Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes current literature about the relationships between macro and microcirculation and their practical clinical implications in children with septic shock. RECENT FINDINGS Current evidence from experimental and clinical observational studies in children and adults with septic shock reveals that the response to treatment and resuscitation is widely variable. Furthermore, there is a loss of hemodynamic coherence, as resuscitation-induced improvement in macrocirculation (systemic hemodynamic parameters) does not necessarily result in a parallel improvement in the microcirculation. Therefore, patient-tailored monitoring is essential in order to adjust treatment requirements during resuscitation in septic shock. Optimal monitoring must integrate macrocirculation (heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, and ultrasound images), microcirculation (videomicroscopy parameters and capillary refill time) and cellular metabolism (lactic acid, central venous blood oxygen saturation, and difference of central venous to arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure). SUMMARY There is a dire need for high-quality studies to assess the relationships between macrocirculation, microcirculation and tissue metabolism in children with septic shock. The development of reliable and readily available microcirculation and tissue perfusion biomarkers (other than lactic acid) is also necessary to improve monitoring and treatment adjustment in such patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to describe the variation of hemostasis proteins in children with bacterial infections due to different pathogens ( Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus , and group A streptococcus [GAS]) and to study hemostasis proteins in relation to mortality. DESIGN Preplanned analysis in prospective cohort study. SETTING Hospitals in five European countries (Austria, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom). PATIENTS Admitted children (2012-2016) with community-acquired infections due to meningococci ( n = 83), pneumococci ( n = 64), S. aureus (n = 50), and GAS ( n = 44) with available serum samples collected less than 48 hours after admission. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Fibronectin, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), thrombomodulin, and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS-13) were measured in serum in 2019-2020. Additionally, von Willebrand factor, protein C, protein S, and factor IX were measured in citrate plasma available from a subset of patients. Outcome measures included in-hospital mortality and disease severity (need for ventilation/inotropes, Pediatric Index of Mortality score).Of 241 children, 21 (8.7%) died and 177 (73.5%) were admitted to PICU. Mortality rate was similar for the pathogen groups. Levels of fibronectin and thrombomodulin differed for the different pathogens ( p < 0.05). Fibronectin levels were lower in GAS infections than in S. pneumoniae and S. aureus infections but did not differ from meningococcal infections. Thrombomodulin levels in meningococcal infections were higher than in S. aureus and pneumococcal infections. Overall, the area under the curve for mortality was 0.81 (95% CI, 0.70-0.92) for thrombomodulin and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.69-0.88) for ADAMTS-13. The association of each hemostasis protein did not vary across pathogens for any of the outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS Hemostatic disturbances in childhood bacterial infections are not limited to meningococcal sepsis but occur with a comparable severity across nonmeningococcal infections. High thrombomodulin and high ADAMTS-13 had good discriminative ability for mortality. Our results emphasize the importance of hemostatic disturbances in meningococcal and nonmeningococcal pediatric bacterial infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral hypoperfusion and impaired oxygen delivery during pediatric critical illness may result in acute neurologic injury with subsequent long-term effects on neurodevelopmental outcome. Yet, the impact of norepinephrine on cerebral hemodynamics is unknown in children with shock. We aimed to describe the norepinephrine effects on cerebral perfusion and oxygenation during pediatric shock. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted an observational multicentre prospective study in 3 French pediatric intensive care units. Children <18 years of age excluding traumatic brain injury were included in the study if they need norepinephrine for shock. Systemic and cerebral hemodynamics were compared between the time of initiation of norepinephrine (T0), and the steady-state (Tss). Cardiac output (CO) was measured using ultrasound. Cerebral perfusion was assessed on middle cerebral arteries (MCA) using transcranial doppler ultrasound. Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rScO2) was recorded using near infrared spectroscopy, and we calculated cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (cFTOE = SpO2-rScO2/SpO2). MAIN RESULTS Fourteen children (median [IQR] age of 3.5[1; 13.5] years) were included. Norepinephrine at 0.2[0.1; 0.32] μg/kg/min significantly increased mean arterial blood pressure (61[56; 73] mmHg at Tss vs. 49[42;54] mmHg at T0, p=10-3) without change of CO. MCA velocities, pulsatility index, rScO2, and cFTOE did not significantly change between T0 and Tss. Some individuals observed variations in estimated CBF, which slightly improved in 7 patients, remained unchanged in 5, and was impaired in 2. No patient experienced significant variations of rScO2. CONCLUSIONS Low-dosing norepinephrine, despite a homogeneous and significant increase in arterial blood pressure, had little effects on cerebral perfusion and oxygenation during pediatric shock. This reinforces the need for personalized tailored therapies in this population. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03731104.

