- Prevalence of Ventilatory Conditions for Dynamic Fluid Responsiveness Prediction in 2 Tertiary Intensive Care Units(2016) MENDES, Pedro V.; RODRIGUES, Bruno N.; MIRANDA, Leandro C.; ZAMPIERI, Fernando G.; QUEIROZ, Eduardo L.; SCHETTINO, Guilherme; AZEVEDO, Luciano C.; PARK, Marcelo; TANIGUCHI, Leandro U.Background: Dynamic parameters for fluid responsiveness obtained from heart-lung interaction during invasive mechanical ventilation require specific conditions not always present in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of these conditions in critically ill patients. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in 2 medical-surgical ICUs. We evaluated whether it would be possible to measure dynamic indices of fluid responsiveness when fluid expansion was administered. We recorded whether the patients were in controlled invasive mechanical ventilation with tidal volume >8 mL/kg and without arrhythmias. The proportion of patients who fulfilled these conditions was recorded. A post hoc subgroup analyses by terciles of Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS3) were performed. Results: A total of 826 fluid challenges were undertaken in 424 patients during the study. The use of controlled mechanical ventilation with tidal volume > 8 mL/kg and without arrhythmias occurred in only 2.9% of the patients at the time of fluid challenge episodes. There was an increase in the prevalence of these conditions as the severity of the patients also increased: lower tercile of SAPS3 (0%), intermediate tercile (2%), and higher tercile (6.9%; P < .01 Pearson chi-square test). Conclusions: Respiratory-dependent dynamic parameters for predicting fluid responsiveness in ICU may have restricted applicability in daily practice, even in more severe patients, due to low prevalence of required conditions.
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe respiratory failure in adult patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of current evidence(2013) ZAMPIERI, Fernando Godinho; MENDES, Pedro Vitale; RANZANI, Otavio T.; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; AZEVEDO, Luciano Cesar Pontes; COSTA, Eduardo Leite Vieira; PARK, MarceloBackground: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute respiratory failure is still a matter of debate. Methods: We performed a structured search on Pubmed, EMBASE, Lilacs, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials and observational case-control studies with severity-paired patients, evaluating the use of ECMO on severe acute respiratory failure in adult patients. A random-effect model using DerSimonian and Laird method for variance estimator was performed to evaluate the effect of ECMO use on hospital mortality. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed with Cochran's Q statistic and Higgin's I-2. Results: Three studies were included on the metanalysis, comprising 353 patients in the main analysis, in which 179 patients were ECMO supported. One study was a randomized controlled trial and two were observational studies with a propensity score matching. The most common reason for acute respiratory failure was influenza H1N1 pneumonia (45%) and pneumonia (33%). ECMO was not associated with a reduction in hospital mortality (OR = 0.71; CI 95% = 0.34-1.47; P = 0.358). If alternative severity-pairing method presented by the two observational studies was included, a total of 478 cases were included, in which 228 received ECMO support. In the former analysis, ECMO had a benefit on hospital mortality (OR = 0.52; CI 95% = 0.35-0.76; P < 0.001). Conclusion: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation benefit on hospital mortality is unclear. Results were sensitive to statistical analysis, and no definitive conclusion can be drawn from the available data. More studies are needed before the widespread use of ECMO can be recommended.
- Adverse events leading to intensive care unit admission in a low-and-middle-income-country: A prospective cohort study and a systematic review(2024) PEDRO, Rodolpho Augusto de Moura; BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; MENDES, Pedro Vitale; GOMES, Augusto Cezar Marins; CARVALHO, Marcelo Ticianelli de; MALBOUISSON, Luiz Marcelo Sa; PARK, Marcelo; TANIGUCHI, Leandro UtinoIntroduction: Adverse events (AE) are frequent in critical care and could be even more prevalent in LMIC due to a shortage of ICU beds and Human resources. There is limited data on how relevant AE are among the reasons for ICU admission, being all of which published by High-Income-Countries services. Our main goal is to describe the rate of adverse events-related ICU admissions and their preventability in a LMIC scenario, comparing our results with previous data.Methods: This was a prospective cohort study, during a one-year period, in two general ICUs from a tertiary public academic hospital. Our exposure of interest was ICU admission related to an AE in adult patients, we further characterized their preventability and clinical outcomes. We also performed a systematic review to identify and compare previous published data on ICU admissions due to AE.Results: Among all ICU admissions, 12.1% were related to an AE (9.8% caused by an AE, 2.3% related but not directly caused by an AE). These ICU admissions were not associated with a higher risk of death, but most of them were potentially preventable (70.9% of preventability rate, representing 8.6% of all ICU admissions). The meta-analysis resulted in a proportion of ICU admissions due to AE of 11% (95% CI 6%-16%), with a pre-ventability rate of 54% (95% CI 42%-66%).Conclusions: In this prospective cohort, adverse events were a relevant reason for ICU admission. This result is consistent with data retrieved from non-LMIC as shown in our meta-analysis. The high preventability rate described reinforces that quality and safety programs could work as a tool to optimize scarce resources.
