
45 yr old lady admitted for work up of chest
pain and SOB. ICU called as she is now on 80%
FiO2. When she is assessed she looks
comfortable, with RR of 26 but sats are 93%.
She has L and R chest pain that does not
radiate. She has not voided in 2 hours.


Her past Hx is significant for primary pulmonary
hypertension (Mild), type 2 DM, ORIF of L femur
# 1 year ago, and smokes 1 PPD, 1-4 marijuana,
and crack (when she can afford it).
On exam, she is obese, diaphoretic, temp 38.5oC,
BP 90/40, HR 120. Chest has decreased A/E RLL,
heart sounds: normal S1 & S2 with grade 3
pansystolic murmur is heard along the lower left
sternal border. Jugular venous distention with a
prominent V wave. RUQ fullness but no
tenderness on abdo exam.


Labs: WBC 15, Hb 100, plt 250, Na 141, K 5.1,
Creat 189, Trop I 5.1, lactate 5. Liver enzymes
are elevated. ABG: 7.34/25/69/17.
ECG shows sinus tachy, and CXR is clear
except possible RLL infiltrate and an enlarged
heart silhouette and loss of PA window.

What is associated with an elevated
Troponin in the critically ill?


As you bring her down to the Unit her sats
drop to 88% and her pressure drops to 80/40!
You intubate her (grade 2 airway) but her sats
are still 90% on FiO2 1.0 and her BP is 84/37.
Question 3. What physiological effect does
mechanical ventilation and PEEP have on the R
ventricle?


in patients free of previous cardiorespiratory
disease, mechanical ventilation with a normal
Vt does not have any discernible hemodynamic
consequences
In the presence of a pulmonary or cardiac
disease PPV related adverse hemodynamic
effects may seriously complicate respiratory
support.


On the one hand, tidal ventilation or PEEP
application changes in transpulmonary
pressure directly affect RV outflow impedance.
On the other hand, tidal ventilation or PEEP
increase in pleural pressure increases RV
effective elastance, a factor limiting diastolic
filling.
Jellinek H, Influence of positive airway
pressure on the pressure gradient for
venous return in humans. J Appl Physiol
88:926–932
During diastole, when
pleural pressure is
increased, a higher filling
pressure is necessary to
obtain an adequate end
diastolic volume.

Question 4. What imaging modalities are there
for the heart and what are their advantages and
disadvantages?
TTE
 TEE
 SPECT and Multigated (MUGA)
 MRI
 MDCT
 coronary angiography



Real-time 3dimensional
echocardiography
(RT3DE)
hand-carried
ultrasound (HCU)

Bedside echo show a very dilated R ventricle
and mod-severe TR. Her septum is D shaped
and PA pressures estimate to be 50 mmHg.
Her L ventricle has some decreased function
but is also empty. There is no wall motion
defects noted.



Yes: it is possible
evidence suggests that despite the differences
between the ventricles in structure and
function, right ventricular dysfunction in septic
shock closely parallels left.
Ventricular function in both sepsis and septic
shock is characterized by ventricular dilation
and decreased L/RVEF. In septic shock
survivors, these changes resolve over 7 to 14
days.

Multiple cytokines are potentially responsible
for the cardiac dysfunction, possibly through
NO and cGMP pathways.
TNFa
 IL-1b
 IL-2 and IL-6
 IFN-gamma
 Cytokine synergy also may play a major role in
septic myocardial depression




Survival from septic shock is associated with
acute, reversible left ventricular dilation and
decrease in LVEF.
Nonsurvivors only undergo this process
inconsistently.
Reversible right ventricular dilation and
decrease in EF also are seen, but the prognostic
significance is uncertain




RV and LV dysfunction in sepsis are not
thought to be caused by coronary
hypoperfusion
But….
RV more at risk of hypoperfusion than left
(coronary perfusion is 50% in systole vs only
20% on left side)
RV very dependent on systolic pressure.
Even worse in RCA disease


1. Volume overload
2. Direct compression of the RV
pericardial effusion,
 pericardial fibrosis,
 tumor,
 massive pleural effusion


3. Lower extremity edema due to

extrinsic compression of venous or lymphatics, renal
failure, alterations in the renin-angiotensin system,
or drug therapy

You try to float a PA catheter but are unable
even with fluoroscopy and anesthesia assisting
(true story). Your resident gets the central line
in and asks if you want to bolus the patient


RV may have some compensatory reserve so
volume loading may improve RV output.
excessive volume loading may paradoxically
worsen RV contractile function through RV
dilation
impediment to LV filling through the
interventricular septum or through pericardial
restriction
 Leads to low CO and RV hypoperfusion


Vasopressors and Inotropes.
Dobutamine
 Norepinephrine
 Milrinone
 Levosimendan (sensitizes myofilaments to calcium)


Post hoc analysis showed that treatment with
levosimendan was associated with a greater
reduction in those hepatic markers of rightventr

critically ill patients with severe right ventricular

>20 mm Hg, significant hypoxemia, and a PVR index
>4400 dynes sec/cm 5/m2


Treatment is started and there is some
improvement on echo of her R ventricular
function and PA pressures.
That night her Hb dropped to 80 and she was
transfused 2 U by the resident on call. She
dropped her sats 2 hours later and her CXR
looked like bilateral “white out”.
She does not progress well over the next few
days and it is apparent her L ventricular
function is worse now. Your resident suggests
contacting CV surgery about implanting an
“assist devise”.

She finally responds to treatment enough to be
extubated and is sent to the ward. She will be
assessed by the transplant team while in
hospital.
