ABSTRACT
SESSION TITLE: Sepsis: Beyond 30cc/kg and Antibiotics SESSION TYPE: Rapid Fire Original Inv PRESENTED ON: 10/19/2022 11:15 am - 12:15 pm PURPOSE: Cardiac function is known to be negatively impacted by sepsis. Stroke volume (SV) change in response to Passive Leg Raise (PLR) is an effective method to predict fluid responsiveness (FR) or cardiac response to preload expansion. We have previously shown that short-term sepsis resuscitation phenotypes based responses to passive leg raise (PLR) can identify discrete patient sub-groups. The goal of this study was to identify resuscitation phenotypes and explore the relationship between the cardiac physiology and patient outcome. METHODS: The Starling Registry study is an observational registry study evaluating trends in cardiac output (CO) and SV over time as related to patient outcome (NCT04648293). Patients were classified as FR if SV increased ≥ 10% when measured with non-invasive bioreactance (Starling Monitor, Baxter Healthcare). Patients were characterized Non FR if SV increased <10%. Patients were grouped into 6 different sextets based on the percentage of FR PLRs within each group. RESULTS: 222 critical care patients received hemodynamic monitoring during their ICU stay across two different hospitals. 46 % were female, and the average age was 64 years. 65% of the patients had sepsis, and 20% of patients were positive for COVID. There were an equal percentage of septic patient in whose who were not FR (68%) and patients who were 100% FR (65%, p=0.334). Patients who were not FR received significantly less resuscitation fluid (609 ml) compared to patients who were 100% FR (1094 ml, p<0.0001). Patients who were 100% FR exhibited a decreased incidence of mortality (20.2%) compared to patient with 0% incidence FR (35.5%, p= 0.028). CONCLUSIONS: Short-term sepsis resuscitation phenotypes based responses to PLR identify discrete patient sub-groups. We have previously shown patients who improve CO in response to the resuscitation exhibited improved outcome. The ability to respond to the addition of IV fluid by increasing CO and SV may improve perfusion and lead to decreased adverse events. As there were an equal number of septic patients in both groups, a 0% incidence of FR may reflect a reduced EF or cardiac dysfunction instead of peripheral leakage. The results provided by a real time dynamic assessment may predict patient outcome and demonstrate physiology based on fluid responsiveness. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Monitoring cardiac function closely is a high priority to prevent clinically relevant changes in patient outcome.
