Early Hepatic Dysfunction in a Large Animal Model of Nonhypotensive Sepsis by Stephen Sullivan, Michael Troster, Adam Linton

“…These data revealed that marked elevations in AST were associated with a higher central venous pressure and worse renal impairment, but there was no relationship with any other hemodynamic parameter, PO2, pH or serum lactate. Histologically these biochemical alterations were associated with extensive microvesicular fatty change at 24 h and centrilobular necrosis at 48 h. …”

Augmenting Function for Infarction from Infection: Impella 2.5 for Ischemic Cardiogenic Shock Complicating Sepsis by Praveen George, Mukta C. Srivastava, Jonathan Ludmir, Robert M. Reed, Semhar Z. Tewelde, Anuj Gupta, Michael T. McCurdy

“…The Impella is one of several novel mechanical support systems that can effectively augment cardiac output while reducing myocardial demand and serve as a bridge to recovery from severe hemodynamic compromise. This case report describes the successful utilization of the Impella 2.5 in a patient with baseline profound anemia and coronary artery disease (CAD) presenting in combined distributive and cardiogenic shock associated with a type 2 myocardial infarction complicating sepsis.…”

Clinical Interaction between Brain and Kidney in Small Vessel Disease by Masaki Mogi, Masatsugu Horiuchi

“…This cerebrorenal connection is considered to involve small vessel disease in both the kidney and brain, based on their hemodynamic similarities. Clinical studies suggest that markers for CKD such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), proteinuria, and albuminuria may be helpful to predict brain small vessel disease, white matter lesions (WMLs), silent brain ischemia (SBI), and microhemorrhages. …”

Sedoanalgesia Strategies and their Potential Benefits in the Intensive Care Unit: Narrative Review of the Literature by Arango-Martínez, Alejandro, Penagos-Sanchez, Sebastian, Restrepo-Arismendy, Simón, Arias-Correa, Ruber Hernando

“…Results: Lower rates of delirium and ICU stay were found for dexmedetomidine, while for midazolam and propofol a possible anti-inflammatory effect was found, and for ketamine a potential benefit in the hemodynamic profile was suggested. Conclusions: Multiple beneficial effects of these drugs have been proposed, however, the evidence is scarce and studies with a better methodological design are needed to reach valid conclusions.…”
