resuscitation,asreflectedintheurineoutput.
Youraimisatleast0.5to1mlurine/kg(patient’sweight)perhour.Sofromthe‘average’70kg
or155lbpatient(oh,howrareinourmodernpractice…),youwouldwantbetween30-50ccof
urineperhour.Adequateurineoutputisthesinglebestsignofadequatetissueperfusion
associatedwithsuccessfulfluidresuscitation.
Invasivemonitoring
The central venous catheter and the Swan-Ganz pulmonary arterial catheteraretoolswhichpermit‘specialstudies’tobecarriedoutrapidly andrepeatedly.The downsideofsuchdevicesis thattheyareinvasive, expensive, often inaccurate, and associated with potentially life­threatening complications. Invasive hemodynamic monitoring could provideendpoint measurements that,inconjunction with urinary output, indicatetheadequacyoffluidresuscitation.
Thecentralvenouscatheter
The central venous catheter measures central venous pressure (CVP)which is a productofvenous return (i.e.bloodvolume) and right ventricularfunction.LowCVPalwaysmeanshypovolemia,butahigh
CVPcansignify either over-expansion of bloodvolume orcardiac failure.SoaimforanadequateurinaryoutputwithaCVPinthenormal
range,upto12cmH2O.WhentheCVPrisesabovethenormalrangeand the urinary output is still not adequate then either cardiac or renal
functionis impairedor themeasurement isan error.Falseelevationsin CVP are caused by abnormally high intra-thoracic or intra-abdominal pressure, which is directly transmitted to the great thoracic veins. The
messageisclear—aslongastheurineoutputisnotadequateand theCVPislow—pourinthefluids.Butremember:yourpatient may
be far behind on fluid in the presence of a high or normal CVP. And
anotherhint:theabsoluteCVPreadingmeanslessthanitstrend;it iswhen a low ornormalCVPsuddenlyjumpsupthatyou have to slowthefluids.
Oryou can give abolus of fluid (300mlfor example) rapidly andmeasure CVP.If it doesnot increase,thepatientappearstobehypovolemic.Ari
The important message here is that it is the response of the CVP measurement to a fluid challenge that best indicates the patient’s fluid status.
TheSwan-Ganzpulmonaryarteryflotationcatheter
TheSwan-Ganzmeasurespulmonarycapillarywedgepressure,which reflects the volume status and left cardiac function. Like the CVP catheter,the‘Swan’isusedinconjunctionwithurinaryoutput.Weaimfor a normal ‘wedge’ pressure (around 14mmHg) in conjunction with an adequate urinary output. As with the CVP — a low wedge pressure alwaysmeanshypovolemia; a high wedge pressure on the other hand, mayindicateeithervolumeoverload,ordysfunctionoftheleftheart.With the Swan-Ganz insitu, you can calculate and derive information about cardiacfunction(cardiacoutputandcardiacindex),adrenergicresponse to injury or illness (peripheral vascular resistance) or tissue perfusion (oxygenconsumption andoxygen delivery).Anormalcardiac indexisa good confirmatory endpoint for resuscitation and, if pre-existing renal failure is present, is a good independent endpoint. When the wedge pressureisnormal orhighandtheurinary outputandcardiacindexare stilllowthenpharmacologicalintervention with inotropic agents may be indicated.
Weknowthatintensivistsandjuniordoctorsliketoinsertcentrallines and especially Swan-Ganz catheters. Being invasive and able to measure sophisticated data is fun and clinically attractive.But invasive monitoringmaybeapanaceaoraPandora’sbox.Wedgepressuresare notoriously inaccurate in emergency surgical patients — proneto false highreadingssimilartotheCVP.Swan-Ganzcathetersareexpensive,
predisposed to complications and — above all — they rarely add anything to the management of your patients. Consider this: when
was the last time that your anesthetist really effectively used, intra­operatively, the Swan-Ganz you placed pre-operatively? We cannot remembersuchacase.
