We suggest using an individualized approach in the optimization phase (very low certainty of evidence). No recommendation could be made for or against restrictive or liberal fluid strategies in the optimization phase (moderate certainty of no effect). For hemorrhagic shock, a restrictive fluid strategy is suggested after blunt trauma (moderate certainty) and penetrating trauma (low certainty), with fluid administration for non-traumatic hemorrhagic shock guided by hemodynamic and biochemical parameters (ungraded best practice). For circulatory failure due to left-sided cardiogenic shock, fluid resuscitation as the primary treatment is not recommended. Fluids should be administered cautiously for cardiac tamponade until definitive treatment and guided by surrogate markers of right heart congestion in acute pulmonary embolism (ungraded best practice). No recommendation could be made for circulatory failure associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Conclusions</h3><p>The panel made four conditional recommendations and four ungraded best practice statements.

This approach has rarely been deployed in metabolomic datasets. Metabolomic data are of interest as they capture effects from the genome, proteome, and environmental. We aimed to discover metabolic sub-phenotypes of septic shock, examine their temporal stability and association with clinical outcome.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Methods</h3><p>Analysis was performed in two double-blind randomized trials in septic shock (LeoPARDS (1402 samples from 470 patients) and VANISH (493 samples from 173 patients)). Patients were included soon after the onset of shock and had serum collected at up to four time points. Metabolic clusters were identified from 474 metabolites using k-means clustering in LeoPARDS and predicted in VANISH with an elastic net classifier.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>Three sub-phenotypes were found. The main determinants of cluster membership were lipid species, especially lysophospholipids. Low lysophospholipid sub-phenotypes were associated with higher circulating cytokine levels. Persistence of low lysophospholipid sub-phenotypes was associated with higher mortality compared to the high lysophospholipid sub-phenotype (LeoPARDS: cluster 2 odds ratio 3.66 (95% CI 1.88–7.20), <i>p</i> = 0.0001, cluster 3 2.49 (1.29–4.81), <i>p</i> = 0.006; VANISH: cluster 2 4.13 (1.17–15.61), <i>p</i> = 0.03), cluster 3 3.22 (1.09–9.92), <i>p</i> = 0.04, vs cluster 1). We found no heterogeneity of treatment effect for any of the trial interventions by baseline metabolic sub-phenotype.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Conclusion</h3><p>Three metabolic subgroups exist in septic shock which evolve over time. Persistence of low lysophospholipid sub-phenotypes is associated with mortality. Monitoring these subgroups could help identify patients at risk of poor outcome and direct novel therapies such as lysophospholipid supplementation.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Registration</h3><p>Clinicaltirals.gov Identifiers, VANISH: ISRCTN 20769191, LeoPARDS: ISRCTN12776039.</p>","PeriodicalId":13665,"journal":{"name":"Intensive Care Medicine","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":38.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143737146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
