Project description:BackgroundSerum lactate and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) are commonly used and commonly recommended as markers of tissue oxygenation in shock states. Medical literature has both explicitly stated and implied that the two biomarkers are interchangeable in the management of patients with shock. However, there have been relatively few direct comparisons of these tests in clinical circumstances, and the relationship between them is uncertain. The objective of our study was to evaluate whether simultaneous or near-simultaneous measurements of lactate and ScvO2 reveal a consistent relationship between these two biomarkers.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted in an urban, academic US hospital. All adults in ICUs between March 2007 and March 2017 who had a lactate measurement and ScvO2 or mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) measurement made +/- 1 h from the lactate were included. Linear and non-linear correlations of ScvO2 and lactate were assessed in a variety of shock states.ResultsTwo thousand sixty-two patients were included. Lactate and ScvO2 correlated poorly (r 2 = 0.0041, p = 0.0019). This was true for patients with ScvO2 ≤ 65% (r 2 = 0.0431, p < 0.001), patients with normal kidney and liver function (r 2 = 0.0517, p < 0.001), and septic shock patients (r 2 = 0.0037, p = 0.17). For patients with an O2 extraction ratio ≥ 50%, lactate and ScvO2 were strongly correlated (r 2 = 0.93, p = 0.0019), but these patients represented only 2.8% of patients in whom the ratio could be calculated.ConclusionsLactate can predict ScvO2 when patients are at or below the critical oxygen delivery threshold, but relatively few shock patients meet this criterion. In the overall population of critically ill patients, serum lactate predicts ScvO2 poorly, even after controlling for factors that may affect lactate production. Lactate and ScvO2 should not be assumed to be interchangeable markers of tissue oxygenation/perfusion.

Project description:BackgroundCentral venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) is often used to help to guide resuscitation of critically ill patients. The standard gold technique for ScvO2 measurement is the co-oximetry (Co-oximetry_ScvO2), which is usually incorporated in most recent blood gas analyzers. However, in some hospitals, those machines are not available and only calculated ScvO2 (Calc_ScvO2) is provided. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the agreement between Co-oximetry_ScvO2 and Calc_ScvO2 in a general population of critically ill patients and septic shock patients.MethodsA total of 100 patients with a central venous catheter were included in the study. One hundred central venous blood samples were collected and analyzed using the same point-of-care blood gas analyzer, which provides both the calculated and measured ScvO2 values. Bland and Altman plot, intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), and Cohen's Kappa coefficient were used to assess the agreement between Co-oximetry_ScvO2 and Calc_ScvO2. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the independent explanatory variables of the difference between Co-oximetry_ScvO2 and Calc_ScvO2.ResultsIn all population, Bland and Altman's analysis showed poor agreement (+4.5 [-7.1, +16.1]%) between the two techniques. The ICC was 0.754 [(95% CI: 0.393-0.880), P< 0.001], and the Cohen's Kappa coefficient, after categorizing the two variables into two groups using a cutoff value of 70%, was 0.470 (P <0.001). In septic shock patients (49%), Bland and Altman's analysis also showed poor agreement (+5.6 [-6.7 to 17.8]%). The ICC was 0.720 [95% CI: 0.222-0.881], and the Cohen's Kappa coefficient was 0.501 (P <0.001). Four independent variables (PcvO2, Co-oximetry_ScvO2, venous pH, and Hb) were found to be associated with the difference between the measured and calculated ScvO2 (adjusted R2 = 0.8, P<0.001), with PcvO2 being the main independent explanatory variable because of its highest absolute standardized coefficient. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curves (AUC) of PcvO2 to predict Co-oximetry_ScvO2 ? 70% was 0.911 [95% CI: 0.837-0.959], in all patients, and 0.903 [95% CI: 0.784-0.969], in septic shock patients. The best cutoff value was ? 36 mmHg (sensitivity, 88%; specificity, 83%), in all patients, and ? 35 mmHg (sensitivity, 94%; specificity, 71%) in septic shock patients.ConclusionsThe discrepancy between the measured and calculated ScvO2 is clinically not acceptable. We do not recommend the use of calculated ScvO2 to guide resuscitation in critically ill patients. In situations where the Co-oximetry technique is not available, relying on PcvO2 to predict the measured ScvO2 value above or below 70% could be an option.

