ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of norepinephrine on pulmonary vessel pressure in animal model of septic shock. MethodsTwelve health mongrel dogs were randomly divided into a control group (n=5, intravenously injected with normal saline 1 mL/kg) and an endotoxin group(n=7, intravenously injected with lipopolysaccharide 1 mg/kg). When the systemic blood pressure decreased by more than 40% of baseline before administration, the dogs in two groups were intravenously injected with NE 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0μg·kg-1·min-1. The interval of each dose was more than 10 minutes. The changes of the pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), pulmonary venous pressure (PVP), and systemic arterial rressure (SAP) were recorded and compared between two groups. ResultsIn the control group, PAP didn't change significantly after administration (P < 0.05), however, PVP increased obviously after NE administration in dose of 2.0 and 5.0μg·kg-1·min-1 (P < 0.05), and SAP increased obviously after NE administration in dose of 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0μg·kg-1·min-1 (P < 0.01). In the endotoxin group, PAP increased obviously after NE administration in dose of 2.0 and 5.0μg·kg-1·min-1 (P < 0.05), while PVP didn't change significantly (P > 0.05), and SAP increased obviously after NE administration in dose of 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0μg·kg-1·min-1 (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in SAP (P < 0.05), not in PAP and PVP (P > 0.05), between two groups after NE administration at dose of 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0μg·kg-1·min-1. The PVP/SAP and PAP/SAP values didn't change significantly after administration in the control group (P > 0.05). In the endotoxin group, the PVP/SAP and PAP/SAP values increased significantly after LPS administration, and decreased slightly after NE administration in dose of 2.0 and 5.0μg·kg-1·min-1 (P < 0.05). ConclusionsNE administration in septic shock can not increase the angiotasis of the pulmonary vein. NE administration in dose of 2.0 and 5.0μg·kg-1·min-1 can cause the increase of PAP and SAP, but the increase of PAP is lower than the increase of SAP.
Objective To investigate the value of extravascular lung water index ( EVLWI) and intrathoracic blood volume index ( ITBVI) monitoring in fluid management of severe pneumonia patients with sepsis shock.Methods A prospective controlled study was conducted in106 patients who were diagnosed as severe pneumonia with sepsis shock in intensive care unit fromJanuary 2010 to February 2013. 54 patients who received pulse indicator continuous output ( PiCCO) monitoring were enrolled into the EVLWI + ITBVI group, and EVLWI and ITBVI were used as indicator of fluid management. 52 patients who received central venous pressure ( CVP) as indicator of traditional fluid managementwere enrolled into the control group. The time and the rate to achieve early goal-directed therapy ( EGDT) target were compared between two groups. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ ( APACHE Ⅱ ) , sepsis related organ failure assessment ( SOFA) , noradrenaline dosage, serumlactic acid, serum creatinine were compared between 1 day and 3 days after treatment. The characteristics of fluid management were recorded and compared within 72 hours. Mechanical ventilation ratio, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and 28-day mortality were compared between two groups. Results The ratio of achieving EGDT target in 6 hours was significantly higher in the EVLWI + ITBVI group than that in the control group ( 75.9% vs. 55.7% , Plt;0.05) , whereas the time and the ratio to achieve EGDT target in 24 hours were not statistically different. APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA, norepinephrine dosage, serum lactate were significantly decreased 3 days after treatment in the EVLWI + ITBVI group, but did not change significantly in the control group. On3 days after treatment, serumcreatinine was increased in the control group, and did not change significantly in the EVLWI + ITBVI group. The fluid intake and fluid balance volume during 0-6 hours period were significantly higher in the EVLWI + ITBVI group than those in the control group ( Plt;0.05) , but showed no difference ( Pgt;0.05) in other periods. Mechanical ventilation ratio, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and 28-days mortality were significantly lower in the EVLWI + ITBVI group compared with the control group ( Plt;0.05) . Conclusion Compared with CVP, ITBVI and EVLWI can more accurately assess and guide fluid management in severe pneumonia patients with septic shock with less duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and mortality.

