Early hemodynamic resuscitation in septic shock: understanding and modifying oxygen delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a previous issue of Critical Care, researchers have focused on the venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (Pv-aCO2) as a surrogate marker for systemic perfusion in patients with septic shock. Although the complex mechanisms responsible for an increased Pv-aCO2 in septic shock need to be further unraveled, the potential prognostic value of Pv-aCO2 seems clinically relevant and useful in daily practice in view of its easy availability.

Fluid therapy for septic shock resuscitation: which fluid should be used?
Early resuscitation of septic shock patients reduces the sepsis-related morbidity and mortality. The main goals of septic shock resuscitation include volemic expansion, maintenance of adequate tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery, guided by central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, mixed or central venous oxygen saturation and arterial lactate levels. An aggressive fluid resuscitation, p...

Severe sepsis and septic shock represent a major healthcare challenge. Much of the improvement in mortality associated with septic shock is related to early recognition combined with timely fluid resuscitation and adequate antibiotics administration. The main goals of septic shock resuscitation include intravascular replenishment, maintenance of adequate perfusion pressure and oxygen delivery t...

Cumulative evidence from studies of severe sepsis and septic shock has confirmed the importance to patient survival of timely oxygen augmentation targeted at specific goals related to oxygen delivery to the tissues. This work describes the evolution of our understanding of the pathophysiology of septic shock and the integration at our center of the guidelines of the American College of Critical...
متن کاملOxygen tissue saturation is lower in nonsurvivors than in survivors after early resuscitation of septic shock.
BACKGROUND Growing evidence suggests that the microvascular dysfunction is the key element of the pathogenesis of septic shock. This study's purpose was to explore whether the outcome of septic shock patients after early resuscitation using early goal-directed therapy is related to their muscle tissue oxygenation. METHODS Tissue oxygen saturation (Sto2) was monitored in septic shock patients ...

The Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines for the management of severe sepsis and septic shock recommend that the initial hemodynamic resuscitation be done according to the protocol used by Rivers and colleagues in their well-known early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) study. However, it may well be that their patients were much sicker on admission than many other septic patients. Compared with oth...
