- Hypoxia among patients on the liver-transplant waiting list(2014) NACIF, Lucas Souto; ANDRAUS, Wellington; SARTORI, Kathryn; BENITES, Carlos Marlon; SANTOS, Vinicius Rocha; ROCHA-FILHO, Joel Avancini; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz CarneiroBackground: Hepatopulmonary syndrome is formed by a triad of liver disease, intrapulmonary vascular dilatation and changes in blood gases. This condition is present in 4-32% of patients with cirrhosis. Aim : To analyze the blood gas changes data of patients in liver-transplant waiting list. Method: Clinical data of 279 patients in liver transplantation waiting list in May 2013 were studied. Overall patient was analyzed by the demographic aspects, laboratorial and image findings on exams that determine lung disease (hypoxemia) in these cirrhotic patients. The mean values and standard deviations were used to examine normally distributed variables. Results: There was a high prevalence of male patients (68%); the mean age was 51(±5,89) years, and the predominant reason for listing was hepatitis C cirrhosis. The MELD score mean was 16±5,89, without prioritization or special situation. The most common blood type was O in 129 cases (46%) and the mean of body max index was 25,94±4,58. Regarding arterial blood gas tests was observed 214 patients with PaO2 <90 mmHg, 80 with PaO2 <80 mmHg and 39 with PaO2 <50 mmHg. In relation to O2 saturation, 50 patients had <90%, 33 <80% and 10 <50%. Conclusion: Was observed a high rate of hypoxemia in patients on waiting list liver transplant. Due to the high severity and morbidity, is suggested better monitoring and therapeutic support to hypoxemic patients on liver transplant waiting list.
article 1 Citação(ões) na Scopus Experimental Model of Non-Controlled Hemorrhagic Shock in Pigs(2011) CAVALCANTE, Fernanda Paula; NANI, Ricardo Souza; ROCHA FILHO, Joel Avancini; AULER JUNIOR, Jose Otavio Costa; CARMONA, Maria Jose Carvalho; MACHADO, Marcel Cerqueira CesarCavalcante FP, Nani RS, Rocha Filho JA, Auler Junior JOC, Carmona MJC, MachadoMCC - Experimental Model of Non-Controlled Hemorrhagic Shock in Pigs. Background and objectives: A better understanding of pathophysiologic changes associated to trauma and hemorrhagic shock can help the development of therapies capable of reducing trauma-related mortality. The objective of this study was to describe a model of non-controlled hemorrhagic shock in pigs. Methods: Animals received ketamine and midazolam as pre-anesthetic medications. Anesthesia was induced with propofol, and tracheal intubation was performed with the animals on spontaneous ventilation. After intubation neuromuscular blockade was performed. Animals were maintained in controlled mechanical ventilation and normocapnia. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and fentanyl as needed. Saline was infused during the entire preparation period. Monitoring: Cardioscope, pulse oximeter, invasive blood pressure, volumetric catheter in the pulmonary artery, and urine output by cystostomy were used. Experimental model: after the initial recording of hemodynamic, metabolic, and coagulation variables, right subcostal incision and left lobe liver biopsy were performed. Anesthetic infusion was reduced while the infusion of saline was interrupted. An incision 12 cm long 2 cm deep was performed in the right liver lobe followed by digital divulsion of the wound. During the hemorrhagic phase, an aspiration probe was placed close to the wound and the volume of aspirated blood was recorded. When mean arterial pressure reached 40 mmHg and bleeding was above 700 mL the intervention phase was initiated according to the type of study. Conclusion: The development of experimental models to reduce high mortality and costs related to trauma is important.- Nutritional support for fulminant hepatitis(2015) FIGUEIRA, Estela Regina Ramos; ROCHA FILHO, Joel Avancini; NACIF, Lucas Souto; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Carneiro; WAITZBERG, Dan LinetzkyIntroduction: fulminant hepatitis (FH) is associated with exacerbated hypercatabolism, hypoglycemia and hyperammonemia that are accompanied by the release of proinflammatory cytokines and catabolic hormones into the systemic circulation worsening patient's clinical condition. Nutritional support is a crucial element for the recovery of these patients. Objectives: the aim of this review is to update Nutritional Support for Fulminant Hepatitis. Methods: the review was performed using electronic search on Medline-PubMed using Mesh-terms. Results and discussion: there are not many data available on nutritional support to fulminant hepatitis or acute liver failure. Strategies for initial nutritional intervention are focused on the control of the previously described FH metabolic derangements, and should be individualized according to the severity of patient's clinical condition. Energy and protein can be provided in amounts of 25-40 kcal/kg/day and 0.8-1.2 g/kg/day, respectively. Enteral nutrition therapy is indicated for patients with advancing encephalopathy or for those who cannot be properly fed orally. Euglycemia must be achieved and protein intake can be based on BCAA formulae. Lipids can be administered as energy supplementation with caution. Adequate nutrition therapy can potentially reduce morbidity and mortality of FH patients.
