Coagulation abnormalities are universal in patients with septic shock and likely play a key role in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Early diagnosis and management of sepsis-induced coagulopathy can influence the outcome. Thromboelastography (TEG) can effectively distinguish hypercoagulability and hypocoagulability in patients with septic shock. TEG may be a useful tool to objectively evaluate the degree and risk of sepsis.
A total of 76 adult patients with septic shock were enrolled and divided into four groups: patients with hypotension requiring vasopressor and serum lactate level >2 mmol/L (group A), patients with hypotension requiring vasopressor and serum lactate level ≤2 mmol/L (group B), patients with mean arterial pressure ≥65 mmHg and serum lactate level >2 mmol/L (group C), and patients with mean arterial pressure ≥65 mmHg and serum lactate level ≤2 mmol/L (group D) after adequate fluid resuscitation. TEG values were obtained at the emergency room and after 6 hours of adequate fluid resuscitation. Data on fibrinogen (FIB) levels, international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), blood gas, platelet count, and D-dimers were also collected.
The length of stay in the intensive care unit was 9.11 ± 5.36 days. Mortality rate was 6.58%. The values of reaction time, kinetics time, maximum amplitude, alpha angle, aPTT, INR, serum creatinine, FIB, and sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score showed a significant differences. The results of the routine coagulation tests, blood gas volume, platelet count, procalcitonin level, D-dimer level, white blood cell count, creatinine level, disseminated intravascular coagulation score, SOFA score, and TEG values after adequate fluid resuscitation were significantly different between groups A and B, groups A and C, groups A and D, groups B and D, and groups C and D.
TEG is helpful in predicting the severity of sepsis and outcome of patients.
凝血异常在感染性休克患者中普遍存在,可能在多器官功能障碍综合征中发挥关键作用。早期诊断和治疗脓毒症诱导的凝血功能障碍可以影响预后。血栓弹力图(TEG)可有效区分感染性休克患者的高凝状态和低凝状态。TEG 可能是客观评估脓毒症严重程度和风险的有用工具。
共纳入 76 例感染性休克成年患者,分为四组:需要升压药治疗且血清乳酸水平>2mmol/L 的低血压患者(A 组)、需要升压药治疗且血清乳酸水平≤2mmol/L 的低血压患者(B 组)、平均动脉压(MAP)≥65mmHg 且血清乳酸水平>2mmol/L 的患者(C 组)和 MAP≥65mmHg 且血清乳酸水平≤2mmol/L 的患者(D 组),在充分液体复苏后获得急诊和 6 小时 TEG 值。还收集纤维蛋白原(FIB)水平、国际标准化比值(INR)、活化部分凝血活酶时间(aPTT)、血气、血小板计数和 D-二聚体的数据。
重症监护病房(ICU)住院时间为 9.11±5.36 天,死亡率为 6.58%。反应时间、动力学时间、最大振幅、α 角、aPTT、INR、血清肌酐、FIB 和脓毒症相关器官衰竭评估(SOFA)评分值均有显著差异。充分液体复苏后常规凝血试验、血气量、血小板计数、降钙素原水平、D-二聚体水平、白细胞计数、肌酐水平、弥散性血管内凝血评分、SOFA 评分和 TEG 值在 A、B 组,A、C 组,A、D 组,B、D 组和 C、D 组之间有显著差异。
TEG 有助于预测脓毒症的严重程度和患者的预后。
