Måndag 21/9 kl 14:00–15:30 Lokal: Utställningen Moderatorer: Karin Björnström, Ulrik Sartipy Silvia Marchesi MD, Aki Hata MD, Francisco Ortiz-Nieto MS, Anders Larsson PhD, Göran Hedenstierna PhD P1 Hemodynamic, metabolic and end-organ effects of endovascular thoracic aortic balloon occlusion and reperfusion in pigs Nilsson KF , Sadeghi M , Dogan E , Jansson K , Hörer TM 1, 2 4 1 3 1 1 Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, 2 Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care and 3 Department of Surgery, Örebro University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Örebro University. 4 Department of Surgery, Västerås Hospital. Background: Endovascular aortic balloon occlusion (ABO) can be used to temporarily stop life threatening bleedings in severe trauma as an alternative to emergency thoracotomy. In a nonhaemorrhagic pig model, we investigated circulatory, metabolic and end-organ effects of ABO and reperfusion, and their relation to occlusion time. Anesthetized pigs (25–35 kg) were randomized to either of four groups (n=6/group): 15 min (ABO15), 30 min (ABO30) or 60 min (ABO60) of thoracic ABO followed by 3 h of reperfusion, or sham (control). Central haemodynamics, blood flow in the superi-or mesenteric artery (SMA) and arterial blood gases were measured during ABO and reperfusion. Plasma concentrations of markers of end-organ damage and intraperitoneal concentrations of lactate, pyru-vate and glycerol by microdialysis, were analyzed. Methods: Results: ABO increased mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and decreased blood flow in SMA to almost zero. At reperfusion, MAP initially dropped but normalized throughout reperfusion. Blood flow in SMA returned to normal at reperfusion. At reperfusion, arterial pH decreased in parallel with increased arterial lactate concentrations in all ABO-groups, but most pronounced in ABO60. In ABO30 and ABO60, arterial pH and lactate concentrations were still abnormal after 3 h of reperfusion. Arterial potassium concentrations increased throughout reperfusion in all ABO-groups, most expressed in ABO60. Intraperitoneal lactate/pyruvate ratios and glycerol concentrations in-creased in all ABO groups, and the increases were largest in ABO30 and ABO60. During reperfusion the plasma concentrations of creatini-ne, aspartate aminotransferase and lipase increased in the ABO30 and ABO60, whereas creatine kinase only increased in ABO60. In a non-haemorrhagic pig model, thoracic ABO causes metabolic acidosis, hyperlactatemia and hyperkalemia as well as pos-sible damage to visceral end-organs. The severity of these end-organ effects is dependent on occlusion time. Risk and benefit ........................................................................................... considerations are important when using ABO and the anaesthesiologist must take part in that decision. Conclusion: Hedenstierna Laboratoriet, Akademiska Sjukhuset, Uppsala Background: Assessment of perfusion, especially of the abdomen, is challenging in clinical settings as well as in the research field. The commonly used imaging techniques, PET and CT, employ contrast agents and are not appropriate in all scenarios. To evaluate whether DWI-MR technique could be used to assess perfusion in abdominal organs in an endotoxemic animal-model. Aim of the study: Material and Methods: Endotoxemic shock was induced in 12 anest- hetized piglets. Animals were randomized into 2 groups with different MAP (Group1: MAP ≥ 65 mmHg; Group2: 50 < MAP ≤ 60 mmHg). The desired MAP was maintained with infusion of Noradrenaline. After six hours, DW-MRI was performed. DWI-MR technique utilizes water motion as internal contrast, making possible to study diffusion (movement of water within tissue) and perfusion (movement of water inside capillary net). Perfusion was calculated as a fraction (f ), which represents the contribution of water in capillary on the total amount of water molecules movement in one region of interest (ROI). Several ROIs were defined in 5 target organs: intestine, stomach, liver, spleen and kidneys. In addition, perfusion was assessed with indirect markers, i.e., arterial lactate, SvO2 and urinary output. Results: The f-value indicated a reduced perfusion in the stomach and intestine (p<0.05) in Group2 compared with Group1, which also was reflected in arterial lactate ( Group1 3,5 ± 0,94 mmol/L, Group2 4,6 ± 0,63 mmol/L, p 0,04) and in SvO2: (Group1 41 ± 5,5%, Group2 27± 8,9%, p < 0,01). Conclusion: Since DWI-MR was related to the indirect measures of abdominal perfusion it has the potential to be used as a non-invasive technique to assess abdominal perfusion both in the experimental and clinical setting. ...........................................................................................

To date, treatment options are limited. Hyperglycemia is frequently seen in conjunction with the ischemia and is believed to further worsen the neurological outcome. Material and methods: Pigs were openly randomized to high or normal glucose levels, as regulated by glucose and insulin infusions with target levels of 8.5–10 mM and 4–5.5 mM, respectively. The animals were subjected to cardiac arrest (CA) of 5 min followed by 8 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and direct current shock to restore spontaneous circulation. Global expression profiling of the cortex using microarrays was performed in both groups. 102 genes differed in expression at p<0.001 between the hyperglycemic and normoglycemic pigs. Several of the most strongly differentially regulated genes were involved in transport and metabolism of glucose. Functional clustering using bioinformatics tools revealed enrichment of multiple biological processes, including membrane processes, ion transport and glycoproteins. in skeletal muscle harvested from healthy humans wide a large inter-individual difference in the COX IV-2/COX IV-1 ratio. This ratio correlated strongly to whole body (RMR) measured in the same individuals (Fig A). In isolated primary human skeletal myotubes overexpressing COX IV-2, the same pattern was observed. These cells displayed a >60% lower basal respiration and a >50% reduction in respiration without ADP compared to control cells, the latter suggesting either less proton conductance or less proton slip at COX (Fig B). In addition, reduced cellular H2O2 production was observed in COX IV-2 overexpressing cells. Results: Conclusions: Hyperglycemia during CA leads to differential early gene expression compared with normoglycemia. Whether these transcriptional changes represent epiphenomena or early steps in a cascade that contribute to the increased pathology that follows hyperglycemic ischemia cannot be deduced from this study. However, the identified candidates constitute interesting targets for further studies. ...........................................................................................

Objective: Introduction: Background: Human resting metabolic rate shows pronounced variations between subjects, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Cytochrome C oxidase (COX) plays a key role in control of metabolic rate being the terminal enzyme of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. A number of regulatory mechanisms exist to control oxygen consumption and proton pumping at COX. One such regulation may occur through a shift in COX subunit composition. Recent in vitro studies of the subunit isoform COX IV-2 indicate a role for this protein in the cellular response to hypoxia and oxidative stress. However, it remains unclear if COX IV-2 is expressed in human tissues and if it regulates respiration in vivo. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was measured in healthy subjects by indirect calorimetry and skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained for western blot analysis of COX-IV subunits. From these biopsies myogenic satellite cells were extracted and grown after which parts of them were transfected to achieve COX IV-2 overexpression and COX IV-1 knock down (COX IV-1-/2+). These cells were then subjected to respirometric measurements as well as measurement of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation. Methods: Results: 28 We show that COX IV-2 protein is constitutively expressed We examined whether a central factor in septic plasma could affect respirational function of healthy rat muscle mitochondria. ICU patients with severe sepsis or septic shock were recruited within 24hrs of admission together with age-matched controls. Blood samples were centrifuged and frozen. Two trials were performed and mitochondrial respiration was analyzed using an Oxygraph chamber with a Clarke-electrode. 1) Isolated mitochondria from rat skeletal muscle were divided and incubated for 30 minutes with plasma from patients or postoperative controls (n=10). Respiration was normalized for citrate synthase (CS). 2) Permebealized muscle fibers from rats were divided and incubated with plasma from patients or healthy controls, for 30 and 120 minutes, and analyzed for mitochondrial respiration (n=10). Respiration was normalized for fiber weight. Primary outcome was state 3 respiration, which the maximal respiration initiated with ADP and adequate energy substrates (malate and pyruvate). T-test was used for statistical comparison. Methods: Results: No differences in respirational function of the mitochondria were seen between the groups in either of the experiments. 1) State 3 respiration in isolated mitochondria were 19.9 ±6.7 vs. 20.2 ±8.8 nmol O2*U CS -1*min-1 for sepsis vs. control respectively 2) State 3 respiration for fibers incubated with septic and control plasma were after 30 minutes 2.6 ±0.3 vs. 2.4 ±0.7 and after 120 minutes 2.5 ±0.4 vs. 2.5 ±0.6 nmol O2*mg w.w-1*min-1. Respiratory control ratios (state 3/state 4) were good in all experiments (8.8–11.2), ensuring adequate quality of the mitochondria. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the effect on muscle mitochondria in sepsis is secondary rather than directly influenced by a factor in plasma of septic patients. ........................................................................................... P6 Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on nitric oxide generation in humans Johan Uusijärvi1,2, Karin Eriksson1,2, Agneta C. Larsson1, Carina Nihlén1, Tomas Schiffe 1, Peter Lindholm1,3 , Eddie Weitzberg1,2 Dept. of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet, 2 Dept. of Anesthesia & Intensive Care, Karolinska University Hospital and 3 Dept. of Radiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. 1 Background: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) has been suggested to affect nitric oxide (NO) generation in humans. NO is produced by NO synthases (NOSs) from L-arginine and molecular oxygen, and may also be formed by reduction of the inorganic anions nitrate and nitrite. Interestingly, oral facultative anaerobic bacteria are necessary for the first step to reduce nitrate to nitrite. The nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway is potentiated by hypoxia and low pH in contrast to classical NOS-dependent NO generation. We investigated the effects of HBO2 on NO generation in healthy subjects including orally and nasally exhaled NO, plasma, salivary nitrate and nitrite as well as plasma cGMP and citrulline/arginine ratio. We also conducted in-vitro experiments to investigate the effects of hyperoxia on nitrate/nitrite metabolism and NO generation by oral bacteria. Methods: Two HBO2 experiments were performed. In a cross-over ex- periment (EXP1) subjects breathed air at 130 kPa (control) or oxygen at 250 kPa for 100 minutes and parameters were measured before and after exposure. In experiment 2 (EXP 2) measurements were performed also during HBO2 at 250 kPa for 110 minutes. Results: HBO2 acutely reduced orally and nasally exhaled NO by 30% and 16%, respectively. There was a decrease in salivary nitrite/ nitrate ratio during and after HBO2 indicating a reduced bacterial conversion of nitrate to nitrite and NO, also supported by in vitro experiments with oral bacteria showing that hyperoxia inhibited bacterial nitrate and nitrite reduction leading to decreased NO generation. Plasma nitrate was unaffected by HBO2 while plasma nitrite was reduced during HBO2. In contrast, plasma cGMP increased during HBO2 as did citrulline/arginine ratio after treatment and control. Conclusion: HBO2-exposure in humans affects NO generation in the airways and systemically differently. These data suggests that the individual NOSs as well as the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway do not respond in a similar way to HBO2. ........................................................................................... P7 Neutrophil heterogeneity in severe respiratory failure B. Holzgraefe1,2, P. Jones3, M. Jones3, K. Palmér1, B. Frenckner1, A. Larsson5, O. Winqvist3 1 ECMO Centre Karolinska, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, 2Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Section for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, 3Department of Medicine, Translational Immunology Unit, Karolinska Institutet Stockholm, Sweden, 5Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Department of Surgical Sciences, Hedenstierna Laboratory, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden. In systemic inflammation like sepsis and ARDS functional heterogeneity of neutrophils (PMNs) occurs. Mature (high expression of the CD16 receptor) and immature (intermediate expression of the CD16 receptor) PMNs seem to play an important role in the development of secondary infection and ongoing tissue damage. The PMNs express CXCR1 and are attracted by Interleukin-8 (IL-8), which is released at the site of inflammation. We describe our findings of neutrophil heterogeneity seven ARDS patients treated with ECMO. Aim: Approval from the local ethical committee and written informed consent from the closest relative were obtained. Heparinized whole blood from ARDS patients and one healthy control (HC) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cells were stained with monoclonal antibodies: CD16 PE Cy7, HLA-DR APC Cy7, CXCR1 APC, CXCR2 PE, CCR5 PE (Biolegend), IgG2b APC, IgG1 PE and IgG2a PE isotype controls (BD Biosciences). Flow cytometry was performed on a FACSCanto cytometer and analyzed with FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences). Subpopulations of cells are given as percentage of total leukocytes. Methods: Results: In the beginning of ECMO the frequency of immature PMNs was elevated. The majority of the immature PMN population expressed CXCR1. When lung function was improving the immature PMNs population decreased. Mature PMNs showed CD16 expression and CXCR1 expression corresponding to the HC. Conclusions: Immature CXCR1 expressing PMNs decreased when lung function recovered. A therapeutical approach to decrease immature CXCR1 expressing PMNs could possibly facilitate lung recovery in ECMO-treated ARDS. ...........................................................................................

Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Section for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. b. Department of Anesthesiology, Surgical Services and Intensive Care Medicine, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden Background: Exposure to volatile anaesthetics may affect cognitive function and learning, but the underlying mechanisms for this effect are still largely unknown. On a cellular level, activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK 1/2 is essential for learning and long term memory formation. Acetylcholine, acting on G-protein coupled muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) in the cellular membrane, activates ERK 1/2. The volatile anaesthetic sevoflurane attenuates the 29 acetylcholine-induced activation of ERK 1/2. This study was designed to investigate whether receptor internalization or reduction in receptor protein amount could explain this effect. Results: Exposure to 5% sevoflurane over 2 hours significantly reduced the acetylcholine-induced activation of ERK 1/2. Whereas quantification of receptor mRNA (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, α7) and receptor localization were not significantly altered, we demonstrated a significant change in muscarinic receptor proteins. A transient decrease in of M1 mAChR protein and an increase in M4 mAChR protein was observed following sevoflurane exposure. We conclude that the attenuation of acetylcholine-induced ERK 1/2 phosphorylation correlates to changes in muscarinic receptor protein content. Our interpretation of the results supports previous hypotheses suggesting that memory impairment following sevoflurane exposure may be caused by disruption of acetylcholine signalling pathways due to altered muscarinic receptor protein levels.

P9 Clearance of Nitrate and Nitrite - An observational study of continuous renal replacement therapy on intensive care patients Fredrik Eidhagen, Carl-Jonas Lindskog and Eddie Weitzberg Dept. of Physiology and Pharmacology, Section of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm. Background: Nitric oxide (NO) has sparked a vast scientific interest in the past decades. It is involved in various vital processes such as upholding vascular homeostasis and regulating mitochondrial function. The supposedly stable end products of NO oxidation, nitrate and nitrite, have been established to play a crucial part in the bioavailability of NO, since they can be recycled back to bioactive NO. This study aimed to examine if CRRT had a scavenging effect on arterial plasma nitrate and nitrite as well as determine the clearance and mass removal rate of these anions. Methods: In this observational study, 9 patients with acute renal failu- re treated with PrismaFlex CRRT system were included. To determine nitrate and nitrite levels samples from arterial blood were collected daily during and after CRRT. Samples were also collected from the CRRT system in order to determine clearance and mass removal. Results: Arterial plasma nitrate decreased significantly during CRRT, 59% after 24h, and increased towards baseline levels 24h after termination. In contrast, nitrite levels were not significantly altered by CRRT. Clearance of nitrate ranged from 54,0±4,0 to 118,3±36 ml/min at effluent flow rates of 50–80 mL/min. Mass removal rate of nitrate declined initially and stabilized after 12 hours and correlated to arterial nitrate levels. Conclusions: CRRT had a scavenging effect on nitrate. Nitrate passes freely across the CRRT filter, exhibiting a clearance superior to both creatinine and urea. ........................................................................................... Posterpresentation 2 Måndag 21/9 kl 14:00–15:30 Lokal: Utställningen Moderatorer: Carolina Samuelsson, Claes Frostell P10 Single deranged physiological parameters are associated with mortality in a low-income country Baker T, Blixt J, Lugazia E, Schell O, Mulungu M, Milton A, Castegren M, Eriksen J, Konrad D. Dept. of Physiology and Pharmacology, Section of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm. To investigate whether deranged physiological parameters at admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Tanzania are associated with in-hospital mortality, and compare single deranged physiological parameters to a more complex scoring system. Objective: Design: Prospective, observational, cohort study of patient notes and admission records. Data were collected on vital signs at admission to the ICU, patient characteristics and outcomes. Cut-offs for deranged physiological parameters were defined a priori and their association with in-hospital mortality was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. Setting: Tanzania. Patients: ICU at Muhimbili National Hospital, Dar es Salaam, All adults admitted to the ICU in a 15 month period. Measurements and Main Results: 269 patients were included: 54% female, median age 35 years. In-hospital mortality was 50%. At admission, 69% of patients had one or more deranged physiological parameter. Sixty-four percent of the patients with a deranged physiological parameter died in-hospital, compared to 18% without (p<0.001). The presence of a deranged physiological parameter was associated with mortality (adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) 4.64 95% Confidence Interval 1.95–11.09). Mortality increased with increasing number of deranged physiological parameters (OR per deranged physiological parameter 2.24 (1.53–3.26)). Every individual deranged physiological parameter was associated with mortality with unadjusted ORs between 1.92 and 16.16. A National Early Warning Score (NEWS) of ≥7 had an association with mortality (OR 2.51 (1.23–5.14)). Conclusion: Single deranged physiological parameters on admission are associated with mortality in a critically ill population in a low-income country. As a measure of illness severity, single deranged physiological parameters are as useful as a compound scoring system in this setting and could be termed “danger signs”. Danger signs may be suitable for the basis of routines to identify and treat critically ill patients. ........................................................................................... P11 Vital Signs Directed Therapy on an Intensive Care Unit in a Low-income Country Baker T, Schell O, Lugazia E, Blixt J, Mulungu M, Castegren M, Eriksen J, Konrad D. 30 Dept. of Physiology and Pharmacology, Section of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm. Background: Global Critical Care is attracting increasing attention. At 58 million deaths per year, the worldwide burden of critical illness is greater than generally appreciated. Low income countries (LIC) have a disproportionally greater share of critical illness, and yet critical care facilities are scarce in such settings. Routines utilizing deranged vital signs to identify critical illness and trigger medical interventions have become common in high-income countries but have not been investigated in LIC. We aimed to assess whether a vital signs directed protocol could improve care and reduce mortality on an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Tanzania. Prospective, before-and-after interventional study on the ICU of a university hospital in Tanzania. A context-appropriate protocol that defined danger signs and actions was designed and then implemented in a four week period using sensitisation, training, job aids, supervision and feedback. Adherence to the protocol was compared pre and post-intervention at admission and during care on the ICU. Adherence and in-hospital mortalities were analysed with regression models. Results: Danger signs from 447 patients were included: 269 pre-intervention and 178 post-intervention. Adherence was higher post-intervention (At-admission: 79% vs 23%, p<0.001; On-ICU: 17% vs 3%, p<0.001). A danger sign was five times more likely to be treated post-intervention (Prevalence Ratio (PR) 4.97 (2.94–8.38) p<0.001). 36% of hypotension occasions were treated with fluids post-intervention, as compared to 4% pre-intervention (p=0.001) (PR 6.4 (2.5– 16.1) p<0.001). In the subgroup of patients admitted with hypotension, mortality was lower post-intervention (69.2% vs 92.3% p=0.02) giving a numbers-needed-to-treat of 4.3. Overall in-hospital mortality rates were unchanged (50.2% vs 50.9%, p=0.89). Method: Conclusion: The introduction of a vital signs directed therapy protocol improved the care of patients with deranged vital signs on an ICU in a LIC. Mortality rates were reduced in hypotensive patients but not for all patients. ........................................................................................... P12 Necrotizing soft tissue infection - First eight years of registered HBO-treatments Rosén Anders, Arnell Per, Lycke Hans, Oscarsson Nicklas Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Sahlgrenska University Hospital/Östra and Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden Background: Prompt antibiotics and early surgery are the mainstay of treatment for necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is considered an adjuvant, but important resource. Centralizing the treatment of patients with NSTI has been shown to lower the mortality rates. Sahlgrenska University Hospital/ Östra (SU/Ö) has been a regional NSTI-center since 2008. Data concerning patients treated for NSTI that require ICU-care is prospectively entered into a quality registry. Aggregation of individual patient data enables assessment of risk factors, treatment effects and actual mortality. o assess mortality and describe characteristics of patients treated for NSTI. Objective: Demographical data, mortality, time to antibiotics and time to primary surgery on all patients treated between January 2008 and September 2014 were extracted from the registry. Patients under the age of 18 were excluded. Calcualtions were made in SPSS Statistics v. 22. Confidence intervals (CI) are stated at the 95% confidence level. Method: Results: Mean time from hospital arrival until administration of antibiotics and primary surgery were 5.1 (CI=3.6, 6.7) and 21.5 (CI=16.1, 26.9) hours, respectively. HBOT (280kPa, 70–90 minutes) was given to 60 (76.9%) of the patients. Mean number of treatments was 4.4 (CI=3.8, 5.0 range 1–20). No correlation was found between mortality and time to antibiotics or time to surgery. The overall estimated mortality rate based on APACHE-II and SAPS-III was 43.0% (CI=36.4, 49.6). The actual mortality was 11.5% at one month and 19.2% at six months. The six month mortality was 16.7% in the HBOT-group and 27.8% in the non-HBOT-group (p<0.001). Conclusions: Mortality, with or without HBOT, was significantly lower than predicted by standard ICU scoring systems. This might be due to centralization and multimodality care, including HBOT. Continued registration will provide more clinical useful information. ........................................................................................... P13 Kinetics of serum S100b after traumatic brain injury A Ercole1, EP Thelin2, A Holst3, BM Bellander2, DW Nelson4* Division of Anaesthesia, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom. 2Section for Neurosurgery, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital Solna, Stockholm, Sweden. 3School of Computer Science and Communication, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. 4Section for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. 1 Purpose: To develop a kinetic model to characterise the temporal variation of serum S100b concentration after primary traumatic brain injury. Data of serial serum S100b samples from 154 traumatic brain injury patients in a neurointensive care unit were retrospectively analysed, including only patients without secondary peaks of this biomarker. A hierarchical, Bayesian gamma variate kinetic model was constructed and the parameters estimated by Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling. Methods. Results: We demonstrated that S100b concentration changes dramatically over timescales that are clinically important for early prognostication with a peak at 27.2 hours (95% credible interval [25.6, 28.8]). Baseline S100b levels was found to be 0.11 μg/L (95% credible interval [0.10, 0.12]). Conclusions: Even small differences in injury to sample time may lead to large changes in S100b in the first days after injury. Kinetic modelling may offer a way to reduce the ambiguity in interpretation of randomly sampled acute biomarkers. The kinetics of S100b mean that levels vary dramatically over the first few days post injury which is also the time that their potential for prognosis and for detecting secondary injury may be most valuable. A failure to appreciate this time variation may Take home message: 31 lead to substantial errors in evaluating initial injury severity or failing to detect subsequent secondary injuries in later measurements. ........................................................................................... P14 Pediatric population and management strategies in longterm PICU Eva Wesslen-Eriksson, MD, Director Longterm PICU, Astrid Lindgren Children´s Hospital, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden Children with severe, unusual and often complex diseases or malformations need technical and advanced respiratory management in order to promote optimal medical and psychosocial care . Starting in 1990 in order to support individual growth, development and social interactions with families, the Longterm PICU at the Karolinska University Hospital has a key role within the Pediatric Respiratory Centre. Here a dedicated multidisciplinary team including intensive care medicine, anesthesia, ENT surgery, pulmonary medicine, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, nutrition and occupation therapy provides unique expertise upon which this highly specialized unit is based. A key feature in treatment strategies involves advanced non-invasive or invasive ventilation with or without tracheostomy. Duration of stay may sometimes exceed 6 months in order to transfer to home. For successful transition to home of patients, the unit also operates in close collaboration with community health care providers with home assistance. In this context, home ventilators are applied and techniques are currently under strong development within this segment of respiratory care. For children with malformations or impaired airway, surgical strategies may be necessary in order to provide safe long term ventilation and spontaneous breathing. The unit also has a close follow-up of discharged patients. administered she became unconscious and was hastily intubated, due to loss of airway. The patient presented to the ICU with hypotension, vasopressor treatment and volume resuscitation was initiated. Sodium valproic concentrations was initially 1970 µmol/l and increased shortly to 2990 µmol/l. Ammonium levels increased from 190 to 640 µmol/l during the first day. Carnitine was initiated at the dose of 100 mg/kg and thereafter 15 mg/kg was given every 4 hour. The patient was kept on a ventilator and blood pressure was stabilized with a low dose of norepinephrine. She developed a few episodes of seizures. In the second day ammonium levels increased from 60 to 150 to 430 µmol/l and a CRRT was started. After 24 hours with CRRT and repeated doses of carnitine the level of valproic acid decreased from 430 to 81 µmol/l and ammonium levels decreased from 1030 to 360 µmol/l. The patient could be extubated after seven days on a ventilator and was transferred to a medical ward. In that stage she still hallucinated and presented paranoid delusions which resolved completely two weeks later. A psychiatrist refereed her psychotic episode to medical treatment with valproic acid. She had no history of previous psychotic episodes. Conclusions: Carnitine may be of help in reducing hepatic injury after overdose of valproic acid. CRRT may be helpful in reducing toxicity and increasing elimination. It is possible that psychosis may be an inadvertent effect due to valproic acid. ........................................................................................... P16 A fatal case of consumption of fat-burning formulas containing beta-metylphenylamine and caffeine. Kai Knudsen ........................................................................................... AnOpIVA Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg P15 Background: A case of severe overdose with valproic acid treated with carnitine and CRRT. Kai Knudsen AnOpIVA, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg. Background: Valproic acid is an antiepileptic medication that is incre- asingly being used in the treatment of bipolar disorders and depression. An overdose is associated with hypotension, respiratory failure, and somnolence and may cause hepatic injury. Lactic acidosis and increased ammonium ion levels may be present. Treatment with carnitine has been suggested to improve metabolism and reduce hepatic injury. Hemodialysis may improve elimination of valproic acid. Objectives: To report a case of valproic acid overdose where treatment with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and carnitine was successfully used. Case Report: A 24-year old woman with a bipolar disorder but no history of psychotic episodes was admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) after being found drowsy at home, due to an estimated ingestion of 30 g of a slow-release form of valproic acid (approximately 100 tablets). She was initially cardiorespiratory stable and responsive. During gastric lavage at the ED where 25 g of activated charcoal was 32 Beta-metylphenylamine is a component in some commercially available formulas called fat burners increasingly used by body builders. Some formulas of fat burners also contain high amounts of caffeine (150 mg of caffeine per cap). In treatment of adult patients with ADHD a licensed preparation of amphetamine has become common in Sweden. Mixtures of fat burners and central stimulating drugs may induce profound adrenergic activity leading to agitation, muscular rigidity, hyperthermia, seizures, rhabdomyolysis, confusion and finally circulatory collapse. Objectives: To report a case of agitation and confusion after ingestion of multiple fat burners when on treatment with multiple psychiatric medications. A possible interaction was likely leading to a hyperadrenergic syndrome finally leading to cardiovascular collapse and death. Case Report: A 31-year old man with history of ADHD, panic disor- ders and substance abuse was on treatment with chlomipramine (375 mg/d), lisdexamphetamine (130 mg/d) and flunitrazepam (1 mg/d). He was experienced in body-building and on his own webpage he declared a regular consumption of fat burners containing caffeine and beta-metylphenylamine. He was admitted to the Emergency Department after being found convulsing at home. At the ED the patient with a body weight of 140 kilos was disorientated, confused and aggressive. A drug screening was positive for bensodiazepines, buprenorphine, THC and tramadol. The patient presented with extreme stress, tachycardia, hyperthermia, sweating and high creatin-kinase (CK) levels. The patient needed to be heavily sedated with propofol and opioids, intubated and connected to a ventilator. Dantrolene sodium was administrated without any apparent positive effect. Treatment was instituted with dexmedetomidine, propofol, transdermal opioids and high doses of bensodiazepines. The patient was transferred to the psychiatric ward after two days but the patient again became agitated and confused and was brought back to the ICU. Shortly after arrival to the ICU he collapsed and CPR was immediately instituted but this time the patient was unresponsive to resuscitation and finally expired. Conclusions: Medical treatment with amphetamines, tramadol and antidepressants in a patient with a regular consumption of fat burners may induce a hyperadrenergic syndrome with agitation, confusion, rigidity, hyperthermia, hypertension and tachycardia that may become extremely stressful to the cardiovascular system finally leading to cardiovascular collapse and death. Warning to the public of several new fat burners containing different biogenic amines such as beta-metylphenylamine and caffeine seems to be appropriate as well as information to the medical profession of the dangers and risks of mixing licensed amphetamine preparations with some fat burners. ........................................................................................... P17 Är lipidterapi effektivt vid förgiftningar? Sune Forsberg1,3, Matilda Forsberg2 , Jonas Höjer3,4 1 Anestesi och Intensivvårdskliniken, Norrtälje Sjukhus, 2Medicinkliniken, Norrtälje Sjukhus, 3Institutionen Södersjukhuset, Karolinska Institutet, 4 Giftinformationscentralen Detta är en systematisk litteraturöversikt om intravenös lipidemulsion som motgift vid förgiftning med läkemedel eller droger. Lipidterapi är en behandlingsstrategi som har använts sedan 2006, framförallt vid förgiftning med lokalanestesimedel. Flera djurstudier stödjer en positiv effekt (1) men det finns även de som motsäger sådan. Det är fortfarande oklart om och i så fall hur intravenös lipidemulsion fungerar som antidot, men rådande hypotes är ”lipid sink theory”, som innebär att intravenöst tillfört fett binder fettlösliga toxiner. Syftet: Att utröna om snabb intravenös tillförsel av lipidemulsion är en effektiv behand- lingsmetod vid akut förgiftning med droger och läkemedel och i så fall för vilka förgiftningsmedel och vid vilka exponeringsvägar (parenteral/peroral). Metod: Systematisk litteratursammanställning. Artiklarna, publicerade 1998 till mars 2013, har systematiskt sökts fram via PubMed och Web of Science utifrån fördefinierade kriterier. Även förgiftningsmedlens log p-värde, fettlöslighet, har sökts fram via Internet. Identifierade artiklar har granskats av två intensivvårdsläkare utifrån en klassificeringsmall(2) för att bedöma sannolikheten för lipidterapins eventuellt positiva effekt. Resultat: Litteratursökningen resulterade i 3919 artiklar varav 126 uppfyllde de fördefinierade inklusionskriterierna vid genomgång av alla abstract. Vid detaljgranskning sållades ytterligare artiklar bort och slutligen fanns 92 patientfall kvar som rapporterat positiv effekt av lipidbehandling. Resultaten visade ingen korrelation mellan förgiftningsmedlens ökande fettlöslighet och tydlig positiv effekt, snarare sågs en icke statistiskt säkerställd korrelation i den andra riktningen. Vid perorala förgiftningar var det ytterst osäkert om lipidterapin haft en positiv effekt. Även vid parenteral feladministrering av lokalanestetika visades lipidterapins effekt vara osäker. Diskussion: Enligt denna systematiska litteraturöversikt föreligger inte några säkra vetenskapliga belägg för att lipidterapi har någon positiv effekt på människor och framför allt inte vid perorala förgiftningar. Även negativ effekt av lipidterapi finns beskriven. Det är därför rimligt att begränsa dess indikation till direkt livshotande situationer och när etablerade behandlingsmetoder varit verkningslösa.

