RESUMO

To treat hypovolemic shock, fluid infusion or blood transfusion is essential to address insufficient volume. Much controversy surrounds resuscitation in hypovolemic shock. We aimed to identify the ideal fluid combination for treating hypovolemic shock-induced swine model, analyzing bioelectrical impedance and hemodynamics. Fifteen female three-way crossbred pigs were divided into three different groups. The three resuscitation fluids were (1) balanced crystalloid, (2) balanced crystalloid + 5% dextrose water, and (3) balanced crystalloid + 20% albumin. The experiment was divided into three phases and conducted sequentially: (1) controlled hemorrhage (1 L bleeding, 60 min), (2) resuscitation phase 1 (1 L fluid infusion, 60 min), and (3) resuscitation phase 2 (1 L fluid infusion, 60 min). Bioelectrical impedance analysis was implemented with a segmental multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer. A total of 61 impedance measurements were assessed for each pig at six different frequencies in five segments of the pig. Pulse rate (PR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), stroke volume (SV), and stroke volume variation (SVV) were measured using a minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring device. The three-dimensional graph showed a curved pattern when infused with 1 L of balanced crystalloid + 1 L of 5% dextrose water and 1.6 L of balanced crystalloid + 400 ml of 20% albumin. The 1M impedance increased in all groups during the controlled hemorrhage, and continuously decreased from fluid infusion to the end of the experiment. Only balanced crystalloid + 20% albumin significantly restored MAP and SV to the same level as the start of the experiment after the end of fluid infusion. There were no significant differences in MAP and SV from the time of recovery to the initial value of 1M impedance to the end of fluid infusion in all groups. The change and the recovery of hemodynamic indices such as MAP and SV coincide with the change and the recovery of 1M impedance. Using balanced crystalloid mixed with 20% albumin in hypovolemic shock-induced swine model may be helpful in securing hemodynamic stability, compared with balanced crystalloid single administration.

RESUMO

Vasoplegia describes a constellation of low vascular resistance and normal cardiac output. Vasoplegia is common after cardiac surgery in general and in heart transplant recipients more specifically and occurs in over one-half of all heart transplant recipients with a varying degree of severity. The pathophysiology of vasoplegia is multifactorial and associated with a cascade of inflammatory mediators. Routine treatment of vasoplegia is based on medical vasopressor therapy, but in severe cases this may be insufficient to maintain adequate blood pressure and does not address the underlying pathophysiology. We report a case of severe vasoplegic shock in a heart transplant recipient who was successfully managed with a multimodal therapy combination of methylene blue, immunoglobulins enriched with immunoglobulin M, cytokine adsorption, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. This represents a promising therapeutic approach for heart transplant patients with vasoplegia.

RESUMO

Techniques of venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) have improved over the decades, with numerous applications.1 Those with reversible low cardiac output benefit most from this support.1 Case of 21-year-old male, history of congenital heart disease (severe right ventricle hypoplasia and pulmonary artery stenosis with extracardiac cavo-pulmonary shunt (Fontan surgery), and atrial septal defect). Brought to the Emergency Department due to a Mallory-Weiss syndrome, upper-endoscopy "laceration at esophagogastric junction (EGJ) with active bleeding", clips were applied. However, worsening shock, repeated melenas and hematemesis, hemoglobin drop, lactate 2.8mmol/L, and needing noradrenaline (1.21mcg/kg/min). Due to active blood loss and worsening shock, the patient was intubated to maintain airway protection. Repeated upper-endoscopy "voluminous live red clot at EGJ, 4-clips and active bleeding of mucosa between, injection of polidocanol". Despite the implemented strategy, high risk of rebleeding remained. Following invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), sustained hypotension having to increase noradrenaline (1.52mcg/kg/min) and lactate (5.8mmol/l), despite fluid resuscitation. Echocardiogram evidenced severe ventricular dysfunction, and fixed inferior vena cava (IVC) of 20mm. The heart defect combined with positive intrathoracic pressure, contributed to the worsened shock, as Fontan circulation is dependent on low vascular resistance to maintain output2. Needing VA-ECMO and admitted to ICU, volemia optimization, adjusting ventilation to lower intrathoracic pressure and started on milrinone and sildenafil. Another upper-endoscopy showed laceration at EGJ, with placement of clips. Echocardiogram revealed "Normal left ventricle. Hypoplastic right ventricle. Mild mitral regurgitation; aortic VTi 19cm. IVC 22mm. RV/RA gradient 70mmHg. Interatrial bidirectional shunt". Favorable evolution permitted extubation, suspension of milrinone and sildenafil, followed by decannulation. With rescue ECMO, congenital heart disease are salvageable despite sudden decompensation3. This case, positive intrathoracic pressure impairs the Fontan circulation, dependent on preload and higher central venous pressure to maintain cardiac output, as the ventricle is unable to compensate increased demands2, and worsening shock.

