Targeting skeletal muscle tissue oxygenation (StO2) in adults with severe sepsis and septic shock: a randomised controlled trial (OTO-StS Study).

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Evaluation of the ratio of oxyhaemoglobin to total haemoglobin in skeletal muscle (StO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy may aid in the monitoring of patients with sepsis. This study assessed the benefits and risks of targeting StO2 in adults with severe sepsis or septic shock. DESIGN:A European randomised controlled trial was performed on two parallel groups. SETTING:Five intensive care units (ICU) in France, Greece, Spain and Germany were used for the study. PARTICIPANTS:A total of 103 adults with severe sepsis or septic shock on ICU admission were randomised (54 subjects in the experimental arm and 49 subjects in the control arm). INTERVENTIONS:Haemodynamic management using an algorithm that was adapted from the 2004 Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines with (experimental arm) or without (control arm) targeting an StO2 value greater than 80% at a minimum of two different sites. OUTCOMES:The primary outcome was a composite: 7-day all-cause mortality or worsening of organ function, defined as a positive difference in Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score between day 7 and randomisation (ie, delta SOFA >0). Secondary endpoints: 30-day mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation and vasopressor therapy up to 30 days from randomisation. RESULTS:The study ended prematurely due to lack of funding after enrolment of 103/190 patients. Eighteen patients (33.3%) in the experimental arm and 14 (28.6%, P=0.67) in the control arm died or exhibited delta SOFA >0 on day 7. The mean number of days on mechanical ventilation was 12.2±10.6 in the experimental group and 7.6±7.9 in the control group (P=0.03). Thirty-one (57%) patients in the experimental arm and 14 (29%) patients in the control arm received red cells by day 7 (P=0.01). CONCLUSION:Despite the limitation related to premature termination, this study provides no data to support the routine implementation of resuscitation protocols incorporating StO2 >80% at two or more muscle sites as a target. StO2-guided therapy may be associated with prolonged use of mechanical ventilation and an increased number of red blood cell transfusions. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:NCT00167596; Results.