Anon-invasiveequivalentoftheSwan-Ganzcatheteriscurrentlyavailabletomeasurecardiac output—PICCO(peripherallyinsertedcontinuouscardiacoutputmonitoring).Danny
Laboratory
Theinformationprovidedbylaboratorystudiesiseasytointerpret.Aim for resolution of hemoconcentration, normalization of electrolyte, BUN andcreatininelevels,andresolutionofmetabolicacidosis.Asmentioned previously, look at the baseexcess (BE) —if persistentlynegative, the oxygendeficitatthetissuelevelhasnotresolved.
Bloodandbloodproducts
Blood products, such as whole blood, packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate or platelet concentrate, are indicated selectively to restore oxygen-carrying capacity in actively bleeding or chronically anemic patients, and to correct clotting abnormalities if present.Do notforget,however, the bloodbankbloodisadouble-
edged sword. Beyond the usual and well-known complications of transfusion, blood is immunosuppressive and may be associated with an increased probability of postoperative infections. In addition, the more blood you give the higher the risk of postoperative organ system dysfunction, including the risk of transfusion-relatedacutelunginjury(TRALI)andmortality.
Do not forget that rehydration with crystalloids may unmask chronic anemiaasthehematocritfallswithvolumeexpansion.
Suggestedstepsinvolumeoptimization
Institute intravenous fluid therapy and if signs of intestinal dysfunction such as nausea,vomiting or abdominal distensionare present then designate nil per mouth (NPO) and, if necessary, nasogastric suction. Intravenous crystalloid may be started at a basicrate of 100to 200ml perhourwith theadditionof bolusesof
250to500mlgivenoverintervals of 15 to 30 minutes. Weadvise
you,however,tositbyyourpatient…
Institute procedures for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment including serial physical exam, Foley catheter placement and, in moreseverecases,centralvenouscatheterplacement.
If the main underlying problem is hemorrhage, institute transfusion of packed red blood cells — typed and cross-matched if there is time, type-specific only if there is not. (Add blood components as necessary.)
Titrate the rate of fluid administration in light of the results of monitoring.Increaseordecreasethebasicrateoffluidflowandgive additionalbolusinfusionsasnecessary.
After the restoration of intravascular fluid volume, address any residual signs of physiologic dysfunction with inotropic agents to improvecardiacoutputand,possibly,anafterload-reducingagentto improve myocardial oxygen supply and ease the workload of the heart.
Wheelthepatientdirectlytotheoperatingroomyourself.Donotwait fortheporter—aren’ttheyusuallylate?
Ifthebasicproblemiscontinuinghemorrhagethenforgetthis listandgodirectlytotheoperatingroom.Thebestresuscitation
in actively bleeding patients is surgical control of the source. In addition, pre-operative over-resuscitation and transfusion
increasethebloodloss.
Whenisenoughenough?
The above steps in optimization are done with the aim of correcting physiologicderangementasmuchaspossiblebutwithoutunnecessarily delaying operative intervention. There is no magic formula for
achievingthisbalance.Thediseaseprocessitselfwilldeterminethe duration of pre-operative optimization. At one end of the spectrum,
uncontrolled hemorrhage will require immediate operative intervention afteronlypartialfluidresuscitationornoneatall.Attheotherendofthe spectrum, intestinal obstruction that has been developing over several dayswill requirea morecomplete resuscitationprior tooperation.Asin life in general, most cases will fall somewhere in between — which
meansaround3hours.Stubbornattemptsto‘improve’a‘non-responder’ beyond6 hours are usually counter-productive.That you, or your boss, do not feel like leaving your warm beds at 3 a.m. is not an excuse to “continueaggressiveresuscitation”untilsunrise.
Butstop!Perhapsyourpatientdoesnotneedanoperation?One ofthecleverestaphorismsinsurgerywascoinedbythelateFrancis D.Moore:“Neveroperateonapatientwhoisgettingrapidlybetter
orrapidlyworse.”
