  2. Background • Cardiac uncoupling a predictor of mortality • Cardiac uncoupling: • the heart acting autonomously from central regulation • Reduction in heart rate variability(HRV) measured in the first 24 hrs of ICU stay

  3. Physiologic reserve: • Age, gender, pre-existing dx • Physiologic exhaustion: • Acidosis, coagulopathy, hypothermia

  4. Hypothesis: • Deteriorating physiologic reserve triggers cardiac uncoupling and foreshadows the onset of physiologic exhaustion.

  5. Methods -1 • Settings: • Vanderbilt University Medical Center(VUMC) level one trauma center. • 3,500 trauma cases admitted annually • 31-bed dedicated trauma unit. 14 of 31 are ICU beds. 700-800 admissions/year

  6. Method -2 • Data source: • SIMON: data are prospectively captured during the course of clinical care. • TRACS: more than 300 parameters are captured via retrospectively. • VUMC diagnostic laboratory

  7. Inclusion criteria -1

  8. Inclusion criteria -2 • From DEC 15, 2000~ MAY 15, 2004 • Initial admission. Knock out in-hospital transfers or re-admissions.

  9. Measurements -1 • Demographics and outcome, • Age, gender, ethnicity from TRACS • Physiologic reserve • Patient age and ISS, obtained form TRACS • Measurements of physiologic reserve • Acidosis, coagulopathy and hemorrhage severity • Cardiac uncoupling

  10. Measurement -2 • Acidosis: • Initial lactate value(LACi) • Highest lactate value in 1st 24 hrs after admission • Time to lactate normalization(LACt) • △ time: 1st abnormal data till 1st normal data achieved • >72 hrs category for without a recorder normal data • Deterioration in lactate over 1st 24 hrs(LAC△24) • △ Data : admission data till highest abnormal data {Normal lactate value: <2.5 mEq/L}

  11. Measurement –3 • Coagulopathy: • INR • Hemorrhage severity • Transfusion requirement (uPRBC)

  12. Measurement -4 • Cardiac uncoupling • Percentage of time in 1st 24 hrs that short-term heart rate variability(HRV) falls within critically low range. {heart rate data is split into 5-min intervals} {critically low range: 0.3~0.6 bpm}

  13. Analysis • X2 test • Univariate logistic regression • Access the independence relationship between cardiac uncoupling and each physiologic reserve. • Multivariate logistic regression • Characterize simultaneous contribution of multiple physiologic reserve to risk of cardiac uncoupling.

  22. Discussions -1 • Overview: • Cardiac uncoupling fit nicely within the framework of physiologic reserve/exhaustion paradigm. • Strengths: • Pts population is homogenous • Data set is robust and unique • Provide data on a new physiologic tool: cardiac uncoupling. • possibility utilization of this noninvasive parameter for prediction and evaluation in clinical practice.

  23. Discussions -2 • Limitations: • Current system does not contain reliable data on genetics, pre-existing disease, or preinjury medications. • Preinjury medication can affect in 2 ways: • Certain medications have significant positive or negative effect on HRV • Presence of preinjury anticoagulant/anti-platelet confusing preexisting coagulopathy from consumptive coagulopathy. • Relationship between hypothermia and cardiac uncoupling is unknown.

  24. Conclusions • Reduced heart rate variability is a new biomaker reflecting the loss of command and control of the heart(cardiac uncoupling) • Risk of cardiac uncoupling increase as physiologic reserve deteriorating and physiologic exhaustion approaches. • Cardiac uncoupling provides a noninvasive, overall measure of a pt’s clinical trajectory over the 1st 24 hrs.
