Filter by:Patients admitted for polytrauma, severe neurological injury, post-operative monitoring or sepsis/septic shock present with significant inflammation, leading to immunoparalysis, which is responsible for infection, particularly prolonged infection. A study of their lymphocyte phenotype over time could help explore the phenomenon of immunoparalysis.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of continuous 24-hour intravenous infusion of lidocaine on the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for intra-abdominal infection (IAI).The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the impact of continuous 24-hour intravenous lidocaine infusion on the proportion of patients requiring mechanical ventilation, protection of important organ function during the perioperative period, length of hospital stay, and outcomes within 30 days postoperatively.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to develop and utilize an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model for the prediction of postoperative sepsis in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can a remote AI-driven monitoring system accurately predict sepsis risk in postoperative patients? 2. How effectively can this system integrate and analyze multimodal data for early sepsis detection in the surgical ward? Participants are equipped with non-invasive PPG-based wearable devices to continuously monitor vital signs and collect high-quality clinical data. This data, along with demographic and laboratory information from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) of the hospital, are used for AI model development and validation.
This study aims to clarify the role of blood indices of systemic inflammation in ICU-admitted patients with abdominal sepsis to assess their diagnostic significance as well as their prognostic value.
Sepsis is organ dysfunction secondary to an inappropriate host response to infection. In the most severe cases, circulatory failure necessitating the introduction of vasopressor therapy is called septic shock. Sepsis and septic shock are life-threatening systemic organ dysfunctions requiring hospitalization in a critical care unit. According to several studies, sepsis accounts for around 30% of patients in these units. In this patient population, mortality in the critical care unit or in hospital is 25.8% and 35.3% respectively. Among the organ dysfunctions associated with sepsis, striated skeletal muscle damage is frequent and possibly severe. The literature refers to this as sepsis-induced myopathy, and describes three main mechanisms: mitochondrial dysfunction, exacerbated proteolysis and altered muscle membrane excitability. Of all the striated skeletal muscles that can be affected, the diaphragm and the muscles of the thoracic and abdominal wall play a major role in breathing. The diaphragm remains the main muscle involved in breathing. Its physiology is twofold. Firstly, through its contraction, the diaphragm is responsible for the lateral movement of the lower ribs, thus increasing the transverse diameter of the thorax. This first action is commonly referred to as "insertional". At the same time, lowering the phrenic center of the diaphragm increases abdominal pressure. Its distinctive upwardly convex domed appearance means that it is intimately in contact with both the chest wall and the abdominal cavity. This particular area of contact is called the apposition zone. It is on this zone, under the action of the abdominal compartment, that positive pressure also generates an outward thrust from the medial face of the lower ribs, a second action commonly referred to as "appositional". A number of studies, including that carried out by our team (US_DIAMONDS, NCT 02474797), have identified a high prevalence of diaphragmatic damage in patients with sepsis or septic shock. This can be as high as 60%. This diaphragmatic dysfunction would then be associated with a higher mortality rate in hospital and at D90 of discharge. The clinical evolution of post-resuscitation patients remains a little-studied subject. However, patients may present muscle dysfunctions in the longer term after a stay in intensive care. In our study, we demonstrated that less than half of patients recovered from diaphragmatic dysfunction on discharge from the critical care unit. In addition, Borges RC et al. found a significant decrease in the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris at discharge, compared with the same measurement taken at D+2 of admission to the critical care unit. Finally, the impact of muscle dysfunction on dyspnoea during sepsis and after its resolution is uncertain. Similarly, the impact of muscle dysfunction and dyspnoea on quality of life is unknown. Sepsis is associated with muscle dysfunction of multiple mechanisms. The aim of this study is to assess the immediate and longer-term impact of muscle dysfunction on muscle, dyspnea and quality of life in patients with abdominal sepsis ("Abdominal sepsis" group) and patients with extra-abdominal sepsis ("Extra-abdominal" group). Depending on the location of sepsis, this study will enable us to assess and potentially confirm the preferential effect of abdominal sepsis on diaphragm function.
This study is a multi-center, randomized, single-blind, parallel-group study to assess the efficacy and safety, when nacubactam is coadministered with cefepime or aztreonam, compared with best available therapy (BAT), in the treatment of patients with cUTI, AP, HABP, VABP, and cIAI, due to Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacterales.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effectiveness of Zavicefta once released into the markets in Korea. This study is to learn about Zavicefta in patients with difficult types of infections in the abdomen, urinary tract and pneumonia which could have come from hospitalizations. This study was required by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of Korea's regulations.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate regional ventilation distribution in patients admitted to the intensive care unit after emergent laparotomy due to abdominal sepsis. The main question it aims to answer is: • evaluate if patients admitted after an open abdomen strategy have a different regional ventilation distribution compared to patients in which abdomen is closed at the end of the procedure Participants will undergo non-invasive monitoring (esophageal pressure and electrical impedance tomography) and an blood gas analysis samples. Researchers will compare open abdomen group and closed abdomen group to see if the ventilation distribution pattern is different.
This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic performance of a novel mRNA diagnostic/prognostic classifier (interprets the expression of 29 host response mRNA biomarkers) from whole blood in adult patients presenting to emergency departments (ED) with suspected infection.
With the rapid development of intensive care medicine, the mortality of patients with sepsis has decreased over the past decade, but it is still the leading cause of death in intensive care unit (ICU). As an important immune and metabolic organ, the liver plays a crucial role in host defense against invading pathogens and endotoxins, as well as maintenance of metabolic and immunological homeostasis. Some studies indicate that sepsis-associated liver dysfunction (SALD) has a substantial impact on the severity and prognosis of sepsis. Intra-abdominal infections (IAI) are the second leading source of infection for sepsis after pneumonia in ICU, and are often related to high morbidity and mortality rates. Studies had found that the incidence of SALD in IAI patients was considerably higher than that of general population with sepsis. Moreover, the incidence of acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) in IAI patients was also much higher than that in sepsis patients with other site infections, as well as the degree of AGI was more serious according to guidelines proposed by the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) in 2012. IAI can directly cause AGI, and a subset of patients usually progress to increased intra-abdominal pressure, which further aggravates AGI. The pathogenesis of SALD remains unclear so far, and its mechanism is complicated and elusive. Nevertheless, the unique anatomical structure of the liver make it has close association with the gut, growing evidence indicates that the gut microbiota and related metabolites are related to several liver disease. In case of sepsis, gut microbiota disorder and low microbial diversity can cause severe liver injury. An important mechanism for this phenotype is the gut-liver axis, which refers to gut microbial metabolites and nutrients are transported to the liver through the portal vein and hepatic artery to maintain the healthy metabolism of liver. Therefore, we initially conducted a retrospective study to investigate the relationship between the occurrence of AGI and SALD among IAI patients. Subsequently, a prospective study was performed to analyze and compare the diversity and composition of gut microbiota in IAI patients with or without SALD, respectively, and the dynamic changes in the gut microbiota during the first week after ICU admission were also investigated.
