Abstract
Acute phase and resuscitation after burn trauma are challenging even for specialised burn centres due to the individual onset and differences compared with other forms of shock. The guidelines of the German Society of Burn Medicine (DGV) cover the scientific basis of modern burn treatment. Nevertheless, uncertainty remains regarding the detailed practical handling. This expert consensus focuses on best practices for the treatment of patients with major burns in specialised burn centres and by clinical first responders.

Han S, Wu X, Li P, He K, Li J. The impact of goal-directed fluid therapy on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Cardiothorac Surg 2024; 19:60. [PMID: 38317166 PMCID: PMC10840200 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-02519-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary complications after thoracic surgery are common and associated with significant morbidity and high cost of care. Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) could reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and facilitate recovery in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. However, whether GDFT could reduce the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing thoracic surgery was unclear. The present meta-analysis was designed to assess the impact of Goal-directed Fluid Therapy on PPCs in patients undergoing thoracic surgery. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing GDFT with other conventional fluid management strategies in adult patients undergoing thoracic surgery were identified. Databases searched included PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. Review Manager 5.4 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK) software was used for statistical analysis. Heterogeneity was analyzed using I2 statistics, and a standardized mean difference with 95% CI and P value was used to calculate the treatment effect for outcome variables. The primary study outcomes were the incidence of PPCs. Secondary outcomes were the total volume infused, the length of hospitalization, the incidence of cardiac complications, and the incidence of renal dysfunction. Subgroup analysis was planned to verify the definite role of GDFT. RESULTS A total of 6 RCTs consisting of 680 patients were included in this meta-analysis, which revealed that GDFT did not reduce the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing thoracic surgery (RR, 0.57; 95% CI 0.29-1.14). However, GDFT decreased the total intra-operative fluid input (MD, - 244.40 ml; 95% CI - 397.06 to - 91.74). There was no statistical difference in the duration of hospitalization (MD; - 1.31, 95% CI - 3.00 to 0.38), incidence of renal dysfunction (RR, 0.62; 95% CI 0.29-1.35), and incidence of cardiac complications (RR, 0.62; 95% CI 0.27-1.40). CONCLUSIONS The results of this meta-analysis indicate that GDFT did not reduce the postoperative incidence of pulmonary complications in individuals undergoing thoracic surgery. However, considering the small number of contributing studies, these results should be interpreted with caution.

Comparison Between Changes in Systolic-Pressure Variation and Pulse-Pressure Variation After Passive Leg Raising to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Postoperative Critically Ill Patients. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024; 38:459-465. [PMID: 38114373 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2023.11.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The authors aimed to evaluate the precision of changes in systolic-pressure variation after passive leg raising (PLR) as a predictor of fluid responsiveness in postoperative critically ill patients, and to compare the precision of changes in pulse-pressure variation after PLR (ΔPPVPLR) with changes in systolic-pressure variation after PLR (ΔSPVPLR). DESIGN A prospective observational study. SETTING A surgical intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital. PARTICIPANTS Seventy-four postoperative critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure were enrolled. INTERVENTIONS Fluid responsiveness was defined as an increase of 10% or more in stroke volume after PLR, dividing patients into 2 groups: responders and nonresponders. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS Hemodynamic data were recorded at baseline and after PLR, and the stroke volume was measured by transthoracic echocardiography. Thirty-eight patients were responders, and 36 were nonresponders. ΔPPVPLR predicted fluid responsiveness with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.917, and the optimal cutoff value was 2.3%, with a gray zone of 1.6% to 3.3%, including 19 (25.7%) patients. ΔSPVPLR predicted fluid responsiveness with an AUC of 0.908, and the optimal cutoff value was 1.9%, with a gray zone of 1.1% to 2.0%, including 18 (24.3%) patients. No notable distinction was observed between the AUC for ΔPPVPLR and ΔSPVPLR (p = 0.805) in predicting fluid responsiveness. CONCLUSIONS ΔSPVPLR and ΔPPVPLR could accurately predict fluid responsiveness in postoperative critically ill patients. There was no difference in the ability to predict fluid responsiveness between ΔSPVPLR and ΔPPVPLR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Measuring the hypovolemic resuscitation end point remains a critical care challenge. Our project compared clinical hypovolemia (CH) with three diagnostic adjuncts: 1) noninvasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM), 2) ultrasound (US) static IVC collapsibility (US-IVC), and 3) US dynamic carotid upstroke velocity (US-C). We hypothesized US measures would correlate more closely to CH than NICOM. METHODS Adult trauma/surgical intensive care unit patients were prospectively screened for suspected hypovolemia after acute resuscitation, excluding patients with burns, known heart failure, or severe liver/kidney disease. Adjunct measurements were assessed up to twice a day until clinical improvement. Hypovolemia was defined as: 1) NICOM: ≥10% stroke volume variation with passive leg raise, 2) US-IVC: <2.1 cm and >50% collapsibility (nonventilated) or >18% collapsibility (ventilated), 3) US-C: peak systolic velocity increase 15 cm/s with passive leg raise. Previously unknown cardiac dysfunction seen on US was noted. Observation-level data were analyzed with a Cohen's kappa (κ). RESULTS 44 patients (62% male, median age 60) yielded 65 measures. Positive agreement with CH was 47% for NICOM, 37% for US-IVC and 10% for US-C. None of the three adjuncts correlated with CH (κ -0.045 to 0.029). After adjusting for previously unknown cardiac dysfunction present in 10 patients, no adjuncts correlated with CH (κ -0.036 to 0.031). No technique correlated with any other (κ -0.118 to 0.083). CONCLUSIONS None of the adjunct measurements correlated with CH or each other, highlighting that fluid status assessment remains challenging in critical care. US should assess for right ventricular dysfunction prior to resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical use of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) has dramatically increased, its impact on long-term prognosis in these patients has not been studied. This study aimed to explore the effect of early-TTE on long-term mortality in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS in ICU. METHODS A total of 2833 patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS who had or had not received early-TTE were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III) database after imputing missing values by a random forest model, patients were divided into early-TTE group and non-early-TTE group according to whether they received TTE examination in ICU. A variety of statistical methods were used to balance 41 covariates and increase the reliability of this study, including propensity score matching, inverse probability of treatment weight, covariate balancing propensity score, multivariable regression, and doubly robust estimation. Chi-Square test and t-tests were used to examine the differences between groups for categorical and continuous data, respectively. RESULTS There was a significant improvement in 90-day mortality in the early-TTE group compared to non-early-TTE group (odds ratio = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.64-0.98, p-value = 0.036), revealing a beneficial effect of early-TTE. Net-input was significantly decreased in the early-TTE group on the third day of ICU admission and throughout the ICU stay, compared with non-early-TTE group (838.57 vs. 1181.89 mL, p-value = 0.014; 4542.54 vs. 8025.25 mL, p-value = 0.05). There was a significant difference in the reduction of serum lactate between the two groups, revealing the beneficial effect of early-TTE (0.59 vs. 0.83, p-value = 0.009). Furthermore, the reduction in the proportion of acute kidney injury demonstrated a correlation between early-TTE and kidney protection (33% vs. 40%, p-value < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Early application of TTE is beneficial to improve the long-term mortality of patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Background : Accurate prediction of fluid responsiveness is important for postoperative critically ill elderly patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive values of peak velocity variation (ΔVpeak) and passive leg raising (PLR)-induced changes in ΔVpeak (ΔVpeak PLR ) of the left ventricular outflow tract to predict fluid responsiveness in postoperative critically ill elderly patients. Method : Seventy-two postoperative elderly patients with acute circulatory failure who were mechanically ventilated with sinus rhythm were enrolled in our study. Pulse pressure variation (PPV), ΔVpeak, and stroke volume were collected at baseline and after PLR. An increase of >10% in stroke volume after PLR defined fluid responsiveness. Receiver operating characteristic curves and gray zones were constructed to assess the ability of ΔVpeak and ΔVpeak PLR to predict fluid responsiveness. Results : Thirty-two patients were fluid responders. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) for baseline PPV and ΔVpeak to predict fluid responsiveness was 0.768 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.653-0.859; P < 0.001) and 0.899 (95% CI, 0.805-0.958; P < 0.001) with gray zones of 7.63% to 12.66% that included 41 patients (56.9%) and 9.92% to 13.46% that included 28 patients (38.9%). ΔPPV PLR predicted fluid responsiveness with an AUC of 0.909 (95% CI, 0.818-0.964; P < 0.001), and the gray zone was 1.49% to 2.93% and included 20 patients (27.8%). ΔVpeak PLR predicted fluid responsiveness with an AUC of 0.944 (95% CI, 0.863-0.984; P < 0.001), and the gray zone was 1.48% to 2.46% and included six patients (8.3%). Conclusions : Passive leg raising-induced changes in peak velocity variation of blood flow in the left ventricular outflow tract accurately predicted fluid responsiveness with a small gray zone in postoperative critically ill elderly patients.

