Adenosine-Triphosphate in Trauma-Related and Elective Hypothermia

Abstract: Hypothermia in elective surgery, established by active cooling, preserves the ATP storage and maintains an aerobic metabolism, which both contribute to the beneficial effect of hypothermia in ischemia/reperfusion in cardiovascular surgery. However, in trauma patients hypothermia is caused by insufficient heat production due to utilization of ATP under anaerobic metabolic conditions. Low ATP plasma levels combined with hypothermia seem to be a predisposition for post-traumatic complications like organ failure.

“…Despite benefits of hypothermia in elective surgery, in certain trauma cases hypothermia is one of the most frequent causes of posttraumatic complications. Hypothermia induced by active cooling in elective surgery preserves well the ATP pool maintaining the aerobic metabolism, while in trauma patients hypothermia caused by decreased heat generation leads to ATP depletion under anaerobic metabolic condition 15 . Cellular depletion of ATP is in connection with the irreversibility of ischemic processes 29 .…”

“…Further questions rise in respect of cooling in traffic or crush accidents, or following traumatic limb amputation. Despite of the beneficial effect of preventive cooling, its optimum has not been clarified yet, furthermore, controversial data suggests that cooling does not mean always an advantage [12][13][14][15][16] . We hypothesized that limb ischemia-reperfusion at normo-or hypothermia variously alters blood coagulation parameters.…”

“…The important mechanisms associated with these beneficial effects are maintaining aerobic metabolism and reducing oxygen demand (20,21). Similar mechanisms have also enabled induced hypothermia to improve oral and gastric mucosal microvascular oxygenation under hypoxic conditions (22).…”

“…Plasma ATP levels fall with shock (Jabs et al, 1979;Seekamp et al, 1999), but these measurements may be confounded by failure to account for ATP release from blood elements and extracellular ATP catabolism (Gorman et al, 2007). Newer analytical methods show that ATP levels in some pericellular environments may be in the range of several hundred micromolar (Abbracchio et al, 2006;Bours et al, 2006;Pellegatti et al, 2008).…”
