Title: | Bolus hypertonic or normal saline resuscitation in gram-negative sepsis: systemic and regional haemodynamic effects in sheep. | Austin Authors: | Wan, Li;Bellomo, Rinaldo ;May, Clive N | Affiliation: | Department of Intensive Care, Austin Health, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia, Australia | Issue Date: | 1-Dec-2011 | Publication information: | Critical Care and Resuscitation; 13(4): 262-70 | Abstract: | Fluid resuscitation with saline in severe sepsis is controversial. Hypertonic (3%) saline (HTS) may be superior to normal (0.9%) saline (NS).To compare the effects of HTS and NS on regional blood flow in sepsis.Randomised controlled crossover large animal study.University physiology laboratory.Seven merino cross ewes.We implanted chronic flow probes around aorta, mesenteric, coronary and renal arteries. Sepsis was induced by the intravenous injection of 3 × 109 colonyforming units of live Escherichia coli. We randomised animals to three groups after onset of sepsis: observation (control), NS (1000 mL over 15 minutes) and HTS (300 mL over 15 minutes).Continuously measured systemic haemodynamics, organ blood flows and markers of renal function for 210 minutes.In septic sheep, bolus resuscitation with HTS had similar systemic haemodynamic effects as NS and both increased cardiac output and mesenteric blood flow during the first hour compared with control (P < 0.05). However, this effect dissipated after 60 minutes. These effects were mirrored by effects on mesenteric and coronary blood flow. In contrast, renal blood flow was not changed by either HTS or NS. HTS transiently increased total and mesenteric oxygen delivery (P < 0.05), while NS transiently decreased total and renal oxygen delivery. Urine output and creatinine clearance decreased with sepsis and only transiently increased with NS (P < 0.05) but not HTS.In gram-negative sepsis, bolus resuscitation with HTS and NS have similar and transient systemic and regional haemodynamic effects, but no effects on renal perfusion and only short-lived effects on renal function. These findings challenge the physiological rationale for fluid bolus resuscitation in sepsis. | Gov't Doc #: | 22129288 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11384 | Journal: | Critical Care and Resuscitation | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22129288 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Animals Blood Pressure Cardiac Output.drug effects Cross-Over Studies Female Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections.therapy Heart Rate Hemodynamics.drug effects Kidney.blood supply Osmolar Concentration Regional Blood Flow Resuscitation Saline Solution, Hypertonic.administration & dosage Sepsis.therapy Sheep Sodium Chloride.administration & dosage |