- Factors associated with renal Doppler resistive index in critically ill patients: a prospective cohort study(2019) OLIVEIRA, Raphael A. G.; MENDES, Pedro V.; PARK, Marcelo; TANIGUCHI, Leandro U.BackgroundThe renal Doppler resistive index (renal RI) is a noninvasive tool that has been used to assess renal perfusion in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. However, many parameters have been described as influential on the values of renal RI. Therefore, we proposed this study to evaluate the variables that could impact renal RI in critically ill patients.MethodsA prospective observational study was performed in a 14-bed medical-surgical adult ICU. All consecutive patients admitted to the ICU during the study period were evaluated for eligibility. Renal RI was performed daily until the third day after ICU admission, death, or renal replacement therapy (RRT) requirement. Clinical and blood test data were collected throughout this period. Acute kidney injury (AKI) reversibility was categorized as transient (normalization of renal function within 3days of AKI onset) or persistent (non-resolution of AKI within 3days of onset or need for RRT). A linear mixed model was applied to evaluate the factors that could influence renal RI.ResultsEighty-three consecutive patients were included. Of these, 65% were male and 50.6% were medical admissions. Mean SAPS 3 was 4716. Renal RI was significantly different between no-AKI (0.64 +/- 0.06), transient AKI (0.64 +/- 0.07), and persistent AKI groups (0.70 +/- 0.08, p<0.01). Variables associated with renal RI variations were mean arterial pressure, lactate, age, and persistent AKI (p<0.05). No association between serum chloride and renal RI was observed p=0.868).Conclusions Mean arterial pressure, lactate, age, and type of AKI might influence renal RI in critically ill patients.
- Sepsis-3 definitions predict ICU mortality in a low-middle-income country(2016) BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; ROMANO, Thiago Gomes; NASSAR JR., Antonio Paulo; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; AZEVEDO, Luciano Cesar Pontes; MENDES, Pedro Vitale; ZAMPIERI, Fernando Godinho; PARK, MarceloBackground: Sepsis-3 definitions were published recently and validated only in high-income countries. The aim of this study was to assess the new criteria's accuracy in stratifying mortality as compared to its predecessor (Sepsis-2) in a Brazilian public intensive care unit (ICU) and to investigate whether the addition of lactate values would improve stratification. Methods: Retrospective cohort study conducted between 2010 and 2015 in a public university's 19-bed ICU. Data from patients admitted to the ICU with sepsis were retrieved from a prospectively collected database. ICU mortality was compared across categories of both Sepsis-2 definitions (sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock) and Sepsis-3 definitions (infection, sepsis and septic shock). Area under the receiving operator characteristic curves were constructed, and the net reclassification index and integrated discrimination index for the addition of lactate as a categorical variable to each stratum of definition were evaluated. Results: The medical records of 957 patients were retrieved from a prospectively collected database. Mean age was 52 +/- 19 years, median SAPS 3 was 65 [50,79], respiratory tract infection was the most common cause (42%, 402 patients), and 311 (32%) patients died in ICU. The ICU mortality rate was progressively higher across categories of sepsis as defined by the Sepsis-3 consensus: infection with no organ dysfunction-7 /103 (7%); sepsis-106/419 (25%); and septic shock-198/435 (46%) (P < 0.001). For Sepsis-2 definitions, ICU mortality was different only across the categories of severe sepsis [43/252-(17%)] and septic shock [250/572-(44%)] (P < 0.001); sepsis had a mortality of 18/135(13%) (P = 0.430 vs. severe sepsis). When combined with lactate, the definitions' accuracy in stratifying ICU mortality only improved with lactate levels above 4 mmol/L. This improvement occurred in the severe sepsis and septic shock groups (Sepsis-2) and the no-dysfunction and septic shock groups (Sepsis-3). Multivariate analysis demonstrated similar findings. Conclusions: In a Brazilian ICU, the new Sepsis-3 definitions were accurate in stratifying mortality and were superior to the previous definitions. We also observed that the new definitions' accuracy improved progressively with severity. Serum lactate improved accuracy for values higher than 4 mmol/L in the no-dysfunction and septic shock groups.
