Burn and smoke inhalation-related multiple organ dysfunction is associated with a severe fall in the plasma concentration of antithrombin. Therefore the aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that intravenous administration of recombinant human antithrombin in combination with aerosolized heparin will ameliorate acute lung injury in sheep exposed to cutaneous burn and smoke inhalation. Sheep were prepared operatively for study and, 7 days post-surgery, sheep were given a cutaneous…

Antithrombin attenuates myocardial dysfunction and reverses systemic fluid accumulation following burn and smoke inhalation injury: a randomized, controlled, experimental study

Based on these findings, the supplementation of rhAT may represent a valuable therapeutic approach for cardiovascular dysfunction and inflammation after burn and smoke inhalation injury.

Antithrombin Attenuates Vascular Leakage via Inhibiting Neutrophil Activation in Acute Lung Injury

Evidence is provided for the interaction between antithrombin and neutrophils in vivo, its pathophysiological role in vascular leakage, and the therapeutic potential of recombinant human antitrombin III in a large animal model of acute lung injury.

Advantages and pitfalls of combining intravenous antithrombin with nebulized heparin and tissue plasminogen activator in acute respiratory distress syndrome

Combining intravenous rhAT with neBulized heparin and nebulized TPA more effectively restores pulmonary gas exchange, but the anti-inflammatory effects of sole rhAT are abolished with the triple therapy.

Update on Antithrombin for the Treatment of Burn Trauma and Smoke Inhalation Injury

Both the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and the pro-coagulatory imbalance in hemostasis ultimately result in multiple organ failure (MOF) and increased mortality rates.

Development of inhalable formulations of anti-inflammatory drugs to potentially treat smoke inhalation injury in burn victims.

Development of a long-term ovine model of cutaneous burn and smoke inhalation injury and the effects of early excision and skin autografting.

Nebulized anticoagulants for acute lung injury - a systematic review of preclinical and clinical investigations

Nebulization of heparin was found to have an effect on systemic coagulation, but without causing systemic bleedings, and local anticoagulant therapy through nebulization of antICOagulants attenuates pulmonary coagulopathy and frequently also inflammation in preclinical studies of lung injury.

Pulmonary activation of coagulation and inhibition of fibrinolysis after burn injuries and inhalation trauma.

Patients with burn injuries and inhalation trauma requiring mechanical ventilation show a distinct and sustained procoagulant and antifibrinolytic shift in the pulmonary compartment, and pulmonary coagulopathy could be an important therapeutic target in these patients.

Pathophysiology, management and treatment of smoke inhalation injury

An overview of the pathophysiological changes, management and treatment options of smoke inhalation injury based on the current literature suggests anticoagulants, antioxidants and bronchodilators represent the most promising treatment strategies.

Management of acute smoke inhalation injury.

The therapeutic strategy of decontaminating the lungs early after smoke exposure to prevent inhalation injury has received little attention, but could potentially utilise amphoteric, hypertonic chelating agents developed for topical and ocular chemical exposures.

Heparin Nebulization Attenuates Acute Lung Injury in Sepsis Following Smoke Inhalation in Sheep

Histological changes consisting of cellular infiltrates, lung edema, congestion, and cast formation were reduced by heparin, suggesting that nebulized inhaled Heparin is a beneficial therapy for sepsis-induced ALI.

AEROSOLIZED TISSUE PLASMINOGEN INHIBITOR IMPROVES PULMONARY FUNCTION IN SHEEP WITH BURN AND SMOKE INHALATION

Evidence is provided that clearance of airway obstructive cast material is crucial in managing acute respiratory distress syndrome resulting from combined burn and smoke inhalation injury.

Role of anti-L-selectin antibody in burn and smoke inhalation injury in sheep.

Results suggest that the changes in pulmonary transvascular fluid flux result from injury of lung endothelium by polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and L-selectin may be a useful target in the treatment of acute lung injury after burn and smoke inhalation.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase dimerization inhibitor prevents cardiovascular and renal morbidity in sheep with combined burn and smoke inhalation injury.

A major role is identified for iNOS in mediating extrapulmonary comorbidity in a clinically relevant and severe trauma model and the use of highly selective iNos inhibitors as novel treatments in critical care medicine is supported.

The inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor BBS-2 prevents acute lung injury in sheep after burn and smoke inhalation injury.

Evidence is provided that iNOS is a key mediator of pulmonary pathology in sheep with ARDS resulting from combined burn and smoke inhalation injury and treatment of injured sheep with BBS-2 attenuated the increases in tracheal blood flow and plasma NOx levels.

Role of nitric oxide in vascular permeability after combined burns and smoke inhalation injury.

The data suggest that NO produced by iNOS plays an important role in the changes in systemic and pulmonary microvascular permeability in combined smoke inhalation/third-degree burn injury, but does not affect the vascular permeability of third-degree-burned tissue in this type of injury.

Role of L-selectin in physiological manifestations after burn and smoke inhalation injury in sheep.

Findings indicate that both leukocyte-dependent and -independent mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis that occurs after combined injury with burn and smoke inhalation.

Antithrombin III concentrate in the acute phase of thermal injury.

Airway obstruction in sheep with burn and smoke inhalation injuries.

Results suggest that strategies to remove or decrease formation of upper airway obstructive material may reduce its deposition into small airways and parenchyma and may improve respiratory function in victims of smoke inhalation injury.

High-Dose Antithrombin III in Severe Sepsis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

High-dose antithrombin III therapy had no effect on 28-day all-cause mortality in adult patients with severe sepsis and septic shock when administered within 6 hours after the onset and was associated with an increased risk of hemorrhage when administered with heparin.
