Clinical Trial Summary

Sepsis is one of the most challenging conditions with an exceptionally high mortality rate. Diastolic Dysfunction is common in septic patients and has been found to be associated with mortality. However, the reasons for this remain unclear. Therefore, the goal of this study is to investigate diastolic dysfunction in septic patients on the intensive care unit. Special attention is paid to the presence of lung edema and general edema as a potential link between diastolic dysfunction and elevated mortality in septic patients. During the septic phase daily ultrasound examinations of heart and lung will be performed as to monitor diastolic function and lung edema.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Diastolic Dysfunction Diastolic Dysfunction specified by echocardiographic doppler derived mitral inflow pattern and tissue doppler derived diastolic mitral annular velocities (E/E'). While in septic condition, up to 10 days maximum.
Primary Pulmonary Edema Pulmonary edema specified by B line ultrasound score (Lung ultrasound protocol for the assessment of pulmonary fluid status according to Enghardt et al. 2015). While in septic condition, up to 10 days maximum.