RESUMO

This study aimed to assess the predictive ability of the shock index (SI) and the shock index, pediatric age-adjusted (SIPA) for mortality among pediatric patients with trauma (aged ≤ 18 years). A systematic search used PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to identify pertinent articles published from their inception to 13 February 2023. For each SI and SIPA, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated. We planned a priori meta-regression analyses to explore heterogeneity using the following covariates: country, clinical setting, type of center, data source, and cutoff value. Twelve studies were included based on the inclusion criteria. Among them, nine studies with 195,469 patients were included for the SIPA at the hospital, four studies with 4,970 patients were included for the pre-hospital SIPA, and seven studies with 606,445 patients were included to assess the ability of the SI in predicting mortality. The pooled sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence interval for predicting mortality were as follows: 0.58 (0.44-0.70) and 0.72 (0.60-0.82), respectively, for the SIPA at the hospital; 0.61 (0.47-0.74) and 0.67 (0.61-0.73), respectively, for the pre-hospital SIPA; and 0.71 (0.59-0.81) and 0.45 (0.31-0.59), respectively for the SI. The DOR were 3.80, 3.28, and 2.06 for the SIPA at the hospital, pre-hospital SIPA, and SI, respectively. The AUC were 0.693, 0.689, and 0.618 for the SIPA at the hospital, pre-hospital SIPA, and SI, respectively. The SI and SIPA are simple predictive tools with sufficient accuracy that can be readily applied to pediatric patients with trauma, but SIPA and SI should be utilized cautiously due to their limited sensitivity and specificity, respectively.

RESUMO

Background: Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS) is a critical manifestation of Kawasaki disease (KD). In recent years, a logistic regression prediction model has been widely used to predict the occurrence probability of various diseases. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of children with KD and develop and validate an individualized logistic regression model for predicting KDSS among children with KD. Methods: The clinical data of children diagnosed with KDSS and hospitalized between January 2021 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The best predictors were selected by logistic regression and lasso regression analyses. A logistic regression model was built of the training set (n = 162) to predict the occurrence of KDSS. The model prediction was further performed by logistic regression. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the performance of the logistic regression model. We built a nomogram model by visualizing the calibration curve using a 1000 bootstrap resampling program. The model was validated using an independent validation set (n = 68). Results: In the univariate analysis, among the 24 variables that differed significantly between the KDSS and KD groups, further logistic and Lasso regression analyses found that five variables were independently related to KDSS: rash, brain natriuretic peptide, serum Na, serum P, and aspartate aminotransferase. A logistic regression model was established of the training set (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.979; sensitivity=96.2%; specificity=97.2%). The calibration curve showed good consistency between the predicted values of the logistic regression model and the actual observed values in the training and validation sets. Conclusion: Here we established a feasible and highly accurate logistic regression model to predict the occurrence of KDSS, which will enable its early identification.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular (AV) node blocking, shock, and hyperkalemia syndrome is a potentially life-threatening clinical condition characterized by bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular (AV) node blocking, shock, and hyperkalemia. It constitutes a vicious circle in which the accumulation of pharmacologically active compounds and hyperkalemia lead to hemodynamic instability and heart failure. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old Caucasian female patient was admitted to the emergency department presenting with fatigue and bradycardia. Upon examination, the patient was found to be anuric and hypotensive. Laboratory investigations revealed metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia. Clinical evaluation suggested signs of digoxin toxicity, with serum digoxin concentrations persistently elevated over several days. Despite the implementation of antikalemic measures, the patient's condition remained refractory, necessitating renal dialysis and administration of digoxin immune fab. CONCLUSION: Bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular (AV) node blocking, shock, and hyperkalemia syndrome is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt management. It is important to also consider potential coexisting clinical manifestations indicative of intoxication from other pharmacological agents. Specifically, symptoms associated with the accumulation of drugs eliminated via the kidneys, such as digoxin. These manifestations may warrant targeted therapeutic measures.

