Kyle Gunnerson, MD
Dr. Kyle Gunnerson is Associate Professor in the Departments of Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, and Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan. He received his B.S. degree in Chemistry and Biology from Kansas Wesleyan University and his medical degree from the University of Kansas. Dr. Gunnerson trained in the combined Emergency Medicine/Internal Medicine program at Henry Ford Health System, after which he completed his critical care training at the University of Pittsburgh. He was a faculty member at Virginia Commonwealth University and served as the Division Chief of Critical Care in the Department of Anesthesiology, Associate Director of the Center for Adult Critical Care, Medical Director of the
Cardiac Surgery ICU, and the Medical Director for the ECMO program. Dr. Gunnerson’s research is funded by both industry and the federal government, focusing on early identification and resuscitation of patients in shock or at risk of organ dysfunction, including discovery and development of novel biomarkers, treatment of septic shock, utilization of ECMO, and the development of non-invasive therapeutic technologies. In 2013 Dr. Gunnerson moved to Michigan to work both in the CVICU as an intensivist and lead an ED-based Critical Care program. Dr. Gunnerson’s role as the Chief of the newly formed Division of Critical Care in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Michigan spans the tripartite mission of high quality clinical care, education, and innovative and collaborative research. Uniquely, Dr. Gunnerson has helped guide the creation of a dedicated Emergency Department Critical Care Unit in cooperation with the adult inpatient ICU’s.

EWS CONSIDERATIONS: NOT JUST THE ALGORITHM• Data source
– How in line with clinical care (EMR vs external system) will the EWS be?
• Analysis/Algorithm– What is the model performance of the selected EWS?– What is the optimal alert threshold selected? SN, SP, workup, detection– What type of quality control system is needed for ongoing scoring systems?
• Response– How mature or effective is the afferent arm (e.g. RRT) of the clinical response?– What is the training plan for end-users of the scoring system?– What are the response pathways? What is the follow up mechanism?– What is the communication plan for patients and families?
16

ICU SEVERITY SCORING SYSTEMS…… can provide useful information to predict risk ICU patient populations.
… typically need calibration (updating) for local and contemporary use
… require careful consideration of data availability, model performance, and predicted outcomes prior to implementation.
… can be integrated into Early Warning Systems, but further investigation is required to evaluate usability and effectiveness.

Describe the literature regarding double-coverage of suspected and confirmed gram-negative infections
Review current recommendations regarding duration of treatment for common infections in the ICU
Antibiotic Stewardship
Infectious Diseases Society of American (IDSA) / Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) Definition “Coordinated interventions designed to improve and measure the appropriate
use of antibiotic agents by promoting the selection of the optimal antibiotic drug regimen including dosing, duration of therapy, and route of administration”
Improved outcomes, reduced adverse events (including Clostridium difficile infection), improved susceptibilities to targeted antibiotics, optimization of resource utilization
Barlam TF, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016; 62:e51-e77.

Multidrug Therapy: Sepsis Guidelines
Definitions: multidrug vs combination therapy
Suggest empiric combination therapy in septic shock
Suggest empiric combination therapy not be routinely used for sepsis without shock
Recommend against combination therapy for routine treatment of neutropenic sepsis
Recommend de-escalation to monotherapy within first few days based on clinical improvement for both targeted and empiric therapy
Rhodes A, et al. Crit Care Med 2016;45:486-552.
Multidrug Therapy: Pneumonia Guidelines
Empiric therapy Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)
Suggest combination therapy only in patients with a risk factor for MDR, patients in an ICU where >10% gram negative isolates are resistant to agent being considered for monotherapy, or patients in an ICU where local susceptibility rates are not available
Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) Suggest combination therapy only in patients with factors increasing likelihood of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa or other gram-negative infection or high risk for mortality High risk for mortality: need for ventilator support or septic shock
Targeted therapy (P. aeruginosa) Recommend monotherapy in patients without shock or high risk of death Suggest combination therapy in patients who remain in shock or at high risk of death
Kalil AC, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016;63:1-51.
Antibiotic De-escalation
De-escalation widely recommended in various guidelines but no standard definition Systematic review 2016: N=1688
Factors positively associated with de-escalation Initially appropriate empiric therapy
Broad-spectrum empiric therapy
Compliance with guidelines
Treatment with multiple and “companion” antimicrobials
Positive cultures
Factors negatively associated with de-escalation Multidrug resistant pathogen
Polymicrobial infections
Intra-abdominal infections
. Tabah A, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016;62:1009-1017.
Page 24
Antibiotic De-escalation
Systematic review 2016: N=1688 Mortality: protective effect of de-escalation
No effect on antibiotic days
Two studies reported no effect regarding emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) organisms
Two studies reported lower costs associated with de-escalation
Reassess daily or as microbiology data results
Tabah A, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016;62:1009-1017.
Antibiotic De-escalation
Recommended by all major guidelines Sepsis guidelines: “thoughtful de-escalation of antimicrobials based on
adequate clinical improvement even if cultures are negative”
Pneumonia guidelines: patients without sputum cultures, decreased reliability of cultures, or high risk for MDR infections may not be candidates
Switch to monotherapy Sepsis guidelines: within the first few days but continue if remain in shock
Pneumonia guidelines Pseudomonas aeruginosa: continue combination therapy if remain in septic shock or
high risk of death
Kalil AC, et al. Clin Infect Dis 2016;63:1-51.Rhodes A, et al. Crit Care Med 2016;45:486-552.
Components of ICU Stewardship
Minimize duration Role of serum biomarkers
Reduce numbers of unnecessarily treated patients
Luyt CE, et al. Crit Care 2014;18:480-491.
Page 25
Duration of Therapy
Sepsis guidelines Suggest 7-10 days for most serious infections Suggest longer courses for slow clinical response, undrainable foci of infection,
bacteremia with S. aureus, some fungal and viral infections, or immunologic deficiencies

Conflict disclosure: much of my research involves sepsis and ARDS and Emory University receives funds on my behalf from NIH, FDA and for-profit companies
Interventions That MayDecrease ARDS Mortality
Validated: • Low tidal volume ventilation (ARMA trial, NEJM 2000)
– 25% RRR, 11% ARR in mortality at day 28– Meta-analyses confirmed reductions in 28-day and hospital mortality
Unvalidated:• Higher PEEP for patients with moderate-severe ARDS (P/F <200 mmHg)• Prone positioning
– RCT in France, 28-day mortality reduction 51% RRR, 16.8% ARR (Guerin NEJM 2013)– Meta analyses show improved mortality only in patients with ARDS and P/F <100
• Early paralysis– French RCT, 28-day mortality reduction 29% RRR, 9.6% ARR (Papazian NEJM 2010)– Being replicated by PETAL network, study terminated, results to be released next week at ATS
Interventions That Benefit the PatientPatient but Don’t Decrease MortalityValidated: • Fluid conservative fluid management (FACTT, NEJM 2006)
– 2.5 more days alive and free of mechanical ventilation (VFD, p<0.001)– 2.2 more days alive and free of the ICU (ICU-FD, p<0.001)– Fewer patients needing dialysis at day 60 (10% vs 14%, p=0.06)– More cardiovascular organ dysfunction (p=0.04), less CNS organ dysfunction
(p=0.02)– 10% RRR, 2.9% ARR in 28-day mortality (p=0.30)
Unvalidated:• Acute “rehabilitation” (ICU mobility)
– Shorter duration of mechanical ventilation– Shorter duration of ICU & hospital length of stay, with reduced costs– Fewer hospital re-admissions
Page 27
Nutrition in ARDS• Antioxidant vs. standard enteral nutrition
– Twice daily supplements of n-3 fatty acids, γ-linolenic acid and antioxidants (OMEGA study)
– ARDS-Net terminated the trial for “futility” after enrolling 272 ALI & ARDS patients
• Supplement patients had:– 8-fold increase in plasma eicosapentaenoic acid – More days with diarrhea (29% vs. 21%; p = 0.001)
– Fewer ventilator-free days (14.0 vs. 17.2; p = 0.02)
– Fewer ICU-free days (14.0 vs. 16.7; p = 0.04)
– Fewer non-pulmonary organ failure-free days (12.3 vs. 15.5; p = 0.02)
– Higher 60-day hospital mortality (26.6% vs. 16.3%; p = 0.054)
• EDEN study of early vs. late enteral nutrition in 1000 ALI & ARDS patients– Nutrition at ICU
admission vs. day 6• No difference in
mortality or other relevant clinical outcomes
• Less feeding intolerance in the late nutrition group
* Rice TW, et al. JAMA 2011; 306(14): 1574-1581.† Rice TW, et al. JAMA 2012; 307(8): 795-803.
In patients with documented ARDS, iNO at 1.25, 5, 20, 40, or 80 ppm:• Is associated with a significant improvement in oxygenation compared with placebo
over the first four hours of treatment. An improvement in oxygenation index was observed over the first four days.
• Acutely increased the PaO2 in 60% of the patients
• The percentage of patients having an acute increase in PaO2 and the magnitude of the change were similar in each of the inhaled NO dose groups.
• Appears to be well tolerated in doses between 1.25 to 40 ppm.
• Although these concentrations appear to be safe, it is prudent to closely monitor NO2
concentrations and methemoglobin levels.
• There are trends in decreasing the intensity of mechanical ventilation needed to maintain adequate oxygenation and improved patient benefit at 5 ppm inhaled NO.
Dellinger RP, et al. Crit Care Med 1998; 26(1): 15-23.
Inhaled Nitric Oxide in ARDS
Inhaled Nitric Oxide in ARDS• In patients with severe acute lung injury (PaO2/FiO2 250) but without
sepsis or other organ system failure, iNO at 5 ppm:– Induces short-term improvements in oxygenation with a 20% increase in PaO2
that were maintained only during 24 - 48 hours.– Does not improve clinical outcomes or mortality *
• iNO should not be routinely used in ARDS patients but may be considered (Grade C recommendation) as a salvage therapy in patients with life-threatening hypoxemia despite optimization of conventional mechanical ventilator support.
• Optimal iNO dosing should be determined each day because iNOsensitivity increases over time (no tachyphylaxis) and higher than necessary doses decrease oxygenation (dose-response) †
* Taylor RW, et al. JAMA 2004; 291(13) 1603-1609.† Gerlach H, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2003; 167(7): 1008-15.
Page 28
Prone PositioningPhysiology• Limits the expansion of cephalic and
parasternal lung regions
• Relieves the cardiac and abdominal compression exerted on the lower lobes
• Makes regional ventilation/perfusion ratios and chest elastance more uniform
• Facilitates drainage of secretions
• Potentiates the beneficial effect of recruitment maneuvers
Absolute contraindications– Burns or open wounds on the face or
ventral body surface– Spinal instability– Pelvic fractures– Life-threatening circulatory shock– Increased intracranial pressure
Main complications– Facial and periorbital edema– Pressure sores– Accidental loss-displacement of the
endotracheal tube, thoracic or abdominal drains, and central venous catheters
– Airway obstruction– Hypotension– Arrhythmias– Vomiting
Slutsky AS. N Engl J Med 2001; 345(8): 610-612.
Prone Positioning• Improves arterial oxygenation in more than 70% of patients in early stage of ARDS
• There are no features that differentiate between responders and non-responders
• When returning to the supine position, oxygenation may remain elevated or deteriorate
• Prone positioning does not increase short-term or long-term survival– In the most hypoxemic patients with a PaO2/FiO2 88 mmHg, a, SAPS II > 49, a high
tidal volume > 12 ml/kg of PBW, or all three, it may reduce mortality and limit VILI
• The optimum daily duration is not known. In clinical practice, the duration ranges between 6 and 12 hours per day.
• The optimum total duration and number of pronations depends on the effects on arterial oxygenation of supine repositioning

