2 Even non sustained (<60min) hypotension is associated with a poor outcome and should not be neglected Marchick et al ICM 35:1261; pts with sepsis at ED OR 2.7 ( )

3 Time spent with hypotension is associated with a poor outcome Dunser M et al ICM 35:1225; pts with sepsis in ICU

4 High doses of vasopressors used to reach a given pressure levels are deleterious Dunser et al Crit Care 13:R181;2009 MAP quartiles: I II III IV pts with septic shock VP for MAP>70 mmhg

5 Both severity and duration of hypotension are associated with poor outcome. It sounds thus reasonable to try to correct hypotension without delay. Which blood pressure target? Which agent should be used?

6 Does correction of hypotension with vasopressors affect tissue perfusion? DDB USI

7 Correction of hypotension improves urine output and renal function in septic patients Albanese et al Chest 126:534;2004 MAP 50 => 78 mmhg Patients with septic shock (n=14) DDB USI

8 MAP 54 => 77 mmhg Correction of hypotension improves microvascular reactivity (NIRS) Georger et al ICM 36:1882;2010

9 Which blood pressure target? DDB USI

10 PRESSURE GOAL? LeDoux et al CCM 28:2729;2000

11 High vs Low MAP? VS mmhg Asfar P et al NEJM 2014 But lower incidence of AKI with high MAP in previously hypertensive patients Higher rate of arrhythmias and AMI in high MAP 798 pts septic shock

12 High vs Low MAP? VS mmhg Asfar P et al NEJM 2014 Target pts septic shock

13 High variablity in response to increase in MAP Renal Doppler Deruddre et al ICM 33:1557; pts septic shock

14 Impact of MAP/NE on microvascular perfusion Dubin et al Crit Care 2009

15 VASOPRESSOR SUPPORT Adrenergic agents: Dopamine Norepinephrine Epinephrine Phenylephrine

16 ADRENERGIC AGENTS ALPHA BETA DOPA DOPAMINE ++ +(+) + NOREPINPHRINE EPINEPHRINE PHENYLEPHRINE

17 ADRENERGIC AGENTS Alpha + vasopressor effect - increase in afterload, decrease in regional blood flows Beta + inotropic effect, increase in regional blood flows - arrhythmias, immunodepression, metabolic effects Dopa + increase in renal and splanchnic blood flow (?) - alteration hypothalamo-pituitary axis

61 VASOPRESSOR SUPPORT IN SHOCK Correction of hypotension (MAP ~65 mmhg) MAP higher than mmhg do not seem to further improve tissue perfusion Adrenergic agents as first line agent, with norepinephrine as the 1st choice agent Vasopressin appears to be promising in septic shock DDB USI
