Filter by:Oxidative stress is one of the main mechanisms causing harm in severe infection with septic shock, ischemia-reperfusion injury in resuscitated cardiac arrest and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Melatonin is a potent scavenger of the mediators of oxidative stress, oxygen and nitrogen-reactive species, which directly injure cell structures like walls and DNA and thus cause organ dysfunction. In a previous study we have observed that high-dose oral bedtime melatonin (OBM) is associated with improved organ function in severe Covid-19 patients
More than 10,000 children are hospitalized in an PICU every year in Canada. While most of them will survive their PICU hospitalization and their critical illness, some children will not recover to their pre-illness level. Some may develop behavioral, physical, emotional or developmental problems and difficulties at school. All these problems are elements that are part of the Pediatric Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS-p). It is important to understand the elements (risk factors) that play a role in the development of PICS-p. In Canada, there is no systematic follow-up for children after they leave the PICU. Understanding what can cause PICS-p (risk factors) and how much PICS-p has an impact on children and their family is very important to the family well-being.
Norepinephrine is a catecholamine that is the first-line vasopressor for septic shock. The addition of non-catecholamine vasopressors, including vasopressin and angiotensin-II may be used in adults with septic shock that have inadequate mean arterial pressure while on norepinephrine. Uncertainty exists regarding the timing of initiation of these agents and there is a lack of data comparing their safety and efficacy. The current literature suggests that earlier initiation of angiotensin-II will have a more significant reduction on norepinephrine-equivalent dose compared to later initiation. In addition, approximately half of patients initiated on vasopressin do not have an early hemodynamic response 6 hours after initiation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of angiotensin-II when used as the second vasopressor agent for septic shock.
Assess the effectiveness and safety of using dynamic arterial elastance as a tool for weaning vasopressor support in patients with septic shock, compared to a control group
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of VBI-S in elevating the blood pressure of septic shock patients with absolute or relative hypovolemia.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between plasma levels of DDX17 and GSDMD with vascular endothelial dysfunction and prognosis of in sepsis patients. Design: A single center, prospective, observational research. Participants: Patients with sepsis who are hospitalized to Southeast University Affiliated Zhongda Hospital and meet the diagnostic criteria for sepsis 3.0. Inclusion criteria:1. There is a potential or clear infection; 2. Sequential organ failure score (SOFA score) increases by more than or equal to 2 points compared to the baseline value; 3. Sign informed consent form. Exclusion criteria: Age<18 years old or>80 years old, pregnant women, tumor patients, including diseases that may be complicated with vascular endothelial damage: hypertension, acute and chronic hepatitis (hepatitis caused by virus), liver cirrhosis, PT prolongation after liver transplantation, acute myocardial infarction, chronic tubular nephritis, chronic renal insufficiency/maintenance hemodialysis, renal transplantation, interstitial pneumonia, acute pancreatitis, active phase of systemic lupus erythematosus Ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, HELLP syndrome. Primary outcome: 28-day mortality. Secondary outcome: Plasma levels of DDX17 and GSDMD, and their correlation with vascular endothelial injury, severity, and prognosis in sepsis patients.
The aim of this study is to find the utility of red cell distribution width and lactate/albumin ratio as prognostic markers in sepsis and septic shock patients.
Randomized, prospective, multicenter, open-label, controlled, parallel-group interventional trial to test the adjunctive effect of therapeutic plasma exchange in patients with early septic shock.
The goal of this phase 2, multicenter, randomized, controlled study is to evaluate the effect of albumin treatment on B cell and other immune cell gene exptression in adults with septic shock.
- Testing the association between circulating candidate proteins and the level of vascular leakage for three distinct forms of circulatory failure: cardiogenic shock, septic shock, and post-resuscitation syndrome. - Describing immuno-inflammatory profiles associated with massive vascular leakage during those three forms of circulatory failure in humans