Prone Ventilation for Severe ARDS (PROSEVA)
• Prospective, multicenter RCT of early prone ventilation vs supine in severe ARDS
• 466 patients enrolled, P/F <150• Proned for 16 hrs consecutively• Prone ventilation reduction in
28 day mortality (16% vs 33%, HR 0.39, p<0.001)
• 90-day mortality decreased in prone group (24% vs 41%)
• No difference in adverse events between groups
Guerin et al. N Engl J Med 2013;368: 2159.
Rationale: Within seven days of the onset of ARDS, many patients exhibit a new phase of their disease marked by fibrotic lung disease or fibrosing alveolitis with alveolar collagen and fibronectin accumulation.Patient selection: Severe ARDS/ 7 days of mechanical ventilation with an LIS 2.5 and no evidence of untreated infectionTreatment protocol: Methylprednisolone
• Loading dose 2 mg/kg • 2 mg/kg/24 hours from day 1 to day 14• 1 mg/kg/24 hours from day 15 to day 21• 0.5 mg/kg/24 hours from day 22 to day 28• 0.25 mg/kg/24 hours on days 29 and 30• 0.125 mg/kg/24 hours on day 31 and 32
Conclusion: In patients with unresolving ARDS, prolonged administration of methylprednisolone was associated with improvement in LIS and MODS scores and reduced mortality.Problem: 24 patient cross-over study
Meduri GU, et al. JAMA 1998; 280(2): 159-165.
Corticosteroids and ARDS
Corticosteroids and ARDS• 180 patients with ARDS for 7 days• Methylprednisolone (MP) or placebo:
– 2 mg/kg x 14 days, 1 mg/kg x 7 days, then taper• No difference in 60-day or 6-month mortality
– Increased mortality if ARDS present > 14d at MP start• MP-treated patients had more ventilator-free days,
reduced vasopressor requirements, better oxygenation and respiratory system compliance
• Reintubation 3x more common in MP-treated patients, associated with shock and neuromyopathy
Steinberg KP, et al. N Engl J Med 2006; 354(16): 1671-1684.
Page 30
Corticosteroids and ARDS• 92 patients with ARDS 72 hours
• Methylprednisolone (MP) or placebo (2:1)– 1 mg/kg/day for 14 days, 0.5 mg/kg x 7d, 0.25 mg/kg x 7d
• MP-treated patients had greater reduction in LIS by day 7 (primary outcome) and MODS
• MP-treated patients had shortened duration of mechanical ventilation (5.0 vs. 9.5 days) and ICU stay (7.0 vs. 14.5 days), lower rates of infection and decreased mortality (20.6% vs. 42.9%)
Meduri GU, et al. Chest 2007; 131(4) 954-963.
Beta-Agonists in ALI/ARDS• 40 ALI / ARDS patients were randomized to
blindly receive either intravenous salbutamol (15 mcg/kg/hr) or placebo for 7 days (BALTI trial)
• Lung water (pulmonary edema) and airway plateau pressure decreased with salbutamol– Salbutamol use resulted in more supraventricular
arrhythmias and lower serum potassium
• No difference in duration of mechanical ventilation or survival
Perkins G, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2006; 173: 281-287.
Beta-Agonists in ALI/ARDS• Multi-center study of 282 ALI / ARDS patients
randomized to blindly receive aerosolized albuterol (5 mg) or saline q4 hours for 10 days
• Trial terminated early for “futility”– Ventilator-free days was less with albuterol (p=0.095)– Number of ICU days higher with albuterol (p=0.018)– Death before hospital discharge not different
(23.0% vs. 17.7%, p=0.30)– Modest increases in heart rate with albuterol (4 bpm)
• No measurements of lung water or edema

ECMO in ARDS
Abrams and Brodie. CHEST 2017; 152(3):639-649.
ECMO in ARDS• CESAR trial
– Only RCT evaluating ECMO in ARDS
– 180 patients randomized– Only 75% of those in ECMO arm
actually received ECMO– 30% of patients in control arm did
not receive LTVV– improved survival at 6 months
• Indications: Severe ARDS (LIS >3, pH<7.20)
• Contraindications: high risk for anticoagulation, ICH, refusal of blood products … (high-pressure or high FiO2, mechanical ventilation >7 days)
• Role of ECMO remains uncertain; variably used, most often as salvage
* Peek GJ, et al. Lancet 2009; 374(9698): 1351-63.
Page 33
Other Drug Therapy
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) (pulmonary vasodilatation and anti-inflammatory effects on neutrophils/macrophages)
Aerosolized prostacyclin (PGI2) (selective pulmonary vasodilatation of ventilated lung areas)
Almitrine (selective pulmonary vasoconstrictor of non-ventilated lung areas)
Surfactant (prevents alveolar collapse and protects against intrapulmonary injury and infection)
Antioxidants (protect the lung from free oxygen radical production)
Partial liquid ventilation (recruitment of collapsed areas and anti-inflammatory effect)
Anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, ketoconazole, lisofylline)
No recommendation can be made for their use - Rescue modality in the patient with refractory hypoxemia?
Combination Therapy in ARDS?• Combination of iNO and prone position
– Papazian L, et al. Crit Care Med. 1998.
• Combination of iNO and almitrine – Gallart L, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 1998.
• Combination of prone position, iNO, and almitrine– Jolliet P, et al. Crit Care Med. 1997. – Gillart T, et al. Can J Anaesth. 1998.
• Combination of iNO and iv prostacyclin– Kuhlen R, et al. Intensive Care Med. 1999.
Rehab Therapy in ARDS• ARDS patients require
prolonged respiratory support• Bed rest is associated with
prolonged weakness, myopathy and neurocognitive dysfunction
• Acute ICU “rehab” is associated with better outcomes, in a dose-dependent fashion, but not definitively studied in ARDS
Hashem MD, et al. CHEST 2016; 150(3):722-731.

Treating ARDSWhat has NOT worked:• Rosuvastatin (NEJM 2014)• Nebulized or IV β-agonists (AJRCCM 2009 & Lancet 2012)• Surfactant (NEJM 2004)• Ketoconazole (JAMA 2000), lisofylline (CCM 2002)• High frequency oscillatory ventilation (NEJM 2013)• Inhaled nitric oxide (JAMA 2004)• Supplementation of n-3 fatty acids, γ-linolenic acid, and
antioxidants (OMEGA study, JAMA 2011)• Pulmonary artery catheter instead of CVC (NEJM 2006)
Conclusions• Lung protective, low tidal volume, ventilation is the major proven strategy for
saving lives with ARDS• Beneficial non-ventilatory strategies include:
– Conservative fluid management• Potentially beneficial non-ventilatory strategies include:
– Early pharmacologic paralysis (pending ROSE study)– Prone position (awaiting validation)– Corticosteroids in ARDS (uncertain timing, dose, duration, patient selection)– ECMO (uncertain patient selection to balance risk and benefit)– ICU mobility and rehabilitation– ABCDEF bundle (e.g. minimizing delirium)
• Non-beneficial or potentially harmful non-ventilatory strategies include:– Inhaled or intravenous beta-agonists– Immune-modulating enteral nutrition (and early initiation of parenteral nutrition)– Pulmonary artery catheterization

1. Ang II should NOT be first‐line treatment
2. Ang II should not be used as a rescue therapy for moribund patients
3. Patient must have clinical features of distributive shock
4. Norepinephrine should be considered as first‐line therapy
5. With worsening shock and increasing vasopressor requirements (NE ≥ 0.05 mcg/kg/min), a balanced approach of vasopressors is recommended

