RESUMEN
RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar a influência de uma sessão de mobilização passiva na função endotelial de pacientes com sepse. Métodos: Este foi um estudo quase-experimental duplo-cego e de braço único com desenho pré e pós-intervenção. Participaram 25 pacientes com diagnóstico de sepse hospitalizados em unidade de terapia intensiva. Avaliou-se a função endotelial basal (pré-intervenção) e imediatamente pós-intervenção por meio de ultrassonografia da artéria braquial. Foram obtidas a dilatação mediada pelo fluxo, a velocidade pico de fluxo sanguíneo e a taxa de cisalhamento pico. A mobilização passiva consistiu na mobilização bilateral (tornozelos, joelhos, quadris, pulsos, cotovelos e ombros), com três séries de dez repetições cada, totalizando 15 minutos. Resultados: Após a mobilização, encontramos aumento da função de reatividade vascular em relação à pré-intervenção: dilatação mediada pelo fluxo absoluta (0,57mm ± 0,22 versus 0,17mm ± 0,31; p < 0,001) e dilatação mediada pelo fluxo relativa (17,1% ± 8,25 versus 5,08% ± 9,16; p < 0,001). O pico de fluxo sanguíneo na hiperemia (71,8cm/s ± 29,3 versus 95,3cm/s ± 32,2; p < 0,001) e a taxa de cisalhamento (211s ± 113 versus 288s ± 144; p < 0,001) também aumentaram. Conclusão: Uma sessão de mobilização passiva foi capaz de aumentar a função endotelial em pacientes graves com sepse. Estudos futuros são necessários para investigar se um programa de mobilização pode ser aplicado como intervenção benéfica para melhorar clinicamente a função endotelial em pacientes hospitalizados por sepse.
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the influence of a passive mobilization session on endothelial function in patients with sepsis. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental double-blind and single-arm study with a pre- and postintervention design. Twenty-five patients with a diagnosis of sepsis who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit were included. Endothelial function was assessed at baseline (preintervention) and immediately postintervention by brachial artery ultrasonography. Flow mediated dilatation, peak blood flow velocity and peak shear rate were obtained. Passive mobilization consisted of bilateral mobilization (ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows and shoulders), with three sets of ten repetitions each, totaling 15 minutes. Results: After mobilization, we found increased vascular reactivity function compared to preintervention: absolute flow-mediated dilatation (0.57mm ± 0.22 versus 0.17mm ± 0.31; p < 0.001) and relative flow-mediated dilatation (17.1% ± 8.25 versus 5.08% ± 9.16; p < 0.001). Reactive hyperemia peak flow (71.8cm/s ± 29.3 versus 95.3cm/s ± 32.2; p < 0.001) and shear rate (211s ± 113 versus 288s ± 144; p < 0.001) were also increased. Conclusion: A passive mobilization session increases endothelial function in critical patients with sepsis. Future studies should investigate whether a mobilization program can be applied as a beneficial intervention for clinical improvement of endothelial function in patients hospitalized due to sepsis.
RESUMEN
Sepsis is a serious organ dysfunction leading to endothelial damage in critical patients. Physiologically, there is an augment of vascular diameter in response to increased vascular blood flow and shear stress stimulus. However, the pattern of vascular response in face of passive mobilization (PM), an early mobilization physical strategy, has not yet been explored in patients with sepsis. To explore patterns of vascular response to PM and associations with clinical and cardiovascular profile in patients with sepsis. Cross-sectional, single-arm study. Thirty-two patients diagnosed with sepsis were enrolled. Vascular response was assessed by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) using brachial artery ultrasound, before and after PM. The PM (to assess the response pattern) and SR (shear rate) were also calculated. PM protocol consisted of knees, hips, wrists, elbows, shoulders, dorsiflexion/plantar flexion movements 3 × 10 repetitions each (15 min). Arterial stiffness was assessed by Sphygmocor®, by analyzing the morphology and pulse wave velocity. Cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM) was assessed by analyzing heart rate variability indexes (mean HR, RMSSD, LF, HF, ApEn, SampEn, DFA). Different vascular responses were observed after PM: (1) increased vascular diameter (responders) (n = 13, %FMD = 11.89 ± 5.64) and (2) reduced vascular diameter (non-responders) (n = 19, %FMD= -7.42 ± 6.44). Responders presented a higher non-linear DFA2 index (p = 0.02). There was a positive association between FMD and DFA (r = 0.529; p = 0.03); FMD and SampEn (r = 0.633; p < 0.01). A negative association was identified between FMD and LF (Hz) (r= -0.680; p < 0.01) and IL-6 (r= -0.469; p = 0.037) and SR and CRP (r= -0.427; p = 0.03).