Visualization of three-dimensional microcirculation of rodents' retina and choroid for studies of critical illness using optical coherence tomography angiography. Sci Rep 2021; 11:14302.

Abstract
We developed a method to measure the relative blood flow speed using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in retina and choroid, and investigated the feasibility of this method for assessing microcirculatory function in rat models of sepsis and hemorrhagic shock. Two sepsis models, 6-h severe sepsis without treatment and 30-h moderate sepsis maintaining mean arterial pressure, and volume controlled hemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation model were used to see the change of microcirculation. The blood flow index (BFI), which was calculated from the OCTA images to represent the average relative blood flow, was decreasing during the 6-h severe sepsis model. Its change is in parallel with the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and blood lactate levels. In the 30-h moderate sepsis model, the BFI was decreased while maintaining MAP, and lactate was increased. In the hemorrhagic shock model, the change of BFI is in line with MAP and lactate levels. In all models, BFI change is more sensitive in choroid than in retina. This study presents the OCTA-based retinal and choroidal microcirculatory blood flow monitoring method and shows its utility for assessment of critical illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular instability is common in critically ill children. There is a scarcity of published high-quality studies to develop meaningful evidence-based hemodynamic monitoring guidelines and hence, with the exception of management of shock, currently there are no published guidelines for hemodynamic monitoring in children. The European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) Cardiovascular Dynamics section aimed to provide expert consensus recommendations on hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill children. METHODS Creation of a panel of experts in cardiovascular hemodynamic assessment and hemodynamic monitoring and review of relevant literature-a literature search was performed, and recommendations were developed through discussions managed following a Quaker-based consensus technique and evaluating appropriateness using a modified blind RAND/UCLA voting method. The AGREE statement was followed to prepare this document. RESULTS Of 100 suggested recommendations across 12 subgroups concerning hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill children, 72 reached "strong agreement," 20 "weak agreement," and 2 had "no agreement." Six statements were considered as redundant after rephrasing of statements following the first round of voting. The agreed 72 recommendations were then coalesced into 36 detailing four key areas of hemodynamic monitoring in the main manuscript. Due to a lack of published evidence to develop evidence-based guidelines, most of the recommendations are based upon expert consensus. CONCLUSIONS These expert consensus-based recommendations may be used to guide clinical practice for hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill children, and they may serve as a basis for highlighting gaps in the knowledge base to guide further research in hemodynamic monitoring.

Relevance of Microvascular Flow Assessments in Critically Ill Neonates and Children: A Systematic Review. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2020; 21:373-384.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Resolution of impaired microvascular flow may lag the normalization of macrocirculatory variables. The significance of microcirculatory dysfunction in critically ill children and neonates is unknown, but microcirculatory variables can be measured using Doppler or videomicroscopy imaging techniques. We outline the current understanding of the role of the microcirculation in critical illness, review methods for its assessment, and perform a systematic review of how it has been monitored in critically ill neonates and children. DESIGN Systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42019117993). SETTING Not applicable. SUBJECTS Not applicable. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science. We included studies of critically ill patients 0 to 18 years old investigating microcirculatory blood flow. Two reviewers analyzed abstracts and articles. Results were qualitatively analyzed due to study heterogeneity. A total of 2,559 abstracts met search criteria, of which 94 underwent full-text review. Of those, 36 met inclusion criteria. Seven studies investigated microcirculatory changes in critically ill children. Twenty studies investigated the microcirculatory changes in neonates with variable diagnoses compared with a diverse set of clinical endpoints. Nine studies assessed the effects of age, sex, and birth weight on microvascular flow in neonates. Across all studies, microcirculatory dysfunction was associated with poor outcomes and may not correlate with observed macrovascular function. CONCLUSIONS Assessment of microvascular flow in critically ill children and neonates is possible, although significant challenges remain. In many such patients, microvascular blood flow is disrupted despite medical management targeting normalized macrovascular variables. Future studies are needed to define normal pediatric microvascular flow variables and to assess the impact of patient and treatment factors on its function.

