Successful markers of resuscitation

Successful markers of resuscitation

Physiological characteristics of Renal Circulation

  • Receives about 20% of CO, very active vasoregulation, very low oxygen consumption, but medulla very sensitive to hypoxia
  • Extremely adaptive to circulating blood volume (from 16 mL to 300 mL/hr); activation of neurohormonal system (RAAS, ADH) will decrease diuresis in response to low GFR
  • Even improvement in MAP with vasopressors may not improve renal function in setting of low blood volume

Oxygen delivery and consumption

SvO2 tells you there’s a problem with oxygenation, flow, carrying capacity, or consumption (not specific though)

 

Mixed vs central venous: not perfectly correlated, but decently so

 

If, ScVO2 is low; think CO, VO2, Hemoglobin, Oxygenation, Acidosis (Dissociation)

ETCO2 determinants: Alveolar ventilation, CO2 production, pulmonary blood flow

CO2 production:

  • Aerobic: adrenergic stimulation, fever, shivering, agitation, sepsis
  • R quotient: carbohydrate intake
  • Anaerobic: buffering of anions

 

Washout:

  • Increased minute ventilation
  • Cardiac output

 

**If CO2 production is constant, then changes in ETCO2 reflect ventilation or cardiac output

 

The relationship between changes in CO/ETCO2 are not linear at extremes of output

 

During CPR, can help monitor cardiac output/efficacy of CPR and help determine patient viability

“Humans are not yeast and rarely become anaerobic.”

 

Lactate does not cause acidosis; it consumes H+ and actually causes alkalosis

Lactate is not produced by tissue hypoxia (mountain climbers with paO2 of 24 and lactate)

Muscles create lactate to use as fuel for heart/brain during exercise (no evidence of tissue hypoxemia)

 

 

Supply dependency/critical oxygen delivery happens at CO of 1 - why do septic patients develop hyperlactemia? Hyperadrenergic: creates more pyruvate than can be processed by Krebs cycle

Thiamine is essential for processing of pyruvate

Lactate administration during stress is beneficial, and removing it may be detrimental
