{ In cases of acute mesenteric ischemia, a CT scan may demonstrate arte-
rial or venous occlusion, thickened bowel loops, or free fluid. Pneumatosis intestinale, portal venous air, and free air are late find­ings.
{ A CT scan is highly sensitive for cases of mesenteric ischemia secondary
to embolus, thrombosis of the arterial inflow or thrombosis of the venous outflow.
{ In most cases, angiography is limited to the minority of cases in which:
findings from less invasive means of imaging are equivocal.
Ö This line of therapy has been selected over operation (e.g., poor
operative risk). Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia is highly likely. In this case, a formal angiogram followed by catheter-based intervention is the most efficient means of diagnosis and treatment. The hallmark on angiogram of NOMI is diffuse mesenteric vasospasm with the absence of a complete occlusion.
{ In those patients with crampy abdominal pain, unexplained acidosis, or
bloody stool after an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, the diagnostic test of choice is bedside flexible sigmoidoscopy to evaluate the mucosa for signs of ischemia.
Findings on endoscopy may include: mild colitis with hemorrhagic
mucosa, a moderate colitis with patchy ischemia limited to the mucosa, or a continuous area of full thickness ischemia.
{ Diagnostic laparoscopy may be considered in the relatively rare instance
in which the diagnosis of AMI is still in question despite imaging with either CTA or angiography. It is important to remember that the bowel serosal layer (the only layer of the bowel that is visible via laparoscopy) is the least susceptible to ischemia. Therefore, normal appearing bowel serosa does not rule out AMI.
Treatment
{ Thrombotic vs. embolic
Heparinization.In the OR: resect dead bowel, restore blood flow to bowel.
Ö bypass for thrombosis. Ö embolectomy with Fogarty catheters for embolic event.
May anastomose or leave blind ends.
Gastrointestinal Ischemia 319
A second look procedure should generally be performed in 24–48
hours, although the decision is ultimately left to the discretion of the operating surgeon.
In certain cases where interventional resources and capabilities are
available, therapies including endovascular thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, angioplasty and stenting may be considered.
{ Mesenteric venous occlusion
Heparinization.
Ö bolus with 5000 U of heparin then begin a continuous infusion
with a goal activated partial-thromboplastin time more than twice the normal level.
IVF for fluid shifts.NGT and bowel rest.Surgical exploration if clinically warranted.In cases where the clinical picture continues to decline despite full
anticoagulation, there is a role for endovascular clot lysis and mechan­ical aspiration if interventional radiology is available.
{ Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia
The treatment mainstay is intra-arterial instillation of papaverine
performed in the interventional radiology suite.
Ö bolus of 60 mg directly into the SMA, then infuse 30–60 mg/hr
until resolution of symptoms.
After vasodilatory therapy, it is necessary to perform a follow-up
angiogram to document resolution.
Adjuncts to intra-arterial therapies include maximizing oxygen delivery
to tissues, improving cardiac output, and minimizing vasoconstrictors.
Colonic ischemia after repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm
{ Once this diagnosis of colonic ischemia after an abdominal aneurysm
repair is considered, a bedside flexible sigmoidoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis. Findings of mucosal edema, hemorrhage, ulceration, or necrosis would support the diagnosis.
{ For those patients with mild or moderate findings (hemorrhagic mucosa,
patchy mucosal ischemia), it is appropriate to hydrate and clinically observe in the absence of sepsis or peritonitis, following up with a repeat sigmoidoscopy at 12-hour intervals. Caution should be taken with these
320 J. A. Salotto
patients, as delay in resection of a truly ischemic segment may result in full thickness necrosis and perforation. Any attempt to manage these patients conservatively should be aborted if the clinical picture worsens.
{ For those patients with severe findings on sigmoidoscopy, the treatment is
returning to the operating room for a colectomy, resecting the necrotic portions of the bowel and creating a temporary end colostomy.
Outcomes
{ Morbidity and mortality of acute mesenteric ischemia remain high despite
advancing surgical and endovascular techniques.
{ After AMI, survival often depends on the age of a patient, comorbidities,
timing of intervention, and the degree and extent of bowel ischemia.