- Pentoxifylline enhances the protective effects of hypertonic saline solution on liver ischemia reperfusion injury through inhibition of oxidative stress(2014) ROCHA-SANTOS, Vinicius; FIGUEIRA, Estela R. R.; ROCHA-FILHO, Joel A.; COELHO, Ana M. M.; PINHEIRO, Rafael Soraes; BACCHELLA, Telesforo; MACHADO, Marcel C. C.; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz A. C.BACKGROUND: Liver ischemia reperfiision (IR) injury triggers a systemic inflammatory response and is the main cause of organ dysfunction and adverse postoperative outcomes after liver surgery. Pentoxifylline (PTX) and h-ypertonic saline solution (HTS) have been identified to have beneficial effects against IR injury This study aimed to investigate if the addition of PTX to HTS is superior to HTS alone for the prevention of liver IR injury. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were allocated into three groups. Control rats underwent 60 minutes. of partial liver ischemia, HTS rats were treated with 0.4 mL/kg of intravenous 7.5% NaC1 15 minutes before reperfusion, and HPTX group were treated with 7.5% NaC1 plus 25 mg/kg of PTX 15 minutes before reperfusion. Samples were collected after reperfusion for determination of ALT, AST, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10, mitochondrial respiration, lipid peroxidation, pulmonary permeability and myeloperoxidase. RESULTS: HPTX significantly decreased TNF-alpha 30 minutes after reperfusion. HPTX and HTS significantly decreased ALT, AST, IL-6, mitochondrial dysfunction and pulmonary myeloperoxidase 4 hours after reperfusion. Compared with HTS only, HPTX significantly decreased hepatic oxidative stress 4 hours after reperfusion and pulmonary permeability 4 and 12 hours after reperfusion. CONCLUSION: This study showed that PTX added the beneficial effects of HTS on liver IR injury through decreases of hepatic oxidative stress and pulmonary permeability.

R.; FILHO, Joel A. Rocha; REYNTJENS, Koen; BREITENSTEIN, Stefan; BECK-SCHIMMER, BeatriceBackground data: In the age of organ scarcity and the increased use of older and steatotic organ grafts, protective strategies during transplantation are gaining importance. Volatile anesthetics such as sevoflurane attenuate ischemia-reperfusion injury in liver resection and lead to improved clinical outcome. Whether volatile anesthetics change clinical outcome in liver transplantation is unknown. Methods: Cadaveric liver recipients were randomized from 03/2009 to 08/2012 at three University Centers (Zurich, Sao Paulo, Ghent). Standard liver transplant patients were randomly assigned to propofol anesthesia (control group) or conditioning with sevoflurane (sevoflurane group). Postoperative peak of the aspartate transaminase (AST) was defined as primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints were in-hospital complications, hospital- and ICU stay. Results: Ninety-eight patients, who underwent liver transplantation, were randomized to propofol (n=48) or sevoflurane (n=50). Peak AST after transplantation was 925 U/l (512-3274) in the propofol group (p=0.73) and 1097 U/l (interquartile range 540-2633) in the sevofluorane one. While the overall complication rate was not different, there was a trend towards less severe complications in the sevoflurane group: median complication score was grade IIIa (IQR II-IVb) for the propofol and grade II (IQR 0-IIIb) for the sevoflurane group (Odds ratio 0.51, 0.24 to 1.09, p=0.08). Conclusions: This first multicenter trial with different anesthesia regimens in liver transplantation showed comparable surrogate markers postoperatively, but a trend towards less severe complications in the sevoflurane group. Future trials should be adequately powered to assess complications and identify subgroups, which might benefit from anesthetic conditioning.