RESUMO

The shock index (SI) has been associated with predicting transfusion needs in trauma patients. However, its utility in penetrating thoracic trauma (PTTrauma) for predicting the Critical Administration Threshold (CAT) has not been well-studied. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of SI in predicting CAT in PTTrauma patients and compare its performance with the Assessment of Blood Consumption (ABC) and Revised Assessment of Bleeding and Transfusion (RABT) scores. We conducted a prognostic type 2, single-center retrospective observational cohort study on patients with PTTrauma and an Injury Severity Score (ISS) > 9. The primary exposure was SI at admission, and the primary outcome was CAT. Logistic regression and decision curve analysis were used to assess the predictive performance of SI and the PTTrauma score, a novel model incorporating clinical variables. Of the 620 participants, 53 (8.5%) had more than one CAT. An SI > 0.9 was associated with CAT (adjusted OR 4.89, 95% CI 1.64-14.60). The PTTrauma score outperformed SI, ABC, and RABT scores in predicting CAT (AUC 0.867, 95% CI 0.826-0.908). SI is a valuable predictor of CAT in PTTrauma patients. The novel PTTrauma score demonstrates superior performance compared to existing scores, highlighting the importance of developing targeted predictive models for specific injury patterns. These findings can guide clinical decision-making and resource allocation in the management of PTTrauma.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Objective: While nonnorepinephrine vasopressors are increasingly used as a rescue therapy in cases of norepinephrine-refractory shock, data on their efficacy are limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesize existing literature on the efficacy of angiotensin II (ATII) in distributive shock. Methods: We preregistered our meta-analysis with PROSPERO (CRD42023456136). We searched PubMed, Scopus, and gray literature for studies presenting outcomes on ATII use in distributive shock. The primary outcome of the meta-analysis was all-cause mortality. We used a random effects model to calculate pooled risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: By incorporating data from 1,555 patients included in 10 studies, we found that however, all-cause mortality was similar among patients receiving ATII and controls (RR = 1.02; 95% CI: 0.89 to 1.16, P = 0.81), the reduction in norepinephrine or norepinephrine-equivalent dose at 3 h after treatment initiation was greater among patients receiving ATII (MD = -0.06; 95% CI: -0.11 to -0.02, P = 0.008), while there were no higher rates of adverse events reported among ATII patients. Conclusions: While ATII did not reduce mortality among distributive shock patients, it allowed for significant adjunctive vasopressor reduction at 3 h without an increase in reported adverse events, deeming it a viable alternative for the increasingly adopted multimodal vasopressor for minimizing catecholamine exposure and its adverse events.

