Agreement between Capillary Refill Time measured at Finger and Earlobe sites in different positions: a pilot prospective study on healthy volunteers

Luigi La Via et al.

Summary: This study found that elevation of the forearm significantly prolongs capillary refill time (CRT), while measuring CRT at the earlobe in a supine position yields different results compared to fingertip CRT. Therefore, measuring earlobe CRT in a supine position may not be a reliable alternative to fingertip CRT.

2023 Update on Sepsis and Septic Shock in Adult Patients: Management in the Emergency Department

Matteo Guarino et al.

Summary: This review aims to update physicians on the main pillars of treatment for sepsis/septic shock, which include empirical antimicrobial treatment, fluid replacement, and the use of vasoactive agents. Other treatments such as mechanical ventilation, anticoagulation, and glycemic control are also recommended but their efficacy is debated.

Sepsis and the microcirculation: the impact on outcomes

Vishal Yajnik et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the advances in the treatment of septic shock, particularly in the monitoring of the microcirculation. Traditional hemodynamic monitoring systems are insufficient in evaluating the microcirculation and its response to treatment. Visual assessments and biomarkers have shown some predictive value, but further research is needed to validate the usefulness of microcirculatory bedside tools in guiding resuscitative efforts.

A 2-year retrospective analysis of the prognostic value of MqSOFA compared to lactate, NEWS and qSOFA in patients with sepsis

Matteo Guarino et al.

Summary: This study compared different scoring tools in predicting in-hospital mortality for sepsis patients. The results showed that modified quick SOFA score (MqSOFA), NEWS, and lactate assay had better predictive ability compared to quick SOFA score (qSOFA). Age was also identified as an independent factor for negative outcomes.

Current practice and evolving concepts in septic shock resuscitation

Jan Bakker et al.

Summary: Clinical and pathophysiological understanding of septic shock has advanced significantly in recent decades, leading to a gradual reduction in morbidity and mortality. While large randomized controlled trials have addressed key aspects of septic shock resuscitation, there are still many unanswered questions. This review focuses on current standards of septic shock resuscitation and evolving concepts, providing insights into potential research opportunities.

Capillary refill time for the management of acute circulatory failure: a survey among pediatric and adult intensivists

Matthias Jacquet-Lagreze et al.

Summary: This study examined the modalities of capillary refill time (CRT) use among French adult and pediatric intensivists. The survey showed that CRT measurement is widely used in patients with acute circulatory failure, but mostly in a non-standardized way, leading to potential misunderstanding of its reliability and clinical usefulness.

The Glycocalyx Shedding Influences Hemodynamic and Metabolic Response to Fluid Load in Septic Shock

Yana Ilyina et al.

Summary: This study assessed the relationship between shedding of endothelial glycocalyx and hemodynamic and metabolic responses in patients with septic shock after fluid load test. The results showed that glycocalyx shedding was associated with the severity of pulmonary edema.

Epidemiology of sepsis and septic shock

Catherine Chiu et al.

Summary: The epidemiology of sepsis and septic shock is challenging to study due to changing diagnostic definitions and a focus on high-income countries in research. Since 1991, the incidence of sepsis has continued to increase globally, with the latest definitions providing better mortality risk assessment. However, there are concerns that the true global burden of sepsis, including in low-income countries, may be underestimated.

Macrocirculatory and Microcirculatory Endpoints in Sepsis Resuscitation

Garrick Mok et al.

Summary: Sepsis is a common disease that can lead to septic shock with high mortality rates. While traditional markers like MAP and lactate are recommended in resuscitation, assessing microcirculation in addition to macrocirculatory parameters may lead to better outcomes for patients with sepsis.

Septic shock: a microcirculation disease

Daniel De Backer et al.

Summary: Microvascular dysfunction in septic shock plays a crucial role in organ dysfunction and unfavorable outcomes, with alterations in microcirculation having profound implications and response to therapy being highly variable and unpredictable by traditional hemodynamic assessment tools. Understanding the processes involved in microvascular dysfunction is important for improving tissue perfusion beyond systemic hemodynamic variables.

Predicting in-hospital mortality for sepsis: a comparison between qSOFA and modified qSOFA in a 2-year single-centre retrospective analysis

Matteo Guarino et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new tool, modified qSOFA, for early prognostic assessment of septic patients. Analysis of 1137 cases showed that MqSOFA had a better predictive ability for in-hospital mortality compared to qSOFA. By adding SpO2/FiO2 ratio to qSOFA, MqSOFA demonstrated improved sensitivity in detecting patient outcomes.
