Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with an increased risk of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare expenditure, posing a major challenge in clinical practice, and affecting about 50% of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), particularly the elderly and those with pre-existing chronic comorbidities. In health, intra-renal blood flow is maintained and auto-regulated within a wide range of renal perfusion pressures (60-100 mmHg), mediated predominantly through changes in pre-glomerular vascular tone of the afferent arteriole in response to changes of the intratubular NaCl concentration, i.e. tubuloglomerular feedback. Several neurohormonal processes contribute to regulation of the renal microcirculation, including the sympathetic nervous system, vasodilators such as nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2, and vasoconstrictors such as endothelin, angiotensin II and adenosine. The most common risk factors for AKI include volume depletion, haemodynamic instability, inflammation, nephrotoxic exposure and mitochondrial dysfunction. Fluid management is an essential component of AKI prevention and management. While traditional approaches emphasize fluid resuscitation to ensure renal perfusion, recent evidence urges caution against excessive fluid administration, given AKI patients' susceptibility to volume overload. This review examines the main characteristics of AKI in ICU patients and provides guidance on fluid management, use of biomarkers, and pharmacological strategies.

The Ability of Military Critical Care Air Transport Members to Visually Estimate Percent Systolic Pressure Variation. Mil Med 2024; 189:1514-1522. [PMID: 37489875 DOI: 10.1093/milmed/usad281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inappropriate fluid management during patient transport may lead to casualty morbidity. Percent systolic pressure variation (%SPV) is one of several technologies that perform a dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness (FT-DYN). Trained anesthesia providers can visually estimate and use %SPV to limit the incidence of erroneous volume management decisions to 1-4%. However, the accuracy of visually estimated %SPV by other specialties is unknown. The aim of this article is to determine the accuracy of estimated %SPV and the incidence of erroneous volume management decisions for Critical Care Air Transport (CCAT) team members before and after training to visually estimate and utilize %SPV. MATERIAL AND METHODS In one sitting, CCAT team providers received didactics defining %SPV and indicators of fluid responsiveness and treatment with %SPV ≤7 and ≥14.5 defining a fluid nonresponsive and responsive patient, respectively; they were then shown ten 45-second training arterial waveforms on a simulated Propaq M portable monitor's screen. Study subjects were asked to visually estimate %SPV for each arterial waveform and queried whether they would treat with a fluid bolus. After each training simulation, they were told the true %SPV. Seven days post-training, the subjects were shown a different set of ten 45-second testing simulations and asked to estimate %SPV and choose to treat, or not. Nonparametric limits of agreement for differences between true and estimated %SPV were analyzed using Bland-Altman graphs. In addition, three errors were defined: (1) %SPV visual estimate errors that would label a volume responsive patient as nonresponsive, or vice versa; (2) incorrect treatment decisions based on estimated %SPV (algorithm application errors); and (3) incorrect treatment decisions based on true %SPV (clinically significant treatment errors). For the training and testing simulations, these error rates were compared between, and within, provider groups. RESULTS Sixty-one physicians (MDs), 64 registered nurses (RNs), and 53 respiratory technicians (RTs) participated in the study. For testing simulations, the incidence and 95% CI for %SPV estimate errors with sufficient magnitude to result in a treatment error were 1.4% (0.5%, 3.2%), 1.6% (0.6%, 3.4%), and 4.1% (2.2%, 6.9%) for MDs, RNs, and RTs, respectively. However, clinically significant treatment errors were statistically more common for all provider types, occurring at a rate of 7%, 10%, and 23% (all P < .05). Finally, students did not show clinically relevant reductions in their errors between training and testing simulations. CONCLUSIONS Although most practitioners correctly visually estimated %SPV and all students completed the training in interpreting and applying %SPV, all groups persisted in making clinically significant treatment errors with moderate to high frequency. This suggests that the treatment errors were more often driven by misapplying FT-DYN algorithms rather than by inaccurate visual estimation of %SPV. Furthermore, these errors were not responsive to training, suggesting that a decision-making cognitive aid may improve CCAT teams' ability to apply FT-DYN technologies.

World J Crit Care Med 2024; 13:93206.

Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS), particularly venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) is emerging as a valuable bedside tool to gain real-time hemodynamic insights. This modality, derived from hepatic vein, portal vein, and intrarenal vessel Doppler patterns, offers a scoring system for dynamic venous congestion assessment. Such an assessment can be crucial in effective management of patients with heart failure exacerbation. It facilitates diagnosis, quantification of congestion, prognostication, and monitoring the efficacy of decongestive therapy. As such, it can effectively help to manage cardiorenal syndromes in various clinical settings. Extended or eVExUS explores additional veins, potentially broadening its applications. While VExUS demonstrates promising outcomes, challenges persist, particularly in cases involving renal and liver parenchymal disease, arrhythmias, and situations of pressure and volume overload overlap. Proficiency in utilizing spectral Doppler is pivotal for clinicians to effectively employ this tool. Hence, the integration of POCUS, especially advanced applications like VExUS, into routine clinical practice necessitates enhanced training across medical specialties.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: Systemic venous congestion, assessed by the venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score, has been associated with adverse effects, including acute kidney injury (AKI), in patients with cardiac disease. In general intensive care unit (ICU) patients, the association between VExUS score and outcomes is understudied. We aimed to investigate the association between the trajectory of VExUS score within the first 3 days of ICU admission and the composite clinical outcome of major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE30). Methods: In this prospective observational study, including patients consecutively admitted to the ICU, VExUS score was calculated within 24 h after ICU admission (day 1) and at 48 to 72 h (day 3). D-VExUS was calculated as the difference between the VExUS score on day 3 minus that on day 1. Development of AKI within 7 days and all-cause mortality within 30 days were recorded. Results: A total of 89 patients (62% men; median age, 62 years; median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, 24) were included. Sixty (67%) patients developed AKI within 7 days, and 17 (19%) patients died within 30 days after ICU admission. D-VExUS was associated with MAKE30, even after adjustment for confounders (hazard ratio, 2.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.17-3.66; P = 0.01). VExUS scores on days 1 or 3 were not associated with MAKE30. Also, VExUS scores on day 1 or on day 3 and D-VExUS were not associated with development of AKI or mortality. Conclusions: In a general ICU cohort, early trajectory of VExUS score, but not individual VExUS scores at different time points, was associated with the patient-centered MAKE30 outcome. Dynamic changes rather than snapshot measurements may unmask the adverse effects of systemic venous congestion on important clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evaluation and management of fluid balance are key challenges in critical care patients who require renal replacement therapies because cumulative fluid balance is an independent factor that increases morbidity and mortality in different clinical scenarios. SUMMARY One of the strategies when fluid overload is refractory to diuretics is extracorporeal fluid removal (i.e., net ultrafiltration [UFNET] during kidney replacement therapy). However, problems with UFNET without individualized assessment are cardiovascular events and intradialytic hypotension, events that contribute to decreasing organ perfusion and sympathetic stress. Therefore, we must consider and try to predict the best timing for the start of ultrafiltration and find the point where the patient is most tolerant to ultrafiltration, making a simile to the concept of fluid tolerance. KEY MESSAGES UFNET is a continuous and dynamic process, going through moments of tolerance and intolerance to ultrafiltration; as nephrologists, we must take the necessary measures to move through this period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload is an independent risk factor of mortality in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). However, the association between fluid status, as assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) or lung ultrasound, and survival in patients with AKI requiring CKRT has not been established. METHODS We analyzed 36 participants with sepsis-associated AKI who received CKRT at a tertiary hospital. The main exposures were volume surrogates: 1) overhydration normalized by extracellular water (OH/ECW, L/L) assessed by BIA, 2) the number of B-lines measured by lung ultrasound, and 3) weight change ([body weight at CKRT initiation - body weight at admission] × 100/body weight at admission). The primary outcome was the 28-day mortality. RESULTS Seventeen participants (47.2%) died within 28 days. There were no significant correlations between OH/ECW and weight change (R2 = 0.040, p = 0.24), number of B-lines and OH/ECW (R2 = 0.056, p = 0.16), or weight change and number of B-lines (R2 = 0.014, p = 0.49). Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that patients in the highest tertile of OH/ECW showed a significantly lower cumulative 28-day survival probability than the others (the lowest + middle tertiles). The survival probability of participants in the highest tertile of the number of B-lines or weight change did not differ from that of their counterparts. In a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model, the hazard ratio for the highest tertile of OH/ECW was 3.83 (95% confidence interval, 1.04-14.03). CONCLUSION Volume overload assessed using BIA (OH/ECW) was associated with the 28-day survival rate in patients with sepsis-associated AKI who received CKRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis remains the leading cause of mortality in critically ill patients, and mortality is increased when acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs. The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline recommends the implementation of supportive measures in patients at high risk for AKI. However, it remains unclear to what extent these nephroprotective measures are implemented in daily clinical practice in critically ill patients, especially those with high-risk exposures such as sepsis. METHODS We analyzed the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database to identify septic patients with and without AKI. The primary outcome of interest was the adherence to the KDIGO bundle consisting of avoidance of nephrotoxic agents, implementation of a functional hemodynamic monitoring, optimization of perfusion pressure and volume status, close monitoring of renal function, avoidance of hyperglycemia, and avoidance of radiocontrast agents. Secondary outcomes included the development of AKI, progression of AKI, the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT), mortality, and a composite end point consisting of progression of AKI and mortality within 7 days. RESULTS Our analysis included 34,679 patients with sepsis with 1.6% receiving the complete bundle (10% received 5, 42.3% 4, 35.4% 3, and 9.8% 2 bundle components). In 56.4%, nephrotoxic agents were avoided, and hemodynamic optimization was reached in 86.5%. Secondary end points were improved in patients with bundle adherence. Avoidance of nephrotoxic drugs and optimization of hemodynamics were significantly associated with lower rates of AKI and improved patient outcomes, including 30-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of the KDIGO bundle is poor in patients with sepsis but may be associated with improved outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence, patient features, risk factors and outcomes of surgery-associated postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) across different countries and health care systems is unclear. METHODS We conducted an international prospective, observational, multi-center study in 30 countries in patients undergoing major surgery (> 2-h duration and postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) or high dependency unit admission). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of PO-AKI within 72 h of surgery defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Secondary endpoints included PO-AKI severity and duration, use of renal replacement therapy (RRT), mortality, and ICU and hospital length of stay. RESULTS We studied 10,568 patients and 1945 (18.4%) developed PO-AKI (1236 (63.5%) KDIGO stage 1500 (25.7%) KDIGO stage 2209 (10.7%) KDIGO stage 3). In 33.8% PO-AKI was persistent, and 170/1945 (8.7%) of patients with PO-AKI received RRT in the ICU. Patients with PO-AKI had greater ICU (6.3% vs. 0.7%) and hospital (8.6% vs. 1.4%) mortality, and longer ICU (median 2 (Q1-Q3, 1-3) days vs. 3 (Q1-Q3, 1-6) days) and hospital length of stay (median 14 (Q1-Q3, 9-24) days vs. 10 (Q1-Q3, 7-17) days). Risk factors for PO-AKI included older age, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease), type, duration and urgency of surgery as well as intraoperative vasopressors, and aminoglycosides administration. CONCLUSION In a comprehensive multinational study, approximately one in five patients develop PO-AKI after major surgery. Increasing severity of PO-AKI is associated with a progressive increase in adverse outcomes. Our findings indicate that PO-AKI represents a significant burden for health care worldwide.

Abstract
Rationale: Bioimpedance may be a useful tool to guide fluid treatment and avoid organ dysfunction related to fluid overload. Objective: We examined the correlation between bioimpedance and organ dysfunction in patients with septic shock. Methods: Prospective observational study of adult intensive care unit patients fulfilling the sepsis-3 criteria. Bioimpedance was measured using a body composition monitor (BCM) and BioScan Touch i8 (MBS). We measured impedance at inclusion and after 24 h and reported the impedance, change in impedance, bioimpedance-derived fluid balance, and changes in bioimpedance-derived fluid balance. Organ markers on respiratory, circulatory, and kidney function and overall disease severity were ascertained on days 1-7. The effect of bioimpedance on the change in organ function was assessed by mixed effects linear models. We considered P < .01 as significant. Measurements and Main Results: Forty-nine patients were included. None of the single baseline measurements or derived fluid balances were associated with the course of organ dysfunction. Changes in impedance were associated with the course of overall disease severity (P < .001; with MBS), and with changes in noradrenaline dose (P < .001; with MBS) and fluid balance (P < .001; with BCM). The changes in bioimpedance-derived fluid balance were associated with changes in noradrenaline dose (P < .001; with BCM), cumulative fluid balances (P < .001; with MBS), and lactate concentrations (P < .001; with BCM). Conclusions: Changes in bioimpedance were correlated with the duration of overall organ failure, circulatory failure, and fluid status. Single measurements of bioimpedance were not associated with any changes in organ dysfunction.

Abstract
Lung transplantation volumes and survival rates continue to increase worldwide. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are common early postoperative complications that significantly affect short-term mortality and long-term outcomes. These conditions share overlapping risk factors and are driven, in part, by circulatory derangements. The prevalence of severe PGD is up to 20% and is the leading cause of early death. Patients with pulmonary hypertension are at a higher risk. Prevention and management are based on principles learned from acute lung injury of other causes. Targeting the lowest effective cardiac filling pressure will reduce alveolar edema formation in the setting of increased pulmonary capillary permeability. AKI is reported in up to one-half of lung transplant recipients and is strongly associated with one-year mortality as well as long-term chronic kidney disease. Optimization of renal perfusion is critical to reduce the incidence and severity of AKI. In this review, we highlight key early post-transplant pulmonary, circulatory, and renal perturbations and our center's management approach.