We hypothesed that elimination of intraoperative glucose administration may reduce perioperative hyperglycemia, and hence modulate postoperative complications. Methods: 20 patients scheduled for open hepatectomy were enrolled in this prospective observational study. All patients received epidural anaesthesia. Ten patients (enrolled in a previously published study) received glucose infusion (2.5 mg/kg/h; group G), and ten newly recruited patients received Ringer-Acetate (1 ml/kg/h; group C) during ongoing surgery. After induction of anesthesia and establishing an arterial line, sampling was initiated. Infusions were started after the central venous line was inserted. Arterial plasma glucose was measured every 10 min. with a bedside glucose monitor (Hemocue AB, Ängelholm, Sweden) throughout surgery. Results: Baseline characteristics between the groups were not signi- ficantly different for age, BMI, blood loss or operating and resection time. Mean glucose value at start was 6.6±0.8 and 7.3±1.3 mmol/l in group G and C (p 0.14, t-test). Mean glucose value during the first 240 min (last time point with enough subject in each group to allow for statistical analyses; n=8 in both groups) were 8.4±1.3 and 8.9±0.7mmol/l in group G and C (p=0.23, t-test). Individual perioperative glucose levels during same time period showed no statistical difference (p=0.51, ANOVA). Neither did comparison of AUC in each group for the same time period show any significant difference, 195.4±36.2 vs 201.5±35.7 mmol/l in group G and C (p 0.71,t-test). Conclusions: In an observational study of 20 patients scheduled for open liver surgery, infusion of glucose (2.5mg/kg/h) or Ringer-Acetate 33 both showed a perioperative hyperglycemia but no difference between the treatments was observed. The authors have no conflict of interest. ........................................................................................... P19 Fluid therapy – a systematic review and cross-sectional study of clinical practice Olsson D, Lindgren S Anestesikliniken, Sahlgrenska Sjukhuset, Göteborg Intravenous fluid treatment is one of the most common interventions in the field of perioperative and intensive care medicine. The choice of resuscitation fluid has been debated for many decades. At the turn of the century the debate was reactivated as new meta-analyses surfaced. In 1998 Schierhout and Roberts changed the view on albumin use in intensive with an analysis showing an increased risk of death using albumin vs other fluids. At Sahlgrenska University Hospital, albumin costs dropped by 64 % the following year (Haljamäe and Lindgren 2000) and the synthetic colloid hydroxyeathylstarch (HES) replaced human albumin as the preferred resuscitation colloid. In 2004 prospective studies on albumin showed no increased mortality risk compared to crystalloids (Finfer S. et. al) and ten years later the pendulum swung as several large prospective studies showed an increased risk of kidney failure when resuscitating critically ill patients with HES compared to crystalloid fluid management. (Myburgh and Mythen 2013) In 2013 international institutes issued warnings of using HES in critically ill patients. In Sahlgrenska University Hospital the albumin costs increased by 47 % the following year. In March 2015 we conducted a web survey, distributed to 100 physicians in the department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine. Out of 62 respondents 56% and 69% answered that they used both crystalloid and colloid solutions for perioperative and sepsis resuscitation respectively, and 74% that their first hand choice perioperatively were HES. However, when treating septic shock, 89% answered that their preferred colloid solution where albumin. In conclusion, there is recent evidence showing that albumin should be preferred as resuscitation colloid in septic patients. Among physicians in our department the adaptation to these recent fluid therapy recommendations is high. However, the economic effect of high albumin use needs to be evaluated and the increased cost should be advocated by a presumed better patient outcome. ........................................................................................... P20 A web-based survey about perioperative routines and praxis for Day Case Anaesthesia in the Scandinavian countries. Sellbrant I, Warrén-Stomberg M, Brattwall M, Raeder J, Haavisto A, Felsby S, Einarsson S., Jakobsson JG. Method: A web-based questionnaire was available to anaesthesiologists on the Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finish National Anaesthesiology Society homepage during an 8-week period and send to anaesthesiologists on Iceland; by the support of the National Anaesthesiology Societies. Results: Information around daily management of day care patients was gained from 303 anaesthesiologists involved in day surgery in the Scandinavian countries. Routine administration of preventive paracetamol was common uniform across countries (80%) but NSAIDs were routinely used by 62 % only and varied between 32% and 80%. Anaesthetic technique varied also, TIVA was the preferred in Denmark and Norway while inhaled technique based on sevoflurane was common practice in Sweden and Finland. Desflurane was infrequently used. Intraoperative analgesic did also vary, fentanyl and remifentanil being used in similar amounts and combinations where used by 1/3 or responders. Laryngeal mask airway was preferred for shoulder (172 responders average use 73%) and breast surgery (151 responders average use 80%).A laryngeal mask airway was also used by 43 responders for laparoscopic procedures, 34 responders for tonsillectomy and 91 responders in prone position. Conclusion: We found a variable praxis with regard to anaesthetic techniques; drugs used and airway management. There seems to be no firm consensus or best practice in the Scandinavian countries around anaesthesia for day case surgery. Further studies around outcome measures, morbidity but also data around the recovery/resumption of activities of daily living following day surgery are warranted. Follow-up enabling “open comparisons” would be of interest. Table 5.

P21 Perioperativa samtal Susanne Wagmo och Ingrid Stackeryd Anestesikliniken, Capio Lundby Närsjukhus, Göteborg ANOPIVA-kliniken, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset Solna Background: Day case surgery is increasing. There is no firm evidence På ANOPIVA-kliniken, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna arbetar vi sedan mars 2010 med ett för oss, nytt arbetssätt i samband med patientens operation. Den anestesi- eller operationssjuksköterska som skall vårda patienten, träffar patienten redan före operationen, tar hand om patienten under operationen, och utför ett uppföljande samtal efter operationen. or consensus around perioperative management of patients scheduled for day case anaesthesia. The aim of the present survey was to benchmark and gain an overview of current clinical routines and practice for day case anaesthesia among Scandinavian anaesthesiologists. 34 Vid det preoperativa samtalet får patienten möjlighet att skaffa information och ställa frågor och sjuksköterskan skaffar sig genom samtalet kunskap om patienten. I det intraoperativa samtalet bekräftar patienten och sjuksköterskan att de mötts tidigare och båda vet vad som gäller. Vid det postoperativa samtalet utvärderar sjuksköterskan och patienten den perioperativa vården tillsammans. Vården blir en sammanhängande enhet. Perioperativa samtal ökar delaktigheten och säkerheten för patienten. Det bidrar också till bättre arbetsmiljö genom minskad stress, och ger möjlighet att utvärdera given vård. Personcentrerad vård är en av kärnkompetenserna i avancerad vård. Arbetssättet ger vård av utmärkt kvalitet och säkerhet. Sjuksköterskorna känner att de är effektiva och ger patienterna ett personligt bemötande och bör verkligen ses som förebild i utveckling av den perioperativa vården. Sammanfattningsvis så visar arbetssättet att vi väl uppfyller Karolinska Universitetssjukhusets vision Patienten först. .......................................................................................... P22 Is unexpected prolonged postoperative care possible to predict? Hawraz Karim, Camillla Brorsson, Göran Johansson Institutionen för kirurgisk och perioperativ vetenskap, enheten för anestesi och intensivvård, Universitetssjukhuset, Umeå Bakgrund: Patienter som genomgår elektiva operationer får en vårdbedömning av kirurger och anestesiologer om det postoperativa vårdbehovet. Det förekommer att patienter blir kvarliggande på uppvakningsvårdavdelningen (UVA) och blir övernattare trots en postoperativ vårdbehovsbedöming som icke övernattare eller UVA mindre än 8 timmar. Detta försvårar bland annat resursplaneringen på uppvakningsvårdavdelningen. Den postoperativa vårdbehovsbedömningen för en patient görs idag av både opererande kirurger och anestesiologer. Detta dokumenteras på olika sätt men innefattar samma bedömningsalternativ. Syfte: Undersöka om patienter som genomgår en elektiv operation med oplanerad förlängd tid på UVA (övernattare) har högre ålder, ASA Physical Status Classification System(ASA) poäng och/eller längre anestesi duration i jämförelse med patienter som opereras elektivt och kvarstannar mindre än 8 timmar på UVA. Har anestesiologerna en signifikant oftare korrekt prognos av vårdbehovet på UVA postoperativt i jämförelse med kirurgernas bedömning? Metod: Data extraherades från perioperativt planerings system för patienter som opererades elektivt vid Norrlands universitetssjukhus mellan januari-maj 2014, totalt 9003 ingrepp. Tiden som patienten spenderade på UVA användes som utfall jämfört med preoperativa vårdbehovsbedömningen. Ålder, ASA-klass, kirurgisk postoperativ vårdbehovsbedömning och anestesiduration extraherades från det perioperativa planerings systemet. Anestesiologernas postoperativa vårdbehovsbedömningar jämfördes med kirurgernas. Resultat: Patienter äldre än 59 år eller som har ASA-klass ≥ 3 löper dubbelt så stor risk att bli oplanerade övernattare på UVA trots vårdbehovsbedömning som icke övernattare. Patienter med anestesitid > 215 minuter löper 25 gånger högre risk att bli övernattare på UVA trots en postoperativ vårdbehovsbedömning som icke övernattare. Det fanns inga skillnader mellan träffsäkerheten i kirurgernas och anestesiologernas postoperativa vårdbehovsbedömningar. Slutsats: Hög ålder, hög ASA-klass och lång anestesiduration är riskfaktorer för en oplanerad övernattning på UVA efter en elektiv operation. Dessa parametrar bör värderas i en postoperativ vårdbehovsbedömning och resursplanering för en optimal uppvakningsvård. ........................................................................................... P23 Temperature measurement during intraabdominal treatment with hyperthermic chemotherapy – oesophagus thermometer vs. pulmonary artery catheter. Marja Lindqvist ANOPIVA-kliniken, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intreaperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a well established method to treat colorectal malignancy with peritonal cancinosis. During the surgery the patient is exposed to 42 C° chemotherapy intraabdominally. It is crucial to accurately measure and regulate the patients temp. during the hyperthermic treatment. In spite of preparatory cooling of the patient, sometimes the temperature of the inflowing chemotherapy has to be lowered to avoid overheating of the patient. This may lead to a less efficient treatment. We aimed to compare simultaneous peroperative measurements by oesophageal thermometer and pulmonary arthery (PA) catheter situated in the heart, mirroring the temp. of the circulating blood. Our hypothesis was that the PA catheter would register lower temp. during the HIPEC treatment phase than the oesophagus thermometer. 15 patients (ASA I-III), with mean age of 56 years (21-78), weight 75 kg (45-106) undergoing cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC were included in the study. All patients received a PA catheter in the internal jugular vein, and an esophagus thermometer. The temp. was recorded in intervals of 5-30 minuter from placement of the catheters until after the end of the HIPEC treatment. Statistics used were Bland-Altman and correlation analysis. The mean temperatures were 36.3 °C (33.5–39.8) and 36.1 °C (33.5–39.9) for oesophagus and PA catheter respectively. There was a high correlation (R=0.93) between measurement methods. However, with higher temperature more deviations were seen. This may to some extent verify our hypothesis that the oesophagus thermometer sometimes overestimates the temperature. During hypothermia and normothermia, the temperatures measured by the esophageal thermometer and the PA catheter correlated well. However, during HIPEC treatment, when the patient is exposed to hyperthermic chemotherapy, the oesophagus temp. in some cases diverge from the PA, showing higher temperatures. ........................................................................................... P24 HIPEC – hur gör vi? Susanne Wagmo, Marja Lindqvist ANOPIVA-kliniken, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna HIPEC (Hyperthermic IntraPEritional Chemotherapy) tillsammans med tumörreducerande kirurgi är en behandlingsmetod med kurativt syfte aktuell för patienter med tarmcancer spridd till bukhinnan. På Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset Solna har 115 patienter mellan september 2012 och maj 2015 genomgått denna behandling. De tre 35 diagnoser som idag är indicerade för HIPEC hos oss är kolorektal cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) och mesoteliom. Operationsmetoden innebär att all makroskopisk tumörvävnad avlägsnas (cytoreduktiv kirurgi) varefter varm cytostatika tillsätts intraperitonellt. Värmen på vätskan är 40-42 C och behandlingen varar mellan 30 och 90 minuter beroende på cytostatikasort. Utöver detta ges patienten peroperativ intravenös cytostatika. Efter avslutad cyto statikabehandling vidtar en rekonstuktionsfas, därefter slutes buken, patienten väcks och förs till postoperativa avdelningen för postoperativ vård. Operationen varar ofta i minst 10 timmar. Förutom de utmaningar den extensiva bukkirurgi utgör vad gäller t ex vätskebalans, konsekvenser av inflammatoriskt påslag mm, innebär HIPEC-behandlingen i sig ett antal specifika anestesiologiska utmaningar då patientens kroppstemperatur, hemodynamik, vätskebalans och glukos/elektrolytbalans avsevärt derangeras inför och under denna behandling. Vår behandlingsmetod är baserad på intryck från såväl nationella som internationella HIPEC centra och även på de väl etablerade rutiner vi praktiserar på övrig stor bukkirurgi. Sedan starten 2012 har vi arbetat aktivt med kontinuerliga förbättringar av vårt omhändertagande av HIPEC-patienten och har idag ett väl fungerande per- och postoperativt koncept för att kunna hantera de specifika svårigheter behandlingsmetoden kan medföra. ........................................................................................... P25 Från förskräckelse till förtjusning – implementeringen av en ny operationsmetod. Marja Lindqvist, Susanne Wagmo ANOPIVA-kliniken, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna På Anestesi, Operations och Intensivvårds-kliniken (ANOPIVA) Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset Solna har cytoreduktiv kirurgi och Hyperterm IntraPEritoneal Kemoterapi (HIPEC) på patienter med tarm cancer spridd till peritoneum bedrivits sedan september 2012. Dessa patienter remitterades tidigare till Uppsala, men 2011 inleddes arbetet för att Stockholm och Karolinska sjukhuset själva skulle kunna ta hand om sina patienter. En multidiciplinär grupp av k irurger, onkologer, anestesiologer, radiologer, operation- och anestesisjuksköterskor, mottagnings- och avdelningspersonal samlades för att planera den framtida verksamheten tillsammans. En riskanalys initierades tidigt i processen, med syfte att klarlägga eventuella riskområden under det per- och postoperativa patientomhändertagandet. Bland operation och anestesipersonal på A NOPIVA-kliniken fanns i detta skede en uttalad oro inför riskerna med hantering av cytostatika, och många medarbetare uttryckte ovilja att delta i behandlingsmetoden. Riskanalysen pågick februari-augusti 2012 och konkluderade vikten av obligatorisk cytostatikautbildning för alla i det perioperativa teamet. Denna utbildning skulle ge kunskap i praktisk hantering av cytostatika, nödvändig skyddsutrustning och riskavfallshantering. Den första operationen utfördes i september 2012, och inledningsvis ingick endast en mindre grupp anestesisjuksköterskor, operationssköterskor och anestesiologer i det perioperativa teamet. De initiala cytostatikautbildningarna hölls av onkologer och medarbetare från onkologiska avdelningar med fokus enbart på cytostatika, men successivt tog ANOPIVA-kliniken över utbildningsansvaret och designade om dem till att även handla om den kirurgiska bakgrunden, det peroperativa förloppet ur både anestesi-och operationssynpunkt samt den postoperativa vården fram till utskrivning till hemmet. Varje inblandad vårdenhet bjöds in för att berätta om sitt kunskapsområde, och på så 36 sätt har våra utbildningsdagar lyckats sprida kunskap om patientens hela resa genom behandlingen. Våra utbildningar har blivit mycket uppskattade, starkt bidragit till att rädslan minskat och intresset för att delta i behandlingsmetoden ökat. Idag ingår ett stort antal medarbetare i det perioperativa HIPEC-teamet. Förskräckelse har blivit till förtjusning. ........................................................................................... P26 Akut njurskada efter HIPEC-kirurgi Andreas Lundholm ANOPIVA-kliniken, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Bakgrund: Målstyrd vätsketerapi (GDT) har evidens för att minska komplikationsfrekvensen efter stor kirurgi. GDT har dock ännu inte etablerats i samma utsträckning vid cytoreduktiv kirurgi med hypertermisk intraperitoneal cytostatika (CRS/HIPEC) av flera orsaker. Bland annat finns oro kring postoperativ njurskada. Syfte: Syftet med projektet var att utvärdera postoperativ njurskada efter CRS/HIPEC med GDT på Karolinska sjukhuset Solna, samt att kartlägga patientgruppen utifrån preoperativa karakteristika, peroperativ handläggning och postoperativ komplikationsfrekvens. Metod: Samtliga sextiotre patienter som genomgick CRS/HIPEC mellan oktober 2012 och september 2014, inkluderades. Retrospektiv granskning av patientjournaler genomfördes och data om komorbiditet, preoperativa riskfaktorer, peroperativ handläggning och postoperativ komplikationsfrekvens registrerades. Njurskada utvärderades med hjälp av RIFLE och postoperativa komplikationer summerades enligt Clavien Dindo. Signifikansnivån sattes till p<0,05. Resultat: Postoperativ njurskada kunde ses hos 28 patienter (44 %). Två patienter (3 %) nådde nivån F på skalan. Alla utom en patient tillfrisknade spontant från sin njurskada inom 3 veckor. Anestesitid var i median 790 minuter (525-1440) och kirurgitid 530 minuter (306-966). Administrerad vätska peroperativt var i median 6000 ml (3000-14870) och peroperativ blödning 1200 ml (150-5300). Femton procent hade en komplikationsnivå högre än 3a på Clavien Dindos komplikationsskala. Ingen procedurrelaterad mortalitet och ingen 30-dagarsmortalitet kunde ses. Ettårsmortaliteten uppgick till 15 %. Gruppen med njurskada hade signifikant längre anestesi- och operationstid, för övrigt kunde ingen skillnad beträffande komorbiditet, peroperativ hantering, komplikationsfrekvens eller mortalitet ses mellan grupperna. Slutsats: Nivån av njurskada var hög bland patienter som opererats med CRS/HIPEC men var sannolikt av låg klinisk signifikans. Längre anestesi- och operationstid ökar sannolikt risken för postoperativ njurskada. Den per- och postoperativa vården var tillfredställande men det finns behov av att prospektivt kvantifiera graden av postoperativ njurskada. .......................................................................................... P27 Postoperative inflammatory response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction – a substudy within a randomized trial Mikael Lunda, T Moines, K Nilsson-Ekdahl, Magnus Nilssonb, Lars Lundellb, Sigridur Kalmana. Jon A Tsaib a Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, and Division of Anaesthesiology, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden. bCentre for Digestive Diseases and Division of Surgery, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, 141 86 Sweden. Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal (GE) junction may improve long-term survival compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However radiotherapy will also affect adjacent organs causing an inflammatory reaction possibly increasing postoperative morbidity and mortality. The inflammatory effects of these neoadjuvant regimes have not been described perioperatively. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative inflammatory profile in patients following chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy. Patients and methods: This was a singel center substudy within the NeoRes trial that compared neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy vs. chemotherapy for cancer of the esophagus or GE-junction. Patients were randomized to receive neoadjuvant cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil with or without 40 Gy concurrent radiotherapy prior to surgery. Consecutive patients (n=14 chemoradiotherapy and n=17 chemotherapy as per protocol), underwent an extended protocol with assessment of postoperative respiratory physiology and inflammatory response. IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and MCP-1 mRNA in lung biopsies acquired at the end of surgery and measurements of these and other compounds in plasma during the postoperative course. Statistical analysis was performed using linear mixed models and Mann Whitney U-test. Results: Expression of IL-1β mRNA was significantly higher in lung biopsies from subjects in the chemoradiotherapy group compared to the chemotherapy group; 4.4 vs 2.0 arbitrary units (p=0.007). During the postoperative period, respiratory parameters and plasma levels of the inflammatory mediators, complement and coagulation factors, CRP and leukocyte counts were similar between the two groups. There was a trend towards an increased pulmonary complication rate in the chemoradiotherapy group (p=0.09). Conclusion: Neoadjuvant CRT for cancer of the esophagus or GE junction induces a local inflammatory reaction in lung tissue, which may play a role for the course of respiratory complications after esophagectomy. There were no significant differences in systemic inflammation or respiratory parameters during the perioperative period between the treatment groups. ........................................................................................... Posterpresentation 4 Måndag 21/9 kl 16:00–17:30 Lokal: utställningen Moderatorer: Emma Larsson, Sten Walther P28 Mortalitet hos intensivvårdspatienter – retrospektiv analys och identifiering av möjliga förbättringsområden Emma Jerkegren Olsson, Brian Cleaver, Eva Joelsson-Alm. Anestesi och Intensivvårdskliniken, Södersjukhuset, Stockholm Bakgrund: Riskjusterad dödlighet (SMR) är ett övergripande kvalitetsmått för intensivvården. Det ett mått som ofta diskuteras och refereras till trots att det är komplext och svårtolkat, t ex avspeglar SMR all given vård under 30 dygn efter IVA-inskrivning men medelvårdtiden på en intensivvårdsavdelning är endast ca 2 dygn. IVA på Södersjukhuset hade år 2013 något högre SMR än andra sjukhus i Stockholmsområdet, och också strax över riksgenomsnittet. Syftet med studien var att studera skillnader i inskrivningsmönster, vårdtid och beslut rörande behandlingsstrategi mellan avlidna och överlevande intensivvårdspatienter. Material och metod: En register- och journalgranskningsstudie av alla patienter på Södersjukhusets IVA 2013 som avlidit inom 30 dagar (137 patienter) samt en kontrollgrupp av 144 överlevande patienter. Data hämtades från Svenska Intensivvårdsregistret (SIR) angående ålder, kön, SAPS3, IVA-diagnos, vårdtid på IVA och ankomstväg till IVA. Från journalsystemet TakeCare hämtades data om dokumenterad behandlingsstrategi, vårdtid på sjukhuset och var patienten hade avlidit. Preliminära resultat: De avlidna patienterna var äldre och hade ögre SAPS3-poäng än de överlevande patienterna. Fler patienter i h gruppen avlidna kom till IVA från en vårdavdelning jämfört med de överlevande patienterna. Könsfördelningen var jämn i båda grupperna men kvinnorna hade signifikant lägre SAPS3-poäng vid inskrivning till IVA trots att mortaliteten var lika stor oavsett kön. Det var endast 34% av patienterna som avled på IVA, de flesta (50%) avled på vårdavdelning och 16% efter utskrivning från sjukhuset. Vid inskrivning till IVA fanns beslut om begränsad behandling hos 3% av de överlevande patienterna, och 17% av de avlidna patienterna. Av de som kunde skrivas ut levande från IVA hade 3% av överlevande patienterna behandlingsbegränsning införd och 44% av de som sedermera avled hade dokumenterade behandlingsbegränsningar. Studien har identifierat flera områden där det finns förbättringspotential, t ex beslut och dokumentation av behandlingsstrategi. Det skulle även vara intressant att titta närmare på könsskillnader gällande intensivvårdspatienter. ........................................................................................... 37 P29 Delirium, sepsis and cognitive complaints after critical illness and ICU stay E Brück, A Schandl, M Bottai, P Sackey.