Abstract
Introduction Predicting which patients with acute circulatory failure will respond to the fluid by an increase in cardiac output is a daily challenge. End-expiratory occlusion test (EEOT) and mini-fluid challenge (MFC) can be used for assessing fluid responsiveness in patients with spontaneous breathing activity, cardiac arrhythmias, low-tidal volume and/or low lung compliance. Methods The objective of the study is to evaluate the value of EEOT and MFC-induced rise in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) velocity time integral (VTI) in predicting fluid responsiveness in acute circulatory failure in comparison to the passive leg-raising (PLR) test. Hundred critically ill ventilated and sedated patients with acute circulatory failure were studied. LVOT VTI was measured by transthoracic echocardiography before and after EEOT (interrupting the ventilator at end-expiration over 15 s), and before and after MFC (100 ml of Ringer lactate was infused over 1 min). The variation of LVOT VTI after EEOT and the MFC was calculated from the baseline. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of LVOT VTI after EEOT and MFC to predict fluid responsiveness were determined. Results After PLR, stroke volume (SV) increased by ≥12% in 49 patients, who were defined as responders and 34 patients in whom the increase in SV <12% were defined as nonresponders. A cutoff of 9.1% Change in VTI after MFC (ΔVTIMFC) predicted fluid responsiveness with an AUROC of 0.96 (P < 0.001) with sensitivity and specificity of 91.5% and 88.9%, respectively. Change in VTI after EEOT (ΔVTIEEOT) >4.3% predicted fluid responsiveness with sensitivity and specificity 89.4% and 88.9%, respectively, with an AUROC of 0.97 (P < 0.001), but in 17 patients, EEOT was not possible because triggering of the ventilator by the patient's inspiratory effort. Conclusion In conclusion, in mechanically ventilated patients with acute circulatory failure Δ VTIMFC and Δ VTI EEOT accurately predicts fluid responsiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the usefulness of using the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) velocity-time integral (VTI) for echocardiographic monitoring of cardiac output compared to the gold standard, the VTI along the left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT). DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING A tertiary intensive care unit. PATIENTS 100 consecutive patients. INTERVENTIONS echocardiographic monitoring in critically ill patients. MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST We used intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) to compare echocardiographic measurements of LVOT VTI through apical window with RVOT VTI through the parasternal and modified subcostal windows and to assess interobserver reproducibility. Preplanned post hoc analyses compared the ICC between ventilated and nonventilated patients. RESULTS At the time of echocardiography, 44 (44%) patients were mechanically ventilated and 28 (28%) were receiving vasoactive drugs. Good-quality measurements were obtained through the parasternal short-axis and/or apical views in 81 (81%) patients and in 100 (100%) patients through the subcostal window. Consistency with LVOT VTI was moderate for RVOT VTI measured from the modified subcostal view (ICC 0.727; 95%CI: 0.62-0.808) and for RVOT VTI measured from the transthoracic view (0.715; 95%CI: 0.59-0.807). CONCLUSIONS Measurements of RVOT VTI are moderately consistent with measurements of LVOT VTI. Adding the modified subcostal window allows monitoring RVOT VTI in all the patients of this selected cohort, even those under mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2) rapidly spread worldwide as COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019), causing a costly and deadly pandemic. Different pulmonary manifestations represent this syndrome's most common clinical manifestations, together with the cardiovascular complications frequently observed in these patients. Ultrasound (US) evaluations of the lungs, heart, and lower limbs may be helpful in the diagnosis, follow-up, and prognosis of patients with COVID-19. Moreover, POCUS (point-of-care ultrasound) protocols are particularly useful for patients admitted to intensive care units. The present review aimed to highlight the clinical conditions during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in which the US represents a crucial diagnostic tool.

Abstract
The utilization of kidney replacement therapies (KRT) for fluid management of patients who are critically ill has significantly increased over the last years. Clinical studies have suggested that both fluid accumulation and high fluid removal rates are associated with adverse outcomes in the critically ill population receiving KRT. Importantly, the ideal indications and/or fluid management strategies that could favorably affect these patients are unknown; however, differentiating clinical scenarios in which effective fluid removal may provide benefit to the patient by avoiding congestive organ injury, compared with other settings in which this intervention may result in harm, is direly needed in the critical care nephrology field. In this review, we describe observational data related to fluid management with KRT, and examine the role of point-of-care ultrasonography as a potential tool that could provide physiologic insights to better individualize decisions related to fluid management through KRT.

