ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of large-volume versus restrictive fluid resuscitation on hemodynamics and prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods:A total of 102 patients with severe acute pancreatitis who received treatment in The Second People's Hospital of Hefei, China between March 2018 and December 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo large-volume fluid resuscitation (control group, n = 51) or restrictive-volume fluid resuscitation (study group, n = 51). Hemodynamic indexes, intra-abdominal pressure and pulmonary function were compared between the two groups before and after resuscitation. All patients were followed up for 28 days after admission and their prognosis was recorded. Results:At 12 and 24 hours of resuscitation, intrathoracic blood volume index, global end-diastolic volume index, cardiac index, and central venous pressure in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). At 6 hours of resuscitation, cardiac index and central venous pressure in the study group were (4.87 ± 0.48) and (11.04 ± 2.08), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(4.53 ± 0.57), (9.48 ± 1.67), t = 3.25, 4.17, both P < 0.05). Before resuscitation, there was no significant difference in intra-abdominal pressure between the two groups ( P > 0.05). After resuscitation, intra-abdominal pressure in each group was significantly lower compared with that before resuscitation (both P < 0.05). After resuscitation, intra-abdominal pressure in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(12.78 ± 2.35) cmH 2O vs. (15.01 ± 2.42) cmH 2O, t = 4.72, P < 0.05). Before resuscitation, there were no significant differences in PaO 2 and oxygenation index between two groups (both P < 0.05). After resuscitation, PaO 2 and oxygenation index in each group were significantly higher compared with those before resuscitation (both P < 0.05). After resuscitation, PaO 2 and oxygenation index in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 3.02, 5.55, both P < 0.05). The incidence of abdominal compartment syndrome and the incidence of invasive mechanical ventilation in the study group were 27.45% (14/51) and 35.29% (18/51), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [47.06% (24/51), 56.86% (29/51), χ 2 = 4.19, 4.77, both P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, acute renal injury, abdominal drainage rate, mortality between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:Compared with large-volume fluid resuscitation, restrictive-volume fluid resuscitation can better improve hemodynamic indexes and pulmonary function, greatly decrease intra-abdominal pressure, and improve prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the effect of global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI)-guided fluid resuscitation on the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure and septic shock.@*Methods@#This study was a prospective randomized controlled study. Consecutive eligible patients were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method: control group (n=21) and experimental group (n=20). On the basis of routine treatment, patients in the control group received early goal-directed therapy until the central venous pressure (CVP) reaching 8-12 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), mean arterial pressure reaching over 65 mmHg, urine volume reaching over 0.5 ml·kg-1·h-1, and central venous oxygen saturation reaching more than 70%. On the basis of routine treatment, patients in the experimental group were monitored continuously on cardiac output with pulse indication and fluid resuscitation guided by volume index GEDI. The GEDI should be maintained on the range of 680-800 ml/m2. The remaining resuscitation goals were the same as control group. General clinical data of the two groups were collected at admission. Negative fluid balance onset time, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU mortality and 28-day mortality were compared between the two groups. The outcomes were recorded as listed: start time of negative fluid balance, duration of mechanical ventilation, mortality in ICU and 28-day mortality.@*Results@#There was no significant difference in age, sex, weight, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score and NYHA functional class score between the two groups (all P>0.05). The negative liquid balance onset time in the control group was 3.5 (2.5, 4.0) days, which was significantly longer than that in the experimental group (2.6 (2.0, 3.0) days,U=115.0, P=0.012). The duration of mechanical ventilation was 355 (118, 552) hours in the control group, which was significantly longer than that in the experimental group (132 (36.75, 233.3) hours, U=130, P=0.038). The ICU mortality was 38.1% (8/21) in the control group, tended to be higher than that in the experimental group (20.0%(4/20), χ2=1.620, P=0.203). The 28-day mortality was 42.9% (9/21) in the control group, similar as in the experimental group (25.0%(5/20), χ2=1.482,P=0.477).@*Conclusion@#Fluid resuscitation guided by volume index (GEDI) may improve the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure complicated with septic shock.

