Prognostic value and agreement of achieving lactate clearance or central venous oxygen saturation goals during early sepsis resuscitation.

ABSTRACT: Lactate clearance (LC) and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO(2)) have been proposed as goals of early sepsis resuscitation. The authors sought to determine the agreement and prognostic value of achieving ScvO(2) or LC goals in septic shock patients undergoing emergency department (ED)-based early resuscitation.This was a preplanned analysis of a multicenter ED randomized controlled trial of early sepsis resuscitation targeting three variables: central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, and either ScvO(2) or LC. Inclusion criteria included suspected infection, two or more systemic inflammation criteria, and either systolic blood pressure of <90 mm Hg after intravenous fluid bolus or lactate level of >4 mmol/L. Both ScvO(2) and LC were measured simultaneously. The ScvO(2) goal was defined as ?70%. Lactate was measured at enrollment and every 2 hours until the goal was reached or up to 6 hours. LC goal was defined as a decrease of ?10% from initial measurement. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.A total of 203 subjects were included, with an overall mortality of 19.7%. Achievement of the ScvO(2) goal only was associated with a mortality rate of 41% (9/22), while achievement of the LC goal only was associated with a mortality rate of 8% (2/25; proportion difference = 33%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 9% to 55%). No agreement was found between goal achievement (? = -0.02), and exact test for matched pairs demonstrated no significant difference between discordant pairs (p = 0.78).No agreement was found between LC and ScvO(2) goal achievement in early sepsis resuscitation. Achievement of a ScvO(2) ? 70% without LC ? 10% was more strongly associated with mortality than achievement of LC ? 10% with failure to achieve ScvO(2) ? 70%.

Project description:ContextGoal-directed resuscitation for severe sepsis and septic shock has been reported to reduce mortality when applied in the emergency department.ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis of noninferiority between lactate clearance and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) as goals of early sepsis resuscitation.Design, setting, and patientsMulticenter randomized, noninferiority trial involving patients with severe sepsis and evidence of hypoperfusion or septic shock who were admitted to the emergency department from January 2007 to January 2009 at 1 of 3 participating US urban hospitals.InterventionsWe randomly assigned patients to 1 of 2 resuscitation protocols. The ScvO2 group was resuscitated to normalize central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, and ScvO2 of at least 70%; and the lactate clearance group was resuscitated to normalize central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, and lactate clearance of at least 10%. The study protocol was continued until all goals were achieved or for up to 6 hours. Clinicians who subsequently assumed the care of the patients were blinded to the treatment assignment.Main outcome measureThe primary outcome was absolute in-hospital mortality rate; the noninferiority threshold was set at Delta equal to -10%.ResultsOf the 300 patients enrolled, 150 were assigned to each group and patients were well matched by demographic, comorbidities, and physiological features. There were no differences in treatments administered during the initial 72 hours of hospitalization. Thirty-four patients (23%) in the ScvO2 group died while in the hospital (95% confidence interval [CI], 17%-30%) compared with 25 (17%; 95% CI, 11%-24%) in the lactate clearance group. This observed difference between mortality rates did not reach the predefined -10% threshold (intent-to-treat analysis: 95% CI for the 6% difference, -3% to 15%). There were no differences in treatment-related adverse events between the groups.ConclusionAmong patients with septic shock who were treated to normalize central venous and mean arterial pressure, additional management to normalize lactate clearance compared with management to normalize ScvO2 did not result in significantly different in-hospital mortality.Trial registrationclinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00372502.

Project description:We investigated the added predictive value of lactate and lactate clearance to the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV model for predicting in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with sepsis. Design:Retrospective observational cohort study. Setting:Mixed ICU of Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands. Patients:Critically ill patients adult patients with sepsis who have been admitted to the ICU of Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands, from 2006 to January 2018. Interventions:None. Measurements and Main Results:We fitted a baseline model with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV predictors and added 13 prespecified combinations of lactate and lactate clearance at 0, 6 and 24 hours after admission to create a set of extended models to compare with the baseline Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV model. Among 603 ICU admissions, 451 patients met the inclusion criteria. A total of 160 patients died in-hospital, of which 106 died in the ICU. Their lactate and lactate clearance measurements were higher at all time points than those of survivors. The Akaike Information Criterion score improved in 10 of 13 prespecified extended models, with best performance for models that included lactate at 24 hours, alone or in combination with lactate at admission or lactate clearance at 24 hours. We compared the observed and predicted probabilities of in-hospital mortality of the baseline Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV model with the best model in our data, lactate at 24 hours added to the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV model. This resulted in an increase in specificity of 29.9% (95% CI, 18.9-40.9%). Conclusions:Lactate measurements at 24 hours after admission add predictive value to the prediction of mortality with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV among ICU patients with sepsis. External validation is needed to develop extended prediction models.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Capillary blood lactate testing with handheld analysers has great advantages to reduce the time needed for clinical decisions, and for extended use in the prehospital setting. We investigated the agreement of capillary lactate measured using handheld analysers (CL-Nova and CL-Scout+ measured by Nova and Lactate Scout+ analyzers) and the reference venous level assessed using a point-of-care testing (POCT) blood gas analyser (VL-Ref). DESIGN:A prospective observational study. SETTING:A university teaching hospital emergency department in Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS:Patients triaged as 'urgent' (Category 3 of a 5-point scale), aged ?18 years during 2016 were eligible. 240 patients (mean age 69.9 years) were recruited. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES:The primary outcome measure was the agreement of the capillary blood lactate level measured by handheld lactate analyser when compared with the reference standard technique, namely venous blood samples obtained by venepuncture and analysed using the blood gas analyser. The secondary outcome measure was the difference in values of venous lactate using blood gas analysers and handheld lactate analysers. RESULTS:The results of VL-Ref ranged from 0.70 to 5.38?mmol/L (mean of 1.96?mmol/L). Regarding capillary lactate measurements, the bias (mean difference) between VL-Ref and CL-Scout+ was -0.22 with 95% limits of agreement (LOA) of -2.17 to 1.73?mmol/L and the bias between VL-Ref and CL-Nova was 0.46, with LOA of -1.08 to 2.00?mmol/L. For venous lactate, results showed the bias between VL-Ref and VL-Scout+ was 0.22 with LOA being -0.46 to 0.90?mmol/L, and the bias between VL-Ref and VL-Nova was 0.83?mmol/L with LOA -0.01 to 1.66?mmol/L. CONCLUSION:Our study shows poor agreement between capillary lactate and reference values. The study does not support the clinical utility of capillary lactate POCT. However, venous lactate measured by Scout+ handheld analyser may have potential for screening patients who may need further testing. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:NCT02694887.

