Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of critical care chest ultrasonic examination(CCUE)on different fluid management phases among septic shock infants in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods:Twenty-two infants who were hospitalized in PICU during January 2017 to December 2018 and diagnosed as septic shock were included in this study.These infants received shock and infection management as well as mechanical ventilation according to the septic shock management guidelines.CCUE was applied as needed to monitor the hemodynamic status for titrated adjustment in fluid and vasoactive drug management and its impacts were evaluated.Results:The change frequencies of treatment regimen according to CCUE evaluation were different among different phases( P<0.001). Compared with the other 3 phases, the number of adjustment made to fluid management scheme caused by CCUE during the first phase was the largest(75.0%, P<0.001), and that during the fourth phase was the smallest(2.3%, P<0.01). The frequency of change during the second phase(30.5%) and the third phase(23.5%) showed no difference( P=0.210). During the first phase, compared with the group with intravenous infusion speed<10 mL/(kg·h), the group with faster intravenous infusion speed had lower LUS score and more proportion of LVEF and RVEF above 50%( P<0.05). During the second phase and the third phase, compared with group receiving slower intravenous infusion, group with faster intravenous infusion had more LVEF>50%( P<0.05). Conclusion:Application of CCUE to monitor dynamic hemodynamic of infants with septic shock in PICU has different effects on fluid management scheme adjustment at different phase.CCUE evaluation during the early 3 phases, especially during the first phase has greater influence on fluid management strategy.Rapid infusion under CCUE monitoring is often limited by cardiac ejection fraction, LUS, and mainly LVEF, especially during the first phase.Multiple ultrasonic indicators should be combined with clinical data for full evaluation.