Learning Objectives
1. Describe the most common causes of angioedema in the ICU setting
2. Develop a diagnosis and treatment plan for angioedema
What is the most common causes of angioedema in the inpatient setting?
10 year experience at Mass General:
69 patients requiring treatment for angioedema• 20 requiring intubation• 93% secondary to medications
– ACE inhibitors– NSAIDS/ASA– Direct mast cell degranulators– Other: (antibiotics, chemotherapy, anesthesia, progesterone)
• 1 ‐ hereditary angioedema• 3 ‐ idiopathic
Banerji A et al. Allergy Asthma Proc 29:88–92, 2008
Nonspecific Mast Cell Degranulators
• Opiates• Radiocontrast Media• Vancomycin• Amphotericin B• Dextromethorphan• Ethanol• Polymyxin B• Quinine• Muscle relaxants (pancuronium, vercuronium better
tolerated)• Local anesthetics (lidocaine, prilocaine, bupivacaine better
tolerated)

Histaminergic Angioedema
• Urticaria history suggests histamine is the etiology of the angioedema
• Typically quicker onset and resolves within 24 hours– If not chronic hives, look for underlying cause
within 2 hours of onset (drugs, foods, etc.)– ASA/NSAIDs often trigger angioedema in
chronic hives patients
• Treat with medications typical for anaphylaxis– Epinephrine 1:1000 IM– Antihistamines (2nd generation last longer)– Corticosteroids

Page 52
ACE inhibitor induced angioedema
• ACE inhibitors lead to bradykinin accumulation which results in angioedema
• Strong predilection for face, lips, and tongue– Bowel and extremity involvement less
common
• Not associated with urticaria• Typically occurs in 1st month of
treatment, can occur at any time• No testing available to confirm• May take up to 6 weeks to resolve even
after discontinuation

C1 inhibitor deficiency leads to bradykinin mediated angioedema
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)
• A deficiency in functional C1 inhibitor
• Autosomal dominant inheritance– 25% can be de novo mutations
• Estimated to afflict 1 in 50,000
• No ethnic predilection
• Onset usually begins in childhood, but is often unrecognized– Mean time from onset to diagnosis is ~ 10 years!
• Wide variation in presentation and severity
Zuraw BL, Christiansen SC. Middleton’s Allergy: Principles and Practice, 8th ed. 37, 588‐601.
Page 54
HAE: Clinical Presentation
• Prodrome– A tingling sensation
• Erythema Marginatumin 1/3 of pts– Minimally pruritic
– Serpiginous rash
• Slow, progressive swelling (over 24 hours)– Arms, legs, hands, feet are most common
Agostoni A et al. JACI 2004: 114(suppl):S51‐131
HAE: Clinical Presentation
• Slow, progressive swelling (over 24 hours)
– Arms, legs, hands, feet are most common
B – 2 hours, C – 6 hours
D – around 4‐6 hours
Ebo DG, Bridts CH. NEJM 2012; 367:1539
HAE Clinical Presentation
• Serious manifestations– Abdominal attacks
• Severe abdominal pain, N/V, rebound, guarding
• Sometimes exploratory lap has been done in the past
• 3rd spacing causing hypotension
• Secondary to bowel edema
– Laryngeal attacks• Over 50% of HAE patients have one laryngeal attack in their lifetime

Classification of Hereditary Angioedema
• Type I – 85% ‐ low C1 inhibitor levels– Mutations cause inefficient secretion of C1 inhibitor
• Type II – 15% ‐ nonfunctional C1 inhibitor– Mutations affect the active site of the protein– C1 inhibitor levels will be normal– C1 functional assay with be low
• Hereditary Angioedema with normal C1 inhibitor– Unclear etiology– More common in females– Requires family history for diagnosis

Idiopathic Angioedema
• Angioedema that has normal C1 inhibitor, no family history, and does not respond to high dose antihistamines
• Consider differential diagnosis
– SVC syndrome?
– Trauma?
– Mass effect?
• Consider trial of icatibant or eccalantide
Zuraw BL, Christiansen SC. Middleton’s Allergy: Principles and Practice, 8th ed. 37, 588‐601.
Summary
• Medications are the most common cause of inpatient angioedema– ACE inhibitors– NSAIDs and ASA– Mast cell degranulators
• Immunologic angioedema has two major types– Histaminergic typically is associated with hives– Bradykinin mediated is more rare, unless associated with an ACE inhibitor
• Medication History, Family History, C4 levels help elucidate the cause

Emergency based ICU is a safe and effective approach towards addressing current increases in demand of high acuity, traditional ICU patient, especially the < 24hr ICU admit
Takes a large multidisciplinary team approach
Cannot do this alone in the ED
Using a formal “LEAN” based approach was very effective in identifying and addressing obstacles and incorporating “best” practice strategies.
Continued data‐driven outcomes is essential to ongoing success

• Discuss management issues in specific systems:
– Cardiovascular
– Pulmonary
– Endocrine
• Describe research advances in donor management
• Review recent advances in the utilization of HIV and HCV positive donors
Pathophysiology of Critical Illness in Brain Death (1)
• Cardiovascular:– Progressive brain herniation results in an initial
catecholamine storm with associated hypertension, with subsequent spinal shock associated distributive shock(similar to septic shock physiology?)
• Pulmonary: – Risk for cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic pulmonary
edema associated hypoxemia, due to catecholamine storm associated hypertension and systemic cytokine mediated inflammatory response (similarity to extrathoracic/septic ARDS?)
Page 85
Pathophysiology (2)
• Endocrine: – Loss of posterior pituitary function, resulting in diabetes
insipidus associated hypotension and hypernatremia.– Possible derangements in ACTH and TRH, resulting in
adrenal insufficiency (similar to septic shock?) and thyroid hormone dysfunction
• Inflammatory:– Systemic pro-inflammatory cytokine mediated
inflammatory response possibly resulting from injured neural tissue and end organ ischemia-reperfusion injury (similarities to SIRS response in sepsis?)
Management of Organ System Derangements
CV Management (1):Fluid Management
• Target volume status? : Euvolemia vs Hypervolemia– Restrictive fluid strategy (CVP <6 mm Hg) shown not to adversely
affect renal graft survival or increase DGF (Minambres et al. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2010)
• Optimal hemodynamic monitoring?– In general critical care, fluid management guided increasingly by:
• dynamic indices of preload ( PPV, SVV) instead of static indices (CVP, PCWP)
• Echocardiography and Central Venous Saturation (ScVO2)
• MONITOR RCT ( Al-Khafaji et al. Intensive Care Med 2015)
– N= 556, comparing ‘protocolized’ vs ‘usual’ fluid therapy in DBD donors.
– Primary endpoint: OTPD
– Results: No difference in OTPD ( 3.39 P vs 3.29 U, P =0.56); no specific data on lung donor rates
Page 86
CV Management (1):Choice of Fluid
• Crystalloid vs Colloid ?– No studies comparing these options in organ donors, with
crystalloids being the conventional choice
– In general critical care, comparisons of albumin vs NS showed no difference in ICU mortality ( e.g. SAFE study, Finfer et al. NEJM 2004)
• RCT, n=6997; Primary endpoint: 28 day mortality
• RR for albumin: 0.99 (0.91- 1.09)
– Potential role for albumin in improving oxygenation in ARDS when combined with furosemide ( Martin et al. Crit Care Med 2002)
• Blood Transfusion Target?– No studies related to organ donor management
– Based on current CCM guidelines, restrictive transfusion strategy to maintain Hgb > 7g/ dl ( TRICC trial. Hebert et al. NEJM 1999; of note, fewer cases of pulmonary edema in ‘restrictive strategy’ group)
CV Management (2):Vasoactive Drug Therapy-a
• Dopamine:
– Traditionally first-line agent due to potential immunomodulatory and anti IR properties
– Beneficial effects of low dose (4ug/kg/min) on renal graft function
( Schuelle et al. JAMA 2009)
• RCT, n= 487. Primary endpoint: Dialysis requirement during 1st
week post txt
• Results: reduction in dialysis requirement ( D 24.7% vs C 35.4%, P=0.01)
– De-emphasized increasingly in septic shock management
• Vasopressin:
– Attractive option in DBD given vasoactive and antidiuretic properties
– Increasing use as 1st or 2nd line agent in donor management
– Associated with increased rate of organ recovery in observational study of OPTN DBD data (Plurad et al. Am J Surg 2012)
CV Management (2):Vasoactive Drug Therapy-b
• Norepinephrine:
– Traditionally 2nd or 3rd line option for pressor choice
– Theoretical concern of more potent α-receptor stimulation, with associated coronary, mesenteric and pulmonary vasocontriction
– Increasing prominence in general critical care ( 1st line agent for septic shock)
• Thyroxine (T4):
– Conflicting evidence regarding its efficacy
– Retrospective studies suggest beneficial effect in patients with hemodynamic instability and depressed EF, with associated improved OTPD ( e.g. Salim et al. Clin Transplant 2007)
– Current expert recommendations suggest thyroid replacement therapy for hemodynamically unstable donors, or for potential cardiac donors with abnormal EF ( < 45%)
Page 87
Pulmonary Issues
• Minimal acceptable P/F ratio?– Standard criteria: PO2 > 300 mm Hg on 100% FIO2 and PEEP 5
– However, studies have demonstrated acceptable graft and patient survival with lower PO2 ( e.g. Reyes et al. Ann Thorac Surg 2010)
• Analysis of UNOS lung donor database (n=10,0000) found 18% of cases (n=1751) with P/F < 300, with lowest value of 230 mm Hg.
• Graft and patient survival similar in P/F groups < & > 300
• Fluid strategy to optimize lung donation?– Restrictive fluid strategy (CVP <6 mm Hg) shown to increase lung
donation without adversely affecting renal graft survival or increasing risk of DGF (Minambres et al. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2010)
– Potential role for albumin in improving oxygenation when combined with furosemide? ( Martin et al. Crit Care Med 2002)
Pulmonary Issues:Ventilator Strategies
• Optimal ventilator settings?– As in general critical care, benefits of ‘lung protective ventilation’
using lower tidal volumes (6-8 ml/kg PBW) being increasingly used to minimize ventilator associated lung injury
– European RCT demonstrates benefit of low tidal volume ventilation on lung recovery: (Mascia et al. JAMA 2010)
• N= 118
• Conventional Vent Strategy (n=59); TV 10-12 ml/kg PBW, PEEP 5
• Protective Vent Strategy (n=59); TV 6-8 ml/ kg PBW, PEEP 8-10
• Lung Recovery rates: P 54% vs C 27% (P < 0.05)
• Recruitment Strategies:– Increasing use of initial high PEEP (8-10)
– Protocolized recruitment maneuvers (e.g. San Antonio protocol- PC 25 PEEP 15 for 2 hrs)
Lung Donation and Intensivist Involvement
Singbartl et al. AJT 2011; 11: 1517
Page 88
Endocrine Issues• Evidence for Corticosteroid benefit?
– Rationale: Mitigate the proinflammatory cytokine storm related to brain death that can adversely affect graft function
– RCT related to donor livers(n=100): ( Kotsch et al. Ann Surg 2008)
• decreased proinflammatory serum cytokine levels, IR injury and ACR in steroid treated hepatic grafts
– Retrospective study related to donor lungs ( Follette et al. J Heart Lung Transplant 1998)
• Improved oxygenation and lung donation in steroid group
– RCT in donor kidneys (Kainz et al. Ann Intern Med 2010) and retrospective study in heart donors did not demonstrate steroid benefit with respect to graft function
– No documented benefit of steroid on MAP; role for hydrocortisone?
Research Advances• Ex-vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) (Cypel et al. NEJM 2011):
– Rationale: Perfusion of lungs with hyperoncotic acellular perfusate to extract extravascular lung fluid, and thereby improve oxygenation.
– EVLP successfully used to convert 20 high risk donor lungs ( P/F < 300) to acceptable donor criteria median P/F increase from 335 mm Hg to 443 mm Hg
• Post transplant graft function similar to ‘standard criteria donor’control group
• Hypothermia and Renal graft function (Niemann et al. NEJM 2015):– Rationale: Mild hypothermia may confer a renal-protective effect in the
setting of IR injury related to brain death.
– RCT,n=370. Hypothermia: 34 to 35° C, Normothermia: 36.5 to 37.5°C
– Primary endpoint: DGF
– Results: DGF Rates ( adjusted for multiple donor co-variates)
Overall: 28% H vs 39% N (OR 0.62, CI 0.43 to 0.92)
ECD: 31% H vs 56% N (OR 0.31, CI 0.15 to 0.68)
No adverse effects of hypothermia noted.
Utilization of HIV and HCV Positive Donors
• HIV Positive Donors:– HOPE (HIV Organ Policy Equity) Act (2013) authorizes
clinical research related to transplanting organs from HIV positive donors to HIV positive recipients.
– Current multi-center study under way in kidney and liver transplantation, with potential implications regarding increased use of HIV positive organs.
• HCV Positive Donors:– New highly effective PO antiviral therapy for HCV with high
rates of eradication
– Therefore, renewed interest in utilizing HCV positive donors for HCV positive recipients ( and potentially HCV negative recipients)
Page 89
Summary• Paucity of evidence based practices in critical care related to donor
management
• Best practices from general critical care may provide useful insights into donor management (e.g. lung protective ventilation)
• The unique physiology of brain death lends itself to specific novel research questions that need further inquiry ( e.g. role of thyroid hormone in hemodynamic management)
• The success of EVLP may further stimulate interest in other perfusion systems to enhance donor organ function (e.g. normothermic liver perfusion)
• The success of mild hypothermia in renal donors may stimulate hypothermia research in other donor organs
• Increased use of HIV and HCV positive donors will expand the donor pool

