAL: No mortality benefit wrt dose • Sepsis 63% and 49.5 % • IVOIRE added to data in sep<c cohort • MA also no signal of dose benefit • Thus 35mls/kg seems appropriate target in sepsis ? 40-‐45mls/kg assuming 80% effec<ve
• Note IVOIRE showed lower mortality vs. RENAL: 28d 39%: Likely due to earlier RRT in course on AKI
Renal-‐ modality
RRT Dependence @ RENAL ATN
Day 28 13.3% 45.2%
Day 60 24.6%
Day 90 5%
• Big difference in recovery of renal func<on • ATN group had 62% pre-‐randomisa<on RRT within
24 hours vs 0% in RENAL • ATN group had RRT prescribed and amended by
nephrologists vs. Intensevists in RENAL • BUT also modality differences
Renal -‐ modality
• ATN vs. RENAL: • total HD sessions: 4.8/pnt (ATN) vs. 0.2/pnt (RENAL) • Hypothesis thus that IHD pa<ents less likely to recover renal func<on beyond RRT
• Schneider (ICM) 2013: MA of modality • 3400 pnts, 2x in RRT dependence in IHD vs. CVVH • Persisted arer MV analysis eg CKD status • Also as ITT signal may be even stronger • This was for any CRRT (HD/VVH/HDF) vs. IHD
Renal: Access • Am J Kid Dis 2000: Op<mal catheter lengths: • RIJ 12-‐15 cm, LIJ 15-‐20cm, Fem 19-‐24 cm • Straight Catheters
• Dugne 2012: 750 pnts Fem vs. IJ • No difference in catheter free survival or infec<on
• ++ recircula<on with Fem vs. IJ only reduced by fem catheter length of 25cm
Renal -‐ Access • Type of catheter: • PVC vs. Silicone (expensive): minimal good data • Bellomo 2007: Lumen characteris<cs eg double barreled vs standard: No difference in filter survival
• Tip characteris<cs: No effect on filter survival • 11 French 250-‐300mls/min • 14 French 450-‐500 mls/min • Yon 2103: 4 % Citrate locks (expensive) vs. Heparin locks associated with line infec<ons and patency: BUT in long term catheters
Catheter Issues
• Marik CCM 2012: earlier studies showed a lower risk of CRBSI when IJ Vs. Femoral, BUT recent studies show no difference in the rate of catheter-‐related bloodstream infec<ons between the three sites
• Dugne 2012: 750 pnts Fem vs. IJ • No difference in catheter free survival or infec<on • KDIGO guidelines 2012: InternaGonal society of nephrology: Khwaja Nephron Clin Pract 2012: various recommendaGons on CRRT including wrt Catheter
1st choice RIJ 2nd choice Femoral
Renal -‐ an<coagula<on
• US registry data suggests 19 hours filter life • Citrate: 6 RCT’s and a MA (Zhang ICM 2013) suggest improved bleeding parameters and longer filter life
• Trend toward possibly kidney and pa<ent survival • Hetzel (Nephrol Dial trans) 2011: 176 pnts, 2nd largest study:
• Lower bleeding and longer filter life 37 hours vs 26 hours with citrate though no survival benefit
• Need for careful protocol and experienced nurses
Citrate An<coagula<on
• Wu 2012 (Nephrol Dial) • Metaanalysis: • 6 trials, 488 pa<ents • Circuit survival (NS): mean 26 hours • Bleeding: Reduced: RR 0.34, NNT: 6.67 • Alkalosis: NS • Hypocalcaemia: RR 3.51: though no adverse incidents in rela<on to low Ca2+
Renal: Filter life lecture • John Prowle: Barts (Baxter) Nephrology intensevist • Most important = consistent high blood flow • Proper set-‐up and de-‐airing • Bubble trap common source of cloLng • Essen<al to have reliable nurse-‐medic communica<on • More an<coagulant should NOT be first line, no evidence to empirically add prostacyclin to heparin
• As some back flow pump flow is ≠ blood flow • SC bad: future fistula and thrombosis • LIJ consistent problema<c for flow
