ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of dopamine combined with norepinephrine on blood lactate and inflammatory factors in elderly patients with severe septic shock.Methods 120 elderly patients with severe septic shock were randomly divided into control group and observation group,60 cases in each group.The control group was treated with dopamine.The observation group was treated with norepinephrine on the basis of the control group at the same time.The treatment was evaluated 48 h after treatment.The changes of heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP),central venous pressure(CVP),blood lactate(Lac),urine output,central venous oxygen saturation(SC-VO2),tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),C-reactive protein(CRP),serum calcitonin(PCT),cardiac function index(CI),peripheral vascular resistance index(SVRI)and extravascular lung water index(ELVWI)were observed before and after treatment for 48h.Results After treatment,the HR of the patients of the two groups decreased,there was no significant difference between before and after treatment in the control group(t=1.551,P=0.062),HR of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group and before treatment,the differences were statistically significant(t=15.847,14.960,all P=0.00).The MAP of the control group and the observation group after treatment were higher than those of before treatment(t=32.949,44.344,all P=0.00),and CVP were higher than before treatment(t=12.620,18.959,all P=0.00),urine volume increased significantly compared with before treatment(t=83.213,94.562,all P=0.00),and SC-VO2 were higher than those of before treatment(t=36.589,42.899,all P=0.00),Lac were lower than before treatment(t=15.653,24.016,all P=0.00).The improve degree of HR,MAP,CVP,Lac,urine volume,SC-VO2 of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(t=14.960,15.267,4.857,7.022,20.395,5.704,all P=0.00).The TNF-α levels of the control group and the observation group were lower than those of before treatment(t=13.300,33.004,all P=0.00),the CRP decreased significantly compared with before treatment(t=24.759,24.756,all P=0.00),the PCT were lower than those of before treatment(t=15.235,26.693,all P=0.00),the TNF-α,CRP and PCT of the observation group were decreased more significantly compared with the control group(t=17.470,6.079,10.550,all P=0.00).The CI of the control group and the observation group was higher than before treatment(t=16.050,34.124,all P=0.00),the SVRI were higher than those of before treatment(t=60.357,68.434,all P=0.00),the ELVWI were lower than those of before treatment(t=4.523,8.013,all P=0.00),the CI,SVRI,ELVWI of the observation group were improved more significantly than those of the control group(t=13.176,12.483,2.100,all P=0.00).Conclusion Dopamine combined with norepinephrine can improve the vital signs of patients with severe septic shock,reduce the concentration of lactate in blood,improve the level of inflammatory factors,and heart index.However,due to the subjective factors such as the size of the subject,the lack of research,the future study can increase the sample size to demonstrate the above speculation.