Objective@#To explore the guiding significance of pulse contour cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring technology in the treatment of fluid replacement during shock stage of extensive burn in clinic.@*Methods@#Sixty-five patients with extensive burn hospitalized in our unit from January 2014 to December 2018, conforming to the inclusion criteria, were recruited to conduct a prospective controlled research. According to the order of admission, 35 odd-numbered patients and 30 even-numbered patients were enrolled in routine rehydration group (25 males and 10 females) and PiCCO monitoring rehydration group (21 males and 9 females) respectively, with the age of (48±9) and (44±8) years respectively. All patients of the two groups were rehydrated according to the rehydration formula of the Third Military Medical University during shock stage. The rehydration speed was adjusted in routine rehydration group according to the general indexes of shock such as central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, urine volume, and clinical symptoms of patients. PiCCO monitoring was performed in patients of PiCCO monitoring rehydration group, and the global end-diastolic volume index combined with the other relevant indicators of PiCCO were used to guide rehydration on the basis of the monitoring indicators of routine rehydration group. The heart rates and positive fluid balance volumes at post injury hour (PIH) 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, and 72, the diuretic dosage at PIH 48 and 72, the total fluid replacement volumes, urine volumes, blood lactic acid, platelet count, and hematocrit at PIH 24, 48, and 72, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and the incidence of complications and death within 28 days after injury were compared between patients in the two groups. Data were processed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, t test, Bonferroni correction, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, and Fisher′s exact probability test.@*Results@#The heart rates of patients in the two groups were similar at PIH 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 56 (t=0.775, 1.388, 2.511, 2.203, 1.654, 2.303, 1.808, P>0.05), and the heart rates of patients in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group at PIH 64 and 72 were obviously lower than those of routine rehydration group (t=3.229, 3.357, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The positive fluid balance volumes of patients in the two groups were similar at PIH 8, 16, 40, and 56 (t=0.768, 1.670, 2.134, 2.791, P>0.05), and the positive fluid balance volumes of patients in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group at PIH 24, 32, 48, 64, and 72 were obviously less than those of routine rehydration group (t=3.364, 4.047, 2.930, 2.950, 2.976, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The amount of diuretics used by patients in the two groups was similar at PIH 48 and 72 (Z=-0.697, -1.239, P>0.05). The total fluid replacement volumes of patients in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group at PIH 24, 48, and 72 were (13 864±4 241), (9 532±2 272), and (8 480±2 180) mL, respectively, obviously more than those in routine rehydration group [(10 388±2 445), (8 095±1 720), and (7 059±1 297) mL, respectively, t=-3.970, -2.848, -3.137, P<0.05 or P<0.01]. The urine volumes of patients in the two groups at PIH 24 were close (t=-1.027, P>0.05). The urine volumes of patients in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group at PIH 48 and 72 were (3 051±702) and (3 202±624) mL respectively, obviously more than those in routine rehydration group [(2 401±588) and (2 582±624) mL respectively, t=-4.062, -4.001, P<0.01]. The levels of blood lactate acid of patients in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group at PIH 24, 48, and 72 were obviously lower than those in routine rehydration group (t=4.758, 6.101, 3.938, P<0.01). At PIH 24 and 48, the values of the platelet count of patients in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group were obviously higher than those in routine rehydration group (t=-2.853, -2.499, P<0.05), and the values of hematocrit of patients in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group were obviously lower than those in routine rehydration group (t=2.698, 4.167, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Both the platelet count and hematocrit of patients in the two groups were similar at PIH 72 (t=-1.363, 0.476, P>0.05). The length of ICU stay of patients in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group was obviously shorter than that of routine rehydration group (t=2.184, P<0.05). Within 28 days after injury, the incidence of complications of patients in routine rehydration group was obviously higher than that in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group (P<0.05), while the mortality rate of patients in routine rehydration group was similar to that in PiCCO monitoring rehydration group (P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#The application of PiCCO monitoring technology in monitoring fluid replacement in patients with extensive burn can quickly correct shock, reduce the occurrence of organ complications caused by improper fluid replacement, and shorten the length of ICU stay, which is of great significance in guiding the treatment of burn shock.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of global end diastolic volume index (GEDVI) on fluid resuscitation in elderly patients with septic shock. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Septic shock patients over 65 years admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Shandong Province, Zibo Central Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 20 cases in each group. In accordance with the guidelines for the treatment of septic shock, early goal-directed therapy (EGDT), rehydration in the control group was treated with the guide of central venous pressure (CVP); observation group was received pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring, and rehydration was treated according to the GEDVI and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), i.e. GEDVI was maintained in 650-800 mL/m2, EVLWI was not obviously increased compared with the basic value and without the emphasis of CVP. Initial acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ) score, sequential organ failure score (SOFA), procalcitonin (PCT), mean arterial pressure (MAP), lactic acid (Lac) and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2); serial Lac, central venous to arterial carbon dioxide pressure (Pcv-aCO2), fluid balance, the amount of