- Adesão a um protocolo de profilaxia de úlcera de estresse em pacientes críticos: estudo de coorte prospectiva(2020) SANTOS, Yuri de Albuquerque Pessoa dos; YOUNES-IBRAHIM, Mauricio Staib; CROZATTI, Lucas Lonardoni; RAGLIONE, Dante; CARDOZO JUNIOR, Luis Carlos Maia; BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; PARK, Marcelo; MENDES, Pedro VitaleABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate adherence to the stress ulcer prophylaxis protocol in critically ill patients at a tertiary university hospital. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we included all adult patients admitted to the medical and surgical intensive care units of an academic tertiary hospital. Our sole exclusion criterion was upper gastrointestinal bleeding at intensive care unit admission. We collected baseline variables and stress ulcer prophylaxis indications according to the institutional protocol and use of prophylaxis. Our primary outcome was adherence to the stress ulcer prophylaxis protocol. Secondary outcomes were appropriate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis, upper gastrointestinal bleeding incidence and factors associated with appropriate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis. Results: Two hundred thirty-four patients were enrolled from July 2nd through July 31st, 2018. Patients were 52 ± 20 years old, 125 (53%) were surgical patients, and the mean SAPS 3 was 52 ± 20. In the longitudinal follow-up, 1499 patient-days were studied; 1069 patient-days had stress ulcer prophylaxis indications, and 777 patient-days contained prophylaxis use (73% stress ulcer prophylaxis protocol adherence). Of the 430 patient-days without stress ulcer prophylaxis indications, 242 involved prophylaxis (56% inappropriate stress ulcer prophylaxis use). The overall appropriate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis was 64%. Factors associated with proper stress ulcer prophylaxis prescription were mechanical ventilation OR 2.13 (95%CI 1.64 - 2.75) and coagulopathy OR 2.77 (95%CI 1.66 - 4.60). The upper gastrointestinal bleeding incidence was 12.8%. Conclusion: Adherence to the stress ulcer prophylaxis protocol was low and inappropriate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis was frequent in this cohort of critically ill patients.
bookPart Manejo da COVID-19 na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva(2022) BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; MENDES, Pedro Vitale; NASSAR JUNIOR, Antonio Paulo; PARK, Marcelo; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino- The effects of discharge to an intermediate care unit after a critical illness: A 5-year cohort study(2014) RANZANI, Otavio T.; ZAMPIERI, Fernando Godinho; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; FORTE, Daniel Neves; AZEVEDO, Luciano Cesar Pontes; PARK, MarceloPurpose: The impact of the intermediate care unit (IMCU) on post-intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes is controversial. Materials and Methods: We analyzed admissions from January 2003 to December 2008 from a mixed ICU in a teaching hospital in Brazil with a high patient-to-nurse ratio (3.5:1 on the ICU, 11:1 on the IMCU, 20-25:1 on the ward). A retrospective propensity-matched analysis was performed with data from 690 patients who were discharged after at least 3 days of ICU stay. Results: Of the 690 patients, 160 (23%) were discharged to the IMCU. A total of 399 propensity-matched patients were compared: 298 were discharged to the ward and 101 were discharged to the IMCU. Ninety-day mortality rate was similar between the IMCU and ward patients (22% vs 18%, respectively, P =. 37), as was the unplanned ICU readmission rate (P =. 63). In a multivariate logistic regression, discharge to the IMCU had no effect on the 90-day mortality rate (P = .27). Conclusions: In a resource-limited setting with a high patient-to-nurse ratio, discharge to IMCU had no impact on 90-day mortality rate and on unplanned readmission rate. The impact of discharge to the IMCU on the outcome for critically ill patients should be evaluated in further studies.