Crisis Standards of Care in an Environment of Scarce Resources: Ethical Values & Processes
Page 107
Beneficence and Nonmaleficence
• Beneficence is action that is done for the benefit of others.
• Nonmaleficence means to do no harm.
• One of the most common ethical dilemmas and plays a role in all medical decision making.
• Intervention must outweigh the risks to be ethical
Crisis Standards of Care• Crisis Standards of Care (CSC) is
defined as a substantial change in usual healthcare operations & care delivery, which is made necessary by a pervasive or catastrophic disaster. Institute of Medicine (IOM)
• Shifting to Crisis Standards of Care is justified by specific circumstances and is formally declared by state government, thus enabling specific legal and regulatory powers and protections for healthcare providers in the necessary tasks of allocating and using scarce medical resources and implementing alternate care facility operations.
Crisis Standards of Care• Duty to care
– Moral obligations
– “Duty to provide the best care possible”
• Necessity of Rationing.– Not whether, but how to implement

Mass Casualty Triage• Triage: The assignment of degrees of
urgency to wounds or illnesses to decide the order of treatment for a large number of patients or casualties.
• Multiple methods, Start, Jump-Start, SALT
• The Model Uniform Core Criteria (MUCC) for Mass Casualty Triage is a science and consensus based national guideline that recommends 24 core criteria for all mass casualty triage systems.
Challenges with Mass Casualty Triage
• Requires efficiency and coordination among multiple response agencies.
• Doing the greatest good for the greatest amount of people, is counter to day-to-day operations.
• Plans are complex, field personnel may not know the details of the plans.
• Lack of standardized processes
• Provider experience
Page 109
Triage Tags
Background• There have been multiple mass casualty
events in the past twelve years. Madrid, London, Mumbai, Boston, Paris, San Bernardino, Brussels, Orlando, Nice, Las Vegas.
• 2008 Congressional study showed that the United States was ill prepared to handle an incident like Madrid.
• Boston response handled well, but atypical because of extenuating circumstances.
• Hospitals must focus on the concept of Immediate Bed Availability in the emergency department.
• Multiple surges present in waves as the incident evolves.
Background• Mortality numbers blurred by “walking
wounded”.
• 60% of victims self transport to closest hospital(s).
• Percentage of critical injuries remains constant at 7-10%.
• EMS must coordinate with hospitals and focus efforts on these critically injured patients.
• Focusing on this subset of patients, and leveraging damage control surgery, has the most impact on mitigating mortality.
Page 110
Background• Systems become overwhelmed and are
temporarily unable to provide care to all.
• Ethical principles must be applied.
• Need for pre-established crisis standards of care
Madrid• March 11, 2004 ten bombs detonated on
four commuter trains during the morning rush hour. 191 deaths.
• Over 1,800 injured.
London• July 7, 2005, four suicide bombers
detonated portable devices on three underground trains and a commuter bus in London between 8:50 am and 9:47 am.
• Largest MCI since World War 2.
• 52 dead.
• ~ 700 injuries.
• Sites cleared of casualties within four hours.
Page 111
Paris• November 13, 2015, 3 explosions and
four shootings in the heart of Paris.
• Ironically the SAMU had conducted a FSE that morning for the same type of event.
• 131 deaths.
• ~300 injuries.
Brussels• March 22, 2016, two coordinated attacks,
using an active shooter and bombs.
• Brussels-Zaventem International Airport.
• Maalbeek Metro Station.
• 35 dead.
• ~300 injuries.
• 60 critically injured.
Orlando• June 12, 2016, active shooter attack.
• Pulse Nightclub.
• 50 dead.
• 52 injuries.– 44 to ORMC ~ 1 block away
– 8 to Florida Hospital Orlando.
Page 112
Nice• July 14, 2016, 19 ton cargo truck driven
into a crowd.
• Bastille Day Celebration in Nice, France.
• 86 dead.
• 434 injuries.
Las Vegas• Route 91 Harvest Music festival
• 59 dead, 527 injured
• ~21,500 self evacuated
• High velocity rifle/sniper attack
• Less than 20% transported by EMS
Lessons Learned• Controlling and Securing Incident Sites
– Incident Command
– Clear roles and procedures
– Processing victims
• Use of Emergency Resources
– Onsite triage and clinical prioritization of hospital bound patients
– Keeping personnel in reserve to manage additional incidents
– Plans to quickly create bed space in emergency departments
– Need to move EMS triage to ambulance ramp
• Communications
– Information control
– Coping with telecommunications outages
– Open and frequent communications between responders and victims
Page 113
Current State• Multiple hospitals and emergency
departments at capacity.
• EDs boarding multiple admissions.
• Multiple EDs on diversion
• Limited capacity for patient surges.
• EMS capabilities are strained..
• RCHs and MOUs with hospitals
• Engagement
Assumptions
• Personnel will step up to do the best they can to manage the event.
• Medical infrastructure has to absorb casualties.
• The numbers of critically ill victims remains constant at 7-10 percent, and are the patients who we can most impact.
– Damage control surgical strategies work.
• Patient volumes in ED and the numbers of EMS calls will remain at baseline, or may increase.
• “Walking wounded” patients, self-transport.
• Trauma will have to be managed at “Non-Trauma” hospitals.

