چکیده
BACKGROUND Myocardial dysfunction is a complication associated with a poor prognosis in septic patients. A biomarker of cardiac function providing prognostic information is of paramount interest. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the value of B-type natriuretic peptide in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock. METHODS We performed a prospective study in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock in a medical intensive care unit. B-type natriuretic peptide level was determined within 24 hours after the diagnosis of severe sepsis/septic shock. We also analyzed mortality, and presence of association between B-type natriuretic peptide and clinical, hemodynamic and respiratory variables. RESULTS 23 (9 women; 14 men) patients with ages ranging from 20-79 (mean 51.3+/-18.6) years old and APACHE score of 22.6+/-11.8 were included; 15 (65.2%) patients received pulmonary artery catheters, and 20 (87%) were mechanically ventilated. Multivariate analysis disclosed inverse association between B-type natriuretic peptide values with positive end-expiratory pressure values, and direct association with creatinine (beta 0.548 and 0.377, p 0.02 and 0.002, respectively), but not with mortality, clinical and hemodynamic parameters. CONCLUSION This is the first report on an inverse association between positive end-expiratory pressure and BNP levels in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. BNP and creatinine levels should be taken into consideration when analyzing B-type natriuretic peptide levels in this setting.

Clinical utility of B-type natriuretic peptide in early severe sepsis and septic shock.
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic utility in critically ill patients. For severe sepsis and septic shock patients in particular, similar clinical utility from the most proximal aspects of hospital presentation to the intensive care unit has not been examined. BNP levels were measured at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours in 252 patients presenti...
متن کاملNew insights into the mechanisms involved in B-type natriuretic peptide elevation and its prognostic value in septic patients
INTRODUCTION Elevated plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in patients with critical sepsis (severe sepsis and septic shock) may indicate septic cardiomyopathy. However, multiple heterogeneous conditions may also be involved in increased BNP level. In addition, the prognostic value of BNP in sepsis remains debatable. In this study, we sought to discover potential independent determina...

Sepsis is the systemic response to severe infection in critically ill patients. Sepsis, septic syndrome & septic shock represent the increasingly severe stages of the same disease. Despite the remarkable improvements in outcome, sepsis & septic shock remain an important cause of morbidity & mortality in children. This is a retrospective study among the patients who were admitted in the pediatri...

The mortality rate among patients suffering acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains high despite implementation at clinical centers of the lung protective ventilatory strategies recommended by the International Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock, 2012. This suggests that such strategies are still sub-optimal for some ARDS patients. For these patients, tailore...

BACKGROUND To establish the prognostic and discriminative value of the pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) level in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. PATIENTS AND METHODS An observational and prospective study was conducted on 50 critically ill patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.
