Filter by:The PARENT study will examine platelet and endothelial associated proteins in preterm infants being investigated for late onset sepsis (LOS) to see if infants with fulminant sepsis can be prospectively identified using these markers
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) based sepsis screening and early warning protocol on the timing of early sepsis care in the Emergency Department (ED).
Since the introduction of sepsis bundles, there have been multiple published trials that have demonstrated a consistent, strong association between implementation of sepsis "bundles" (3-hour bundle) and improved survival. The current proposal is a Hybrid 2, pragmatic, cluster randomized clinical effectiveness/implementation trial evaluating mortality and respiratory failure-based outcomes, in patients admitted to the emergency department with sepsis, comparing the effectiveness of implementation of the hour-1 bundle to 3-hour bundle, while facilitating adherence to both bundles. In addition, 4 distinct sepsis phenotypes will be derived from routine clinical data to identify specific patient phenotypes that allow for a more precision-based application of sepsis bundles in future studies.
Breast milk contains many microorganisms including bacteria that are beneficial to health (probiotics), but also bacteria that are generally considered pathogenic. Several studies have described an increased risk of infections due to pathogenic germs in breast milk in premature newborns whose digestive system is immature and whose digestive flora is modified by repeated antibiotic treatments. However, a breastfed baby is better protected against infectious diseases than a bottle-fed baby. The objective of this study is to define the breast milk microbiota of infants with confirmed early or late neonatal bacterial infection compared to the breast milk microbiota of infants with no evidence of bacterial infection. For that purpose, an exploration will be performed using the principle of "Microbial Culturomics" and targeted metagenomics (16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing).
The aim of this study is to develop a faster, safer, and more accurate method for determining if a newborn has an infection. This study involves analyzing saliva for markers of infection and inflammation known as cytokines. We will analyze infant's saliva repeatedly for inflammatory biomarkers (cytokines) within the first 36 hours of their standard of care treatment. We hypothesize that levels of these cytokines will more quickly predict which babies are truly infected and which babies are not compared to the blood tests currently being used.
In this study, serum samples and alveolar lavage fluid from patients with sepsis complicated with ARDS were studied. The differential miRNAs of inflammatory exosomes in patients with sepsis lung injury were screened, and Sestrin2, HO-1 and PPARĪ³ proteins, oxidative stress and inflammatory indexes in serum and alveolar lavage fluid were measured simultaneously, to explore the relationship between HO-1, oxidative inflammatory indexes and metabolic indexes. These results provide an important reference for assisting the management of ARDS disease and predicting the adverse outcomes of sepsis patients with ARDS.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the drug alirocumab, which may lower cholesterol, can reduce the amount of inflammation caused by an infection that has caused either low blood pressure or difficulty breathing. Participants will be randomized to receive a single IV infusion of alirocumab or a placebo.
Phase I dose-escalation safety and feasibility of IV DNase I in ICU septic patients.
Evaluation of a novel therapy approach for severe sepsis patients. Subjects randomized into the treatment arm receive treatment with an immune cell perfusion system on top of standard care. This may contribute to the improvement of the impaired organ function of septic shock patients by assisting the impaired immune system (immune competence enhancement = ARTICE)
The aim of this study is to assess whether changes in the plethysmography variability index, during a tidal volume challenge, can reliably detect simultaneous changes in arterial blood pressure pulsatility, in patients hospitalized in intensive care unit. If results will be positive, this will allow the test to be performed even in the absence of an invasive arterial catheter.