Project description:BackgroundInvasive mechanical ventilation in critically ill adults involves adjusting the fraction of inspired oxygen to maintain arterial oxygen saturation. The oxygen-saturation target that will optimize clinical outcomes in this patient population remains unknown.MethodsIn a pragmatic, cluster-randomized, cluster-crossover trial conducted in the emergency department and medical intensive care unit at an academic center, we assigned adults who were receiving mechanical ventilation to a lower target for oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry (Spo2) (90%; goal range, 88 to 92%), an intermediate target (94%; goal range, 92 to 96%), or a higher target (98%; goal range, 96 to 100%). The primary outcome was the number of days alive and free of mechanical ventilation (ventilator-free days) through day 28. The secondary outcome was death by day 28, with data censored at hospital discharge.ResultsA total of 2541 patients were included in the primary analysis. The median number of ventilator-free days was 20 (interquartile range, 0 to 25) in the lower-target group, 21 (interquartile range, 0 to 25) in the intermediate-target group, and 21 (interquartile range, 0 to 26) in the higher-target group (P = 0.81). In-hospital death by day 28 occurred in 281 of the 808 patients (34.8%) in the lower-target group, 292 of the 859 patients (34.0%) in the intermediate-target group, and 290 of the 874 patients (33.2%) in the higher-target group. The incidences of cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, stroke, and pneumothorax were similar in the three groups.ConclusionsAmong critically ill adults receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, the number of ventilator-free days did not differ among groups in which a lower, intermediate, or higher Spo2 target was used.

Project description:We evaluated the association of the kinetics of interleukin-6 (IL-6), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) with intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in critically ill patients with hyperlactatemia. This proof-of-concept study was conducted with prospectively enrolled patients admitted to a medical/surgical ICU with hyperlactatemia (lactate levels >4 mmol/L). Blood lactate, IL-6, NGAL, and HMGB1 were measured every 2 h until 6 h post ICU admission. The primary outcome was ICU mortality. Of thirty patients in this study, 14 patients (47%) had sepsis, and the ICU mortality was 47%. IL-6 and NGAL levels were significantly higher in septic patients than in non-septic patients. On kinetic analysis, the lactate levels were significantly decreased in survivors, and the NGAL levels were significantly increased in non-survivors. Among septic patients, a decline in IL-6 levels were observed in survivors. The HMGB1 levels were unchanged in survivors and non-survivors regardless of sepsis complication. Non-septic patients with higher reduction rate of lactate and HMGB1 had the lowest mortality than the others. ICU patients exhibited different kinetic patterns in lactate, NGAL, and IL-6, but HMGB1 did not seem to change over the 6-h duration. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of the inflammatory biomarkers with lactate.

Project description:Some prior studies have shown that elevated mean central venous pressure in certain patient populations and disease processes may lead to poor prognosis. However, these studies failed to generalize the concept of elevated central venous pressure (ECVP) load to all patients in critical care settings because of the limited cases and exclusive cohorts. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between elevated central venous pressure and outcomes in critical care.We performed a retrospective analysis on a single-center public database (MIMIC) of more than 9000 patients and more than 500,000 records of central venous pressure measurement. We evaluated the association between mean central venous pressure level and 28-day mortality after intensive care unit admission. The secondary outcomes were duration of mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drug use, laboratory results related to organ dysfunction and length of intensive care unit hospitalization. Accordingly, we proposed the concept of ECVP10 (the time sum of CVP above 10 mmHg) and investigated its association with outcome.There were 1645 deaths at 28 days after admission. Compared with the lowest quartile of mean central venous pressure [mean (SD) 7.4 (1.9) mmHg], the highest quartile [17.4 (4.1) mmHg] was associated with a 33.6% (95% CI 1.117-1.599) higher adjusted risk of death. Poor secondary outcomes were also associated with higher quartiles of elevated mean central venous pressure. After stratification by mean central venous pressure, elevated duration of central venous pressure above 10 mmHg was significantly higher in the non-survival group than in the survival group.Elevated central venous pressure level correlated with poor outcomes and prolonged treatment in critical care settings. Level and duration of elevated central venous pressure should be both evaluated to establish its cause and apply appropriate treatment.

Project description:The aims of this study are to describe the use of pharmaceutical venous thromboembolism (pVTE) prophylaxis in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Europe and study the association of pVTE prophylaxis with outcome. We included 2006 patients ≥18 years of age admitted to the intensive care unit from the CENTER-TBI study. VTE events were recorded based on clinical symptoms. Variation between 54 centers in pVTE prophylaxis use was assessed with a multi-variate random-effect model and quantified with the median odds ratio (MOR). The association between pVTE prophylaxis and outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended at 6 months) was assessed at center level with an instrumental variable analysis and at patient level with a multi-variate proportional odds regression analysis and a propensity-matched analysis. A time-dependent Cox survival regression analysis was conducted to determine the effect of pVTE prophylaxis on survival during hospital stay. The association between VTE prophylaxis and computed tomography (CT) progression was assessed with a logistic regression analysis. Overall, 56 patients (2%) had a VTE during hospital stay. The majority, 1279 patients (64%), received pVTE prophylaxis, with substantial between-center variation (MOR, 2.7; p < 0.001). A moderate association with improved outcome was found at center level (odds ratio [OR], 1.2 [0.7-2.1]) and patient level (multi-variate adjusted OR, 1.4 [1.1-1.7], and propensity adjusted OR, 1.5 [1.1-2.0]), with similar results in subgroup analyses. Survival was higher with the use of pVTE prophylaxis (p < 0.001). We found no clear effect on CT progression (OR, 0.9; CI [0.6-1.2]). Overall, practice policies for pVTE prophylaxis vary substantially between European centers, whereas pVTE prophylaxis may contribute to improved outcome. Trial registration number is NCT02210221 at ClinicalTrials.gov, registered on August 6, 2014 (first patient enrollment on December 19, 2014).