Case
• 19 y/o healthy male college student who just finished exams and spent the weekend moving out of his dorm room
• Found by his parents on delirious and tachypneic
• EMS was called and transported him to a local hospital
• Found to have significant hypoxia, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates
• Started on vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam
• Emergently intubated difficult to ventilate diagnosed with ARDS transferred to a larger hospital cannulated for VA ECMO with plans to transfer to Emory for ECMO management
Case
• No known sick contacts• Roommate, girlfriend, and parents are without recent illnesses
• By the time of transfer to Emory University Hospital• Blood cultures were no growth to date (~48 hours)
• Monospot negative
• HIV‐1/2 antibody negative
• Rapid influenza negative
• Mini BAL Gram stain: Rare WBCs, rare squamous epithelial cells, no organisms
• WBC count, platelet count, creatinine, other labs were normal

Common Diagnostics for Respiratory Pathogens
• Cultures• Sensitivity for common bacterial and fungi• Less sensitive for atypical pathogens• Required for susceptibility testing
• Antigen testing for specific organisms• Cryptococcus, Histoplasma, Legionella, pneumococcal• Sensitive and specific• Often long turn around time because sent out via referrals
• Respiratory Viral panels• Multiple targets to detect pathogens from one sample• Can be cumbersome, multistep process to set up and run• Often batched, delaying results
Where are the Clinical Microbiologists taking us?
“Let’s MALDI it”
• Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight (MALDI‐TOF) mass spectrometry
L Bourassa, SM Butler‐Wu. Methods in Microbiology 2015Courtesy of Eileen Burd, PhD
Page 118
Advantages of MALDI‐TOF
• Rapid identification of the organism species• Within an hour from detectable culture growth vs 24‐48 hours by traditional methods
• An even greater difference more fastidious bacteria
• Requires only a small amount of microorganism (a single colony)
• Does not require a predefined target as compared to molecular techniques
• Does not need pre‐differentiation (e.g. gram‐positive bacteria vs gram‐negative bacteria)
American Proficiency Institute – 2014
Limitations to MALDI TOF
• Culture of the microorganism is currently still necessary
• Reference spectra databases are limited for many genera• They can be amended by company’s updates or by internal laboratory personnel
• Closely related species or genera are sometimes confused
• Capital equipment costs are high• However long‐term cost saving to both the laboratory and the clinical enterprise should offset this with time
American Proficiency Institute – 2014
• 12‐month retrospective cost savings analysis of potential at the University of North Carolina hospitals after implementation of MALDI‐TOF MS for routine identification of bacteria and yeasts
• Examined reagent costs and a total cost analysis (technologist time + reagent expenses + maintenance service agreement)
• Reagent cost savings of $69,108.61, or 87.8%, in over 12 months
• Total cost savings of $73,646.18, or 51.7%
• Return on investment at ~3 years
Page 119
Key Pearls for Clinicians with MALDI‐TOF
• You will see genus and species of bacteria and fungi identified earlier• Use your local antibiogram to focus antimicrobial
• You will see species that you do not recognize• They previously identified as groups (eg viridans Streptococci, Mycobacteria abscessus), but now you are given the exact species
• You will not see the susceptibility testing at the same time as the species identification
• Susceptibility testing usually still needs another 24‐48 hours of incubation
• Use the local antibiogram
• If you see something that does not make sense, call you Microbiology lab or your friendly neighborhood ID doc
Random access molecular testing
Random access molecular testing
• Many companies out there• FilmArray (previously Biofire), Cepheid, Verigene, Prodesse, BD MAX
• Some are single pathogen• C diff, Influenza
• Some are Multiplex• Respiratory viral panels
• Gastrointestinal panels
• CNS infection panels
• Blood culture identification

But these tests are not magic bullets
• False‐positive result for Herpes Simplex by multiplex assay
• Received 7 days of antivirals, but worsened
• Finally diagnosed with TB meningitis after repeat LP
CA Gomez, et al. OFID, 4 (1), 2017, ofw245
Page 121
And also false‐negatives
EB Popowitch, et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2013; 51(5)
Limitations to the random access multiplex tests
• Usually only approved from certain sample types• e.g. Biofire Respiratory panel approved nasopharyngeal swabs, not on lower respiratory samples
• Different sensitivities and specificities for different pathogens in the assays
• False positive and false negative results are more common than we would like
• If the result does not make sense or if the patient does not get better, question the result
• Cost• $700 ‐ $1500 a test!

Key Challenges to PC‐ICU Integration• Timing
• Consult Boundaries
• Level of Response
– Palliative care team – who is needed?
• Concern about duplicity
– PC Social Worker/Chaplain vs. ICU Social Worker/Chaplain
• Concern about “added value”
– Do more cooks in the kitchen deliver a better outcome?
• Don’t need another group of “Monday Morning Quarter backers”

Possible Benefits• Another set of eyes and ears to assess:– Perception of effectiveness?
• What have you heard the ICU say about what’s happening with you?
– Are key needs met?• Symptoms• Spiritual• Social
– Communication gaps• What was missed? Who else needs to be communicated with?

Patient A
• 35 yo male with no relevant PMH
• Admitted with hypoxemic respiratory failure and intubated 2 days ago
• Influenza A
• Worsening oxygenation
– 100% FiO2, 18 PEEP, P/F 55, on NM blockade
• Hemodynamically stable and other organs intact
Patient B
• 74 yo male with h/o CABG x 4, ischemic cardiomyopathy (EF 40%), and CKD 2
• Admitted with hypoxemic respiratory failure 10 days ago in context of influenza A
• V‐V ECMO for past week
• CRRT and high‐dose vasopressors
• Family aware of severity of illness, son arriving from out of state tomorrow and plan to de‐escalate
The Problem
Patient A needs ECMO, but no machines are available. This patient is not stable for transport to another facility.
Page 139
Potential Solutions
1. Treat Patient A the best you can, cannulate for ECMO as soon as Patient B’s family decides to de‐escalate.
2. Tell Patient B’s family that you cannot keep Patient B on ECMO any longer because he cannot be saved and there is someone who needs the therapy.
3. Tell Patient B’s family that you cannot keep Patient B on ECMO any longer because he cannot be saved but do not say anything about other patients.
4. Tell Patient B’s family that you need to use the ECMO machine for another patient, but ultimately it is their choice when/whether to de‐escalate therapy.
Key Challenges
• These issues receive attention in public health emergencies, but we face them regularly in individual cases
• Much more challenging to address in individual cases because no policy guidance
• Optimal strategies are not defined for communication with families

Intra‐Abdominal Hypertension and the Abdominal Compartment
SyndromeWENDY GREENE, MD FACS FCCM
Southeastern Critical Care Summit
MAY 11, 2018
No conflicts of interest to disclose
Objectives
• Presentation
• Given a hypotensive and anuric patient
who has undergone massive fluid
resuscitation after exploratory laparotomy
for intra‐abdominal sepsis, the participant
can independently recognize intra‐
abdominal hypertension and abdominal
compartment syndrome.
Objectives
• Diagnosis
• In a patient with suspected abdominal compartment syndrome, the participant can describe the technique of intravesicularmeasurement.
• Operative Treatment (General Concepts)
o Given a patient with suspected abdominal compartment syndrome, the participant can identify when to call for surgical consultation.
Page 143
Objectives
• Non‐Operative Management, including Alternative and Adjuvant Treatments
– Given a patient with intra‐abdominal hypertension, the participant can describe non‐operative management.
– Given a patient with abdominal compartment syndrome the participant can describe when alternatives to operative management are appropriate.
Background
• Definition
• Intra‐Abdominal Pressure (IAP): pressure in abdominal cavity
• How ensure accurate IAP measurements
– End of expiration
– Supine
– No abdominal muscle contraction
– Transducer zeroed at midaxillary line
Intra‐Abdominal Pressure (IAP)
• Grade I, IAP 12‐15 mmHg
• Grade II, IAP 16‐20 mmHg

Intraabdominal Hypertension
• Definition: Sustained intraabdominal pressure (IAP) ≥12 mmHg (nml 5‐7mmHg)
• Categories of IAH and timing of symptoms
– Hyperacute: seconds (laugh)
– Acute: hours (trauma)
– Subacute: days (medical patient)
– Chronic: months/years (pregnancy obesity)
Definition
• Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS)
• Organ dysfunction caused by intra‐abdominal pressure >20 (+/‐ Abdominal Perfusion Pressure “APP” <60 mmHg) that is associated with new organ dysfunction / failure
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
• Classification ACS
• Primary ACS: if the intra‐abdominal hypertension is due to intra‐abdominal injury
• Secondary ACS: if the splanchnic reperfusion occurs after massive resuscitation.
Page 145
Etiology
Primary ACS:
• Injury/disease to abdominal pelvic region
• Abdominal trauma
• Hemoperitoneum
• Pancreatitis
• Abdominal surgery
Secondary ACS:
• Injury/disease outside of abdominal/pelvic region
• fluid resuscitation, sepsis, burns; due to edema and ascites after shock and aggressive resuscitation
Etiology
Recurrent ACS:
redevelopment of the abdominal compartment syndrome following treatment of a primary or secondary type.
Etiology
Abdominal:
• Massive ascites,
• bowel distension,
• abdominal surgery
• intraperitoneal bleeding
• Retroperitoneal:
• ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
• pelvic fracture with bleeding
• pancreatitis
Page 146
Evidence Based Risk Factors
• Abdominal Surgery
• Acidemia
• Acute Pancreatitis
• Age
• Gastroparesis/ileus
• Hemo‐/pneumoperitoneum
• Increased head of bed angle
• Intra‐abdominal infection
(WSACS 2013 Guidelines)
• Liver dysfunction
• Major trauma
• Massive fluid resuscitation
• Mechanical Ventilation
• Obesity
• PEEP > 10
• Polytransfusion
• Prone positioning
• Sepsis
• Shock
Morbidity and Mortality
• Mortality for patients who have progressed to ACS: 10.6‐100%
• Most deaths are due to sepsis or multiple organ failure
• Majority of deaths within first 24 hours of injury
• Mortality is directly affected by decompression
– Evidence supports use of selective mesh closure after laparotomy for prevention
Pathophysiology
–Affects ALL systems of the body:
–Cardiovascular: Decreased CO; Markedly increased SVR
–Pulmonary: Reduced chest wall compliance and tidal volume; resulting in hypoxemia and hypercarbia
Page 147
Pathophysiology
–Renal: Renal vein compression results in decreased venous drainage
–GI: Decreased Mesenteric blood flow
–Hepatic: Impaired ability to remove lactic acid
–CNS: Elevated ICP
Systemic Effects