Background: Delirium and sepsis have independently been associated with increased mortality and morbidity after ICU stay. Cognitive complaints after ICU-stay have been reported. The relation between sepsis, delirium and longer-term cognitive problems remains unclear. isken för fysiska och funktionella besvär är dock hög för de överlevanR de patienterna och kan negativt påverka patienternas hälsorelaterade livskvalitet (HRQoL), vilket i sin tur förknippas med dålig prognos. Syftet var att undersöka hur HRQoL utvecklas över tid för intensivvårdspatienter med lång vårdtid (>96 timmar). Data är rikstäckande från SIR inskickat 2008–2014. Intensivvårdsrelaterade data av vikt för HRQoL (SF-36) analyserades för hela kohorten samt för specifika diagnosgrupper. Resultatet visar att de 1438 patienter som hade en komplett longitudinell uppföljning skattar en ökad nivå i HRQoL över tid i samtliga dimensioner. Skillnad fanns dock mellan olika diagnosgrupper, såsom sepsis, COPD oh ARDS. En stor del av patienterna (10-25%) skattade lägre nivå i HRQoL 12 månader efter intensivvård jämfört med svensk norm.

The incidence of delirium was 33.6% among the responders. 41.6% of the patients had severe sepsis or septic shock. The incidence of delirium was higher in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, yielding an odds ratio (OR) of 3.7 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.7-8.1) by using logistic regression. We found no correlation between cognitive complaints and the incidence of sepsis or delirium. PTSS-10 was significantly correlated with self-assessed cognitive function complaints (r = 0.83; p < 0.001). We estimated a 0.73 (95% CI, 0.53-0.94; p<.001) increase in complaints by a unit increase in PTSS-10. After adjusting for confounders, the estimated increase was 0.54 (95% CI, 0.16-0.92 p<.01) using linear regression. Conclusions: The incidence of delirium is higher in patients suffering from systemic inflammation (severe sepsis/septic shock). Posttraumatic stress symptoms are strongly correlated with later self-assessed cognitive complaints. These findings imply that posttraumatic stress needs to be assessed when evaluating cognitive function in ICU survivors. ...........................................................................................

Anestesi och Intensivvårdskliniken, Södersjukhuset, Stockholm Bakgrund: Tidigare studier visar att svår kritisk sjukdom och vård på en intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA) kan leda till komplikationer lång tid efter vårdtiden såsom depression, PTSD, stress, sömnstörningar, kognitiv svikt och påverkan på patientens fysiska funktioner. Det finns även studier som visar att patientens hälsorelaterade livskvalitet (HRQoL) är påverkad lång tid efter intensivvård och att framförallt komorbiditet är en bidragande faktor. Syfte: Att undersöka hälsorelaterad livskvalitet 3, 6 och 12 månader efter intensivvård och att undersöka faktorer som är associerade med hälsorelaterad livskvalitet. Frågeställningar: Hur påverkas HR-QoL efter svår kritisk sjukdom och intensivvård på en allmänkirurgisk intensivvårdsavdelning? Förändras den hälsorelaterade livskvaliteten över tid? Finns det faktorer som påverkar hälsorelaterad livskvalitet efter svår kritisk sjukdom och intensivvård? Metod: Data samlades in via en allmänkirurgisk IVAs uppföljningsmottagning med SF-36, 3, 6 och 12 månader efter intensivvård samt att faktorer såsom ålder, kön, inskrivningsdiagnos, komorbiditet, APACHE II, opererad/ej opererad, familjesituation, tid på IVA och förekomst av ventilatorbehandling registrerades. Data är insamlade mellan 2004–2013 och 276 patienter är inkluderade i studien. Materialet kommer att redovisas med deskriptiv och analytisk statistik och resultaten kommer att kunna presenteras på SFAIs kongress 21-23 september 2015. Metod: Patienter, 18 år eller äldre med en skadegrad enligt New Injury (Tabell 1): visar att patienter vårdade på en allmänkirurgisk IVA (Study I) har sämre livskvalitet 12 månader efter svår kritisk sjukdom och intensivvård än patienter i tidigare studier och jämfört med svensk norm population. på de utvalda sjukhusen. Av dessa uppfyllde 74 (40 %) inklusionskriterierna för uppföljning. Andelen svarande vid 3,6 och 12 månader efter traumatillfället var 70 %, 64 % samt 67 %. Vi fann att andelen med någon form av funktionsnedsättning mätt som Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) <5 minskade mellan 3 och 12 månader från 47 % till 30 %. Andelen förvärvsarbetande steg från 30 % till 50 % vid uppföljning 3 respektive 12 månader. En femtedel av patienterna uppvisade symtom på PTSD vid de olika mättillfällena.

P32 Långtidsuppföljning av patienter vårdade efter traumamatisk skada med patientrapporterade utfallsmått (PROM). Gunilla Wihlke, Olof Brattström Svenska Traumaregistret(SweTrau) och ANOPIVA-kliniken Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset. Bakgrund: Trauma, skador på grund av yttre våld, utgör ett omfattande folkhälsoproblem. Skador är den vanligaste dödsorsaken bland yngre människor, och för patienter som överlever den initiala fasen efter trauma finns risk för kvarstående fysisk och psykisk sjuklighet. Utveckling av traumavården har lett till att vi idag ser allt mer svårt skadade patienter som överlever den initiala skadan. Patentrapporterade utfallsmått som sjukdomssymtom, funktionsförmåga och hälsorelaterad livskvalitet är parametrar som har blivit allt viktigare att följa över tid för att dels kunna mäta konsekvensen av trauma utöver mortalitet, men också för att kunna utvärdera omhändertagandet generellt men även möjliggöra identifiering av riskgrupper för specifika interventioner i vården av denna patientgrupp. Vårt syfte med detta projekt var att se om det är möjligt att införa patientrapporterade utfallsmått i det nationella kvalitetsregistret SweTrau och på så sätt kunna mäta konsekvensen av trauma på nationell nivå i form av bl.a sjukdomssymtom, funktionsförmåga och hälsorelaterad livskvalitet på lång sikt. I detta pilotprojekt visar vi att traumapatienter har kvarstående fysiska och psykiska besvär lång tid efter skadetillfället. Det finns därför behov av långtidsuppföljning i denna patientgrupp som dock är förknippat med vissa svårigheter pga. att skadepanoramat är mångfacetterat, omhändertagandet är multidisciplinärt och patientpopulationen är heterogen. Arbetet med uppföljning av denna patientgrupp är tidskrävande och för bästa möjliga utnyttjande av resurser och kunskap anser vi att uppföljning på detta sätt bör regionaliseras. ........................................................................................... P33 Har den riskjusterade 30-dagars mortaliteten ändrats mellan 2001–2011? Larsen Robert, Sjöberg Folke AnOpIVA Universitetssjukhuset Linköping Trauma är en dynamisk sjuka och det finns dynamik i de Svenska traumasiffrorna. Vi vet att antalet trafikolyckor minska i samhället idag, men vi vet inte om dödligheten följer efter i samma takt. Det har publicerats skillnader i Europeiska/skandinaviska trauma och vi fortsätter med en totalstudie av slutenvårdskrävande trauman i Sverige. Vi har gjort en riskjusterad traumadatabas av samtliga slutenvårdskrävande trauman i Sverige under åren 2001–2011 genom att kombinera slutenvårdsregistret och dödsorsaksregistret. Vi har valt att specialstudera fallolyckor (som är den största bidragande orsaken till slutenvårdskrävande traumadödlighet), trafikolyckor och även övergrepp för att få tre helt olika grupper. Vi jämför dessa tre grupper mot resterande traumafall i databasen, då vi är övertygade om att traumapopulationen skiljer sig från resterande befolkning, och får då två ben med ca en miljon patienter i var ben. För att få en korrekt riskjustering har vi gjort en International Classification of disease 10 Injury Severity Score (ICISS) modell med en huvuddiagnos och upp till nio bidiagnoser för att spegla att vi tror att multitrauma är dödligare än singeltrauma. Med hjälp av logistiska regressioner mot 30 dagars mortalitet kan vi inkludera kön, ålder, vårdtid och diagnosgrupper. Med frekvenser som inte skiljer sig signifikant på fall och övergrepp medans trafikolyckor minskar och ett OR som mestadels passerar ett är det svårt att uttala sig om att det finns en dynamik i mortaliteten. Börjar man sedan subgruppera på olycksbas och kön kan man se att fallolyckor är nästintill oförändrat över tid. Trafikolyckor uppdelat på kön så ser man en mortalitetsminskning för män och de sista fyra är det signifikant medans kvinnor bara har en minskning det sista året. 39 Män har en minskning i trafikrelaterad mortalitet och fall verkar vara en utmärkt referensgrupp. ........................................................................................... P34 Long term cerebral outcome after prolonged hypoxemia during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Bernhard Holzgraefe1, Christin Andersson2, Håkan Kalzén3, Mikael Mosskin4, Kenneth Palmér3, Björn Frenckner, Anders Larsson6 ECMO Department Karolinska, Karolinska University Hospital and Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Section for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden; 2 Department of Psychology, Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge and Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden; 3ECMO Department Karolinska, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden; 4Department of Neuroradiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden; 5Department of Pediatric Surgery, Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden; 6Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care and Hedenstierna Laboratory, Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden; 1 Rationale: Uncontrolled hypoxemia in severe refractory respiratory failure is associated with cognitive impairment in survivors. However, whether maintaining adequate tissue oxygen delivery but accepting hypoxemia during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) as a part of a lung protective strategy would affect cognitive outcome is not known. Objectives: The present study investigated the prevalence of brain lesions and cognitive dysfunction in long-term survivors from influenza A/H1N1 2009 induced hypoxemic respiratory failure treated with ECMO. Methods: The study (NCT01763060) was approved by the local ethical committee and written informed consent was obtained of every participant. Brain lesion and cognitive function outcome were investigated with magnetic resonance imaging and standardized neuropsychological tests, respectively. Measurements and Main Results: Seven survivors participated in this study 3.22 years (median) after ECMO. Four patients were lost to follow up. Median P/F ratio before ECMO was 51 (IQR 18) with a FiO2 of 1.0. During the first ten days of ECMO median peripheral measured SaO2 was 78 % (IQR 15). Adequate tissue oxygen delivery was maintained as indicated by a median blood lactate level of 1.3 mmol/L. Full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) was normal in five of six patients (within mean ± 1 SD). In one patient FSIQ could not be determined due to lack of formal education. Memory functioning and general cognitive ability were normal in all seven subjects (within mean ± 1 SD). Four patients showed brain lesions, which were unrelated to treatment or hypoxemia. Conclusions: If adequate organ perfusion is preserved during ECMO, hypoxemic conditions could be accepted to avoid further harm by aggressive mechanical ventilation or oxygen toxicity. ........................................................................................... 40 P35 Student- and patient centered supervision in critical care Ann-Charlotte Falk CCRN, Med.dr, Tarja Huhatoja CCRN, Eva-Maria Wallin CCRN ANOPIVA kliniken, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Introduction: There is a growing need to improve clinical supervision in the health care system. In Sweden there has been an increased demand for clinical placements with more nursing students in critical care to reduce the lack of reg.nurses in the future. The academic degree to become a nursing-specialist puts high demands on feedback, reflection and evidence-based care. To meet those needs a studentand patientcentred supervision has been developed in the critical care setting. The aim is to improve supervision to meet demands on more students per supervisor and to make students take responsibility over patient-care during critical care. Setting: The supervision was performed by reg.nurses with a specialist degree at a Critical Care Unit at a level one trauma center with 13 beds for intensive care patients. All patients are care for by one reg. nurse (1:1) with specialist competence. Method: All students and supervisors evaluated the supervision (both orally and written) during the student-and patient centered supervision. Results: Supervision was performed in one regular patient-room with three-four patients requiring intensive care. Two specialist-nursing students care for every patient. One supervisor is responsible for 2–4 students which led’s to improved peer learning before reflection is initiated together with the supervisor. The result shows that students improve they’re clinical- and decision making skills as well as inner and external authenticity. Evaluation shows that 98 percent of all students have been highly satisfied with this supervision style. A few negative aspects has been described i.e. lack of communication between student peers, high demands with severely ill patients and lack of time for reflection. Conclusion: Student- and patient centered supervision in the critical care setting improves students clinical- and decision making skills as well as inner and external authenticity. ...........................................................................................

Det ett mått som ofta diskuteras och refereras till trots att det är komplext och svårtolkat, t ex avspeglar SMR all given vård under 30 dygn efter IVA-inskrivning medan medelvårdtiden på en intensivvårdsavdelning är endast ca 2 dygn. En annan faktor som kan påverka SMR är i hur stor utsträckning patienter med behandlingsbegränsningar vårdas på IVA. IVA på Södersjukhuset har haft en något högre riskjusterad dödlighet än andra sjukhus i Stockholmsområdet, och också strax över riksgenomsnittet. En pilotanalys gjordes av några journaler från avlidna patienter som bland annat visade att beslut om behandlingsstrategi och eventuella behandlingsbegränsningar var dåligt dokumenterade. Det framkom att det fanns flera förbättringsområden att arbeta vidare med och ett tvärprofessionellt team anmäldes därför till ett nationellt utvecklingsprogram på Kvalitetsregistercentrum Stockholm (QRC) för förbättringsarbete med stöd av kvalitetsregister. Övergripande mål var att förbättra möjligheterna för patienterna att få vård på rätt nivå i rätt tid genom att ställningstagande angående behandlingsstrategi genomförs kontinuerligt under hela vårdtiden på IVA. Till förbättringsprojekt har data använts från Svenska Intensivvårdsregistret – SIR. En stor register- och journalgranskningsstudie av patienter som vårdats på IVA 2013 har utförts inom projektet. Teamet har arbetat med att förbättra rutinerna för och följsamheten till beslut angående behandlingsstrategi. Förbättringsförslag var att använda en rondmall där behandlingsstrategi står med som obligatorisk punkt, att planera för regelbundna tvärprofessionella vårdkonferenser tillsammans med patient eller närstående och att utse en patientansvarig sjuksköterska och undersköterska. Resultatet visar en kraftigt förhöjd följsamhet till rondmallen, att behandlingsstrategi diskuteras dagligen, att vårdkonferenser planeras i betydligt högre utsträckning än tidigare och att de flesta patienter nu får en patientansvarig sjuksköterska och undersköterska. Teamet har även lyckats få hela Södersjukhuset att ändra dokumentation av behandlingsbeslut i patientjournalen. ...........................................................................................