{ Postoperative complications include sepsis, ongoing ischemia requiring
repeat resections, wound infection, and short-gut syndrome in those requiring extensive small bowel resections.
{ Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia carries a mortality near 50% due to
underlying cardiac disease.
{ The mortality rate of mesenteric venous thrombosis was quoted by Kumar
et al. to range from 20–50%. Recurrences are most common 30 days after presentation. These patients require at least six months to a year of systemic anticoagulation.
{ In a large observational study looking at over 87,000 patients with abdom-
inal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repairs, the mortality of colonic ischemia post-AAA repair was noted to be around 37%. Those patients undergoing ruptured, open, or endovascular AAA repair without colonic ischemia were found to have an overall mortality of 6.7%.

Review of Current Literature with References
In 2002, a retrospective study out of the Mayo Clinic described their ten-year
experience with the clinical presentation of 58 patients with acute mesenteric ischemia. 95% presented with abdominal pain, 44% with nausea, 35% with diarrhea and vomiting, 16% had blood per rectum. The mean white blood cell count was elevated at 20.3 x 10 Base deficit was elevated in 52% and lactate was elevated in 91%, with a mean value of 4.7 mmol/L. In this patient population they noted a 32% 30-day mortality rate (Park WM, Gloviczki P, Cherry Jr KJ et al. Contemporary management of acute mesenteric ischemia: factors associated with survival. J Vasc Surg 2002; 35: 445–452).
An observational study by Perry et al. looked at the records of over 89,000
patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair from the 2003–2004, utilizing the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. They found the overall incidence of colonic ischemia to be 2.2%. The incidence after ruptured AAA repair was 8.9%, after open repair incidence was 1.9%, and after endovascu­lar repair incidence was 0.5%. They reported mortality rates increased from
9
/mL and was abnormal in 98% of the patients.

two- to four-fold, quoting mortality from colonic ischemia post-AAA around 37% (Perry RJ, Martin MJ, Eckert MJ, Sohn Vr, Steele SR. Colonic ischemia complicating open versus endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. J Vasc Surg 2008; 48: 272–277).
A systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2010 evaluated the utility
of multi-detector computerized tomography in the evaluation of acute mesen­teric ischemia. They included three prospective and three retrospective studies for a total of 619 cases. They found an overall pooled sensitivity of
93.3% and a pooled specificity of 95.9% and concluded that this modality can be safely used as a first-line agent in evaluating AMI (Menke J. Diagnostic accuracy of multidetector CT in acute mesenteric ischemia: systematic review and meta-analysis. Radiology 2010; 256: 93–101).
A single-institution retrospective cohort review from the Cleveland Clinic
described 56 of 70 patients with arterial embolic or thrombotic etiologies of AMI who underwent initial endovascular therapies. Successful endovascular treatment was achieved in 87%, defined as return of bowel perfusion without laparotomy, or with laparotomy but without open embolectomy or bypass. They demonstrated a statistically significant difference between in-hospital mortality with endovascular treatment (36%) as compared with traditional open therapy (50%). Factors associated with increased risk of death included advanced age, history of coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and an initial lactate >2.2 mmol/L (Arthurs ZM, Titus J, Bannazadeh M, Eagleton MJ, Srivastava S, Sarac TP, Clair DG. A comparison of endovascu­lar revascularization with traditional therapy for the treatment of acute mesenteric ischemia. J Vasc Surg 2011; 53: 698–705).

Acute liver failure can be a primary indication for ICU care as well as a
significant co-morbidity and its management is driven by the etiology. Unfortunately, acute liver failure is resolved in only 40% of cases, leaving a significant number of patient in need of liver transplantation (Chapter 26).
Chronic liver failure ( cirrhosis) is a common co-morbidity that complicates
ICU patient care.
Cirrhosis is divided into two stages: compensated and decompensated. The
median survival of patients with decompensated cirrhosis and a Child-Pugh score 12 or a model of end stage liver disease (MELD) score 21 is 6 months compared to a median survival of patients with compensated cirrhosis of >12 years. Decompensated cirrhosis often requires liver transplant for survival.

The differential diagnosis of patients with acute jaundice associated with
critical illness can be broadly divided into three groups: extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, increased bilirubin production (or re-absorption), and impaired excretion due to hepatocellular dysfunction, hepatitis, or intrahe­patic cholestasis.
