PICU Admission Lactate and Central Venous Oxymetry Study

Shock

Observational multicentre cohort study. Children admitted to a Dutch PICU are studied for lactate levels and ScvO2. Children instrumented with arterial and central venous catheters are included within the first 12 hours after admittance.

The Effect of Erythropietin on Microcircualtory Alteration in Intensive Care Unit Patients With...

SepsisShock

The objective of this study is to determine if observations the investigators made in an animal model of sepsis can be translated to clinical practice. Specifically, the investigators will use the noninvasive Orthogonal Polarization Spectral (OPS) microscope and venous oxygen saturation to test the hypothesis that recombinant human erythropoietin(rHuEPO) will acutely improve the microcircualtion in septic patients in the ICU.

Esmolol Effects on Heart and Inflammation in Septic Shock

Septic Shock

Beta adrenergic system, over-activated in septic shock patients, is a key modulator of the inflammatory response. Experimental works demonstrated that Esmolol, an highly selective beta-1 blocker, reduces heart rate and regulates the inflammatory response. A recent mono centric, double blind, randomized clinical work in septic shock patients has shown that Esmolol administration is safe and reduces effectively heart rate. However there are only sparse data on 1) regional and micro-circulation, 2) inflammation modulation in human resuscitated septic shock patients treated by esmolol.

COrporeal Compression at the ONset of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock

Severe Sepsis or Septic ShockFluid Resuscitation

Early and adequate fluid resuscitation (< 6 hours) in patients with circulatory failure is essential but may exacerbate oedema, which may itself: 1) aggravate pulmonary lesions and prolong mechanical ventilation, 2) aggravate organ failure and 3) increase mortality notably in patients with acute renal failure. Improving fluid balance is considered crucial in the management of patients in septic shock, but the efficacy of the measures currently proposed (diuretics associated or not with albumin and/or dialysis) is controversial. The investigators hypothesize that a whole-body compression using a body bandage could reduce capillary leakage and thus lead to faster restoration of a normal transmural pressure gradient in postcapillary venules and improve venous return. This is the first study to evaluate mechanical compression using a body bandage to reduce oedema in septic shock. To do this, a whole-body compression will be set up within the 12 hours following admission. Water balance will be monitored daily throughout the duration of the compression and vital status of patients will be search at 7 days, 28 days and 90 days.

Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation for Pain Relief During Extracorporeal Shock-wave Lithotripsy...

Pain

This study evaluates pain relief during extracorporeal shock-wave Lithotripsy by using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and comparing it with fentanyl which is a narcotic analgesic. Half of the participants will receive a primary fentanyl dose together with TENS application, another half will receive a primary fentanyl dose. All patients will receive fentanyl increments if they still complained of pain.

Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Perfusion Index and Microcirculation in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock...

Septic Shock

Septic shock is one of the major causes of death worldwide with in-hospital mortality rates varying between (11.9% to 47.2 %). Alterations in microcirculatory blood flow were associated with high risk of organ dysfunction and death. Experimental studies on septic rats revealed that dexmedetomidine treatment can effectively reduce the generation of inflammatory mediators and yields beneficial effects on endotoxemic animals' microcirculation.

A Study of LJPC-501 in Paediatric Patients With Hypotension Associated With Distributive or Vasodilatory...

Catecholamine-resistant Hypotension (CRH)Distributive Shock2 more

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of LJPC-501 infusion on mean arterial pressure (MAP) as assessed by standard of care vasopressor dose reduction in pediatric patients with catecholamine-resistant hypotension (CRH). In addition, this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of LJPC-501 in pediatric patients, evaluate changes in catecholamine and other vasopressor doses over time, evaluate the change in MAP over time, and the change in Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) scores.

Norepinephrine vs Norepinephrine and Dobutamine in Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic shock is a frequent cause of admission and death in the intensive care unit. Mortality is about 50%. Once the etiologic treatment has been done, for instance coronary revascularization, management of the shock state is the cornerstone of the treatment. Norepinephrine is the first-line vasopressor therapy because of its minor effect on heart rhythm. Morever norepinephrine is a inotrope. In a previous study, we demonstrated that increasing the norepinephrine dose increases cardiac index, cardiac power index, SVO2 and tissue perfusion without acceleration of heart rate. Nevertheless, dobutamine remains the first-line inotropic treatment. Dobutamine has a positive chronotropic effect that might cause higher myocardial oxygen consumption. As a result, combination of vasopressor / inotrope is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare hemodynamics and metabolics effects of 2 treatments strategies (norepinephrine dose increasing or addition of dobutamine) in patients with cardiogenic shock and optimised blood pressure level (MAP≥65 mmHg) under norepinephrine treatment. The secondary objectives were : To evaluate the efficacy of the treatments on micro- and macrocirculation parameters To evaluate the tolerance of the treatments To evaluate the dose and the admistration's kinetics of the treatments

TRANSfusion in Patients With Onco-hematological Malignancies ResusciTated From Septic Shock

Septic ShockAnemia1 more

Septic shock is a frequent complication associated with high mortality in patients with malignancies. The best transfusion strategy (restrictive or liberal) for the resuscitation of septic shock remains a controversial issue, in relation with potentially discrepant goals of tissue oxygenation and transfusion sparing. In this study, the investigators propose to address the efficacy of two RBC transfusion strategies (liberal or restrictive) in restoring appropriate tissue oxygenation as well as their tolerance. The investigators designed a prospective randomized multicenter trial aimed at comparing liberal and restrictive RBC transfusion strategies applied during the first 48 hours of resuscitation in cancer patients with septic shock and anemia.
