Circulatory shock is a condition of generalized inadequate blood flow through the body,
leading to insufficient tissue perfusion and inadequate delivery of oxygen and other
nutrients, to the extent that tissues are damaged. Four basic mechanisms of circulatory
failure are distinguished, caused by a scale of underlying illnesses: distributive,
hypovolemic, obstructive and cardiogenic shock. The last three types are characterized by a
low cardiac output and hypovolemia. Distributive shock is characterized by peripheral
circulation failure, with a low systemic vascular resistance, a disturbed microcirculation
and a high cardiac output. Frequently, these forms overlap.
Shock is a common problem in the intensive care unit (ICU) as it affects about one third of
the patients. Septic shock appears to be the most common type, followed by cardiogenic and
hypovolemic shock. The diagnosis of shock is based on clinical examination with use of
well-known circulatory parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate; biochemical
parameters such as lactate and direct (semi-)invasive measurement of cardiac output and other
variables.
Since cardiac output is an important determinant of oxygen delivery, many different methods
of measuring cardiac output have been suggested. These methods range from non-invasive to
invasive measurements with central lining. The most invasive method, the pulmonary artery
catheter (PAC) has long been considered the optimal form of monitoring cardiac output by
using thermodilution. However, this technique is associated with adverse events, such as
bleeding, and there is no clear evidence of improved outcome. Therefore, numerous other
techniques have been proposed, ranging from systems that use the dilution technique but only
require central venous and peripheral artery lines; to less invasive tools that estimate
cardiac output based on the arterial pressure waveform; and to non-invasive echocardiography.
Despite technical advances, much remains unknown about the value of conventionally used
hemodynamic parameters for estimating cardiac output. A distinction between macro- and
microcirculatory parameters can be made. Commonly used macro-circulatory parameters are heart
rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and central venous
pressure. Lactate is used as a proxy for microcirculatory status. Over the years several
other measurements have been suggested to improve insight in the hemodynamics of a certain
patient or a group of patients. Skin temperature, capillary refill, mottling score and
urinary output are used for hemodynamic assessment of the peripheral circulation and tissue
perfusion. Most of these parameters have not been evaluated in a large prospective study and
especially a combination of all these parameters has not directly been correlated to cardiac
output.
More knowledge on the predictive value of all hemodynamic parameters in estimating cardiac
output could assist physicians in earlier detection of impaired hemodynamics without the need
for invasive or advanced methods. In this study the investigators aim to evaluate all
hemodynamic parameters in a large unselected population of critically ill patients and to
correlate them to cardiac output.
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to create an infrastructure for a registry flexible to
incorporate temporarily added specific research questions on the outcome of critically ill
patients.

Other | The association between clinical, biochemical and haemodynamic variables and tissue (muscle) StO2 at the knee measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with the Inspectra StO2 tissue oxygenation monitor | Substudy 1 - primary outcome StO2 was measured by NIRS with the Inspectra StO2 tissue oxygenation monitor, model 650 (Hutchinson Technology, Inc., Hutchinson, Minnesota, USA). We used a 15-mm probe to measure the StO2 at a depth of 14mm at two sites: the thenar eminence and the distal end of the vastus medialis muscle. The average StO2 value was calculated over 30 seconds after one minute of signal stabilisation. |

Primary | The association of a single or combination of clinical examination findings with cardiac index measured with transthoracic ultrasonography | Primary outcome of the basic study, answering our diagnostic research question We calculated cardiac index, which was derived from cardiac output. Cardiac output has been measured with the cardiac probe M3S of M4S with default cardiac imaging setting of the General Electric Vivid-S6 mobile ultrasound machine. Two views were obtained: the parasternal long axis (PLAX) and the apical five chamber view (AP5CH). The PLAX was used as the primary view to measure the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) diameter. The AP5CH view was used to measure the velocity time integral (VTI) using the pulse wave Doppler signal in the LVOT. Cardiac output was calculated on the ultrasound machine according to the formula: Cardiac output (L/min)=heart rate ·VTI·p·(1/2·LVOT)^2 Clinical examination findings have been collected during a one-time physical examination, which is further specified at the study description section. |

For this outcome, we will determine the cut-offs as follows: Use a cardiac index cut-off of 2.2 L/min/m2 Identify the optimal cut-off(s) for cardiac index. We will use dot plots to assess the distribution of cardiac index stratified by the presence or absence of each (combination of) clinical examination finding(s) that indicate hypoperfusion.
