Abstract

Introduction: Endothelial dysfunction plays a major role in the pathophysiology of septic shock and organ dysfunction, and has been suggested to be a predictor of mortality in sepsis. Ultrasound measurement of brachial artery reactivity indices in response to transient ischemia provides indirect estimates of endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to assess whether brachial artery reactivity indices could be used for prognostic assessment of patients with sepsis or not. Methods: Fifty patients with diagnosis of sepsis were subjected to flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of brachial artery within 24 hours from ICU admission. Measurements were compared in sepsis survivors versus nonsurvivors and correlated with clinical severity scoring systems (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II and sequential organ failure assessment scores). Another 30 volunteers without acute illness were taken as a control group to determine a normal reference range for FMD. Results: Hyperemic velocity was significantly lower in sepsis group versus control group (71.77±18.67 versus 81.64±9.84, P= .003). FMDwas significantly lower in sepsis group compared to control group (3.72±2.22 versus 5.29±1.74, P= .001). Change in velocity was significantly lower in sepsis group compared to control group (19.53±10.80 versus 31.25±6.72, P< .001). Twenty percent of enrolled patients died within 28 days of hospital admission. Change in velocity was significantly lower in nonsurvivors versus survivors (7.82±2.26 versus 22.45±10.08, P= .001). Change of velocity of 12 cm/cardiac cycle was the cut point in predicting mortality in sepsis with sensitivity of 89.7% and specificity of 100% with a total accuracy of 92% and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.936 (CI 0.866–1.0). Discussion: Brachial artery hyperemic change in blood velocity was a noninvasive indicator of microvascular function that independently predicted mortality in sepsis. In contrast, brachial artery FMD was not associated with mortality in our sepsis cohort.
肱动脉反应性对脓毒症的预测价值
内皮功能障碍在脓毒症休克和器官功能障碍的病理生理中起着重要作用,并被认为是脓毒症死亡率的预测因子。超声测量臂动脉反应性指数对短暂性缺血的反应提供了内皮功能障碍的间接估计。本研究的目的是评估臂动脉反应性指标是否可以用于脓毒症患者的预后评估。方法:对50例确诊为脓毒症的患者在入院后24小时内行肱动脉血流介导扩张术(FMD)。比较脓毒症幸存者和非幸存者的测量结果,并与临床严重程度评分系统(急性生理和慢性健康评估II和序贯器官衰竭评估评分)相关。另外30名无急性疾病的志愿者作为对照组,以确定口蹄疫的正常参考范围。结果:脓毒症组血充血速度明显低于对照组(71.77±18.67 vs 81.64±9.84,P= 0.003)。脓毒症组fmdp(3.72±2.22)明显低于对照组(5.29±1.74,P= .001)。脓毒症组的流速变化明显低于对照组(19.53±10.80 vs 31.25±6.72,P< 0.001)。20%的患者在入院后28天内死亡。非幸存者的速度变化明显低于幸存者(7.82±2.26比22.45±10.08,P= .001)。12 cm/心动周期速度变化是预测脓毒症死亡率的切入点,敏感性为89.7%,特异性为100%,总准确率为92%,曲线下面积(AUC)为0.936 (CI 0.866-1.0)。讨论:肱动脉充血速度变化是微血管功能的无创指标,可独立预测败血症的死亡率。相反,在我们的败血症队列中,肱动脉FMD与死亡率无关。

期刊介绍: The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine is the official Journal of the Egyptian College of Critical Care Physicians, the most authoritative organization of Egyptian physicians involved in the multi-professional field of critical care medicine. The journal is intended to provide a peer-reviewed source for multidisciplinary coverage of general acute and intensive care medicine and its various subcategories including cardiac, pulmonary, neuro, renal as well as post-operative care. The journal is proud to have an international multi-professional editorial board in the broad field of critical care that will assist in publishing promising research and breakthrough reports that lead to better patients care in life threatening conditions, and bring the reader a quick access to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in monitoring and management of critically ill patients.