Renal: Filter life lecture • Preferred site: RIJ/Fem/LIJ/LSC • Consider LIJ CVP if expected RRT • CVP and CVVH catheter in RIJ (vascath distal) • Shallow vein approach: transverse USS • Build up Pump flow first NOT once on • Pressure drop early sign of filter failing • Access pressures > 100 suggest catheter issue
Renal: Filter life lecture
• 5 mls/second check on inser<on
• Step wise strategy: 1. Ini<ally check catheter 2. Increase blood pump speed monitoring FF% 3. Low bleeding risk: op<mise heparin +/-‐ prostacyclin 4. High bleeding risk: increase pre-‐dilu<on
Renal: Dose
• ATN & RENAL: No mortality benefit wrt dose • Sepsis 63% and 49.5 % • IVOIRE added to data in sep<c cohort • MA also no signal of dose benefit • Thus 35mls/kg seems appropriate target in sepsis ? 40-‐45mls/kg assuming 80% effec<ve
• 20-‐25mls/kg in non-‐sep<c pa<ents
Dose of RRT
Renal: Dose • IVOIRE Study: 35 vs. 70 mls/kg for 96 hours • RIFLE I and above, sepsis, vasopressor • Mortality 28/60/90 d: P= 0.94: Nega<ve Study • Full paper awaited • Bellomo ICM 2013: 115 pnts. 25 vs. 40 mls/kg • MAP, Vasopressor with 40mls/kg • Honore: Annals of Inten Care 2011: Review: • 35mls/kg should remain standard dose in sepGc AKI
IVOIRE
• Prospec<ve MC-‐ORCT: 18 ITU;s (Fr, Bel, Neth) • 140 pnts recruited (sep<c shock + AKI < 24 hours): 2005-‐2010!
• 137 pnts analysed: • Lower than expected mortality but no difference • HVHF 37.9% Vs. SVHF 40.8% • No significant secondary end points
IVOIRE • NO evidence that HVHF (70ml/kg/hr) reduces mortality Vs LVHF (35ml/kg/hr)
• Also no early improvement in haemodynamic profile or organ func<on with HVHF
• Study stopped early as slow pa<ent accrual and lack of resources a/c authors
• Note interim analysis revealed lower than expected mortality in all pa<ents thus planned study size (480) insufficiently powerful to prove survival effect (15% AR in 28d mortality)
IVOIRE
• Largest Mul<centre RCT of sepsis and AKI • Poten<al deleterious effects of HVHF increasingly presented: excess electrolyte loss, micronutrient loss and drug effects
• 30.4% enrollment over 5 years but noted in editorial that curves cross at > 1 point at 28d and long term follow-‐up. Conclusion that results can be considered defini<ve
Renal Dose • Most sources suggest at least 10-‐15% loss in delivered vs. prescribed dose
• Belloma, Cass NEJM 2009: • Some observa<onal studies have figures for delivered dose as low as 68%
• Also we use pre-‐dilu<on which may further reduce
• RENAL trial used post-‐dilu<onal CVVHDF
Transfusion
• Healthy body replaces 15-‐20mls/day, ICU blood leLng 30-‐70mls/day = 30% of transfusions
• Labs may only use 1-‐2 mls • TRICC 838 pnts, <7 vs 7-‐9: 28% vs. 31%: P=0.35 • Post Hoc: < 55 age and APACHE <20: improved mortality with conserva<ve strategy
• JAMA 93 Marik: older blood problems offloading oxygen: RECESS & ABLE underway to assess unit age
Transfusion • Dellinger (CCM) 2013: SS guidelines: men<on use of Tx in
EGDT to target HCT 30% in pnts with low Scvo2 in first 6 hours, based on Rivers 2001 NEJM (263 pnts)
• Marik: ‘I categorically do not believe rivers!’, raised lactate may not be a marker of oxygen debt that can be improved by blood as paradoxically esp old blood may hold onto oxygen – Arise and Promise underway (Angus, Pi[sburgh lead)
• Villanueva NEJM 2013: 921 pnts acute upper GI bleed – survival at 6 weeks higher in the restric<ve-‐strategy group – frequency of further bleeding and the frequency of adverse events were lower in the restric<ve group