- Protective ventilation and outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19: a cohort study(2021) FERREIRA, Juliana C.; HO, Yeh-Li; BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; MALBOUISSON, Luiz Marcelo Sa; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; MENDES, Pedro Vitale; COSTA, Eduardo Leite Vieira; PARK, Marcelo; DALTRO-OLIVEIRA, Renato; ROEPKE, Roberta M. L.; SILVA-JR, Joao M.; CARMONA, Maria Jose Carvalho; CARVALHO, Carlos R. R.Background Approximately 5% of COVID-19 patients develop respiratory failure and need ventilatory support, yet little is known about the impact of mechanical ventilation strategy in COVID-19. Our objective was to describe baseline characteristics, ventilatory parameters, and outcomes of critically ill patients in the largest referral center for COVID-19 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, during the first surge of the pandemic. Methods This cohort included COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) of an academic hospital with 94 ICU beds, a number expanded to 300 during the pandemic as part of a state preparedness plan. Data included demographics, advanced life support therapies, and ventilator parameters. The main outcome was 28-day survival. We used a multivariate Cox model to test the association between protective ventilation and survival, adjusting for PF ratio, pH, compliance, and PEEP. Results We included 1503 patients from March 30 to June 30, 2020. The mean age was 60 +/- 15 years, and 59% were male. During 28-day follow-up, 1180 (79%) patients needed invasive ventilation and 666 (44%) died. For the 984 patients who were receiving mechanical ventilation in the first 24 h of ICU stay, mean tidal volume was 6.5 +/- 1.3 mL/kg of ideal body weight, plateau pressure was 24 +/- 5 cmH(2)O, respiratory system compliance was 31.9 (24.4-40.9) mL/cmH(2)O, and 82% of patients were ventilated with protective ventilation. Noninvasive ventilation was used in 21% of patients, and prone, in 36%. Compliance was associated with survival and did not show a bimodal pattern that would support the presence of two phenotypes. In the multivariable model, protective ventilation (aHR 0.73 [95%CI 0.57-0.94]), adjusted for PF ratio, compliance, PEEP, and arterial pH, was independently associated with survival. Conclusions During the peak of the epidemic in Sao Paulo, critically ill patients with COVID-19 often required mechanical ventilation and mortality was high. Our findings revealed an association between mechanical ventilation strategy and mortality, highlighting the importance of protective ventilation for patients with COVID-19.
- Characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU in a university hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil - study protocol(2020) FERREIRA, Juliana C.; HO, Yeh-Li; BESEN, Bruno A. M. P.; MALBUISSON, Luiz M. S.; TANIGUCHI, Leandro U.; V, Pedro Mendes; V, Eduardo L. Costa; PARK, Marcelo; DALTRO-OLIVEIRA, Renato; ROEPKE, Roberta M. L.; JR, Joao M. Silva; CARMONA, Maria Jose C.; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto RibeiroOBJECTIVES: We designed a cohort study to describe characteristics and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the largest public hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as Latin America becomes the epicenter of the pandemic. METHODS: This is the protocol for a study being conducted at an academic hospital in Brazil with 300 adult ICU beds dedicated to COVID-19 patients. We will include adult patients admitted to the ICU with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 during the study period. The main outcome is ICU survival at 28 days. Data will be collected prospectively and retrospectively by trained investigators from the hospital's electronic medical records, using an electronic data capture tool. We will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, severity of disease, and laboratorial test results at admission. Information on the need for advanced life support and ventilator parameters will be collected during ICU stay. Patients will be followed up for 28 days in the ICU and 60 days in the hospital. We will plot Kaplan-Meier curves to estimate ICU and hospital survival and perform survival analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model to identify the main risk factors for mortality. ClinicalTrials. gov: NCT04378582. RESULTS: We expect to include a large sample of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU and to be able to provide data on admission characteristics, use of advanced life support, ICU survival at 28 days, and hospital survival at 60 days. CONCLUSIONS: This study will provide epidemiological data about critically ill patients with COVID-19 in Brazil, which could inform health policy and resource allocation in low- and middle-income countries.
