Objective To evaluate the predictive value of percutaneous oxygen load test for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with septic shock during fluid resuscitation.Methods From January 2014 to January 2016, 40 adult patients diagnosed as septic shock and admitted to the ICU of Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were selected. Percutaneous oxygen partial pressure monitoring was performed at the 0th and 6th hours of fluid resuscitation among them, and 10 min oxygen load test was performed 6 h after liquid resuscitation and oxygen load value (OCT) was calculated. The 10 min OCT ≥ 66 mmHg was treated as group A, and the 20 patients with 10 min OCT<66 mmHg as group B. Average arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), arterial blood lactate (Lac), septic shock-related ARDS (ARDS) incidence, grade, ratio of invasive mechanical ventilation, ICU mortality and mortality on day 28 were compared between the two groups. Results MAP, CVP, ScvO2, Lac, 10 min OCT at 0 h were compared between the two groups, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The difference in MAP,CVP,ScvO2,Lac level at 0 h and 6 h in two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The difference in OCT level at 10 min was statistically significant (P<0.05).The incidence of septic shock-related ARDS, the proportion of severe ARDS and the proportion of invasive mechanical ventilation in group B were 85.00%, 50.00% and 45.00%, respectively, which were all higher than those in group A (35.00%, 15.00% and 15.00%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The case fatality rate of patients in group B on 28 d was 90%, higher than that of group A (35%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).OCT at 10 min 6 h after oral glucose ≥ 66 mmHg was a protective factor for death in ICU (P<0.05) and death at 28 d (P<0.05). Conclusion Transcutaneous oxygen challenge test is a reliable indicator to predict ARDS during fluid resuscitation in septic shock patients. |