Liver -‐ ALF
• More likely to improve if NOT transplanted • Age/Poor grar/ • Time to Tx/ vasopressor • affect outcome most in transplanted pa<ents
• Fall in Ammonia is a good prognos<c sign, more so in ALF vs. AOCLF
• MARS: no effect on outcome: bridge
Liver -‐ Cirrhosis • Organ dysfuncGon in cirrhosis • Cardiac: • Diastolic dysfunc<on common c E/A • Low CI correlated with poor outcome and Cr • Liver transplant reverses cardiomyopathy • QT prolonged commonly
• Renal: • Renal blood flow reduced through worsening Child -‐Pugh scores independent of MAP
• Albumin & Terlipressin most effec<ve Mx in HRS
Hepatopulmonary Syndrome • Triad of: – Hypoxaemia – Cirrhosis & portal hypertension – Intrapulmonary vasodilata<on
• Platypnea-‐Orthodeoxia • Poor outcome: some may benefit from pentoxyfyline • Gene<c Polymorphism seen • Collinson (Liver Trans) 2002: refractory hypoxaemia, OLT treatment of choice, complete resolu<on >80%
• Poor prognosis without OLT, usually Liver disease rather than respiratory failure
Cirrhosis -‐ seda<ves • Child C 3/12 mortality = 51% • Remifentanyl: ‘may be more sensible approach pharmacokine<cally, cau<on pharmacodynamics’
• Propofol and Dexmetomidine good drugs • BIS very useful in assessing seda<on in these pa<ents
• CCM consensus mee<ng on delerium (AOCLD) 2012: – Haloperidol = bad – Olanzapine: NO good evidence – Dexmetomidine good – Transplanta<on works best!
CLD: When to transplant (Wendon) • Use MELD (age >11) • MELD = 3.78[Ln serum bilirubin (mg/dL)] + 11.2[Ln INR] + 9.57[Ln serum
crea<nine (mg/dL)] + 6.43
• Weisner (2003): 3/12 mortality in hospitalised pnts: • 40 or more — 71.3% mortality • 30–39 — 52.6% mortality • 20–29 — 19.6% mortality • 10–19 — 6.0% mortality • <9 — 1.9% mortality
• When MELD >15, be[er survival with than w/o OLD • Age & SOFA at 48 hours biggest predictors of outcome • 20% 1 year mortality
Alcoholic Hepa<<s • Maddrey >32 ≈ 30 % 1 month mortality – (4.6 x (PT test -‐ control))+ S.Bilirubin in mg/d
• Several RCT’s >> MA Mathurin (Gut) 2011 • 15% improved survival c steroids if Maddrey +ve
• Pentoxyfylline: ? prevent HRS, 1 good trial; benefit • Pn�yl + Steroid vs. Steroid: no addi<onal benefit • Steroids + NAC: P = 0.006 (1/12) BUT P = 0.66 (3/12)!
• Mathan (NEJM) 2011: 71% 1 year survival in transplanted AoCLD (alcoholic hepaGGs)
• 11% drinking again at 1 year
Alcoholic Hepa<<s • Use of Lille model to predict survival (www.lille.com) • Bili change/baseline PT/Alb/Age/Cr >115 • 6/12 survival: • Lille < 0.45 90% • Lille > 0.45 26%
• Assessment of non-‐responder to steroids at 7 days (lille score) is very predic<ve of outcome
• MARS ineffec<ve in non-‐responders to steroids

Proseva Trial
• Guerin, NEJM June 2013 • Mul<center, randomized trial in France (5) and Spain (1) • Included pa<ents with early, severe ARDS • "Early” : included to the trial within 36 hours of mee<ng
ARDS criteria • "Severe" was defined as a PaO2:FiO2 ra<o < 150 mm Hg
(with FiO2 of at least 60%, PEEP 5 cm H20, and <dal volume of 6 mL/kg ideal weight)
• 12-‐24 hour "stabiliza<on" period to verify inclusion criteria prior to randomiza<on
• Randomized: prone or supine posi<oning daily up to 28 d • No commercial support
Proseva: Interven<on
• Prone posi<oning was conducted for at least 16 consecu<ve hours per day in standard ICU beds.