Abstract
Purpose Maintaining the proper fluid balance is a fundamental step in the management of hospitalized patients. The current study evaluated the impact of negative fluid balance on outcomes of patients with confirmed COVID-19. Methods We considered the negative fluid balance as a higher output fluid compared to the input fluid. The fluid balance was categorized into four groups (group 4: -850 to -500 ml/day; group 3: -499 to -200 ml/day, group 2: -199 to 0 ml/day, and group 1 : 1 to 1000 ml/day) and included ordinally in the model. The outcomes were all-cause mortality, length of hospitalization, and improvement in oxygen saturation. Results The fluid balance differed significantly among nonsurvivors and survivors (MD: -317.93, 95% CI: -410.21, -225.69, and p < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, there was a significantly lower frequency of mortality in patients with negative fluid balance compared to the controls (aRR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.57, 0.84, and p < 0.001). Similarly, the length of hospitalization was significantly shorter in the negative fluid balance group in comparison to the control group (aMD: -1.01, 95% CI: -1.74, -0.28, and p=0.006). Conclusion We determined that the negative fluid balance was associated with favorable outcomes in COVID-19 patients. The negative fluid balance was associated with the reduced mortality rate and length of hospitalization as well as improvement in oxygen saturation. Moreover, the NT-proBNP >781 pg/mL and fluid balance >-430 mL might be the predictors for positive fluid balance and mortality, respectively.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is common in critically ill patients and is strongly associated with adverse outcomes, including an increased risk of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events and death. The pathophysiology of SA-AKI remains elusive, although microcirculatory dysfunction, cellular metabolic reprogramming and dysregulated inflammatory responses have been implicated in preclinical studies. SA-AKI is best defined as the occurrence of AKI within 7 days of sepsis onset (diagnosed according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome criteria and Sepsis 3 criteria, respectively). Improving outcomes in SA-AKI is challenging, as patients can present with either clinical or subclinical AKI. Early identification of patients at risk of AKI, or at risk of progressing to severe and/or persistent AKI, is crucial to the timely initiation of adequate supportive measures, including limiting further insults to the kidney. Accordingly, the discovery of biomarkers associated with AKI that can aid in early diagnosis is an area of intensive investigation. Additionally, high-quality evidence on best-practice care of patients with AKI, sepsis and SA-AKI has continued to accrue. Although specific therapeutic options are limited, several clinical trials have evaluated the use of care bundles and extracorporeal techniques as potential therapeutic approaches. Here we provide graded recommendations for managing SA-AKI and highlight priorities for future research.

Non-interventional follow-up versus fluid bolus in RESPONSE to oliguria in hemodynamically stable critically ill patients: a randomized controlled pilot trial. Crit Care 2022; 26:401. [PMID: 36550559 PMCID: PMC9773608 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-022-04283-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid bolus therapy is a common intervention to improve urine output. Data concerning the effect of a fluid bolus on oliguria originate mainly from observational studies and remain controversial regarding the actual benefit of such therapy. We compared the effect of a follow-up approach without fluid bolus to a 500 mL fluid bolus on urine output in hemodynamically stable critically ill patients with oliguria at least for 2 h (urine output < 0.5 mL/kg/h) in randomized setting. METHODS We randomized 130 patients in 1:1 fashion to receive either (1) non-interventional follow-up (FU) for 2 h or (2) 500 mL crystalloid fluid bolus (FB) administered over 30 min. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who doubled their urine output, defined as 2-h urine output post-randomization divided by urine output 2 h pre-randomization. The outcomes were adjusted for the stratification variables (presence of sepsis or AKI) using two-tailed regression. Obtained odds ratios were converted to risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The between-group difference in the continuous variables was compared using mean or median regression and expressed with 95% CIs. RESULTS Altogether 10 (15.9%) of 63 patients in the FU group and 22 (32.8%) of 67 patients in FB group doubled their urine output during the 2-h period, RR (95% CI) 0.49 (0.23-0.71), P = 0.026. Median [IQR] change in individual urine output 2 h post-randomization compared to 2 h pre-randomization was - 7 [- 19 to 17] mL in the FU group and 19[0-53] mL in the FB group, median difference (95% CI) - 23 (- 36 to - 10) mL, P = 0.001. Median [IQR] duration of oliguria in the FU group was 4 [2-8] h and in the FB group 2 [0-6] h, median difference (95%CI) 2 (0-4) h, P = 0.038. Median [IQR] cumulative fluid balance on study day was lower in the FU group compared to FB group, 678 [518-1029] mL versus 1071 [822-1505] mL, respectively, median difference (95%CI) - 387 (- 635 to - 213) mL, P < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS Follow-up approach to oliguria compared to administering a fluid bolus of 500 mL crystalloid in oliguric patients improved urine output less frequently but lead to lower cumulative fluid balance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Active fluid removal has been suggested to improve prognosis following the resolution of acute circulatory failure. We have implemented a routine care protocol to guide fluid removal during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We designed a before-after pilot study to evaluate the impact of this deresuscitation strategy on the fluid balance. METHODS Consecutive ICU patients suffering from fluid overload and undergoing CRRT for acute kidney injury underwent a perfusion-based deresuscitation protocol combining a restrictive intake, net ultrafiltration (UFnet) of 2 mL/kg/h, and monitoring of perfusion (early dry group, N = 42) and were compared to a historical group managed according to usual practices (control group, N = 45). The primary outcome was the cumulative fluid balance at day 5 or at discharge. RESULTS Adjusted cumulative fluid balance was significantly lower in the early dry group (median [IQR]: -7784 [-11,833 to -2933] mL) compared to the control group (-3492 [-9935 to -1736] mL; p = 0.04). The difference was mainly driven by a greater daily UFnet (31 [22-46] mL/kg/day vs. 24 [15-32] mL/kg/day; p = 0.01). There was no significant difference between both groups regarding hemodynamic tolerance. CONCLUSION Our perfusion-based deresuscitation protocol achieved a greater negative cumulative fluid balance compared to standard practices and was hemodynamically well tolerated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload is present in two-thirds of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and is associated with morbidity, mortality, and increased healthcare resource utilization. Kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is frequently used for net fluid removal (i.e., net ultrafiltration [UFNET]) in patients with severe oliguric acute kidney injury. However, ultrafiltration has considerable risks associated with it, and there is a need for newer technology to perform ultrafiltration safely and to improve outcomes. SUMMARY Caring for a critically ill patient with oliguric acute kidney injury and fluid overload is one of the most challenging problems. Although diuretics are the first-line treatment for management of fluid overload, diuretic resistance is common. Various clinical practice guidelines support fluid removal using ultrafiltration during KRT. Emerging evidence from observational studies in critically ill patients suggests that both slow and fast rates of net fluid removal during continuous kidney replacement therapy are associated with increased mortality compared with moderate UFNET rates. In addition, fast UFNET rates are associated with an increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias. Randomized trials are required to examine whether moderate UFNET rates are associated with a reduced risk of hemodynamic instability, organ injury, and improved outcomes in critically ill patients. There is a need for newer technology for fluid removal in patients who do not meet traditional criteria for initiation of KRT. Emerging newer and miniaturized ultrafiltration devices may address an unmet clinical need. KEY MESSAGES Among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and fluid overload requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy, use of higher and slower UFNET rates compared with moderate UFNET rates might be associated with poor outcomes. Newer minimally invasive technologies may allow for safe and efficient UFNET in patients with acute kidney injury who do not meet criteria for initiation of KRT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of ultrasonographically measuring the caudal vena cava (CVC) at the subxiphoid view of healthy, lightly sedated cats in a standing position and lateral recumbency. METHODS This was a prospective, observational, experimental single-centre study. Twenty healthy research-purposed cats were enrolled. Two trained operators scanned each cat in two positions - standing and lateral recumbency - in a randomised order. CVC diameter was measured at the narrowest diameter during inspiration and at the widest diameter during expiration, at two anatomical locations along the CVC - where the CVC crosses the diaphragm (base) and 2 mm caudal to the diaphragm. The CVC collapsibility index (CVC-CI) was calculated for each site. Normalcy was assessed with a Shapiro-Wilk test. A one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey's test was used to compare inspiratory with expiratory values within and between groups. A paired t-test compared the CVC-CI between groups (P ⩽0.05 indicated statistical significance). Spearman's correlation and Bland-Altman analysis assessed inter-operator variability. RESULTS All ultrasonographic data passed normalcy and were reported as mean ± SD. When compared with each other, inspiratory and expiratory values were statistically different for position, location and operator (all P <0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference between lateral recumbency or standing position for inspiratory, expiratory and CVC-CI values. Inter-operator variability was substantial, with operator 2 consistently obtaining smaller measurements than operator 1. The mean CVC-CI in lateral recumbency at the base was 24% for operator 1 and 37% for operator 2. For the same site in standing position, CVC-CI was 27% and 41% for operators 1 and 2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This pilot study demonstrates that it is possible to ultrasonographically measure the CVC diameter in both lateral recumbency and a standing position in healthy, lightly sedated cats. However, measurements obtained are operator dependent with variability between individuals. Further studies are needed to determine if ultrasonographic CVC assessment will prove helpful in estimating intravascular volume status in cats.

