Systemic Oxygen Delivery Targeted Hemoglobin Level in Ventilated Septic Shock Children at Alexandria Intensive Care Unit |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
In Transfusion Strategies for Patients in Pediatric Intensive Care Units study (TRIPICU) study of stable, critically ill children shows a hemoglobin threshold of 7 g per deciliter for red-cell transfusion can decrease transfusion requirements without increasing adverse outcomes.
In TRIPICU children with stable sepsis, no evidence was found that a restrictive red cell transfusion strategy, as compared to a liberal one, increased the rate of new or progressive multiple organ dysfunction syndromes. Furthermore, a restrictive transfusion threshold significantly reduced exposure to blood products. Data suggest that a hemoglobin level of 7.0 g/dl may be safe for stabilized children with sepsis, but further studies are required to support this recommendation.
According to surviving sepsis campaign, the optimal hemoglobin for a critically ill child with severe sepsis is not known.
The rationale of the current study is to overcome the limitations of previous studies in same field by targeting normal systemic oxygen delivery not hemoglobin level per say in critically ill septic shock mechanically ventilated children to achieve resuscitation end points, microcirculatory parameters and decreasing mechanical ventilation days.
