    Effects of dexmedetomidine and esmolol on systemic hemodynamics and exogenous lactate clearance in early experimental septic shock
    (BioMed Central, 2016-08-02) Tapia, Pablo J.
    Persistent hyperlactatemia during septic shock is multifactorial. Hypoperfusion-related anaerobic production and adrenergic-driven aerobic generation together with impaired lactate clearance have been implicated. An excessive adrenergic response could contribute to persistent hyperlactatemia and adrenergic modulation might be beneficial. We assessed the effects of dexmedetomidine and esmolol on hemodynamics, lactate generation, and exogenous lactate clearance during endotoxin-induced septic shock. Methods: Eighteen anesthetized and mechanically ventilated sheep were subjected to a multimodal hemodynamic/perfusion assessment including hepatic and portal vein catheterizations, total hepatic blood flow, and muscle microdialysis. After monitoring, all received a bolus and continuous infusion of endotoxin. After 1 h they were volume resuscitated, and then randomized to endotoxin-control, endotoxin-dexmedetomidine (sequential doses of 0.5 and 1.0 μg/k/h) or endotoxin-esmolol (titrated to decrease basal heart rate by 20 %) groups. Samples were taken at four time points, and exogenous lactate clearance using an intravenous administration of sodium L-lactate (1 mmol/kg) was performed at the end of the experiments

    Combination of arterial lactate levels and venous-arterial CO2 to arterial-venous O2 content difference ratio as markers of resuscitation in patients with septic shock
    (Springer Verlag, 2015-05-01) Arango Dávila, César Augusto
    Purpose. To evaluate the prognostic value of the Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 ratio combined with lactate levels during the early phases of resuscitation in septic shock. Methods. Prospective observational study in a 60-bed mixed ICU. One hundred and thirty-five patients with septic shock were included. The resuscitation protocol targeted mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure variations or central venous pressure, mixed venous oxygen saturation, and lactate levels. Patients were classified into four groups according to lactate levels and Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 ratio at 6 h of resuscitation (T6): group 1, lactate ≥2.0 mmol/L and Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 >1.0; group 2, lactate ≥2.0 mmol/L and Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 ≤1.0; group 3, lactate <2.0 mmol/L and Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 >1.0; and group 4, lactate <2.0 mmol/L and Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 ≤1.0.
