Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This editorial aims to highlight the evolving concept of protective hemodynamics in the management of critically ill patients. RECENT FINDINGS Recent literature underscores the limitations of rigid blood pressure targets, particularly in the context of critical care and perioperative management. High blood pressure targets, especially when coupled with high-dose vasopressors, can lead to poor outcomes. 'Protective hemodynamics' aims to maintain cardiovascular stability while reducing risks associated with interventions. SUMMARY The implications of adopting protective hemodynamics are profound for both clinical practice and research. Clinically, this approach can reduce iatrogenic harm and improve long-term outcomes for critically ill patients. For research, it opens new avenues for investigating individualized hemodynamic management strategies that prioritize overall patient stability and long-term health over rigid target attainment.

Peng H, Liang Z, Zhang S, Yang Y. Optimal target mean arterial pressure for patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Infect Dis 2024; 24:902. [PMID: 39223467 PMCID: PMC11367872 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-024-09789-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) patients often experience changes in intracranial pressure and impaired cerebral autoregulation. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) plays a crucial role in cerebral perfusion pressure, but its relationship with mortality in SAE patients remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the relationship between MAP and the risk of 28-day and in-hospital mortality in SAE patients, providing clinicians with the optimal MAP target. METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data of patients diagnosed with SAE on the first day of ICU admission from the MIMIC-IV (v2.2) database. Patients were divided into four groups based on MAP quartiles. Kruskal-Wallis H test and Chi-square test were used to compare clinical characteristics among the groups. Restricted cubic spline and segmented Cox regression models, both unadjusted and adjusted for multiple variables, were employed to elucidate the relationship between MAP and the risk of 28-day and in-hospital mortality in SAE patients and to identify the optimal MAP. Subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the stability of the results. RESULTS A total of 3,816 SAE patients were included. The Q1 group had higher rates of acute kidney injury and vasoactive drug use on the first day of ICU admission compared to other groups (P < 0.01). The Q1 and Q4 groups had longer ICU and hospital stays (P < 0.01). The 28-day and in-hospital mortality rates were highest in the Q1 group and lowest in the Q3 group. Multivariable adjustment restricted cubic spline curves indicated a nonlinear relationship between MAP and mortality risk (P for nonlinearity < 0.05). The MAP ranges associated with HRs below 1 for 28-day and in-hospital mortality were 74.6-90.2 mmHg and 74.6-89.3 mmHg, respectively.The inflection point for mortality risk, determined by the minimum hazard ratio (HR), was identified at a MAP of 81.5 mmHg. The multivariable adjusted segmented Cox regression models showed that for MAP < 81.5 mmHg, an increase in MAP was associated with a decreased risk of 28-day and in-hospital mortality (P < 0.05). In Model 4, each 5 mmHg increase in MAP was associated with a 15% decrease in 28-day mortality risk (HR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.79-0.91, p < 0.05) and a 14% decrease in in-hospital mortality risk (HR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.80-0.93, p < 0.05). However, for MAP ≥ 81.5 mmHg, there was no significant association between MAP and mortality risk (P > 0.05). Subgroup analyses based on age, congestive heart failure, use of vasoactive drugs, and acute kidney injury showed consistent results across different subgroups.Subsequent analysis of SAE patients with septic shock also showed results similar to those of the original cohort.However, for comatose SAE patients (GCS ≤ 8), there was a negative correlation between MAP and the risk of 28-day and in-hospital mortality when MAP was < 81.5 mmHg, but a positive correlation when MAP was ≥ 81.5 mmHg in adjusted models 2 and 4. CONCLUSION There is a nonlinear relationship between MAP and the risk of 28-day and in-hospital mortality in SAE patients. The optimal MAP target for SAE patients in clinical practice appears to be 81.5 mmHg.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypotension is associated with adverse outcomes in critically ill and perioperative patients. However, these assumptions are supported by observational studies. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials aims to compare the impact of lower versus higher blood pressure targets on mortality. DATA SOURCES We searched PubMed, Cochrane, and Scholar from inception to February 10, 2024. STUDY SELECTION Randomized trials comparing lower versus higher blood pressure targets in the management of critically ill and perioperative settings. DATA EXTRACTION The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at the longest follow-up available. This review was registered in the Prospective International Register of Systematic Reviews, CRD42023452928. DATA SYNTHESIS Of 2940 studies identified by the search string, 28 (12 in critically ill and 16 in perioperative settings) were included totaling 15,672 patients. Patients in the low blood pressure target group had lower mortality (23 studies included: 1019/7679 [13.3%] vs. 1103/7649 [14.4%]; relative risk 0.93; 95% CI, 0.87-0.99; p = 0.03; I2 = 0%). This corresponded to a 97.4% probability of any increase in mortality with a Bayesian approach. These findings were mainly driven by studies performed in the ICU setting and with treatment lasting more than 24 hours; however, the magnitude and direction of the results were similar in the majority of sensitivity analyses including the analysis restricted to low risk of bias studies. We also observed a lower rate of atrial fibrillation and fewer patients requiring transfusion in low-pressure target groups. No differences were found in the other secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Based on pooled randomized trial evidence, a lower compared with a higher blood pressure target results in a reduction of mortality, atrial fibrillation, and transfusion requirements. Lower blood pressure targets may be beneficial but there is ongoing uncertainty. However, the present meta-analysis does not confirm previous findings and recommendations. These results might inform future guidelines and promote the study of the concept of protective hemodynamics.