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the optimal target e of lactate kinetics at different time during the resuscitation, the factors that influence whether the kinetics achieve the goals, and the clinical implications of different clinical phenotypes.MethodsPatients with hyperlactatemia between May 1, 2013 and December 31, 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, basic organ function, hemodynamic parameters at ICU admission (T0) and at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, arterial blood lactate and blood glucose levels, cumulative clinical treatment conditions at different time points and final patient outcomes were collected.ResultsA total of 3298 patients were enrolled, and the mortality rate was 12.2%. The cutoff values of lactate kinetics for prognosis at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h were 21%, 40%, 57%, 66%, and 72%. The APACHE II score, SOFA score, heart rate (HR), and blood glucose were risk factors that correlated with whether the lactate kinetics attained the target goal. Based on the pattens of the lactate kinetics, eight clinical phenotypes were proposed. The odds ratios of death for clinical phenotypes VIII, IV, and II were 4.39, 4.2, and 5.27-fold of those of clinical phenotype I, respectively.ConclusionStepwise recovery of lactate kinetics is an important resuscitation target for patients with hyperlactatemia. The APACHE II score, SOFA score, HR, and blood glucose were independent risk factors that influenced achievement of lactate kinetic targets. The cinical phenotypes of stepwise lactate kinetics are closely related to the prognosis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Up to one-third of critically ill patients have difficult intravenous access (DIVA). This occurs often in obese patients, those with generalized edemas or in patients with previous venous cannulations. In DIVA patients, the conventional technique often fails. In contrast, ultrasound-guided cannulation has demonstrated a high success rate, improving patient satisfaction and even a reduction in the need of central venous lines. However, a high rate of premature catheter failure has been shown in cannulations performed by ultrasound guidance and thus a comprehensive knowledge of several aspects related to this procedure is mandatory to improve cannulation success, avoid complications and lengthen the survival of the catheter. MAIN TEXT:Several practical issues related to peripheral venous cannulation are described: peripheral venous anatomy, vein size and catheter selection, distance from skin to vein, insertion angle and selection of the catheter length, cannulation technique itself (out-of-plane or in-plane) and checking catheter position. CONCLUSION:Key concepts regarding ultrasound-guided peripheral vein cannulation should be well known for practitioners, aiding in improving cannulation success and catheter dwell time, and avoiding complications.

Project description:Recent studies have found that oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) variability analysis has potential for noninvasive assessment of the functional connectivity of cardiorespiratory control systems during hypoxia. Patients with sepsis have suboptimal tissue oxygenation and impaired organ system connectivity. Our objective with this report was to highlight the potential use for SpO2 variability analysis in predicting intensive care survival in patients with sepsis. MIMIC-III clinical data of 164 adults meeting Sepsis-3 criteria and with 30 min of SpO2 and respiratory rate data were analyzed. The complexity of SpO2 signals was measured through various entropy calculations such as sample entropy and multiscale entropy analysis. The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score was calculated to assess the severity of sepsis and multiorgan failure. While the standard deviation of SpO2 signals was comparable in the non-survivor and survivor groups, non-survivors had significantly lower SpO2 entropy than those who survived their ICU stay (0.107 ± 0.084 vs. 0.070 ± 0.083, p < 0.05). According to Cox regression analysis, higher SpO2 entropy was a predictor of survival in patients with sepsis. Multivariate analysis also showed that the prognostic value of SpO2 entropy was independent of other covariates such as age, SOFA score, mean SpO2 , and ventilation status. When SpO2 entropy was combined with mean SpO2 , the composite had a significantly higher performance in prediction of survival. Analysis of SpO2 entropy can predict patient outcome, and when combined with SpO2 mean, can provide improved prognostic information. The prognostic power is on par with the SOFA score. This analysis can easily be incorporated into current ICU practice and has potential for noninvasive assessment of critically ill patients.
