A study on the efficacy of early individualized liquid resuscitation strategy based on P(cv-a)CO2 and lactate clearance rate in patients with septic shock
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of individualized liquid resuscitation strategy based on central venous-arterial carbon dioxide difference(P[cv-a]CO2)and lactate clearance rate in patients with septic shock.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 83 patients with septic shock admitted to our ICU for treatment from July 2021 to June 2023.Pstients were divided into individualized liquid resuscitation group and conventional treatment group according to different liquid resuscitation treatment plans after 3 hours of initial liquid resuscita-tion.The differences in parameters such as heart rate,mean arterial pressure,lactate,P(cv-a)CO2,SOFA score,APACHE Ⅱ score,norepinephrine dosage,ICU stay,and hospital stay were compared between two groups were compared.Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to describe the 28-day survival rate of the two groups of patients,and the log-rank tests were used to compare the differences in survival rates between groups.Results:There was no statistical differences in heart rate,mean arterial pressure,and initial lactate levels between the two groups of patients upon admission.The individualized fluid resuscitation group had slightly lower 24-hour infusion volume than the conventional treatment group.The reduction in APACHE Ⅱ score in the individualized fluid resuscitation group was higher than that in the conventional treatment group,and there was no significant statistical difference in the 28-day survival rate of the two groups.Conclusion:Early use of individualized fluid re-suscitation strategies based on P(cv-a)CO2 and lactate clearance rate in septic shock patients can lead to less fluid and lower incidence of organ dysfunction.Monitoring both in the early stages of resuscitation can be used to guide the treatment of septic shock.
