Filter by:The focus of this study will be to conduct a prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) at Cape Regional Medical Center (CRMC), Oroville Hospital (OH), and UCSF Medical Center (UCSF) in which a subpopulation-optimized algorithm will be applied to EHR data for the detection of severe sepsis. For patients determined to have a high risk of severe sepsis, the algorithm will generate automated voice, telephone notification to nursing staff at CRMC, OH, and UCSF. The algorithm's performance will be measured by analysis of the primary endpoint, in-hospital SIRS-based mortality. The secondary endpoints will be in-hospital severe sepsis/shock-coded mortality, SIRS-based hospital length of stay, and severe sepsis/shock-coded hospital length of stay.
The aim of the work is to investigate the effect of using lidocaine in combination with low dose ketamine in induction of anesthesia for septic shock patients compared to normal dose of ketamine.
Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors increase LDL receptors by decreasing its degradation. In sepsis the pathogenic substances, endotoxin, lipoteichoic acid, phospholipomannan are the main cause of the ongoing inflammation that causes the severe damage and outcome. these substances are removed from the blood by the LDL receptors. By administering PCSK9 inhibitors to patients with sepsis/septic shock this inflammatory response can be stopped and by doing so improve the patients outcome.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of LJPC-501 infusion on mean arterial pressure (MAP) as assessed by standard of care vasopressor dose reduction in pediatric patients with catecholamine-resistant hypotension (CRH). In addition, this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of LJPC-501 in pediatric patients, evaluate changes in catecholamine and other vasopressor doses over time, evaluate the change in MAP over time, and the change in Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) scores.
The objective of the present study is to investigate accuracy of changes in cardiac output following passive leg raising as estimated by transthoracic ultrasound as method to predict fluid responsiveness and compare that to changes in cardiac output following PLR as estimated by calibrated pulse contour analysis as method to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with septic shock.
A prospective longitudinal study similar to the one performed by Claushuis and colleagues (2016) will be performed in order to further understand the epidemiology and clinical relationship between platelet levels and mortality secondary to septic shock in a different population. The primary objective is to compare the mortality due to septic shock between patients with thrombocytopenia and patients with normal platelet levels in the ICU of the General Hospital of León, Gto. The secondary objectives are to identify the association between mortality due to septic shock and mild, moderate and severe thrombocytopenia in patients admitted to the ICU at 30, 60 and 90 days. Research questions Is there an association between thrombocytopenia and mortality due to septic shock in patients admitted to the critical medicine service? Our hypotheses are that: 1. Mortality from septic shock and thrombocytopenia at 30, 60 and 90 days will be higher in patients with thrombocytopenia than in patients normal platelet counts. Is there an association between the degree of thrombocytopenia and mortality from septic shock in patients admitted to the critical medicine service? Our hypotheses are that: 1. Mortality from septic shock and thrombocytopenia at 30, 60 and 90 days will be higher in patients with mild thrombocytopenia than in patients without thrombocytopenia. 2. Mortality from septic shock and thrombocytopenia at 30, 60 and 90 days will be higher in patients with moderate thrombocytopenia than in patients without thrombocytopenia. 3. Mortality from septic shock and thrombocytopenia at 30, 60 and 90 days will be higher in patients with severe thrombocytopenia than in patients without thrombocytopenia.
Investigators propose to investigate the use of IV vitamins B1 and C in a randomized, double-blinded, prospective trial to determine if these medications decrease mortality rates in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of coupled therapeutic plasma exchange adsorption diafiltration (PEAF )for treating septic shock with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome patients in ICU.
A randomized control trial among patients with septic shock, studying the incidence, progression and recovery of AKI.
Continual surveillance of both community-acquired and nosocomial bloodstream infections for specific target organisms. Analysis of comorbidities, complications, bacterial resistance patterns, bacterial genomics (e. g. via WGS and MLST typing) for the determinants of clinical outcomes. The clinical outcomes are investigated both in the short-term (up until discharge) and the long-term (six months after index blood culture by standardized questionnaire). A predictive point-of-care score is to be developed based on these data to define high-risk patient populations requiring more intensive diagnostic and/or treatment regimens.
