Effect of early low-dose glucocorticoid on hemodynamics and prognosis in patients with septic shock / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of early low-glucocorticoid on hemodynamics and prognosis in the patients with septic shock.Methods Sixty patients with septic shock failing in active fluid resuscitation and vasoactive drugs in our hospital from June 2013 to August 2015 were selected and divided into the control group,early-hormone group and late-hormone group.MAP,HR,PO2/FIO2 and serum lactic acid levels were monitored in all selected patients before treatment and at 12,24,48 h after treatment.Apache Ⅱ,SOFA scores were assessed before treatment and on 1,3,7 d after treatment.The ventilation time,ICU stay time,hospital stay time and intravenous use time of vasoactive agents(VDNT) were recorded.Results The Apache Ⅱ scores and SOFA scores on 3,7 d after treatment in the early-hormone group were significantly decreased compared with the late-hormone group and control group (P＜0.05).MAP and HR at 24,48 h after treatment in the early-hormone group were significantly improved compared with the late-hormone group and control group (P＜0.05).The level of serum lactic acid at 12,24 h after treatment in the early-hormone group and late-hormone group were obviously lower than that in the control group,the levels of serum lactic acid at 12,24 h after treatment in the early-hormone group were obviously lower than those in the late-hormone group (P＜ 0.05).PO2/FIO2 at 12 h after treatment in the early-hormone group and late-hormone group were obviously better than that in the control group,and PO2/FIO2 at 12 h after treatment in the early-hormone group was obviously better than that in the late-hormone group(P＜0.05).The ventilation time,ICU stay time,hospital stay time and VDUT in the early-hormone group were significantly shortened compared with the late-hormone group and control group.The ventilation times,ICU stay time and VDUT in the latehormone group were significantly shortened compared with the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Early using low-dose glucocorticoid may restore hemodynamics more quickly,protects the organ function and improves the prognosis in the patients with septic shock.
