Zusammenfassung

Der vasodilatorische Schock ist die häufigste Schockform des Intensivpatienten. Als Folge übermäßiger und prolongierter Mediatorproduktion kann der vasodilatorische Schock auch aus primär nichtvasodilatorischen Schockzuständen (z. B. kardiogener oder hypovolämer Schock) entstehen. Eine zusätzliche Infusion mit Arginin Vasopressin (AVP) zeigte vorteilhafte Effekte auf die Hämodynamik und wahrscheinlich auch das Outcome bei Patienten mit vasodilatorischem Schock durch Sepsis oder nach großen chirurgischen Eingriffen. In dieser Fallsammlung wird über die erfolgreiche Anwendung von AVP bei drei chirurgischen Intensivpatienten mit primär kardiogenen Schockzuständen berichtet. Die hämodynamischen Effekte von AVP waren den im septischen Schock berichteten AVP-induzierten Veränderungen sehr ähnlich. Diese scheinen auch bei den beschriebenen Patienten maßgeblich durch die potente Vasokonstriktion sowie die ermöglichte Reduktion hoher, potenziell toxischer Katecholamindosierungen bedingt zu sein. Dabei dürfte gerade die AVP-vermittelte Reduktion der Herzfrequenz und der pulmonalarteriellen Drücke bei Patienten mit eingeschränkter kardialer Funktion von Vorteil sein.

Abstract

Vasodilatory shock is the most common form of shock in the critically ill patient. As a consequence of overwhelming and prolonged mediator production, vasodilatory shock can be the common final pathway of primary non-vasodilatory shock (e.g. cardiogenic or hypovolemic shock). A supplementary infusion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) showed beneficial effects on hemodynamics and potentially on the outcome in patients with vasodilatory shock due to sepsis or after major surgery. In this case series, successful administration of AVP in three surgical patients with primary cardiogenic shock forms is reported. The hemodynamic effects of AVP were comparable to those AVP-induced alterations described in septic shock and seem to be predominantly mediated by potent vasoconstriction and the facilitated reduction of higher, potentially toxic catecholamine doses. Thus, an AVP-induced decrease in heart rate and pulmonary arterial pressures may be particularly beneficial in patients with impaired cardiac function.
