The effect of continuous intravenous norepinephrine infusion on systemic hemodynamics in a telemetrically-monitored mouse model of sepsis.

ABSTRACT: Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction, results from dysregulated host responses to infection and still has a high incidence and mortality. Although administration of vasopressors to treat septic shock is standard of care, the benefits are not well established. We evaluated the effect of continuous intravenous norepinephrine infusion in a septic cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model, evaluating systemic hemodynamics and body temperature post-hoc. CLP surgery significantly decreased mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate, and body temperature within six hours. Continuous norepinephrine infusion (NE+, n = 12) started at the time of CLP surgery significantly increased MAP at 24 and 30 hours and heart rate at 6, 18, 24, and 30 hours after CLP vs CLP alone (NE-, n = 12). However, addition of norepinephrine did not improve survival rate (NE+ n = 34, NE- n = 31). Early (6 hours or earlier, when the animal became visibly sick) MAP did not predict 7-day mortality. However, heart rates at 3 and at 6 hours after CLP/norepinephrine (NE+) were highly predictive of mortality, as also been found in one clinical study. We conclude that limited hemodynamic support can be provided in a mouse sepsis model. We propose that heart rate can be used to stratify severity of illness in rodent preclinical studies of sepsis therapeutics.

Project description:PurposeIt is essential to understand the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of preeclampsia cerebral complications. This study aimed to compare the cerebral hemodynamic effects of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and labetalol in pre-eclampsia patients with severe features.MethodsSingleton pregnant women who suffered from late onset preeclampsia with severe features were enrolled and subjected to baseline Transcranial doppler (TCD) evaluation and then randomly assigned to either the magnesium sulfate group or labetalol group. TCD to measure middle cerebral artery (MCA) blood flow indices including mean flow velocity (cm/s), mean end-diastolic velocity (DIAS), and pulsatility index (PI) and to estimate CPP and MCA velocity were performed as basal measurements before study drug administration and at post-treatment one and six hours after administration. The occurrence of seizures and any adverse effects were recorded for each group.ResultsSixty preeclampsia patients with severe features were included and randomly allocated into two equal groups. In group M the PI was 0.77 ± 0.04 at baseline versus 0.66 ± 0.05 at 1hour and 0.66 ± 0.05 at 6 hours after MgSO4 administration (p value < 0.001) also the calculated CPP was significantly decreased from 103.3 ± 12.7mmHg to 87.8 ± 10.6mmHg and 89.8 ± 10.9mmHg (p value < 0.001) at 1 and 6 hours respectively. Similarly, in group L the PI was significantly decreased from 0.77 ± 0.05 at baseline to 0.67 ± 0.05 and 0.67 ± 0.06 at 1 and 6 hours (p value < 0.001) after labetalol administration. Moreover, the calculated CPP was significantly decreased from 103.6 ± 12.6 mmHg to 86.2 ± 13.02mmHg at 1 hour and to 83.7 ± 14.6mmHg at 6 hours (p value < 0.001). In terms of changes in blood pressure and the heart rate, they were significantly lower in the labetalol group.ConclusionBoth magnesium sulfate and labetalol reduce CPP while maintaining cerebral blood flow (CBF) in preeclampsia patients with severe features.Trial registrationThe institutional review board of the Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University approved this study with the reference number (ZU-IRB#: 6353-23-3-2020) and it was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04539379).

Project description:BackgroundNorepinephrine (NE) is a α1-adrenergic mediated vasopressor and a key player in the treatment of perioperative hypotension. Apart from modulating systemic hemodynamics, NE may also affect regional blood flow, such as the hepatic circulation, which contains a wide variety of adrenergic receptors. It may alter regional vascular tonus and hepatic blood flow (HBF) by reducing portal vein flow (PVF) or hepatic arterial flow (HAF). The aim of this study was to assess the effects of NE on HBF.MethodsPatients scheduled for pancreaticoduodenectomy were included. All patients received standardized anesthetic care using propofol and remifentanil and were hemodynamically stabilized using a goal-directed hemodynamic strategy guided by Pulsioflex™. On surgical indication, somatostatin (SOMATO) was given to reduce pancreatic secretion. HBF measurements were performed using transit-time ultrasound (Medistim™). Baseline hemodynamic and HBF measurements were made after pancreatectomy, at T1. Afterwards, NE infusion was initiated to increase mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 10 - 20% of baseline MAP (T2) and by 20 - 30% of baseline MAP (T3). HBF and hemodynamic measurements were performed simultaneously at these three time-points.ResultsA total of 28 patients were analyzed. Administration of NE significantly increased MAP but had no effect on cardiac index. NE infusion reduced total HBF in all patients (p < 0.01) by a reduction HAF (p < 0.01), while the effect on PVF remained unclear. Post-hoc analysis showed that SOMATO-treated patients had a significant lower PVF at baseline (p < 0.05), which did not change during NE infusion. In these patients, reduction of total HBF was primarily related to a reduction of HAF (p < 0.01). In untreated patients, NE infusion reduced total HBF both by a reduction HAF (p < 0.01) and PVF (p < 0.05).ConclusionAdministration of NE reduced total HBF, by decreasing HAF, while the effect on PVF remained unclear. SOMATO-treated patients had a lower PVF at baseline, which remained unaffected during NE infusion. In these patients the decrease in total HBF with NE was entirely related to the decrease in HAF. In SOMATO-untreated patients PVF also significantly decreased with NE.Trial registrationStudy protocol EC: 2019/0395. EudraCT n°: 2018-004,139-66 (25 - 03 - 2019).