Presentation
• Critically ill
–Unable/Difficult to communicate symptoms
• Physical Exam
– IAP≥25 mmHg
–Distended abdomen
–Progressive oliguria
– Increased ventilator requirements
• Imaging not shown to be helpful
Page 148
Diagnostic Evaluation
• Definitive Diagnosis requires measurement of intraabdominal pressure
• Measure indirectly using intragastric, intracolonic, intravesical (bladder), or IVC catheters
• Measure directly with an intraperitoneal catheter
• Consistent head position and body positioning
Bladder Pressure Monitor
• Bladder pressure monitoring through the Foley catheter is:
• The standard IAP measurement tool
• Non‐invasive
• Reliable
• Reproducible
• (WSACS 2013)
Measurement of IAP
Page 149
Management
• Supportive Care: neuromuscular blockade
• Ventilator Support
• Hemodynamic Support
• Surgical Decompression
–Percutaneous drain to remove fluid
–Decompressive Celiotomy
–Bedside laparotomy
• We could make no recommendation regardinguse of diuretics to mobilize fluids in hemodynamically stable patients with IAH after the acute resuscitation has been completed and the inciting issues/source control have been addressed
• We could make no recommendation regardingthe use of renal replacement therapies to mobilize fluid in hemodynamically stable patients with IAH after the acute resuscitation has been completed and the incitingissues/source control have been addressed
Page 150
• We could make n o recommendation regardingthe administration of albumin versus not, tomobilize fluid in hemodynamically stable patients with IAH after the acute resuscitation has been completed and the incitingissues/source control have been addressed

Temporary Abdominal Closure
• Goal: Control fluid losses and minimize loss of domain
• Techniques:
– Patch
– Negative Pressure Wound Systems
• Towel based
• Sponge Based
– Skin only

Case: Dyspnea in ER
67 y.o. female presenting to ER with pleurisy, dyspnea• Hypotensive, agitated, H&P suggest liver disease• IVF resuscitation, intubation, sedation• Worsened over next 4‐6 hours ‐ Difficult to ventilate, hypoxic/hypercarbic, hypotension, no UOP.
• IAP = 45 mm Hg, abdominal ultrasound showed tense ascites paracentesis of 4500 cc fluid (IAP = 14)
• Immediate resolution of renal, pulmonary and hemodynamic compromise.
• Pathology shows malignant effusion – pancreatic CA.• Care withdrawn at later time and allowed to expire.
Etzion, Am J EM 2004
Case: Aspiration patient
77 y.o. male aspirated on general medicine floor. Transferred to MICU & intubated; hypotensive.
• 10 liters IVF overnight, Levophed 40 mcg/min. • Anuric (35 ml urine in 8 hours). • IAP = 31 mm Hg. KUB – massively distended small and large bowel. U/S shows no free ascitic fluid.
• Surgeon consulted for possible decompressive surgery• Rx: NGT, Rectal Tube, oral cathartics• 1 hour later: IAP 12 mm Hg, UOP 210 ml, norepinephrine discontinued.
Cheatham, WSACS 2006
Pearls
• Trauma is not required for ACS to develop:
• Intra‐abdominal hypertension and ACS occur in many settings (PICU, MICU, SICU, CVICU, NCC, OR, ER).
• IAP measurements are clinically useful: Help to determine if IAH is contributing to organ dysfunction (i.e. useful if normal or abnormal)
Page 153
• Trauma is not required for ACS to develop:
• “Spot” IAP check results in delayed diagnosis:
• Waiting for clinically obvious ACS to develop before checking IAP changes urgent problem to emergent one.
• IAP monitoring will allow early detection and early intervention for IAH before ACS develops.
WSACS Recommendations

– In a young patient with a wide complex, aberrantly conducted rhythm, consider
pre‐excited afib through an accessory pathway (e.g. WPW)
– If hemodynamically stable, avoid agents that would preferentially block the AVN

Time to Treatment and Mortality during Mandated Emergency Care for Sepsis
• Results– 111,816 patients screened 49,337 eligible
– 82.5% completed 3‐hour bundle within 3 hours• Median time – 1.30 hours (0.65 – 2.35)
• Median time to antibiotics – 0.95 hours (0.35 – 1.95)
• Median time to fluids – 2.56 hours (1.33 – 4.20)
– Characteristics of the patients who had the 3‐hour bundle completed within 3 hours were similar to those who had it completed between hours 3 through 12

Rib fracture fixation for flail chest: what is the benefit?J Am Coll Surg. 2012 Aug;215(2):201‐5. doi: 10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2012.02.023.
Epub 2012 May 4.Bhatnagar A1, Mayberry J, Nirula R.
BACKGROUND:
Recently, rib fracture fixation for flail chest has been used increasingly at both academic and nonacademic trauma centers. Although a few small non‐US studies have demonstrated a clinical benefit, it was unclear whether this benefit outweighed the added expense and potential perioperative complications related to the procedure. Therefore, a study was performed to determine if open reduction and internal fixation of ribs for flail chest (ORIF‐FC) provided a cost‐effective means for managing these patients.
STUDY DESIGN:
Medicare 2010 reimbursement costs were used for diagnoses and procedures. A quality of life improvement factor ranging from 0 to 15% improvement was used to estimate the improvement in pain and functional outcomes related to ORIF‐FC. The most cost‐effective treatment was then determined, ranging the incidences of ventilator‐associated pneumonia and quality of life improvement factor.
RESULTS:
Cost effectiveness was $15,269 for ORIF‐FC compared with $16,810 for standard of care. Even when the quality of life improvement factor was set to 0%, rib fixation remained the most cost‐effective strategy. Similarly, rib fixation was the most cost‐effective strategy by $8,400 even though the incidence of ventilator‐associated pneumonia after the procedure was as high as 22%.
CONCLUSIONS:
Despite the additional cost of surgery, rib fracture fixation was deemed the standard of care, particularly in the management of appropriate flail chest patients based on these study findings.
Operative management versus non‐operative management of rib fracturesin flail chest injuries: a systematic review.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg. 2017 Apr;43(2):163‐168. doi: 10.1007/s00068‐016‐0721‐2. Epub 2016 Aug 29.Schuurmans J1, Goslings JC2, Schepers T2.
PURPOSE:
Flail chest is a life‐threatening complication of severe chest trauma with a mortality rate of up to 15%. Standard non‐operative management has high comorbidities with pneumonia and often leads to extended ICU stay, due to insufficient respiratory function and complications.
METHODS:
Randomized‐controlled trials comparing operative management versus non‐operative management of flail chest were evaluated in this systematic review and meta‐analysis. PubMed, Trip Database, and Google Scholar were used for the study . Mean difference and risk ratio for mortality, pneumonia rate, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of ICU stay, duration of hospital stay, tracheostomy rate, and treatment costs were calculated by pooling these publication results.
RESULTS:
Three randomized‐controlled trials were included in this systematic review. In total, 61 patients received operative management compared to 62 patients in the non‐operative group. A positive effect of surgical rib fracture fixation was observed for pneumonia rate [ES 0.5, 95 % CI (0.3, 0.7)], days of mechanical ventilation (DMV) [ES ‐6.5 days 95 % CI (‐11.9, ‐1.2)], ICU LOS [ES ‐5.2 days 95 % CI (‐6.2, ‐4.2)], hospital LOS [ES ‐11.4 days 95 % CI (‐12.4, ‐10.4)], tracheostomy rate (TRCH) [ES 0.4, 95 % CI (0.2, 0.7)], and treatment costs (saving $9.968,00‐14.443,00 per patient). There was no significant difference was noted in mortality rate [ES 0.6, 95 % CI (0.1, 2.4)] between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS:
Despite the relatively small number of patients included, different methodologies and differences in presentation of outcomes, operative management of flail chest using rib fixation still appears to be a promising treatment strategy that improves patients' outcomes in various ways. However, a clear mortality reduction benefit remains inconclusive.

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta for control of non‐compressible truncal hemorrhage in the abdomen and pelvis.
Am J Surg. 2016 Dec;212(6):1222‐1230. doi: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2016.09.027. Epub 2016 Sep 30.Moore LJ1, Martin CD2, Harvin JA3, Wade CE3, Holcomb JB3.
BACKGROUND:
Non-compressible truncal hemorrhage is a leading cause of potentially preventable death in trauma and acute care surgery patients. These patients are at high risk of exsanguination before potentially life-saving surgical intervention may be performed. Temporary aortic occlusion is an effective means of augmenting systolic blood pressure and perfusion of the heart and brain in these patients. The traditional method for temporary aortic occlusion is via resuscitative thoracotomy with cross clamping of the descending aorta. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been used to achieve temporary aortic occlusion. The purpose of this study was to describe the experience with the implementation of REBOA at our Level 1 trauma center.
METHODS:
A retrospective case series describing all cases of REBOA performed at a prominent level 1 trauma center between October 2011 and September 2015. The study inclusion criteria were any patient that received a REBOA procedure in the acute phases after injury. There were no exclusion criteria. Data were collected from electronic medical records and the hospital's trauma registry.
RESULTS:
A total of 31 patients underwent REBOA during the study period. The majority (87%) of patients had sustained blunt trauma. The median injury severity score was 34 (IQR = 22 to 42). The overall survival rate was 32% but varied greatly between subgroups. Balloon inflation resulted in a median increase in systolic blood pressure of 55-mm Hg (IQR 33 to 60), in cases where the data were available (n = 20). A return to spontaneous circulation was noted in 60% of patients who had arrested before REBOA (n = 10). Overall, early death by hemorrhage was 28% with only 2 deaths in the emergency department before reaching the operating room.
CONCLUSIONS:
REBOA was found to be an effective method for achieving temporary aortic occlusion in trauma patients with non-compressible truncal hemorrhage with increased blood pressure and temporary hemorrhage control in the majority of patients.