Biliary disease can be difficult to diagnose and often takes the form of
acalculous cholecystitis [Chapter 10-(vi)].
The management of biliary obstruction can be treated via endoscopic or
percutaneous approaches and surgery is rarely indicated except in cases of life-threatening hemorrhage from biliary-arterial fistula.
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas that ranges
from mild edema to life-threatening necrosis. The mortality rate for severe acute pancreatitis has been reported as high as 15–30%. Early aggressive resuscitation is required to minimize morbidity and mortality.
Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) should not be routinely
performed in patients with acute pancreatitis and is indicated only in patients who show clinical signs of sepsis, fail to improve on supportive therapy, or regress after an initial period of improvement.
Antibiotic prophylaxis has not been shown to reduce mortality, protect against
infected necrosis, or reduce the need for surgical intervention and is not routinely indicated in patients with severe acute pancreatitis, including those with sterile pancreatic necrosis.
Enteral nutrition has been shown to lower the incidence of infections,
reduced surgical interventions to control pancreatitis, and a reduced length of hospital stay. It is the preferred route of nutritional support in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and can be given via nasogastric or nasojejunal routes.
Early surgical debridement of necrotic pancreatic tissue is only indicated for
FNA-proven infected necrosis or patients with surgical complications such as massive bleeding or bowel perforation.
Measurements of intra-abdominal pressure should be done liberally as
abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) has been reported in up to 55% of patients with severe pancreatitis [Chapter 8-(vi)].
Background
Acute liver failure is defined as either encephalopathy or hepatic synthetic
dysfunction (INR > 1.49) in a patient without a history of pre-existing liver disease and lasting < 26 weeks in duration.
Hepatopancreaticobiliary 327
The most common cause of acute liver failure is acetaminophen overdose
followed by idiosyncratic drug reaction.
Cirrhosis develops as a result of progressive hepatic fibrosis that is character-
ized by distortion of the hepatic architecture and formation of regenerative nodules. Although early treatment of the cause of liver disease may improve or reverse cirrhosis, advanced cirrhosis is irreversible.
Patients with cirrhosis who have not developed major complications are
classified as compensated cirrhosis
Decompensated cirrhosis is a life-threatening condition that is characterized
by one of the following complications: variceal hemorrhage, ascites, sponta­neous bacterial peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatorenal and hepatopulmonary syndrome.
Patients with bleeding, infection, alcohol intake, medications, dehydration,
and constipation are at increased risk of developing decompensated cirrhosis.
The MELD score is based on three biochemical variables: serum bilirubin,
serum creatinine, and either international normalized ratio (INR) or pro­thrombin time. It has been shown to accurately predict 3-month mortality from liver disease and should be used for allocation of liver donors.
Eighty percent of daily bilirubin production is derived from hemoglobin. Heme
from senescent red blood cells is converted to bilverdin via the rate limiting enzyme heme oxygenase. Bilverdin is subsequently converted to unconjugated bilirubin via bilverdin reductase and is carried to the liver via binding to albumin. Unconjugated bilirubin is taken up in the hepatocytes via facilitated diffusion and is conjugated by uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase (UGT), which is secreted across the canalicular membrane of the hepatocyte via canalicular multi-drug resistant protein 2 (MRP2). Bacterial enzymes in the intestine reduce bilirubin into urobilinogen and stercobilinogen.
Although not routinely indicated, contrast enhanced CT of the abdomen is the
gold standard for diagnosing acute pancreatitis and its associated complica­tions. Necrosis is characterized by focal or diffuse areas of diminished pancreatic parenchymal enhancement (<50 Hounsfield Units).
Pancreatic necrosis is associated with pancreatic infection in up to 30–70% of
cases, which is the most important risk factor for death.
Several prognostic scoring systems including Ranson’s Criteria, Glascow
(Imrie) score, and APACHE II have been developed to predict clinical outcomes of acute pancreatitis, but frequent clinical assessment is mandatory.
The Balthazar score is used in CT severity index (CTSI) for grading of acute
pancreatitis and includes grading of pancreatitis (A-E) and the extent of pancreatic necrosis.
