Filter by:This is a research study to determine if a particular method of providing nutrition improves the clinical outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have undergone abdominal surgery and would require nutrition delivered via the bloodstream (called total parenteral nutrition or TPN). The nutrition method we are testing is a structured nutrition delivery plan that involves tube feeding, oral nutrition supplements, and the use of a device (called an indirect calorimeter or IC) to measure calorie needs. This study will also use two devices to measure fat and muscle mass to examine changes during hospitalization. Subjects will be followed throughout hospitalization where nutrition status and fat and muscle mass will be closely monitored. Study activities will begin within 72 hours of a patient's abdominal surgery. TPN (total parenteral nutrition, a method of feeding that bypasses the usual process of eating and digestion) will be started, a non-invasive method of assessing calorie needs (indirect calorimetry (IC)) will be started, a urine sample will be collected to help assist in protein needs, and fat/muscle mass will be measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and an ultrasound. This is a minimal risk study and all products/devices used are non-invasive and FDA-approved. Indirect calorimetry and urine sample collection will be conducted every 3 days during the stay in the Intensive Care Unit - ICU, then every 5 days until hospital discharge. BIA and muscle ultrasound will be conducted every 7 days during ICU stay, then every 14 days until hospital discharge.
there is high mortality rate of sepsis, 36% in 90-days of sepsis in China, and there is no effective treatment. Immunosuppression mediated by sepsis is an important cause of death in patients. Treg cells are important immunomodulatory cell. Treg's over-differentiation is involved in the development of sepsis induced immunosuppression. In sepsis patients, the expression of PD-1、CTLA-4 and TIGIT on Treg cell surface increased, and Treg cells with high expression of co-inhibitory molecules showed stronger immunosuppressive characteristics. MiR-155-5p is an unencoded RNA transcript from a proto-oncogene B cell integration cluster. In sepsis, the expression of miR-155 increased in peripheral blood and correlated with the patient's prognosis. Recent studies have shown that miR-155-5p promotes co-inhibitory molecules expressed on T cells in LCMV infected animal models. However, the relationship between the expression of peripheral blood miR-155-5p in sepsis patients and the expression of co-inhibitory molecules on Treg cell surface is not clear.
Comparison of Microcirculation Indexes and Hemodynamic Indexes to Guide Resuscitation in Patients With Septic Shock
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate, among patients with non-complicated CR-BSIs due to S. aureus, that a single-dose of intravenous (IV) dalbavancin 1500 mg is non-inferior to standard documented antibiotic therapy for 14 days according to national guidelines at DAY 30 (Long follow up visit). As the secondary objectives, the study aims to evaluate according to treatment group: 1. Cure rate at DAY 14 and DAY 90 (EOS); 2. Mortality rate within 90 days of follow-up; 3. Time to negativation of blood cultures; 4. Patient's quality of life; 5. Hospitalization length of stay; 6. Cost-utility analyses; 7. Occurrence of any adverse event (AE and SAE), until Day 90 (EOS).
Adverse outcomes in surgical sepsis patients are secondary to dysregulated emergency myelopoiesis, and expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Here we propose to determine the underlying mechanisms behind the increased expansion of these leukocyte populations and the underlying mechanisms that drive inflammation and immune suppression.
Preoperative sepsis timeline, profile and its association with recipient outcome following live donor liver transplant.
Burden: The global burden of sepsis is difficult to ascertain, although a recent scientific publication estimated that in 2017 there were 48.9 million cases and 11 million sepsis-related deaths worldwide, which accounted for almost 20% of all global deaths. Recent chart analysis from Dhaka Hospital, icddrb recorded 350 adults with severe sepsis admitted over four years. Among them, 69% of patients progressed to septic shock. Knowledge gap: Clinical features of shock due to sepsis and shock due to severe dehydration are very intertwining and often predicament for critical care physicians. If not recognized early and managed promptly, it can lead to septic shock, multiple organ failure, and eventually death. Serum lactate may play a role as the point of care test in differentiating shock due to severe sepsis from shock due to severe dehydration. Relevance: Being the largest diarrhoeal disease hospital, the Dhaka Hospital of icddr,b is ideal for researching shock with diarrheal diseases. Even though the onset of sepsis can be acute and poses a short-term mortality burden, it can also cause significant long-term morbidity, requiring treatment and support. Thus, addressing sepsis and severe sepsis by early detection and prompt management should be a comprehensive way to reduce the burden in our community.
The purpose of the program. Formulation of new treatments for heart and pulmonary failure through using organ-replacing technologies. Formulation of a clinical protocol and implementation of treatment methods into clinical practice heart and pulmonary failure using organ-replacing technologies. New methods were created for rehabilitating the function of affected organs after implantation of the LVAD, a total artificial heart, an extracorporeal life-sustaining system will be of great importance, both for Kazakhstan and for states with similar problems of donor organ deficiency, will also improve the effectiveness of surgical treatment and reduce the level of complications and mortality of patients on the extracorporeal life-sustaining system and septic patients.
Sepsis is a vital issue in critical care medicine, and early detection and intervention are key to survival. We aimed to establish an early warning system for sepsis based on a data integration platform that can be implemented in the ICU.
Capnodynamic monitoring has the potential to offer continuous and non-invasive measurements of heart and lung function in patients requiring ventilation in an intensive care setting. Since mechanical ventilation with full patient synchronization is commonly used in ICU, capnodynamic monitoring can be immediately embedded in clinical care and compared to current methods of monitoring cardiac output, lung volumes and oxygen delivery. This observational study will explore capnodynamic monitoring in mechanically ventilated patients with a range of cardiorespiratory compromise.