Abstract
New physiologic findings related to sodium homeostasis and pathophysiologic associations require a new vision for sodium, fluid and blood pressure management in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients. The traditional dry weight probing approach that has prevailed for many years must be reviewed in light of these findings and enriched by availability of new tools for monitoring and handling sodium and water imbalances. A comprehensive and integrated approach is needed to improve further cardiac health in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Adequate management of sodium, water, volume and hemodynamic control of HD patients relies on a stepwise approach: the first entails assessment and monitoring of fluid status and relies on clinical judgement supported by specific tools that are online embedded in the HD machine or devices used offline; the second consists of acting on correcting fluid imbalance mainly through dialysis prescription (treatment time, active tools embedded on HD machine) but also on guidance related to diet and thirst management; the third consist of fine tuning treatment prescription to patient responses and tolerance with the support of innovative tools such as artificial intelligence and remote pervasive health trackers. It is time to come back to sodium and water imbalance as the root cause of the problem and not to act primarily on their consequences (fluid overload, hypertension) or organ damage (heart; atherosclerosis, brain). We know the problem and have the tools to assess and manage in a more precise way sodium and fluid in HD patients. We strongly call for a sodium first approach to reduce disease burden and improve cardiac health in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of hydration status is complex and difficult to detect in older persons. Different methods have been developed to determine hydration status in clinical settings, but their diagnostic accuracy remains questionable. AIMS The aim of this study was to determine and compare the diagnostic accuracy of all methods routinely used in acute settings to detect dehydration in a cohort of hospitalized oldest-old persons, using as primary reference standard blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine ratio. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted on 59 oldest-old subjects at hospital admission in an acute setting, with complete physical, biochemical, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and ultrasound assessment, including inferior vena cava diameters. RESULTS Fifty-nine (45 women/14 men) subjects, with a mean age of 87.4 ± 5.9 years, were studied. Based on the value of the BUN/creatinine ratio, the whole population was divided into hyperhydrated (n = 10), normohydrated (n = 42), and dehydrated (n = 7) groups. Among parameters indicating the hydration status, serum sodium levels (p < 0.0001), serum chloride levels (p = 0.010), calculated plasma osmolarity (p < 0.0001), and fat mass (FM) (p = 0.030) differed significantly among groups. A ROC analysis showed that the highest and most significant value for dehydration detection was the calculated plasma osmolarity (AUC: 0.820, p = 0.013), which significantly correlated with clinical parameters including heart rate (r = 0.300; p = 0.021), capillary refill (r = 0.379; p = 0.013) and systolic blood pressure (r = - 0.261; p = 0.046). DISCUSSION The measurement of calculated serum osmolarity is simple and inexpensive and may quickly provide high sensitivity and specificity indication of dehydration in hospitalized oldest-old persons.

Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) is a sudden, life-threatening condition, defined as a gradual or rapid onset of symptoms and/or signs of HF. AHF requires urgent medical attention, being the most frequent cause of unplanned hospital admission in patients above 65 years of age. AHF is associated with a 4–12% in-hospital mortality rate and a 21–35% 1-year mortality rate post-discharge. Considering the serious prognosis in AHF patients, it is very important to understand the mechanisms and haemodynamic status in an individual AHF patient, thus preventing end-organ failure and death. Haemodynamic monitoring is a serial assessment of cardiovascular function, intended to detect physiologic abnormalities at the earliest stages, determine which interventions could be most effective, and provide the basis for initiating the most appropriate therapy and evaluate its effects. Over the past decades, haemodynamic monitoring techniques have evolved greatly. Nowadays, they range from very invasive to non-invasive, from intermittent to continuous, and in terms of the provided parameters. Invasive techniques contain pulmonary artery catheterization and transpulmonary thermodilution. Minimally invasive techniques include oesophageal Doppler and noncalibrated pulse wave analysis. Non-invasive techniques contain echocardiography, bioimpedance, and bioreactance techniques as well as non-invasive pulse contour methods. Each of these techniques has specific indications and limitations. In this article, we aimed to provide a pathophysiological explanation of the physical terms and parameters used for haemodynamic monitoring in AHF and to summarize the working principles, advantages, and disadvantages of the currently used methods of haemodynamic monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The validation of inferior vena cava (IVC) respiratory variation for predicting volume responsiveness is still under debate, especially in spontaneously breathing patients. The present study aims to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of IVC variability for volume assessment in the patients after abdominal surgery under artificially or spontaneously breathing. METHODS A total of fifty-six patients after abdominal surgeries in the anesthesia intensive care unit ward were included. All patients received ultrasonographic examination before and after the fluid challenge of 5 ml/kg crystalloid within 15 min. The same measurements were performed when the patients were extubated. The IVC diameter, blood flow velocity-time integral of the left ventricular outflow tract, and cardiac output (CO) were recorded. Responders were defined as an increment in CO of 15% or more from baseline. RESULTS There were 33 (58.9%) mechanically ventilated patients and 22 (39.3%) spontaneously breathing patients responding to fluid resuscitation, respectively. The area under the curve was 0.80 (95% CI: 0.68-0.90) for the IVC dimeter variation (cIVC1) in mechanically ventilated patients, 0.87 (95% CI: 0.75-0.94) for the collapsibility of IVC (cIVC2), and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.73-0.93) for the minimum IVC diameter (IVCmin) in spontaneously breathing patients. The optimal cutoff value was 15.32% for cIVC1, 30.25% for cIVC2, and 1.14 cm for IVCmin. Furthermore, the gray zone for cIVC2 was 30.72 to 38.32% and included 23.2% of spontaneously breathing patients, while 17.01 to 25.93% for cIVC1 comprising 44.6% of mechanically ventilated patients. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that cIVC was an independent predictor of volume assessment for patients after surgery irrespective of breathing modes. CONCLUSION IVC respiratory variation is validated in predicting patients' volume responsiveness after abdominal surgery irrespective of the respiratory modes. However, cIVC or IVCmin in spontaneously breathing patients was superior to cIVC in mechanically ventilated patients in terms of clinical utility, with few subjects in the gray zone for the volume responsiveness appraisal. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR-INR-17013093 . Initial registration date was 24/10/2017.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiotoxicity represents the primary cause of death in acute aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning. Prompt supportive care can improve patient survival. This study assessed the role of echocardiography in estimating the survival probability of AlP-poisoned patients admitted to the intensive care unit. METHODS A prospective cohort study of symptomatic acute AlP poisoned patients was conducted between September 2019 and December 2020. Patients were subjected to history taking, clinical examination, To be included, patient evaluation needed to include electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic studies. The statistical analysis assessed the association between patient survival and relevant factors. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazard regression. RESULTS A total of 90 patients met inclusion criteria. Electrocardiographic abnormalities were detected in 38.1% of survivors and 82.6% of non-survivors (p < 0.001). Survivors had a higher mean left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) (50.86 ± 6.30% vs. 26.52 ± 7.64%, respectively, p < 0.001) and a lower percentage of global LV hypokinesia (4.8% vs. 94.2%, p < 0.001). The mean survival time was higher among patients with LVEF ≥ 50% than those with LVEF = 41-49% and ≤ 40% (p = 0.014 and 0.001, respectively). The hazard of death was 4.42 and 5.40 times greater in patients with LVEF ≤ 40% or with global LV hypokinesia, respectively. Regression revealed that the global LV hypokinesia, ECG abnormalities, and decreased LVEF and oxygen saturation were significantly associated with the risk of death (hazard ratios: 4.382, 3.348, 0.957, and 0.971, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Echocardiography represents a valuable diagnostic tool to assess cardiac function in acute AlP poisoning. Both LVEF and global LV hypokinesia significantly impact the survival of AlP-poisoned patients. Echocardiography was superior to ECG changes in terms of accuracy for the prediction of mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether early intensive care transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can improve the prognosis of patients with mechanical ventilation (MV). DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Patients undergoing MV for more than 48 hours, based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database and the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD), were selected. PARTICIPANTS 2931 and 6236 patients were recruited from the MIMIC-III database and the eICU database, respectively. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were 30-day mortality from the date of ICU admission, days free of MV and vasopressors 30 days after ICU admission, use of vasoactive drugs, total intravenous fluid and ventilator settings during the first day of MV. RESULTS We used propensity score matching to analyse the association between early TTE and in-hospital mortality and sensitivity analysis, including the inverse probability weighting model and covariate balancing propensity score model, to ensure the robustness of our findings. The adjusted OR showed a favourable effect between the early TTE group and in-hospital mortality (MIMIC: OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.65 to 0.94, p=0.01; eICU-CRD: OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.67 to 0.86, p<0.01). Early TTE was also associated with 30-day mortality in the MIMIC database (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.88, p=0.001). Furthermore, those who had early TTE had both more ventilation-free days (only in eICU-CRD: 23.48 vs 24.57, p<0.01) and more vasopressor-free days (MIMIC: 18.22 vs 20.64, p=0.005; eICU-CRD: 27.37 vs 28.59, p<0.001) than the control group (TTE applied outside of the early TTE and no TTE at all). CONCLUSIONS Early application of critical care TTE during MV is beneficial for improving in-hospital mortality. Further investigation with prospectively collected data is required to validate this relationship.

