  1. ICU Patient Core Body & Ambient Temperature 24-Hr Patterns & Illness SeverityAuthors: M.A. Vincent, S.K. Hanneman, N.S. Padhye, M.H. Smolensky, D-H Kang Symposium: Circadian Rhythms in Acute & Chronic Illness Mary Anne Vincent, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC Sam Houston State University, Department of Nursing Huntsville, Texas

  2. Background & Significance • > 2 million Americans per year receive ICU care (Angus et al., 2006). • Acute stress: ICU environment and critical illness (Christensen, 2007; Denniset al., 2010; Meyer et al., 1994). • Altered circadian rhythms have shown to reliably diminish the well-being of young and healthy individuals (Litinski, Scheer, & Shea, 2009). • We wonder what altered circadian rhythms can do to ICU patients. • Mechanically ventilated ICU patients: • among the most critically ill • little is known about the normal pattern of their circadian rhythms • Knowing the normal pattern of mechanically ventilated ICU patients will: • inform interventions (e.g., timing of ventilator weaning) • that offer chronotherapeuticadvantage Sam Houston State University

  3. State of the Science Notes. %R = Percent statistically significant rhythms. All segments were either abnormal or abolished circadian rhythms. All studies only looked at 24-hr segments. Sam Houston State University

  4. Aim of the Study • To measure 24-hr patterns of core body temperature and ambient temperature in mechanically ventilated ICU patients for up to 7 days to determine how patterns influence patient outcome. Sam Houston State University

  5. Methods • Time-series design • Recorded in 1-minute intervals continuously • For up to 7 days • Adult mechanically ventilated ICU patients • Variables: • Core body temperature • Ambient temperature Sam Houston State University

  6. Analysis • Single cosinor analysis: linear regression fit to cosine curve • Serial sections (Padhye & Hanneman, 2007) • Length set to 24-hrs • Correlation of segment parameters with daily clinical outcomes • Days on mechanical ventilation • Patient mortality • APACHE II illness severity scores Sam Houston State University

  7. Cosinor Analysis • Linear regression model using a cosine curve • Produces parameters for each 24-hr serial segment: • Amplitude (A, ½ peak-to-trough difference) • Peak time (P, referenced to local midnight) • Mesor (M, 24-h rhythm-adjusted mean) • Period (Time length of a complete cycle) • Significant rhythm patterns have: • Zero amplitude test: A ≠ 0 test, p < 0.05 Meaning: Probability less than 5% that the cosine curve is a flat horizontal line. • Linear regression goodness-of-fit test: R2 ≥ 0.3 Meaning: 30% or more of the data fit the curve. Sam Houston State University

  8. APACHE II • Illness severity index • 0-72 possible • Higher scores indicate greater illness severity • Parameters • Age • Clinical vital signs & labs • Acute physiology • Chronic health Sam Houston State University

  9. Results • Significant patterns occurred in: • 83% of core body temperature segments • 76% of ambient temperature segments • All core body temperature cosinor parameters were abnormal. • Primary medical diagnoses: • H1N1 pneumonia • ARDS • Sepsis • CHF • Delirium Tremens • 9 patients completed the study • 10 patients enrolled • 1 patient dropped due to expiring 8 hrsfrom enrollment • Age 43 to 87 years • Duration in study: 2 to 7 days • APACHE II average: 17±5 • Mortality: 50% of all enrolled • Days on mechanical ventilation: 1.6-36 Sam Houston State University

  10. Results • Mean(SD) core body temperature cosinor parameters were: • Amplitude = 0.3 (0.2) oC • Peak time = 12:52 (07:08) • Mesor = 37.6 (0.5) oC • Mean (SD) ambient temperature cosinor parameters were: • Amplitude = .7 (.6) oC • Peak time = 11:31 (5:56) • Mesor = 20.9 (1.3) • Normal core body temperature cosinor parameters are: • Amplitude: 0.167 - 0.28 oC • Peak time: 16:48 to 18:08 • Mesor: 36.4 to 37.1oC Normal values from "Reference Values for Chronopharmacology,“ by E. Haus et al., 1988, Annual Review of Chronopharmacology: Vol. 4, pp. 333-424. Sam Houston State University

  11. Results • Within-subject daily illness severity scores correlated negatively with core body temperature amplitude: (r = -0.28, one-sided p = 0.04) • No correlation existed among other variables. • Results essentially agree with the findings of the state of the science *Patient 6 suffered from alcohol withdraw Sam Houston State University

  12. Conclusions • Core body temperature circadian patterns • All daily rhythms were abnormal • Persisted for up to 7 days • Findings agree with the current state of the science • Contribution to the science: Abnormal cosinor amplitude was associated with illness severity Sam Houston State University

  13. Discussion • Small sample • Assuming a rhythm period to be 24-hrs long • Mechanically ventilated ICU patients • Light, sound, relative humidity, and ambient temperature were also measured • Further research needed: • determine if these findings hold with larger samples • offer insight for devising interventions (e.g., circadian light patterns) that improve clinical outcome by synchronizing the central circadian pacemaker.
