Peripheral tissue hypoperfusion is a strong predictor of poor outcomes in patients suffering from severe conditions, such as sepsis, cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock. The evaluation of peripheral tissue perfusion is very important in identifying shock patients. This can be done at the bedside with either semi-quantitative tools such as the mottling...Read more

Optimal-approach-to-fluid-resuscitation-for-patients-in-shock

2020 03 Feb

Initial fluid resuscitation practices for patients with haemodynamic shock remain controversial. There is significant variability in these practices, and the impact of this is still poorly understood. Overall, non-patient-centred resuscitation practices, conflicting treatments, variability, and failure to meet targets for initial resuscitation are...Read more

Sepsis remains the most common cause of vasodilatory shock worldwide. The mainstay of haemodynamic treatment of septic shock is fluid resuscitation followed by vasopressors where fluids alone are insufficient to achieve target blood pressure.  This article, published in the journal Critical Care, proposes the concept of “broad spectrum vasopressors”...Read more

Fluid-resuscitation-in-icu-crystalloids-inferior-to-colloids

2018 18 Dec

Researchers performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate data from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of crystalloids and colloids for fluid resuscitation in critically ill adults. They found that crystalloids were less effective than colloids at stabilising haemodynamic resuscitation endpoints such as adequate central venous pressure...Read more
