Abstract
Objective
This study aims to investigate the changes in microcirculation and internal environment before sepsis in patients with infectious diseases.
Methods
In this single-center prospective observational study, all patients did not meet the diagnostic criteria of sepsis 3.0 at admission. Blood samples and sublingual microcirculation were collected at admission, 24 and 48 h after admission.
Results
A total of 101 patients completed this study. In total, 46 patients met the diagnostic criteria of sepsis 3.0 within 5 days after admission, while the remaining 55 patients did not. The platelet (PLT) was significantly lower in the sepsis patients (195.17 ± 63.89 vs. 242.02 ± 68.59, p = .01), Microvascular Flow Index (MFI) (2.45 ± 0.33 vs. 2.70 ± 0.18, p = .00) and Proportion of Perfused Vessels (PPV) (92.44 ± 4.45 vs. 95.88 ± 3.20, p = .00) were significantly lower, while Flow Heterogeneity Index (FHI) (0.32 ± 0.13 vs. 0.22 ± 0.10, p = .00) was significantly higher in the in the sepsis patients at admission. Decreased levels of MFI (p = .00, OR 0.02, 95% CI: 0.00, 0.15) and PLT (p = .00, OR 0.99, 95% CI: 0.98, 1.00) were independent risk factors for sepsis. Additionally, the 24 h PLT change rate (AUC 0.85, Cutoff −0.17, sensitivity 0.70, specificity 0.93, and Youden index 0.63) suggested a potential early warning effect for sepsis.
Conclusion
Changes in microcirculation disturbance and the internal environment occurred before sepsis. The MFI and PLT are independent risk factors for sepsis. Sublingual microcirculation and PLT deterioration can be used as early warning indicators before sepsis.
期刊介绍:
The journal features original contributions that are the result of investigations contributing significant new information relating to the vascular and lymphatic microcirculation addressed at the intact animal, organ, cellular, or molecular level. Papers describe applications of the methods of physiology, biophysics, bioengineering, genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to problems in microcirculation.
Microcirculation also publishes state-of-the-art reviews that address frontier areas or new advances in technology in the fields of microcirculatory disease and function. Specific areas of interest include: Angiogenesis, growth and remodeling; Transport and exchange of gasses and solutes; Rheology and biorheology; Endothelial cell biology and metabolism; Interactions between endothelium, smooth muscle, parenchymal cells, leukocytes and platelets; Regulation of vasomotor tone; and Microvascular structures, imaging and morphometry. Papers also describe innovations in experimental techniques and instrumentation for studying all aspects of microcirculatory structure and function.
