object name: Lung ultrasound-guided fluid resuscitation in neonatal septic shock. type of study: prospective observational study. goal of study: The effects of severe ultrasound-assisted fluid resuscitation and conventional fluid resuscitation on the prognosis of children with neonatal septic shock were compared to evaluate the application value of the two techniques in fluid resuscitation of neonatal septic shock. research design: In this study, children with neonatal septic shock diagnosed in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Second People 's Hospital of Guangdong Province from January 1,2022 to December 31,2023 were included in the population. According to the different monitoring methods used in conventional / clinical shock treatment, 30 cases of fluid resuscitation assisted by severe ultrasound, 30 cases of fluid resuscitation assisted by NICOM and 30 cases of conventional fluid resuscitation were collected, a total of 90 cases. ( 1 ) The demographic data, blood examination and microbiological examination data of the two groups at admission were collected. ( 2 ) The fluid volume, blood lactic acid, blood pressure, vasoactive drugs ( such as dopamine and epinephrine / norepinephrine ), mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy and antibiotic use were collected before fluid resuscitation. ( 3 ) The cumulative fluid infusion volume during fluid resuscitation ( 6 hours ), and the use of vasoactive drugs and mechanical ventilation for 6 hours were collected. ( 4 ) NICU hospitalization time, cumulative hospitalization time and mortality were collected. Data collection : ( 1 ) The demographic data, blood examination and microbiological examination data of the three groups at admission were collected. ( 2 ) The fluid volume, blood lactic acid, blood pressure, vasoactive drugs ( such as dopamine and adrenaline / norepinephrine ), mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy and antibiotic use before fluid resuscitation were collected. ( 3 ) The cumulative fluid infusion volume during fluid resuscitation ( 6 hours ), and the use of vasoactive drugs and mechanical ventilation for 6 hours were collected. ( 4 ) NICU hospitalization time, cumulative hospitalization time and mortality were collected.
The objective of this trial is to assess the beneficial and harmful effects of a restrictive strategy for administration of non-resuscitation fluids in adult patients with septic shock.
This study aims to emulate a hypothetical target pragmatic multi-center, non-blinded trial of adult inpatients in the PINC AITM dataset with B-lactam treated culture confirmed monomicrobial invasive Group A streptococcus (GAS) between the years 2015-2021
Menstrual staphylococcal toxic shock is a rare but severe disease, requiring intensive care in over 80% of cases. Menstrual staphylococcal toxic shock develops during the peri-menstrual period, in healthy young women colonized by a vaginal strain of Staphylococcus aureus secreting the Toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) and not immune to it, in a favorable environment, i.e. wearing intravaginal menstrual protection (tampon, menstrual cup). The rarity of the syndrome, its polymorphous clinical presentation and the absence of a totally specific biological examination make menstrual staphylococcal toxic shock a difficult pathology to diagnose. The reference clinical criteria correspond to the advanced picture of multivisceral failure, making it possible to classify cases a posteriori, but contribute to diagnostic delay and lack sensitivity. Patient accounts suggest the presence of symptoms in the days preceding the development of toxic shock, and also during previous menstrual cycles. The identification of prodromal symptoms could enable earlier management of menstrual staphylococcal toxic shock by removal of intra-vaginal sanitary protection, the main risk factor, before the disease becomes permanently established and requires intensive care.
Norepinephrine is a catecholamine that is the first-line vasopressor for septic shock. The addition of non-catecholamine vasopressors, including vasopressin and angiotensin-II may be used in adults with septic shock that have inadequate mean arterial pressure while on norepinephrine. Uncertainty exists regarding the timing of initiation of these agents and there is a lack of data comparing their safety and efficacy. The current literature suggests that earlier initiation of angiotensin-II will have a more significant reduction on norepinephrine-equivalent dose compared to later initiation. In addition, approximately half of patients initiated on vasopressin do not have an early hemodynamic response 6 hours after initiation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of angiotensin-II when used as the second vasopressor agent for septic shock.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of resuscitation guided by Left ventricular outflow tract-velocity time integral (LVOT-VTI) variation versus the effect of resuscitation guided by inferior vena cava (IVC) variation on time to normalization of the capillary refill time in adult patients with septic shock, amount of resuscitation fluids, rate of vasopressor and ICU length of stay.
This is a single-center study retrospectively evaluating a local clinical routine to administer norepinephrine in midline catheters, with regard to complications and patient outcomes
In 2016, sepsis and septic shock was redocumented as fatal organ dysfunction caused by infection-induced host response disorders (Singer et al. 2016). Infectious shock is a subtype of sepsis; its circulation abnormalities significantly increase the mortality rate. The definition was updated to facilitate rapid identification and timely treatment. Despite the continuous progress of awareness and intervention, the mortality rate of septic shock is approaching 40% or more (Gasim et al. 2016, Karampela et al. 2022). Infectious shock exists in the presence of imbalance of oxygen supply and demand as well as tissue hypoxia, early improvement of tissue hypoperfusion is key to the treatment, a specific cluster treatment program was recommended in the guidelines of sepsis rescue action (Rhodes et al. 2017). Severe sepsis remains associated with high mortality, and the early recognition of the signs of tissue hypoperfusion is crucial in its management. The effectiveness of oxygen-derived parameters as resuscitation goals has been questioned, and the latest data have failed to demonstrate clinical advantage (Rudd et al. 2020). Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment of sepsis are of ulmost importance and key to survival. However, routinely used biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and procalcitonin, have shown moderate diagnostic and prognostic value. Of note, the recent consensus definition for sepsis is based on clinical criteria, implying the paucity of reliable sepsis biomarkers. The new diagnostic criteria also incorporate the use of the SOFA score, a composite prediction tool, which is derived by a combination of clinical signs and biomarkers of organ dysfunction, leaving aside classic inflammatory biomarkers (Pierrakos et al. 2020, Karampela et al. 2022). The venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) is <70% in the majority of patients with severe sepsis on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). The central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference or only carbon dioxide gap (PCO2 gap) has gained relevance as a measure of assessment of several parameters (Mallat et al. 2015). The balance of dioxide carbon (CO2) production by the tissues and its elimination through the lungs can be reflected by the difference between the mixed venous content (CvCO2) and the arterial content (CaCO2). This venous-arterial difference in CO2 content (CCO2) can be estimated by the following equation: ΔPCO2 = PvCO2 - PaCO2, denominated PCO2 gap and in physiological conditions it ranges from 2 to 5 mmHg. In a few words, it indicates the difference between partial pressure of carbon dioxide in central venous blood (PvCO2) and arterial blood (PaCO2) (Janotka et al. 2021). The venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (Pv-aCO2) can indicate the adequacy of microvascular blood flow in the early phases of resuscitation in sepsis (Ospina-Tascon et al. 2016, de Sá 2022). Hence, other resuscitation goals, such as PCO2 gap, have been suggested, due to their ability to predict adverse clinical outcomes and simplicity in patients achieving normal oxygen derived parameters during the early phases of resuscitation in septic shock. The PCO2 gap can be a marker of cardiac output adequacy in global metabolic conditions that are less affected by the impairment of oxygen extraction capacity (Bitar et al. 2020).
