Abstract

Early goal directed therapy (EGDT) is a bundle of care (monitoring ScvO2 and lactate along with clinical parameters and instituting therapy) that has shown to improve outcomes in patients with septic shock. We conducted a systematic review of clinical trials and observational studies to compare intermittent versus continuous monitoring of ScvO2. We did major database searches till August 2020. Hospitalized children (>2 months age) and adults with septic shock were included. The intervention was “intermittent ScvO2 monitoring,” and the comparator was “continuous ScvO2 monitoring.” The primary outcome is “all-cause mortality.” Of 564 citations, 3 studies (n = 541) including both children and adults were included in the analysis. There was no significant difference in the “overall/all-cause mortality” (two randomized controlled trials; 258 participants) between the “intermittent” and “continuous” ScvO2 monitoring groups (relative risk [RR]: 1.00; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.8–1.24). However, a single observational study (283 participants) showed a significant increase in mortality in the intermittent group (RR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.03–2.05). The GRADE evidence generated for “overall/all-cause mortality” was of “moderate certainty.” To conclude, the present meta-analysis did not find any significant difference between “intermittent” and “continuous” ScvO2 monitoring in patients with septic shock.