Abstract
Kidney transplant recipients are often treated with a large volume of infusion to attain adequate graft perfusion in the early perioperative period. However, it remains unknown whether this fluid therapy is renal responsive or a contributing factor to fluid overload complications. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of all recipients who received deceased donor kidney transplantation at an academic teaching hospital from January 2015 to April 2019. Our exposure of interest was early perioperative fluid balance. The primary outcome was graft function at 1, 6, and 12 months after transplantation. The secondary outcome was cardiopulmonary and gastrointestinal complications. Fluid balance was not significantly correlated with graft function in short- or long-term periods. Postoperative complications were higher in recipients with increased fluid balance. Delayed graft function was significantly related to cardiopulmonary and gastrointestinal complications. Cardiovascular disease and high BMI of recipients were strong risk factors for cardiopulmonary complications. Fluid overload was prevalent in the early perioperative period of kidney transplantation. It did not promote renal recovery, but was associated with a high risk of complications. Our findings might be a useful indicator to optimize the perioperative fluid management of kidney transplant recipients.

Abstract
We investigated the role of echocardiographic indices consisting of left ventricular end-diastolic area (LVEDA) in combination with Doppler-derived surrogates of diastolic compliance and filling (E/E′, E′/S′, E′/A′; early transmitral flow velocity (E), tissue Doppler-derived early (E′) diastolic, late (A′) diastolic, or peak systolic (S′) velocity of the mitral annulus) in predicting fluid responsiveness in off-pump coronary surgery. Hemodynamic and echocardiographic variables were prospectively assessed under general anesthesia before and after a fluid challenge of 6 mL/kg during apnea at atmospheric pressure in 64 patients with LV ejection fraction ≥40%. Forty patients (63%) were fluid responders (≥15% increase in stroke volume index). E/E′ and E′/S′ could predict fluid responsiveness with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56–0.85; p = 0.006) and 0.68 (95% CI, 0.54–0.82; p = 0.017), respectively. The combination of LVEDA and E/E′ showed incremental predictive ability for fluid responsiveness compared with LVEDA (AUROC, 0.60; p = 0.170) or pulse pressure variation (AUROC, 0.70; p = 0.002), yielding the highest AUROC of 0.78 (95% CI, 0.66–0.90; p < 0.001). The combined index of echocardiographic variables reflecting LV dimension (LVEDA) and diastolic compliance and filling (E/E′) is a potentially useful predictor of fluid responsiveness.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the plethysmographic variability index ("PVi") can predict preload responsiveness in patients with nasal high flow (NHF) (≥30 L/min) with any sign of hypoperfusion. "Preload responsiveness" was defined as a ≥10% increase in stroke volume (SV), measured by transthoracic echocardiography, after passive leg raising. SV and PVi were reassessed in preload responders after receiving a 250-mL fluid challenge. Twenty patients were included and 12 patients (60%) were preload responders. Responders showed higher baseline mean PVi (24% vs. 13%; P = 0.001) and higher mean PVi variation (ΔPVi) after passive leg raising (6.8% vs. -1.7%; P < 0.001). No differences between mean ΔPVi after passive leg raising and mean ΔPVi after fluid challenge were observed (6.8% vs. 7.4%; P = 0.24); and both values were strongly correlated (r = 0.84; P < 0.001). Baseline PVi and ΔPVi after passive leg raising showed excellent diagnostic accuracy identifying preload responders (AUROC 0.92 and 1.00, respectively). Baseline PVi ≥ 16% had a sensitivity of 91.7% and a specificity of 87.5% for detecting preload responders. Similarly, ΔPVi after passive leg raising ≥2% had a 100% of both sensitivity and specificity. Thus, PVi might predict "preload responsiveness" in patients treated with NHF, suggesting that it may guide fluid administration in these patients.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study that analyzes the use of noninvasive plethysmographic variability index (PVi) for preload assessment in patients treated with nasal high flow (NHF). Its results showed that PVi might identify preload responders. Therefore, PVi may be used in the day-to-day clinical decision-making process in critically ill patients treated with NHF, helping to provide adequate resuscitation volume.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess focused cardiac ultrasound impact on clinician hemodynamic characterization of patients with suspected septic shock as well as expert-generated focused cardiac ultrasound algorithm performance. DESIGN Retrospective, observational study. SETTING Single-center, noncardiac PICU. PATIENTS Less than 18 years old receiving focused cardiac ultrasound study within 72 hours of sepsis pathway initiation from January 2014 to December 2016. INTERVENTIONS Hemodynamics of patients with suspected septic shock were characterized as fluid responsive, myocardial dysfunction, obstructive physiology, and/or reduced systemic vascular resistance by a bedside clinician before and immediately following focused cardiac ultrasound performance. The clinician's post-focused cardiac ultrasound hemodynamic assessments were compared with an expert-derived focused cardiac ultrasound algorithmic hemodynamic interpretation. Subsequent clinical management was assessed for alignment with focused cardiac ultrasound characterization and association with patient outcomes. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Seventy-one patients with suspected septic shock (median, 4.7 yr; interquartile range, 1.6-8.1) received clinician performed focused cardiac ultrasound study within 72 hours of sepsis pathway initiation (median, 2.1 hr; interquartile range, -1.5 to 11.8 hr). Two patients did not have pre-focused cardiac ultrasound and 23 patients did not have post-focused cardiac ultrasound hemodynamic characterization by clinicians resulting in exclusion from related analyses. Post-focused cardiac ultrasound clinician hemodynamic characterization differed from pre-focused cardiac ultrasound characterization in 67% of patients (31/46). There was substantial concordance between clinician's post-focused cardiac ultrasound and algorithm hemodynamic characterization (33/48; κ = 0.66; CI, 0.51-0.80). Fluid responsive (κ = 0.62; CI, 0.40-0.84), obstructive physiology (к = 0.87; CI, 0.64-1.00), and myocardial dysfunction (1.00; CI, 1.00-1.00) demonstrated substantial to perfect concordance. Management within 4 hours of focused cardiac ultrasound aligned with algorithm characterization in 53 of 71 patients (75%). Patients with aligned management were less likely to have a complicated course (14/52, 27%) compared with misaligned management (8/19, 42%; p = 0.25). CONCLUSIONS Incorporation of focused cardiac ultrasound in the evaluation of patients with suspected septic shock frequently changed a clinician's characterization of hemodynamics. An expert-developed algorithm had substantial concordance with a clinician's post-focused cardiac ultrasound hemodynamic characterization. Management aligned with algorithm characterization may improve outcomes in children with suspected septic shock.

