Effect of stress doses of hydrocortisone on S-100B vs. interleukin-8 and polymorphonuclear elastase levels in human septic shock [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Stress doses of hydrocortisone a re known to have immunomodulatory effects in patients with hyperdynamic septic shock. The prognosis correlates with the presence and severity of septic encephalopathy. However, neurological evaluation is influenced by the

Vasopressor stays vasopressor and inotrope stays inotrope! [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Care, 2008
We should like to comment on the interesting work reported by Muller and colleagues [1]. We feel that the results of their experiment were predictable and that arginine vasopressin (AVP) was not indicated in that setting. Infusing a vasoconstrictor without relevant inotropic potential in an acute low flow state with maintained or increased vascular ...

Plasma adrenomedullin is associated with short-term mortality and vasopressor requirement in patients admitted with sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Introduction: The incidence of death among patients admitted for severe sepsis or septic shock is high. Adrenomedullin (ADM) plays a central role in initiating the hyperdynamic response during the early stages of sepsis.

The hepatoadrenal syndrome: A common yet unrecognized clinical condition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Objective: Adrenal failure is common in critically ill patients, particularly those with sepsis. As liver failure and sepsis are both associated with increased circulating levels of endotoxin and proinflammatory mediators and reduced levels of apoprotein-

Vasopressors for hypotensive shock [PDF]

open access: yesCochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016
Initial goal-directed resuscitation for hypotensive shock usually includes administration of intravenous fluids, followed by initiation of vasopressors. Despite obvious immediate effects of vasopressors on haemodynamics, their effect on patient-relevant outcomes remains controversial. This review was published originally in 2004 and was updated in 2011

Circulating Biologically Active Adrenomedullin Predicts Organ Failure and Mortality in Sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Biologically active adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) is an emerging biomarker for sepsis.

Circulating adrenomedullin estimates survival and reversibility of organ failure in sepsis: the prospective observational multinational Adrenomedullin and Outcome in Sepsis and Septic Shock-1 (AdrenOSS-1) study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Adrenomedullin (ADM) regulates vascular tone and endothelial permeability during sepsis. Levels of circulating biologically active ADM (bio-ADM) show an inverse relationship with blood pressure and a direct relationship with vasopressor ...

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): Incidence, risks and survivals. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
INTRODUCTION: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is frequently observed after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) decannulation; however, these issues have not been investigated well in the past. METHODS: Retrospective chart review was

Effect of early vasopressin vs norepinephrine on kidney failure in patients with septic shock. The VANISH Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
IMPORTANCE: Norepinephrine is currently recommended as the first-line vasopressor in septic shock; however, early vasopressin use has been proposed as an alternative.
