SEPSIS Flashcards
Acceleration of the identification of sepsis-inducing bacteria in cultures of dog and cat blood
Ulrich JSAP 2020
MALDI-TOF MS analysis combined with the Sepsityper kit is a reliable tool for a quick detection of veterinary-relevant bacterial species directly from blood culture bottles. This approach could reduce the time for identification of critical species to only 24 hours.
Hypophosphatemia in Dogs With Presumptive Sepsis: A Retrospective Study (2008-2018) Chu Frontiers 2021
- dogs with hypophosphatemia, a presumed diagnosis of sepsis was associated with increased mortality
- dogs with presumptive sepsis, hypophosphatemia was not associated with outcome.
Circulating Methemoblogin Fraction in Dogs With Sepsis Troia 2020 Frontiers
mild methemoglobinemia is detected in dogs with sepsis, and methemoglobin values above the RI might be associated with a worse outcome.
Evaluation of Serum Apolipoprotein A1 in Canine Sepsis Giunti 2020 Frontiers
Apo-A1 might support a diagnosis of canine septic peritonitis with a potential prognostic significance.
Evaluation of the host cytokine response in dogs with sepsis and noninfectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome Goggs 2019 JVECC
Dogs with sepsis have significantly increased concentrations of HMGB-1 and inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, CXCL8, and KC-like.
- Increased CCL2 concentration is a negative prognostic indicator in dogs with sepsis.
Prospective evaluation of plasma lactate parameters for prognosticating dogs with shock BLuntinger 2021 JVECC
While neither single APPLEfast nor admission plasma lactate concentration could discriminate between hospital survivors and non-survivors, measures of lactate clearance can prognosticate survival in dogs with shock.
Serum procalcitonin concentrations in dogs with induced endotoxemia JVIM 2020 Easley et al
Procalcitonin expression is likely to be a clinically useful biomarker for sepsis in dogs and might have an additional role in prognostication and therapeutic decision-making.
Feasibility study evaluating a veterinary point-of-care urine culture system for diagnosing septic peritonitis JVECC 2021
Point-of-care urine culture systems valuated in this study was less sensitive and less rapid for diagnosing septic peritonitis than blood glucose to peritoneal effusion glucose ratio and plasma lactate to peritoneal effusion glucose ratio
Clinical features and outcome of septic shock in dogs: 37 Cases (2008-2015) JVECC 2021 Summers
Mean number of organ dysfunction was 3.24 ± 1.0, and included cardiovascular (100%), respiratory (73%), hematologic (68%), renal (49%), and hepatic (32%) dysfunction
Mortality rate was 81.1%. Survivors were more likely to have a feeding tube, have GI sepsis over resp failure.
Survivors received 4.1 ± 1.3 interventions, whereas nonsurvivors received 2.4 ± 1.4 - Early antimicrobial therapy and the utilization of treatment bundles may increase survivability in dogs with septic shock.
Evaluation of the quick sequential organ failure assessment score plus lactate in critically ill dogs JSAP Ortolani 2021
quick sequential organ failure assessment was not able to predict survival in a general population of critically ill patients
The predominance and diagnostic value of neutrophils in differentiating transudates and exudates in dogs vet clin path 2021 Alonso
Although effusions with <50% neutrophils are transudates, most transudates and exudates have ≥50% neutrophils, limiting the diagnostic usefulness of % neutrophils for classifying effusions.
Biomarker Guided Diagnosis of Septic Peritonitis in Dogs Goggs 2019 Frontiers
septic peritonitis vs ascites
Dogs with SP had significantly greater effusion CCL2, IL-6, IL-10, and lactate concentrations than dogs with ascites.
Blood-effusion concentration gradients of CCL2, glucose, IL-6, IL-10, and lactate were significantly different in dogs with SP compared to dogs with ascites - lactate performed well
effusion lactate concentration of 4.2 mmol/L was 72.2% sensitive and 84.2% specific for the diagnosis of SP.
Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome: A pilot study in 21 dogs MArchetti Vet Journal 2021
In this study, CIRCI and low-dose hydrocortisone treatment were not significantly associated with mortality, but basal hypercortisolemia was associated with increased mortality.
A retrospective study of 237 dogs hospitalized with suspected acute hemorrhagic diarrhea syndrome: Disease severity, treatment, and outcome JVIM 2021 Dupont
The majority of dogs hospitalized with suspected AHDS improve rapidly with symptomatic treatment only, despite signs of systemic disease on initial presentation
Retrospective evaluation of the use of hydrocortisone for treatment of suspected critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) in dogs with septic shock (2010-2017): 47 cases Summers JVECCS 2021
HC-treated patients had a higher baseline risk of mortality than non-HC-treated patients.
There was no significant difference in survival between the HC-treated and non-HC-treated septic shock patients.
