J Crit Care 2023; 75:154263. [PMID: 36738632 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2023.154263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the effects of high respiratory effort(HRE) on spleen, kidney, intestine, and peripheral perfusion in patients with respiratory failure during mechanical ventilation. METHODS HRE was defined as a pressure muscle index (PMI) > 6 cmH2O and airway pressure swing during occlusion (ΔPOCC) > 10 cmH2O. Capillary refill time(CRT) and peripheral perfusion index (PPI) were determined when HRE occurred. The resistance indices of the snuffbox, intestine, spleen, and kidney were measured using Doppler ultrasonography simultaneously. These parameters were re-measured when the patients had normal respiratory effort (NRE) following sedation and analgesia. RESULTS A total of 33 critically ill patients were enrolled in this prospective observational study. There was a significant increase in CRT (p = 0.0345) and PPI (p < 0.0001) from HRE to NRE; meanwhile, the resistance index of the snuffbox artery decreased (p < 0.0001). Regarding splanchnic perfusion indicators, all resistance indices of the superior mesenteric artery (p = 0.0002), spleen (p < 0.0001), and kidney (p < 0.0001) decreased significantly when the patient changed from HRE status to NRE. CONCLUSIONS HRE could decrease perfusion of peripheral tissues and splanchnic organs. The status of HRE should be avoided to protect splanchnic and peripheral organs in mechanically ventilated patients.

Front Surg 2023; 9:1049753. [PMID: 36684265 PMCID: PMC9852328 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.1049753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study examined whether alterations in Doppler parameters of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) are associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery. Methods Hemodynamic and SMA Doppler parameters were collected at intensive care unit(ICU) admission. The duration of mechanical ventilation was monitored. PMV was defined as mechanical ventilation ≥96 h. Results A total of 132 patients admitted to ICU after cardiac valve surgery were evaluated for enrollment, of whom 105 were included. Patients were assigned to the control (n = 63) and PMV (n = 42) groups according to the mechanical ventilation duration. The pulsatility index(SMA-PI) and resistive index of SMA (SMA-RI) were 3.97 ± 0.77 and 0.88 (0.84-0.90) in the PMV group after cardiac valve surgery, which was lower than the SMA-PI (2.95 ± 0.71, p < 0.0001) and SMA-RI of controls (0.8, 0.77-0.88, p < 0.0001). SMA-PI at admission had favorable prognostic significance for PMV (AUC = 0.837, p < 0.0001). Conclusions An elevated SMA-PI is common in patients after cardiac valve surgery with PMV. Increased SMA-PI could help predict PMV after cardiac valve surgery. Using point-of-care ultrasound to measure SMA-PI at ICU admission is an acceptable and reproducible method for identifying patients with PMV.

