Abstract
To determine whether a continuous intravenous infusion of pentoxifylline, a methylxanthine derivative, alters the serum cytokine concentrations and/or hemodynamic measurements in patients with septic shock. A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Medical intensive care unit in a university hospital. Sixteen patients with septic shock. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either pentoxifylline (1 mg/kg) followed by an infusion of 1.5 mg/kg/hr for 24 hrs (n = 8), or placebo (n = 8). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-6 concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassays; IL-8 concentrations by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and pentoxifylline concentrations by high-performance liquid chromatography at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48 hrs after study entry. Pulmonary artery catheter-derived hemodynamics were measured at 0, 0.75, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 hrs. In pentoxifylline-treated patients, at 24 hrs, serum concentrations of TNF were significantly lower compared with controls (12 +/- 2 vs. 42 +/- 12 pg/mL, respectively, p = .04). Serum concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 did not differ between the two treatment groups. There were also no significant differences in any hemodynamic and...Continue Reading