Project description:BackgroundMagnesium sulfate is the preferred pharmacological intervention for the prevention and treatment of eclamptic seizures in pregnancy. Pain associated with intramuscular injections and the need for an electronic infusion pump for use intravenously represent significant barriers to broader utilization. We hypothesize that an alternative regimen based on serial intravenous (IV) boluses can produce serum concentrations comparable to those produced by a continuous infusion.MethodsAn open-label randomized trial was performed at two hospitals in Egypt. Women with severe preeclampsia were eligible and enrolled between January 2015 and February 2016. Two hundred subjects were randomized by random numbers generated centrally in distinct blocks and stratified by study site. They were assigned to a continuous infusion arm, (4 g loading dose with 1 g/hr. continuous infusion) or a serial IV bolus arm, (6 g loading dose with 2 g bolus every 2 h using a Springfusor® pump). Sparsely sampled magnesium serum concentrations were collected, nonlinear mixed effect modeling was conducted and Monte Carlo simulations were used to generate 200 simulated subjects in each treatment arm. The simulated populations were used to determine area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) as a measure of total drug exposure and compared.ResultsSimulated area under the magnesium serum concentration-time curve was significantly higher in the serial IV bolus arm than in the continuous infusion arm (1107 ± 461 mmol•min /L vs. 1010 ± 398 mmol•min /L, (P = 0.02)). Four percent of women in the serial bolus arm considered the treatment unacceptable or very unacceptable compared to 2% in the continuous infusion arm, (P = 0.68).ConclusionsSerial IV boluses achieve serum magnesium concentrations statistically significantly higher but clinically comparable to those achieved with a continuous infusion and offer a third option for the administration of MgSO4 to women with preeclampsia that may reduce barriers to utilization.Trial registrationTrial no.

Project description:BackgroundHypotension following spinal anesthesia (SA) during cesarean delivery (CD) occurs commonly and is related with maternal and fetal complications. Norepinephrine infusion is increasingly used for prevention of post-SA hypotension; however, its effects as compared to the traditional phenylephrine infusion remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the effects of phenylephrine and norepinephrine administered as continuous infusion during elective CD on maternal hemodynamic parameters and maternal and fetal outcomes.MethodsThis prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled study included 238 consecutive term parturients who underwent CD from February 2019 to October 2019. They were randomized to receive continuous infusion of 0.25 μg/kg/min phenylephrine, 0.05 μg/kg/min norepinephrine, or placebo. Hemodynamic monitoring was performed at 10 time points using LiDCOrapid. We analyzed umbilical vein (UV), umbilical artery (UA), and peripheral vein (PV) blood gas indexes and recorded intraoperative complications.ResultsIn phenylephrine group, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) remain during the whole operation. Compared to the control group, phenylephrine, but not norepinephrine, significantly increased the systemic vascular resistance (SVR) to counteract the SA-induced vasodilatation, 3 min following norepinephrine/phenylephrine/LR administration (T4): 957.4 ± 590.3 vs 590.1 ± 273.7 (P < 0.000001); 5 min following norepinephrine/phenylephrine/LR administration (T5): 1104 ± 468.0 vs 789.4 ± 376.2 (P = 0.000002). at the time of incision (T6): 1084 ± 524.8 vs 825.2 ± 428.6 (P = 0.000188). Parturients in the phenylephrine group had significantly lower UV (1.91 ± 0.43) (P = 0.0003) and UA (2.05 ± 0.61) (P = 0.0038) lactate level compared to controls. Moreover, the UV pH value was higher in the phenylephrine than in the control group7.37 ± 0.03(P = 0.0013). Parturients had lower incidence of nausea, tachycardia, hypotension in phenylephrine group.ConclusionsIn this dataset, continuous phenylephrine infusion reduced the incidence of SA-induced hypotension, ameliorated SVR, while decreasing overall maternal complications. Phenylephrine infusions are considered the better choice during CD because of the significant benefit to the fetus.Trial registrationClinicaltrial.gov Registry, NCT03833895 , Registered on 1 February 2019.
