- NEGATIVE FLUID BALANCE IN SEPSIS: WHEN AND HOW?(2017) BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; TANIGUCHI, Leandro UtinoFluid resuscitation plays a fundamental role in the treatment of septic shock. Administration of inappropriately large quantities of fluid may lead to volume overload, which is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in critical illness. In the early treatment of sepsis, timely fluid challenges should be given to optimize organ perfusion, but continuous positive fluid balance is discouraged. In fact, achievement of a negative fluid balance during treatment of sepsis is associated with better outcomes. This review will discuss the relationship between fluid overload and unfavorable outcomes in sepsis, and how fluid overload can be prevented and managed.
- Association between piperacillin/tazobactam use and acute kidney injury in critically ill patients: a retrospective multicentre cohort study(2024) TOMAZINI, Bruno Martins; BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; ZAMPIERI, Fernando Godinho; CAVALCANTI, Alexandre BiasiBackground: Piperacillin/tazobactam is one of the most common antibiotics prescribed in the ICU and the combination of piperacillin/tazobactam with vancomycin has been associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients. However, data on the risk of AKI with piperacillin/tazobactam, despite vancomycin co-exposure, are lacking. Objectives: To investigate the association of piperacillin/tazobactam with AKI and renal replacement therapy (RRT) among adult ICU patients. Methods: We analysed data from patients included in two open access databases (MIMIC-IV and eICU). Critically ill patients who received piperacillin/tazobactam or cefepime (a cephalosporin with similar broad-spectrum activity to piperacillin/tazobactam) during their first ICU stay were eligible for the study. Marginal structural Cox models, accounting for time-fixed covariates and time-dependent covariates were performed. The primary outcomes were AKI and need of RRT. Results: A total of 20 107 patients were included, with 11 213 in the piperacillin/tazobactam group and 8894 in the cefepime group. Exposure to piperacillin/tazobactam was associated with AKI (HR 1.77; 95% CI 1.51-2.07; P < 0.001) and with need of RRT (HR 1.31; 95% CI 1.08-1.57; P = 0.005). Tests for interaction were not statistically significant for occurrence of AKI and RRT in the subgroup of patients exposed to vancomycin or not (P = 0.26 and P = 0.6, respectively). Conclusions: In critically ill patients, exposure to piperacillin/tazobactam was associated with increased risk of AKI and with increased risk of RRT, regardless of combination therapy with vancomycin.
- 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.
- 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- Perception of usefulness of laboratory tests ordering by internal medicine residents in ambulatory setting: A single-center prospective cohort study(2021) DOI, Dimitria; VALE, Romulo Ribeiro do; MONTEIRO, Jean Michell Correia; PLENS, Glauco Cabral Marinho; FERREIRA JUNIOR, Mario; FONSECA, Luiz Augusto Marcondes; PERAZZIO, Sandro Felix; BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; LICHTENSTEIN, Arnaldo; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; SUMITA, Nairo Massakazu; CORA, Aline Pivetta; EISENCRAFT, Adriana Pasmanik; DUARTE, Alberto Jose da SilvaThe demand for high value health care uncovered a steady trend in laboratory tests ordering and inappropriate testing practices. Residents' training in laboratory ordering practice provides an opportunity for quality improvement. We collected information on demographics, the main reason for the appointment, preexisting medical conditions and presence of co-morbidities from first-visit patients to the internal medicine outpatient service of our university general hospital. We also collected information on all laboratory tests ordered by the attending medical residents. At a follow-up visit, we recorded residents' subjective perception on the usefulness of each ordered laboratory test for the purposes of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment or screening. We observed that 17.3% of all ordered tests had no perceived utility by the attending resident. Tests were usually ordered to exclude differential diagnoses (26.7%) and to help prognosis estimation (19.1%). Age and co-morbidity influenced the chosen category to legitimate usefulness of tests ordering. This study suggests that clinical objectives (diagnosis, prognosis, treatment or prevention) as well as personalization to age and previous health conditions should be considered before test ordering to allow a more appropriate laboratory tests ordering, but further studies are necessary to examine this framework beyond this medical training scenario.
- 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.
- Bloqueio neuromuscular e manuseio das vias aéreas na intubação endotraqueal em unidades de terapia intensiva brasileiras: um levantamento nacional(2020) MENDES, Pedro Vitale; BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; LACERDA, Fabio Holanda; RAMOS, João Gabriel Rosa; TANIGUCHI, Leandro UtinoAbstract Objective: To describe the use of neuromuscular blockade as well as other practices among Brazilian physicians in adult intensive care units. Methods: An online national survey was designed and administered to Brazilian intensivists. Questions were selected using the Delphi method and assessed physicians’ demographic data, intensive care unit characteristics, practices regarding airway management, use of neuromuscular blockade and sedation during endotracheal intubation in the intensive care unit. As a secondary outcome, we applied a multivariate analysis to evaluate factors associated with the use of neuromuscular blockade. Results: Five hundred sixty-five intensivists from all Brazilian regions responded to the questionnaire. The majority of respondents were male (65%), with a mean age of 38 ( 8.4 years, and 58.5% had a board certification in critical care. Only 40.7% of the intensivists reported the use of neuromuscular blockade during all or in more than 75% of endotracheal intubations. In the multivariate analysis, the number of intubations performed monthly and physician specialization in anesthesiology were directly associated with frequent use of neuromuscular blockade. Etomidate and ketamine were more commonly used in the clinical situation of hypotension and shock, while propofol and midazolam were more commonly prescribed in the situation of clinical stability. Conclusion: The reported use of neuromuscular blockade was low among intensivists, and sedative drugs were chosen in accordance with patient hemodynamic stability. These results may help the design of future studies regarding airway management in Brazil.
