Forget physiology: cautious fluids save lives
Kathryn Maitland
Conflict of interest?
Not the only ‘sceptic’
Where is the physiological data?
Fluid resuscitation guidelines
Most animal modes: low cardiac output low perfusion – atypical
Paediatric Recommendations: Dellinger 2012
‘…… blood pressure alone is not a reliable endpoint for assessing the adequacy of resuscitation. However, once hypotension occurs, cardiovascular collapse may soon follow. Thus, fluid resuscitation is recommended for both normotensive and hypotensive children in hypovolemic shock [542–554]’’.4 dengue paper, 1 malaria systematic review; implementation (before after study designs) one small RCT (India)

‘Terminal Clinical Event’: Cumulative incidence of mortality for bolus & control arms
Slam dunk?
Forget physiology: cautious fluids save lives
Nick PigottAn Intensivist…
(not)
It’s about understanding physiology
The (African) elephant in the room…
An inconvenient truth….
FEAST• Why did they die?• What excuses have we made?• Do any of them hold up?
• Are our patients different enough to permit us to ignore this?
• Deaths were not from fluid overload
• Regardless of the type of ‘terminal clinical event’, there was a significant difference between those who had boluses and those who did not
The golden hour…• When I was a trainee…
APLS – The seriously ill child…
Clinical Excellence Commission (CEC) of NSW – ‘Between the Flags’
CEC sepsis pathways
Basically…• Fill them up until they sound wet!• Then add inotrope
Physiology• How do we measure clinical response to acute
treatment?
Signs of response to therapy…• CR• Improving perfusion• Falling pulse rate• Urine production• Falling lactate (?!)• Improving conscious level
Physiology• How do we measure fluid responsiveness?
Fluid responsiveness• General signs
+• SVC filling• ?Passive Leg Raise• Hepatic pressure(ie preload responsiveness)
Physiology• What happens to that fluid?
Physiology• It leaks straight out and doesn’t want to come
back• It destroys the glycocalyx
`
• Prospectively looked at 200 children accepted for admission to 17 PICUs with sepsis or suspected sepsis
• 34 deaths (17%)• Children defined as shocked received more fluid• OR for death in shocked patients was 3.8 (p=0.008)• 2002 ACCM-PALS guideline was not followed in 62%
On FEAST…
In closing…• I have seen hundreds of children recover from shock
apparently as a result of aggressive management strategies including lots of fluid
• I believe the results of the FEAST study are very relevant to ‘our’ patients – I just don’t know how…
Summary• We need to UNDERSTAND the physiology of shock
• We should not change our practice without understanding what we are actually doing
• We should be wary of undermining years of work towards consistent, timely practice without more complete data
Kath is wrong!
Thank you!
Rino• In ICU, no one dies without walking through
the forest of oedema
NSW fluid composition guidelines
• We should not change our practice in shock without understanding what we are actually doing