Risk factors for the prognosis of patients with sepsis in intensive care units. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0273377. [PMID: 36067189 PMCID: PMC9447880 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0273377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and purpose To date, sepsis remains the main cause of mortality in intensive care units (ICU). This study aimed analyze the risk factors of the prognosis in sepsis patients. Methods In this case-control study, patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit of a Chinese hospital between January and November 2020 were analyzed. Ultrasound and clinical data were analyzed and compared between non-survivors and survivors. The ROC curve analysis was also performed to determine the best indicator for predicting mortality. Results A total of 72 patients with sepsis in ICU were included for analysis. The basic characteristics between the survivals and non-survivals were similar, except for acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score, sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, lactate level, ultrasound parameters from superior mesenteric artery (SMA) such as peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV) and resistive index (RI). Univariate analysis revealed that the APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, lactate, low PSV, EDV, and RI were potential risk factors for mortality in sepsis, while multivariate analysis suggested that low PSV was an independent risk factor for mortality, and the adjusted odds ratio was 0.295 (95% CI: 0.094–0.925). The ROC analysis showed that the PSV (AUC = 0.99; sensitivity and specificity were 0.99 and 0.96, respectively) had good predictive value for mortality in sepsis. Conclusion Low PSV as found to be an independent risk factor and good predictor for mortality in patients with sepsis. This study shows the promise of ultrasound in predicting mortality in patients with sepsis; however, further studies are needed to validate these results.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:762376. [PMID: 34901079 PMCID: PMC8651699 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.762376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to measure blood flow changes in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), using Doppler ultrasound, in post-cardiac surgery patients, to evaluate the correlation between the SMA resistance index (SMA-RI) and lactate concentrations. Methods: The patients' basic hemodynamics, blood gas parameters and lactate concentration were collected at admission. Simultaneously, the SMA blood flow parameters were collected using Doppler ultrasound with the patients in the supine position. The lactate concentrations were measured again at 2, 6, and 12-h time points after the first test. The length of intensive care unit stays and prognoses continued to be monitored. Results: A total of 67 patients were included. The SMA-RI correlated with the admission (r = 0.3117, P = 0.0102), 2-h (r = 0.5091, P < 0.0001), 6-h (r = 0.5061, P < 0.0001), and 12-h (r = 0.2483, P = 0.0428) lactate concentrations. The SMA-RI could predict the 2-h 10% [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.8294, P < 0.0001] and 6-h 40% lactate kinetics (AUC = 0.7708, P = 0.0012). The cut-off value was 0.83. When the SMA-RI was <0.83, the specificity and sensitivity were 86.38 and 75.56%, respectively for the prediction of the 2-h >10% lactate kinetics, and 64.71 and 75.00%, respectively, for the prediction of the 6-h >40% lactate kinetics. The lactate concentrations at admission, 2 and 6-h points were higher in the high-RI group (RI ≥ 0.83) and the intensive care unit stays were significantly longer than in the low-RI group (P = 0.0005). Conclusions: The increase in SMA-RI was associated with higher lactate concentrations and worse lactate kinetics in post-cardiac surgery patients. This may be related to intestinal hypoperfusion. The SMA-RI may be one of the indicators that should be monitored to guide resuscitation in these patients.

Abstract
Background: Postprandial hypotension (PPH) is an independent predictive factor of all-cause mortality in older people. Drug management has not achieved a satisfactory effect yet. In recent years, many studies have found that acarbose may be effective in the treatment of PPH with glucose metabolism disorders. Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of acarbose on PPH with glucose metabolism disorders. Methods: PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane, EMBASE, Web of Science, Clinical Trials, and relevant Chinese databases were searched from inception to October 1, 2020. Randomized controlled studies of acarbose in the treatment of PPH with glucose metabolism disorders were included. Review Manager 5.3 software was used for quality evaluation and meta-analysis. GRADEpro GDT software was used to GRADE the evidence for the research objectives. Results: A total of 4 randomized controlled studies including 202 participants were identified after screening. The meta-analysis showed that acarbose significantly attenuated the decrease in postprandial systolic blood pressure [weighted mean difference (MD): −9.84, 95% CI: −13.34 to −6.33], diastolic blood pressure (MD: −6.86, 95% CI: −12.89 to −0.83), and mean arterial pressure (MD: −8.10, 95% CI: −12.40 to −3.49) compared with the control group. One study reported a case of adverse reactions that included mild abdominal distension in the acarbose group (4.8%, 1/21). No adverse reactions were reported in the other three studies. Conclusion: Acarbose may attenuate the decrease in postprandial blood pressure and avoid the occurrence of PPH in patients with PPH and abnormal glucose metabolism disorders. More clinical trials are needed to make a clear conclusion. Registration: PROSPERO CRD42020171335.