Persistent postsurgical pain is a significant clinical problem, and it is closely associated with neuro pathic pain. Once established, this type of pain is often difficult to treat, and conventional pain therapies are often insufficient. A possible mechanism for the transition from acute physiological pain to persistent neuropathic pain involves low-grade inflammation in the central nervous system, glial dysfunction and subsequently an imbalance in the neuron-glial interaction that causes enhanced and prolonged pain transmission. A peripheral injury can cause low-grade neuroinflammation that in turn activates glial cells. The activated glial cells exhibit cellular changes, and their communication is altered. Astrocyte dysfunction, which occurs as a component of low-grade neuroinflammation, can be experimentally restored using the combined actions of a µ-opioid receptor agonist, a µ-opioid receptor antagonist, and an anti epileptic agent. To achieve this response, the use of an ultralow dose of the µ-opioid receptor antagonist naloxone seems to be particularly crucial. Clinically, a pilot study that involved patients with persistent pain demonstrated that intrathecal administration of an ultralow dose of naloxone in combination with morphine had beneficial effects in terms of perceived quality of sleep. The concept of targeting glial dysregulation instead of neural excitability to reduce the development of persistent neuropathic pain is a promising path that merits further evaluation in clinical settings. ........................................................................................... P38 Local Infiltration Analgesia for Pain Relief following Abdominal Hysterectomy. A randomized, double-blind study J Hayden, O Carlsson, K Olausson, S E Thörn, A Gupta AnOpIva, Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset, Göteborg Introduction: In Sweden, approximately 10,000 women undergo hys- terectomy each year and over 60% of these are performed via open abdominal surgery. Postoperative pain during the first 24 h is moderate to severe. Several methods have been used for postoperative pain management. This study (Clinical Trials NCT01782781) assessed the efficacy of local infiltration analgesia (LIA) during abdominal hysterectomy. Methods: Following Ethics Committee approval, 60 patients undergoing open abdominal hysterectomy were randomized to Group LIA (150 ml of a mixture of 0.2% ropivacaine + 30 mg toradol + 0.5 mg adrenaline) injected systematically in the uterine ligaments, different tissue planes and subcutaneously, or Group C (Control) who received the same volume of normal saline, in a double-blind study. Postoperative pain, analgesic consumption (patient controlled i.v. morphine), side effects and home discharge were recorded. Results: Rescue morphine consumption during the first 24 hours a fter surgery was significantly lower in the group LIA, 18 (0–54) mg compared to group P 27 (8–67) mg, p = 0.028. Postoperative pain intensity at the incision site was significantly lower in group LIA compared to group C during the first two hours at PACU. Postoperative opiate-related complications were significantly lower in group LIA. Discussion: Local infiltration analgesia for management of postoperative pain was superior to saline and resulted in lesser rescue analgesic consumption, lower pain intensity and a lower incidence of side effects. Future studies should be directed towards comparison between LIA and other standardized or routinely used methods. ........................................................................................... P39 Morfin intratekalt och epiduralt vid obstetriska och gynekologiska operationer i Sverige – enkätstudie. Anette Hein, överläkare1, Caroline Haegerstrand1, Gunnar Dahlgren2, Jan Jakobson1 1 Anestesi och Intensivvårdskliniken Danderyds sjukhus, 2Anestesi och Intensivvårdskliniken St Görans sjukhus Capio Bakgrund: Intratekalt och epiduralt administrerat morfin till kejsarsnitt och hysterektomi samt vid värkarbete har visats förbättra smärtlindring postoperativt respektive under förlossning. Hur vanlig användningen av neuroaxialt morfin är till dessa patientgrupper är dock inte känt. Biverkningar av neuroaxialt morfin förekommer och kan begränsa användandet liksom behovet av övervakning. 41 Material och metoder: I enkätstudie efterfrågas intratekal och epidural rutinanvändning av morfin, sufentanil och fentanyl, vid förlossningssmärta, kejsarsnitt och hysterektomi. Förekomst av riktlinjer avseende neuroaxiala opioider, ffa morfin, och hur övervakning är organiserad efterhörs. Genom socialstyrelsens medicinska födelseregister identifierades 47 kliniker med förlossningsenheter, till vilka enkäten sändes via mail. Resultat: Vid de 29 kliniker som hittills svarat sker 77 % av landets förlossningar och utförs 79 % av Sveriges kejsarsnitt. Rutinmässigt använder 18/29 svarande kliniker intratekalt morfin vid kejsarsnitt. Vid dessa 18 utförs 76 % av svarande klinikers kejsarsnitt. Intratekalt morfin till gynekologiska operationer används av 18/29 kliniker. Elva av 29 klinker använder epiduralt morfin vid kejsarsnitt (56%) medan endast 5/29 använder epiduralt morfin vid gynekologiska operationer. Sju av 11 svarande kliniker som inte använder intratekalt/epiduralt morfin anger ”risk för andningsdepression” och ”svårigheter att övervaka” som skäl. Vid kejsarsnitt är vanligast förekommande intratekal morfindos 100 mg (15/18) -125 mg (3/18) och tillsats av intratekalt fentanyl 10-20 mg (20/29) respektive sufentanil 2,5 -5 mg (8/29). Epiduralt morfin är mindre utbrett (10/29) medan tillsats av antingen fentanyl 50-100 mg eller sufentanil 5-25 mg är oftare förekommande (23/29). Arton av 29 kliniker använder intratekalt morfin vid hysterektomi och vanligaste dos är 200 mg (9/29) medan övriga använder 80– 140 mg (9/29). Postoperativ övervakning följer SFAIs riktlinjer och organiseras vanligen uppdelat med inledande 2–6 timmar på postoperativ avdelning eller förlossning och därefter upp till totalt 12 timmar på bb/vårdavdelning. Konklusion: Användandet av neuroaxialt morfin är utbrett men begränsas fortfarande av oro för andningsdepression och övervakningssvårigheter. ........................................................................................... P40 Auditory function following post dural puncture headache treated with epidural blood patch – A long-term follow-up Bijan Darvish, Gunnar Dahlgren, 3Lars Irestedt, 1Anders Magnuson, 4Claes Möller, 5Anil Gupta, 1,6 ANOPIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Background: Epidural analgesia is commonly used for pain management during labor. Sometimes, accidental dural puncture (ADP) occurs causing severely debilitating headache, which may be associated with transient hearing loss. We investigated if auditory function may be impaired several years after ADP treated with epidural blood patch (EBP). Methods: Sixty women (ADP group) without documented hearing disability, who received EBP following ADP during labor between the years 2005–2011 were investigated in 2013 for auditory function using the following tests: otoscopic examination, tympanometry, pure tone audiometry and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions. Additionally, they responded to a questionnaire, the Speech, Spatial and Qualities (SSQ) of hearing, concerning perceived hearing impairment. The results were compared to a control group of 20 healthy, non-pregnant women in the same age group. Results: The audiometric test battery was performed 5.2 (1.9) years after delivery. No significant differences were found between the ADP 42 and the control groups in tympanometry or otoacoustic emissions. Pure tone audiometry revealed a significant but small (< 5 dB) difference between the ADP and control groups (p<0.05). The ability to hear speech in noise as measured by SSQ was significantly reduced in the ADP group compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: A minor hearing loss was detected in the ADP group compared to the control group in pure tone audiometry in some women and during speech in noise component several years after accidental dural puncture treated with an epidural blood patch. This small residual hearing loss has minor clinical significance. ........................................................................................... P41 Alteration in hearing following Accidental Dural Puncture (ADP) in the Parturient. The effect of an Epidural Blood Patch B Darvish, G Dahlgren, C Möller, L Irestedt, A Gupta Karolinska University Hospital, Solna and Örebro University Hospital, Introduction: Post dural puncture headache (PDPH) affects 1% of parturients having epidural analgesia. The incidence of PDPH following ADP is between 50- 86%. Changes in hearing function following PDPH are not uncommon. Reduction in hearing is almost always in the low frequency range, occurs even during normal pregnancy and normalizes during the post partum period. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ADP and epidural blood patch (EBP) on hearing. Method: Twenty-one patients having an ADP and confirmed diagnosis of PDPH were included (Group E). Audiometry (tympanometry, pure tone audiometry, otto-acoustic emission and KUDU wave) was performed before and after application of EBP with a follow-up after 3 months. Pain intensity was registered before and after EBP. An equal number of patients having an epidural (Group A) or without epidural (Group B) served as control groups. Results: There were no differences in demographic data, parity or incidence of instrumental delivery. Length of hospital stay was statistically longer for group E (5.5 days ±0.98) compared to group A (4.3 ±1.0, p= 0.0003) and group B (4.4 ±1.31, p= 0.007) respectively. ADP was recognized in the group E via the needle in 8 (38%) parturients, deep analgesia after test dose in 3 (14%) and by PDPH symptoms alone in 10 (48%). Headache was significantly lower 4 hours after treatment with EBP (p<0.05). No differences were found on the audiometric test battery between the groups. There was, however, a significant difference in the number of patients with clinically important hearing impairment (> 20 dB) at 0.25 kHz in the left ear between group E and group B, 9 (43%) vs. 1 (4.8%) (p = 0.005). Conclusions: EBP resulted in a significant reduction of PDPH after 4 h Length of hospital stay was prolonged following PDPH treated with EBP. A significantly greater number of patients with PDPH had hearing loss > 20 dB at low frequency ........................................................................................... P42 Dexmedetomidine as adjunct to ilioinguinal/ iliohypogastric nerve blocks for pediatric inguinal hernia repair: An exploratory randomized controlled trial M Lundblad1, D Marhofer2, S Eksborg3, PA Lönnqvist4 Dept of Paediatric Anaesthesia & Intensive Care, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. 2Dept of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria. 3Dept of Women´s and Children´s Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden . 4Dept of Physiology & Pharmacology, Section of Anaesthesiology & Intensive Care, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden 1 Background: Adult meta-analysis has identified dexmedetomidine as a potentially useful adjunct to prolong the duration of peripheral nerve blocks. However, no data exist regarding the adjuvant use of dexmedetomidine in the setting of pediatric peripheral nerve blocks. Methods: Using a prospective, randomized, double-blind design, children (1½-8 yrs, ASA 1-2) scheduled for outpatient inguinal hernia repair were randomized to receive either an ultrasound guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block (IINB) with plain ropivacaine 0.197 % (Group LA; n = 21) or ropivacaine 0.197 % with adjunct dexmedetomidine 0.3 mcg kg-1 (Group LAD; n = 22). The primary endpoint of the study was time to first postoperative administration of supplemental analgesia (FPASA) triggered by a pain score > 4 (CHIPPS or NRS scale). Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was decided as the primary statistical analysis of the data. Results: The median time to FPASA was prolonged by 88 % following the use of adjunct dexmedetomidine (4.0 hours and 7.6 hours in group LA and LAD, respectively) (p = 0.0717). Patients in Group LA displayed a significantly higher number of patients with a CHIPPS score > 4 in the PACU (7 vs. 0; p = 0.0029) as well as a higher incidence of PAED (4 vs. 0; p = 0.0485) when compared to patients in Group LAD. No adverse events were recorded in any of the study groups. Conclusions: The use of dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to an IINB resulted in reduced incidences of CHIPPS pain scores > 4 and PAED scores of >11 during early recovery following pediatric inguinal hernia repair. In addition, the use of adjunct dexmedetomidine was associated with a prolongation of the period to first supplemental analgesia demand. The results of the present exploratory study must be viewed as preliminary and need further validation by future larger sized studies and/or meta-analysis. ........................................................................................... P43 Hemodynamic effects of spinal anesthesia (SPA) in patients with proximal femoral fracture Marcus Hellkvist, Sigridur Kalma, Erzsébet Bartha Department of Anesthesia and Intensive care, Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, and Karolinska Institutet, CLINTEC, Stockholm, Sweden Background: During our randomized controlled trial (RCT) on per- operative Goal Directed Haemodynamic Treatment (NCT01141894) in patients with hip fracture we observed that the routine group reduced the oxygen delivery index (DO2I) in average by 16 % (95% CI 15%; 21%). Aims: To explore the haemodynamic changes during the first 45 minutes after the SPA: 1. in the routine fluid group as a whole 2. in subgroups of patients with and without post-spinal hypotension Methods: Population: patients who were allocated to routine fluid regime during the RCT and were anaesthetized by SPA are included. Monitoring: LiDCOplus™ was used, but concealed to the clinician during the RCT. Data extraction: by the LiDCOviewPro software; data collected between the calibration of LiDCOplus™ (T0) and 45 minutes after SPA (T45) was used analysed. Mean values/minute were calculated. Missing values were generated by linear interpolation between the two closest values. Haemodynamic variables: MAP (mean arterial pressure), HR (heart rate), SVI (stroke volume index), CI (cardiac index ), DO2I (oxygen delivery index index), SVRI (systemic vascular resistance index). Statistical analyse: The haemodynamic changes were analyzed by ANOVA (one-way, repeated measures) by compensation of for multiple comparisons (Dunnett´s test). The level of significance was 0.05 (GraphPad Prism 6™). Results: We analyzed data of 64 patients: mean age 85 years; ASA-PS ≥3 in 70 %. In the whole group: MAP and SVRI reduced within 2–5 minutes; CI and DO2I reduced and SVRI increased after 23 minutes. The median DO2I reduction after 45 minutes was -17% (range: -100% +45 %). Subgroups with/without post-spinal hypotension: the post-spinal hypotension (n=48) was treated by phenylephrine, or ephedrine. The hemodynamic patterns of “no hypotension” were biphasic; of “hypotension” progressively declining. Given that the DO2I might be associated with negative outcomes, the treatment of post-spinal hypotension in this context needs research. ........................................................................................... Posterpresentation 6 Måndag 21/9 kl 17:45–19:00 Lokal: utställningen Moderatorer: Lill Bergenzaun, Lars Berggren P44 Variationen i antalet organdonationer per landsting minskar när hänsyn tas till donatorns hemvist Thomas Nolin, Caroline Mårdh, Göran Karlström och Sten Walther. Svenska Intensivvårdsregistret, SIR. Bakgrund: I direktiven till den pågående statliga utredningen om donations- och transplantationsfrågor konstateras att det finns stora skillnader mellan landstingen i antalet organdonationer. Syftet med denna analys var att se i vilken omfattning som skillnaderna kan förklaras av att organdonationer kommer till stånd utanför hemortens landsting. 43 Metod: Ur Svenska Intensivvårdsregistrets databas hämtades data från 2009–2014 för avlidna på IVA. De avlidna kategoriserades utifrån två perspektiv: vårdgivarperspektivet avsåg landsting där patienten avled och befolkningsperspektivet avsåg det landsting i vilken patienten hade sin hemvist. Hemvisten (folkbokföringsorten) bestämdes genom den avlidnes postnummer vid vårdtillfället på IVA. För båda perspektiven kategoriserades data så att den avlidne antingen ”tillhörde” det ”egna” landstinget eller ett ”annat” landsting. Studien genomfördes efter sedvanlig FoU ansökan och godkännande av regional etikprövningsnämnd. Variationen mellan landstingen beskrevs med variationskoefficienten (C.V. = medelvärdet/SD). Konklusioner: Resultat: Protokoll för 20 238 avlidna från 88 IVA analyserades. Efter Åsa Hällström att 61 st. avlidna med utländsk härkomst och 475 med okänt eller inget postnummer hade exkluderats (bortfall 2.4 %) återstod 19 701 utvärderingsbara protokoll (varav 810 var organdonatorer). För 18 226 (92,5 %) avlidna och 667 (82,3 %) organdonatorer sammanföll vårdgivar- och befolkningsperspektiven, dvs. vården skedde inom det ”egna” landstinget. För 1 475 (7,5 %) avlidna och 143 (17,7 %) organ donatorer ägde vården rum i ”annat” landsting än där den avlidne var folkbokförd. Variationskoefficienten beräknad utifrån ett vårdgivarperspektiv var 0,54 med variation från 3,6 till 31,3 organdonatorer per miljon invånare (pmp) och landsting. Ur ett befolkningsperspektiv var C.V. 0,31 med en relativ spridning från 6,9 till 27,7 pmp och landsting. Slutsats: Variationen i antalet organdonationer per landsting minskade när analysen gjordes ur ett befolkningsperspektiv jämfört med ett vårdgivarperspektiv. En avsevärd variation kvarstod som behöver analyseras. Den kan t.ex. bero på befolkningens ålderssammansättning, intagningskriterier för intensivvård eller avdelningarnas identifiering av möjliga organdonatorer. ........................................................................................... P45 Sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda en avliden organdonator under donationsprocessen på operationsavdelning. Maria Hellström, Maria Söderström ANOPIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Sammanfattning Introduktion: Vid omhändertagande av en avliden organdonator under donationsprocessen på operation, ställs sjuksköterskor inför olika känslomässiga konflikter och dilemman. Det är svårt för sjuksköterskorna att förstå donatorn är död då kroppen är varm och ser levande ut. En organdonation är omfattande och innebär stor kirurgi i snabbt tempo, som utförs tillsammans med ett eller flera transplantationsteam, oftast från andra sjukhus. Detta gör att donationsprocessen på operation är en speciell upplevelse för sjuksköterskor. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda en avliden organdonator under donationsprocessen på operationsavdelning. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie där åtta kvalitativa artiklar och två med kvantitativ ansats analyserades. Resultat: Sjuksköterskors upplevelser är att det är en stressande och känslomässig situation att vårda en avliden organdonator under donationsprocessen på operation. Det är en lång process som startar innan donatorn anländer till operationsavdelningen och kan sträcka sig lång tid efter för sjuksköterskan. 44 En organdonation är en känslomässig och stressande situation för sjuksköterskor. Behovet av utbildning i hjärndödsdiagnostik och donationsprocessen i stort var något som önskades . Återkoppling om de donerade organens funktion var något som upplevdes som positivt och önskades i högre grad. ........................................................................................... P46 Tidig identifiering av etiska frågeställningar hos den intensivvårdade patienten Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset Huddinge, Intensivvårdsavdelning B46 Patienterna på intensivvårdsavdelningen (IVA) är kritiskt sjuka och har ofta ett livshotande tillstånd. Vården av dessa patienter är många gånger komplex, vilket leder till etiskt svåra situationer som personalen ställs inför. Hösten 2012 fick jag och min kollega i vår etikgrupp uppdrag från avdelningens ledningsgrupp att ta fram en arbetsform för att tidigt identifiera etiska problem hos patienter som vårdas på IVA. Detta resulterade i framtagande av ”Etisk rond på IVA”. Den etiska ronden är ett tillfälle där teamet kring patienten belyser och diskuterar etiska frågeställningar kring patientens vård. Det kan innebära diskussion kring behandlingsbegränsning, fortsatt vård och behandling, bemötande av närstående eller patientens möjlighet att behålla sin autonomi. Det är av vikt att diskussionen kretsar kring den aktuella etiska frågeställningen och att argumentationen utgår från den etiska plattformen för hälso- och sjukvården samt Karolinska Universitetssjukhusets etikpolicy. Etisk rond ska hållas när patienten vårdats i ca en vecka på IVA med en förväntad vårdtid på ytterligare en vecka eller vid behov. Närvarande vid ronden är patientansvarig specialistläkare, planeringsansvarig sjuksköterska och undersköterska med god kännedom om patienten. Ytterligare personal med god kännedom om patienten kan kallas in vid behov. Teamet identifierar en eller flera etiska frågeställningar och lyfter dessa i en interprofessionell diskussion. Teamet tar ett gemensamt beslut om hur den etiska frågeställningen ska lösas. Vid behov kan andra resurser, till exempel fysioterapeut eller kurator, kallas in för att ge andra handlingsalternativ eller för att gå vidare med en etisk analys. Den etiska ronden syftar till att teamet gemensamt, förutsättningslöst och icke-hierarkiskt ska diskutera de etiska frågeställningarna som uppstår kring patientens vårdsituation. Utvärdering av arbetssättet har visat att personalen anser att den etiska ronden är ett hjälpmedel för de att belysa de etiska frågeställningarna och att det kan vara ett sätt att minska lidande för patienten och att förstärka patientens autonomi. ........................................................................................... P47 How are paediatric anaesthesia-related adverse events reported at university hospitals in the Nordic countries? Mattsson, Per1, Hanke, G2., Vieri, J3., Ulvik, A.4 1 Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, 2Altonaer Kinderkrankenhaus, Hamburg, Germany, 3Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland, 4Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway. Paediatric Anaesthesia Training Program Introduction: Reporting of adverse events in healthcare may play a key role in learning from mistakes and thus improve patient safety. The aim of the present study was to investigate how adverse events in paediatric anaesthesia are reported at university hospitals in the Nordic countries. Methods: The heads of anaesthesia departments at all Nordic university hospitals were asked to answer a questionnaire concerning reporting of adverse events in 2013. The data was collected by email and tele phone. Results: Of 32 eligible hospitals 30 (93.8%) answered the questionnaire. All the hospitals had at least one written system for reporting of adverse events. Twenty different systems were used. Seven systems were anaesthesia-specific. None of the systems was specifically designed for reporting of adverse events in paediatric anaesthesia. Reported adverse events ranged from 4 to 147 (median 35). Physicians, nurses, other staff and relatives were able to report. Twenty-one (70.0%) of the departments were not able to report the number of paediatric anaesthesia-related adverse events. Laryngospasm, hypoxia, and intubation difficulties were the most frequently reported adverse events in children. Minor injuries and near misses were considered underreported. Conclusions: A large number of systems for reporting adverse events is used in the Nordic university hospitals. Most of the heads of the anaesthesia departments were not aware of the type and frequency of adverse events, but consider them to be underreported. A uniform validated anaesthesia-specific reporting system should be implemented in all Nordic countries in order to improve future quality of reporting adverse events. ........................................................................................... P48 Finns det könsfördelar för kvinnor inom traumatologin i Sverige? Larsen R, Sjöberg AnOpIva, Universitetssjukhuset, Linköping I djurstudier är det upprepade gånger visat att det finns en överlevnadsfördel för kvinnligt kön vid både trauma och sepsis. Två förklaringsmodeller är vanligt förekommande; den ena som tillskriver östrogen en skyddande effekt, den andra tillskriver de dubbla X-kromosomerna överlevnadsfördelarna. I humanstudier har man dock inte kunnat påvisa detta övertygande annat än i mycket små kohorter. Multicenterstudier pågår för tillfället med att bland annat substituera traumapatienter med östrogen för att komma närmare svaret på frågan. Vi har gjort en riskjusterad traumadatabas av samtliga slutenvårdskrävande trauman i Sverige under åren 2001-2011 genom att kombinera slutenvårdsregistret och dödsorsaksregistret. Vi har sedan valt att specialstudera fallolyckor (som är den största bidragande orsaken till slutenvårdskrävande traumadödlighet), trafikolyckor och även övergrepp för att få tre helt olika grupper. Vi jämför dessa tre grupper mot resterande traumafall i databasen, då vi är övertygade om att traumapopulationen skiljer sig från resterande befolkning, och får då två ben med ca en miljon patienter i var ben. För att få en korrekt riskjustering har vi gjort en International Classification of disease 10 Injury Severity Score (ICISS) modell med en huvuddiagnos och upp till nio bidiagnoser för att spegla att vi tror att multitrauma är dödligare än singeltrauma. Med hjälp av logistiska regressioner mot 30 dagars mortalitet kan vi inkludera kön, ålder, vårdtid och diagnosgrupper. Med ungefär lika stora grupper och riskjusterat på diagnoser kan vi med p-värden på under 0.000 hos vuxna få ut OR på 0,78 (CI 0,71– 0,86) till 0,51 (0,50–0,53) hos post menopaus, beroende på ålderskategori. Barn under 15 är det större osäkerhet i. Detta tolkar vi som att de dubbla X-kromosomerna har en tydlig inverkan på överlevnaden snarare än att det är östrogenbetingat. Dock verkar effekten inte vara helt säker för barn. ........................................................................................... P49 Uppdaterad information om CAN-studien (Cancer and Anaesthesia). Mats Enlund Operationskliniken, Västmanlands sjukhus, Västerås Spelar valet av anestesimedel roll för överlevnaden efter cancerkirurgi? Baserat på djurstudier är svaret ja. Flera möjliga mekanismer finns, var av samtliga tycks gälla för människor. Med denna bakgrund har flera välrenommerade centra i USA gått över från inhalationsbaserad anestesi till propofol-underhåll, vilket är essensen av djurstudierna. Rätt eller fel? Detta är i nuläget inte förenligt med att praktisera evidensbaserad medicin. Djurdata kan inte säkert överföras till människor, för vilka data saknas. Således krävs en kontrollerad, randomiserad studie. I CAN-studien randomiseras patienter med bröst- eller kolorektalcancer till anestesiunderhåll med antingen sevofluran eller propofol. Tänkbara mekanismer för att förklara hypotesen att propofol ”skyddar” från recidiv och/eller metastasering jämfört sevofluran: • Diametralt motsatta effekter på olika komponenter i immunsystemet; sevofluran är sammantaget proinflammatoriskt, propfol är antiinflammatoriskt. • Diametralt motsatta effekter på DNA; sevofluran ger DNA-skada, propofol är inert. • Diametralt motsatta effekter på transkriptionsfaktorn HypoxiaInducible Factor (en cancercellernas försvarsmekanism); sevofluran uppreglerar faktorn, propofol är inert eller möjligen nedreglerande. Fakta: • Beslut från EPN (Uppsala): 2013-08-14, Dnr 2013/314. • Beslut från Läkemedelsverket: 2013-08-16, Eu-nr 2013-00238025, Dnr 5.1-2013-64999. • Registrering ClinicalTrials.gov: 2013-11-02, NCT01975064. Vad har hänt sedan CAN-studien beskrevs vid förra årets SFAI-möte i Jönköping? Förutom vid anestesikliniken i Västerås bedrivs studien i Lund, Linköping, Örebro, Kalmar, Uppsala, Skellefteå och Wroclaw. Klinker i Dublin och Peking är på gång. Det sammanlagda antalet inkluderade patienter var 446 i slutet av april. De första patienterna, av de 8000 (inkl. marginal) som behövs, inkluderades november 2013. Vi håller nu att glida över från ett stadium av ”feasibility study” till ”full inclusion”. Projektets organisation fungerar, central liksom lokalt och hos den monitorerande organisationen, Uppsala Clinical Research Centre. Vår elektroniska CRF fungerar och är nu översatt till engelska. De svaga punkterna är att det behövs någon eller några kliniker ytterligare, och finansieringen är inte fullständig. En realistisk bedömning är att bägge punkterna kommer att uppfyllas. ........................................................................................... 45 P50 Academic performance after anesthesia and surgery during childhood: a large-scale nationwide study P. Glatz, R. H. Sandin, N. L. Pedersen, AK Bonamy, L. I. Eriksson, F. N. Granath Anestesi- och intensivvårdskliniken, Länssjukhuset Kalmar Background and Aim: While preclinical studies suggest that exposure to general anesthetics during infancy leads to increased neuronal apoptosis and later neurocognitive impairment1, there is contradictory information from human studies aiming to translate preclinical findings into outcome studies of children exposed to anesthesia and surgery before age 4 years2. Method: Among 2 million children born in Sweden 1973–93, we identified 33,514 children who had one single surgical procedure before age 4 years and no subsequent hospitalization; and 161,731 unexposed control children matched for sex, place of birth, and year and month of birth. This primary cohort was combined with an array of national health care databases and registries of school achievements to determine the association between childhood exposure to anesthesia and surgery and later academic performance. Results: There was no detectable difference in school results at age 16 with one exposure at any of the younger age intervals 0-6 months, 7–12 or 13–24 months. A minor difference (0.79 %, 95% CI 0.25– 1.33) in academic performance was found in children exposed at 3–4 years of age, which disappeared when the ear-nose-throat and urology surgery groups were excluded. When pooling all age intervals 0–4 years, children having one exposure had 0.40 % lower average marks at age 16 years (p< 0.001) and those exposed two or ≥3 times had 1.40 %, and 1.82 % lower average marks, respectively. To put the minimal difference in school results into context, the data were compared to other variables known to affect school results such as gender, month of birth and mothers’ educational level. In general, effects of these variables were several orders of magnitude greater than the effects of exposure to anesthesia and surgery. Conclusion: Exposure to anesthesia and surgery does not constitute a public health problem and there is no reason to postpone imperative surgery during early childhood due to fear for potentially negative impact on later academic performance.

Posterpresentation 7 (ST-projekt) Tisdag 22/9 kl 12:00–13:30 Lokal: utställningen Moderatorer: Kristina Hambraeus Jonzon, Mikael Bodelsson P51 Intensivvård av patienter med ALS i Stockholms Läns Landsting 2005-14 O. Ankarcrona, J. Jakobsson Anestesi- och Intensivvårdskliniken, Danderyds Sjukhus Det tycks i Sverige under de senaste 10 åren ha skett ett skifte i inställningen till trakeotomi hos ALS-patienter. Mekanisk ventilation för dock med sig en mängd dilemman av etisk, humanistisk och ekonomisk art. En systematisk genomgång av data på svenskt material har så vitt vi känner till inte gjorts. Syftet med studien var att • Undersöka utvecklingen inom SLL 2005-14 avseende trakeotomi av ALS-patienter. • Kartlägga skedet när planerad eller akut trakeotomi aktualiseras. Totalt har 32 ALS-patienter vårdats på IVA under studietiden; 18 av dessa trakeotomerades och bland dem skedde det planerat för hälften (9 patienter) och akut för hälften (9 patienter). Nio (9) patienter intuberades utan att senare trakeotomeras. Av dessa avled 6 personer och 3 överlevde till utskrivning från IVA. Antalet ALS patienter som trakeotomeras har ökat i SLL. Med reservation för att det rör sig om ett litet patientmaterial tycks en skillnad finnas mellan de första åren 2005–06 då ingen trakeotomerades, till de 2011–14 då i snitt 3 patienter trakeotomerats per år. 2014 utmärker sig som det första år då 3 planerade trakeotomier genomfördes. Relativt fler män än kvinnor trakeotomeras. Medelåldern för trakeotomi är <60 år, vilket är i överensstämmelse med internationell forskning avseende vilka patienter som gagnas av ingreppet. Skillnaden i medelålder mellan dem som trakeotomeras planerat och de som inte trakeotomeras är 21,1 år (47,7 resp. 68,8 år). Avseende IVA-vård finns stora variationer mellan åren. Variationerna beror dels på en ökning av antalet patienter som trakeotomeras, dels på den postoperativa planeringen. IVA-vårdtiden har fallit under åren 2010-14, vilket sammanfaller med att andelen planerade trakeotomier ökat. Vårdkedjan har därmed fungerat och IVA-vårdtiden blir kort. Antalet återinläggningar av ALS-patienter är lågt. Sammanfattningsvis är det ett fåtal men ökande antal ALS-patienter som trakeotomeras. För såväl patient som vårdgivare är det angeläget att det genomförs planerat. ........................................................................................... 46 P52 CASE REPORTS– Chronic adhesive arachnoiditis after repeat epidural blood patch C. Carlswärd, MD1, B. Darvish, MD, DESA2,3, J. Tunelli, MD2, L. Irestedt, MD, PhD2 Department of Anesthesiology, Capio St Görans Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, 2Department of Anesthesiology, Surgical Services and Intensive Care Medicine, Karolinska University Hospital, Solna, Stockholm, Sweden, 3School of Medicine and Health Science, Örebro University, Sweden 1 Epidural blood patch (EBP) is an efficient treatment for post dural puncture headache (PDPH). Despite its efficiency there are some potential risks with EBP. Arachnoiditis is a very rare disabling condition and few cases have been described following EBP. We present a case of Chronic Adhesive Arachnoiditis (CAA) in a parturient treated with repeat EBP. A healthy 29-year old female had an accidental dural puncture following epidural insertion. The first EBP as part of treatment of her PDPH was ineffective and therefore she received a second EBP. She gradually developed severe neurological symptoms consistent with arachnoiditis confirmed with MRI. Despite intensive multimodal treatment with analgesics and physiotherapy, her neurological condition is still precarious two years later. We would like to warn the readers about a serious but rare complication following repeat EBP, and encourage caution when treating PDPH with repeat EBP in parturients. ........................................................................................... P53 Sömnapnéförekomst bland patienter som opereras för kolorektalcancer Claesson M1, Franklin KA1, Jonsson Fagerlund M2 Kirurgiska och perioperativa vetenskaper, Avd för Kirurgi, Umeå Universitet, 2Inst för Fysiologi och Farmakologi, Sektionen för Anestesi och Intensivvård, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm 1 Introduktion: Obstruktiv sömnapné diagnosticeras när det finns i medel andningsuppehåll per timme sömn = apné-hypopné index >5 åtföljd av hypoxi. Patienter med obstruktiv sömnapné har en ökad risk för hjärt-kärlsjukdom, tidig död samt en ökad risk för postoperativ hypoxi och sårinfektioner efter ortopedisk kirurgi. Ålder och övervikt är riskfaktorer för både kolorektalcancer och sömnapné. Vi avsåg att undersöka förekomsten av sömnapné bland patienter med kolorektalcancer, eftersom den är okänd. Metod: Femtio patienter varav 16 kvinnor med kolorektalcancer medel ålder 69 ± 11 år, BMI 26 ± 4 kg/m2 inkluderades. De gjorde sömnapnéutredning med polysomnografi där andning, EEG, pulsoximetri mm registrerades kontinuerligt under natten före operation. Resultat: Fyrtioen av femtio patienter (82%) hade sömnapné. Fyrtio procent hade mild sömnapné med 5-15 apnéer/ timme sömn, 28% hade måttlig sömnapné och 14% grav sömnapné med mer än 30 apnéer per timme sömn. Patienterna sov i genomsnitt 41% av tiden i ryggläge. I ryggläge hade de i medel 29 ± 22 apnéer per timme sömn mot 8 ± 9 i sidoläge. ingen tidigare undersökt population där sömnapné är så vanligt som vid kolorektalcancer. Delvis kan den höga förekomsten förklaras av ålder och övervikt, men det är ännu oklart varför sömnapné är så vanligt vid kolorektalcancer och vilken betydelse det har för dessa patienter. ........................................................................................... P54 Can we predict who will benefit from non-invasive ventilation in hypoxemic acute respiratory failure? Apostolos Genaridis, Lars Engerström, Johan Berkius, Carl-Johan Wickerts, Sten Walther Swedish Intensive Care Registry Background: The increasing early use of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) in patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (HARF) is controversial 1. Successful NIV is associated with shorter length of stay and improved survival compared to initial invasive ventilation (InvV), while failed NIV was recently found associated with lower survival than initial InvV 2. The purpose of the present study was to identify predictors of NIV failure that were present on admission to ICU. Material and Methods: We examined the use of initial ventilator support in records of patients with HARF who were admitted to 66 Swedish ICUs during 2008-2014. Exclusions were age<16 yrs, patients with COPD, and when oxygenation or ventilation support data were missing. NIV failure was defined as transition to InvV within 24 hrs. Patients dying in ICU without receiving InvV were excluded as they were likely to have preexisting limits on the use of invasive mechanical ventilation. Variables that were present on admission to ICU and considered important were used to build NIV failure prediction models. Model fit is presented as the c-statistic and McFadden’s pseudo R2. Results: We identified 4,990 admissions with HARF, 1,561 failed NIV and were intubated within 24 hrs after start of NIV. Patient age, gender, presence of comorbidities, circumstances on admission and SAPS3 scores differed significantly between patients with successful or failed NIV (P<0.01 for all variables). Results of the model building are shown in the table below. Model Variables c R2 A SAPS3 score 3 0,62 0,03 B SAPS3 score 3, gender 0,62 0,03 C Gender, age, comorbidity score 3, Box II 3 and Box III 3 0,67 0,07 D Gender, age, comorbidity score 3, route and reasons for ICU admission 3 and Box III 3 0,71 0,10 E Gender, age, comorbidity score 3, route and reason for ICU admission 3, PaO2/FiO2, pH and RLS85 on admission 0,71 0,11 Conclusion: The prediction models that were built based on information that was present on admission to ICU performed poorly. Additional information collected during the first hours in ICU may be one way to improve model performance. Konklusion: Sömnapné är ytterst vanligt bland patienter som skall opereras för kolorektalcancer. Detta är ett helt nytt fynd och det finns 47 References 1.

Aim: To describe hemodynamic changes during spinal anesthesia in elderly at hypotension and non-hypotension after SPA in a prospective study. P55 Materials and methods: Dept of Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Karolinska University Hospital, Solna 20 patients, >65 years, undergoing elective arthroplasty. Monitoring: LiDCOplus™. Data collection: at baseline and until 45 minutes after spinal anesthesia. Standard fluid and vasopressor treatment: pre-spinal fluid loading with Ringer’s acetate 0-500ml, Buffered Glucose 25 mg ml-1, 1ml-1kg-1h1, Ringer’s acetate, 2ml kg-1 h-1, use of vasoactive agents at the discretion of the anesthetist. Hypotension was defined as SBP <100mmHg or >30% decrease from baseline. Background: Results: Intraoperative hypotension is associated with myocardial damage in non-cardiac surgery Linn Hallqvist Perioperative myocardial damage and infarction (MI) are associated with increased mortality and other postoperative complications. The study objectives were to investigate how intraoperative events, with focus on hypotension, were related to perioperative myocardial damage, as detected by the novel high-sensitivity troponin-T (hs-cTnT). Moreover, we assessed if these intraoperative events were related to perioperative myocardial infarction. Methods: In this observational cohort study of all patients undergoing major elective noncardiac surgery who required an overnight admission at the post operative unit at the Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, between October 2012 and May 2013, preoperative risk factors (comorbidities), intraoperative events (hypotension defined as a 50% decrease in systolic blood pressure relative each patient’s baseline and lasting > 5 min) and postoperative data were collected from medical records. Levels of hs-cTnT were measured on postoperative day 1. Myocardial damage was defined as an increase in the hs-cTnT value above 14 ng/l. Cases of MI within 30 days after surgery were adjucated by a cardiologist. Results: Of the final cohort of 300 patients, 34 (12%) had intraoper- ative hypotension, 90 (30%) had myocardial damage on postoperative day 1 and 15 (5%) developed MI within 30 days. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that an intraoperative hypotensive event >50% (OR, 4.4; 95% CI 1.8-11.1) was an independent predictor of postoperative hs-cTnT elevation. Conclusions: In patients undergoing major elective noncardiac surgery, there is an association between an intraoperative fall in systolic blood pressure >50% from baseline and the novel hs-cTnT biomarker measured postoperatively. ........................................................................................... P56 Hemodynamic changes during spinal anesthesia in the elderly- a prospective observational pilot study in patients undergoing elective arthroplasty Julia Jakobsson, Sigridur Kalman, Marge Lindeberg-Lindvet, Erszébet Bartha AnOpIVA, Karolinska Huddinge Background: A post-hoc analysis of our RCT on goal-directed hemodynamic therapy in elderly patients with hip fracture revealed an unexpected reduction of SVI (stroke volume index) before surgery in 48 After pre-spinal fluid preloading, SVI decreased by 12.7±7.1%(mean±SD) in 19/20 patients. Hemoglobin decreased from 131±10 g/L to 121±12 g/L. Patients developing hypotension after SPA had a higher heart rate(73±10 vs 60±12) and a lower SVI(38±8 vs 48±10) at baseline compared to non-hypotensive. CI(cardiac index) and DO2I (oxygen delivery index) decreased progressively in hypotensive while reduction in SVRI(systemic vascular resistance index) was similar in both groups. Conclusions: Based on these observations, further studies should focus on: 1. Baseline SVI and HR as possible predictors of postspinal hypotension. 2. Effects of fluid pre- and coloading during spinal anesthesia in the elderly. 3. Reduction of cardiac and oxygen delivery index in the context of perioperative oxygen consumption. References: 1.

