ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the significance of oxygen stress test in 10 minutes after fluid resuscitation in the incidence and prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in septic shock patients.Methods From January 2014 to December 2017,fifty-eight patients with septic shock were enrolled.The 10 min oxygen challenge test was conducted using transcutaneous oximetry just before (T0) and 6 h (T1) after initiation of fluid resuscitation,and 10 min oxygen challenge test data(10 min OCT) at TO and T1 were then calculated,respectively.The enrolled patients were divided into L group (10 min OCT＜66 mmHg,32 cases) and H group (10 min OCT ≥66 mmHg,26 cases)according to the 10 min OCT value at T1.The hemodynamic variables and oxygen metabolism indexes,dose of vasoactive agents,10 min OCT at T0 and T1 were recorded,incidence and severity of septic shock-associated AKI,frequency of continuous renal replacement therapy,ICU mortality and 28 d mortality were compared between two groups,the risk factors associated with prognosis were analyzed using COX regression model.Results The hemodynamic variables and oxygen metabolism indexes and dose of vasoactive agents were comparable between two groups at TO and T1 (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of septic shock-associated AKI (78.1％ (25/32) vs.50.0％ (13/26),x2 =6.365),proportion of phase 3 AKI (53.1％ (17/32) vs.26.9％ (7/26),x2 =8.016) and frequency of continuous renal replacement therapy (46.9％ (15/32) vs.23.1％ (6/26),x2 =5.764) was higher in L group than those in H group(P＜0.05),and similarly were the ICU mortality (23.1％ (6/26)vs.53.1％ (17/32),x2 =7.134,P ＜ 0.05) and 28 d mortality (30.8％ (8/26) vs.62.5％ (20/32),x2 =6.067,P ＜0.05).Therefore,the 6 h 10 min OCT≥66 mmHg was a protective factor to improve the ICU mortality(RR =0.013,95％CI:0.021-0.396,P＜0.05) and 28 d mortality(RR=0.018,95％CI:0.009-0.280,P＜0.05) in patients with septic shock-associated AKI.Conclusion 10 min OCT imposes substantial imquence on the incidence,severity and prognosis of patients with septic shock-associated AKI,oxygen challenge test could improve the treatment of septic shock-associated AKI.
