Association Between the Acidemia, Lactic Acidosis, and Shock Severity With Outcomes in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock.

ABSTRACT: Background Lactic acidosis is associated with mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). Elevated lactate levels and systemic acidemia (low blood pH) have both been proposed as drivers of death. We, therefore, analyzed the association of both high lactate concentrations and low blood pH with 30-day mortality in patients with CS. Methods and Results This was a 2-center historical cohort study of unselected patients with CS with available data for admission lactate level or blood pH. CS severity was graded using the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention (SCAI) shock classification. All-cause survival at 30 days was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional-hazards analysis. There were 1814 patients with CS (mean age, 67.3 years; 68.5% men); 51.8% had myocardial infarction and 53.0% had cardiac arrest. The distribution of SCAI shock stages was B, 10.8%; C, 30.7%; D, 38.1%; and E, 18.7%. In both cohorts, higher lactate or lower pH predicted a higher risk of adjusted 30-day mortality. Patients with a lactate ≥5 mmol/L or pH <7.2 were at increased risk of adjusted 30-day mortality; patients with both lactate ≥5 mmol/L and pH <7.2 had the highest risk of adjusted 30-day mortality. Patients in SCAI shock stages C, D, and E had higher 30-day mortality in each SCAI shock stage if they had lactate ≥5 mmol/L or pH <7.2, particularly if they met both criteria. Conclusions Higher lactate and lower pH predict mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock beyond standard measures of shock severity. Severe lactic acidosis may serve as a risk modifier for the SCAI shock classification. Definitions of refractory or hemometabolic shock should include high lactate levels and low blood pH.

Project description:BackgroundThe relationship between hyperlactatemia and prognosis after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is controversial, and some studies ignore the presence of lactic acidosis in patients with severe hyperlactacemia. This study explored the association between lactic acidosis (LA) and the occurrence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) after cardiopulmonary bypass.MethodsThis study was a post hoc analysis of patients who underwent cardiac surgery between February 2017 and August 2018 and participated in a prospective study at Taizhou Hospital. The data were collected at: ICU admission (H0), and 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h after admission. Blood lactate levels gradually increased after CPB, peaking at H8 and then gradually decreasing. The patients were grouped as LA, hyperlactatemia (HL), and normal control (NC) based on blood test results 8 h after ICU admission. Basic preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative conditions were compared between the three groups, as well as postoperative perfusion and oxygen metabolism indexes.ResultsThere were 22 (19%), 73 (64%), and 19 (17%) patients in the LA, HL, and NC groups, respectively. APACHE II (24h) and SOFA (24h) scores were the highest in the LA group (P < 0.05). ICU stay duration was the longest for the LA group (48.5 (42.5, 50) h), compared with the HL (27 (22, 48) h) and NC (27 (25, 46) h) groups (P = 0.012). The LA group had the highest incidence of MODS (36%), compared with the HL (14%) and NC (5%) groups (P = 0.015). In the LA group, the oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) was lower (21.5 (17.05, 32.8)%) than in the HL (31.3 (24.8, 37.6)%) and the NC group (31.3 (29.0, 35.4) %) (P = 0.018). In the univariable analyses, patient age (OR = 1.054, 95% CI [1.003-1.109], P = 0.038), the LA group (vs. the NC group, (OR = 10.286, 95% CI [1.148-92.185], P = 0.037), and ΔPCO2 at H8 (OR = 1.197, 95% CI [1.022-1.401], P = 0.025) were risk factor of MODS after CPB.ConclusionsWe speculated that there was correlation between lactic acidosis and MODS after CPB. In addition, LA should be monitored intensively after CPB.

Project description:BackgroundTransthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the primary tool for assessing left ventricular (LV) function in cardiogenic shock (CS). However, inadequate image quality often hinders it. In this retrospective study, we investigated factors associated with LV image quality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with ischemic CS.ResultsTwo critical care physicians accredited in echocardiography independently reviewed the TTEs of 100 patients admitted to our tertiary cardiac ICU with ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by CS between October 2016 and September 2019. Endocardial border definition (EBD) was graded for each myocardial segment of the apical 4-chamber and 2-chamber views using a conventional scoring system (1 = good, 2 = suboptimal, 3 = poor, and 4 = not possible). The biplane EBD index (EBDi) was calculated by averaging all segments from both views. An average EBDi of both observers was correlated with clinical and echocardiographic parameters. The median age was 62 years [54, 73], and 78% were males. LV ejection fraction and cardiac index (CI) medians were 29% [20, 35] and 1.93 l/min/m2 [1.40, 2.51], respectively. The median biplane EBDi was nearly suboptimal (1.833 [1.542, 2.083]). There was no correlation between EBDi and age, sex, or body mass index. However, biplane EBDi demonstrated statistically significant correlations with PaO2 (r2 = 0.066, p = 0.01), mean arterial pressure (MAP, r2 = 0.055, p = 0.03), CI (r2 = 0.105, p < 0.01), tricuspid annulus systolic velocity (RV S', r2 = 0.092, p = 0.01), and tricuspid regurge maximum velocity (TR Vmax, r2 = 0.067, p = 0.01). In a multivariate model, only CI correlated independently with EBDi (r2 = 0.105, p < 0.01). The biplane EBDi predicted CI (area under the curve (AUC) 0.70, p = 0.001) with good sensitivity (71%) and reasonable specificity (61%).ConclusionsThe study suggests that in patients admitted to the ICU with ischemic CS, LV image quality by TTE deteriorates with the severity of shock, as indicated by CI.