Project description:The role of recombinant activated protein C (aPC) during sepsis is still controversial. It showed anti-inflammatory effect and improved the microvascular perfusion in experimental models of septic shock. The present study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that recombinant aPC therapy improves the microcirculation during severe sepsis.Prospective observational study on patients admitted in a 12-beds intensive care unit of a university hospital from July 2010 to December 2011, with severe sepsis and at least two sepsis-induced organ failures occurring within 48 hours from the onset of sepsis, who received an infusion of aPC (24 mcg/kg/h for 96 hours) (aPC group). Patients with contraindications to aPC administration were also monitored (no-aPC group).At baseline (before starting aPC infusion, T0), after 24 hours (T1a), 48 hours (T1b), 72 hours (T1c) and 6 hours after the end of aPC infusion (T2), general clinical and hemodynamic parameters were collected and the sublingual microcirculation was evaluated with sidestream dark-field imaging. Total vessel density (TVD), perfused vessel density (PVD), De Backer score, microvascular flow index (MFIs), the proportion of perfused vessels (PPV) and the flow heterogeneity index (HI) were calculated for small vessels. The perfused boundary region (PBR) was measured as an index of glycocalyx damage. Variables were compared between time points and groups using non parametric or parametric statistical tests, as appropriate.In the 13 aPC patients mean arterial pressure (MAP), base excess, lactate, PaO2/FiO2 and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score significantly improved over time, while CI and ITBVI did not change. MFIs, TVD, PVD, PPV significantly increased over time and the HI decreased (p?<?0.05 in all cases), while the PBR did not change. No-aPC patients (n?=?9) did not show any change in the microcirculation over time. A positive correlation was found between MFIs and MAP. TVD, PVD and De Backer score negatively correlated with norepinephrine dose, and the SOFA score negatively correlated with MFIs, TVD and PVD.aPC significantly improves the microcirculation in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock.NCT01806428.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the prevalence of immunocompromised diagnoses among children with severe sepsis and septic shock, and to determine the association between immunocompromised diagnoses and clinical outcomes after adjustment for demographics and illness severity.DesignRetrospective multicenter cohort study.SettingEighty-three centers in the Virtual Pediatric Systems database.PatientsChildren with severe sepsis or septic shock admitted to a participating PICU between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2016.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsAcross 83 centers, we identified 10,768 PICU admissions with an International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification code for severe sepsis or septic shock; 3,021 of these patients (28%) had an immunocompromised diagnosis. To evaluate variation across centers and determine factors associated with PICU mortality, we used mixed-effect logistic regression models. Among patients without hematopoietic cell transplant, congenital immunodeficiency (adjusted odds ratio, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.24-2.92), multiple prior malignancies (adjusted odds ratio, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.15-2.99), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (adjusted odds ratio, 3.09; 95% CI, 1.91-4.98) were associated with an increased odds of PICU mortality. Among patients with prior hematopoietic cell transplant, liquid malignancy (adjusted odds ratio, 3.15; 95% CI, 2.09-4.74), congenital immunodeficiency (adjusted odds ratio, 6.94; 95% CI, 3.84-12.53), multiple prior malignancies (adjusted odds ratio, 3.54; 95% CI, 1.80-6.95), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (adjusted odds ratio, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.36-5.71) were associated with an increased odds of PICU mortality. PICU mortality varied significantly by center, and a higher mean number of sepsis patients per month in a center was associated with lower PICU mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.90-0.98). PICU resource utilization varied by immunocompromised diagnosis and history of hematopoietic cell transplant, and among survivors immunocompromised patients have shorter median PICU length of stay compared with patients without immunocompromised diagnoses (p < 0.001).ConclusionsImmunocompromised diagnoses are present in 28% of children with severe sepsis or septic shock. Multiple prior malignancies, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, congenital immunodeficiency, and hematopoietic cell transplant are independently associated with an increased odds of PICU mortality in children with severe sepsis or septic shock. Significant variation exists in PICU mortality among centers despite adjustment for immunocompromised diagnoses, known risk factors for sepsis-related mortality, and center-level sepsis volume.

Project description:Prospective studies on the incidence of VTE during severe sepsis and septic shock remain absent, hindering efficacy assessments regarding VTE prevention strategies in sepsis.We prospectively studied 113 consecutively enrolled patients in the ICU with severe sepsis and septic shock at three hospitals. All patients provided informed consent. VTE thromboprophylaxis was recorded for all patients. Patients underwent ultrasonography and were followed for VTE prior to ICU discharge. All-cause 28-day mortality was recorded. Variables from univariate analyses that were associated with VTE (including central venous catheter [CVC] insertion, age, length of stay, and mechanical ventilation) were included in a multivariable logistic regression analysis using backward stepwise elimination to determine VTE predictors.Mean APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) II score was 18.2 ± 7.0, and age was 50 ± 18 years. Despite all patients receiving guideline-recommended thromboprophylaxis, the incidence of VTE was 37.2% (95% CI, 28.3-46.8). Most VTE events were clinically significant (defined as pulmonary embolism, proximal DVT, and/or symptomatic distal DVT) and associated with an increased length of stay (18.2 ± 9.9 days vs 13.4 ± 11.5 days, P < .05). Mortality was higher in patients with acute VTE but did not reach statistical significance. Insertion of a CVC and longer mechanical ventilation duration were significant VTE risk factors. VTE incidence did not differ by thromboprophylaxis type.To our knowledge this is the first multicenter prospective study to identify a high incidence of VTE in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, despite the use of universal, guideline-recommended thromboprophylaxis. Our findings suggest that the systemic inflammatory milieu of sepsis may uniquely predispose patients with sepsis to VTE. More effective VTE prevention strategies are necessary in patients with sepsis.ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT02353910; URL: www.clinicaltrials.gov.