INTRODUCTION:
Aortic occlusion (AO) for resuscitation in traumatic shock remains controversial. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) offers an emerging alternative.
METHODS:
The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Aortic Occlusion for Resuscitation in Trauma and Acute Care Surgery working group prospectively looked at trauma patients requiring AO from eight ACS Level 1 centers from November 2013 to February 2015.
RESULTS:
They reviewed 114 AO patients (REBOA, 46; open AO, 68); 80.7% were male, and 62.3% were blunt injured. Aortic occlusion occurred in the emergency department (73.7%) or the operating room (26.3%). Hemodynamic improvement after AO was observed in 62.3% [REBOA, 67.4% versus open OA, 61.8%); 36.0% achieving stability (systolic blood pressure consistently >90 mm Hg, >5 minutes); REBOA, (47.8%) versus open OA, (27.9%); p =0.014]. Deployment was achieved in Zones I (78.6%) and III (19.0%). Overall survival was 21.1% (24 of 114), with no significant difference between REBOA and open AO with regard to mortality [REBOA, 28.2% (13 of 46); open OA, 16.1% (11 of 68); p = 0.120].
CONCLUSION:
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta has emerged as a viable alternative to open AO in centers that have developed this capability.

BACKGROUND:
A systematic review and meta‐analysis was performed to determine the effect of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), compared to resuscitative thoracotomy, on mortality among non‐compressible torso hemorrhage trauma patients.
METHODS:
Relevant articles were identified by a literature search in MEDLINE and EMBASE. We included studies involving trauma patients suffering non‐compressible torso hemorrhage. Studies were eligible if they evaluated REBOA and compared it to resuscitative thoracotomy. Two investigators independently assessed articles for inclusion and exclusion criteria and selected studies for final analysis. Random effect models was used to conduct the meta‐analysis.
RESULTS:
Three studies were included in the systematic review. There was a total of 1276 patients. Initial analysis found that the odds of mortality did not differ between the compared groups (OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.17‐1.03), although lower in REBOA‐treated patients. Sensitivity analysis showed that the risk of mortality was significantly lower among patients who underwent REBOA, compared to resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) (RR 0.81; 95% CI 0.68‐0.97).
CONCLUSION:
This meta‐analysis suggests a positive effect of REBOA on mortality among non‐compressible torso hemorrhage patients.

BACKGROUND:
Aortic occlusion is a potentially valuable tool for early resuscitation in patients nearing extremis or in arrest from severe hemorrhage.
STUDY DESIGN:
The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma and Aortic Occlusion in Resuscitation for Trauma and Acute Care Surgery registry identified trauma patients without penetrating thoracic injury undergoing aortic occlusion at the level of the descending thoracic aorta (resuscitative thoracotomy [RT] or zone 1 resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta [REBOA]) in the emergency department (ED). Survival outcomes relative to the timing of CPR need and admission hemodynamic status were examined.
RESULTS:
Two hundred and eighty-five patients were included: 81.8% were males, with injury due to penetrating mechanisms in 41.4%; median age was 35.0 years (interquartile range 29 years) and median Injury Severity Score was 34.0 (interquartile range 18). Resuscitative thoracotomy was used in 71%, and zone 1 REBOA in 29%. Overall survival beyond the ED was 50% (RT 44%, REBOA 63%; p = 0.004) and survival to discharge was 5% (RT 2.5%, REBOA 9.6%; p = 0.023). Discharge Glasgow Coma Scale score was 15 in 85% of survivors. Patients who did not require any CPR before had a survival beyond the ED of 70% (RT 48%, REBOA 93%; p < 0.001) and survival to discharge of 13% (RT 3.4%, REBOA 22.2%, p = 0.048). If aortic occlusion patients did not require CPR but presented with hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg; 9% [65% RT; 35% REBOA]), they achieved survival beyond the ED in 65% (p = 0.009) and survival to discharge of 15% (RT 0%, REBOA 44%; p = 0.008).
CONCLUSIONS:
Overall, REBOA can confer a survival benefit over RT, particularly in patients not requiring CPR.
Expanding the field of acute care surgery: a systematic review of the use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in cases of morbidly adherent placenta.
Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg. 2017 Sep 19. doi: 10.1007/s00068‐017‐0840‐4.Manzano‐Nunez R1,2, Escobar‐VidarteMF3, Naranjo MP4,5, Rodriguez F5, Ferrada P6, Casallas JD4,3, Ordoñez CA5,7.
PURPOSE:
Prophylactic placement of endovascular balloon occlusion catheters has grown to be part of the surgical plans to control intraoperative hemorrhage in cases of abnormal placentation. A systematic literature review was performed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the use of REBOA during cesarean delivery in pregnant woman with morbidly adherent placenta.
METHODS:
The authors included studies involving pregnant women with diagnosis of abnormal placentation who underwent cesarean delivery with REBOA placed for hemorrhage control. MINORS' criteria were used to evaluate the risk of bias of included studies. A formal meta-analysis was not performed.
RESULTS:
Eight studies were included in cumulative results. These studies included a total of 392 patients. Overall, REBOA was deployed in 336 patients. Six studies reported the use of REBOA as an adjunct for prophylactic hemorrhage control in pregnant woman with diagnosis of morbidly adherent placenta undergoing elective cesarean delivery. In two studies, REBOA was deployed in patients already in established hemorrhagic shock at the moment of cesarean delivery. REBOA was deployed primarily by interventional radiologists; however, one study reported a surgeon as the REBOA provider. The results from our qualitative synthesis indicate that the use of REBOA during cesarean delivery resulted in less blood loss with a low rate complications occurrence.
CONCLUSION:
REBOA was found to be feasible, safe, and effective as a means of prophylactic and remedial hemorrhage control in pregnant women with abnormal placental bleeding undergoing cesarean delivery.
Validation of the Emergency General Surgery Frailty Index in Patients with Burn InjuriesD W Maxwell, DO P Rhee, MDM D Drake, DO J S Hodge, MDW L Ingram, MDR Y Williams, MD
Journal of Burn Care & Research, Volume 39, Issue suppl_1, 9 April 2018, Pages S47, https://doi.org/10.1093/jbcr/iry006.087
Published: 09 April 2018
Introduction
As demonstrated in trauma and critical care literature, a diagnosis of frailty, as opposed to chronologic age, is a more significant predictor of morbidity and mortality. There are a variety of frailty scores, some of which have over 50 criteria requiring lengthy calculations. Recently, a 15‐question validated Emergency General Surgery Frailty Index (EGSFI) has been published. Since there is no burn injury specific frailty score, the authors sought to validate the EGSFI in the burn patient population.
Methods
This was a two part study. First, a retrospective review was conducted on 100 patients, ≥65 years old, admitted to the burn unit between 2013 to 2017. They calculated frailty scores based on EGSFI criteria and collected demographics and survival data. Subsequently, they conducted a prospective validation of 20 patients, ≥65 years. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed.
Results
In the retrospective population, n=34/100 were determined to be frail. There were no significant differences in demographics between frail and non‐frail patients. Thirteen of the 15 EGSFI factors were significantly different between frail and non‐frail patients (Table 1). Patients classified as frail had more statistically significant (p<0.05) complications (61.8% vs 10.6%), non‐home discharges (67.6% vs 13.6%), ICU admissions (52.9% vs 10.6%), longer ICU stays (17 ± 23.0 vs 1 ± 7.0 days), and in hospital mortalities (11.8% vs 1.5%). Frail patients also had statistically significant lower GCS on presentation, increased presence of inhalation injury, and increased need for intubation on arrival.
Conclusions
The abbreviated EGSFI accurately predicted morbidity and mortality in burn patients and aided in both the planning of needed resources and as counseling adjunct for family members.

Introduction
Ketamine is a potent non‐opioid anesthetic that has both analgesic and sedative properties secondary to its NMDA blocking activity. Intravenous ketamine boluses have been used in the burn world for acute pain management during wound care and procedures for several years. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous ketamine infusions as an analgesic and sedative adjunct in mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the burn ICU.
Methods
A retrospective chart analysis was conducted for mechanically ventilated patients in the burn ICU who was administered continuous infusion ketamine between 2011 and 2017. The primary outcome was the reduction in doses of the concurrent continuous infusion analgesic and sedative. Secondary outcomes included evaluating ketamine cardiovascular stability and patient outcomes.
Results
Fifteen patients met inclusion criteria. The study population was receiving high dose fentanyl and sedative infusions prior to the initiation of ketamine but had poor pain and agitation control. The initiation of ketamine resulted in a decrease in analgesic and sedative doses administered to patient. Ketamine therapy was able to be continued until patients were sufficiently weaned off other continuous analgesic and sedative infusions. No cardiovascular adverse effects were noted in any of the study patients. However, two patients did not tolerate ketamine well and developed worsening agitation, which was attributed to psychiatric effects of ketamine.
Conclusions
This study highlights the viability of using continuous infusion ketamine as an analgesic adjunct and opioid sparing option for mechanically ventilated burn ICU patients with suboptimal pain and agitation control using conventional means.

