Contribution of the Pre-Hospital Blood Lactate Level in the Pre-Hospital Orientation of Septic Shock: The LAPHSUS Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective:In the pre-hospital setting, the assessment of septic shock severity is essential when determining the optimal initial in-hospital level of care. As clinical signs can be faulted, there is a need for an additional component to enhance the severity assessment and to decide on in-hospital admission in the intensive care unit (ICU) or in the emergency department (ED). Point-of-care medical devices by yielding blood lactate value since the pre-hospital setting may give an easy and valuable component for the severity assessment and decision-making. The aim of this study is to provide clinical evidence that the pre-hospital blood lactate level predicts the 30-day mortality in patients with septic shock. Methods:This trial is a prospective, observational, non-randomised controlled study. A total of 1,000 patients requiring a mobile ICU intervention for septic shock in the pre-hospital setting will be included. Pre-hospital blood lactate levels will not be taken into account to decide patients' treatments and/or ED or ICU admission. In the pre-hospital setting, each patient will benefit from two measurements of the blood lactate level: initial measurement at the first contact, and final measurement at the hospital admission with a specific point-of-care medical device. Conclusion:This study could provide clinical evidence that the pre-hospital blood lactate level predicts the 30-day mortality of patients with septic shock. The results from this study could also prove the utility of the pre-hospital blood lactate level for the triage and early orientation of patients with septic shock.

Project description:ObjectivesMottling score is estimated from 0-5 according to mottling over the knee and described as clinical evaluation of tissue perfusion. This score was developed with ancient definitions of sepsis without lactate level, a major prognostic parameter when superior to 2 mmol/L. This study describes mottling incidence and mottling score in septic shock patients according to lactate level.Materials and methodsWe reanalyzed our prospective study in a French tertiary hospital in the intensive care unit (ICU) which studied mottling score and thermography correlation. Patients admitted to septic shock diagnosis and requiring vasoactive drugs were included. We recorded hemodynamic variables, mottling score, and lactate. Data collection was realized at ICU admission (H0) and after six hours (H6).ResultsForty-three patients were included. Mean age was 67 (±4), mean sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score was 11 (8-12), and SAPS II 58 ±20. Mortality rate at day 28 was 30%. Among patients with lactate ≥2 mmol/L, mottling was more prevalent in 82.6% vs 47.4% (p value = 0.016), and at H6 mottling score was higher (p value = 0.009). Although, mottling incidence was not different between dead (85%) and survivors (81%; p value = 0.795).ConclusionA new sepsis definition implies a new epidemiology in mottling according to lactate threshold. Patients with lactate ≥2 mmol/L presented a higher incidence and score of mottling. However, mortality was not influenced by mottling in this study.Clinical significanceArterial lactate is a major prognostic parameter when superior to 2 mmol/L.A new definition of sepsis was published in 2016 with a new paradigm and epidemiology of septic shockPatients with lactate ≥2 mmol/L presented a higher incidence and score of mottling.Mottling score is a clinical sign of microcirculatory alteration, related to lactate level in septic shock.How to cite this articleFerraris A, Bouisse C, Thiollière F, Piriou V, Allaouchiche B.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Assessment of disease severity in patients with septic shock (SS) is crucial in determining optimal level of care. In both pre- and in-hospital settings, the clinical picture alone is not sufficient for assessing disease severity and outcomes. Because blood lactate level is included in the clinical criteria of SS it should be considered to improve the assessment of its severity. This study aims to investigate the relationship between pre-hospital blood lactate level and 30-day mortality in patients with SS. METHODS:From 15 April 2017 to 15 April 2019, patients with SS requiring pre-hospital Mobile Intensive Care Unit intervention (MICU) were prospectively included in the LAPHSUS study, an observational, non-randomized controlled study. Pre-hospital blood lactate levels were measured at the time of first contact between the patients and the MICU. RESULTS:Among the 183 patients with septic shock requiring action by the MICU drawn at random from LAPHSUS study patients, six (3%) were lost to follow-up on the 30th day and thus 177 (97%) were analyzed for blood lactate levels (mean age 70 ± 14 years). Pulmonary, urinary and digestive infections were probably the cause of the SS in respectively 58%, 21% and 11% of the cases. The 30-day overall mortality was 32%. Mean pre-hospital lactatemia was significantly different between patients who died and those who survived (respectively 7.1 ± 4.0 mmol/L vs. 5.9 ± 3.5 mmol/L, p < 10-3). Using Cox regression analysis adjusted for potential confounders we showed that a pre-hospital blood lactate level ? 4 mmol/L significantly predicted 30-day mortality in patients with SS (adjusted hazard ratio = 2.37, 95%CI (1.01-5.57), p = 0.04). CONCLUSION:In this study, we showed that pre-hospital lactatemia predicts 30-day mortality in patients with septic shock handled by the MICU. Further studies will be needed to evaluate if pre-hospital lactatemia alone or combined with clinical scores could affect the triage decision-making process for those patients.

Project description:Lactate clearance is affected by hepatic function. However, it is unclear whether the association between hepatic dysfunction and lactate clearance can act as a prognostic marker of clinical outcomes in patients with septic shock. We aimed to evaluate the association between lactate clearance and mortality in two cohorts of septic shock patient who had hepatic dysfunction based on their total serum bilirubin levels (TBIL). Lactate clearance at 24 h after the onset of septic shock was analyzed using two cohorts, sub-categorized into two groups based on TBIL: < 2 mg/dL and ≥ 2 mg/dL. In the derivation cohort, lactate clearance was lower in non-survivors than in survivors with TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL, while there was no significant difference in lactate clearance between non-survivors and survivors with TBIL < 2 mg/dL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that increased lactate clearance was significantly associated with decreased 28-day mortality in the TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL group (10% lactate clearance, adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.88, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.80-0.97, P = 0.0075), Creatinine level ≥ 2 mg/dL group (adjusted OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.95, P = 0.00069) and APACHE II score ≥ 35 group (adjusted OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.87-0.98, P = 0.013). In the validation cohort, lactate clearance was lower in non-survivors than in survivors with TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL, while no significant difference in lactate clearance was observed between non-survivors and survivors with TBIL < 2 mg/dL. Increased lactate clearance was significantly associated with decreased 28-day mortality in the TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL group (10% lactate clearance, adjusted OR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.83-0.96, P = 0.0038) and the association was just about significant in APACHE II score ≥ 35 group (adjusted OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.74-1.00, P = 0.051). In conclusion, increased lactate clearance in septic shock patients with hepatic dysfunction (TBIL ≥ 2 mg/dL) or high severity (APACHE II score ≥ 35) was associated with decreased 28-day mortality.