Sofinallytorecap…
The key to pre-operative optimization in emergency surgery is oxygenation of the blood and intravenous fluid resuscitation with crystalloidsolutions.Theonlygoalofresuscitationistherestorationof
adequate tissue perfusion to supply oxygen to the suffocating mitochondria. Accomplish it aggressively to reduce intra-operative and postoperativecomplications.
These old folks maintain a fragile system quite well… until it gets disturbed—likeahouseofcards.
“Everyoperationisanexperimentinphysiology.”
TidKommer
From the Editors: a few more words on the dangers of over­resuscitation
Weagree thatrestoringbloodvolumeis acrucialstepbeforeany emergencyoperationbutat thesametimewehavetowarnyou—aswe’lldoagainandagain—nottodrownyour
patients in too much fluid. Pre-operative, intra-operative, or postoperative fluid
administration can cut both ways. Equipped with huge-bore i.v. lines and fancy monitoring
devices, enthusiastic surgeons and anesthetists commonly flood their patients with too much
water and salt. We tend to ignore the ‘obligatory’ postoperative weight gain caused by over
aggressiveresuscitationwithashrug:“Well,”wesay,“thepatientisperfusingwellandhisurine
outputisexcellent—he’lldiuresetheexcessfluidsoncehe’swell.”Butwearewrong!
Accumulatingevidenceshowsthatthedeleteriouseffectofexcessfluidisnotlimitedtopatients
whoareactivelybleeding(byincreasingtherateofhemorrhageandtheriskofrebleeding)but can,in fact, be demonstratedin all ofour patients. Swollen,edematouscellsare
bad news in each and every system. Edema contributes to
respiratory failure and cardiac dysfunction. It prevents tissue healing — adversely affecting intestinal anastomoses and abdominalclosure.It swells abdominal contents producing intra­abdominalhypertension.
Sodonot gooverboard!Giveonlyasmuchfluid asisnecessary and,aboveall,monitorwhattheanesthetistisdoingonhissideof thescreen. The old-fashioned formulas used to calculate how much fluid to administer
duringtheoperationareexaggeratedandoutdated.Onehastoreplacebloodlossandmaintain
urineoutputat0.5ml/kgperhour,whichpracticallymeansbetween30-50ccperhour—nothing more. The more unnecessary fluid given before and during the
operation—themoreproblemsyou’llhavewiththepatientinthe ICUandonthefloor(ontheward,fornon-USsurgeons!).
Resuscitationinthetraumatizedorbleedingpatient
WehavetoforgetwhattheATLScourses(andbook)previouslytaughtus—tofloodthepatient
withcrystalloids.Todayweknowthatoverlyaggressivefluidresuscitation‘washes’outtheclot, disturbs hemostasis, increases bleeding and decreases survival. Hence, the current
paradigm is ‘hypotensive resuscitation’ — keep the blood pressure just high enough to preserve vital organ perfusion. In
practicalterms—donotaimfor‘normal’bloodpressurebutkeepsystolicataround90mmHg.
In actively bleeding patients start slowly with Ringer’s lactate (do not ‘pump’ it in) and then
switch to blood. Recent studies suggest that whole fresh blood is better than component therapy.Butifyou haveto transfusemorethan twounitsof packed
red blood cells, growing evidence suggests that mortality and morbidity rates are improved by adding one unit of fresh frozen plasma,andoneunitofplateletsforeachunitofbloodgiven.
Thisisequallytruefortheinjuredpatient,theonebleedingfrom his ulcer and the one with a
rupturedaorticaneurysm!

Pre-operativeantibiotics
MosheSchein
Mostmendieoftheirremedies,notoftheirdiseases.
Molière
CurmudgeonistheguywhogetsupattheM&Mmeeting, after you describe your brilliant save with an ER thoracotomyforthoracoabdominalGSWandaskswhyyou didnotgiveprophylacticantibiotics.