Abstract
Fluid management is a cornerstone in the treatment of burns and, thus, many different formulas were tested for their ability to match the fluid requirements for an adequate resuscitation. Thereof, the Parkland-Baxter formula, first introduced in 1968, is still widely used since then. Though using nearly the same formula to start off, the definition of normovolemia and how to determine the volume status of burn patients has changed dramatically over years. In first instance, the invention of the transpulmonary thermodilution (TTD) enabled an early goal directed fluid therapy with acceptable invasiveness. Furthermore, the introduction of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) has triggered more individualized schemes of fluid therapy. This article explores the historical developments in the field of burn resuscitation, presenting different options to determine the fluid requirements without missing the red flags for hyper- or hypovolemia. Furthermore, the increasing rate of co-morbidities in burn patients calls for a more sophisticated fluid management adjusting the fluid therapy to the actual necessities very closely. Therefore, formulas might be used as a starting point, but further fluid therapy should be adjusted to the actual need of every single patient. Taking the developments in the field of individualized therapies in intensive care in general into account, fluid management in burn resuscitation will also be individualized in the near future.

Abstract
AbstractFluid resuscitation is the initial therapy for septic shock worldwide. Prediction of fluid responsiveness is essential for optimizing fluid administration. Only few pediatric studies have evaluated the role of inferior vena cava (IVC) as a reliable predictor of fluid responsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of IVC parameters as predictors of fluid responsiveness in children (under the age of 5 years) having septic shock at different times from admission. A prospective observational study included 51 children having septic shock. It was conducted in the nine-bedded pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital from January 1, 2018, to the August 31, 2018. Echocardiography was used to assess minimal and maximal IVC diameters and its distensibility index with simultaneous assessment of stroke volume (SV), at 1, 6, and 24 hours from admission. The decision to give fluid in these children was thereby based on the presence of at least one sign of inadequate tissue perfusion. SV was reassessed directly after administration of a fluid bolus of 10 mL/kg over 10 minutes. Fluid responsiveness was considered adequate when there was ≥ 10% increase in SV after fluid bolus. Minimal IVC diameter indexed to body surface area and its distensibility index can be predictors of fluid responsiveness at all times: 1 hour (area under curve [AUC] = 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.77–0.96), 6 hours (AUC = 0.86; 95% CI = 0.67–0.97), and 24 hours (AUC = 0.77; 95% CI = 0.6–0.95). IVC distensibility index can also predict fluid responsiveness at 1 hour (AUC= 0.87; 95% CI = 0.74–0.95), 6 hours (AUC = 0.86; 95% CI = 0.73–0.94), and 24 hours (AUC = 1; 95% CI = 0.77–1). The cutoff points of each parameter differed from time to time (contradicts with previous statement that says it is predictor at all times). The maximum IVC diameter could not predict fluid responsiveness at any time from admission. Minimal IVC diameter and its distensibility index were feasible noninvasive surrogates of fluid responsiveness in pediatric septic shock at different times from admission.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered our approach to inpatient echocardiography delivery. There is now a greater focus to address key clinical questions likely to make an immediate impact in management, particularly during the period of widespread infection. Handheld echocardiography (HHE) can be used as a first-line assessment tool, limiting scanning time and exposure to high viral load. This article describes a potential role for HHE during a pandemic. We propose a protocol with a reporting template for a focused core dataset necessary in delivering an acute echocardiography service in the setting of a highly contagious disease, minimising risk to the operator. We cover the scenarios typically encountered in the acute cardiology setting and how an expert trained echocardiography team can identify such pathologies using a limited imaging format and include cardiac presentations encountered in those patients acutely unwell with COVID-19.

Abstract
COVID-19 has caused great devastation in the past year. Multi-organ point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) including lung ultrasound (LUS) and focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) as a clinical adjunct has played a significant role in triaging, diagnosis and medical management of COVID-19 patients. The expert panel from 27 countries and 6 continents with considerable experience of direct application of PoCUS on COVID-19 patients presents evidence-based consensus using GRADE methodology for the quality of evidence and an expedited, modified-Delphi process for the strength of expert consensus. The use of ultrasound is suggested in many clinical situations related to respiratory, cardiovascular and thromboembolic aspects of COVID-19, comparing well with other imaging modalities. The limitations due to insufficient data are highlighted as opportunities for future research.

Abstract
On June 17 to 18, 2019, the American Burn Association, in conjunction with Underwriters Laboratories, convened a group of experts on burn resuscitation in Washington, DC. The goal of the meeting was to identify and discuss novel research and strategies to optimize the process of burn resuscitation. Patients who sustain a large thermal injury (involving >20% of the total body surface area [TBSA]) face a sequence of challenges, beginning with burn shock. Over the last century, research has helped elucidate much of the underlying pathophysiology of burn shock, which places multiple organ systems at risk of damage or dysfunction. These studies advanced the understanding of the need for fluids for resuscitation. The resultant practice of judicious and timely infusion of crystalloids has improved mortality after major thermal injury. However, much remains unclear about how to further improve and customize resuscitation practice to limit the morbidities associated with edema and volume overload. Herein, we review the history and pathophysiology of shock following thermal injury, and propose some of the priorities for resuscitation research. Recommendations include: studying the utility of alternative endpoints to resuscitation, reexamining plasma as a primary or adjunctive resuscitation fluid, and applying information about inflammation and endotheliopathy to target the underlying causes of burn shock. Undoubtedly, these future research efforts will require a concerted effort from the burn and research communities.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the predictive value of velocity time integral (VTI) of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) on volume expansion test (VET) as an indicator of volume responsiveness in septic shock patients. Septic shock patients undergoing mechanical ventilation were recruited. The hemodynamic parameters before and after VE were monitored by pulse indicated continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) and echocardiography. Heart rate, cardiac index (CI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure, stroke volume variation (SVV), CI and variation of pulse pressure (PPV), and the changes in cardiac parameters (Dheart rate, Dmean arterial pressure, Dcentral venous pressure, DSVV, DCI, and DPPV) were determined. The relationships of hemodynamic parameters and their changes with DVTI were further evaluated with Pearson relation analysis. The value of these parameters in fluid responsiveness prediction was evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results showed that 44 VETs were performed in 44 septic shock patients with responsiveness in 24 patients and non-responsiveness in 20. The CI increased by ≥ 15% in responsive patients, but by<15% in non-responsive patients after VET. There were significant differences in the SVV and PPV after VET between responsive and non-responsive groups. DSVV, DPPV, and DCI were positively related to DVTI. The area under ROC curve (AUC) for SVV in fluid responsiveness prediction was 0.80, and the sensitivity and specificity of SVV were 66.5% and 95%, respectively, when the cut-off value was 24.8%. The AUC for PPV in fluid responsiveness prediction was 0.843, and the sensitivity and specificity of PPV were 83.3% and 75%, respectively, when the cut-off value was 25.8%. The AUC for DVTILVOT in fluid responsiveness prediction was 0.956, and the sensitivity and specificity were 87.5% and 95%, respectively, when the cut-off value was 15.9%. In conclusion, DVTILVOT is effective to predict fluid responsiveness after VET in mechanical ventilation patients with septic shock. It may serve as a new, noninvasive and functional hemodynamic parameter with the same accuracy to SVV.

