Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Private hospital(s). Main funding source(s): Sanatorium Mitre Introduction invasive hemodynamic monitoring with Swan-Ganz catheter (SGC) has been the gold standard to determine the cardiac index. However, in many centres is not always available, and the Fick method is also validated for that purpose, but without the same accuracy. There are other used laboratory parameters; nonetheless there is lack of evidence about its association with the cardiac index. We aim to describe the association between these parameters and the patient"s hemodynamic condition.  Objectives to assess the association between hemodynamic parameters obtained by SGC and data obtained with a jugular central venous catheter, in critically ill cardiac patients hospitalised in the Intensive Care Unit.  Methods prospective, double-blind, observational study, conducted from September 2019 to November 2020. A total of 45 patients with SGC were enrolled. We measured cardiac output and cardiac index (by thermodilution method and Fick estimated method), other hemodynamic parameters, lactic acid, central venous oxygen saturation (CVO2) and venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (VACO2). The variables were analysed with t-test, Wilcoxon and chi2, as appropriate. Statistical significance was assumed when p was less than .05. Results we analysed 45 patients (mean age 58 years; 87% men; 23% postoperative cardiac surgery subjects; mean ejection fraction 30%). We registered a 6% in-hospital mortality and the mean in-hospital stay was 19 days (IQR 25-75: 8-25). We observed a significative correlation between impaired cardiac index (≤2.2 L/min/m2) obtained by SGC and Fick method (r 0.43; p= .0041). Elevated lactic acid and reduced CVO2 were not well correlated with impaired cardiac index (r 0.51, CI 95%: 0.32-0.71; r 0.30, CI 95%: 0.13-0.48; respectively). Among patients with impaired cardiac index, all of them had a VACO2 over 7 mmHg. The c-statistic to predict impaired cardiac index using VACO2 over 7 mmHg was 0.66 (CI 95%: 0.48-0.84), correlation not observed for the CVO2 values. Elevated lactic acid (≤1.9 mmol/L) was only associated with noradrenaline infusion over 0.7 g/kg/min (c-statistic 0.55; p= .0002). Conclusions when invasive hemodynamic monitoring with SGC is not available, the VACO2 value over 7 mmHg (obtained with a central venous catheter) appeared to be a better predictor of impaired cardiac index than the determination of CVO2. The Fick method was an acceptable replacement of the invasive monitoring. Also, noradrenaline infusion over 0.7 g/kg/min, but not cardiac index or other laboratory parameters, showed a better correlation with elevated lactic acid.

Abstract Background and objectives: AN69 and Oxiris are filters used in continuous renal replacement therapy. In this study, we aimed to research the effects of these filters on blood cell counts, blood biochemistry, inflammation indicators, clinical status and mortality of patients diagnosed with septic shock-related acute kidney injury. Method: Between March 2019 and October 2019, 42 adult patients (Group 1: Oxiris (n = 21) or Group 2: AN69 (n=21)) with septic shock-related acute kidney injury and received continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) in the intensive care unit were included in the study and their results were prospectively observed and compared. The data at the begining of CVVHDF (pre-CVVHDF) and 24 hours after the onset of CVVHDF (post-CVVHDF) were recorded.Results: In the comparison of the pre- and post-CVVHDF values in Group 1, there was a statistically significant decrease detected in the procalcitonin (p = 0.04) and noradrenaline infusion rate (p = 0.02) levels. In terms of the other data there was no statistically significant difference between pre- and post-CVVHDF values in Group 1. In the comparison of the pre- and post-CVVHDF values in Group 2, there was a statistically significant decrease detected in the urea (p = 0.04), platelet count (p = 0.02) and procalcitonin (p = 0.002) levels. There was no statistically significant difference between pre- and post-CVVHDF values in terms of the other data in Group 2. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of mortality. Conclusions: CVVHDF with Oxiris filter causes a statistically significant decrease in noradrenaline infusion rate. Therefore, we think that the use of CVVHDF with Oxiris filter applied for septic shock-related acute kidney injury will save us time and increase the improvement in the treatment.