Introduction
It is not known why some burn patients require vasopressor (VP) drugs during the acute fluid resuscitation phase. The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors that predict VP administration during acute burn resuscitation.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of patients with burns ≥ 20% TBSA admitted within 24 hours post burn (PB) to an adult regional ABA‐verified burn center between 11/15/15 and 7/1/17. Patients that received a VP in the 1st48 hours were compared to those who did not.
Results
There were 49 patients that met inclusion criteria. Following exclusion for VP administration, a study population of 37 subjects remained. This population’s characteristics were age 47 ± 16 yrs, 35% female, with 32 %TBSA burn (24.5,49.2) and 20.5 % full thickness burn (3.3,39.8), and 32% with inhalation injury (INH). The total amount of resuscitation fluid administered up to the initiation of VPs was 4.1 ± 2.2 mL/kg/%TBSA burn, and at the start of VPs, 119.6 ± 55.1 % of predicted resuscitation fluid had been infused. The 1st VP was norepinephrine in all cases. Vasopressin was added in two cases and epinephrine was added in 4 cases. There were no differences between the groups in urine output, use of propofol for sedation, or the dose of opioids and benzodiazepines at 24 and 48 hours PB. Only age was a significant predictor of need for VPs [OR 1.17 (95%CI: 1.01–1.36)].
Conclusions
Advanced age appears to be the main predictor of the need to initiate VPs during acute fluid resuscitation after burns. However, this study is limited by a small sample size and other factors may be contributory. VPs may be required in older patients despite acceptable fluid provision, during acute burn resuscitation.

Introduction
Adequate fluid resuscitation in the burn patient is an essential part of care. Titrating the exact amount of fluid can be tedious and detrimental if not performed correctly. Escalation to a colloid (5% albumin) resuscitation within the initial 24 hours has become standard of care for burn patients who are deemed difficult to resuscitate. In recent fluid resuscitation reviews, it was noted that a significant amount of hyperchloremic acidosis developed in large volume resuscitation (>20%TBSA) burn patients.
Methods
A chart review was completed on adult and pediatric burn patients that underwent fluid resuscitation (n=26). Sixteen patients were deemed “difficult to resuscitate” and received 5% albumin. Of those patients, 25% (n=4) developed hyperchloremic acidosis. After multidisciplinary review, it was determined that 5% albumin comes from pharmacy premixed in 0.9% normal saline (NS) (145mEq/L chloride) and may have contributed to this condition. Albumin can safely be mixed in 0.45% NS (116 mEq/L chloride). Commonalities in patients that developed hyperchloremia were identified. The following criteria were developed for administration of 5% albumin in 0.45% NS: >60% TBSA, pre‐existing renal dysfunction, and those who received a large volume 0.9% NS resuscitation prior to admission. For those patients that met criteria, an order would be placed in the electronic medical record for pharmacy to prepare and deliver 5% albumin mixed in 0.45% NS.
Results
After implementation of this albumin protocol, 3 patients met criteria. These patients were successfully resuscitated with 5%albumin in 0.45% NS and did not develop hyperchloremic acidosis.
Conclusions
Large volume resuscitation of burn patients can successfully be accomplished with a 5% albumin solution in 0.45% NS without the undesirable consequence of hyperchloremic acidosis. However, this study is too small to draw any significant conclusions.
Incorporation of High Dose Vitamin C into a Nurse‐Driven Resuscitation Protocol Results in Deviation from Standard Fluid Titration

Introduction
In 2012, a nurse driven protocol was developed and implemented which incorporated the use High Dose Vitamin C (HDVitC) for patients with greater than 25% TBSA burned, without exclusion criteria for HDVitC. The authors hypothesized that the consistent utilization of this protocol would reduce total resuscitation volume, and improve outcomes of larger burn patients that receive fluid resuscitation.
Methods
All burns with >15% TBSA met criteria for the new nurse driven protocol in the five‐year period following the initiation. From 2012–2017, 61 patients admitted to the burn unit met criteria. Fifty‐two patients completed the resuscitation protocol with documentation appropriate for review.
Results
Demographics for the pre‐protocol and protocol groups were similar, including average age, TBSA and percentage of 3rd degree burn (Table). While not statistically significant there was a decrease in the resuscitation volume for the protocol group (ml/%TBSA and ml/kg). Average length of stay decreased by 16 days in protocol group. Only 41% of resuscitations used HDVitC pre‐protocol, which increased to 67% with initiation of guidelines to use for burns >25% that do not have exclusion criteria in the protocol group (Table). However, with the increased use of HDVitC there was increased frequency of deviation from fluid rate titration or required additional colloid. Deviation occurred in 67% of protocol patients and 75% of these received HDVitC.
Conclusions
A nurse driven protocol which incorporates HDVitC resulted in appropriate consistent use during burn resuscitation. Decrease total resuscitation volumes in the protocol group correlated with lower rates of abdominal compartment syndrome. There was a deviation from the standard fluid titration or need for addition colloid in the majority of patients treated with HDVitC.

GovernanceDuring the flood - Internal Disaster
Within 24 hrs of the flood, pipes broke in the basement Declared “Internal Disaster” on Friday Basement has Pharmacy, Cafeteria, Nutrition service No food for patients/staff total 600 in house Urgent relocation of the pharmacy from basemen to 4th floor
conference room, displacing the temporary beds
Governance:Communication
Be prepared for loss of phone services etc, designate a place to meet every 2 hrs.
What was working: – No loss of electricity, no loss of water supply, no loss of phone services
E mails, mass texts, phone calls Town hall meetings for the IM residents twice a day
Preparation: Personnel“Ride out” and “Recovery” teams
Hospitals sent out memo to trainees and staff of what to bring and not
Needs assessment: Wards, IMU, ICUs Reach out to specialties/subspecialties – some in house
some available from home “Ride out” team – Put in place during the storm
bring in 2 sets of crews to work 12 hrs. each for the entire duration of disaster
“Recovery Team” – Relieves the team after the storm passes
*Can leave only when reliever shakes hand
Page 234
Personnel : Issues During the Hurricane
Prioritize and revise transfer list everyday for evacuation Some nurses worked from Friday to Tuesday Shower water was “salty” Food shortage – basement flooded Food for family members - a problem Pharmacy emergency evacuation from basement “Curfew” several days – to avoid robberies All family members sent to Reliant stadium/GRB evacuees
camp
Personnel: Keep up the MoraleRest and Relaxation
Off teams : Must sleep and not make this a class “picnic” Games Videos Movies Food Jeopardy style quizzes Check if people reached home or able to reach work Walk and exercise on the parking lot roof when rain eased up
Murphy’s Law – ”Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”
5 SICU and 1 medical floor patient was able to be transferred out. 3 came back could not reach destination.
Inpatients and ICU patients crashed requiring emergent interventions

PersonnelSome rules for Family: in disasters extended over a long period
Self and family welfare first Do not challenge the nature! This is August; many new trainees on board Check on – water supply, power supply even at work Many of our faculty/fellows got flooded, some were mandatorily
evacuated on third day due to controlled release of two water reservoirs At least half lost power, some lost water supply – filled bath tubs pool water Many friends lost their cars – garages flooded, stuck on roads, hydroplaning,
drive carefully Do not hesitate to ask for help
Personnel: Some rules for work ……
It’s a marathon NOT a Sprint! Its all about endurance not a point performance Sleep is important - A 16 hr. continuous working = legally
drunk levels of alcohol Keep head straight, body healthy Sleep deprivation – Errors of omission and commission Work needs to be coordinated, not in silos Evacuating patients may be more dangerous than caring in
your place
Page 236
Mass Casualty Evacuation Ambulance
Debriefing
Meet after the situation settled down to evaluate what worked, what didn’t
Unprecedented feeling of camaraderie, team spirit Poor planning = Fatigued, demoralized work force Forum to share their experiences , thank and appreciate each other Free psychiatric counseling Arrange coverage for those affected by the storm; takes weeks to
clean up, file insurance claims, etc

When people around you get affected ….
Biked 8 miles to get to work At least 15 faculty in the section lost cars due to garage flooding Our research coordinator, secretary, fellows, Chair of Medicine Escape from drowned cars – (Cafeteria selling hammers) day

The Houston Community in Trouble !
Our Experience During Hurricane Katrina: Refugee Evacuees from New Orleans - 2005
Main difference – The Houston Community was not affected
They were hosts unaffected by the flood we had intact infrastructure – water, electricity, communication and healthcare
Large space available close to the largest medical center complex
25,000 in Astrodome/Reliant stadium, 10,000 in GRB convention center
Tulane med school shifted to Baylor for 9 months Took in a fellow for training for months

Major Health Risks When Working on Water-Damaged Homes? – Baylor released a brochure
Mold Lead Dust (homes before 1978)Cuts and PuncturesCarbon Monoxide Electric Shocks Snakes /Insects/Animals/Gators InfectionsPTSD
Page 243
Electric Shocks Electric shocks can kill. Danger of electrical shock from any electrical device
that has been flooded. Rubber boots and gloves do not always protect from
electric shock. Turn off the electricity at the breaker before starting work
if you do not know the condition of the wiring behind walls
Health effects associated with exposure to mold?
People most often are exposed to mold by breathing in mold spores that float in the air.
These mold spores are too small to be seen with the naked eye. When people with mold allergies breathe air that has high mold levels, they can have allergy symptoms such as stuffy nose, sinus problems and shortness of breath.
Even worse, they may have a life-threatening asthma attack.
Symptoms of mold exposure?
Breathing difficulties Shortness of breath Wheezing Sore throat Flu-like aches and pains Fatigue
Page 244
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause sudden illness and death. Burning fuels, such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood or charcoal, produce CO. No fuel burning equipment, including portable generators, should be used inside flood damaged homes.
Cuts and Punctures
Broken glass, boards, exposed nails and other hazards are common in flood and storm damaged homes. Floodwaters may contain germs or viruses that can enter the skin through cuts and scrapes. Wear protective equipment to prevent serious injuries. Take
special care to protect hands and feet. Check that you and your workers have current tetanus shots
(within the last 10 years) before working in flooded areas. If a cut or puncture occurs, wash the cut immediately and treat
with an antiseptic ointment such as Betadine or Povidine Iodine Cream.
