BACKGROUND: The incidence of neonatal septic shock in low-income countries is 26.8% with a mortality rate of 35.4%. The evidence of the hemodynamic effects of noradrenaline in neonates remains sparse. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of noradrenaline in neonates with septic shock. METHODS: This was a single-center prospective cohort study in a tertiary care hospital's level III neonatal intensive care unit. Neonates with septic shock and those who received noradrenaline as a first-line vasoactive agent were included...

Clinical parameters used for hemodynamic assessment and titration of vasopressor therapy in neonates with septic shock have several limitations. Functional echocardiography is an emerging tool for bedside assessment of cardiac function and may be useful for diagnosis of shock and assessing the response to therapy. Data regarding echocardiographic parameters in neonates with shock is lacking. This prospective observational study was conducted in a Level III NICU with the primary objective of comparing echocardiographic characteristics of neonates with septic shock at diagnosis, following fluid boluses, and after maximum inotropic support [A1]...

UNLABELLED: The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of dopamine (DA) versus norepinephrine (NE) as first-line therapy for sepsis-related hypotension in preterm infants. This is a retrospective cohort study over 10 years at two tertiary neonatal units. Preterm infants born < 35 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA), who received DA or NE as primary therapy for hypotension during sepsis, defined as culture-positive or culture-negative infections or necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), were included...

BACKGROUND: Although many improvements in neonatal care have been achieved, mortality rates for sepsis and septic shock in newborns are still high. The vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) was designed and studied to predict mortality in different settings. There are currently no data on the predictive ability of the VIS for mortality in newborn patients with septic shock. METHODS: Patients with late-onset neonatal sepsis who required inotropes because of fluid-refractory septic shock during the study period were included in the study...

Sepsis is a life-threatening response to infection that contributes significantly to neonatal and pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide. The key tenets of care include early recognition of potential sepsis, rapid intervention with appropriate fluids to restore adequate tissue perfusion, and empiric antibiotics to cover likely pathogens. Vasoactive/inotropic agents are recommended if tissue perfusion and hemodynamics are inadequate following initial fluid resuscitation. Several adjunctive therapies have been suggested with theoretical benefit, though definitive recommendations are not yet supported by research reports...

OBJECTIVES: To compare demographic/clinical/laboratory/treatments and outcomes among children and adolescents with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study that included patients diagnosed with pediatric COVID-19 (aged <18 years) between April 11, 2020 and April 22, 2021. During this period, 102/5,951 (1.7%) of all admissions occurred in neonates, children, and adolescents. Furthermore, 3,962 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection samples were processed in patients aged <18 years, and laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 occurred in 155 (4%) inpatients and outpatients...

Background: The use of vasoactive agents like arginine vasopressin (AVP) and terlipressin to treat hypotension or persistent pulmonary hypertension in critically ill preterm neonates is increasing. Therefore, a systematic review of the available data on dosing, efficacy and safety of AVP and terlipressin in this patient population appears beneficial. Methods: We will conduct a systematic review of the available evidence on the use of AVP and terlipressin for the treatment of hypotension or persistent pulmonary hypertension in preterm neonates...

Hemodynamic monitoring and categorization of patients based on fluid responsiveness is the key to decisions prompting the use of fluids and vasoactive agents in septic shock. Distinguishing patients who are going to benefit from fluids from those who will not is of paramount importance as large amounts of fluids used conventionally based on surviving sepsis guidelines may be detrimental. Noninvasive monitoring techniques for the assessment of various cardiovascular parameters are increasingly accepted as the current medical practice...

OBJECTIVE: To study the predictive factors for poor prognosis of neonates with early-onset sepsis (EOS). METHODS: The clinical data of 371 neonates with EOS were collected. According to prognosis, they were divided into a good prognosis group with 264 neonates and a poor prognosis group with 107 neonates. The two groups were compared in terms of perinatal conditions, clinical manifestations, laboratory markers, comorbidities, and treatment process. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the predictive factors for poor prognosis of EOS...

Despite advances in neonatal intensive care sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock remain the biggest killers of neonatal foals. Management of this severe syndrome remains difficult, requiring intensive intervention. Key aspects of management include infection control, hemodynamic support, immunomodulatory interventions, and metabolic/endocrine support. Infection control largely consists of early antimicrobial therapy, plasma transfusions, and local therapy for the infected focus. In cases with severe sepsis or septic shock, hemodynamic support with fluids, vasoactive agents, and respiratory support insuring oxygen delivery to vital organs is important...

GOAL: This study had for aim to determine the mortality rate and the factors affecting mortality among 70 children admitted for septic shock secondary to a community acquired infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made of patients admitted between January 1998 and August 2005, in a pediatric ICU for septic shock secondary to a community-acquired infection. Neonates under 7 days of age were excluded from the study. RESULTS: Seventy cases were included and 32 (45...

Successful management of neonatal shock is driven by the etiology and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular compromise. In the clinical practice, however, we only have a limited ability to recognize the etiology of the condition (hypovolemia, myocardial dysfunction or abnormal vasoregulation). Therefore, management is based on administration of fluid boluses and vasoactive medications according to personal preference rather than to the underlying pathophysiology. In addition, although management strategies aimed at improving systemic blood pressure may have been associated with a decrease in mortality in critically ill neonates, there are no prospective data on the effect of these management strategies on morbidity, especially on long-term neurodevelopmental outcome...

The role of PACAP receptor in nociceptive transmission was investigated in vitro using maxadilan, a PACAP receptor selective agonist and max.d.4, a PACAP receptor selective antagonist. Potentials, from a ventral root (L3 - L5) of an isolated spinal cord preparation or a spinal cord - saphenous nerve - skin preparation from 0 - 3-day-old rats, were recorded extracellularly. In the isolated spinal cord preparation, single shock stimulation of a dorsal root at C-fibre strength induced a slow depolarizing response lasting about 30 s (slow ventral root potential; slow VRP) in the ipsilateral ventral root of the same segment...
