dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVES:To investigate the effects of immediate start of norepinephrine versus initial fluid loading followed by norepinephrine on macro hemodynamics, regional splanchnic and intestinal microcirculatory flows in endotoxic shock. DESIGN:Animal experimental study. SETTING:University translational research laboratory. SUBJECTS:Fifteen Landrace pigs. INTERVENTIONS:Shock was induced by escalating dose of lipopolysaccharide. Animals were allocated to immediate start of norepinephrine (i-NE) (n = 6) versus mandatory 1-hour fluid loading (30 mL/kg) followed by norepinephrine (i-FL) (n = 6). Once mean arterial pressure greater than or equal to 75 mm Hg was, respectively, achieved, successive mini-fluid boluses of 4 mL/kg of Ringer Lactate were given whenever: a) arterial lactate greater than 2.0 mmol/L or decrease less than 10% per 30 min and b) fluid responsiveness was judged to be positive. Three additional animals were used as controls (Sham) (n = 3). Time x group interactions were evaluated by repeated-measures analysis of variance. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Hypotension was significantly shorter in i-NE group (7.5 min [5.5-22.0 min] vs 49.3 min [29.5-60.0 min]; p < 0.001). Regional mesenteric and microcirculatory flows at jejunal mucosa and serosa were significantly higher in i-NE group at 4 and 6 hours after initiation of therapy (p = 0.011, p = 0.032, and p = 0.017, respectively). Misdistribution of intestinal microcirculatory blood flow at the onset of shock was significantly reversed in i-NE group (p < 0.001), which agreed with dynamic changes in mesenteric-lactate levels (p = 0.01) and venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide differences (p = 0.001). Animals allocated to i-NE showed significantly higher global end-diastolic volumes (p = 0.015) and required significantly less resuscitation fluids (p < 0.001) and lower doses of norepinephrine (p = 0.001) at the end of the experiment. Pulmonary vascular permeability and extravascular lung water indexes were significantly lower in i-NE group (p = 0.021 and p = 0.004, respectively). CONCLUSIONS:In endotoxemic shock, immediate start of norepinephrine significantly improved regional splanchnic and intestinal microcirculatory flows when compared with mandatory fixed-dose fluid loading preceding norepinephrine. Immediate norepinephrine strategy was related with less resuscitation fluids and lower vasopressor doses at the end of the experiment.
