Hemodynamic optimization of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sepsis is associated with cardiovascular changes that may lead to development of tissue hypoperfusion. Early recognition of sepsis and tissue hypoperfusion is critical to implement appropriate hemodynamic support and prevent irreversible organ damage. End points for resuscitation need to be defined and invasive hemodynamic monitoring is usually required. Targets for hemodynamic optimization should include intravascular volume, blood pressure, and cardiac output. Therapeutic interventions aimed at optimizing hemodynamics in patients with sepsis include aggressive fluid resuscitation, the use of vasopressor agents, inotropic agents and in selected cases transfusions of blood products. This review will cover the most important aspects of hemodynamic optimization for treatment of sepsis induced tissue-hypoperfusion.

متن کاملShould microcirculation monitoring be used to guide fluid resuscitation in severe sepsis and septic shock?
Tissue hypoperfusion and subsequent limited oxygen transport are critical features conducting to organ failure during shock states. Therefore, early identification of tissue hypoperfusion and adequate resuscitation are key for improving the probability of survival after septic shock.(1,2) However, how to identify organ perfusion abnormalities at the bedside and select the type and amount of flu...
متن کاملGuidelines for treatment of severe sepsis/septic shock: tissue perfusion assessment.
Sepsis is a very frequent condition and causes high mortality rates and healthcare costs; it is the main cause of death in intensive care units. Clear, improved prognosis was shown for early diagnosed and treated patients. Treatment guidelines are fundamental for appropriate therapy. It is clear that hypoperfusion patients should be hemodynamically optimized; therefore, recognition of hypoperfu...
متن کاملHow to choose the therapeutic goals to improve tissue perfusion in septic shock
The early recognition and treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock is the key to a successful outcome. The longer the delay in starting treatment, the worse the prognosis due to persistent tissue hypoperfusion and consequent development and worsening of organ dysfunction. One of the main mechanisms responsible for the development of cellular dysfunction is tissue hypoxia. The adjustments nec...
متن کاملSepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion.
The understanding of sepsis is continuously evolving. An overview of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion has been provided herein. It is of critical importance that the clinician understands the pathophysiology of this emergent condition and is able to synthesize the available data in a rapid fashion so that tissue hypoperfusion is readily detected. Once detected, aggressive and endpoint-direct...
