RESUMO

Background: The low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is a serious and complex stage in the pathophysiology of heart failure. Regional blood flow alters depending on different organs and systems, with special impact on the kidney. Acute renal failure is common in patients with LOCS, and it is an independent predictor of increased morbidity and mortality. Objective: To determine the effect of early treatment on renal function of patients with LCOS and renal dysfunction based on predefined clinical criteria and invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the effect of early treatment on serum lactate, APACHE II score and intensive care unit length of stay. Methods: This study was a single-centered randomized controlled trial including thirty- one patients with LCOS and left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) lower than 35% (echocardiogram), mean arterial blood pressure lower than 65 mmHg, inadequate peripheral perfusion signs, urinary output lower than 0.5 ml/kg/h and serum creatinine higher than 1.4 mg/dl. Patients were randomized to two arms: a) conventional treatment (CT), following standard intensive care unit (ICU) routine, and b) direct-goal therapy (DGT) with 72-hour invasive hemodynamic monitoring, with intraarterial blood pressure monitoring and pulmonary-artery catheter, aiming arterial oxygen saturation higher than 95%, pulmonary artery wedge pressure higher than 18 mmHg, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) higher than 65 mmHg, hematocrit higher than 30% and mixed venous oxygen saturation higher than 60%. Data were registered sequentially during 72 hours (6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours) and patients were followed up to 28 days. Results: At admission, groups CT(n=16) and DGT(n=15) were comparable regarding age (49.1±11.2 and 52.0±11.3 years p= 0.483), sex (female 6.2 and 20% p= 0.33, male 93.7 and 80% p= 0.33), body mass index (24.1±1.9 and 23.3±2.1 Kg/h2 p=0.354), LVEF (24.1±7.1% and 21.6±4.8% p= 0.286), APACHE II score (14.5±3.1 and 15.6±4.1 p = 0,423), serum creatinine (1.7±0.3 and 1.7±0.3 mg/dl p=0.354), hemoglobin (13.1±0.9 and 12.4±0.9 mg/dl p=0.066), serum lactate(19.8±6.2 and 23.7±7.4 mg/dl p=0.666), MAP (71.0±7.2 and 66.9±3.8 mmhg p=0.479 ), central venous pressure (CVP) (14.5±4.2 and 14.7±4.8 mmhg p=0.457) and urine output (0.5±0.4 and 0.3±0.2 ml/kg/h p= 0.257). However, venous oxygen saturation was unbalanced at baseline (48±17% and 37±8% p= 0.034). Data obtained at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours were similar between groups, with increases in urinary output, serum creatinine decrease, adequate levels of MAP and CVP, increase in central venous saturation (SVcO2) and mixed venous saturation (SVO2). After 72 hours, we observed reduction in APACHE II score and serum lactate. Length of ICU stay was similar between groups. Conclusion: Treatment in both groups was equally effective in improving renal function. In addition, a decrease in the APACHE II prognostic score and serum lactate concentration was corroborated by a favorable clinical outcome and haemodynamics variables, although a change in ICU LOS did not take place.