Project description:Background: Some septic shock patients have persistent hyperlactacidemia despite a normal systemic hemodynamics after resuscitation. Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and central venous pressure (CVP) cannot be target in subsequent hemodynamic treatments. Vasoplegia is considered to be one of the main causes of oxygen metabolism abnormalities in septic shock patients, and norepinephrine (NE) is the first-line vasopressor in septic shock treatment; its dosage represents the severity of vasoplegia. This study was performed to determine whether vasoplegia, as assessed by NE dosage, can indicate patients' lactate clearance after the completion of resuscitation. Methods: A retrospective study was performed, and 106 patients with septic shock in an intensive care unit were analyzed. Laboratory values and hemodynamic variables were obtained upon completion of resuscitation (H 0) and 6 h after (H 6). Lactate clearance was defined as the percent decrease in lactate from H 0 to H 6. Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests, logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed for statistical analysis. Results: Patients with a mean age of 63.7 ± 13.8 years, baseline APACHE II score of 21.0 ± 5.1, and SOFA score of 12.7 ± 2.7 were enrolled. The study found that after 6-h of resuscitation, lactate clearance (LC) was <10% in 33 patients (31.1%). Patients with 6-h LC <10% compared with 6-h LC ≥ 10% had a higher NE dose (μg·kg-1·min-1) (0.55 [0.36-0.84] vs. 0.25 [0.18-0.41], p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of statistically significant univariate variables showed that NE dose had a significant inverse relationship with 6-h LC < 10%. The cutoff for NE was ≥ 0.32 μg·kg-1·min-1 for predicting 6-h lactate clearance after resuscitation, with a sensitivity of 75.76% and a specificity of 70.00%. Septic shock patients with an NE dose ≥ 0.32 μg·kg-1·min-1, relative to patients with an NE dose < 0.32 μg·kg-1·min-1, had a greater 30-day mortality rate (69.8% vs. 26.4% p < 0.001). Conclusion: Some patients with septic shock had persistent oxygen metabolism disorders after hemodynamic resuscitation. NE dose may indicate vasoplegia and oxygen metabolism disorder. After resuscitation, septic shock patients with high-dose NE have lower lactate clearance and a greater 30-day mortality rate than those with low-dose NE.

Project description:BackgroundSerum lactate and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) are commonly used and commonly recommended as markers of tissue oxygenation in shock states. Medical literature has both explicitly stated and implied that the two biomarkers are interchangeable in the management of patients with shock. However, there have been relatively few direct comparisons of these tests in clinical circumstances, and the relationship between them is uncertain. The objective of our study was to evaluate whether simultaneous or near-simultaneous measurements of lactate and ScvO2 reveal a consistent relationship between these two biomarkers.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted in an urban, academic US hospital. All adults in ICUs between March 2007 and March 2017 who had a lactate measurement and ScvO2 or mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) measurement made +/- 1 h from the lactate were included. Linear and non-linear correlations of ScvO2 and lactate were assessed in a variety of shock states.ResultsTwo thousand sixty-two patients were included. Lactate and ScvO2 correlated poorly (r 2 = 0.0041, p = 0.0019). This was true for patients with ScvO2 ≤ 65% (r 2 = 0.0431, p < 0.001), patients with normal kidney and liver function (r 2 = 0.0517, p < 0.001), and septic shock patients (r 2 = 0.0037, p = 0.17). For patients with an O2 extraction ratio ≥ 50%, lactate and ScvO2 were strongly correlated (r 2 = 0.93, p = 0.0019), but these patients represented only 2.8% of patients in whom the ratio could be calculated.ConclusionsLactate can predict ScvO2 when patients are at or below the critical oxygen delivery threshold, but relatively few shock patients meet this criterion. In the overall population of critically ill patients, serum lactate predicts ScvO2 poorly, even after controlling for factors that may affect lactate production. Lactate and ScvO2 should not be assumed to be interchangeable markers of tissue oxygenation/perfusion.