J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio) 2020; 30:677-686. [PMID: 33063922 DOI: 10.1111/vec.13009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2018] [Revised: 02/03/2019] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of the caudal vena cava collapsibility index (CVCCI) as a predictor of fluid responsiveness in hospitalized, critically ill dogs with hemodynamic or tissue perfusion abnormalities. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Private referral center. ANIMALS Twenty-seven critically ill, spontaneously breathing dogs with compromised hemodynamics or tissue hypoperfusion. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The electronic medical records were searched for dogs admitted for any cause, from August 2016 to December 2017. We included dogs with ultrasound measurements of: CVCCI, performed at baseline; and velocity time integral (VTI) of the subaortic blood flow, carried out before and after a fluid load. CVCCI was estimated as: (maximum diameter-minimum diameter/maximum diameter) × 100. Dogs in which VTI increased ≥15% were considered fluid responders. The CVCCI accurately predicted fluid responsiveness with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.96 (95% CI, 0.88 to 1.00). The optimal cut-off of CVCCI that better discriminated between fluid responders and nonresponders was 27%, with 100.0% sensitivity and 83.3% specificity. At baseline, fluid responders had lower VTI (5.48 [4.26 to 7.40] vs 10.61 [7.38 to 13.23] cm, P = 0.004) than nonresponders. The basal maximum diameter of the caudal vena cava adjusted to body weight was not different between responders and nonresponders (0.050 [0.030 to 0.100] vs 0.079 [0.067 to 0.140] cm/kg, P = 0.339). The increase in VTI was related to basal CVCCI (R = 0.60, P = 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis showed narrow 95% limits of agreement between measurements of CVCCI and VTI performed by different observers or by the same observer. CONCLUSIONS The results of this small cohort study suggest that CVCCI can accurately predict fluid responsiveness in critically ill dogs with perfusion abnormalities. Further research is necessary to extrapolate these results to larger populations of hospitalized dogs.

Optimal timing of echocardiography for heart failure inpatients in Japanese institutions: OPTIMAL Study. ESC Heart Fail 2020; 7:4213-4221. [PMID: 33006275 PMCID: PMC7754717 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure (HF) provided by the European Society of Cardiology state that echocardiography is recommended for the assessment of the myocardial structure and function of subjects with suspected HF including HF with reduced (HFrEF), mid-range (HFmrEF), and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) as class I of recommendation and level C of evidence. However, the impact of timing of echocardiography on survival for hospitalized HF patients or the prevalence of echocardiography during their stay has not yet been fully investigated. Therefore, we designed and conducted a prospective multicentre study, Optimal Timing of Echocardiography for Heart Failure Inpatients in Japanese Institutions (OPTIMAL) study, to investigate and evaluate the prevalence of echocardiography during the in-hospital stay of HF patients, and the impact of timing of echocardiography on their survival. METHODS AND RESULTS OPTIMAL was based on a nationwide, prospective, multicentre registry at 10 institutions in Japan endorsed by the Japanese Society of Echocardiography. A total of 601 patients hospitalized with HF were enrolled between August 2016 and July 2018 at the participating centres. Their mean age was 73.9 ± 13.0 years, left ventricular ejection fraction was 37.0% (26.0-50.0), and 256 patients (42.6%) were female. Admission echocardiography (admission echo) was categorized as either standard or point-of-care echocardiography performed within 3 days of admission, as was pre-discharge echocardiography (pre-discharge echo) within 3 days of discharge. The primary endpoint was defined as cardiovascular death over a median follow-up period of 18.9 months (9.3-26.5 months). Admission echo was performed for 476 patients (79.2%) and pre-discharge echo for 216 patients (35.9%). The primary endpoint of cardiovascular death occurred in 65 patients (10.8%). Kaplan-Meier curve findings indicated that survival of patients with pre-discharge echo was significantly better than that of patients without it (log-rank P < 0.001), and the same findings were obtained for patients with HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF. However, survival of patients with and without admission echo was similar (log-rank P = 0.33). CONCLUSIONS This OPTIMAL study prospectively showed the importance of pre-discharge echo for hospitalized HF patients. Careful attention is needed regarding the haemodynamic status of HF patients by administering pre-discharge echo to avoid HF re-hospitalization after discharge, and pre-discharge echo may provide additional information for deciding the appropriate discharge time. Our findings may thus offer a new insight into the management of hospitalized HF patients.

Abstract
Cardiac ultrasound is increasingly used to guide hemodynamic decision making in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This article focuses on likely future progress in training, accreditation, digital connectivity, miniaturization, and modality development. Many documents have been published internationally to guide cardiac ultrasound training, accreditation, and implementation in the NICU, but challenges remain in providing assessments of hemodynamic status without risking missed structural diagnoses. Advances in simulation training and digital connectivity provide an opportunity to standardize approaches across institutions and continents. Development of machine learning and ultrasound modalities in turn provide huge scope for improving robustness and completeness of assessment.