Fluid accumulation and major adverse kidney events in sepsis: a multicenter observational study. Ann Intensive Care 2022; 12:62. [PMID: 35781636 PMCID: PMC9250912 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-022-01040-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Whether early fluid accumulation is a risk factor for adverse renal outcomes in septic intensive care unit (ICU) patients remains uncertain. We assessed the association between cumulative fluid balance and major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE30), a composite of death, dialysis, or sustained renal dysfunction, in such patients. Methods We performed a multicenter, retrospective observational study in 1834 septic patients admitted to five ICUs in three hospitals in Stockholm, Sweden. We used logistic regression analysis to assess the association between cumulative fluid balance during the first two days in ICU and subsequent risk of MAKE30, adjusted for demographic factors, comorbidities, baseline creatinine, illness severity variables, haemodynamic characteristics, chloride exposure and nephrotoxic drug exposure. We assessed the strength of significant exposure variables using a relative importance analysis. Results Overall, 519 (28.3%) patients developed MAKE30. Median (IQR) cumulative fluid balance was 5.3 (2.8–8.1) l in the MAKE30 group and 4.1 (1.9–6.8) l in the no MAKE30 group, with non-resuscitation fluids contributing to approximately half of total fluid input in each group. The adjusted odds ratio for MAKE30 was 1.05 (95% CI 1.02–1.09) per litre cumulative fluid balance. On relative importance analysis, the strongest factors regarding MAKE30 were, in decreasing order, baseline creatinine, cumulative fluid balance, and age. In the secondary outcome analysis, the adjusted odds ratio for dialysis or sustained renal dysfunction was 1.06 (95% CI 1.01–1.11) per litre cumulative fluid balance. On separate sensitivity analyses, lower urine output and early acute kidney injury, respectively, were independently associated with MAKE30, whereas higher fluid input was not. Conclusions In ICU patients with sepsis, a higher cumulative fluid balance after 2 days in ICU was associated with subsequent development of major adverse kidney events within 30 days, including death, renal replacement requirement, or persistent renal dysfunction.

An observational study of intensivists’ expectations and effects of fluid boluses in critically ill patients. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0265770.

Abstract
Background Fluid bolus therapy (FBT) is common in ICUs but whether it achieves the effects expected by intensivists remains uncertain. We aimed to describe intensivists’ expectations and compare them to the actual physiological effects. Methods We evaluated 77 patients in two ICUs (Sweden and Australia). We included patients prescribed a FBT ≥250 ml over ≤30 minutes. The intensivist completed a questionnaire on triggers for and expected responses to FBT. We compared expected with actual values at FBT completion and after one hour. Results Median bolus size (IQR) was 300 ml (250–500) given over a median (IQR) of 21 minutes (15–30 mins). Boluses were 57% Ringer´s Acetate and 43% albumin (40-50g/L). Hypotension was the most common trigger (47%), followed by oliguria (21%). During FBT, 55% of patients received noradrenaline and 38% propofol. Intensivists expected a median MAP increase of 2.6 mmHg (IQR: -3.1 to +6.8) at end of bolus and of 1.3 mmHg (-3.5 to + 4.1) after one hour. Intensivist´s’ expectations were judged to be accurate if they were within 5% above or below measured values. At FBT completion, 33% of MAP expectations were overestimations and 42% were underestimations. One hour later, 19% were overestimations and 43% were underestimations. Only 8% of expectations of measured urine output (UO) were accurate and 44% were overestimations. Correction for sedation or vasopressors did not modify these findings. Conclusions The physiological expectations of intensivists after FBT carried a high risk of both over and underestimation. Since the physiological effect FBT was often small and did not meet clinical expectations, a reassessment of its rationale, effect, duration, and role appears justified.

Abstract
Sepsis is the major culprit of death among critically ill patients who are hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs). Although sepsis-related mortality is steadily declining year-by-year due to the continuous understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism on sepsis and improvement of the bundle treatment, sepsis-associated hospitalization is rising worldwide. Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines are continuously updating, while their content is extremely complex and comprehensive for a precisely implementation in clinical practice. As a consequence, a standardized step-by-step approach for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis is particularly important. In the present study, we proposed a standardized step-by-step approach for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis using our daily clinical experience and the latest researches, which is close to clinical practice and is easy to implement. The proposed approach may assist clinicians to more effectively diagnose and treat septic patients and avoid the emergence of adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly evolved into a global pandemic. A significant proportion of COVID-19 patients develops severe symptoms, which may include acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute kidney injury as manifestations of multi-organ failure. Acute kidney injury (AKI) necessitating renal replacement therapy (RRT) is increasingly prevalent among critically ill patients with COVID-19. However, few studies have focused on AKI treated with RRT. Many questions are awaiting answers as regards AKI in the setting of COVID-19; whether patients with COVID-19 commonly develop AKI, what are the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms? What is the best evidence regarding treatment approaches? Identification of the potential indications and the preferred modalities of RRT in this context, is based mainly on clinical experience. Here, we review the current approaches of RRT, required for management of critically ill patients with COVID-19 complicated by severe AKI as well as the precautions that should be adopted by health care providers in dealing with these cases. Electronic search was conducted in MEDLINE, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus scientific databases. We searched the terms relevant to this review to identify the relevant studies. We also searched the conference proceedings and ClinicalTrials.gov database.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regional citrate anticoagulation has been recommended as an alternative of anticoagulation for patients at high risk of bleeding undergoing intermittent hemodialysis. Precise calcium supplementation is important for the safety of regional citrate anticoagulation. In this study we aimed to develop a possible method to optimize calcium supplementation for regional citrate anticoagulation in intermittent hemodialysis. METHODS The investigation consisted of a pilot study and a validation study. 18 patients undergoing intermittent hemodialysis anticoagulated by citrate and Six types of filters were included in the pilot study. The ionized calcium levels were monitored and maintained in the targeted range. Calcium-free dialysate was used in the study. After linear regression analysis of the clearance of non-protein bound calcium and calculating the ratio of the non-protein bound calcium concentration to total calcium concentration, we developed a mathematical model for estimation of extracorporeal circuit calcium removal. Another 8 maintenance hemodialysis patients (12 sessions) were enrolled in the validation study to validate the new version of the calcium supplementation approach. RESULTS In the pilot study, positive correlations were found between the clearance of non-protein bound calcium and the hematocrit-adjusted clearance of creatinine and phosphate given in the dialyzer leaflet (R2 =0.31, p=0.0165). The ratio of the non-protein bound calcium concentration to total calcium concentration at the pre-filter point after infusion of citrate were constant about 0.75. In the validation study, we found that the systemic ionized calcium levels were stably maintained in the safe range and no filter clotting occurred during the hemodialysis when we used the new model of calcium supplementation. CONCLUSIONS We developed a possible method to quantify calcium supplementation for intermittent hemodialysis anticoagulated by citrate which may help to avoid negative calcium balance and reduce the incidence of complications.

