Evaluation of left ventricular systolic function revisited in septic shock
The meta-analysis of Huang and coworkers failed to find any evidence for a protective effect of a decreased left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). These results have to be interpreted with caution since in most studies included in the meta-analysis patients with LV systolic dysfunction received inotropic drugs. We have some arguments suggesting that such a treatment may improve macrocirc...
متن کاملLiver function in septic shock.
Serum liver function tests were estimated in 57 patients admitted to an Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) with a diagnosis of septic shock. Following an initial biochemical disturbance, persisting hyperbilirubinaemia was associated with a poor prognosis. Post-mortem liver histology in 22 patients showed varying degrees of non-specific reactive change, venous congestion, ischaemic necrosis, fatty cha...
متن کاملRight ventricular performance in septic shock: a combined radionuclide and hemodynamic study.
Twenty-five patients with septic shock underwent simultaneous radionuclide ventriculography and right heart catheterization to clarify the role of the right ventricle in this syndrome. A depressed right ventricular ejection fraction (less than 38%) was present in 13 patients and was found in patients with elevated cardiac output (4 of 6 patients) and with normal or low cardiac output (9 of 19 p...