Abstract
The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 has put an immense strain on healthcare facilities around the world. Unique challenges are being faced in the adequate management of rapidly increasing number of cases while ensuring adequate healthcare providers apostrophe safety. Issues related to the difficulty of examination while wearing personal protective equipment, need for objectivity in triage and testing of patients, and evidence-based management of the critically ill has resulted in reliance on longitudinal radiological assessment. There are a number of portability, disinfection and radiation exposure related problems with the use of X-rays and computerized tomography (CT). Point of care ultrasonography provides a pragmatic, safe, and repeatable approach for addressing the pertinent clinical questions that have traditionally relied on X-rays and CT scans. Here, we summarize the use ultrasound assessment can play in the triage, identification, and subsequent management of patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to spread across the globe, the knowledge of its epidemiology, clinical features, and management is rapidly evolving. Nevertheless, the data on optimal fluid management strategies for those who develop critical illness remain sparse. Adding to the challenge, the fluid volume status of these patients has been found to be dynamic. Some present with several days of malaise, gastrointestinal symptoms, and consequent hypovolemia requiring aggressive fluid resuscitation, while a subset develop acute respiratory distress syndrome with renal dysfunction and lingering congestion necessitating restrictive fluid management. Accurate objective assessment of volume status allows physicians to tailor the fluid management goals throughout this wide spectrum of critical illness. Conventional point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) enables the reliable assessment of fluid status and reducing the staff exposure. However, due to specific characteristics of COVID-19 (e.g., rapidly expanding lung lesions), a single imaging method such as lung POCUS will have significant limitations. Herein, we suggest a Tri-POCUS approach that represents concurrent bedside assessment of the lungs, heart, and the venous system. This combinational approach is likely to overcome the limitations of the individual methods and provide a more precise evaluation of the volume status in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echocardiography is increasingly performed among septic patients as a routine part of evaluation and management in the intensive care unit (ICU). The rate of unanticipated critical findings (e.g., severe left or right ventricular dysfunction or pericardial tamponade) on such echocardiograms is unknown. We evaluated a retrospective cohort of septic ICU patients in whom transthoracic echocardiography was performed as a routine part of sepsis management. In addition to identifying critical findings, we defined whether each critical finding was anticipated, and whether the clinical team responded to the critical finding. The primary outcome was rate of unanticipated critical findings, which we hypothesized would occur in fewer than 5% of patients. We also performed an exploratory analysis of the association between unanticipated critical finding and mortality, controlling for severity of illness. RESULTS We studied 393 patients. Unanticipated critical findings were identified in 5% (95% CI 3-7%) of patients (n = 20). Among the 20 patients with unanticipated critical findings, a response to the unanticipated critical finding was identified in 12 (60%) patients. An unanticipated critical finding was not significantly associated with 28-day mortality when controlling for admission APACHE II (p = 0.27). CONCLUSIONS Unanticipated critical findings on echocardiograms in septic ICU patients are uncommon. The potential therapeutic relevance of echocardiography to sepsis is more likely related to hemodynamic management than to traditional cardiac diagnoses. Research studies that employ blinded echocardiograms in septic patients may anticipate unblinding for critical findings approximately 1 in every 20 echocardiograms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little published data investigating non-invasive cardiac output monitoring in the emergency department (ED). We assess here the accuracy of five non-invasive methods in detecting fluid responsiveness in the ED: (1) common carotid artery blood flow, (2) suprasternal aortic Doppler, (3) bioreactance, (4) plethysmography with digital vascular unloading method, and (5) inferior vena cava collapsibility index. Left ventricular outflow tract echocardiography derived velocity time integral is the reference standard. This follows an assessment of feasibility and repeatability of these methods in the same cohort of ED patients. METHODS This is a prospective observational study of non-invasive methods for assessing fluid responsiveness in the ED. Participants were non-ventilated ED adult patients requiring intravenous fluid resuscitation. Sensitivity and specificity of each method in determining the fluid responsiveness status of participants is determined in comparison to the reference standard. RESULTS Thirty-three patient data sets were included for analysis. The specificity and sensitivity to detect fluid responders was 46.2 and 45% for common carotid artery blood flow (CCABF), 61.5 and 63.2% for suprasternal artery Doppler (SSAD), 46.2 and 50% for bioreactance, 50 and 41.2% for plethysmography vascular unloading technique (PVUT), and 63.6 and 47.4% for inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI), respectively. Analysis of agreement with Cohen's Kappa - 0.08 for CCABF, 0.24 for SSAD, - 0.04 for bioreactance, - 0.08 for PVUT, and 0.1 for IVCCI. CONCLUSION In this study, non-invasive methods were not found to reliably identify fluid responders. Non-invasive methods of identifying fluid responders are likely to play a key role in improving patient outcome in the ED in fluid depleted states such as sepsis. These results have implications for future studies assessing the accuracy of such methods.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study investigated the association between in-hospital survival and two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography within 24 hours after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients who underwent in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ICPR) after in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (IHCA). The 2D-echo and non-2D-echo groups comprised eligible patients who underwent transthoracic 2D echocardiography performed by the cardiology team within 24 hours after ROSC and those who did not, respectively. After propensity score (PS) matching, 142 and 284 patients in the 2D-echo and non-2D-echo groups, respectively, were included. A logistic regression analysis showed that the likelihood of in-hospital survival was 2.35-fold higher in the 2D-echo group than in the non-2D-echo group (P < 0.001). Regarding IHCA aetiology, in-hospital survival after cardiac arrest of a cardiac cause was 2.51-fold more likely in the 2D-echo group than in the non-2D-echo group (P < 0.001), with no significant inter-group difference in survival after cardiac arrest of a non-cardiac cause (P = 0.120). In this study, 2D echocardiography performed within 24 hours after ROSC was associated with better in-hospital survival outcomes for patients who underwent ICPR for IHCA with a cardiac aetiology. Thus, 2D echocardiography may be performed within 24 hours after ROSC in patients experiencing IHCA to enable better treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability and accuracy of aortic flow velocity-time integral variation (ΔVTI) and peak aortic velocity variation (ΔVpeak) compared with pulse pressure variation (PPV) to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS A group of 50 mechanically ventilated dogs with spontaneous hypotension during orthopedic or oncologic surgery. METHODS Investigations were performed in the surgery room. When mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased to <65 mmHg, measurements were performed before and after a fluid challenge (lactated Ringer's solution 5 mL kg-1 over 15 minutes). Responders were defined as a change in stroke volume (SV; transesophageal Doppler) ≥15%. Data were analyzed using paired/unpaired t test or Mann-Whitney/Wilcoxon test when appropriate and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves; a p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS After the fluid challenge, 35 (70%) of 50 dogs were responders with significant increases in SV and decreases in PPV; 15 dogs were nonresponders. ΔVTI and ΔVpeak correlated with a 15% increase in SV. The optimum cut-off value for PPV was 15.6% (sensitivity, 88%; specificity, 100%), for ΔVTI was 10.65% (sensitivity, 65%; specificity, 100%) and for ΔVpeak was 10.15% (sensitivity, 80%; specificity, 100%). The area under the ROC curve for PPV was (0.93 ± 0.08) and for ΔVpeak was (0.89 ± 0.09), before fluid challenge. The gray zone area spread from 6.15% to 15.6% for PPV (18 dogs), 2.45% to 10.65% for ΔVTI (22 dogs) and 0.6% to 10.15% for ΔVpeak (25 dogs). CONCLUSIONS When using mechanical ventilation, ΔVTI and ΔVpeak predicted fluid responsiveness with the same ability as PPV, based on the area under the ROC curve analysis. However, PPV showed great accuracy demonstrated by a narrower gray zone that included fewer individuals. CLINICAL RELEVANCE ΔVTI and ΔVpeak can be used as indices of fluid responsiveness in anesthetized dogs.

Abstract
The fluid resuscitation of patients with acute circulatory failure aims to
increase systolic volume and consequently improve cardiac output for better
tissue oxygenation. However, this effect does not always occur because
approximately half of patients do not respond to fluids. The evaluation of fluid
responsiveness before their administration may help to identify patients who
would benefit from fluid resuscitation and avoid the risk of fluid overload in
the others. The dynamic parameters of fluid responsiveness evaluation are
promising predictive factors. Of these, the echocardiographic measurement of the
respiratory variation in the inferior vena cava diameter is easy to apply and
has been used in the hemodynamic evaluation of intensive care unit patients.
However, the applicability of this technique has many limitations, and the
present studies are heterogeneous and inconsistent across specific groups of
patients. We review the use of the inferior vena cava diameter respiratory
variation, measured via transthoracic echocardiography, to decide whether to
administer fluids to patients with acute circulatory failure in the intensive
care unit. We explore the benefits and limitations of this technique, its
current use, and the existing evidence.

Abstract
Increasingly, in major hospitals invasive monitoring endpoints are utilised to guide the acute resuscitation of burns. The aim of this review is to evaluate effects of invasive monitoring for major burns patients (>20% total body surface area) to prevent early organ dysfunction. Five databases were searched for randomised controlled trials and cohort studies that evaluated invasive monitoring within the acute phase (first 24 hours). Invasive monitoring included transesophageal echocardiogram, central venous pressure measurement, and pulmonary artery catheterisation. Primary outcomes included multiple organ failure scores, renal and cardiac dysfunction measurements, compartment syndrome and lactate at 24 hours. Secondary outcomes included mortality and intensive care unit stay. Ten studies involving 401 major burns patients were included. Data pooled from four studies demonstrated significantly improved cardiac index at 24 hours compared to non-invasive endpoints (MD: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.46-0.82, P=0.00001). Five studies pooled showed significantly increased urine output with invasive monitoring (MD: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.03-0.34, P=0.02), whereas there was no difference in blood lactate levels (MD: -0.11, 95% CI: -0.44-0.22, P=0.43). There was a trend for lower mortality in invasive monitoring groups compared with non-invasive controls; however, the difference was not significant. There remains insufficient evidence to determine whether invasive monitoring to guide fluid resuscitation improves patient outcomes after major burn trauma. Although meta-analysis determined significantly improved cardiac index and urine output, further studies are required.

Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use is widespread amongst emergency physicians (EPs). Many sonographic modalities have proven useful in the emergency department (ED), including basic echocardiography. Progressing to more advanced echocardiography allows for improved accuracy when making time-critical diagnoses and management decisions, particularly among the sickest patients. Acquisition of this skill set by EPs is feasible and enhances patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become an integral part of the physical examination. The effect on shared understanding of adding POCUS to the traditional examination is unknown, yet this is an often-described benefit of POCUS. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether the use of POCUS improves shared understanding between providers and patients about patients' diagnoses. METHODS This was a prospective controlled trial involving a convenience sample of hospitalized adults. Providers in the control arm performed usual care without POCUS, whereas providers in the study arm had the option to add POCUS. Surveys were administered to the subjects and their providers with questions on patient understanding of symptoms, diagnosis, and main contributors to their health problem. Two independent physicians rated the degree of shared understanding between patient and provider surveys. RESULTS Of the 64 patients enrolled in the study, 60 had complete data. There was increased shared understanding between providers and patients with respect to their diagnosis (POCUS 9.56 ± 0.63, non-POCUS 7.62 ± 1.63, P < 0.005) and main contributors (POCUS 9.65 ± 0.77, non-POCUS 8.30 ± 1.13, P < 0.005) in the POCUS arm compared with the non-POCUS arm. Patients also increased the self-rating of their understanding of their health problem in the POCUS arm. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that using POCUS improves patients' understanding of the diagnostic process. POCUS may be uniquely poised to enhance patients' understanding of and engagement in that process.

Pre-operative fluid bolus for improved haemodynamic stability during minor surgery: A prospectively randomized clinical trial. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2018; 62:1215-1222.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haemodynamic instability during the induction of anaesthesia and surgery is common and may be related to hypovolaemia caused by pre-operative fasting or chronic diuretic therapy. The aim of our prospective, controlled, randomized study was to test the hypothesis that a predefined fluid bolus given prior to general anaesthesia for minor surgery would increase haemodynamic stability during anaesthetic induction. METHODS Two hundred and nineteen fairly healthy adult patients requiring minor surgery were enrolled. All received standard treatment, including a pulse contour analysing device for non-invasive measurement of cardiac index. Infusion therapy was started in all patients at induction. The intervention group (106 patients) was randomized to receive an additional fluid bolus of 8 mL/kg Ringer's acetate solution before the induction of anaesthesia. The primary endpoint was the incidence of haemodynamic instability, defined as a significant reduction of blood pressure or cardiac index during induction of anaesthesia. RESULTS The interventional group had a lesser incidence of haemodynamic instability during induction (41.5% vs 56.6%, P = .025). This group also had higher cardiac index, stroke volume index, systolic and mean blood pressure and a greater left ventricular end-diastolic area. CONCLUSIONS A fluid bolus prior to anaesthesia reduced the incidence of haemodynamic instability during induction of general anaesthesia. The total fluid volume was slightly greater in the intervention group compared to the control group (1370 ± 439 mL vs 1219 ± 483 mL, P = .007). We conclude that a defined fluid bolus can help stabilizing haemodynamics in patients undergoing general anaesthesia.

CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2018; 22:198. [PMID: 30121088 PMCID: PMC6098822 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-018-2133-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2018] [Accepted: 07/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Background Transthoracic 3D cardiac analysis is enticing in its potential simplicity and wealth of data available. It has been suggested to be accurate vs magnetic resonance imaging in relatively stable patients, but feasibility and agreement with conventional echocardiographic assessment of stroke volume (SV) have not been thoroughly assessed in critically ill patients, who are traditionally harder to image. The objectives of this study were to compare 3D transthoracic volumetric analysis vs Doppler assessment of SV (which is suggested to be accurate in the critically ill) and Simpson’s biplane assessment in a cohort typical of the intensive care unit (ICU), where accurate assessment is important: mechanically ventilated patients with a significant ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch. We hypothesised that it would be feasible but might lack agreement. Methods Patients were imaged within 24 hours of admission. Inclusion criteria were adult patients, V/Q mismatch present (defined as a ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen < 300), and mechanically ventilated with Doppler SV assessment possible. Biventricular echocardiographic volumetric analysis was performed using Siemens SC2000 along with standard Simpson’s biplane and Doppler SV assessment. 3D images were unacceptable if two segments or more were unable to be seen in two volumetric planes. 3D left ventricular (3DLV) and 3D right ventricular (3DRV) analyses were performed with the Tomtec Imaging and Siemens Acuson platforms, respectively. Results Ninety-two patients were included (83 in sinus, 9 in atrial fibrillation). 3DLV and 3DRV analyses were feasible in 72% and 55% of patients, respectively; however, they underestimated SV compared with Doppler by 2.6 ml (± 10.4) and 4.1 ml (± 15.4), respectively. Limits of agreement for 2D, 3DLV and 3DRV volumetric analysis techniques were large. Conclusions 3DLV and 3DRV volumetric analyses appear feasible (obtainable) in the majority of mechanically ventilated ICU patients. Compared with the Doppler method, 3DLV and 3DRV volumetric analyses underestimate SV. The large limits of agreement between the methods also cast doubt on their comparability. Given the scenarios in which SV analysis is required (e.g., assessment of cardiac performance), our study cautions against the use of 3D SV clinically.

Abstract
Critical care ultrasound (CCUS) has been widely used as a useful tool to assist clinical judgement. The utilization should be integrated into clinical scenario and interact with other tests. No publication has reported this. We present a CCUS based "7-step approach" workflow-the PIEPEAR Workflow-which we had summarized and integrated our experience in CCUS and clinical practice into, and then we present two cases which we have applied the workflow into as examples. Step one is "problems emerged?" classifying the signs of the deterioration into two aspects: acute circulatory compromise and acute respiratory compromise. Step two is "information clear?" quickly summarizing the patient's medical history by three aspects. Step three is "focused exam launched": (1) focused exam of the heart by five views: the assessment includes (1) fast and global assessment of the heart (heart glance) to identify cases that need immediate life-saving intervention and (2) assessing the inferior vena cava, right heart, diastolic and systolic function of left heart, and systematic vascular resistance to clarify the hemodynamics. (2) Lung ultrasound exam is performed to clarify the predominant pattern of the lung. Step four is "pathophysiologic changes reported." The results of the focused ultrasound exam were integrated to conclude the pathophysiologic changes. Step five is "etiology explored" diagnosing the etiology by integrating Step two and Step four and searching for the source of infection, according to the clues extracted from the focused ultrasound exam; additional ultrasound exams or other tests should be applied if needed. Step six is "action" supporting the circulation and respiration sticking to Step four. Treat the etiologies according step five. Step seven is "recheck to adjust." Repeat focused ultrasound and other tests to assess the response to treatment, adjust the treatment if needed, and confirm or correct the final diagnosis. With two cases as examples presented, we insist that applying CCUS with 7-step approach workflow is easy to follow and has theoretical advantages. The coming research on its value is expected.