Association between Latent Trajectories of Fluid Balance and Clinical Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study. KIDNEY DISEASES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 8:82-92.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to identify different trajectories of fluid balance (FB) and investigate the effect of FB trajectories on clinical outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and the dose-response association between fluid overload (FO) and mortality. METHODS We derived data from the Beijing Acute Kidney Injury Trial (BAKIT). A total of 1,529 critically ill patients with AKI were included. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality, and hospital mortality, ICU mortality and AKI stage were the secondary outcomes. A group-based trajectory model was used to identify the trajectory of FB during the first 7 days. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine the relationship between FB trajectories and clinical outcomes. A logistic regression model with restricted cubic splines was used to examine the dose relationship between FO and 28-day mortality. RESULTS Three distinct trajectories of FB were identified: low FB (1,316, 86.1%), decreasing FB (120, 7.8%), and high FB (93, 6.1%). Compared with low FB, high FB was associated with increased 28-day mortality (odds ratio [OR] 1.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17-3.19) and AKI stage (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.23-3.37), whereas decreasing FB was associated with a reduction in 28-day mortality by approximately half (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.32-0.87). Similar results were found for the outcomes of ICU mortality and hospital mortality. We observed a J-shaped relationship between maximum FO and 28-day mortality, with the lowest risk at a maximum FO of 2.8% L/kg. CONCLUSION Different trajectories of FB in critically ill patients with AKI were associated with clinical outcomes. An FB above or below a certain range was associated with an increased risk of mortality. Further studies should explore this relationship and search for the optimal fluid management strategies for critically ill patients with AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common but underestimated syndrome in the perioperative setting. AKI can be induced by different causes and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, no specific treatment options are available at the moment. RECENT FINDINGS AKI is now understood as being a continuum ranging from normal kidney function over AKI and acute kidney disease to ultimately chronic kidney disease. The KDIGO organization recommend in 2012 implementation of preventive bundles in patients at high risk for AKI. In the perioperative setting, relevant measures include hemodynamic optimization, with careful consideration of blood pressure targets, adequate fluid therapy to maintain organ perfusion and avoidance of hyperglycaemia. These measures are most effective if patients at risk are identified as soon as possible and measures are implemented accordingly. Although current point of care functional biomarkers can detect patients at risk earlier than the established damage biomarkers, some components of the preventive bundle are still under investigation. SUMMARY Good evidence exists for the use of biomarkers to identify individual patients at risk for AKI and for the implementation of haemodynamic optimization, abdication of nephrotoxins, adequate fluid administration using balanced crystalloid solutions and glycaemic control. The data for using colloids or the degree of nephrotoxicity of contrast media still remain inconclusive.

Abstract
Common causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the ICU setting include acute tubular necrosis (due to shock, hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, or procedures that compromise renal perfusion), abdominal compartment syndrome, urinary retention, and interstitial nephritis. Treatment is geared toward addressing the underlying cause. Dialysis may be required if renal injury does not resolve. Early initiation of dialysis based on the stage of AKI alone has not been shown to provide a mortality benefit. Dialysis modalities are based on the dialysis indication and the patient's clinical status. Providers should pay close attention to nutritional requirements and medication dosing according to renal function and dialysis modality.

Abstract
Severe acute kidney injury is a common complication in critically ill patients, often necessitating support with a modality of kidney replacement therapy. Continuous kidney replacement therapies (CKRTs) have become a mainstay in the management of patients with acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit. Understanding the fundamentals of CKRT is necessary to safely and effectively prescribe treatment. In this narrative review, we summarize critical aspects of CKRT management, including selection of the mode of therapy; choice of hemofilter/hemodialyzer used; determination of the blood flow rate, composition and flow rates of dialysate and/or replacement fluids, and the ultrafiltration rate; and use and methods of anticoagulation. Requirements for vascular access and appropriate monitoring and dose adjustment of medications and a plan for monitoring the delivery of therapy and ensuring appropriate nutritional management are also discussed.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the haemodynamic effects of rapid fluid bolus therapy (FBT) (500 mL of 4% albumin over several minutes) versus combined FBT (rapid 200 mL FBT followed by a 300 mL infusion over 30 minutes). Design: Single centre, prospective, before-and-after trial. Setting: A tertiary intensive care unit in Australia. Participants: Fifty mechanically ventilated post-cardiac surgery patients. Interventions: Rapid 4% albumin FBT versus combined FBT. Main outcome measures: We recorded haemodynamic parameters from before FBT to 30 minutes after FBT. A mean arterial pressure (MAP) response was defined by a MAP increase > 10%, and a cardiac index (CI) response was defined by a CI increase > 15%. Results: Immediately after rapid FBT versus combined FBT, there was a CI response in 13 patients (52%) compared with five patients (20%) respectively (P = 0.038), and a MAP response in 11 patients (44%) in each group. However, from FBT administration to 30 minutes, there was a time and group interaction such that MAP was higher in the rapid FBT group (P = 0.003), as was the case for central venous pressure (P = 0.002) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (P < 0.001). Body temperature fell immediately and was lower with rapid FBT but became warmer than with combined FBT later (P < 0.001). At 30 minutes, a MAP response was seen in ten patients (40%) compared with nine patients (36%) (P < 0.99) and a CI response was present in eight patients (32%) compared with 11 patients (44%) (P = 0.56) in the rapid versus combined FBT groups respectively. Conclusion: Rapid FBT was superior to combined FBT in terms of mean MAP levels and immediate CI response. However, the number of MAP responders or CI responders was similar at 30 minutes.

