Abstract

To explore whether ultrasound abnormalities in the non-gravity dependent areas (area 1-2) of the lungs are associated with poor prognosis in patients with shock and on mechanical ventilation.  Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the data of lung ultrasound from 181 patients with shock from Apr. 2016 to Nov. 2017. The patients were divided into the survival group and the non-survival group according to the 28 d outcome. Single factor and multivariate Cox regression were used to analyze the relationship between lung ultrasound score of the overall and each area and the 28 d mortality.Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the relationship between the severity of ultrasound lesions in area 1-2 and the prognosis at 28 d.  Results  169 patients were included.There were 106 males (62.7%) and 63 females (37.3%).There were 90 patients in the survivel group and 79 patients in the non-survival group.Single factor Cox regression analysis found that adjusting the age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score, lactate level, urine output per hour, application of vasoactive agent, oxygenation index, lungs ultrasound score of area 1-6, area 1-2 and area 3-4 were associated with 28 d mortality. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that lung ultrasound score of area 1-2 was the independent risk factor of 28 d mortality, as well as APACHE Ⅱ score and lactate level. The Kaplan-Meier curve found that the more severe the lesion in area 1-2, the lower the survival rate at 28 d.  Conclusion  Lung ultrasound score of area 1-2 in patients with shock and on mechanical ventilation may be a predictor of poor prognosis at 28 d.
