AM J Pub Health 1999 :89;1221-1227
1980’s with establishment of certification in PV surg and distal bypass the numbers of amps dropped
In the early 1990’s with interventions the numbers further lowered
1995/96 rate per 100,000 slightly up from 1993 and higher than the past 18 year mean

Microcirculation
Anatomy
85% thermal shunting, 15% nutritive basal
A vital organ of the CV system whose function it is to ensure adequate delivery of oxygen by blood to various tissue cells
Microcirculation
Tc02 monitoring
Laser doppler imaging
P-31 NMR spectroscopy
PET scan
Orthogonal polarization spectroscopy
SDF – side stream dark field

Classifying microcirculatory abnormalities in distributive shock
Perfusion within this system is based upon
Arterial oxygen saturation
Blood viscosity
RBC deformability
Shunting
Vasodilation
Vasoconstriction
Diffusion constant of gases
Distance from cell to nearest vessel

Sakr et al
49 patients in ICU with septic shock
Sublingual microcirculation studied with OPS, day of sepsis and daily until recovered or death
26 patients survived, 20 died
At onset of shock survivors and non had similar vascular density and percentage of perfused vessels
Overall perfusion improved in survivors over time p<0.05
Patients dying after the resolution of shock had a lower percentage of perfused vessels

Microcirculation
J Vasc Surg 2002;35:501-5 Arora et al (LoGerfo) Impaired vasodilation in diabetic neuropathic lower extremities improves but is not completely reversed with successful bypass grafting.(laser doppler trial)
Post revasc diabetic patients may therefore still be at risk for foot ulceration and may fail to heal the ulcer despite adequate correction of macrovascular flow
No Reflow phenomenon
Introduced 1967 Ames
Cerebral ischemia in rabbits
Occlusion of vessel greater than 2 minutes resulted in failure to completely reperfuse when vessel unclamped
Kloner 1974 reproduced in dogs with histological findings
Swollen endothelium, and dysfunction
Correlated to area of necrosis

Caselli et al
23pts with successful revasc, 20 w/o retro
Tcp02 1,7,14,21,28 days post revasc
Successful revasc pts had increases immediately with a peak at 4 weeks
Total of 75% of cases >30 at 4 weeks
Unsuccessful revasc, small initial rise but stable for 4 weeks
NOTE: Possible reason to wait 4 weeks for definitive debridement in non-septic cases

Review article
Tissue perfusion after perfusion-reperfusion injury remains dysfunctional in cardiac tissue for 4 weeks
4 week analysis of tissue perfusion is predictive of scar thickness, infarct healing, and infarct expansion