Abstract
Microcirculatory disorders are crucial in pathophysiology of organ dysfunction in critical illness. Evaluation of sublingual microcirculation is not routinely conducted in daily practice due to time-consuming analysis and susceptibility to artifacts. We investigated the suitability of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) for contactless evaluation of sublingual microcirculation. Sublingual microcirculation was imaged in 10 healthy volunteers, using an OCTA device and an incident dark field (IDF) illumination microscopy (current gold standard). OCTA images were analyzed with regard to flow density and perfused vessel density (PVDbyOCTA). IDF videos were analyzed following current recommendations. Flow density was automatically extracted from OCTA images (whole en face 48.9% [43.2; 54.5]; central ring 52.6% [43.6; 60.6]). PVDbyOCTA did not differ from the PVD calculated from IDF videos (PVDbyOCTA 18.6 mm/mm² [18.0; 21.7]) vs. PVDbyIDF 21.0 mm/mm² [17.5; 22.9]; p = 0.430). Analysis according to Bland-Altman revealed a mean bias of 0.95 mm/mm² (95% Confidence interval −1.34 to 3.25) between PVDbyOCTA and PVDbyIDF with limits of agreement of −5.34 to 7.24 mm/mm². This study is the first to demonstrate the suitability of OCTA for evaluating sublingual microcirculation. Comparison of the perfused vessel density between methods showed a plausible level of agreement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) for quantitative analysis of flow density to assess changes in retinal perfusion in an experimental model of haemorrhagic shock. METHODS Haemorrhagic shock was induced in five healthy, anaesthetized sheep by stepwise blood withdrawal of 3 × 10 ml∙kg- 1 body weight. OCT-A imaging of retinal perfusion was performed using an OCT device. Incident dark-field illumination microscopy videos were obtained for the evaluation of conjunctival microcirculation. Haemodynamic variables and flow density data in the OCT angiogram were analysed before and during progressive haemorrhage resulting in haemorrhagic shock as well as after fluid resuscitation with 10 ml∙kg- 1 body weight of balanced hydroxyethyl starch solution (6% HES 130/0.4). Videos of the conjunctival microcirculation were recorded at baseline, in haemorrhagic shock, and after resuscitation. Data are presented as median with interquartile range. Comparisons between time points were made using Friedman's test and the degree of correlation between two variables was expressed as Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. RESULTS Mean arterial pressure and cardiac index (CI) decreased and lactate concentration increased after induction of shock, and haemodynamics recovered after resuscitation. The flow density in the superficial retinal OCT angiogram decreased significantly after shock induction (baseline 44.7% (40.3; 50.5) vs haemorrhagic shock 34.5% (32.8; 40.4); P = 0.027) and recovered after fluid resuscitation (46.9% (41.7; 50.7) vs haemorrhagic shock; P = 0.027). The proportion of perfused vessels of the conjunctival microcirculation showed similar changes. The flow density measured using OCT-A correlated with the conjunctival microcirculation (perfused vessel density: Spearman's rank correlation coefficient ρ = 0.750, P = 0.001) and haemodynamic parameters (CI: ρ = 0.693, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Retinal flow density, measured using OCT-A, significantly decreased in shock and recovered after fluid therapy in an experimental model of haemorrhagic shock. OCT-A is feasible to assess changes in retinal perfusion in haemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Monitoring of the macrocirculation during surgery provides limited information on the quality of organ perfusion. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the feasibility of perioperative microcirculatory measurements in children. METHODS: Sublingual microvessels were visualized by handheld videomicroscopy in 11 children (19 mo – 10 yrs) undergoing surgery > 120 min at four time points: T0) after induction of anesthesia; T1) before end of anesthesia, T2) 6 h post surgery and T3) 24 h post surgery. RESULTS: Measurements were feasible in all children at T0 and T1. At T2 and T3, imaging was restricted to 6 and 4 infants, respectively, due to respiratory compromise and missing cooperation. The capillary density was reduced at T1 compared to T0 (8.1 mm/mm2 [4.0-17.0] vs. 10.6 mm/mm2 [5.1-19.3]; p = 0.01), and inversely related to norepinephrine dose (Pearson r = -0.65; p = 0.04). Microvascular flow and serum glycocalyx makers Syndecan-1 and Hyaluronan increased significantly from T0 to T1. CONCLUSION: Perioperative microcirculatory monitoring in children requires a high amount of personal and logistic resources still limiting its routine use. Major surgery is associated with microvascular alterations and glycocalyx perturbation. The possible consequences on patient outcome need further evaluation. Efforts should concentrate on the development of next generation devices designed to facilitate microcirculatory monitoring in children.

Abstract
Endothelial cells (ECs) line the lumen of the entire vascular system and actively regulate blood flow; maintain blood fluidity; control water, solute, and macromolecular transfer between blood and tissue; and modulate circulating immune cell recruitment and activation. These vital functions, combined with the broad anatomic distribution of ECs, implicate them in all forms of critical illness. The present article discusses how ECs adapt and break down during the course of critical illness. We first review the biology of ECs, highlighting the vascular segmental differences and their specific roles in the maintenance of homeostasis. We then discuss how ECs acquire new functions to restore local and systemic homeostasis (activation) as well as how breakdowns in EC functions (dysfunction) contribute to local and systemic pathologic responses, with clinical correlations. Lastly, how these processes have been studied in critically ill children is discussed.