Objective To evaluate the effects of intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired hypernatremia (IAH) on the outcome of septic shock patients. Methods This retrospective study analyzed 116 septic shock patients admitted to the ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from August 2018 to December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: IAH group and normonatremia group. χ2 test, t test and the Mann-Whitney U test of the non-parametric test were used to compare the differences in clinical data between the two groups. Independent risk factors for IAH were identified by unconditioned Logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to determine their role in predicting IAH. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to evaluate the effects of IAH and its duration on 28-day survival. Results Renal insufficiency, K+ concentration, body temperature max, mechanical ventilation, chronic critical illness, rapid recovery, sepsis-associated encephalopathy, persistent inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome, and the length of stay in ICU had significant differences (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed: total urine volume in the previous 3 days [odds ratio (OR) 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01 - 1.16, P=0.019] and sodium content in enteral nutrition preparations (670 mg) (OR 6.00, 95%CI 1.61 - 22.42, P=0.006) were independent risk factors for IAH. In addition, the area under the ROC curve of total urine output in the first 3 days was 0.800 (95%CI 0.678 - 0.922, P=0.001). Finally, the duration of IAH was significantly correlated with 28-day survival rate (P=0.020). Conclusions IAH is a common and serious complication in septic shock, and is the main cause of poor prognosis. Sodium status may act as an ideal screening tool for patients with septic shock.

Objective To investigate the value of pulse indicator continuous cardiac output ( PiCCO) monitoring in the treatment of septic shock.Methods Patients with septic shock were selected in intensive care unit ( ICU) . After initial empirical resuscitating and using vasoactive drugs, the patients with circulation instability were connected with the PiCCO temperature probe to monitor hemodynamics and to resuscitate in the target of intrathoracic blood volume index ( ITBVI) , cardiac index ( CI) , extravascular lung water index ( EVLWI) . Hemodynamic parameters, oxygen metabolic variability and 24h-fluid management after 0h ( before) , 8h, 24h, the rate of implementing resuscitation goals, oxygen metabolic variability and fluid resuscitation at different times in the guidance of PiCCO parameters were compared. The data of age, APACHEⅡ score, central venous pressure ( CVP) , CI, ITBVI, mean arterial pressure ( MAP) , systemic vascular resistance index ( SVRI) and EVLWI after 0h and 24h were substituted into the regression equation by the multiple linear regression, to determine the indexes which would affect the 28-day prognosis. Results A total of 80 patients with septic shock were recruited in the study. Comparing fluid resuscitation at different times in the guidance of PiCCO,MAP( 73.6 ±13.4 and 75.1 ±10.2 mm Hg) , ITBVI ( 843.5 ±168.9 and 891.5 ±232.9 mL/m2 ) and CI ( 3.2 ±1.1 and 3.9 ±0. 4 L· min-1 · m-2 ) on 8h and 24h were significantly higher than that at 0h ( 69.1 ±21.4 mm Hg, 781.2±146.7 mL/m2 and 2.7 ±1.5 L·min-1·m-2 ) , and Lac( 2.0 ±1.4 and 1.1 ±1.0 mmol /L) and SVRI ( 1 624. 2 ±301. 7 and 1 543.6 ±435.4 d·s·m2·cm-5 ) were declined than that at 0h( 3.1 ±2.4 mmol /L and 1 796.2 ±399.1 d·s·m2 ·cm-5 ) ( Plt;0.05) . The rate of implementing resuscitation goals at 8h ( 64.7% ) and 24h ( 66.9% ) were significantly higher than that at 0h ( 55.7% ) ( Plt;0.05) , but there was no significant difference between 8h and 24h ( Pgt;0.05) . All of the patients were divided into a survival group ( n=54) and a death group ( n=26) . The rate of implementing resuscitation goals at 0h and 24h in the survival group ( 57.1% and 71.3% ) were significantly higher than that of the death group( 28.6% and 39.3% ) . By the prognosis on 28-day as the dependent variability in the multiple linear regression, multiple linear regression equation were established, and there was significantly difference ( F=55.03, Plt;0.05) . By the layer-wise screening, equation was fitted, both the CI ( R=0.431) and ITBVI ( R=0.627) at beginning and EVLWI ( R= 0.305) at 24h were determined to influence the 28-day prognosis. Conclusions The fluid resuscitation under the guidance of PiCCO can achieve the goal better and improve the prognosis. CI, ITBVI and EVLWI were useful goaldirectors for the prognosis evaluation in critical ill patients.
