- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate characteristics of septic shock patients treated with hydrocortisone (HC) due to suspicion of critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) as compared to septic shock patients without suspicion of CIRCI., Design: Retrospective study between February 2010 and October 2017., Setting: University teaching hospital ICU., Animals: Data were collected for 47 dogs with septic shock. Twenty-one dogs were treated with HC (HC-treated) due to suspicion of CIRCI. Twenty-six dogs did not receive HC (non-HC-treated)., Interventions: HC was administered either as an intermittent IV bolus or as a constant rate infusion (CRI) to those patients with suspected CIRCI., Measurements and Main Results: Significantly higher baseline APPLE
full scores and predicted mortality were detected in the HC-treated patients compared to non-HC-treated patients (0.87 vs 0.44 for predicted mortality, P = 0.039). Patients in the HC-treated group were on more vasopressors and cardiotonics than those in the non-HC-treated group (2.5 vs 1.5, P <0 .001). All patients initially responded to vasopressor administration, with average time to resolution of hypotension being 90 minutes for the HC-treated group compared to 60 minutes for the non-HC-treated group (P = 0.640). However, HC-treated patients took significantly longer to have a sustained resolution (a systolic blood pressure > 90 mm Hg or a mean blood pressure > 65 mm Hg for at least 4 h) of their hypotension after starting vasopressors, as compared to their non-HC-treated counterparts (8.5 vs 4 h, P = 0.001). Three (14.3%) HC-treated patients survived to discharge compared to 9 (34.6%) non-HC-treated patients, but this was not statistically significant., Conclusions: 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. Further studies are needed to evaluate the use of HC in patients with suspected CIRCI., (© Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society 2021.)- Published

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of cryopoor plasma (CPP) continuous rate infusion (CRI) on albumin concentration and colloid osmotic pressure (COP) in critically ill dogs with hypoalbuminemia., Design: Retrospective study between 2013 and 2015 with a 90-day follow-up on survivors., Setting: University teaching hospital., Animals: Ten hypoalbuminemic dogs receiving a CPP CRI for albumin replacement or oncotic support. All patients with documented hypoalbuminemia or low COP receiving CPP administration for albumin or oncotic support during the study period were included., Interventions: CRI of CPP., Measurements and Main Results: Mean age was 7.4 ± 4.5 years. Mean survival prediction index score was 0.66 ± 0.13. Seven dogs were septic, with 2 of 7 in septic shock and 5 of 7 having septic peritonitis. The mean pre- and postinfusion albumin was 15 ± 4 g/L and 21 ± 2 g/L, respectively. The median pre- and postinfusion COP was 8.6 mm Hg (4.9-9.7 mm Hg) and 10.2 mm Hg (8.1-13.3 mm Hg), respectively. The median duration of CRI was 16 hours (11-121 h). The mean CPP rate was 1.8 ± 0.6 mL/kg/h, the mean crystalloid rate administered concurrently was 0.8 ± 0.9 mL/kg/h, and the mean hydroxyethyl starch rate administered concurrently was 1.2 ± 0.9 mL/kg/h. The difference in pre- and postinfusion albumin was significantly correlated with CPP rate (P = 0.0004), whereas the difference in pre- and postinfusion COP was correlated with hydroxyethyl starch rate (P = 0.0128). Mean duration of hospitalization was 8.6 ± 3.9 days. Mann-Whitney U and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare survivors and nonsurvivors. Survivors were significantly younger than nonsurvivors (3.5 vs 11.5 y, P = 0.033). No side effects were reported. Survival to discharge was 40% with identical 90-day survival. Of the nonsurvivors, 50% died naturally., Conclusions: There was an association between the rate of CPP and the change in albumin after CPP CRI in critically ill dogs, suggesting that CPP may be a viable option for treatment of hypoalbuminemia., (© Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society 2019.)

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the stability of canine and feline hemostatic proteins in freeze-thaw-cycled (FTC) fresh frozen plasma (FFP)., Design: Prospective study., Setting: Veterinary Teaching Hospital., Animals: Nine blood donor dogs and 10 blood donor cats., Interventions: Whole blood was collected and separated into packed RBC and plasma units according to standard methods. Each unit of plasma was divided into 2 equal aliquots and frozen (-41 °C). One aliquot from each donor (FTC) was then thawed and then refrozen (-41 °C) until time of analysis. The second aliquot (nonfreeze-thaw-cycled; NFTC) remained frozen until time of analysis. The hemostatic proteins assessed included coagulation factors, anticoagulant factors (antithrombin and Protein C), and adhesive proteins (fibrinogen and von Willebrand Factor). The coagulant activities of factors II, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII were measured in modified one-stage activated partial thromboplastin time or prothrombin time assays. Antithrombin and Protein C activities were measured in chromogenic substrate assays. Clottable fibrinogen was measured via the Clauss method, and von Willebrand Factor concentration (vWF:Ag) was measured in an ELISA. A paired t-test was utilized to identify differences in factor activity or concentration between FTC FFP and NFTC FFP., Measurements and Main Results: No clinically or statistically significant differences (all P>0.05) were identified between FTC FFP and NFTC FFP., Conclusions: Refreezing FFP within 1 hour of initial thawing appeared to have no deleterious effects on the hemostatic protein activity or content of that unit. Transfusion of FTC FFP is expected to provide the recipient with comparable replacement of hemostatic proteins as FFP that has remained frozen., (© Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society 2010.)
