Filter by:In septic shock there is growing evidence of a state of hemodynamic "disconnection" with seemingly adequate macrocirculatory values despite actual microcirculation failing to meet cellular demand. Norepinephrine (NE) is recommended as first choice vasoactive agent for the treatment of septic shock. However, the dynamic effects of NE on macro- and microcirculation and perfusion parameters has not been described in detail in the context of septic shock, precluding rational individualized titration of NE and fluids, as recommended recently. In the present prospective observational multicenter study in adult septic shock patients, we intend to explore the effects of NE on preload dependency and tissue perfusion by evaluating the correlation and potential discrepancies between macro- and microcirculation both during titration of NE and after fluid resuscitation. The conclusions drawn from our study will contribute to the physiological knowledge necessary for establishing individualized evidence-based bedside management of hemodynamics in the setting of septic shock.
The purpose of this study is to assess respiratory variation of carotid doppler peak velocity (∆CDPV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness during major abdominal surgery.
Intraoperative hypotension (MAP <65 mmHg) in patients undergoing general anesthesia is a notable risk factor for the development of post-operative complications including acute kidney injury (AKI), myocardial injury, stroke and delirium, and is strongly associated with increased mortality. Moreover, the mean and systolic blood pressure values tend to undergo significant fluctuations with different positions assumed by the patient during surgery. Since severe hypotensive phenomena are connected with cerebral hypoperfusion and are associated with negative outcomes, close monitoring of blood pressure is necessary. The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the number of hypotensive episodes, their quality and their duration in patients monitored with the oscillometric intermittent noninvasive blood pressure method compared to patients with continuous noninvasive monitoring using ClearSight during orthopedic surgery in sitting position performed under general anesthesia and with interscalene block. The measure of hypotension will be expressed (in mmHg) with the TWA-MAP value (time-weighted average intraoperative MAP) to define the severity and duration of the hypotensive episode. For a subgroup of patients, brain oximetry will be monitored using the ForeSight system to record episodes of cerebral desaturation. Secondary endpoints include: number of severe hypotensive episodes (MAP <60 mmHg or <50 mmHg) recorded; time to event: how long does it take for the medical staff to correct the hypotensive episode (treated according to the planned protocol); quantity of vasopressors and/or fluids used to correct the hypotensive event; incidence of perioperative adverse cardiac events and acute kidney injury. The primary hypothesis is that continuous non-invasive monitoring using ClearSight reduces the incidence of intraoperative hypotensive events (defined by mean arterial pressure below a value of 65 mmHg for more than 1 minute) and the duration of the events themselves, leading to an improvement in patients' outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the maternal cardiac output response to prophylactic norepinephrine and phenylephrine infusion for postspinal anesthesia hypotension in parturients with preeclampsia undergoing cesarean section.
Hemodynamic parameters and lactate level will be on CBP during CABG surgery patients.
The general objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact and safety of focused, point-of-care transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) used during the evaluation of critically-ill patients in the emergency and intensive care settings. The target population for this study are critically-ill patients over the age of 18 who as part of their routine clinical care are receiving a focused TEE. The primary objective of this study is to determine the clinical impact and safety of TEE performed during the evaluation of critically-ill patients in the emergency department and intensive care settings. The secondary objective(s) of this study are to characterize the use of this imaging modality in the subsets of critically-ill patients in shock and cardiac arrest; including but not limited to; description of the frequency of studies, clinical indications, clinician characteristics, echocardiography findings, timing of studies, procedure-related complications and patient outcomes.
During major surgery, it is recommended to monitor invasive arterial blood pressure and cardiac output (CO) during hemodynamic interventions (fluid challenge or vasopressors). Esophageal Doppler is currently considered as the reference method for monitoring cardiac output in the operating room. The PRAM method (pressure recording analytical method) with the MostCareUp monitor (Vytech, Padova, Italy) and the LTIA method (long time interval analysis) allow cardiac output estimation derived from non-calibrated arterial pressure waveform analysis. Few studies have looked at relative changes in cardiac output during hemodynamic intervention with these two methods. The aim of this study is to compare the relative changes in cardiac output during hemodynamic interventions as measured using PRAM and LTIA methods, compared to esophageal Doppler.
The application of a brief SIGH of 4 seconds at 35 cmH20 has shown to reliably predict fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients undergoing pressure support ventilation. The end-expiratory occlusion test (EEOT) has been also used in the same type of patients, with the same purpose, but in a limited amount of studies. The aim of this study is to compare the reliability of the the two test in assessing fluid responsiveness.
This study will evaluate whether supplementation of exogenous ketones in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and acutely decompensated heart failure requiring inotropic therapy would improve the patient's hemodynamics and symptoms.
Assessment of fluid responsiveness (FR) is to detect whether patient could benefit from fluid therapy. Mini fluid challenge has been widely used in clinical practice to prevent patients from volume overload. In clinical practice, 100 mL or 250 mL have been used most frequently and FR was defined as an increase in CO greater than 10% as much as the changes in CO after infusion of 500 mL. While using a half of volume infusion and assessed by the traditional standard of FR, this might misclassify more patients as nonresponders. In that it is imperative to test the predictive ability of mini fluid and find out the threshold of cutoff value. Meanwhile, in almost mini-FC, cardiac output were measured by echocardiography(VTi) and pulse contour,None of the studies conducted cardiac output (CO)measurement by gold standard method of thermodilution by pulmonary artery catheter (PAC). The correlation between new generated CO measurements and PAC varies in different studies as well. It is imperative to investigate the reliability of mini-FC to predicting fluid responsiveness(FR).The investigator's study is to detect the predictive minimal volume using thermodilution by PAC in septic shock patient.