RESUMO

Delayed anaphylaxis after ingestion of red meat because of galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) syndrome has increased in recent years. The mechanism involves an immunoglobulin E reaction to alpha-gal, a molecule found in mammalian meat, dairy products, medications and excipients containing mammalian-derived components, and tick salivary glycans. Sensitization occurs due to the bite of a lone star tick and the transmission of alpha-gal molecules into person's bloodstream. We describe a case of alpha-gal syndrome with severe food, drug, and perioperative allergy in which anaphylaxis with hypovolemic shock occurred immediately after an emergency surgical procedure, when a gelatin-containing drug was injected. This case study confirms that the clinical manifestations of alpha-gal syndrome could be different depending on the route of administration, with immediate reactions if an alpha-gal-containing drug is injected and delayed type allergic manifestations occurring several hours after oral intake. The purpose of this report is to highlight the importance of risk communication in case of exposure to medical products and surgical procedures of patients with alpha-gal syndrome and to encourage drug manufacturers to indicate clearly the origin of excipients in product literature.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Various prediction scores have been developed to predict mortality in trauma patients, such as the shock index (SI), modified SI (mSI), age-adjusted SI (aSI), and the shock index (SI) multiplied by the alert/verbal/painful/unresponsive (AVPU) score (SIAVPU). The SIAVPU is a novel scoring system but its prediction accuracy for trauma outcomes remains in need of further validation. Therefore, we investigated the accuracy of four scoring systems, including SI, mSI, aSI, and SIAVPU, in predicting mortality, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and prolonged hospital length of stay ≥ 30 days (LOS). METHODS: This retrospective multicenter study used data from the Tzu Chi Hospital trauma database. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was determined for each outcome to assess their discrimination capabilities and comparing by Delong's test. Subgroup analyses were conducted to investigate the prediction accuracy of the SIAVPU in different patient populations. RESULTS: In total, 5355 patients were included in the analysis. The median of SIAVPU were significantly higher among patients at those with major injury (1.47 vs 0.63), those admitted to the ICU (0.73 vs 0.62), those with prolonged hospital LOS≥ 30 days (0.83 vs 0.64), and those with mortality (1.08 vs 0.64). The AUROC of the SIAVPU was significantly higher than that of the SI, mSI, and aSI for 24-h mortality (AUROC: 0.845 vs 0.533, 0.540, and 0.678), 3-day mortality (AUROC: 0.803 vs 0.513, 0.524, and 0.688), 7-day mortality (AUROC: 0.755 vs 0.494, 0.505, and 0.648), in-hospital mortality (AUROC: 0.722 vs 0.510, 0.524, and 0.667), ICU admission (AUROC: 0.635 vs 0.547, 0.551, and 0.563). At the optimal cutoff value of 0.9, the SIAVPU had an accuracy of 82.2% for predicting 24-h mortality, 82.8% for predicting 3-day mortality, of 82.8% for predicting 7-day mortality, of 82.5% for predicting in-hospital mortality, of 73.9% for predicting Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, and of 81.7% for predicting prolonged hospital LOS ≥30 days. CONCLUSIONS: Our results reveal that SIAVPU has better accuracy than the SI, mSI, and aSI for predicting 24-h, 3-day, 7-day, and in-hospital mortality; ICU admission; and prolonged hospital LOS ≥30 days among patients with traumatic injury.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Vasopressor medications raise blood pressure through vasoconstriction and are essential in reversing the hypotension seen in many critically ill patients. Previously, vasopressor administration was largely limited to continuous infusions through central venous access. OBJECTIVES OF THE REVIEW: This review addresses the clinical use of vasopressors in various shock states, including practical considerations and innovations in vasopressor administration. The focus is on the clinical administration of vasopressors across a range of shock states, including hypovolemic, distributive, cardiogenic, and obstructive shock. DISCUSSION: Criteria for starting vasopressors are not clearly defined, though early use may be beneficial. A number of physiologic factors affect the body's response to vasopressors, such as acidosis and adrenal insufficiency. Peripheral and push-dose administration of vasopressors are becoming more common. Distributive shock is characterized by inappropriate vasodilation and vasopressors play a crucial role in maintaining adequate blood pressure. The use of vasopressors is more controversial in hypovolemic shock, as the preferred treatment is correction of the volume deficit. Evidence for vasopressors is limited in cardiogenic shock. For obstructive shock, vasopressors can temporize a patient's blood pressure until definitive therapy can reverse the underlying cause. CONCLUSION: Across the categories of shock states, norepinephrine has wide applicability and is a reasonable first-line agent for shock of uncertain etiology. Keeping a broad differential when hypotension is refractory to vasopressors may help to identify adjunctive treatments in physiologic states that impair vasopressor effectiveness. Peripheral administration of vasopressors is safe and facilitates early administration, which may help to improve outcomes in some shock states.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The shock index (SI) is a known predictor of unfavorable outcomes in trauma. This study seeks to examine and compare the SI values between geriatric patients and younger adults. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of the Trauma Quality Improvement Program database from 2017 to 2019. All patients≥ 25 y with injury severity score ≥ 16 were included. Age groups were defined as 25-44 y (group A), 45-64 y (group B), and ≥65 y (group C). SI was calculated for all patients. The primary outcome was mortality and secondary outcomes were need for blood transfusion and need for major surgical intervention (consisting angiography, exploratory laparotomy, and thoracotomy). RESULTS: A total of 244,943 patients were studied. The SI was highest in group A (0.82 ± 0.33) and lowest in group C (0.62 ± 0.30) (P < 0.001). Mortality rate of group C (17%) was significantly higher than group A (9.7%) and B (11.3%) (P < 0.001). In group A, each 0.1 increase in SI was associated with mortality (odds ratio [OR] = 1.079), need for blood transfusion (OR = 1.225) and need for major surgical intervention (OR = 1.347) (P < 0.001 for all). In group C, each 0.1 increase in SI was associated with mortality (OR = 1.126), need for blood transfusion (OR = 1.318), and need for major surgical intervention (OR = 1.648) (P < 0.001 for all). The area under the curve of SI was significantly higher in group C compared to other groups for needing a major surgical intervention and need for blood transfusion (P < 0.05 for both). CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight the significance of the SI as a valuable indicator in geriatric patients with severe trauma. The findings show that SI predicts outcomes in geriatrics more strongly than in younger counterparts.