• The pa<ent's head was rotated every 2 hours • Proning was stopped once the pa<ent met oxygena<on requirements while supine for at least four hours (PaO2:FiO2 ≥ 150 mm Hg with PEEP ≤ 10 and FiO2 ≤ 60%)
• Adjustments to mechanical ven<la<on, weaning parameters, seda<on, and paraly<cs were
• Of note, all ICUs included in the trial had been using this prone posi<oning protocol for more than 5 years
PROSEVA: results
• Randomized 466 pa<ents (mean PaO2:FiO2 100 mm Hg) • Most pa<ents had ARDS due to pneumonia (about 60%), and most
received vasopressors (73-‐83%), neuromuscular blockers (82-‐91%), and many received glucocor<coids (40-‐45%)
• 28-‐day all-‐cause mortality compared to supine reduced • (16% vs 32.8%, HR 0.39, NNT 6, p<0.001) • 90-‐day mortality (23.6% vs. 41%, HR 0.44, NNT 6, p<0.001) • Although those randomized to supine posi<oning may have been
slightly sicker at baseline (higher SOFA score), this mortality benefit was s<ll significant arer adjustments for baseline SOFA scores
• On average, prone pa<ents received 4±4 prone sessions las<ng for 17±3 hours.
• Proned for 73% of the <me spent on a ven<lator
Tracman
• Young, JAMA 2013 • 2004-‐2011: 909 pa<ents, 72 centres • Early: days 0-‐4, Late days 10+ • Primary outcome: 30d mortality: ITT • Received a trachy: Early: 91.9%, Late 44.9%!! • 30 d mortality: 30.8% vs. 31.5% (NS) • 2 yr Mortality: 51% vs. 53.7: (p=0.74) • Median ICU LOS: 13 days vs 13.1 days (P=0.74) • Trachy complica<ons 5.5% vs. 7.8%
Acute Pancrea<<s • New classifica<on system: Atlanta 1992: imprac<cal • New….’Revised Atlanta Score’ • 2 phases: Early & Late (week 1: clinical, Late morphological)
• Severity: Mild, Moderate and Severe
• Diagnosis: 2/3 of: abdo pain, Lipase >3, CT findings • Moderate: 1 or more of: – Transient organ failure – Local complica<ons w/o persis<ng organ failure – Exacerba<on of co-‐morbidi<es
Acute Pancrea<<s • Severe: – Persistent organ failure for > 48 hours (modified marshall) or infected necrosis
– Usually have local complica<ons in addi<on – Diagnos<c associa<on with increased mortality – Infected necrosis high mortality
• Onset now classified from start of abdo pain
Pancrea<<s • In the second phase, the disease either resolves (edematous
pancrea<<s w/o necrosis) or tends to stabilize (but not normalize) or progress and enter into a protracted course las<ng weeks to months related to necro<zing process
• Late phase: morphologic CECT criteria to diagnose the specific type of acute pancrea<<s: acute inters<<al edematous pancrea<<s (IEP) or acute necro<zing pancrea<<s—
• A. Presence/absence and site(s) of necrosis • B. Evidence for the presence/absence of infec<on
SAP: Complica<ons
• Now defined as:
• Peripancrea<c fluid collec<on • Acute necro<c collec<on • Pancrea<c pseudocyst • Walled off necrosis • Peripancrea<c necrosis
SAP: Round Table (points) • Late complica<ons (> 2weeks): – Necrosis & infec<on – Extrahepa<c infec<on – Vascular thrombosis – Bowel ischaemia & necrosis – Fistula forma<on
• Early decompression in IAP in SAP may be helpful in preven<ng early perfora<on
• Early sphincterotomy if biliary pancrea<<s: beneficial
SAP: Round Table (points) • Early surgery & infected necrosis: No survival benefit • Many trials suggest mortality with conserva<ve Mx • Necrosis in 5-‐15% of pancrea<<s • 40-‐70% become infected with 30% mortality
• Prophylac<c Abx (Mero Vs. Placebo) – No mortality advantage – Increased resistance
• Thus Abx only if presence or ? infected necrosis • Early feeding as a ‘therapy’: less infected necrosis in addi<on to transloca<on & gut integrity
SAP: Round Table (points)
• transloca<on with TPN vs. EN (P= 0.05) • Besselink (Lancet) 2008: Probio<cs in SAP: • increased mortality, bowel necrosis • Several studies showing superiority of PCT vs. CRP for detec<ng infected SAP 73% vs. 37% sensi<vity
