Absence of high red blood cell velocity in the sublingual microcirculation of patients with hyerdynamic septic shock

چکیده
Methods We evaluated the sublingual microcirculation of patients with hyperdynamic (n = 20) and normodynamic (n = 20) septic shock, and in healthy volunteers (n = 20). We defined hyperdynamic septic shock as a cardiac index > 4.0 L/min/m. Videos were acquired with a SDF-imaging device and analyzed with the AVA 3.0 software. Microvascular variables were compared with one-way ANOVA. Histograms of RBC velocities were built.

Dissociation between sublingual and gut microcirculation in the response to a fluid challenge in postoperative patients with abdominal sepsis
BACKGROUND This study was performed to compare intestinal and sublingual microcirculation and their response to a fluid challenge. METHODS Twenty-two septic patients in the first postoperative day of an intestinal surgery, in which an ostomy had been constructed, were evaluated both before and 20 min after a challenge of 10 mL/kg of 6% hydroxyethylstarch 130/0.4. We measured systemic hemodyna...
متن کاملSublingual 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...
متن کاملArterial blood pressure targets in septic shock: is it time to move to an individualized approach?
Xu and colleagues evaluated the impact of increasing mean arterial blood pressure levels through norepinephrine administration on systemic hemodynamics, tissue perfusion, and sublingual microcirculation of septic shock patients with chronic hypertension. The authors concluded that, although increasing arterial blood pressure improved sublingual microcirculation parameters, no concomitant improv...
متن کاملProtein C preserves microcirculation in a model of neonatal septic shock
OBJECTIVES Sepsis remains a disease with a high mortality in neonates. Microcirculatory impairment plays a pivotal role in the development of multiorgan failure in septic newborns. The hemodynamic effects of recombinant activated protein C (rhAPC) were tested in an animal model of neonatal septic shock focusing on intestinal microcirculation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Endotoxic shock was triggere...
متن کاملEffects of High Volume Haemodiafiltration on Inflammatory Response Profile and Microcirculation in Patients with Septic Shock
BACKGROUND High volumes of haemofiltration are used in septic patients to control systemic inflammation and improve patient outcomes. We aimed to clarify if extended intermittent high volume online haemodiafiltration (HVHDF) influences patient haemodynamics and cytokines profile and/or has effect upon sublingual microcirculation in critically ill septic shock patients. METHODS Main haemodynam...
