Filter by:This is an observational study of patients with severe acute brain injury, which aims to characterize the development of hyperglycaemia and hyperlactataemia and the influence of these markers on clinical outcome. Additionally, in a subgroup of patients undergoing advanced multimodal neuromonitoring on either clinical or research indication, the relationship between hyperglycaemia and brain glucose levels as well as systemic and microdialysis lactate will be examined.
Burden: The global burden of sepsis is difficult to ascertain, although a recent scientific publication estimated that in 2017 there were 48.9 million cases and 11 million sepsis-related deaths worldwide, which accounted for almost 20% of all global deaths. Recent chart analysis from Dhaka Hospital, icddrb recorded 350 adults with severe sepsis admitted over four years. Among them, 69% of patients progressed to septic shock. Knowledge gap: Clinical features of shock due to sepsis and shock due to severe dehydration are very intertwining and often predicament for critical care physicians. If not recognized early and managed promptly, it can lead to septic shock, multiple organ failure, and eventually death. Serum lactate may play a role as the point of care test in differentiating shock due to severe sepsis from shock due to severe dehydration. Relevance: Being the largest diarrhoeal disease hospital, the Dhaka Hospital of icddr,b is ideal for researching shock with diarrheal diseases. Even though the onset of sepsis can be acute and poses a short-term mortality burden, it can also cause significant long-term morbidity, requiring treatment and support. Thus, addressing sepsis and severe sepsis by early detection and prompt management should be a comprehensive way to reduce the burden in our community.
A variety of reasons lead to a sharp increase in lactic acid levels in patients undergoing liver resection, while leading to hyperlactic acidemia, resulting in decreased cardiac output, elevated blood potassium, and response to catecholamines and insulin Damage, increased risk of kidney damage, poor recovery of liver function, decreased immune function, and prolonged hospital stay. Sodium bicarbonate Ringer injection does not contain lactic acid. HCO3- is metabolized by acid-base neutralization in body fluids, and 90% is CO2 The form is excreted from the body by breathing, and only 10% HCO3- is metabolized by the kidney, without the burden of liver metabolism. Physiological concentration of Cl- avoids perchloric acidosis and kidney damage; physiological concentration of Ca2+ and Mg2+ help maintain the body's electrolyte balance and reduce stress-related arrhythmia.The smooth development of this study will help refine the intraoperative fluid management strategy, improve the patient's intraoperative tissue perfusion, maintain the body's acid-base and electrolyte balance, reduce postoperative kidney damage, and improve the patient's quality of life.
The MostCare system, thanks to the Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM; Vygon, Padua, Italy), provides new hemodynamic parameters of the cardiovascular system. The PRAM method is a noncalibrated pulse contour method which requires only an arterial line (radial or femoral). This method has been validated in various clinical conditions. Among the collected parameters, some are well known and used daily care in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), i.e. cardiac output (CO), arterial pressure, heart rate, stroke volume (SV). Others such as arterial elastance (Ea) or dicrotic pressure are more recent and merit further investigation to determine their interest in clinical practice. To date, it is rarely used to adapt therapies, mostly because of a lack of knowledge regarding the evolution of these parameters. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between the evolution of Arterial Elastance and fluid responsiveness after a 250 mL fluid challenge of crystalloids in 5 minutes in patients with either septic shock or in the postoperative course of a major vascular surgery. Patients will be considered fluid responders if an increase >10% of the stroke volume is observed .
In the pre-hospital setting, the severity assessment of septic shock is essential to decide the optimal initial in-hospital level of care. As clinical signs can be faulted, there is a need for an additional element in order to enhance the severity assessment and to decide in-hospital admission in the intensive care unit (ICU) or in the emergency department (ED). Point of care medical device yielding blood lactate levels since the pre-hospital setting may give an easy and valuable element for the severity assessment and the decision-making. The aim of this study is to provide clinical evidence that the pre-hospital blood lactate level predicts the 30-day mortality of patients with septic shock.
Persistent hyperlactatemia has been traditionally considered as representing tissue hypoxia, and lactate normalization is recommended as a resuscitation target by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC). However, other sources contribute to hyperlactatemia such as sustained adrenergic activity and impaired lactate clearance. Only hypoperfusion-related hyperlactatemia might be reversed by optimizing systemic blood flow. Fluid resuscitation (FR) is used to improve cardiac output (CO) in septic shock to correct hypoperfusion. Nevertheless, if persistent hyperlactatemia is not hypoxia-related, excessive FR could lead to flow overload. In addition, kinetics of recovery of lactate is relatively slow, and thus it might be a suboptimal target for FR. Peripheral perfusion appears as a promising alternative target. Abnormal capillary refill time (CRT) is frequently used as trigger for FR in septic shock. Studies demonstrated the strong prognostic value of persistent abnormal peripheral perfusion, and some recent data suggest that targeting FR on CRT normalization could be associated with less fluid loading and organ dysfunctions. The excellent prognosis associated with CRT recovery, the rapid-response time to fluid loading, its simplicity, and its availability in resource-limited settings, constitute a strong background to promote studies evaluating its usefulness to guide FR . The study hypothesis is that a CRT-targeted FR is associated with less positive fluid balances, organ dysfunctions, and at least similar improvement of tissue hypoperfusion or hypoxia, when compared to a lactate-targeted FR. To test this hypothesis, the investigators designed a clinical physiological, randomized controlled trial in septic shock patients. Recruited patients will be randomized to FR aimed at normalizing CRT or normalizing or decreasing lactate >20% every 2 h during the study period. Fluid challenges (500 ml in 30 min intervals) will be repeated until perfusion target is achieved, or dynamic predictors of fluid responsiveness become negative, or a safety limit is reached. The design of our study is aimed at: a) determining if CRT targeted resuscitation is associated with less fluid resuscitation and fluid balances; b) determining if this strategy is associated with less organ dysfunctions; and c) if it results in similar improvement in markers of tissue hypoperfusion or hypoxia such as hepato-splanchnic blood flow or microcirculatory perfusion.
The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of intravenous thiamine as compared with placebo in reducing the lactate level in septic shock patients.
The investigators compared the serum lactate, serum prolactin and serum creatine kinase concentrations following convulsive and non-convulsive syncopes. The aim of the study was to investigate their importance as diagnostic markers in transient loss of consciousness.
