Target value of mean arterial pressure in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy due to acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) due to acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently have instability in mean arterial pressure (MAP), no consensus exists on the target value of MAP related to high mortality after CRRT.

Methods

A total of 2,292 patients who underwent CRRT due to AKI in three referral hospitals were retrospectively reviewed. The MAPs were divided into tertiles, and the 3^rd tertile group served as a reference in the analyses. The major outcome was all-cause mortality during the intensive care unit period. The odds ratio (OR) of mortality was calculated using logistic regression after adjustment for multiple covariates. The nonlinear relationship regression model was applied to determine the threshold value of MAP related to increasing mortality.

Results

The mean value of MAP was 80.7 ± 17.3 mmHg at the time of CRRT initiation. The median intensive care unit stay was 5 days (interquartile range, 2-12 days), and during this time, 1,227 (55.5%) patients died. The 1^st tertile group of MAP showed an elevated risk of mortality compared with the 3^rd tertile group (adjusted OR, 1.28 [1.03-1.60]; P = 0.029). In the nonlinear regression analysis, the threshold value of MAP was calculated as 82.7 mmHg. Patients with MAP < 82.7 mmHg had a higher mortality rate than those with ≥ 82.7 mmHg (adjusted OR, 1.21 [1.01-1.45]; P = 0.037).

Conclusions

Low MAP at CRRT initiation is associated with a high risk of mortality, particularly when it is < 82.7 mmHg. This value may be used for risk classification and as a potential therapeutic target.

Project description:AimsIn recent decades, haemodynamic parameters have been estimated for risk stratification and determining treatment strategies for patients with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). In various invasive procedures, the cardiac pumping capability is defined as cardiac power output (CPO), which is calculated by multiplying cardiac output by the mean arterial pressure. Lower CPO values in advanced heart failure predict adverse outcomes. However, few studies discuss the prognostic value of CPO in mild-to-moderate phase patients. This study aimed to determine the value of the cardiac power index (CPI) obtained from the resting CPO for predicting the prognosis of patients with New York Heart Association Functional Class II or III DCM.Methods and resultsFrom March 2000 to January 2020, a total of 623 cardiomyopathy patients were evaluated for haemodynamic parameters. Patients with secondary cardiomyopathy, ischaemic cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, and Class IV cardiomyopathy were excluded. A total of 176 DCM patients fulfilled the criteria for inclusion. Patients were 51.7 ± 12.5 years old (mean ± standard deviation) with a mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 32.1 ± 9.2%. The patients were divided into two groups by their median CPI (CPI < 0.52, low-CPI; CPI ≥ 0.52, high-CPI). No significant differences were found in the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction, or pulmonary arterial wedge pressure between the groups. The probability of cardiac event-free survival was significantly lower for low-CPI than for high-CPI groups by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P = 0.012), even with no significant difference between the high and low cardiac index groups (P = 0.069). Furthermore, Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that, in addition to the CPI, the systolic and mean arterial pressure involved in CPI calculation were independent predictors of cardiac events. Indeed, among these factors, mean arterial pressure had the strongest prognostic ability.ConclusionsAlthough CPI is effective for stratifying DCM and predicting cardiac events in patients with Class II/III DCM, this prognostic value depends on mean arterial pressure.

Project description:IntroductionThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) targets on needs for resuscitation, organ dysfunction, mitochondrial respiration and inflammatory response in a long-term model of fecal peritonitis.MethodsTwenty-four anesthetized and mechanically ventilated pigs were randomly assigned (n = 8/group) to a septic control group (septic-CG) without resuscitation until death or one of two groups with resuscitation performed after 12 hours of untreated sepsis for 48 hours, targeting MAP 50-60 mmHg (low-MAP) or 75-85 mmHg (high-MAP).ResultsMAP at the end of resuscitation was 56 ± 13 mmHg (mean ± SD) and 76 ± 17 mmHg respectively, for low-MAP and high-MAP groups. One animal each in high- and low-MAP groups, and all animals in septic-CG died (median survival time: 21.8 hours, inter-quartile range: 16.3-27.5 hours). Norepinephrine was administered to all animals of the high-MAP group (0.38 (0.21-0.56) mcg/kg/min), and to three animals of the low-MAP group (0.00 (0.00-0.25) mcg/kg/min; P = 0.009). The high-MAP group had a more positive fluid balance (3.3 ± 1.0 mL/kg/h vs. 2.3 ± 0.7 mL/kg/h; P = 0.001). Inflammatory markers, skeletal muscle ATP content and hemodynamics other than MAP did not differ between low- and high-MAP groups. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after 12 hours of untreated sepsis was, respectively for low- and high-MAP groups, 50% (4/8) and 38% (3/8), and in the end of the study 57% (4/7) and 0% (P = 0.026). In septic-CG, maximal isolated skeletal muscle mitochondrial Complex I, State 3 respiration increased from 1357 ± 149 pmol/s/mg to 1822 ± 385 pmol/s/mg, (P = 0.020). In high- and low-MAP groups, permeabilized skeletal muscle fibers Complex IV-state 3 respiration increased during resuscitation (P = 0.003).ConclusionsThe MAP targets during resuscitation did not alter the inflammatory response, nor affected skeletal muscle ATP content and mitochondrial respiration. While targeting a lower MAP was associated with increased incidence of AKI, targeting a higher MAP resulted in increased net positive fluid balance and vasopressor load during resuscitation. The long-term effects of different MAP targets need to be evaluated in further studies.