Abstract
Patients with sepsis are prone to fluid overload (FO) due to fluid resuscitation, irrespective of stage of acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of our study was to analyze the association between FO at continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) initiation and 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis associated AKI (S-AKI). In this retrospective study, data for patient characteristics were collected and 28-day mortality were studied. We also analyze association of variables, including FO degrees with 28-day mortality. Earlier commencement of CRRT showed better outcome. Non-survivors had higher FO than survivor (9.17% vs. 5.20%; p = 0.016). Survival in patients with FO > 10% over 28 days was significantly worse compared to those with FO ≤ 10% (p = 0.006). Multivariate analysis showed, FO > 10% (95%CI [1.721, 17.195], p = 0.004) was significantly associated with increased 28-day mortality. In S-AKI requiring CRRT, FO > 10% at CRRT initiation was independently associated with 28-day mortality.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome that has a significant impact on prognosis in various clinical settings. To evaluate whether new evidence supports changing the current definition/classification/staging systems for AKI suggested by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 Clinical Practice Guideline, the Taiwan AKI-TASK Force, composed of 64 experts in various disciplines, systematically reviewed the literature and proposed recommendations about the current nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for AKI. The Taiwan Acute Kidney Injury (TW-AKI) Consensus 2020 was established following the principles of evidence-based medicine to investigate topics covered in AKI guidelines. The Taiwan AKI-TASK Force determined that patients with AKI have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, and death. After a comprehensive review, the TASK Force recommended using novel biomarkers, imaging examinations, renal biopsy, and body fluid assessment in the diagnosis of AKI. Clinical issues with regards to the definitions of baseline serum creatinine (sCr) level and renal recovery, as well as the use of biomarkers to predict renal recovery are also discussed in this consensus. Although the present classification systems using sCr and urine output for the diagnosis of AKI are not perfect, there is not enough evidence to change the current criteria in clinical practice. Future research should investigate and clarify the roles of the aforementioned tools in clinical practice for AKI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The presence of tachycardia in critically ill patients is frequently used as an indication of severity of illness and to guide treatment decisions but can be influenced by body temperature, thus confounding its interpretation. There are few data available on the relationship between body temperature and heart rate in critically ill patients. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. SETTING Mixed medical-surgical university hospital ICU. PATIENTS All patients admitted to the ICU between November 2006 and August 2019. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Body temperature was recorded in the electronic medical records at least hourly, from invasive measurements (esophageal probe, indwelling urinary catheter, pulse contour cardiac output monitoring system, or pulmonary artery catheter) or manual tympanic recordings. Heart rate was monitored continuously and hourly values were recorded in the electronic medical record. Change in heart rate with change in body temperature was assessed by extracting pairs of simultaneous body temperature and corresponding heart rate measurements from the electronic medical record: 472,941 simultaneous pairs were obtained from the 9,046 patients admitted during the study period. Each 1°C increase in body temperature between 32.0°C and 42.0°C was associated with an 8.35 beats/min increase in heart rate. Crude linear regression showed an r2 of 0.855 between body temperature and heart rate. Heart rate increased more in females than in males (9.46 vs 7.24 beats/min for each 1°C, p < 0.0001); this relationship was not affected by age or adrenergic drugs. The increase in heart rate was related to the severity of organ dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Increase in body temperature is associated with a linear increase in heart rate of 9.46 beats/min/°C in female and 7.24 beats/min/°C in male patients. These observations will help to correctly interpret heart rate values at different body temperatures and enable more accurate evaluation of other factors associated with tachycardia.

Mil Med Res 2021; 8:40.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Septic shock has a high incidence and mortality rate in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Earlier intravenous fluid resuscitation can significantly improve outcomes in septic patients but easily leads to fluid overload (FO), which is associated with poor clinical outcomes. A single point value of fluid cannot provide enough fluid information. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of fluid balance (FB) latent trajectories on clinical outcomes in septic patients. METHODS Patients were diagnosed with septic shock during the first 48 h, and sequential fluid data for the first 3 days of ICU admission were included. A group-based trajectory model (GBTM) which is designed to identify groups of individuals following similar developmental trajectories was used to identify latent subgroups of individuals following a similar progression of FB. The primary outcomes were hospital mortality, organ dysfunction, major adverse kidney events (MAKE) and severe respiratory adverse events (SRAE). We used multivariable Cox or logistic regression analysis to assess the association between FB trajectories and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Nine hundred eighty-six patients met the inclusion criteria and were assigned to GBTM analysis, and three latent FB trajectories were detected. 64 (6.5%), 841 (85.3%), and 81 (8.2%) patients were identified to have decreased, low, and high FB, respectively. Compared with low FB, high FB was associated with increased hospital mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22-2.17], organ dysfunction [odds ratio (OR) 2.18, 95% CI 1.22-3.42], MAKE (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.04-2.63) and SRAE (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.46-3.71), and decreasing FB was significantly associated with decreased MAKE (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.29-0.79) after adjustment for potential covariates. CONCLUSION Latent subgroups of septic patients followed a similar FB progression. These latent fluid trajectories were associated with clinical outcomes. The decreasing FB trajectory was associated with a decreased risk of hospital mortality and MAKE.

Efficacy and safety of early target-controlled plasma volume replacement with a balanced gelatine solution versus a balanced electrolyte solution in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock: study protocol, design, and rationale of a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicentric, international clinical trial : GENIUS-Gelatine use in ICU and sepsis. Trials 2021; 22:376.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is associated with capillary leakage and vasodilatation and leads to hypotension and tissue hypoperfusion. Early plasma volume replacement is required to achieve haemodynamic stability (HDS) and maintain adequate tissue oxygenation. The right choice of fluids to be used for plasma volume replacement (colloid or crystalloid solutions) is still a matter of debate, and large trials investigating the use of colloid solutions containing gelatine are missing. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of plasma volume replacement using either a combined gelatine-crystalloid regime (1:1 ratio) or a pure crystalloid regime. METHODS This is a prospective, controlled, randomized, double-blind, international, multicentric phase IV study with two parallel groups that is planned to be conducted at European intensive care units (ICUs) in a population of patients with hypovolaemia in severe sepsis/septic shock. A total of 608 eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either a gelatine-crystalloid regime (Gelaspan® 4% and Sterofundin® ISO, B. Braun Melsungen AG, in a 1:1 ratio) or a pure crystalloid regime (Sterofundin® ISO) for plasma volume replacement. The primary outcome is defined as the time needed to achieve HDS. Plasma volume replacement will be target-controlled, i.e. fluids will only be administered to volume-responsive patients. Volume responsiveness will be assessed through passive leg raising or fluid challenges. The safety and efficacy of both regimens will be assessed daily for 28 days or until ICU discharge (whichever occurs first) as the secondary outcomes of this study. Follow-up visits/calls will be scheduled on day 28 and day 90. DISCUSSION This study aims to generate evidence regarding which regimen-a gelatine-crystalloid regimen or a pure crystalloid regimen-is more effective in achieving HDS in critically ill patients with hypovolaemia. Study participants in both groups will benefit from the increased safety of target-controlled plasma volume replacement, which prevents fluid administration to already haemodynamically stable patients and reduces the risk of harmful fluid overload.

Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate the association between usage of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 24 hours after acute kidney injury (AKI) and the prognosis of patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database was used to identify AKI patients with and without TTE administration. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Multivariable regression was used to clarify the association between TTE and clinical outcomes and propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were utilized to validate our findings. Results Among 23,945 eligible AKI patients, 3361 patients who received TTE and 3361 who did not conduct TTE had similar propensity scores which were included in this study. After matching, the TTE group had a significantly lower 28-day mortality (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.72–0.88, P<0.001). Patients in the TTE group received more fluid on day 1 and day 2 and had a more urine volume on day 1 and day 3, and the reduction in serum creatinine was greater than that in the no TTE group. The mediating effect of creatinine reduction was remarkable for the whole cohort (P=0.02 for the average causal mediation effect). Conclusion TTE utilization was associated with decreased risk-adjusted 28-day mortality for AKI patients in ICU and was proportionally mediated through creatinine reduction.