Abstract
Objective To assess the prevalence of and risk factors for postprandial hypotension (PPH) among old and very old Chinese men. Methods The study included 349 Chinese men aged 65 and older, grouped into two age categories: group 1 (old) included 163 men aged 65 to 80 years; group 2 (very old) included 186 men aged over 80 years. Blood pressure changes after meals were assessed every 15 min by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Symptoms after meal ingestion and after standing up and changes in the baseline condition relative to blood pressure changes were observed continuously. Additional baseline data included body mass index, medical history, and medication use. Results The prevalence of PPH was 59.3% overall and was significantly higher in group 2 than group 1 (63.4% vs. 54.6%, P < 0.05). In group 2, the prevalence of PPH after breakfast (33.8%) and lunch (32.1%) were higher than that after supper (20.9%), P < 0.05. Hypertension and age were significant risk factors for PPH (OR = 2.188, 95% CI: 1.134−4.223, P = 0.02; OR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.112−3.11, P = 0.018, respectively). In contrast, acarbose use was protective against PPH (OR = 0.4, 95% CI: 0.189−0.847, P = 0.017). The decrease in blood pressure during PPH was 20−40 mmHg and the maximum was 90 mmHg. PPH usually occurred at 30−60 min after a meal and lasted 30−120 min. Conclusions These findings demonstrate that the prevalence of PPH in men aged over 80 years is significantly higher than those in men aged 65 to 80 years, and the blood pressure decline is also higher for men aged over 80 years. In addition, hypertension and age were main risk factors for PPH in the older men, which suggest that preventing and treating PPH is worthwhile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postprandial hypotension (PPH) is an important clinical problem, which has received inappropriately little attention. METHODS A systematic search of the databases PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Knowledge, from their inception to the present time, was conducted to identify studies relevant to the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and/or management of PPH. RESULTS A total of 417 full-text papers were retrieved from database searching and, following screening, 248 were retained. Of these, 167 papers were considered eligible for inclusion. CONCLUSIONS PPH occurs commonly in older people and represents a major cause of morbidity. Although the pathophysiology of PPH remains poorly defined, diverse factors, including impairments in sympathetic and baroreflex function, release of vasodilatory peptides, the rate of small intestinal nutrient delivery, gastric distension, and splanchnic blood pooling, appear important. Current pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management is suboptimal. Research into the pathophysiology of PPH represents a priority so that management can be targeted more effectively.

Abstract
Increased incidence of orthostatic hypotension and presyncopal symptoms in young women could be related to hormonal factors that might be isolated by comparing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular responses to postural change in young and older men and women. Seven young women, 11 young men, 10 older women (>1 yr postmenopausal, no hormone therapy), and 9 older men participated in a supine-to-sit-to-stand test while measuring systemic hemodynamics, end-tidal Pco2, and blood flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Women had a greater reduction in stroke volume index compared with age-matched men (change from supine to standing: young women: −22.9 ± 1.6 ml/m2; young men: −14.4 ± 2.4 ml/m2; older women: −17.4 ± 3.3 ml/m2; older men: −13.8 ± 2.2 ml/m2). This was accompanied by offsetting changes in heart rate, particularly in young women, resulting in no age or sex differences in cardiac output index. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was higher in older subjects and increased with movement to upright postures. Younger men and women had higher forearm vascular resistance that increased progressively in the upright posture compared with older men and women. There was no difference between sexes or ages in total peripheral resistance index. Women had higher MCA velocity, but both sexes had reduced MCA velocity while upright, which was a function of reduced blood pressure at the MCA and a significant reduction in end-tidal Pco2. The reductions in stroke volume index suggested impaired venous return in women, but augmented responses of heart rate and forearm vascular resistance protected MAP in younger women. Overall, these results showed significant sex and age-related differences, but compensatory mechanisms preserved MAP and MCA velocity in young women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MR elastography (MRE) is an MRI-based technique for quantitatively assessing tissue stiffness by studying shear wave propagation through tissue. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that hepatic MRE performed before and after a meal will result in a postprandial increase in hepatic stiffness among patients with hepatic fibrosis because of transiently increased portal pressure. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty healthy volunteers and 25 patients with biopsyproven hepatic fibrosis were evaluated. Preprandial MRE measurements were performed after overnight fasting. A liquid test meal was administered, and 30 minutes later a postprandial MRE acquisition was performed. Identical imaging parameters and analysis regions of interest were used for pre- and postprandial acquisitions. RESULTS The results in the 20 subjects without liver disease showed a mean stiffness change of 0.16 ± 0.20 kPa (range, -0.12 to 0.78 kPa) or 8.08% ± 10.33% (range, -5.36% to 41.7%). The hepatic stiffness obtained in the 25 patients with hepatic fibrosis showed a statistically significant increase in postprandial liver stiffness, with mean augmentation of 0.89 ± 0.96 kPa (range, 0.17-4.15 kPa) or 21.24% ± 14.98% (range, 7.69%-63.3%). CONCLUSION MRE-assessed hepatic stiffness elevation in patients with chronic liver disease has two major components: a static component reflecting structural change or fibrosis and a dynamic component reflecting portal pressure that can increase after a meal. These findings will provide motivation for further studies to determine the potential value of assessing postprandial hepatic stiffness augmentation for predicting the progression of fibrotic disease and the development of portal hypertension. The technique may also provide new insights into the natural history and pathophysiology of chronic liver disease.