P57 Accuracy of stroke volume estimation. Oesophageal Dopplear compared to cardiac magnetic resonance Johansson Patrik Anestesi- och operationskliniken, Universitetssjukhuset, Linköping Introduction: The CardioQ® oesophageal Doppler (OD) is used in the clinical setting for estimating and monitoring hemodynamics and for guiding fluid replacement therapy. Studies have shown clinical agreement between OD and thermodilution via pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) for hemodynamic trends, but also indicated that OD lacks in accuracy and precision. Since PAC is less frequently used, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has instead become the non-invasive gold standard for measurement of hemodynamic variables. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of estimation of stroke volume (SV) by OD, using CMR as reference method. Method: The study population consisted of 19 healthy subjects (10 females) aged 20-30 years. In each subject SV was measured by OD followed by CMR. Agreement in SV estimation between the methods was analyzed using the Bland-Altman method, difference in SV between methods was calculated using the t-test, and Pearson’s formula was used to calculate correlation between the methods. SV measured by OD was significantly lower compared to CMR. Bland-Altman plot showed broad limits of agreement (LOA) for all subjects (bias -26 mL, LOA ± 28 mL, percentage error 57 %), male subjects (bias -36 mL, LOA ± 26 mL percentage error 69 %), and female subjects (bias -16 mL, LOA ± 14 mL, percentage error 20 %). There was a negative correlation between OD and CMR (i.e. with larger CMR-measured SV, the more OD underestimated SV). P59 Conclusions: Compared to CMR, the CardioQ®/OD-technique significantly underestimates SV in young, healthy subjects. The underestimation by OD correlates to the size of SV. Further studies of SV are suggested, comparing OD to CMR in different age groups.

P58 Definition av en välfungerande/icke optimal epidural Camilla Linnarsson, Sigga Kalman, Erzsébet Bartha AnOpIva, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Huddinge Bakgrund: På KS/Huddinge läggs ca 760 thorakala epiduralkatetrar (EDA) varje år för postoperativ smärtlindring efter stor kirurgi. Den postoperativa smärtenheten har i sitt uppdrag bl. annat att följa upp och kvalitetssäkra epiduralsmärtlindring. Vårt mål var att föreslå definition(er) för välfungerande respektive icke optimalt fungerande EDA som kan användas för kvalitetssäkring. Metod: Initialt gjordes en systematisk litteraturgenomgång (PICO) för att se vilka definition(er) som används (t.ex. behandlingslängd, smärtnivå). Dessa definitioner användes sedan för att skapa frågor till en webbaserad enkät som skickades ut till anestesiologer, specialistutbildade sjuksköterskor på postoperativa smärtenheten samt till kirurger (övre buk kirurgi). Resultat: Viktiga behandlingsmål med en välfungerande epidural var smärtskattning, NRS i vila < 3 (enligt 98 % av de tillfrågade var NRS < 3 en rimlig smärtnivå) och behandlingslängd, dock olika längd (antal dagar) för olika ingrepp. Definitioner av en icke optimalt fungerande epidural (enligt 68–80 % av de tillfrågade), var smärtskattning NRS > 3, behov av PCA (patientkontrollerad analgesi) inom 48 h, behov av ny epidural (oavsett orsak) samt inadekvat täckning. Diskussion: Med tanke på det stora antalet epiduraler, har den post operativa smärtenheten en hög arbetsbelastning. Det är viktigt att koncentrera uppföljningsverksamheten till områden där nyttan är störst ur ett patientperspektiv. Vi föreslår att kvalitetsuppföljningens mål i första hand är att identifiera icke optimalt fungerande EDA så tidigt som möjligt. Dessa bör optimeras, konverteras till en annan smärtlindringsstrategi, alternativt få en ny EDA. Som kvalitetsindikator föreslår vi att använda antalet (%) av patienter som behöver PCA (eller annan metod) eller ny epidural inom 48 h. Med en sådan kvalitetsindikator kan eventuella problemgrupper identifieras och förbättringsarbete inriktas. Vår undersökning begränsades till professionens åsikter, även patienter bör intervjuas för att definiera patientrelaterade kvalitetsindikatorer. ........................................................................................... Clinical outcome in patients >10-years after a severe traumatic brain injury, (sTBI). Andersson Emma, Svanborg Emma, Öst Martin, Csajbok Ludvig, Nellgård Bengt and Nellgård Per Severe TBI is the single highest fatality diagnosis among young adults. The Lund Concept (LC) is used to treat sTBI in some hospitals of Sweden. As no prospective study has explored outcome >10 years following sTBI in adults we initiated this study. Patients were included from 2000-2004 if having a sTBI (i.e. Glasgow Coma Scale < 9) and treated with LC protocol. In this cohort of patients >10 years (range 11-15) post-trauma, survival was noted and outcome in survivors was assessed with the S-GOS 04 questionnaire, with patients or next-of-kin. The questionnaire was transformed into Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) 1-5; (1=dead to 5=good recovery). 100 patients, (women, n=27; men, n=73), met the inclusion criteria. Patients had a median age at trauma of 38 years, (range 8-81). Mortality from study enclosure to present was 35% (n= 35, GOS 1). Totally 57 of 65 patients or next-of-kin could be contacted to answer the questionnaire, representing: GOS 2 (n=0); GOS 3, (n=15); GOS 4, (n=29) and GOS 5, (n=13). We demonstrated increased mortality from 1-year (15%) to >10 years (35%) post-trauma. Outcome in surviving patients at 1-year vs. >10 years post-trauma was dichotomized into Favorable (GOS 4-5) or Poor (GOS 2-3). Poor outcome at 1-year decreased from 32% to 26%, while Favorable outcome increased from 52% at 1-year to 56% at >10 years post-trauma. The results demonstrate, on cohort-basis, a doubling of mortality from 1-year to >10 years post-injury. In surviving patients a slight improvement over time is also noted. These results confirm that the LC treatment protocol improves outcome even on long-term basis after sTBI. ...........................................................................................

Esophageal pressure, which is used as a surrogate for pleural pressure is notoriously unreliable for determining absolute pressure, 49 i.e. end-expiratory esophageal pressure, because of extra-pleural effects on measurements. Methods: We have built a respiratory system model with a recoiling elastic lung and an expansive chest wall complex (rib cage, diaphragm and abdominal container): P61 The Chest Wall has Minimal Protecting Effect on the Lungs in Situations with High Airway Pressures T. Johansson1, A. Larsson1, O. Stenqvist2, S. Lundin2 Uppsala University, Uppsala, 2Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg 1 Background: Upper inflexion point (UIP) on a pressure-volume (PV) curve of the respiratory system indicates the airway pressure where the elastance of the respiratory system (Ers) increases steeply. However, on an ordinary PV curve it is not clear whether this increase is mainly due to distension of the lung or to restriction of chest wall expansion. In the latter case, the chest wall would protect the lung against high pressure by preventing an increase in transpulmonary pressure (Ptr). Therefore, we investigated the PV-relations of the lung, chest wall and respiratory system during a slow inspiration until pneumothorax occurred in lungs from piglets during different conditions. Methods: 10 anesthetized and mechanically ventilated piglets (25-30 kg) were subjected to hydroperitoneum (3 L starch-solution infused intra-peritoneally) that in 5 animals was combined with lung lavage (30 ml saline/kg, repeated until P/F < 200 mmHg). An esophageal balloon catheter was introduced for esophageal pressure (Pes) measurement. The tracheal tube was connected to the measurement device for registration of PV-curves using slow interrupted insufflation1. The lungs were insufflated from ZEEP to an airway pressure (Paw) where the PV curve indicated pneumothorax. Paw, Pes, and Ptr at UIP and similar pressures when pneumothorax occurred were recorded. Ers ,Ecw and lung elastance (EL) were obtained as the steepest slope below and above UIP. Results: At UIP Paw, Ptr and Pes were 60±14, 44±10, and 14±6 cmH2O, respectively, while similar pressures when pneumothorax occurred were 103±10, 84±11, and 16±6 cmH2O. There was no difference between Ecw below or above UIP; 7±4 cmH20/L. The increase in Pes was 2,3±1,4 cmH2O from UIP to pneumothorax, while Paw and Ptr increased with 43±14 and 41±14 cmH2O, respectively. The model was ventilated in volume control mode with a tidal volume of 300 ml. PEEP was increased from ZEEP to 3, 4, 6, and 9 cmH2O with baseline normal and stiff chest wall complex (achieved by enforcing the tank wall), while airway and “pleural” pressure was measured and ΔEELV determined by spirometry. Result: End-expiratory “pleural” pressure (green) increased during the first expiration, but then declined back to baseline level, while end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure (blue) increased until it equaled the change in end-expiratory airway (red) (ΔPEEP). Conclusion: As end-expiratory “pleural” pressure remains unchanged when changing PEEP, the end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure changes as much as PEEP is changed and as a consequence lung compliance can be determined as ΔEELV/ΔPEEP. ........................................................................................... 50 Conclusion: In this experiment, despite a high intra-abdominal pressure, the chest wall had a minimal lung protective effect.

Measurements of tidal volume, airway and esophageal (Pes) pressures, end-expiratory lung volume, EELV at PEEP of 0,5,10, and 15cmH2O and registration of V-P relations of the lung using slow interrupted insufflation/desufflation from/ to ZEEP to/from 40 cmH2O airway pressure were performed. Lung elastance (EL) was obtained as the steepest slope of the expiratory part of the transpulmonary PV-curve and Ers-PEEP was calculated. Methods: 10 anesthetized, paralyzed and mechanically ventilated piglets were subjected to either hydroperitoneum (3 L starch-solution intra-peritoneally) and/or lung lavage (30 ml isotonic saline/kg, repeated until P/F < 200 mmHg). Measurements of VT, airway (Paw) and esophageal (Pes) pressures, end-expiratory lung volume, EELV at PEEP 0,5,10,15 and 20cmH2O and registration of P-V relations of the respiratory system (Ers), lung (EL) and chest wall (Ecw) using slow interrupted insufflation/desufflation from ZEEP to 40cmH2O in airway pressure were performed. Ers, EL, Ecw were defined as the steepest slopes of the expiratory part of the respective curves. Ers-VT was calculated as: (End-inspiratory plateau pressure - PEEP)/VT, and EL-VT was calculated subtracting corresponding Pes. Ers- PEEP and EL-PEEP were calculated as the airway and transpulmonary pressure differences between two adjacent PEEP/EELV levels. Results: Results: See table. The correlation (R-squared) between the breath-de- Can Lung Elastance be Estimated Without the Use of Esophageal Catheter? It has been suggested that the chest wall extends the lungs up to about 80% of total lung capacity, chest wall elastance at lung volumes below this value would be minor1. This implicates that the pleural end-expiratory pressure would only be affected by the weight of the abdomen2 and be similar at different lung volumes independent of end-expiratory airway pressures. We have previously found that elastance obtained from end-expiratory lung volume differences (ΔEELV) at two adjacent PEEP levels (PEEP-step method) were identical to lung elastance obtained with esophageal pressure (Pes) measurements3. In theory, the locations of the different EELV/PEEP –points would follow the expiratory portion of a full transpulmonary pressure– volume (PV)-loop. Therefore, in this study we compared the PEEPstep method with the PV-curve method in different lung conditions. The R-squared between Ers-PEEP and the expiratory PVcurve-derived EL at similar pressure values was 0.44 with a regression equation: EL(cmH2O/l) = -1+ 1.05 x Ers-PEEP. Bland & Altman showed a bias of 0.0, with an agreement of ±37cmH2O/l. Conclusion: Elastance values obtained by the PEEP-step method were closely related with lung elastance values obtained from a full PVcurve. This suggests that with the PEEP step method, lung elastance might be estimated without esophageal pressure measurements. Different Estimates of Respiratory Elastance. How Do They Relate? Uppsala University, Uppsala/SE, 2Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Goteborg/SE Lung elastance, breath-by-breath quasi-static elastance of the respiratory system and different elastance- values obtained from inspiratory or expiratory pressure-volume (PV) loops are commonly used as interchangeable entities. However, the relations between these parameters have not been investigated. We obtained full PV- loops of the lung-chest wall, breath-by-breath elastance of the respiratory system and lungs (Ers-VT, EL-VT) as well as elastance obtained from lung volume differences at two adjacent PEEP levels (Ers-PEEP, ELPEEP). rived (at PEEP 10 cmH2O) and expiratory PV- curve-derived elastance values were excellent and both were well correlated to EELV. However, Ers-VT was significantly higher than Ers (mean for all conditions 73±37 and 35±28 cmH2O/l, respectively, p<0.001). Conclusion: Breath-by-breath derived elastance values were significantly, around two times, higher but well correlated to those of the expiratory PV-curve. Elastance derived from the steepest part of the inspiratory PV-curve had only minor relation to tidal breath elastance. References: 1. J Appl Physiol 1968;25:664-71, 2.

In this bench test, we describe a simple technique to achieve isocapnia during hyperventilation by administering carbon dioxide (DCO2) to the inspiratory limb of the anaesthesia circuit using a standard anaesthesia apparatus with standard monitoring equipment. Carbon dioxide was added to a mechanical lung to simulate CO2 production (VCO2) and hyperventilation was achieved by doubling the minute ventilation and fresh gas flow. During hyperventilation, the amount of delivered CO2 needed to maintain isocapnia varied between 147±8 and 325±13 ml/min and the FICO2-level varied between 2.3 and 3.3 %, depending on CO2 production and dead-space. From known relationships between CO2 production, body weight and gender an estimation of delivered CO2 to maintain isocapnia during physiologic conditions could be made.

OSA has been identified as an important co-morbidity in the perioperative period, leading to adverse outcomes postoperatively. The prevalence of OSA is 9-24% in the general population and a large part of OSA patients are undiagnosed. Thus, it is likely that there are a significant number of patients with OSA in the intensive care unit (ICU). Aims: The overall aim was to explore the prevalence of OSA and patients at high risk for OSA in the ICU by using the STOP-BANG screening questionnaire and oxygen desaturation index post ICU. Material and Methods: Adult patients were recruited upon discharge from the intensive care unit. OSA-diagnosis, the STOP-BANG screening questionnaire and oxygen desaturation index derived from nocVCO2 turnal male awake VCO2 male 2 male pulse oximetry were used toDCO approximate the prevalence of OSA (ml/min) anaesthesia (ml/min) (ml/min) among intensive care patients. 147 125 354 165 140 322 38 patients were included. The prevalence of OSA was 188 160 285 13.2%, and 76.3% of the patients had 205 174 259 a high risk of OSA according to222 STOP-BANG. ODI patients negative at STOP189 was lower among 236 240 213 positive at STOP-BANG.

A positive result on STOP-BANG therefore merits further investigation. ........................................................................................... P66 Effekt på sömnapné, hypoxi och lungfunktion av öppen kirurgi av kolorektalcancer Franklin KA1, Claesson M1, Jonsson Fagerlund M2 Kirurgiska och perioperativa vetenskaper, Avd för Kirurgi, Umeå Universitet, 2Inst för Fysiologi och Farmakologi, Sektionen för Anestesi och Iintensivvård, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm 1 Presenterat på ESA Berlin 2015 ........................................................................................... 52 Introduktion: Ålder och övervikt är riskfaktorer för såväl kolorektal cancer som obstruktiv sömnapné. Atelektaser och andningsproblem är vanligt efter stor bukkirurgi men förekomst av sömnapné vid kolorektal cancer och hur sömnapné påverkas av öppen kirurgi är väsentligen okänt. Sömnapné diagnosticeras när det är mer än 5 andningsuppehåll per timme sömn (= apné-hypopné index, AHI >5). Vår målsättning var att undersöka hur sömnapné, syresättning, koldioxid och lungfunktion påverkas vid öppen kirurgi av kolorektalcancer. Metod: 28 patienter varav 8 kvinnor med kolorektalcancer inkluderades. De undersöktes med artärgas, lungfunktion och polysomnografisk sömnapnéutredning med bl.a. kontinuerlig mätning av andning, syresättning och EEG under natten före kirurgi och andra postoperativa natten. Resultat: Sömnapnéförekomsten var hög bland patienterna men det var ingen skillnad preoperativt (AHI: 19 ±15) och postoperativt (AHI: 17 ±23), däremot minskade apnéförekomsten signifikant i såväl rygg som sidoläge postoperativt. Apnéförekomsten var signifikant högre i ryggläge än i sidoläge och patienterna sov nästan dubbelt så mycket på rygg postoperativt (82±29%) jämfört med preoperativt (44 ±28%) p<0,001. Vitalkapaciteten minskade signifikant med 32% utan att PCO2 steg, däremot minskade PO2 signifikant med nästan 2 kPa postoperativt. Konklusion: Sömnapnéförekomsten är hög såväl före som efter kirurgi av kolorektalcancer, särskilt under tiden patienten sover på rygg. Sömnapnéförekomsten minskar i såväl sidoläge som i ryggläge postoperativt, men patienterna sover dubbelt så mycket på rygg postoperativt, vilket förklarar varför sömnapnéförekomsten är lika hög pre- som postoperativt. Sömnapné med intermittent hypoxi skulle teoretiskt sett kunna förebyggas om patienterna förhindrades att sova på rygg postoperativt. ...........................................................................................

Övervikt är en känd faktor kopplad till sömnapne syndrom. Syftet med denna studie är att med standardiserad sömnapnediagnostikutrustning studera förekomst av andningsstörning 1:a postoperativa natten. Metod: Studien är godkänd av Regionala Etikprövningsnämnden. atienter som planerats för elektiv bariatrisk operation vid N P orrtälje sjukhus inkluderades. Patienter som givit skriftligt medgivande genom gick operation och anestesi enligt klinikens gängse rutiner. Registreringen startades klockan 22 med konventionell nattregistreringsutrustning (EmblettaR). Thoraxband för att registrera bröstkorgsrörelse, pulsoximetri, nasalt flöde och andningsbiljud samlades automatiskt med utrustningen. Registreringen pågick till klockan 6 påföljande morgon. Andningen analyserades med Emblettas standardiserade tokningsprogram och eftergranskades. Apne/hypopne index (AHI), oxygendesaturations index (ODI), lägsta SpO2, samlades per patient förutom sedvanliga demografiska data. Resultat: Här redovisas nuvarande insamlade 16 patienter. Medel ålder 40 år, medel BMI 38; 33–49 (medel 107; 82–136kg). Medel operationstid 77 minuter och anestesitid 143 minuter. AHI medel 1,6; 0–9,5/h. ODI medel 3,8; 0–22,7/h. Medel SpO2 93; 88–97 %, Lägsta SpO2 87; 79–94 %. Längsta hypo/apne var knappt 2 minuter. Diskussion & sammanfattning: Förekomsten av andningsstörning första nätterna efter operation/anestesi är inte väl studerat. Olika grad av nattlig andningsstörning ökar i befolkningen, kopplat till ökande ålder och högt BMI. Det förefaller fullt möjligt att studera patienter med konventionell sömnapneutrustning redan första natten efter operation. Dessa initiala resultat visar att det förekommer nattlig andningsstörning efter bariatrisk kirurgi dock av relativt ringa grad. Det behövs ytterligare studier för att bättre kunna identifiera om det finns några speciella riskfaktor som medför ökad risk för alvarlig nattlig andningsstörning och hur man i sådant fall kan försöka förebygga dess uppkomst. Vi avser att studera 75 patienter för att få en bättre bild och planerar också prospektiva studier. Referens: Stierer TL. Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Sleep Disorders, and Perioperative Considerations.

P68 Kronisk invasiv ventilation hos vuxna i Stockholm Marie Roos, Klara Geisewall, Jan Jakobsson NRC Anestesi & Intensivvårdskliniken Danderyds sjukhus Bakgrund Oförmågan att andas, otillräcklig alveolär ventilation, kan orsakas av en rad sjukdomar och skador. Polio och Guillain–Barrés syndrom är exempel på sjukdomar som kan drabba andningsmuskulaturen. Neuromuskulära sjukdomar som amyotrofisk lateralskleros (ALS) och muskeldystrofier leder också till successiv andningsförlamning. Höga ryggmärgsskador och stroke ger varierande grad av andningssvikt, där andningsstöd i vissa fall kan bli aktuellt. Detta abstract vill belysa komplexiteten i det som kallas invasiv hemventilation, att leva med trakealkanyl och andningsstöd av ventilator i hemmet. Gruppen med patienter som har livsuppehållande andningsstöd kräver ofta IVA-vård vid försämring, akuta infektioner, och/eller när vården i hemmet med assistenter sviktar. Nationellt respirationscentrum Nationellt respirationscentrum (NRC) vid Danderyds sjukhus är en öppenvårdsmottagning som sedan 1970-talet och Gillis Anderssons pionjärinsatser vårdat patienter med invasivt andningsstöd i hemmet, utanför intensivvårds- och intermediärvårdsavdelning. I dag finns det knappt 60 patienter i Stockholms läns landsting med kronisk invasiv ventilation varav drygt 60 % är män och resten kvinnor. Över hälften av dessa patienter är helt beroende av sin ventilator dygnet runt, ca 1/3 är uppkopplade nattetid och bara 2 % behöver sin ventilator några få timmar/dag. Åldersintervallet har en stor spridning men den största gruppen finner man i intervallet 61–70 år följt av patienter som är mellan 51 och 60 år gamla. God, trygg och jämlik vård Att arbeta för god, trygg och jämlik vård för den lilla men resurskrävande och stadigt växande grupp av patienter med livsuppehållande andningsstöd ställer nya krav och väcker nya frågor. Vad är god vård, vad är säker vård, var ska vi sätta gränserna? Detta kräver samarbete mellan många medicinska discipliner men också med paramedicinare och personer med kompetens inom sjukförsäkring, kommun och social service. Dessa patienter kräver inte sällan IVA-vård i samband med akut försämring eller svikt i assistanshjälp. Vi ställs också inför frågor kring värdegrund, etik och hur man bäst ska utnyttja vårdens resurser. 53 Materials and methods: After ethical approval, adult patients were included into this prospective non-randomized observational study at their first visit to a sleep clinic. The patients answered the STOP-Bang screening questionnaire and underwent a portable polysomnography (PSG). Data are presented as mean ± SD for continous variables and median and range for categorical variables. Results: 203 patients with a mean age of 55 years, BMI of 30,5 and 56% male were included. 89 % of the patients were positive at STOP Bang and the median STOP-Bang score was 4 (3-6). An apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of >5 and >15 defining mild and moderate/severe OSA was seen in 72% and 41% of the patients, respectively. The mean AHI was 20 ± 22, oxygen desaturation index (ODI) 20 ± 20. There was a good correlation between the STOP Bang score and AHI. Conclusions: The STOP BANG screening questionnaire might be a useful screening tool in the sleep clinic. ...........................................................................................

Current screening tools are quite unspecific and the golden standard methodology for diagnosis, polysomnography (PSG), is expensive and time consuming, thus not suitable for screening. In perioperative medicine the STOP Bang screening questionnaire is currently the recomended screening tool, however this questionnaire has only been evaluated in a very limited numbers of sleep clinic patients. The STOP Bang questionnaire includes eight yes or no questions and yes to more than three items merits a positive result. Aim: Does the STOP Bang score correlate to OSA diagnosis at a sleep clinic? 54 P70 Hemodynamisk övervakning på IVA – en systematisk litteraturöversikt Erik Nyberg, Olof Wall, Maria Cronhjort, Eva Joelsson-Alm Anestesi/IVA, Södersjukhuset, Stockholm Bakgrund: Hemodynamisk monitorering i syfte att styra vätskeresuscitering hos intensivvårdspatienter har länge varit föremål för studier. Även om det i Surviving Sepsis Campaign rekommenderas hemo dynamisk övervakning vid sepsis1 så har värdet av detta ej tydligt kunnat visas i randomiserade studier. Tidigare stora studier på området har ofta undersökt hemodynamisk monitorering på akutrummet och inte i IVA miljö, och har dessutom haft motstridiga resultat2,3. Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturöversikt var att undersöka om en strukturerad algoritm för vätskeersättning – styrd av hemodynamisk övervakning – kan minska mortalitet under och efter intensivvård. Metod: Vi följde Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews. Artikel sökning har skett i PubMed, Embase samt i Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Inklusionskriterier: Randomiserade kontrollerade studier (RCT) av vuxna patienter på IVA där algoritmer för vätskeersättning styrda av hemodynamisk övervakning har studerats. Hemodynamisk övervakning definierades som minst ett av följande: mätning av hjärtminutvolym (CO), slagvolym (SV) slagvolymsvariation, syrgasleverans (DO2), centralvenös oxygenering (ScvO2) eller mixad venös oxygenering (SvO2). Studierna skall ha haft en kontrollgrupp utan hemodynamisk övervakning. Studier där interventionen inletts innan patienten befunnit sig på IVA exkluderades. Studierna har haft mortalitet som utfallsvariabel. Resultat: Litteratursökningen resulterade i 403 träffar på PubMed samt 113 träffar på Embase. Av dessa artiklar gick sedan 14 vidare till en första analys och av dessa kunde 5 studier inkluderas med de valda inklusionskriterierna. Två av dessa artiklar ströks sedan på grund av bristande kvalitet. De preliminära resultaten visar inte på någon skillnad i mortalitet mellan grupperna. Slutgiltiga resultat kommer att presenteras under SFAI-veckan 2015. Diskussion: Resultaten från denna litteraturgenomgång kommer tro- ligen inte att visa någon skillnad mellan hemodynamiskt styrda protokoll för vätskeresuscitering jämfört med konventionell vätsketerapi. Endast ett fåtal studier av tillräckligt god kvalitet kunde hittas, vilket talar för ett behov av flera, stora randomiserade studier i ämnet. Referenser: 1.