Abstract
Intravenous fluids are an essential component of shock management in human and veterinary emergency and critical care to increase cardiac output and improve tissue perfusion. Unfortunately, there are very few evidence-based guidelines to help direct fluid therapy in the clinical setting. Giving insufficient fluids and/or administering fluids too slowly to hypotensive patients with hypovolemia can contribute to continued hypoperfusion and increased morbidity and mortality. Similarly, giving excessive fluids to a volume unresponsive patient can contribute to volume overload and can equally increase morbidity and mortality. Therefore, assessing a patient's volume status and fluid responsiveness, and monitoring patient's response to fluid administration is critical in maintaining the balance between meeting a patient's fluid needs vs. contributing to complications of volume overload. This article will focus on the physiology behind fluid responsiveness and the methodologies used to estimate volume status and fluid responsiveness in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Fluid disbalance is associated with adverse outcomes in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, we intended to assess fluid status using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and central venous pressure (CVP) measurement and to evaluate the association between hyperhydration and hypervolemia with the outcomes of severe AKI. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Hospital of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno Klinikos. Forty-seven patients treated at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with severe AKI and a need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) were examined. The hydration level was evaluated according to the ratio of extracellular water to total body water (ECW/TBW) of bioimpedance analysis and volemia was measured according to CVP. All of the patients were tested before the first hemodialysis (HD) procedure. Hyperhydration was defined as ECW/TBW > 0.39 and hypervolemia as CVP > 12 cm H2O. Results: According to bioimpedance analysis, 72.3% (n = 34) of patients were hyperhydrated. According to CVP, only 51.1% (n = 24) of the patients were hypervolemic. Interestingly, 69.6% of hypovolemic/normovolemic patients were also hyperhydrated. Of all study patients, 57.4% (n = 27) died, in 29.8% (n = 14) the kidney function improved, and in 12.8% (n = 6) the demand for RRT remained after in-patient treatment. A tendency of higher mortality in hyperhydrated patients was observed, but no association between hypervolemia and outcomes of severe AKI was established. Conclusions: Three-fourths of the patients with severe AKI were hyperhydrated based on bioimpedance analysis. However, according to CVP, only half of these patients were hypervolemic. A tendency of higher mortality in hyperhydrated patients was observed.

Fluid management in patients with acute kidney injury - A post-hoc analysis of the FINNAKI study. J Crit Care 2021; 64:205-210. [PMID: 34020407 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2021.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Whether positive fluid balance among patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) stems from decreased urine output, overzealous fluid administration, or both is poorly characterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of the prospective multicenter observational Finnish Acute Kidney Injury study including 824 AKI and 1162 non-AKI critically ill patients. RESULTS We matched 616 AKI (diagnosed during the three first intensive care unit (ICU) days) and non-AKI patients using propensity score. During the three first ICU days, AKI patients received median [IQR] of 11.4 L [8.0-15.2]L fluids and non-AKI patients 10.2 L [7.5-13.7]L, p < 0.001 while the fluid output among AKI patients was 4.7 L [3.0-7.2]L and among non-AKI patients 5.8 L [4.1-8.0]L, p < 0.001. In AKI patients, the median [IQR] cumulative fluid balance was 2.5 L [-0.2-6.0]L compared to 0.9 L [-1.4-3.6]L among non-AKI patients, p < 0.001. Among the 824 AKI patients, smaller volumes of fluid input with a multivariable OR of 0.90 (0.88-0.93) and better fluid output (multivariable OR 1.12 (1.07-1.18)) associated with enhanced change of resolution of AKI. CONCLUSIONS AKI patients received more fluids albeit having lower fluid output compared to matched critically ill non-AKI patients. Smaller volumes of fluid input and higher fluid output were associated with better AKI recovery.

Abstract
Emerging evidence from observational studies suggests that both slower and faster net ultrafiltration rates during kidney replacement therapy are associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and fluid overload. Faster rates are associated with ischemic organ injury. The net ultrafiltration rate should be prescribed based on patient body weight in milliliters per kilogram per hour, with close monitoring of patient hemodynamics and fluid balance. Randomized trials are required to examine whether moderate net ultrafiltration rates compared with slower and faster rates are associated with reduced risk of hemodynamic instability, organ injury, and improved outcomes.

Ratio of Overhydration and Extracellular Water Versus Ratio of Extracellular Water and Body Cell Mass in the Assessment of Fluid Status in Patients With Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Kidney Replacement Therapy: A Cohort Study. J Ren Nutr 2021; 32:152-160. [PMID: 33727001 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2021.01.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to analyze the association between the ratio of overhydration and extracellular water (OH/ECW) and the ratio of extracellular water and body cell mass (ECW/BCM) measured by bioelectrical impedance and outcomes of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT). METHODS Patients with severe AKI treated with KRT in our hospital between September 2016 and August 2018 were enrolled. These patients were assessed using a body composition monitor before KRT, and on the 3rd day and the 7th day after initiation of KRT. The predictors mainly included OH/ECW and ECW/BCM. The association between all-cause mortality and predictors were analyzed using Cox regression. RESULTS A total of 152 patients were included in this study with a median follow-up of 39 (interquartile range 8-742) days. The 28-day mortality, 90-day mortality, and 1-year mortality were 46.7%, 54.6%, and 60.5%, respectively. A high ratio of OH/ECW (adjusted hazard ratio per standard deviation, 1.45; 95% confidence interval = 1.15-1.82, P = .002) and a high ratio of ECW/BCM (adjusted hazard ratio per standard deviation, 1.33, 95% confidence interval = 1.07-1.64, P = .009) before KRT were associated with all-cause mortality during follow-up. Higher ECW/BCM rather than OH/ECW at 7th day was associated with poorer outcomes. Furthermore, a reduction of OH/ECW with an increase of ECW/BCM had higher 1-year mortality as compared to others (85.7% vs. 51.2%, P = .004) in patients who survived 7 days after KRT initiation. CONCLUSIONS ECW/BCM performed better than OH/ECW in assessment of fluid status in AKI patients requiring KRT. This study suggested that a simple reduction of OH/ECW without decreasing ECW/BCM may not improve outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently complicates hospital admission, especially in the ICU or after major surgery, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The risk of developing AKI depends on the presence of preexisting comorbidities and the cause of the current disease. Besides, many other parameters affect the kidney function, such as the state of other vital organs, the host response, and the initiated treatment. Advancements in the field of informatics have led to the opportunity to store and utilize the patient-related data to train and validate models to detect specific patterns and, as such, predict disease states or outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS Machine-learning techniques have also been applied to predict AKI, as well as the patients' outcomes related to their AKI, such as mortality or the need for kidney replacement therapy. Several models have recently been developed, but only a few of them have been validated in external cohorts. SUMMARY In this article, we provide an overview of the machine-learning prediction models for AKI and its outcomes in critically ill patients and individuals undergoing major surgery. We also discuss the pitfalls and the opportunities related to the implementation of these models in clinical practices.

Abstract
Current recommendations for the management of patients with COVID-19 and acute kidney injury (AKI) are largely based on evidence from resource-rich settings, mostly located in high-income countries. It is often unpractical to apply these recommendations to resource-restricted settings. We report on a set of pragmatic recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of patients with COVID-19 and AKI in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). For the prevention of AKI among patients with COVID-19 in LMICs, we recommend using isotonic crystalloid solutions for expansion of intravascular volume, avoiding nephrotoxic medications, and using a conservative fluid management strategy in patients with respiratory failure. For the diagnosis of AKI, we suggest that any patient with COVID-19 presenting with an elevated serum creatinine level without available historical values be considered as having AKI. If serum creatinine testing is not available, we suggest that patients with proteinuria should be considered to have possible AKI. We suggest expansion of the use of point-of-care serum creatinine and salivary urea nitrogen testing in community health settings, as funding and availability allow. For the management of patients with AKI and COVID-19 in LMICS, we recommend judicious use of intravenous fluid resuscitation. For patients requiring dialysis who do not have acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we suggest using peritoneal dialysis (PD) as first choice, where available and feasible. For patients requiring dialysis who do have ARDS, we suggest using hemodialysis, where available and feasible, to optimize fluid removal. We suggest using locally produced PD solutions when commercially produced solutions are unavailable or unaffordable.