AlbertI.Alexander
Itiscommonpracticetoadministerbroad-spectrumantibioticsbeforea laparotomy for an acute surgical condition or trauma. In this situation, antibioticsareeithertherapeuticorprophylactic.
Therapeutic antibiotics: given for an already established, tissue-invasive,
infection(e.g.perforatedappendicitis).
Prophylactic antibiotics: administered in the absence of infection, with the
objective of reducing the anticipated incidence of infections due to existing (e.g. penetrating
injury of the colon) or potential (e.g. gastrotomy to suture a bleeding ulcer) contamination
duringtheoperativeprocedure.
It is very important to distinguish between contamination and
infection (  Chapter 13), as only the latter requires postoperative
antibiotic administration, a topic to be discussed in the postoperative section( Chapter44).
Therapeuticantibioticsassistthesurgeonandthenaturalperitoneal defensestoeradicateanestablishedinfection.
Prophylactic antibiotics prevent postoperative infections of the laparotomy wound; they do notprevent pulmonaryor urinaryinfections nor the occurrence of intra-abdominal abscesses, and should not be administeredinanattempttodoanyofthesethings.
The overprescription of antibiotics is a modern curse for which our patientspaythepriceintermsofmorbidityandmortalityfromantibiotic­associatedcolitisandtheemergenceofresistantstrains.Allprescriptions should be provided with a clear purpose in mind and shouldbe for as short a duration as possible. Finally, even dummies know that
antibioticsareonly an adjunct to the proper surgical management ofcontaminationandinfection( Chapter13).
Whenshouldyoustartantibiotics?
Therearetwoschoolsofthoughthere.Onesaysthatifintra-abdominal contamination or infection is evident or strongly suspected pre­operatively,administerantibioticsimmediately—“thesoonerthebetter”. Incases wherethere isdelay inproceedingwiththelaparotomy, givea second dose of pre-incisional antibiotics in the operating room. Pre-
incisional administration is best in cases where contamination is expectedtooccurintra-operatively.Somesurgeonsbelievedifferently
and prefer to await the operative findings before giving antibiotics. Should, for example, the acute appendicitis prove to be ‘simply phlegmonous’( Chapter23),ortheblunttraumanotbreachthelumen of a hollow viscus (  Chapter 32), they would avoid antibiotics altogether. Alternatively, if contamination or infection were encountered, they would start antibiotic therapy afew minutes afterabdominal entry, apparently with no disadvantage. This will alsoallow propercultures to betaken.Supportforthissecondphilosophycomesfromthesuggestion
thatantibioticsliberateendotoxinfromthekilledbacteria;thisleadssome surgeons to believe that evacuation of pus (containing the source of endotoxin) should be a prerequisite for commencing antimicrobial therapy.
We, among many others, believe however, that antibiotics should permeate the tissues at the time of the abdominal incision, because immediatevasoconstriction at the incision site would preventantibiotics — if given later — from reaching the operative wound. Thus, our
positionistoadministeradoseofantibioticspriortoallemergency abdominaloperations.Wheninfectionorcontaminationisencountered,
or when contamination is expected to occur, the prophylactic or therapeuticvalueofantibioticsisobvious.Inviewofthebeneficialeffects of prophylactic antibiotics in certain elective, clean procedures, we assume that the same may be true in the acutely ill patient who is subjected to laparotomy, even in the absence of contamination or infection. The clinical significance of any antibiotic-generated endotoxemiaispresentlyunknown.
Not uncommonly, we observe surgeons who, in the peri-operative chaos, forget to administer antibiotics. To compensate for their failure, they order antibioticsafter the operation. This is utterly futile. Are dirty hands washed before or after the meal? The fate of the operative
wound is sealed by peri-operative events, including timely administration of antibiotics. Almost nothing done after the operationcanchangetheoutcomeofthewound( Chapter49).
Whichantibioticstouse?