P71 Novel capnodynamic method for assessment of effective lung volume in intubated patients Tomas Öhman ANOPIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Introduction: Effective lung volume (ELV) equals the volume that participates in gas exchange. ELV can be calculated continuously in a capnodynamic equation and has been shown in animals to correlate well with functional residual capacity (FRC) using various reference methods. The aim of the current pilot study is to evaluate the ELV-method in mechanically ventilated patients. Method: A cyclic sequence of breaths with either inspiratory or expiratory holds alternated with normal breaths induces periodic changes in alveolar concentration of carbon dioxide. By integrating these variations into the capnodynamic equation, ELV is calculated. Effective lung volume will be measured in 30 healthy patients intubated and mechanically ventilated for surgery. ELV is measured in PEEP steps 0, 10 and 5 cmH2O. A reference method measuring FRC using a partial nitrogen wash in/out technique is used to get paired data at 0 and 5 PEEP. Results: ELV changes significantly in response to changes in PEEP from 0 to 10 and finaly 5 PEEP in both breathing patterns. The corresponding mean values of inspiratory group ELV were 1500, 2268 and 2074 mL respectively. Four-quadrant plot for the inspiratory hold breathing pattern showed a concordance rate of 92 %. Conclusion: For both breathing patterns, changes in PEEP levels resulted in expected variations in ELV. The inspiratory holds pattern showed superior trending capabilities as compared to the expiratory hold pattern. In absolute values the ELV method overestimates lung volumes in comparison with the FRC method in both breathing patterns, most notably in the expiratory hold group. P72 Modulation of expiratory diaphragmatic contraction preserve injured lung from end-expiratory collapse: experimental study. Mariangela Pellegrini1,2, Göran Hedenstierna3, Agneta Roneus1, Monica Segelsjö4, Anders Larsson1, Gaetano Perchiazzi1,2 Hedenstierna Laboratory – Department of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, 2Department of Emergency and Organ Transplant, Bari University, Bari, Italy, 3Hedenstierna Laboratory – Department of Medical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden. 4 Section of Radiology, Department of Surgical Sciences,Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden 1 Introduction: The diaphragm interacts with the respiratory system also during expiration. We hypothesized a modulation of the expiratory diaphragmatic tone aiming at counteracting the end-expiratory lung collapse during spontaneous breathing (SB). We studied this hypothesis by exploring the relation between the expiratory electrical diaphragmatic activity (EAdiexp), the trans-diaphragmatic pressure (Pdiexp) and the consequent variation of expiratory volume (Volexp) in a model of acute respiratory failure. Methods: Mild acute respiratory distress syndrome (PaO2/FiO2 of 250 mmHg) was induced in 7 anesthetized, tracheostomized pigs by repeated lung lavages. The animals underwent to either SB and muscle-relaxed controlled ventilation (MV). In both ventilatory conditions, a decremental sequence of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP/PEEP) was applied from 15 to 0 cmH2O, in steps of 3 cmH2O. For each studied PEEP/CPAP level, EAdiexp and Pdiexp were measured and their correlation was tested. The Volexp at 50% and 75% of expiratory time were also estimated. Results: When CPAP was decreased during SB conditions, EAdiexp increased until a CPAP of 9 cmH2O and then remained unaltered (although elevated) with further decrease in CPAP. EAdiexp and Pdiexp were tightly correlated as confirmed by an R2>0.82 (p<0.01). Lung volumes were comparable during SB and MV when exposed to the same CPAP/PEEP levels. Comparing the same CPAP/PEEP level, the Volexp at 50% and at 75% of expiratory time were higher during SB than during CMV, indicating a delayed emptying of the lungs in SB conditions. Conclusions: We demonstrated that the diaphragm has a braking effect during the whole expiration, preserving lung patency during SB in lungs otherwise prone to collapse. The possibility of monitoring expiratory EAdi can be the base for titrating CPAP in SB subjects undergoing mechanical ventilation.

E-post: Christina.T.Persson@skane.se 1 Introduktion: Svår sepsis/septisk chock är livshotande tillstånd som trots modern intensivvård har hög mortalitet (ca 20 %). CRP och PCT är biomarkörer som används för att monitorera sjukdomsförlopp, behandlingseffekt, komplikationer samt som beslutsstöd för att avgöra behandlingstid med antibiotika. CRP har långsammare kinetik än PCT, men PCT anses ha en starkare association till bakteriell infektion. Hep-25 är en akutfasreaktant som uppregleras vid inflammation och infektion vilket leder till sänkta järnnivåer i blodet. Ret-MCH påverkas vid svår sepsis/septisk chock då järnnivåerna i blodet är låga. Tidigare studier har visat förhöjda Hep-25 nivåer vid bakteriella infektioner såsom pneumoni, neonatal infektion men även vid hepatit, HIV och malaria. Studiesyftet var att jämföra Hep-25, Ret-MCH, CRP och PCT hos patienter med svår sepsis/septisk chock. Metod: Femton patienter, med IVA-krävande svår sepsis/septisk chock som vistats på sjukhus < 24 h inkluderades i pilotstudien vid Helsingborgs lasarett. Under 7 dygn togs studieprover, rutinprover samt daglig SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assesment) bedömning. Patienter ≤18 år, de som nyligen genomgått operativt ingrepp, eller erhållit blodtransfusion (<7 dagar) exkluderades. Resultat: Hep-25, CRP och PCT nivåerna var kraftigt förhöjda vid inklusion och sjönk under studietiden. Hep-25 och PCT uppvisade likartat mönster och sjönk 24 h före CRP-förändringen (Fig.1). Vid icke-septisk komplikation steg Hep-25 1–2 dygn tidigare än CRP, medan PCT-värdena inte påverkades utan fortsatte att sjunka (Fig.2). SOFA score vid intagning 10,0 (5.0,11.0) och 11 (8.0,14.3) efter 1 dygn. Ret-MCH fungerar inte för monitorering av sjukdomsförloppet p.g.a. sin långsammare dynamik. Konklusion: I denna hypotesgenererande pilotstudie på 15 patienter med intensivvårdskrävande svår sepsis/septisk chock uppvisade Hepcidin-25 (Hep-25) snabbare dynamik efter insatt antibiotikabehandling jämfört med C-reaktivt protein (CRP), men med likartat mönster som procalcitonin (PCT). Patienter med komplikation efter den initiala förbättringen uppvisade stigande Hep-25 nivåer ett dygn tidigare än CRP, medan PCT nivåerna inte ökade. Reticulocyt-MCH (Ret-MCH) sjönk initialt med långsam normalisering under de 7 studiedygnen. Resultaten ligger till grund för en större studie inkluderande såväl intensivvårdskrävande sepsis som andra IVA-krävande tillstånd. Fig. 1. Indexerade värden av biomarkörer under 7 dagars studietid.

In-hospital versus 30-day mortality in the critically ill – a 2-year Swedish intensive care cohort analysis. Avdeling för anestesiologi, Universitetssykehus, Rikshospitalet, Oslo, Norge Background: Standardised mortality ratio (SMR) is a common quali- ty indicator in critical care and is the ratio between observed mortality and expected mortality. Typically, in-hospital mortality is used to derive SMR, but the use of a time-fixed, more objective, endpoint has been advocated. This study aimed to determine the relationship between in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality on a comprehensive Swedish intensive care cohort. Methods: A retrospective study on patients >15 years-old, from the Swedish Intensive Care Register (SIR), where intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in 2009-2010 were matched with the corresponding hospital admissions in the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register. Recalibrated SAPS (Simplified Acute Physiology Score) 3 models were developed to predict and compare in-hospital and 30-day mortality. SMR based on in-hospital mortality and on 30-day mortality were compared between ICUs and between groups with different case-mixes, discharge destinations and length of hospital stays. Results: Sixty-five ICUs with 48861 patients, of which 35610 were SAPS 3 scored, were included. Thirty-day mortality (17%) was higher than in-hospital mortality (14%). The SMR based on 30-day mortality and that based on in-hospital mortality differed significantly in 7/53 ICUs, for patients with sepsis, for elective surgery-admissions and in groups categorised according to discharge destination and hospital length of stay. Conclusion: Choice of mortality end-point influences SMR. The extent of the influence depends on hospital-, ICU- and patient cohort characteristics as well as inter-hospital transfer rates, since all these factors influence the difference between SMR based on 30-day mortality and SMR based on in-hospital mortality. ........................................................................................... P75 ICU admittance, is it influenced by patient gender? Zettersten, Larsson, Jäderling, Ohlsson, Bell ANOPIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Introduction: We assume that critically ill patients are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) based on their present illness severity coupled with their age and co-morbidities. Evidence-based clinical judgment and objective practice parameters derived from solid research hopefully result in sound clinical decisions. Patient attributes such as religion, nationality, socioeconomic class or gender are not relevant in this setting. Objectives: To explore the association of patient gender with admission to the ICU amongst hospital physicians working in Sweden. Methods: Two different versions of an online survey, with eight patient cases, were sent to physicians in Sweden who within their field 56 of specialty meet patients that could be eligible for intensive care. The versions of the survey were identical except that the patient gender in each case was exchanged between the two surveys. Depending on the respondent’s birthday (odd or even number) they were directed to one of the two surveys. At the end of each case the respondent was asked to answer if they thought that the patient needed ICU care, yes or no. The respondents were not told in advance about the design of the survey. The respondents were also asked to state their age, sex, field of specialty, size of hospital and title. Results: Of 1426 respondents, 679 and 747 answered survey 1 and 2, respectively. Overall, there were no significant differences in willingness to admit in between cases describing a man or woman in the physician responses. We found statistically significant differences in five out of eight cases when Anesthesiology/intensive care physicians were tested versus all other specialties. In those five cases the former group chooses to admit more patients to the ICU. Female physicians tended to be more willing to admit patients, regardless of patient gender, than their male counterparts. Conclusions: Using a survey, with eight cases only differing with regards to the gender of the patient, we could not find gender bias among Swedish hospital physicians. We demonstrated that anesthesiologists/ intensivist were more likely to recommend ICU admission as compared to other specialists. Female physicians also tended to admit more patients than their male counterparts. ........................................................................................... Posterpresentation 10 (Patientsäkerhet) Tisdag 22/9 kl 13:45–14:45 Lokal: utställningen Moderatorer: Mattias Schindele, Olof Ekre P76 Critical care ultrasound- implementing international guidelines into clinical practice. B. Arnason, P. Sigurjonsson, P. Rudberg, J. Elzen, J. Nordstrom, M. Eriksson, E. Larsson, N. Jonsson, L. Bergenzaun Karolinska University Hospital, Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Stockholm, Sweden. Background: Meticulous assessment and critical decision-making are essential to decrease morbidity and mortality and to improve performance in intensive care medicine. In recent years, point of care ultrasound (PoCUS) has become an invaluable tool in the clinical evaluation of the critically ill. Recent international guidelines, stress that intensive care physicians, should be competent in critical care ultrasonography (CCUS) and critical care echocardiography (CCE). Ensuring a high level of quality in CCUS and adherence to good governance principles is an ongoing challenge. An implementation of CCUS in clinical practice requires appropriate education, credentialing, quality control, continuing education and clinical governance. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to create and plan to implement an educational program in CCUS and basic level of CCE, in accordance with international recommendations of structured ultrasound curriculum models, in the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care at Karolinska University Hospital. Method: A systematic literature review and needs analysis was conducted to define the basis of the ultrasound educational program. An already existing two-day course in point of care ultrasound at our department was extended and adjusted to fulfill the requirements of CCUS and basic level of CCE. An e-based logbook was created, facilitating the documentation of sonographic examinations. All faculty supervisors are intensive care physicians with extensive experience in focused sonographic examinations. Results: The curriculum was adopted from international guidelines. It consists of an introduction course with 10h of didactics and 8h of hands-on sessions on healthy volunteers. The course curriculum is organ system-based, covering basic ultrasound physics, knobology and image acquisition and interpretation. The course includes basic critical care echocardiography, lung and pleural ultrasound, hemodynamic assessment and abdominal ultrasound including aorta and eFAST. Furthermore, participants receive continuous teaching in combination with lectures, bedside demonstrations and case presentations supervised by an experienced intensivist. Finally 30 adequately performed CCE and 20 CCUS in critically ill patients must be assessed and discussed in their clinical context with a faculty supervisor before approval. The program is voluntary and available to both residents in training and specialists in anesthesia and intensive care. ........................................................................................... P77 Performance and user evaluation of a novel capacitance-based automatic urinometer compared with a manual standard urinometer after elective cardiac surgery. Eklund A, Slettengren M, van der Linden J Thoraxkliniken/Dep. Cardiothoracic Surgery & Anesthesiology Karolinska institutet, Karolinska Univ. hospital Introduction: In the intensive care setting, most physiologic parameters are monitored automatically. However, urine output (UO) is still monitored hourly by manually handled urinometers. In this study, we evaluated an automatic urinometer (AU) and compared it with a manual urinometer (MU). Methods: This prospective study was carried out in the intensive care unit of a cardiothoracic surgical clinic. In postoperative patients (n = 34) with indwelling urinary catheters and an expected stay of 24 hours or more, hourly UO samples were measured with an AU (Sippi, n = 220; Observe Medical, Gothenburg, Sweden) or an MU (UnoMeter™ 500, n = 188; Unomedical, Birkerød, Denmark) and thereafter validated by cylinder measurements. Malposition of the instrument at the time of reading excluded measurement. Data were analyzed with the Bland-Altman method. The performance of the MU was used as the minimum criterion of acceptance when the AU was evaluated. The loss of precision with the MU due to temporal deviation from fixed hourly measurements was recorded (n = 108). A questionnaire filled out by the ward staff (n = 28) was used to evaluate the ease of use of the AU compared with the MU. Results: Bland-Altman analysis showed a smaller mean bias for the AU (+1.9 ml) compared with the MU (+5.3 ml) (P <0.0001). There was no statistical difference in measurement precision between the two urinometers, as defined by their limits of agreement (±15.2 ml vs. ±16.6 ml, P = 0.11). The mean temporal variation with the MU was 57 ±7.4 minutes (±12.4%), and the limits of agreement were ±23.9 minutes (±39.8%), compared with no temporal variation with the AU (P <0.0001). The ward staff considered the AU easy to learn to use and rated it higher than the MU (P <0.0001). Conclusions: The AU was not inferior to the MU and was significantly better in terms of bias, temporal deviation and staff opinion, although the clinical relevance of these findings may be open to discussion. ........................................................................................... P78 Ökad patientsäkerhet vid utskrivning IVA – ett led i att minska återinläggningar inom 72 h Erlandsson E, specialistsjuksköterska IVA och Agvald-Öhman C. Överläkare, MD PhD Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset Huddinge IVA Bakgrund: På Karolinska Huddinge IVA B46 har de senaste åren resultaten för SIR:s (Svenska Intensivvårdsregistret) kvalitetsindikator ”Åter in inom 72 timmar” försämrats. Metod: I samarbete med QRC (Kvalitetsregistercentrum Stockholm) och SIR genomfördes ett projekt där en medlem i teamet fick gå en coachingutbildning på TDI (The Dartmouth Institute). Den bestod av sammanlagt sex sessioner varav en var fyra dagar på plats i Dartmouth, USA. TDI arbetar med en validerad metod för förbättringsarbete i team och den användes under projektet. Teamet har haft en stående mötestid varje vecka samt haft två heldagsmöten. Verksamheten kartlades enligt ”5 P-metoden”. Data togs fram, från SIR och ur patiendatasystemet Clinisoft, om vilka patientdiagnoser och avdelningar som var överrepresenterade bland de tidiga återinläggningarna. Ett fiskbensdiagram skapades för att visualisera de faktorer som påverkar återinläggningar inom 72 h. Resultat: En processkarta av utskrivningsprocessen gjordes för att un- derlätta identifieringen av potentiella förbättringsområden i processen. Tre förbättringsområden identifierades. Genom att arbeta med dessa tre förbättringsområden förväntar vi oss att öka patientsäkerheten i övergången mellan IVA och vårdavdelning. • Förbättringsidé 1: En journalgranskning av läkarepikriser gjordes för baslinjedata. En rekommendationsmall utarbetades och implementerades. • Förbättringsidé 2: Ingen rutin fanns för att skriva omvårdnads -rekommendationer. En mall för detta togs fram. • Förbättringsidé 3: Bedside rapportering av undersköterska inför överflyttning till vårdavdelning. Samtliga tre förbättringsidéer bygger på varandra. Det är ett åtgärdspaket för en säkrare utskrivning av patienten från IVA. För att underlätta stegen i rapporteringsprocessen gjordes ett flödesdiagram som ska fungera som lathund för personalen vid utskrivning. Konklusion: Det tar tid att förändra och ffa att behålla en förbättring över tid. Framtida projekt kommer att skapas för att nå slutmålet. Teamets har lärt sig en strukturerad metod som kommer att ligga som grund för dessa projekt och även andra kvalitetsprojekt på avdelningen. ........................................................................................... 58 P79 Uppföljning efter operation och anestesi ett led i förbättringsarbetet och ett sätt att öka patientmedverkan i vården (PROM och PREM). Pether Jildenstål PhD, Metha Brattwall, Överläkare, PhD, Margareta Warren-Stomberg PhD, Irene Sellbrant Överläkare, Jan G. Jakobsson Överläkare Adj.Professor. Institutionen för vårdvetenskap och hälsa, Sahlgrenska akademin vid Göteborgs Universitet Introduktion: Intresset för olika former av telemedicn ökar (1). Inom anestesi/kirurgi har denna teknik inte utnyttjats som inom hälsobefrämjande enheter såsom rökning, motion/vikt och kroniska sjukdomar t.ex. diabetes (2, 3). Dagkirurgiska enheter genomför idag alltmer komplicerad kirurgi. Att kunna göra postoperativ uppföljning på ett enkelt sätt efterfrågas till exempel av SPOR, och telemedicin har börjat sin entré även inom detta område (3,4,5). Syftet med dessa pilotstudier var att utvärdera följsamheten till en telemedicinsk uppföljning med en ”app” efter dag/korttidskirurgi samt att kartlägga vilken uppföljningsmetod patienten föredrar. Metod: En prospektiv pilotstudie gjordes under 2014 vid dagkirurgienheten Mölndal Sahlgrenska universitetssjukhuset i Göteborg. Uppföljning skedde under 8 dagar med maximalt 15 registreringar via patientens mobiltelefon och 1 SMS påminnelse om inte registrering skett vid angiven tidpunkt 09.00 och 21.00. 98 patienter som genomgått ortopedisk dagkirurgi inkluderades. I en kompletterande pilotstudie tillfrågades 90 patienter, i åldrarna 18–40, 41–60 och mer än 60 år i samband med operationstillfället om de föredrog att besvara frågor kring återhämtning efter operationen, via ”app”, web-enkät eller via en konventionell pappersenkät. Resultat: Följsamhet att besvara frågor via app var låg. Totalt använde 29/55 (53%) patienter app mer än 13ggr /15 möjliga. Äldre patienter svarade mindre frekvent. Det fanns också en åldersskillnad i önskemål om teknik för postoperativ uppföljning, där yngre var mer benägna föredra app och äldre hellre såg en konventionell pappersenkät. Totalt valde 35/90 app, 27/90 web och 21/90 pappersenkät och totalt 5 svarstillfällen accepterades av 46/90. Konklusion: Den acceptans för postoperativ uppföljning som framkom överensstämmer inte helt med den kliniska pilotstudien via app för postoperativ uppföljning, där svarsbortfallet var stort. Uppföljning och återkoppling kring återhämtning, vårdkvalitet och effekter på hälsa via telemedicin behöver utvecklas och bättre /enklare tekniker behöver tas fram. Ytterligare studier av hur vi bäst kan få återkoppling – PROM- och PREM-uppföljning efter dagkirurgi planeras. Referenser: 1. Whittaker R. Issues in mHealth: findings from key informant interviews.

P80 30-dagars reklamation på din operation/anestesi! Hur vill patienterna att vi följer deras återhämtning? Irene Sellbrant, Pether Jildenstål, Agnetha Folestad, Jan G Jakobsson Anestesikliniken, Capio Lundby Närsjukhus, Göteborg Bakgrund: Antalet ingrepp som utförs i dagkirurgi i Sverige ökar. Dagkirurgi medför att större delen av den postoperativa vården sker som ”egenvård”. Det ställer krav på vårdgivaren att följa upp och få en återkoppling på utförd vård som en del av kvalitetsprocessen. Uppföljningen skall belysa såväl avvikelser/komplikationer, subjektiva besvär samt patients upplevelse av vården, ”Patient ReportedOutcomeMeasures” PROM. Syftet med detta kvalitetsarbete var att 30 dagar postoperativt få en uppfattning om patientnöjdhet med vården, patienternas önskan om uppföljningssätt samt resursåtgången för uppföljning med telefonintervju. Metod: Ett prospektiv kvalitetsprojekt gjordes mars-maj 2015 vid dagkirurgiska enheten på Capio Lundby Närsjukhus i Göteborg. Uppföljningen skedde med telefonsamtal 30 dagar postoperativt. Femtio patienter som genomgått 5 olika ingrepp, 10 stycken av vardera tillfrågades preoperativt om att bli uppringda. De uppdelades sedan i 3 åldersgrupper, 17–40, 41–65 samt >65 år. Patientdemografi; kön, ASA, BMI, rökning registrerades. Frågorna bestod av en PROM (EQ-5d) samt en PREM (Patient-reported experience-measure) del. Antal uppringningsförsök samt samtalstiden registrerades. Brytpunkt för ”ej nådda” sattes till 40 dagar postoperativt. Resultat: De flesta patienterna (92%) kunde nås per telefon innan ”brytpunkt”. Det krävdes i genomsnitt 2,6 uppringningsförsök/person. Det behövdes 1 samtal mer/person i den yngsta åldersgruppen vs. den äldsta. Genomsnittlig samtalstid var 15,9 minuter. I alla 3 ålders grupperna föredrog patienterna att bli uppringda av vårdgivaren för uppföljning (17–40 år 79%, 41–65 år 88%, >65 år 100%). Enstaka patienter föredrog mail, eller pappersenkät. Ingen av de tillfrågade önskade svara via ”app”. Många patienter uttryckte stor glädje över att vårdgivaren brydde sig om att ringa dem och dessutom få möjlighet att själva ställa frågor. Vårdgivaren fick återkoppling i form av EQ-5d för alla 5 ingreppen. En rad förbättringssynpunkter framkom, t.ex. bättre information vid utskrivningen. Konklusion: Vi fann en stor patientnöjdhet med 30-dagars telefonuppföljning. Resursåtgången för vårdgivaren är dock inte försumbar 2,6 uppringningsförsök/patient och varje samtal tar i genomsnitt 15,9 min. Bästa återkopplingen för vårdgivaren är när EQ-5d kan jämföras med preoperativa svar. Vidare studier planers. P81 Ny perkutan trakeotomiteknik – erfarenheter från Karolinska sjukhuset Johan Ullman, MD, Ph.D., Dept. of Anesthesiology and Intensive care, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden Jonas Karling, SLP, Ph.D., Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden Gregory Margolin, MD, Ph.D., Dept. of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery and Dept. of Oncology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden Perkutan trakeotomi har blivit en rutinteknik för elektiv trakeotomi. I Sverige utförs c:a 1000 st trakeotomier per år varav c:a 50% utförs perkutant. Man har rapporterat komplikationer med perkutana dilatationstrakeotomier (PDT). De allvarligaste har varit blödning, pneumothorax och trakealväggsskador (1). Ett genomgående problem har varit att punktionen i trakea inte kunnat styras och säkerställas tredimensionellt. För att vara säker på att penetrationen är framgångsrik kontrolleras den normalt fiberoptiskt. Endotrakealtuben måste dras tillbaka med risk för extubation. Vi har utvecklat en metod för att göra säkra PDT även i svåra anatomiska situationer. SafeTrachtekniken eliminerar svagheterna med traditionella PDT:s. SafeTrach är ett tångliknande instrument för säker bestämning av nivån på trakeotomin och som leder en punktionsnål två-dimensionellt mot, och med skydd av, en inre skänkel. SafeTrach erbjuder en intuitiv teknik som hjälper läkaren att penetrera trakea utan övervakning av ett bronkoskop. Förhållandet mellan den inre skänkeln och den endo-trakeala tuben ger ett klart mått på hur långt nedanför stämbanden punktionsplatsen är. Den inre skänkeln ligger alltid i mitten av luftstrupen varför punktionen genom yttre skänkeln garanterar en ingång i mittlinjen. Det är omöjligt att gå för djupt eller att hamna utanför luftstrupen. Dilatationen utförs med patienten ventilerad hela tiden. Metoder: Vi har just nu en pågående klinisk studie och 12 patienter är trakeotomerade med hjälp av SafeTrach för punktionen och med Ciaglia Blue Rhino-tekniken för dilatationen. Patienterna var huvudoch halspatienter som skulle opereras med fria lambåer till munhålan. Dessa behöver trakeotomeras för att säkra fria andningsvägar postoperativt. Patienterna representerade olika typer av halsanatomier där 7 patienters cricoidbrosk och trakela ringar var svåra att identifiera genom palpation. Resultat och slutsatser: Studien visade att penetrationsdelen av trakeotomin var snabbt och säkert utförd trots olika anatomiska svårigheter. Tiden för förfarandet var jämförelsevis kort utan hypoxi eller hyperkapni. Referens: 1. Percutaneous tracheostomy.

Elective day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a formal assessment of the need for outpatient follow-up. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2013 Nov;95(8):e142-6. 59 P82 Närståendes tillfredställelse med intensivvård Johan Thermaenius ANOPIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Bakgrund: För att kunna erbjuda vård av god kvalitet är det viktigt patienternas erfarenheter av hälso- och sjukvården efterfrågas och tillvaratas. Kritiskt sjuka patienter minns sällan intensivvården, vilket försvårar mätning av patienttillfredsställelse. En enkät som tillvaratar närståendes upplevelser, kan ge en indikation på hur bemötande och delaktighet inom intensivvården fungerar. Syfte: Att utveckla en enkät för att mäta närståendes tillfredställelse med intensivvård, utvärdera dess tillförlitlighet samt testa den kliniska användbarheten. Metod: Utifrån internationella enkäter valdes frågor som var användbara för svenska förhållanden ut, och sammanställdes till en ny enkät. Innehållet utvärderades av en expertpanel. Användbarheten testades sedan genom ”Think aloud”-intervjuer med tolv närstående till nyligen utskrivna patienter från två intensivvårdsavdelningar. Den slutliga enkäten bestod av 21 flervalsfrågor, samt fyra öppna frågor. Svarsalternativen angavs i en fyragradig skala, mycket nöjd (1,0p), nöjd (0,75p), missnöjd (0,5p), mycket missnöjd (0,25p). Två veckor efter avslutad intensivvård skickades enkäten till närstående till patienter som vårdats längre än två dygn på CIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset Solna. Resultatet grupperades i fem områden och medelvärden för tillfredställelsen presenterades. Resultat: Under 2014, mottog 156 närstående enkäten, varav 95 (61 %) svarade. De närstående var i allmänhet mycket nöjda med vården. Främst var de nöjda med ”Vård och bemötande av patienten” (medelvärde 0,97p) och ”bemötande av närstående” (0,95p). Delar av ”Information” (0,91p) och ”Intensivvårdsmiljö” (0,82p) bedömdes ha förbättringspotential. Angående ”delaktighet inom intensivvård”, upplevde 58 närstående (61 %) missnöje i någon mån, eller frågan som ej relevant. Slutligen bedömdes ”helhetsintrycket” som mycket gott (0,98p). Slutsats: En enkät för att mäta närståendes tillfredställelse med intensivvård har utvecklats och validerats. Enkäten kan vara användbar genom att synliggöra områden med potential för förbättring. ...........................................................................................

