چکیده

The Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines suggest targeting a mean arterial pressure of at least 65 mm Hg to maintain organ perfusion pressure during septic shock. However, the optimal mean arterial pressure can be higher in patients with a history of hypertension or other vascular comorbidities or in those with increased abdominal pressure. In a given individual, the adequate mean arterial pressure target can be difficult to define with the routine hemodynamic parameters (for example, cardiac output, central or mixed venous blood oxygen saturation, and urine output). Near-infrared spectroscopy and sidestream dark field imaging have emerged as promising technologies for monitoring the microcirculation at the bedside. These new methods could provide additional clues to help define the adequate blood pressure to target during the resuscitation phase of septic shock.

INTRODUCTION The effect of mean arterial pressure titration to a higher level on microcirculation in septic shock patients with previous hypertension remains unknown. Our goal is to assess the effect of mean arterial pressure titration to a higher level on microcirculation in hypertensive septic shock patients. METHODS This is a single-center, open-label study. Hypertensive patients with sept...

Should 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...

Sublingual microcirculatory changes during high-volume hemofiltration in hyperdynamic septic shock patients

INTRODUCTION Previous studies have suggested that high volume hemofiltration (HVHF) may contribute to revert hypotension in severe hyperdynamic septic shock patients. However, arterial pressure stabilization occurs due to an increase in systemic vascular resistance, which could eventually compromise microcirculatory blood flow and perfusion. The goal of this study was to determine if HVHF deter...

INTRODUCTION Our goal was to assess the effects of titration of a norepinephrine infusion to increasing levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP) on sublingual microcirculation. METHODS Twenty septic shock patients were prospectively studied in two teaching intensive care units. The patients were mechanically ventilated and required norepinephrine to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65...