RESUMO

Objective: The objective is to expose the cardiovascular alterations in patients diagnosed with pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS) associated with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, in order to understand the disease, its evolution, and optimal management upon diagnosis. Method: Retrospective, observational, cross-sectional analytical study of patients diagnosed with PIMS according to the criteria of the World Health Organization at the National Institute of Pediatrics, from March 2020 to December 2021. Results: During the study period, 77 patients with PIMS were diagnosed. The results showed correlation between the shock state and alteration of laboratory markers (platelets 144217.29 ± 139321.6 µL [p < 0.001], procalcitonin 27.37 ± 38.37 ng/ml [p = 0.05] and ferritin 1937.87 ± 2562.63 [p < 0.001]). The ventricular function in patients with shock was significantly lower compared to those without shock (49.6 ± 9.1% vs. 58.1 ± 8.4 %; t-Student p < 0.001), as well as injury to the left coronary artery (p = 0.02). There is a correlation between NT-proBNP and ventricular dysfunction (Kruskal-Wallis p = 0.007). Statistical significance was found in the association between death, elevation of inflammatory markers and ventricular dysfunction (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The cardiovascular alterations observed, in order of frequency, were pericardial effusion (25.7%), myocarditis (15%), mild ventricular dysfunction (13.5%) and small coronary aneurysm with predominance of the left coronary artery and the anterior descending one.


Objetivo: Exponer las alteraciones cardiovasculares en los pacientes diagnosticados con síndrome inflamatorio multisistémico pediátrico (PIMS) asociado a COVID-19 durante la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 con el fin de comprender la enfermedad, su evolución y el manejo óptimo al diagnóstico. Método: Estudio retrospectivo, observacional, transversal y analítico de pacientes con diagnóstico de PIMS de acuerdo con los criterios de la Organización Mundial de la Salud en el Instituto Nacional de Pediatría, de marzo de 2020 a diciembre de 2021. Resultados: Durante el periodo de estudio se diagnosticaron 77 pacientes con PIMS. Los resultados demostraron una correlación entre el estado de choque y la alteración de los marcadores de laboratorio (plaquetas 144217.29 ± 139321.6 µl [p < 0.001], procalcitonina 27.37 ± 38.37 ng/ml [p = 0.05] y ferritina 1937.87 ± 2562.63 [p < 0.001]). La función ventricular en los pacientes con choque se registró significativamente menor en comparación con aquellos sin choque (49.6 ± 9.1 % vs. 58.1 ± 8.4 %; t de Student p < 0.001), así como lesión en la arteria coronaria izquierda (p = 0.02). Existe una correlación entre el NT-proBNP y la disfunción ventricular (Kruskal-Wallis p = 0.007). Se encontró significancia estadística en la asociación entre fallecimiento, elevación de los marcadores inflamatorios y disfunción ventricular (p < 0.001). Conclusiones: Las alteraciones cardiovasculares observadas fueron, en orden de frecuencia, derrame pericárdico (25.7%), miocarditis (15%), disfunción ventricular leve (13.5%) y aneurisma pequeño coronario con predominio de la arteria coronaria izquierda y la descendente anterior.