An ischemic injury with subsequent reperfusion increases the concentrations of carbon dioxide temporarily, a situation that theoretically could affect the agreement of a capnodynamic method. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the performance of COEPBF during ischemia and reperfusion in porcine model. Methods: The required alterations of alveolar concentration of carbon dioxide are created by a ventilatory pattern containing cyclic reoccurring expiratory holds. COEPBF was compared to a reference method for CO, an ultrasonic flow probe around truncus pulmonalis and a pulmonary artery catheter using three consecutive thermo dilution measurements (N=8). A 10 Fr Reliant catheter (Medtronic) was placed below the diaphragm via the femoral artery and inflated until blood flow in the contralateral femoral artery was abolished according to ultrasound doppler and released after 30 minutes. Hemodynamic measurements and lactate levels were obtained at baseline before the balloon was inflated (BL), at minute 27 and after deflation at minute one, three and five. Results: Lactate at BL was 1.5 mmol/L (1.2–2.4) and peaked at 10.4 mmol/L (7.8–11.4) at minute one after deflation. At BL a Bland Altman plot showed bias 0.6 L/min, limits of agreement (LoA) -0.5–0.7 L/min and a percentage error (PE) 27%. At minute five bias was 0.02 L/min, LoA -1.8–1.9 L/min and PE 37%. Discussion: The ischemic model resulted in significant changes in lactate levels and severe hemodynamic changes. COEPBF showed good agreement at BL but markedly overestimated CO at minute one and three after deflation. Five minutes after deflation COEPBF had re-established agreement with the reference method. ........................................................................................... 60 FF2 kanalen med efterföljande systemisk inflammatorisk reaktion.

The method could be integrated into a standard ventilator and provide a continuous non-invasive alternative for estimation of COEPBF in intubated mechanically ventilated patients. The aim of the current study was to evaluate if the performance of COEPBF was improved by a modified breathing pattern. Methods: Alterations of alveolar concentration of carbon dioxide are a prerequisite to solve the capnodynamic equation and can be accomplished by a predefined ventilatory pattern including a sequence of three breaths with an expiratory hold followed by six normal breaths. COEPBF was compared to a reference method for cardiac output, an ultrasonic flow probe around truncus pulmonalis, in a porcine model. (N=8) The circulation was altered including preload reduction and inotropic stimulation as well as changes in respiratory conditions with varied PEEP levels and increased tidal volumes. Agreement and trending ability was evaluated using Bland-Altman statistics and four-quadrant plot methodology. Results: The overall agreement for all interventions was good with bias, limits of agreement (LoA) and percentage error 0.05, (-1.1–1.2) L/min and 36%. The trending ability was good with a concordance rate of 98%. Discussion: COEPBF with a modified breathing pattern based on expiratory holds showed improved overall agreement in absolute values compared to our previous animal studies with a ventilatory pattern based on inspiratory holds. Trending ability was preserved for all hemodynamic and respiratory interventions. ...........................................................................................

Detta kan orsaka försämrad cirkulation till magtarm- Sövda grisar övervakades avseende hemodynamik inklusive med semi-kontinuerlig CO-mätning. A. mesenterica superior försågs med flödesmätare. Tunntarmsslemhinnans perfusion mättes med laser Doppler. Blodgaser från a. carotis, a. pulmonalis och v. mesenterica superior analyserades. Metabolismen i bukhålan följdes med intraperitoneal mikrodialys. CO sänktes stegvis till 75% (CO75%), 50% (CO50%) och 35% (CO35%) av utgångsvärdet under en timme vardera. Sänkningen skedde antingen via en hjärttamponad (vätska injicerades i perikardiet, n=6), eller med en ballong i v. cava inferior (n=6). Sex djur var kontroller. Resultat: De tre grupperna var lika vid baseline. Både tamponaden och cavaballongen sänkte CO kontrollerat. Kontrollgruppens CO förblev oförändrad. Vid CO35% avled fyra av sex djur i tamponadgruppen. Medelartärtrycket var bibehållet vid CO75% i alla grupperna. Vid CO50% sjönk medelartärtrycket till 35±4 mmHg respektive 42±3 mmHg i tamponad- och cavagruppen. Flödet i a. mesenterica superior sjönk proportionerligt till CO-sänkningen i båda grupperna. Tunntarmsslemhinnans perfusion minskade vid CO50% i tamponadgruppen till 71±16% och i cavagruppen till 73±15%, av utgångsvärdet. Metoderna orsakade jämförbar laktatökning i artär- och mesenterialvensblod. Parallellt steg den intraperitoneala laktatkoncentrationen och laktat/pyruvat-kvoten i bägge grupperna. Slutsats: Båda metoderna för att inducera lågt CO är genomförbara men cavaballongen upplevs experimentellt enklare. Sänkt CO oavsett metod medför en snarlikt försämrad cirkulation och metabolism i magtarmkanalen. Denna påverkan ses även vid en mindre CO-sänkning med bibehållet medelartärtryck. I våra modeller är en CO-sänkning till ungefär 60% av utgångsvärdet lämplig att använda i fortsatta läkemedelsstudier för en rimlig balans mellan CO-sänkning, påverkan på medelartärtrycket och förväntad effekt på magtarmkanalen. ........................................................................................... FF4 Activation of CD137 Promotes Post-operative Cardiovascular Inflammation in Experimental Atherosclerosis Leif Söderström, Hong Jin, Lars Maegdefessel, Göran K Hansson and Peder Olofsson Center for Molecular Medicine, Experimental atherosclerosis unit, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm Perioperative mortality is most commonly caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD contributes to perioperative morbidity. Atherosclerotic plaques are the main cause of CVD. Plaque rupture, which often occurs during cardiovascular stress, is ultimately responsible for most clinical symptoms of CVD. There is currently no established clinical therapy to prevent plaque rupture during excessive stress such as surgery. Plaque inflammation is a key factor in plaque rupture. T-cells, master controllers of plaque inflammation, are regulated by co-stimulatory receptors. We recently discovered that CD137, a co-stimulatory receptor of T-cells, promotes development of atherosclerosis (Circulation 2008, Mol Med 2014). 61 Analysis of CD137 and CD137 ligand mRNA in human clinically significant carotid plaques showed increased levels of CD137 and CD137 ligand in plaques vs healthy control vessels (7.84 vs 0.51, 95%CI 4.35-10.58, p<0.0001; 0.455 vs 0.094, 95%CI 0.627-0.096, p<0.01 respectively). To investigate the effects of CD137 activation, we used a murine model for carotid plaque rupture. CD137 was pharmacologically stimulated by intraperitoneal injections of an agonistic antiCD137 antibody (2A) or control IgG2a. 2A treatment resulted in increased inflammation in the abdominal aorta as evidenced by increased mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines in 2A treated mice compared to IgG2a controls (Tnf: 3.567 ±0.4009 vs 2.371 ±0.1685, p=0.0120; Ifnγ 12.78 ±2.548 vs 3.432 ±0.8907, p=0.0021. n=38). There was no difference in red or white blood cell count between groups. In spleen, cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells increased significantly in 2A treated mice compared to controls (50.95 ±1.944 vs 44.04 ±1.868, p=0.015, n=37). Analysis of plaque rupture frequency is currently ongoing. Taken together, these results show increased levels of CD137 in human atherosclerotic plaques and that activation of CD137 promotes vascular inflammation. Further analysis will clarify whether CD137 modulating treatment can impact plaque rupture. Future studies are needed to evaluate CD137 interventions in prevention of perioperative CVD. ........................................................................................... FF5 Thioredoxin in Trauma and Post-Injury Sepsis J. Eriksson1,2, A. Gidlöf1,2, O. Brattström1,2, B. Persson1,2, E. Larsson1,2, A. Oldner1,2 Institute(s): 1Karolinska Institutet, Physiology and Pharmacology, Section of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Stockholm, Sweden, 2Karolinska University Hospital, Solna, Anesthesiology, Surgical Services and Intensive Care, Stockholm, Sweden Introduction: Trauma is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, resulting in a great global burden of disability and mortality[1, 2]. Approximately half of all trauma deaths occur during the first hours due to traumatic brain injury or massive bleeding. Later deaths are due to, for example, sepsis or multiple organ failure[3]. Independent risk factors for post-injury sepsis are still somewhat poorly defined. Injury Severity Score (ISS), male gender, age, low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at admission and massive blood transfusion have previously been suggested as risk factors[1]. Thioredoxin (TRX) is thought to have important anti-oxidant properties but it also functions as an endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator[4]. The link between high plasma levels of TRX and sepsis has been studied previously, although with conflicting evidence[4, 5]. TRX-levels in trauma patients and the possible correlation to secondary complications such as post-injury sepsis have to our knowledge not been studied previously. Objectives: To study the relationship between trauma and plasma levels of TRX as well as the possible correlation between post-traumatic plasma-TRX and post-injury sepsis. Methods: ICU-admitted trauma patients with an expected stay of >3 days (n=84) were included. Median ISS was 29. Plasma-TRX was analyzed on day 1 and 3. Clinical, physiological and outcome data were retrieved from the trauma and ICU research registries. In addition, we analyzed plasma-TRX in 10 healthy subjects. Results: A three-fold increase in initial TRX was seen in trauma patients when compared to healthy volunteers (median, IQR 63.9 ng/ 62 ml, 39.3-114.6 vs. 22.6 ng/ml, 16.1-25.8 p=0.0001). High ISS (>25) was associated with high plasma-TRX (median, IQR 72.1 ng/ml, 45.2-129.3 vs. 47.9 ng/ml, 35.0-81.2 p=0.049). TRX decreased significantly between day 1 and 3 (median, IQR 63.9 ng/ml, 39.3-114.6 vs. 38.6 ng/ml, 32.4-57.1 p< 0.0001). There was no significant difference between survivors and non-survivors in plasma-TRX. Day 1 plasma-TRX levels were significantly increased in patients who later developed severe sepsis compared to those who did not (median, IQR 72.9 ng/ml, 44.8-137.3 vs. 49.8 ng/ml, 39.0-78.3 p=0.014). Conclusions: TRX levels rise after trauma. Our data suggests that increased plasma TRX levels are associated with post-injury sepsis. The potential usefulness of TRX as a biomarker in trauma patients needs further evaluation in larger studies.

FF6 Extern validering av en förenklad prediktions modell för illamående och kräkning efter hemgång vid dagkirurgi Jakob Walldén1, Jesper Flodin2, Magnus Hultin2. 1 Operationscentrum, Sundsvalls Sjukhus, 2AnOpIVA, Sunderbyns Sjukhus, alla vid Enheten för Anestesi och Intensivvård, Inst för kirurgisk och peroperativ vetenskap, Umeå Universitet. Bakgrund: "Post discharge nausea and vomiting" (PDNV) är ett relativt ouppmärksammat problem som drabbar upp till en tredjedel av patienter som opereras inom dagkirurgi. En förenklad publicerad prediktionsmodell för PDNV inbegriper faktorerna: kvinna, ålder < 50 år, anamnes på PONV, illamående postoperativt och behov av opioider postoperativt (1). Syftet med studien var att göra en oberoende och extern validering av prediktionsmodellen i ett svenskt material. Metod: Vuxna patienter som genomgick dagkirurgi under generell anestesi vid Sunderbyns Sjukhus och Sundsvalls sjukhus inkluderades i studien. Postoperativt utvärderades patienterna med fokus på illamående, kräkning och smärta vid 2, 4 och 6 timmar efter avslutad kirurgi samt de följande tre postoperativa dagarna. Poäng i den förenklade prediktionsmodellen beräknades utifrån patientens tillstånd vid hemgång. Prestanda i prediktionsmodellen utvärderades med diskriminationsförmåga (Arean under the receiver operating characteristic curve, AUCROC) och kalibreringskurva och jämfördes med originalstudiens. Resultat: 431 patients inkluderades i studien. Den generella incidensen av PONV and PDNV var 18.8% (95% CI, 15.4-22.8) respektive 28.1% (95% CI, 24.0-32.5). Prediktionsförmågan med den förenklade modellen för PDNV överensstämde men den i orginalstudien (AUC 0.693 (95% CI, 0.638-0.748) vs. 0.706 (0.681-0.731), absolut differens 0.013). Lutningen på kalibreringskurvan (R Square) var 0.883 med en konstant på 0.021. Den förenklade modellen för att prediktera PDNV har bra prestanda i ett svenskt material och kan vid dagkirurgi skilja ut patienter med ökad risk för illamående och kräkning i hemmet. Våra resultat visar på att modellen är giltig i andra populationer än den i orginalstudien. FF8 Referens Marcus Brynolf, Sigridur Kalman, Erzsebet Bartha Slutsats: 1. Apfel et al.

