[PMID: 38261027 PMCID: PMC10954998 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-024-02377-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices may stabilize patients with severe cardiogenic shock (CS) following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the canonical understanding of hemodynamics related to the determination of the native cardiac output (CO) does not explain or support the understanding of combined left and right MCS. To ensure the most optimal therapy control, the current principles of hemodynamic measurements during biventricular support should be re-evaluated. METHODS Here we report a protocol of hemodynamic optimization strategy during biventricular MCS (VA-ECMO and left ventricular Impella) in a case series of 10 consecutive patients with severe cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction. During the protocol, the flow rates of both devices were switched in opposing directions (+ / - 0.7 l/min) for specified times. To address the limitations of existing hemodynamic measurement strategies during biventricular support, different measurement techniques (thermodilution, Fick principle, mixed venous oxygen saturation) were performed by pulmonary artery catheterization. Additionally, Doppler ultrasound was performed to determine the renal resistive index (RRI) as an indicator of renal perfusion. RESULTS The comparison between condition 1 (ECMO flow > Impella flow) and condition 2 (Impella flow > VA-ECMO flow) revealed significant changes in hemodynamics. In detail, compared to condition 1, condition 2 results in a significant increase in cardiac output (3.86 ± 1.11 vs. 5.44 ± 1.13 l/min, p = 0.005) and cardiac index (2.04 ± 0.64 vs. 2.85 ± 0.69, p = 0.013), and mixed venous oxygen saturation (56.44 ± 6.97% vs. 62.02 ± 5.64% p = 0.049), whereas systemic vascular resistance decreased from 1618 ± 337 to 1086 ± 306 s*cm-5 (p = 0.002). Similarly, RRI decreased in condition 2 (0.662 ± 0.05 vs. 0.578 ± 0.06, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS To monitor and optimize MCS in CS, PA catheterization for hemodynamic measurement is applicable. Higher Impella flow is superior to higher VA-ECMO flow resulting in a more profound increase in CO with subsequent improvement of organ perfusion.

J Crit Care 2023; 75:154263.

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.

Renal Protection and Hemodynamic Improvement by Impella ® Microaxial Pump in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11226817. [PMID: 36431294 PMCID: PMC9698353 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11226817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute kidney injury is one of the most frequent and prognostically relevant complications in cardiogenic shock. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential effect of the Impella® pump on hemodynamics and renal organ perfusion in patients with myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock. Between January 2020 and February 2022 patients with infarct-related cardiogenic shock supported with the Impella® pump were included in this single-center prospective short-term study. Changes in hemodynamics on different levels of Impella® support were documented with invasive pulmonal arterial catheter. As far as renal function is concerned, renal perfusion was assessed by determining the renal resistive index (RRI) using Doppler sonography. A total of 50 patients were included in the analysis. The increase in the Impella® output by a mean of 1.0 L/min improved the cardiac index (2.7 ± 0.86 to 3.3 ± 1.1 p < 0.001) and increased central venous oxygen saturation (62.6 ± 11.8% to 67.4 ± 10.5% p < 0.001). On the other side, the systemic vascular resistance (1035 ± 514 N·s/m5 to 902 ± 371 N·s/m5p = 0.012) and the RRI were significantly reduced (0.736 ± 0.07 to 0.62 ± 0.07 p < 0.001). Furthermore, in the overall cohort, a baseline RRI ≥ 0.8 was associated with a higher frequency of renal replacement therapy (71% vs. 39% p = 0.04), whereas the consequent reduction of the RRI below 0.7 during Impella® support improved the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) during hospital stay (15 ± 3 days; 53 ± 16 mL/min to 83 ± 16 mL/min p = 0.04). Impella® support in patients with cardiogenic shock seems to improve hemodynamics and renal organ perfusion. The RRI, a well-known parameter for the early detection of acute kidney injury, can be directly influenced by the Impella® flow rate. Thus, a targeted control of the RRI by the Impella® pump could mediate renal organ protection.
