    Persistently high venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide differences during early resuscitation are associated with poor outcomes in septic shock
    (BioMed Central, 2013-12-01) Arango Dávila, César Augusto
    Venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (Pv-aCO2) may reflect the adequacy of blood flow during shock states. We sought to test whether the development of Pv-aCO2 during the very early phases of resuscitation is related to multi-organ dysfunction and outcomes in a population of septic shock patients resuscitated targeting the usual oxygen-derived and hemodynamic parameters.

    Should microcirculation monitoring be used to guide fluid resuscitation in severe sepsis and septic shock?
    (Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira - AMIB, 2015-04-01) Ospina Tascón, Gustavo Adolfo
    Tissue hypoperfusion and subsequent limited oxygen transport are critical features conducting to organ failure during shock states. Therefore, early identification of tissue hypoperfusion and adequate resuscitation are key for improving the probability of survival after septic shock. (1,2) However, how to identify organ perfusion abnormalities at the bedside and select the type and amount of fluids required to improve tissue hypoxia remain highly controversial. Traditionally, clinical signs, such as reduced blood pressure and urinary output, altered consciousness, and mottled skin, have been used to identify tissue perfusion abnormalities.

    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
