Abstract:Objective To explore the value of different fluid resuscitation monitoring methods in septic shock patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods Eighty-four patients with septic shock and severe ARDS admitted to the emergency department of our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study objects. The patients were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, with 42 cases in each group. Both groups received routine treatment. The observation group received fluid resuscitation under the monitoring of pulse indication continuous cardiac output (PiCCO), and the control group received fluid resuscitation under the monitoring of central venous pressure (CVP). The standard time, 6 h and 24 h standard rate, blood transfusion, 24 h fluid replacement, time of using vasoactive drugs, time of mechanical ventilation, time of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), time of intensive care unit (ICU), time of using antibiotics, pulmonary function index, metabolic index, and 60-day mortality were compared between the two groups were compared.Results The time of reaching the standard and the number of blood transfusions in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the rate of reaching the standard at 6 h in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in 24 h compliance rate between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05). The 24-hour fluid replacement volume, time of using vasoactive drugs, mechanical ventilation time, CRRT time, ICU treatment time, and antibiotic use time in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The respiratory rate, oxygenation index, lactate level, and creatinine level of the observation group were higher than those of the control group before and after treatment (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in survival rate between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05).Conclusion When patients with septic shock and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome are treated with fluid resuscitation, continuous cardiac output monitoring with pulse indication is helpful to achieve the resuscitation goal at an early stage, shorten the treatment time, improve lung function, and metabolic level.
