ABSTRACT
RESUMO Introdução: A reversão precoce da hipoperfusão tecidual induzida é essencial para a sobrevida no choque séptico. No entanto, falta consenso sobre a melhor estratégia de ressuscitação inicial, uma vez que intervenções destinadas a toda a população com choque séptico podem produzir administração desnecessária de líquidos. Este artigo relata a justificativa, o delineamento e o plano de análise do estudo ANDROMEDA-2, que visa determinar se uma estratégia guiada por perfusão periférica, que consiste na ressuscitação guiada pelo tempo de enchimento capilar com base em fenótipos clínicos e hemodinâmicos, está associada a uma diminuição no desfecho composto de mortalidade, tempo até a interrupção ao suporte de órgãos e tempo de internação em comparação com o atendimento padrão em pacientes com choque séptico precoce (< 4 horas do diagnóstico). Metódos: O estudo ANDROMEDA-2 é um ensaio clínico randomizado controlado multinacional e multicêntrico. No grupo de intervenção, o tempo de enchimento capilar será medido a cada hora, durante 6 horas. Se estiver anormal, os pacientes serão alocados em um algoritmo, começando com a avaliação da pressão de pulso. Pacientes com pressão de pulso inferior a 40mmHg serão testados quanto à capacidade de resposta a líquidos e receberão líquidos de acordo. Em pacientes com pressão de pulso > 40mmHg, norepinefrina será titulada para manter a pressão arterial diastólica > 50mmHg. Os pacientes que não normalizarem o tempo de enchimento capilar após as etapas anteriores serão submetidos à ecocardiografia de cuidados intensivos para avaliação da disfunção cardíaca e posterior manejo. Por fim, serão realizados testes com vasopressores e inodilatadores para otimizar ainda mais a perfusão. Um tamanho de amostra de 1.500 pacientes fornecerá 88% de poder para demonstrar a superioridade da estratégia direcionada ao tempo de enchimento capilar. Conclusão: Se for demonstrado que o direcionamento ao tempo de enchimento capilar é uma estratégia melhor, os processos de atendimento na ressuscitação do choque séptico podem ser otimizados com ferramentas usadas à beira do leito.
ABSTRACT Background: Early reversion of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion is essential for survival in septic shock. However, consensus regarding the best initial resuscitation strategy is lacking given that interventions designed for the entire population with septic shock might produce unnecessary fluid administration. This article reports the rationale, study design and analysis plan of the ANDROMEDA-2 study, which aims to determine whether a peripheral perfusion-guided strategy consisting of capillary refill time-targeted resuscitation based on clinical and hemodynamic phenotypes is associated with a decrease in a composite outcome of mortality, time to organ support cessation, and hospital length of stay compared to standard care in patients with early (< 4 hours of diagnosis) septic shock. Methods: The ANDROMEDA-2 study is a multicenter, multinational randomized controlled trial. In the intervention group, capillary refill time will be measured hourly for 6 hours. If abnormal, patients will enter an algorithm starting with pulse pressure assessment. Patients with pulse pressure less than 40mmHg will be tested for fluid responsiveness and receive fluids accordingly. In patients with pulse pressure > 40mmHg, norepinephrine will be titrated to maintain diastolic arterial pressure > 50mmHg. Patients who fail to normalize capillary refill time after the previous steps will be subjected to critical care echocardiography for cardiac dysfunction evaluation and subsequent management. Finally, vasopressor and inodilator tests will be performed to further optimize perfusion. A sample size of 1,500 patients will provide 88% power to demonstrate superiority of the capillary refill time-targeted strategy. Conclusions: If hemodynamic phenotype-based, capillary refill time-targeted resuscitation demonstrates to be a superior strategy, care processes in septic shock resuscitation can be optimized with bedside tools.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the correlation between capillary filling time (CRT) and lactate clearance rate in patients with septic shock, so as to provide reference for the clinical application of CRT in patients with septic shock.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 70 patients with septic shock. CRT, mean arterial pressure (map) and sequential organ failure (SOFA) score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Scoring System (APACHE Ⅱ) score, mechanical ventilation and lactate clearance rate were collected at 3 sites (forehead, knee and nail bed) respectively at 2 time points after admission and 6 hours after admission. The correlation between CRT changes and lactate clearance rate was compared.Results:When lactate clearance rate of more than 10% in 6 hours, the Pearson coefficients of the three sites were 0.823 for nail bed ( P<0.05), 0.232 for forehead and 0.254 for knee ( P>0.05). When lactate clearance rate of less than 10% in 6 hours, the Pearson coefficients of the three sites were 0.299 for nail bed, 0.247 for forehead and 0.254 for knee ( P>0.05). Conclusion:When lactate clearance rate of more than 10% in 6 hours, there is a good correlation between the CRT of nail bed and the lactate clearance rate of patients. The CRT of nail bed can be a practical tool for clinical evaluation of microcirculation.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Educational programs in pediatric life support endorse a capillary refill time > 2 s as an indicator of shock. In the emergency room, a barrier to the implementation of an early goal directed therapy, aiming at central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) ≥ 70% is the insertion of central venous catheter (CVC). Objective: To establish the predictive value of capillary refill time > 2 s to detect ScvO2 < 70% in children admitted to Intensive Care Units. Patients and Method: Prospective study. We included 48 children admitted in the first 24 hours in ICU with superior vena cava CVC. Simultaneously, we measured ScvO2 and capillary refill time in the heel of upper extremity or toe. Results: There were 75 paired measurements ScvO2 (75,9 ± 8,4%) and capillary refill capillary (1,9 ± 1,0 s). We found an inverse correlation between capillary refill time and ScvO2 (r - 0,58 ). The ROC curve analysis revealed an excellent ability for the capillary fill time > 2 s to predict ScvO2 < 70% (AUC 0,94) (95% CI 0,87-0,98). Conclusions: A prolonged capillary refill time > 2 s, is a predictor of ScvO2 < 70% in children admitted to ICU, which supports the current recommendations. This finding may be relevant in emergency units where the use of CVC is limited and ScvO2 is not available.