A randomized trial of albumin infusion to prevent intradialytic hypotension in hospitalized hypoalbuminemic patients. Crit Care 2021; 25:18. [PMID: 33407747 PMCID: PMC7789619 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-020-03441-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a frequent complication of intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), occurring from 15 to 50% of ambulatory sessions, and is more frequent among hospitalized patients with hypoalbuminemia. IDH limits adequate fluid removal and increases the risk for vascular access thrombosis, early hemodialysis (HD) termination, and mortality. Albumin infusion before and during therapy has been used for treating IDH with the varying results. We evaluated the efficacy of albumin infusion in preventing IDH during IHD in hypoalbuminemic inpatients. METHODS A randomized, crossover trial was performed in 65 AKI or ESKD patients with hypoalbuminemia (albumin < 3 g/dl) who required HD during hospitalization. Patients were randomized to receive 100 ml of either 0.9%sodium chloride or 25% albumin intravenously at the initiation of each dialysis. These two solutions were alternated for up to six sessions. Patients' vital signs and ultrafiltration removal rate were recorded every 15 to 30 min during dialysis. IDH was assessed by different definitions reported in the literature. All symptoms associated with a noted hypotensive event as well as interventions during the dialysis were recorded. RESULTS Sixty-five patients were submitted to 249 sessions; the mean age was 58 ([Formula: see text] 12), and 46 (70%) were male with a mean weight of 76 ([Formula: see text] 18) kg. The presence of IDH was lower during albumin sessions based on all definitions. The hypotension risk was significantly decreased based on the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative definition; (15% with NS vs. 7% with albumin, p = 0.002). The lowest intradialytic SBP was significantly worse in patients who received 0.9% sodium chloride than albumin (NS 83 vs. albumin 90 mmHg, p = 0.035). Overall ultrafiltration rate was significantly higher in the albumin therapies [NS - 8.25 ml/kg/h (- 11.18 5.80) vs. 8.27 ml/kg/h (- 12.22 to 5.53) with albumin, p = 0.011]. CONCLUSION In hypoalbuminemic patients who need HD, albumin administration before the dialysis results in fewer episodes of hypotension and improves fluid removal. Albumin infusion may be of benefit to improve the safety of HD and achievement of fluid balance in these high-risk patients. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04522635.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fluid management is important in ensuring haemodynamic stability in critically ill patients, but can easily lead to fluid overload (FO). However, the optimal fluid balance plot or range for critically ill patients is unknown. This study aimed to explore the dose-response relationship between FO and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients. DESIGN Multicentre, prospective, observational study. SETTING Eighteen intensive care units (ICUs) of 16 tertiary hospitals in China. PARTICIPANTS Critically ill patients in the ICU for more than 3 days. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES AND ANALYSES FO was defined as the ratio of the cumulative fluid balance (L) and initial body weight (kg) on ICU admission, expressed as a percentage. Maximum FO was defined as the peak value of FO during the first 3 days of ICU admission. Logistic regression models with restricted cubic splines were used to explore the pattern and magnitude of the association between maximum FO and risk of in-hospital mortality. Age, sex, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score on admission, main diagnosis on admission to ICU, comorbidities, time of maximum FO, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, use of vasopressors and centres were adjusted in multivariable analysis. RESULTS A total of 3850 patients were included in the study, 929 (24.1%) of whom died in the hospital. For each 1% L/kg increase in maximum FO, the risk of in-hospital mortality increased by 4% (adjusted HR (aHR) 1.04, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.05, p<0.001). A maximum FO greater than 10% was associated with a 44% increased HR of in-hospital mortality compared with an FO less than 5% (aHR 1.44, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.67). Notably, we found a non-linear dose-response association between maximum FO and in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Both higher and negative fluid balance levels were associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR-ECH-13003934.

Abstract
This study aims to explore effect of initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) on mortality in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients. In this study, a total of 92 patients from the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University who were diagnosed with AP and underwent RRT or not between January 2014 and December 2018 were included in this retrospective study. Demographic and clinical data were obtained on admission to SICU. Patients were divided into early initiation of RRT group (n = 44) and delayed initiation of RRT group (n = 48). Duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), intra-peritoneal pressure, vasopressors infusion, body temperature, procalcitonin, creatinine, platelet counts, length of hospital stay and prognosis were recorded during hospitalization, and then compared between groups. Patients with delayed initiation of RRT exhibited significantly higher APACHE II score, SOFA score and lower GCS score than those with early initiation of RRT (P < 0.001, <0.001, = 0.04, respectively). No difference in the rest of the baseline data and vasopressors infusion was found. Dose of Norepinephrine, maximum and mean PCT, maximum and mean creatinine, maximum and mean intra-peritoneal pressure, length of hospital stay, prognosis of ICU and hospitalization showed significant difference between groups. Early initiation of RRT may be beneficial for AP patients, which can provide some insight and support for patients' treatment in clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although clinical care is multidisciplinary, intensive care unit research commonly focuses on single-discipline themes. We sought to characterize intensive care unit research conducted by physicians and nurses. METHODS One hundred randomly selected reports of clinical studies published in critical care medical and nursing journals were reviewed. RESULTS Of the 100 articles reviewed, 50 were published in medical journals and 50 were published in nursing journals. Only 1 medical study (2%) used qualitative methods, compared with 9 nursing studies (18%) (P = .02). The distribution of quantitative study designs differed between medical and nursing journals (P < .001), with medical journals having a predominance of cohort studies (29 articles [58%]). Compared with medical journal articles, nursing journal articles had significantly fewer authors (median [interquartile range], 5 [3-6] vs 8 [6-10]; P < .001) and study participants (94 [51-237] vs 375 [86-4183]; P < .001) and a significantly lower proportion of male study participants (55% [26%-65%] vs 60% [51%-65%]; P = .02). Studies published in medical journals were much more likely than those published in nursing journals to exclusively involve patients as participants (47 [94%] vs 25 [50%]; P < .001). Coauthorship between physicians and nurses was evident in 14 articles (14%), with infrequent inclusion of authors from other health care disciplines. CONCLUSIONS Physician research and nurse research differ in several important aspects and tend to occur within silos. Increased interprofessional collaboration is possible and worthwhile.

Abstract
The management of COVID-19 patients in the ICUs requires several and prolonged life-support systems (mechanical ventilation, continuous infusions of medications and nutrition, renal replacement therapy). Parameters have to be entered continuously into the device user interface by healthcare personnel according to the dynamic clinical condition. This leads to an increased risk of cross-contamination, use of personal protective equipment and the need for stringent and demanding protocols. Cables and tubing extensions have been utilized to make certain devices usable outside the patient's room but at the cost of introducing further hazards. Remote control of these devices decreases the frequency of unnecessary interventions and reduces the risk of exposure for both patients and healthcare personnel. healthcare-associated Infections (including respiratory viral and bacterial infections) are increasing especially in high-risk areas such as ICUs the management of critically ill patients requires several and prolonged life-support devices (ventilators, extracorporeal circuits, infusion pumps) increasing the risk of cross-contamination by aerosol, infected organic fluids or direct contact remote control of these devices, from a separated control-room, reduces unnecessary personnel biohazard exposure and contacts for both patients and healthcare workers bidirectional communication with medical equipment has potential to prevent contamination of patients and medical staff by limiting the spread of infections and allows for time and cost saving due to the reduced need of PPE
