Hyperoxia toxicity in septic shock patients according to the Sepsis-3 criteria: a post hoc analysis of the HYPER2S trial.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Criteria for the Sepsis-3 definition of septic shock include vasopressor treatment to maintain a mean arterial pressure?>?65 mmHg and a lactate concentration?>?2 mmol/L. The impact of hyperoxia in patients with septic shock using these criteria is unknown. METHODS:A post hoc analysis was performed of the HYPER2S trial assessing hyperoxia versus normoxia in septic patients requiring vasopressor therapy, in whom a plasma lactate value was available at study inclusion. Mortality was compared between patients fulfilling the Sepsis-3 septic shock criteria and patients requiring vasopressors for hypotension only (i.e., with lactate???2 mmol/L). RESULTS:Of the 434 patients enrolled, 397 had available data for lactate at inclusion. 230 had lactate?>?2 mmol/L and 167???2 mmol/L. Among patients with lactate?>?2 mmol/L, 108 and 122 were "hyperoxia"- and "normoxia"-treated, respectively. Patients with lactate?>?2 mmol/L had significantly less COPD more cirrhosis and required surgery more frequently. They also had higher illness severity (SOFA 10.6?±?2.8 vs. 9.5?±?2.5, p?=?0.0001), required more renal replacement therapy (RRT), and received vasopressor and mechanical ventilation for longer time. Mortality rate at day 28 was higher in the "hyperoxia"-treated patients with lactate?>?2 mmol/L as compared to "normoxia"-treated patients (57.4% vs. 44.3%, p = 0.054), despite similar RRT requirements as well as vasopressor and mechanical ventilation-free days. A multivariate analysis showed an independent association between hyperoxia and mortality at day 28 and 90. In patients with lactate???2 mmol/L, hyperoxia had no effect on mortality nor on other outcomes. CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest that hyperoxia may be associated with a higher mortality rate in patients with septic shock using the Sepsis-3 criteria, but not in patients with hypotension alone.