Method: Design: single-centre, open, randomized, and controlled parallel-group superiority trial with concealed computer-generated randomization. GDHT: fluid challenges to maximize the stroke volume index (SVI); dobutamine to achieve oxygen delivery index (DO2I) > 600 ml ∙ min-1 ∙ m-2. Patients: only those, who were allocated in the GDHT group (age > 70 years); Monitoring: LiDCOplus™. Haemodynamic outcomes: increase of baseline SVI by ≥ 10% after the first fluid challenge; at anaesthesia start; increase or maintenance of baseline DO2I at the end of surgery. Clinical outcomes: postoperative complications. Independent predictors of the haemodynamic and the clinical outcome were assessed (logistic regression analyses). Results: GDHT/RFT (n = 70/72, mean age 85 years). First fluid chal- lenge responders were 39%. At anaesthesia start (GDHT group received repeated challenges), the SVI increased in 6% /15% of patients (GDHT/RFT). At the end of surgery, the DO2I was maintained or increased in 47% /30% of patients (GDHT/RFT). Predictors: for first fluid challenge response, the baseline SVI < 28 ml m-2; for post-operative complications, the DO2I at the end surgery < 290 ml min-1 m-2. Passive leg raise response in normotensive elderly patients and the effects of subdural block LiDCOplus™ and transthoracic echocardiography AnOpIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset i Huddinge, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet Background: Maximization of stroke volume (SV) by fluid challenge, i.e. the first step of Goal Directed Hemodynamic Treatment, at high age may reduce the SVI. A reversible “self-volume loading” (PLR, passive leg raise) might be helpful, but the interpretation and the relevance of positive PLR response in per-operative clinical scenarios are unclear. Aims: to compare the ability of LiDCOplus™ to follow SV changes during PLR-test with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE); to estimate whether an association between PLR-test responses and post-spinal hypotension exists; and given this estimate to calculate a sample size for a future trial Methods: • Design: observational pilot study (ID: 2013/995-31/3) • Population: patients > 80 years (informed consent), urologic surgery in spinal anesthesia • Monitors: LiDCOplus™ (calibrated two times); TTE (tracing the velocity time integral in the left ventricular outflow tract). • Primary outcomes: SV-changes during PLR • Secondary outcomes: PLR responses and post-spinal hypotension • Statistical analyses: distribution, correlation (between methods) of repeated measurements by mixed effects model; assessment of bias, precision and accuracy by Bland Altman plot and by percentage error; trending ability by four quadrant plot, association between PLR-related SV-changes and post-spinal hypotension by mixed effects model. Results: Good agreement between TTE and LiDCOplus™ was found: > 95% of measurements was within 95%CI of the mean difference. The percentage error was 24%, and the coefficients of variation were 14% (LiDCOplus™) and 18% (TTE); the concordance rate of LiDCOplus™ was 75%. We observed some association between the pattern of the PLR-related SV changes and the post-spinal hypotension; to prove that, we would need a sample size of 80 patients. The positive PLR-test and post-spinal hypotension had very low association, and would need a sample size of 450 patients. Conclusions: The PLR test at high age might not guide the prediction of post-spinal hypotension, but the pattern of PLR may still need further research. The SV changes during PLR may be detected by LiDCOplus™ and agree well with TTE. ........................................................................................... Conclusions: The unintended haemodynamic GDHT effects may be predicted by haemodynamic characteristics. The DO2I at the end of surgery was a predictor of post-operative complications. ........................................................................................... 63 FF9 Effects of neoadjuvant chemo- or chemoradio therapy for esophageal cancer on perioperative hemodynamics – a prospective cohort study within a randomized clinical trial Mikael Lunda,*, Jon A Tsaib, Magnus Nilssonb, Lars Lundellb, Sigridur Kalmana. a Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, and Division of Anaesthesiology, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden.bCentre for Digestive Diseases and Division of Surgery, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, 141 86 Sweden. cDepartment of Clinical Oncology and Division of Oncology-Pathology, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital Solna, 171 76 Stockholm. d Department of Medicine, Section of Cardiology, and Division of Cardio logy, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University hospital Huddinge, 141 86 Sweden. School of Technology and Health, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. Background: Postoperative complications after esophagectomy are common. Neoadjuvant treatment improve long-term survival but neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy could elicit perioperative challenges and increase postoperative morbidity compared to chemotherapy through an acute radiation effect on the heart. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative hemodynamic patterns in patients following chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy. Methods: Patients enrolled at our center into a multicenter trial comparing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (n=17) and chemotherapy (n=24) were randomized to receive neoadjuvant cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil with or without 40 Gy concurrent radiotherapy prior to surgery. Cardiac function was assessed with LiDCOplustm, Troponin T and NT-proBNP, before, during and after surgery. The primary outcome was stroke volume indexed for body surface area. Per protocol analyses with linear mixed models were used to analyze the effects of within group change and the interaction between trend and group. Results: Chemotherapy n=17, Chemoradiotherapy n=14 completed surgery. The chemoradiotherapy group were older (66 vs. 60 years p=0.33). We found no significant interaction effect.There was a trend towards an interaction effect for cardiac index (p=0.07) and the chemoradiotherapy group had a lower cardiac index before surgery (2.9 vs. 3.4 l/m2/ min p=0.03). These differences diminished after adjusting for age (p=0.10) and (p=0.14) respectively. Hemodynamic values changed in both groups during the study. On the third postoperative day both groups displayed a hyperdynamic state compared to baseline. Operating time and bleeding were similar in both groups as were troponin T and NT-proBNP patterns. There was a trend towards an increased pulmonary complication rate in the chemoradiotherapy group (p=0.09). Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy does not affect the perioperative hemodynamic profile compared to patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy as administered in this study appears safe from a perioperative hemodynamic perspective. Further studies are need as to the effect on respiratory function. ........................................................................................... 64 FF10 Optimering av vätskebehandling vid blodförgiftning med hjälp av passivt benlyftstest Maria Cronhjort, Magnus Bergman, Eva Joelsson-Alm, Johan Mårtensson, Mona-Britt Divander, Christer Svensen ANE/IVA, Södersjukhuset, Stockholm Svår sepsis samt septisk chock är svårbehandlade tillstånd inom intensivvården. Sepsis innebär läckande kärlendotel och försvagad hjärtmuskel. Intravenös vätska är därmed en viktig del av behandlingen vid septiska tillstånd. Gällande rekommendationer i ”Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines” bygger på variabler såsom blodtryck, centrala fyllnadstryck samt blodvärde. Vi vet med säkerhet idag att dessa parametrar dåligt reflekterar individens förmåga till att svara på vätskebehandling. Mer än 50 % av patienter med blodförgiftning på en intensivvårdsavdelning svarar inte på given vätska med en förbättrad cirkulation. Dessa patienter får stora mängder vätska i onödan och går därmed upp i vikt vilket är associerat med ökad morbiditet och mortalitet. Vi genomför en öppen, randomiserad studie, där vi använder oss av ett benlyftstest för att avgöra när patienten ska få vätska. Patienterna i benlyftsgruppen övervakas med PiCCO(pulskonturanalys med termodilutionskalibrering). Benlyftstest. Om slagvolymsindex ökar ≥10% vid benlyft får behandlande läkare ordinera vätska. Patienterna randomiseras till en av två grupper där gruppen med benlyftstest endast får vätska då testet indikerar en ”responder”. Den andra gruppen får vätska enligt behandlande läkares val. Vi testar hypotesen att benlyftstest kan ge en minskad viktuppgång i interventionsgruppen dag 3 med 30%. Studien är registrerad på Clinicaltrials.gov som OFTa-PLR, NCT02301585. Vi har inkluderat 19 patienter av 132 sedan studiestart i februari 2014. Inklusionstakten har varit låg, men ökar stadigt. Patienterna måste inkluderas inom tolv timmar från debut av septisk chock. Det innebär ofta att inklusion är aktuell nattetid, vilket kräver att hela nattjourslinjen är välinformerad och kan prioritera studien. I de flesta fall är det möjligt att nå anhöriga för att få samtycke till att patienten ska vara med i studien. Vi planerar att utöka studien till flera intensivvårdsavdelningar under 2016. ........................................................................................... FF11 God logistik och kompletta traumateam ger snabb kirurgisk intervention vid trauma Pierre Sundin1, Cecilia Mitt Holm2,Olof Brattström1,3och Therese Djärv4,5 1 ANOPIVA-kliniken, 2Med Kand, KI, 3Institutionen för fysiologi och farmakologi, KI, 4Akutkliniken, 5Institutionen för medicin, enheten för Internmedicin,KI. Samtliga vid Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna. Bakgrund: Mortaliteten efter trauma med livshotande blödning minskar om tiden till akut kirurgisk intervention minimeras. En patientgrupp med särskilt behov av snabba insatser är patienter med hjärtstopp orsakat av trauma. Traditionellt tas traumapatienter emot av ett traumateam på en akutmottagning. Vid Trauma Centrum Karolinska (TCK) omhändertas emellertid svårt skadade patienter direkt på en särskild traumaenhet med egen avdelad operationssal i omedelbar anslutning till traumarummet. Traumaledaren (kirurg) kan välja att låta det prehospitala teamet föra patienten direkt in till operationssalen. Till skillnad från andra svenska sjukhus deltar operationssjuksköterska och operationsundersköterska i varje traumateamaktivering på TCK. Detta i kombination med omedelbar tillgång till operationssal torde möjliggöra snabb kirurgisk intervention om så är påkallat. Metod/Patientmaterial:I det svenska traumaregistret SweTrau identifierades 67 patienter som förts till sjukhus med hjärtstopp efter trauma i Stockholms län 2011–2014. För 22 patienter beslutades om omedelbar kirurgi (thorako- och/eller laparotomi) utan föregående datortomografiundersökning. Tidsuppgifter föreligger på 21 av dessa patienter. Resultat: Av 21 patienter var 13 (62%) drabbade av penetrerande- res- pektive 8 (38%) av trubbigt våld. Det utfördes 20 thorakotomier och 9 laparotomier. Hos 8 patienter utfördes bägge ingreppen i samma seans. Vid 24 timmar levde 5 (24 %) patienter. Vid 30 dagar samt vid 1 år levde 2 (10 %) patienter. För 11 (52 %) av patienterna startade kirurgin inom 5 minuter. Mediantid till start av kirurgi för hela gruppen var 5 minuter (range 1–25 min) Konklusion: Vi redovisar data för en patientgrupp med mycket svåra skador och behov av omedelbar kirurgi. Resultatet visar att ett omhändertagande av traumapatienten i omedelbar anslutning till en operationssal, och med operationspersonal i traumateamet, ger förutsättningar för att mycket snabbt starta potentiellt livräddande kirurgi. ........................................................................................... FF12 Cardiac mortality after septic shock Lina De Geer, Anna Oscarsson, Mats Fredrikson and Sten Walther Intensivvårdskliniken, Universitetssjukhuset, Linköping Cardiac dysfunction is a well-known complication in septic shock, but its long-term consequences remain elusive. We investigated cardiac outcome in septic shock patients by assessing causes of death in a register-based cohort. Our hypothesis was that septic shock survivors are at an increased risk of death related to cardiac failure. A cohort of 11 214 severe sepsis and septic shock intensive care (ICU) patients without preceding severe cardiac failure and discharged alive was collected from the Swedish Intensive Care Registry (SIR) together with a control group matched regarding age, sex and severity of illness, but without sepsis. In patients who died after ICU discharge, information on causes of death was sought in the Swedish Death Registry. After ICU discharge, 4860 sepsis patients died, 895 (18%) of which from cardiac failure. The median (IQR; range) time from ICU discharge to death from cardiac failure was 81 (17–379; 0–2447) days. With increasing severity of illness (quartiles of SAPS 3; SAPS 3 27– 57, 58– 66, 67–76, and 77–133, respectively), the hazard ratio (HR) for death from cardiac failure increased significantly (1.580 (95% CI 1.192–2.095, p=0.001) in the highest quartile compared to the lowest). When compared to controls, HR for death from cardiac failure was not increased after sepsis (0.981 (95% CI 0.812–1.182, p=0.846). To eliminate the impact of directly ICU-related death, patients who died less than one week after ICU discharge were excluded. Nonetheless, HR for death from cardiac failure did not differ between sepsis patients and controls (0.977 (95% CI 0.791–1.207, p=0.829). The risk of death from cardiac failure after septic shock increases with severity of illness. However, we conclude that septic shock patients are not at an increased risk of death from cardiac failure when compared to other ICU patients. ........................................................................................... Fria Föredrag 3 Måndag 21/9 kl 17:45–19:00 Lokal: 27 Moderatorer: Eddie Weitzberg, Michael Wanecek FF13 Urinary cystatin C as a marker of sepsis in critically ill patients Jonsson Niklas AnOpIVA Karolinska Solna Introduction: Specific biomarkers to detect sepsis and guide antibiotic stewardship in critically ill patients are lacking. Structural glomerular changes causing increased filtration of plasma proteins such as cystatin C has been observed in septic patients. In addition, impaired renal tubular reabsorption of filtered cystatin C leading to elevated urinary concentrations is a proposed feature of acute kidney injury (AKI). Objectives: To explore the association of elevated cystatin C concentrations in urine with sepsis and AKI in critically ill patients. Methods: Urinary cystatin C was quantified on a daily basis in 138 general ICU patients. The peak urinary cystatin C level during ICU admission was identified for each patient. Sepsis was defined as a suspected or confirmed infection together with the presence of at least three systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria. AKI was defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. We used multivariate logistic regression to explore the association of sepsis with urinary cystatin C above the median for the entire cohort adjusting for AKI severity, demographics, admission diagnosis and illness severity. Results: Of 138 patients, 84 (61%) had sepsis and 67 (49%) had AKI during ICU admission. Median urinary cystatin C was 2.48 mg/L for the entire cohort. Peak urinary cystatin C was higher in septic as compared to non-septic patients (median 2.5 mg/L [IQR 0.58–7.8 mg/L] vs median 0.48 mg/L [IQR 0.23–1.2 mg/L]; P<0.001). Sepsis was independently associated with urinary cystatin C >2.48 mg/L (adjusted odds ratio 4.40 [95% CI 1.91–10.12]) whereas AKI was not (adjusted 65 odds ratio 1.73 [95% CI 0.76–3.95] for KDIGO 1 AKI and 1.10 [95% CI 0.40–3.05] for KDIGO ≥2 AKI). Conclusions: Urinary cystatin C >2.48 mg/L can be used to detect sepsis in a general ICU setting where AKI is common. ........................................................................................... FF14 Plasma endostatin improves acute kidney injury risk prediction in critically ill patients Niklas Jonsson, Anders Larsson, Max Bell, Claes-Roland Martling, Johan Mårtensson ANOPIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major clinical problem in critically ill patients characterized by a rapid loss of kidney function and high mortality. Dysfunction of the renal microcirculation as a result of endothelial activation and damage appears to play a major role in the initiation, maintenance and progression of AKI. Endostatin is a potent activator of the endothelium, released by basement membrane collagen breakdown. Animal experiments show that such collagen breakdown occurs early on after renal insult and contributes to the pathophysiology of AKI. Objective: We aimed to assess whether plasma endostatin improved prediction of AKI occurring within 72 hours in critically ill patients. Material and methods: We enrolled patients within 48 hours of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We excluded patients who met AKI criteria during this time-frame. We defined AKI according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The optimal combination of risk factors for AKI prediction was included in a clinical model. Improvement in risk prediction by adding endostatin to the clinical model was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Results: Of 93 patients, 21 (22.6%) developed AKI within 72 hours. A clinical model based on age, APACHE II score and oliguria for <6 hours predicted AKI with an AUC of 0.76 (95% CI 0.65–0.87). Compared to non-AKI patients, endostatin at inclusion was significantly higher in patients who developed AKI within 72 hours and improved (P<0.001) the AUC (0.84 [95% CI 0.75–0.92]) when combined with the clinical model. In addition, endostatin significantly improved risk prediction using NRI (0.27; P = 0.04) and IDI (0.07; P = 0.04) analyses. Conclusion: Plasma endostatin combined with a three-parameter clinical model is a strong predictor of evolving AKI in critically ill patients. ........................................................................................... FF15 Pre-morbid Chronic renal dysfunction increases the risk of death and of developing End Stage Renal Disease in the critically ill. Claire Rimes Stigare, Paolo Frumento, Matteo Bottai, Johan Mårtensson, Claes-Roland Martling, Sten M Walther & Göran Karlström, Max Bell. 66 ANOPIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Introduction: Prevalence of Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) amongst Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admissions is rising. How Long-term mortality and the risk of developing ESRD compare to patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) or without renal dysfunction is unclear. This knowledge is essential to: optimize treatment, identify survivors requiring nephrological surveillance and to quantify requirements for dialysis provision. Method: This cohort study was conducted in Swedish ICUs between 2005 and 2011 using the Swedish intensive care register (SIR) consisting of 130,134 adult patients. Incomplete cases were excluded (26,771). Patients were classified as having ESRD, CKD, de novo AKI, Acute on Chronic disease (AoC) or no renal dysfunction. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcome was ESRD-incidence. Maximum follow-up was seven years for mortality and six years for ESRD (median 2.1 and 1.3 years respectively). Results: Of 103,363 patients, 4,192 had pre-existing CKD and 1389 had ESRD. 5,273 (5.1%) developed de novo AKI and 998 CKD patients developed AoC. Mortality rates were highest in AoC-subjects Crude mortality rate ratios (MRR) compared to controls were 3.52, 2.87 and 2.99 for AoC, AKI and CKD respectively. ESRD had a crude MRR 2.08, adjusted MRR was higher than for AKI (1.46 vs. 1.15). One year mortality was greatest in AoC group (54%) followed by AKI (48.7%) and CKD (47.6%), for ESRD it was 40.3% (P<0.001). 5 years mortality was highest for CKD and AoC groups (71.3%, 68.2 respectively followed by AKI (61.8%) and ESRD (62.9%)(p<0.001). Incidence of ESRD was greatest in the AoC and CKD groups (adjusted Incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 259 and 96.4) but also significantly elevated in AKI-patients compared to controls (adjusted IRR 24). Conclusion: Pre-ICU renal disease significantly increases the risk of death compared to controls. Subjects with AoC disease had extreme risk of developing ESRD. All patients with CKD who survive critical care should receive a nephrology referral. ........................................................................................... FF16 Acute kidney injury following severe trauma, risk factors and long-term outcome Eriksson Mikael AnOpIVA Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Background: The trauma patient sustains numerous potentially harmful insults that may contribute to a notable risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of, and to identify risk factors for, AKI in severely injured trauma patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The patients were followed for one year with respect to survival and end-stage renal disease. Methods: Trauma patients admitted to the ICU for > 24 hours at a level-one trauma centre were included. The outcome measure was AKI diagnosed day 2-7 of ICU-treatment. Regression analysis was performed in order to identify factors associated with AKI-development. Results: A quarter of the patients (103/413) developed AKI within the first week of ICU-admission. AKI was associated with increased 30-day (17.5 % vs. 5.8 %) and 1-year (26.2 % vs. 7.1 %) mortality. Risk factors for AKI were male gender, age, non-diabetic comorbidity, diabetes mellitus, injury severity score >40, massive transfusion and volume-loading with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) within the first 24 hours. Unexpectedly, sepsis prior to AKI onset, admission hypotension and extensive contrast loading (> 150 mL) were not associated with AKI-development. None of the surviving AKI-patients had developed end-stage renal disease one year post-injury. Conclusions: AKI in ICU-admitted trauma patients is a common complication with substantial mortality. Diabetes, male gender and severe injury were strong risk factors but also age, non-diabetic comorbidity, massive transfusion and resuscitation with HES were associated with post-injury AKI. Based on the results of the current study volume resuscitation with HES cannot be recommended in trauma-patients. ........................................................................................... FF17 Causes of excessive late death after multiple trauma, a matched cohort study Eriksson Mikael AnOpIVA Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Objective: To investigate a potentially sustained increase in mortality up to three years following multiple trauma and identify causes of late death. Introduction: Trauma is a serious contributor to the global burden of disease and the most common cause of death <45 years in Sweden. Studies on mortality and causes of death following trauma have mainly been restricted to hospital stay or 30-day mortality. Increasing evidence indicate a sustained increase in mortality up to several years after trauma, but the causes of late death has not been elucidated. Methods: In a cohort study 7382 multiple trauma patients were identified through a regional trauma registry 2005–2012. Trauma cases were matched to 36760 uninjured controls by age, sex and municipality. By linkage to national registries mortality, cause of death and comorbidity status was identified. Excess mortality was examined by calculating all-cause mortality rate ratio (MRR). Results: Among the trauma cohort 755 (10.2 %) died within three years after the index trauma, 30-day mortality was 5.0 %. When compared to the control group all-cause MRR showed a sustained increase in mortality up to three years with MRR day 31–365 of 2.88 (95 % CI 2.37–3.50), year 1–2 1.59 (1.24–2.04) and year 2–3 1.43 (1.06–1.92) respectively. The most common causes of late death among trauma patients were diseases of the circulatory system and external causes. Conclusions: This is the first study analysing late mortality and causes of death after trauma using a matched control group. A sustained increase in mortality was seen up to three years after the index trauma. The excess mortality was largely attributed to external causes of death including subsequent trauma and substance abuse. ........................................................................................... Fria Föredrag 4 (Patientsäkerhet) Tisdag 22/9 kl 15:45–16:45 Lokal: C3 Moderatorer: Michael Haney, Christina Eintrei FF18 Förbättringsarbete med stöd av kvalitetsregister: Förkortad respiratortid för intensivvårdspatienter Anna Eriksson, Ing-Marie Larsson, Annica Lindberg, Sandra Snäckerström, Carina Wallin, Ewa Wallin, Patric Vennström, Åsa Wilhelmsson, Rafel Kawati ANIVA, Akademiska sjukhuset, Uppsala Bakgrund: På Centralintensiven (CIVA), Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala, vårdas ca 1000 patienter per år och av dem vårdas hälften i respirator. Förlängd respiratorvård efter 24–48 timmar korreleras med ökad mortalitet och ökad risk för komplikationer. Att förkorta respirator tiden kan innebära mindre komplikationer samt kortare vårdtid på IVA. Syfte: Att förkorta patienternas vårdtid i respirator och att arbeta med projekt och förbättringsarbeten utifrån en strukturerad metod samt att använda registerdata som stöd i förbättringsarbeten. Metod: The Dartmouth Microsystem Improvement Curriculum (DMIC) Ramp användes för att genomföra förbättringsarbetet. Ett team med medarbetare från flera professioner introducerade och implementerade förbättringsåtgärder; daglig väckning, aktiv befuktning åt alla patienter som vårdas i respirator, höjd huvudända och checklista för tidig postoperativ extubering. Det kvalitetsregister som använts i förbättringsarbetet var Svenskt Intensivvårdsregister (SIR). Resultat: Den totala respiratortiden minskade med 12%, från 56,7 timmar till 49,8 timmar på 6 månader. I en subgrupp av patienter som inkom till avdelningen för tidig postoperativ extubation efter elektiva operationer minskade respiratortiden med 74%. Slutsats: DMIC konceptet har visat sig vara ett effektivt sätt att arbeta med förbättringsprojekt och når snabba resultat. Projektet lyckades med att minska tiden i respirator för samtliga patienter och hade stor effekt på patienter som kom till IVA postoperativt för extubering. ........................................................................................... FF19 Riskuppföljning av patienter som genomgått omfattande kirurgi ett pilotprojekt på Centrala Postop Sandra Månsson, Caroline Hällsjö Sander ANOPIVA kliniken Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Bakgrund: Cirka 12 % av de patienter som genomgår kirurgi drabbas av postoperativa komplikationer (1–3). Risken att drabbas av detta är relaterat till ingreppets omfattning, patientens preoperativa hälsotillstånd samt det perioperativa medicinska omhändertagandet (4). Syfte: Att utvärdera hur ofta ett team bestående av postopsjuksköterska och anestesiolog identifierar behov av ytterligare behandling, provtagning eller utökad övervakningsnivå efter utskrivning till vårdavdelning. 67 Att utvärdera vårdavdelningspersonalens upplevelse av bl.a. det pedagogiska värdet i detta besök. Metoder: En postopsjuksköterska och anestesiolog följer upp patienter som opererats med omfattande buk/bäckenkirurgi pga. gynekologisk eller urologisk malignitet. Patienterna har vårdats minst en natt på Centrala Postop pga. ingreppets omfattning och/eller komorbiditet. 1–2 dygn efter utskrivning från den postoperativa avdelningen rondar postopsjuksköterska och anestesiolog patienten på vårdavdelningen tillsammans med vårdavdelningens personal. Därefter träffar teamet patienten och gör en bedömning utifrån NEWS samt det eget utarbetade RU-score. Vid behov finns möjlighet att på avdelningen ta blodgas för direkt analys samt ultraljud av buk- och thoraxorgan. En samlad bedömning görs och RUteamet lämnar eventuella rekommendationer till vårdavdelningssjuksköterska/ läkare. Resultat: Vi har hittills gjort 53 besök, varav 37 kvinnor och 26 män. I 27 av dessa fall har vi kommit med rekommendationer gällande patientens fortsatta vård och behandling. De vanligaste rekommendationerna gäller vätskebehandling, provtagning, röntgen samt övervakning av vitala funktioner. Vi har vid ett tiotal tillfällen varit behjälpliga med t.ex. läkemedelsadministration, EKGtagning samt provtagning. Diskussion: RU är utvärderat på den vårdavdelning som vi arbetat mot mest, där har det varit en mycket positiv feedback. Vi som arbetar med RU upplever att behovet av en förlängning av den anestesiologiska/ postoperativa kompetensen fyller en viktig funktion, både ur ett medicinskt- och ur ett omvårdnadsperspektiv. Den pedagogiska komponenten utgör en av grundpelarna i RU-verksamheten och är den som vi tror gör störst skillnad i långa loppet. Referenser 1. Pearse RM, Rhodes A, Moreno R, et al.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2012 Nov 14; 11 en kostnad av ca 250.000 kronor extra (avhandling från Karolinska Institutet 2012 (Hyllienmark P.) och en CVKRI beräknas till en kostnad av ca 29.000 $ (Marschall J et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2008). Båda ger också upphov till ökad morbiditet och mortalitet och stort mänskligt lidande för våra patienter. Således finns mycket att vinna genom att minska frekvensen av dessa infektioner på våra intensivvårdsavdelningar. Metod: Genom att följa sina komplikationer på avdelningen i SIRs utdataportal kunde Karolinska Huddinge IVA på ett strukturerat sätt arbeta med att sänka sin infektionsfrekvens av VAP och CVKRI. Det är ett långsiktigt arbete som har pågått sen 2002 och där man tydligt kan se att infektionsfrekvensen varierar över åren. Möjlighet att bättre beskriva infektionerna i VAP/10.000 ventilatortimmar samt CVKRI/1000 dagar har ökat kvalitén på in- och utdata genom åren och gett avdelningen ett mer tillförlitligt instrument att jobba mot. Rent konkret har återkommande hygienhappenings regelbundet med olika fokus varit en del av arbetet och där har alltid redovisning av SIR data till hela personalgruppen ingått som en viktig ingrediens. VAP åtgärdspaket, checklista för CVK inläggning och punktprevalensmätningar av basala hygienrutiner samt följsamhet till SKLs åtgärdspaket för CVK skötsel har också varit en del av det förebyggande arbetet. Dessutom uppmuntras personalen att komma med egna förbättringsförslag och vi utgår från deras yrkesstolthet – det ger ofta bättre resultat än pekpinnar – ”Down – Up istället för Top – Down management”. Genom att arbeta långsiktigt och med ständigt fokus på förbättring har Karolinska Huddinge IVA sänkt infektionsfrekvensen av både VAP (Fig 1) och CVKRI (Fig 2). Detta i sin tur har medfört besparingar på ca 2,5 – 3,0 miljoner SEK i minskad VAP och dessutom ca 2,6 miljoner SEK i minskad CVKRI när man jämför de sämsta åren med de bästa (Fig 2 och Fig 3). Slutsatser: Dessa resultat visar på ett långsiktigt arbete som både spa- rar miljontals kronor, minskar patienternas lidande samt räddar liv! Att använda sig av kvalitetsregisterdata från SIR och regelbundet återföra dessa till personalen är ett effektivt verktyg att nå mätbara förbättringar i vården på intensivvårdsavdelningen Karolinska Hudinge. ...........................................................................................

FF20 Herczeghne Edit Långsiktigt arbete med hjälp av Svenska intensivvårdsregistret (SIR) sänkte kostnader med miljontals kronor på Karolinska Huddinge IVA. Christina Agvald-Öhman Anestesi- och intensivvårdskliniken Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset Huddinge Bakgrund och syfte: Vårdrelaterade infektioner är ett stort problem inom slutenvården med en incidens av ca 10%, dvs. var tionde patient får en s.k. vårdskada. Särskilt stort är problemet inom intensivvården där ofta en incidens på det dubbla har rapporterats. Inom SIR har fokus på att registrera vårdrelaterade infektioner varit stort genom åren, detta för att kunna arbeta strukturerat med egna data och sänka infektionsfrekvensen ute på avdelningarna. Ventilator-associerad pneumoni (VAP) och CVK (central venkateter)- relaterade infektioner (CVKRI) är båda komplikationer som registreras i SIR. En VAP är beräknad till 68 ANIVA, Uppsalla Akademiska Sjukhus, Uppsala Bakgrund: Det finns olika synpunkter vilka infusioner ska ges till patienter i narkos för en optimal vätskebehandling. Förhöjda glukos värden perioperativt har negativa konsekvenser för morbiditet och mortalitet. För optimera patientens välbefinnande behöver utvärdera blod glukos koncentration hos patienter under och efter rutin anestesi. Metoder: Studien genomfördes under 10–12/2013 (121 patient, fas I,5% buffrad glucos perioperativt) och 04–06/2014 (108 patienter, fas II, ej 5% buffrad glucos perioperativt). Patienter utan diabetes som genomgick ett planerat kirurgisk eller ortopediskt ingrepp registrerades. Datainsamlingen : operations datum, kön, ålder, typ av ingrepp, opertationstid, anestesi tid, mängd och typ av given vätska under operation, BG koncentrationer peroperativt och postoperativt. Deskriptiva och icke parametriska statistiska metoder har använts. Resultat: Fas I: anestesi tid: 263 min (245–282) (mean, minimum– maximum). Given volym av 5% buffrad glukos: 243 ml (201–285). BG peroperativt 7,2 mmol/l (6,8–7,6), BG postoperativt: 9,4 mmol/l (8,9–9,8). Fas II: anetesi tid 275 min (253–297).BG peroperativt: 6,6 mmol/l (6,3–6,8), BG postoperativt: 7,9 mmol/l (7,6–8,2). 41(34%) patienter hade BG> 10 mmol/l postoperativt i fas I och 10 (10,8%) patienter i fas II. 13 (10,7%) patienter hade BG<6 mmol/l i fas I och 8 (7,4%) patienter i fas II. Ingen patient hade BG< 4 mmol/l. or with CPAP. Residual neuromuscular block caused a reduction in HVR while HCVR was unaffected (Figure 1). A total of 33.2±6.8 mg rocuronium was infused i.v. for 49±9 min to achieve a TOF ratio of 0.76±0.03. Slutsats: Perioperativ tillförsel av 5% buffrad glukos orsakade höga glukos koncentrationer hos 34% av patienter utan diabetes vid rutinanestesi. Ersättning av 5% buffrad glucos med andra kristalloider minskade postoperativ hyperglikemia och ledde inte till hypoglikemiska episoder. ........................................................................................... Fria Föredrag 5 Conclusions: Based on the preliminary data from this study, residual neuromuscular block by rocuronium attenuates the acute HVR in untreated OSA patients. Notably, this is not due to muscle paralysis since the HCVR is unaffected, but rather a depression of the peripheral chemosensitivity.

Residual neuromuscular block markedly reduce the acute hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) in healthy volunteers. While untreated OSA patients has an increased HVR, it is not known to what extent neuromuscular blocking agents interact with hypoxic control of breathing in OSA patients. Materials and Methods: 11 newly diagnosed and untreated OSA patients entered the study. They were studied using a facemask, standard perioperative monitoring and thoracic and abdominal impedance bands. Neuromuscular function was assessed by adductor pollicis trainof-four (TOF) response of the ulnar nerve. First individual baseline HVR and hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR) were measured. Thereafter, CPAP of 6–7 cm of H2O was applied and three series of HVR and HCVR tests followed: i.e. control, during rocuronium induced residual neuromuscular block aiming at TOF ratio of 0.70 and after recovery to TOF ratio >0.90. At each occasion, isocapnic HVR was studied using FiO2 of 0.08-0.12 targeting SpO2 of 80%, while normoxic HCVR was performed by addition of 5% CO2 to inspired air.

FF23 Remifentanil induced dysfunction of pharyngeal swallowing Savilampi Johanna Aniva-kliniken, Örebro Universitetssjuhus Background: Exposure to remifentanil causes swallowing difficulties and increases the incidence of pulmonary aspiration in healthy volunteers. These effects may be explained by impairment of airway defense mechanisms and/or altered swallow function. Automated impedance manometry pressure-flow analysis (AIM analysis) is a technique that allows objective assessment of swallow function based on pressure-impedance patterns recorded during bolus swallowing. The aim of this study was to use AIM analysis to quantify the effect of remifentanil on pharyngeal swallowing in both young and old volunteers and to contrast these effects to morphine. Methods: Eighteen healthy young and old volunteers participated in a double-blind, randomized, cross-over study at the University Hospital in Örebro, Sweden. Subjects were studied on two occasions during which they received either target-controlled infusion of remifentanil (young: 3 ng/ml, older: 2 ng/ml) or a bolus injection of morphine (young: 0.1 mg/kg, older: 0.07 mg/kg). Pressure-impedance measurements were made with an indwelling catheter and ten liquid swallows were captured during each measuring condition. The pressure-flow variables defining swallow function were calculated and compared to determine drug effects. Results: Remifentanil influenced the variables towards the direction that is consistent with greater swallow dysfunction. Vigor of the pharyngeal contraction was weakened, pharyngeal bolus propulsion was diminished, and flow resistance was increased. The swallow risk index, a global index of swallowing dysfunction, increased overall. Similar effects were found with morphine but the impact of remifentanil was greater in these experimental doses. 69 Conclusions: Remifentanil induced dysfunction of pharyngeal swallowing; this may contribute to the elevated risk of aspiration. ........................................................................................... FF24 Effect of Incorrectly Applied Cricoid Pressure During Rapid Sequence Induction. Evaluation With High-Resolution Manometry Richard Pellrud, M.D., Rebecca Ahlstrand, M.D.,Ph.D. Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Örebro University Hospital, Sweden Introduction: Cricoid pressure is often performed incorrectly, due to difficulties to locate the cricoid cartilage. Despite this, the effectiveness of an incorrectly applied cricoid pressure has not been investigated. We have used high-resolution manometry (HRM) to evaluate pressures in the upper esophagus during correctly applied cricoid pressure (against the cricoid cartilage) compared to incorrectly applied cricoid pressure (against the thyroid cartilage and the trachea) during a rapid sequence induction. Methods: 15 patients (ASA I-II), scheduled for elective surgery and intubation, participated. Before anesthesia the cricoid cartilage, the thyroid cartilage and the trachea (2 centimeters below the cricoid cartilage) were identified by palpation, verified by ultrasound and marked with a pen. All patients were preoxygenated for 3 min with 100 % oxygen. A rapid sequence induction with Fentanyl (2 μg/kg), Propofol (2 mg/kg) and Rocuronium (1 mg/kg) iv was performed. The manometry catheter was inserted transnasally into the esophagus and three standardized forces of 30 N were applied in apnea: against the thyroid cartilage, the cricoid cartilage and the trachea for 10 seconds each. Esophageal pressures were recorded continuously by a HRM-catheter.

In previous studies ELV was found to closely correlate to reference methods for functional residual capacity (FRC). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the stability of ELV during substantial manipulations of cardiac output (CO) and assess the agreement for absolute values and trending capacity during PEEP changes at different lung conditions. Methods: Ten mechanically ventilated pigs were included. The required concentration alterations of alveolar carbon dioxide were induced by a ventilatory pattern with cyclic reoccurring short inspiratory holds. The Sulphur hexafluoride wash-in/wash-out technique was used as reference for FRCPEEP. Cardiac output was altered by preload reduction and inotropic stimulation at PEEP 5 and 12 cm H2O both in normal lung conditions and after repeated lung lavages. Thyroid cartilage: 239 ± 184 Cricoid cartilage: 230 ± 180 Trachea: 301 ± 194 Results: ELV at baseline PEEP 5 was (mean (SD)), 810 (163) mL and decreased to 400 (42) mL after lavage. ELV was not significantly affected by CO alterations within the same PEEP level. The overall bias (limits of agreement) was -35 (-271 to 201) mL, and percentage error was 36 %. Trending capability between PEEP steps assessed by the four- quadrant plot technique showed a concordance rate of 100 %. Conclusion: Incorrectly applied cricoid pressure against the thyroid Conclusion: Results: Mean pressures (± SD) [mmHg] in the upper esophagus during an external force of 30N against: cartilage or trachea generates a significant rise of pressure in the region of the upper esophagus comparable to pressures generated by a cricoid pressure against the cricoid cartilage. In order to prevent passive regurgitation, the exact position of application of cricoid pressure seems to be of less importance. ........................................................................................... 70 ELV remained stable during significant changes in CO and correlated closely to the reference method for FRCPEEP. The trending capability was excellent both before and after surfactant depletion. ...........................................................................................

A randomized cross-over study ANOPIVA, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Solna Background: The intravenous alpha2-agonist dexmedetomidine (DEX) is being increasingly used for sedation worldwide. DEX has been put forward as a drug with minimal effect on ventilation. To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the regulation of breathing during sedation with DEX, we compared ventilatory responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia during sedation with DEX and propofol.

Few previous epidemiologic studies, however, have analysed premenopausal women as a separate group when addressing potential gender differences in critical care outcome. Our aim was to see if premenopausal aged women have a better outcome following critical care and to investigate the association between gender and use of intensive care unit (ICU) resources. Methods: Based on 127 254 consecutive Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3) -scored Swedish Intensive Care Registry ICU admissions from 2008-2012, we determined the risk-adjusted 30-day mortality, accumulated nurse workload score, and length of ICU stay. To investigate association with gender, we used logistic regression and multivariate analyses on the entire cohort as well as on two subgroups stratified by median age for menopause (up to and including 45 years and >45 years), and six selected diagnostic subgroups (sepsis, multiple trauma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia and cardiac arrest). Results: There was no gender difference in risk-adjusted mortality for the cohort as a whole, and there was no gender difference in risk-adjusted mortality in the group ≤45 years-of-age. For the group of patients > 45 years-of-age we found a reduced risk-adjusted mortality in males admitted for cardiac arrest. For the cohort as a whole, and for those admitted with multiple trauma, male gender was associated with a higher nurse workload score and a longer ICU stay.

DEX or propofol was administered as an intravenous bolus followed by an infusion. The protocol was repeated for both drugs in each volunteer on separate days. Sedation was monitored by Observer´s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (OAA/S), Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) and Bispectral Index (BIS). Hypoxic and hypercapnic ventilatory responses were measured 0.5 at rest, during sedation (OAA/S 2–4) and after recovery. Drug expo0.4 sure was verified with concentration analysis in plasma. Results: Ten subjects completed the0.3study. Compared to baseline, 0.2 sedation reduced hypoxic ventilatory response to 51 and 57% (see figure), and hypercapnic ventilatory response to 74 and 71% for DEX 0.1 Figure'3' and propofol, respectively. 0.0 Gender differences in outcome and use of resources do exist in Swedish intensive care, but to no advantage for women of premenopausal age database we found that premenopausal female gender was not associated with a survival advantage following intensive care in Sweden. When adjusted for age and severity of illness, male patients use more ICU-resources per admission than female patients. ...........................................................................................
