Endothelial Glycocalyx - Diagnostic Approach and Intervention Assesment

UNIVERZITA KARLOVA Lékařská fakulta v Plzni Dizertační práce Endothelial glycocalyx - diagnostic approach and intervention assessment MUDr.Jiří Pouska ABSTRACT Endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is fine structure on the surface of endothelium. After extensive research in past years, revisited Starling principle was finally formulated. It describes fluid physiology in capillaries precisely. EG has pivotal role in keeping endothelium semipermeable and thus avoiding extensive filtration of fluids to interstitium. Assessment of EG is clinically difficult. Many pathological conditions lead to damage of EG (sepsis etc.). Intravenous fluid therapy is mainstay of treatment of such conditions. Our aim was to determine the changes of EG integrity depending on the choice of intravenous fluid and its infusion time in physiological and pathological conditions. Key words: Endothelial glycocalyx, infusion therapy, anaesthesia, sepsis, microcirculation.

Tissue microcirculation in cardiac arrest setting - impact of various methods of circulatory support
 Krupičková, Petra ; Bělohlávek, Jan (advisor) ; Widimský, Jiří (referee) ; Rokyta, Richard (referee)
Introduction: This dissertation thesis aims to describe microcirculatory changes in cardiac arrest setting and to assess the impact of circulatory supports (i.e. mechanical chest compressions and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)) on tissue microcirculation. Methods and results: Two separate studies were designed. Microcirculation was monitored sublingually by a recent Sidestream Dark Field (SDF) technique and its parameters were evaluated offline, separately for small (of diameter ≤ 20µm) and other vessels. In order to monitor microcirculation during cardiac arrest (CA) and resuscitation (CPR) an experimental pig model was used; eighteen pigs were commenced to 3 minutes of untreated CA and subsequent 5 minutes of mechanical CPR. During CA the microcirculatory parameters deteriorated, in CPR they improved and reached 59 - 85 % of the prearrest values. The microcirculatory variables correlated neither to parameters of systemic circulation (mean arterial blood pressure and carotid blood flow) nor to lactate. In the second, clinical, study the sublingual microcirculation was monitored 29 (± 17) hours after the CA onset in 15 patients, who were after unsuccessful conventional CPR rescued by ECMO. In comparison to healthy (sex and age matched) volunteers, the patients showed mild but...