Introducción: Programas educativos de reanimación pediátrica establecen que un tiempo de llene capilar > 2 s es un indicador de shock. En unidades de emergencia, una barrera para la implementación de una reanimación precoz guiada por metas, teniendo como objetivo una saturación venosa central de oxígeno (ScvO2) ≥ 70%, es la inserción de un catéter venoso central (CVC). Objetivo: Determinar el valor predictivo de un tiempo de llene capilar > 2 s en la detección de ScvO2 < 70% en niños ingresados a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. Pacientes y Método: Estudio prospectivo. Se incluyeron 48 niños ingresados en las primeras 24 h en UCI con CVC en la vena cava superior. De manera simultánea se determinaron ScvO2 y tiempo de llene capilar en talón o dedo de extremidad superior. Resultados: Se obtuvieron 75 mediciones pareadas de ScvO2 (75,9 ± 8,4%) y llene capilar (1,9 ± 1,0 s), observándose una correlación inversa entre llene capilar y ScvO2 (r = -0,58). El análisis de la curva ROC reveló una excelente capacidad del tiempo de llene capilar > 2 s para predecir una ScvO2 < 70% (AUC = 0,94, IC 95% = 0,87-0,98). Conclusiones: La prolongación del tiempo de llene capilar > 2 s es predictor de ScvO2 < 70% en niños críticamente enfermos. Este hallazgo apoya las recomendaciones actuales y podría ser relevante en unidades de emergencia donde el uso de CVC es limitado y la ScvO2 no está disponible.

Aunque los principios básicos para el diagnóstico y los pilares terapéuticos del niño con shock séptico se mantienen en el tiempo, es innegable que en las últimas décadas se han incorporado nuevos y trascendentes conceptos, siendo importante que el médico tratante en el Servicio de Urgencia tenga conocimiento a cabalidad de ellos. En la segunda parte de esta actualización se discuten las similitudes y diferencias entre la población infantil y adulta, la utilidad de las metas de reanimación metabólicas, como también el enfoque terapéutico inicial en el paciente séptico. Los conceptos más importantes revisados se refieren a las diferencias entre el niño y adulto con shock séptico, especialmente en la fisiopatología, clínica y tratamiento. Se recalca la importancia de expansión de la volemia y el uso de drogas vasoactivas si no hay respuesta a fluidos de reanimación. El manejo terapéutico debe estar orientado a la búsqueda de la normalización de metas macrohemodinámicas y de perfusión sistémica. Se deben evitar los errores más frecuentes de observar en el tratamiento inicial del paciente séptico. Esta entidad presenta una elevada incidencia y mortalidad, por lo cual el manejo precoz y agresivo es de máxima importancia en pediatría.
Although the basic concepts of diagnosis and therapy of the child with septic shock have remained similar over time, it is undeniable that in recent decades, new and important concepts have been added, and any treating physician either at the Emergency Department or Intensive Care Unit should be fully aware of them. This second part discusses the similarities and differences between pediatric and adult populations, the utility of metabolic resuscitation goals, as well as the initial therapeutic approach in septic patients. The most important concepts of this work make reference to the differences between children and adults with septic shock, specifically regarding to pathophysiology, clinical presentation and treatment. Volume expansion and vasoactive drugs are crucial if there is no response to fluid resuscitation. The therapeutic management should focus on finding the normalization of macrohemodynamic and systemic perfusion targets. Common observation mistakes in the initial treatment of septic patients should be avoided. This condition has a high incidence and mortality rate; therefore an early and aggressive treatment is essential.