noradrenaline accumulation, PaO2/FiO2 after 6, 24 and 48 hours resuscitation; mechanical ventilation time, incidence of acute heart failure, ICU hospitalization time and 28-day mortality were recorded. Results There was no significant difference in gender,age, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, primary disease, infection site and basal PCT, MAP, Lac, PaO2/FiO2 between the two groups. Compared with the control group, 6 hours Lac, Pcv-aCO2 recovery, positive fluid balance, noradrenaline accumulation and PaO2/FiO2 of the observation group showed no significant difference; positive fluid balance 24 hours in the recovery was significantly reduced (mL: 2919.80±986.44 vs. 3991.40±933.53), Pcv-aCO2 significantly decreased [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 5.55±1.43 vs. 7.10±2.38], PaO2/FiO2 significantly improved (mmHg: 194.80±28.57 vs. 177.65±23.46), and noradrenaline accumulation was increased significantly (mg: 40.99±20.69 vs. 27.31±19.34) with statistically significant difference (all P < 0.05); the blood level of Lac 48 hours in the recovery was significantly decreased (mmol/L: 1.16±0.89 vs. 1.85±1.01), Pcv-aCO2 (mmHg: 5.35±1.18 vs. 6.70±2.34), and PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg: 215.75±33.84 vs. 190.60±32.89) were further improved, the positive fluid balance was significantly reduced (mL: 3141.55±1245.69 vs. 4533.85±1416.67, all P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, mechanical ventilation time (days: 3.65±1.31 vs. 4.50±1.19), ICU hospitalization time (days: 5.80±1.67 vs. 7.15±2.30) was significantly shorter in the observation group (both P < 0.05), acute heart failure rate was decreased significantly (5.0% vs. 30.0%, P < 0.05), but the 28-day mortality showed no statistical significance (25.0% vs. 40.0%, P = 0.311). Conclusions Compared to the conventional EGDT methods, fluid resuscitation under the guidance of GEDVI in elderly patients with septic shock with less liquid loading, can achieve better oxygenation and reduce heart failure, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay, and play an important significant guidance for elderly patients' fluid resuscitation with septic shock.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate PICCO (pulse indicator continuous cardiac output) to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock.Methods We conducted a prospective study on 42 patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock.global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI),pulse pressure variation (PPV),stroke volume variation (SVV),central vein pressure (CVP) and other haemodynamic data were recorded before and after fluid administration of 500 mL of 6％ hydroxyethyl starch.Responders were defined as patients with an increase in stroke volume index of at least 15％ after fluid loading.Performance of variables was analyzed using receiver operator characteristics analysis.Results GEDVI and PPV,but not SVV and CVP,were able to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock 1 hrs after admission to intensive care unit (ICU).The best area under the ROC curve (AUC) was found for GEDVI (AUC 0.802,P ＜0.01) and PPV (AUC 0.752,P ＜0.01) ; the optimal cut-off of GEDVI and PPV were 643.5 mL/m2 and 13.5％,respectively.At this cut point,the sensitivity was 90.9％,the specificity was 91.9％,however,only GEDVI was able to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock 6hrs afteradmission to ICU.The best area under the ROC curve (AUC) was found for GEDVI (AUC 0.788,P ＜ 0.01).the GEDVI ＜ 559 mL/m2 during loading were found to predict volume responsiveness with a sensitivity of 100％,specificity of 62.5％.Conclusions GEDVI and PPV predict fluid responsiveness in patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock in the early hours.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the significance of global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) in acute kidney injury (AKI) after septic shock.Methods A retrospective analysis of 61 patients was performed.The patients were diagnosed of septic shock in emergency ward of Shenyang Military Hospital from 2012 March to 2013 May and were monitored by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO).The patients were divided into two groups:low GEDVI group (GEDVI ＜ 700 ml/m2,29 cases) and high GEDVI group (GEDVI≥700 ml/m2,32 cases) by evaluating GEDVI of 24 hour after PiCCO.Several physiologic and biochemical indexes were recorded,including the hemodynamic parameters at the beginning and the 24 h of PiCCO monitoring,Scr,BUN,lactic acid,incidence and mortality of AKI,baseline glomerular filtration rate,baseline Scr,APACHE Ⅱ scores,mortality during the period of emergency ward or within 28 d after the diagnosis.Results A total of 26 cases in high GEDVI group (81.3％) were attacked with AKI,while 16 cases in low GEDVI group (55.2％) were attacked with AKI,the incidence of AKI in high GEDVI group was significantly higher than that in the low GEDVI group.A COX regression analysis of mortality was performed between the patients staying at emergency ward and during 28 d after diagnosis.The results indicated that AKI and GEDVI had no relation with patients' death.Therefore,AKI and GEDVI could not be considered as the risk factors for the prognosis.Conclusions High GEDVI can significantly increase the incidence of AKI after septic shock,therefore high GEDVI should be avoided as much as possible in the course of clinical treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between global end diastolic volume index(GEDI)and central venous pressure(CVP)of severe sepsis patients during fluid resuscitation by pulse induced continuous cardiac output(PiCCO )test. Methods Sixty-four severe sepsis patients had been treated by fluid resuscitation strictly in accordance with the guidelines for treatment of sepsis in 2008. During the treatment,GEDI and corresponding CVP data were measured and recorded to observe the correctness of volume reaction under different CVP ranges,and the relativity between GEDI and CVP was analyzed. Results In the whole process of monitoring circulatory blood volume,no significant correlation between CVP and GEDI(r=-0.012,P>0.05)was found in severe patients with severe sepsis. When the CVP was in 0-8 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)or greater than 12 mm Hg,there was no correlation with the GEDI(r=-0.009,-0.020,respectively,both P>0.05). When the CVP was in 8-12 mm Hg at the 6 hours resuscitation target required by the guidelines,there was an obvious positive correlation between CVP and GEDI(r=0.653,P<0.01). Conclusion CVP is not suitable to be an exclusive target indicator for fluid resuscitation volume.
