Table 1 Indices of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion
From: Hemodynamic optimization of sepsis-induced tissue hypoperfusion
| Measure | Details |
|---|---|
| Indices of global hypoperfusion | Hypotension |
| Tachycarda | |
| Oliguria | |
| Delayed capillary refill | |
| Clouded sensorium | |
| Elevated blood lactate | |
| Low mixed venous O2 saturation | |
| Indices of regional hypoperfusion | Markers of organ function |
| Cardiac: myocardial ischemia | |
| Renal: decreased urine output, increased blood urea nitrogen and creatinine | |
| Hepatic: increased transaminases, increased lactate dehydrogenase, increased bilirubin | |
| Splanchnic: stress ulceration, ileus, malabsorbtion | |
| Direct assessment | |
| Tonometry: increased gastric mucosal CO2 tension | |
| Sublingual capnometry: increased sublingual CO2 tension | |
| Near infrared spectroscopy: decreased tissue O2 saturation | |
| Orthogonal polarization spectral imaging: low flow velocity score |