Abstract
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome that is characterized by the rapid development of organ failures predisposing these patients to a high risk of short-term early death. The main causes of organ failure in these patients are bacterial infections and systemic inflammation, both of which can be severe. For the majority of these patients, a prompt liver transplant is still the only effective course of treatment. Kidneys are one of the most frequent extrahepatic organs that are affected in patients with ACLF, since acute kidney injury (AKI) is reported in 22.8-34% of patients with ACLF. Approach and management of kidney injury could improve overall outcomes in these patients. Importantly, patients with ACLF more frequently have stage 3 AKI with a low rate of response to the current treatment modalities. The objective of the present position paper is to critically review and analyze the published data on AKI in ACLF, evolve a consensus, and provide recommendations for early diagnosis, pathophysiology, prevention, and management of AKI in patients with ACLF. In the absence of direct evidence, we propose expert opinions for guidance in managing AKI in this very challenging group of patients and focus on areas of future research. This consensus will be of major importance to all hepatologists, liver transplant surgeons, and intensivists across the globe.

[PMID: 38537129 DOI: 10.1097/hep.0000000000000858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study informs how mean arterial pressure (MAP) impacts acute kidney injury (AKI) recovery among all patients hospitalized with cirrhosis, regardless of etiology. APPROACH AND RESULTS We identified incident AKI episodes among subjects in our cohort of patients with decompensated cirrhosis. AKI was defined as a ≥50% increase in creatinine from an outpatient baseline (≥7 days prior) that required hospitalization. Linear mixed effects models were completed to determine the impact between AKI recovery, MAP, and time. To determine the impact of MAP on AKI reversal, we completed time-dependent Cox regression models with time beginning at the time of peak creatinine and ending at death, discharge, or AKI reversal, among those hospitalized with AKI and those with persistent AKI (≥48 h) We identified 702 hospitalized patients with cirrhosis with AKI. We found those with AKI reversal had, on average, higher MAP (2.1 mm Hg, p <0.05) and a greater increase in MAP over time (0.1 mm Hg per hour, p <0.001). Among all 702 hospitalized patients with AKI and adjusted for confounders, each 5 mm Hg increase in MAP was associated with 1.07× the hazard of AKI reversal ( p <0.01). Similarly, among those with persistent AKI after adjusting for confounders, each 5 mm Hg increase in MAP was associated with a 1.19× greater likelihood of AKI reversal ( p <0.001). DISCUSSION Our data demonstrate that MAP significantly increases the likelihood of AKI recovery regardless of severity or injury or AKI phenotype. We believe these data highlight the importance of MAP as a clinical tool to promote kidney function recovery among patients with cirrhosis hospitalized with AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Sepsis-3 guidelines have incorporated serum lactate levels of >2 mmol/L in septic shock definition to account for higher observed mortality. Further evidence is needed to support this threshold in cirrhosis, as well as target mean arterial pressure (MAP) during resuscitation. METHODS This observational cohort study investigated the association between initial serum lactate and resuscitation MAP levels on in-hospital mortality in patients with and without cirrhosis. Patients admitted to the intensive care unit for the treatment of septic shock between 2006 and 2021 in a quaternary academic center were included. Patients with cirrhosis documented on imaging and International Classification of Disease codes (n=595) were compared to patients without cirrhosis (n=575). The association of intensive care unit admission lactate levels and median 2-hour MAP with in-hospital mortality and the need for continuous renal replacement therapy was assessed. The association between median 24-hour MAP and in-hospital mortality was analyzed post hoc. RESULTS Within the cirrhosis group, admission lactate levels of 2-4 and >4 mmol/L were associated with increased in-hospital mortality compared to lactate <2 mmol/L [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.69, CI: 1.03-2.81, aOR: 4.02, CI: 2.53-6.52]. Median 24-hour MAP 60-65 and <60 mm Hg were also associated with increased in-hospital mortality compared with MAP >65 mm Hg (aOR: 2.84, CI: 1.64-4.92 and aOR: 7.34, CI: 3.17-18.76). In the noncirrhosis group, associations with in-hospital mortality were weaker for lactate 2-4 and >4 mmol/L (aOR: 1.32, CI: 0.77-2.27 and aOR: 2.25, CI: 1.40-3.67) and median 24-hour MAP 60-65 and <60 mm Hg (aOR: 1.70, CI: 0.65-4.14 and aOR: 4.41, CI: 0.79-29.38). CONCLUSIONS These findings support utilizing lactate >2 mmol/L in the definition of septic shock, as well as a target MAP of >65 mm Hg during resuscitation in patients with cirrhosis.

Abstract
The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the impact of a high-normal and a low-normal mean arterial pressure (MAP) target on outcomes in patients with sepsis or shock. Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, two investigators conducted a thorough literature search across online databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMBASE, spanning from inception to December 10, 2023. The assessed outcomes encompassed all-cause mortality, the need for renal replacement therapy, and the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. A total of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, involving 3507 participants with individual study participant counts ranging from 118 to 2463. The pooled analysis revealed no statistically significant difference in the risk of all-cause mortality between the two groups (Risk Ratio (RR): 0.94, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.87 to 1.01). Furthermore, there was no disparity in the rates of renal replacement therapy and the duration of ICU stay between the high-normal and low-normal MAP groups. Our findings indicate no significant distinctions in mortality, rates of renal replacement therapy, or ICU stay duration between the two groups. However, future trials with larger sample sizes are warranted to comprehensively understand the nuanced effects of different MAP settings on outcomes in patients with sepsis and shock.
