Filter by:Sepsis is a complex syndrome that causes lethal organ dysfunction due to an abnormal host response to infection. No drug specifically targeting sepsis has been approved. The heterogeneity in sepsis pathophysiology hinders the identification of patients who would benefit, or be harmed, from specific therapeutic interventions. Recent clinical genomics studies have shown that sepsis patients can be stratified as molecular endotypes, or subclasses, with important clinical implications. Classifying sepsis patients as molecular endotypes revealed that a poor prognosis endotype was characterized by immunosuppression and septic shock. Against this backdrop, the study hypothesis is that a poor prognosis for sepsis is defined by a molecular endotype reflecting impaired innate immune and endothelial barrier integrity in the primary anatomical site of infection.
Before birth, the baby's lungs are filled with fluid and babies do not use the lungs to breathe, as the oxygen comes from the placenta. As delivery approaches, the lungs begin to absorb the fluid. After vaginal delivery, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut after a delay that allows some of the blood in the umbilical cord and placenta to flow back into the baby. Meanwhile, as the baby breathes for the first time, the lungs fill with air and more fluid is pushed out. However, it does not always work out that way. A baby born prematurely may have breathing problems because of extra fluid staying in the lungs related to the immaturity of the lung structure. Thus, the baby must breathe quicker and harder to get enough oxygen enter into the lungs. The newborn is separated from the mother to provide emergency respiratory support. Although the baby is usually getting better within one or two days, the treatment requires close monitoring, breathing help, and nutritional help as the baby is too tired to suck and swallow milk. Sometimes, the baby cannot recover well and show greater trouble breathing needing intensive care. This further separates the mother and her baby. A possible mean to help the baby to adapt better after a premature birth while staying close to the mother is to delay cord clamping when efficient breathing is established, either spontaneously or after receiving breathing help at birth. In this study, we intend to test this procedure in moderate or late preterm infants and see whether the technique helps the baby to better adapt after birth and to better initiate a deep bond with the mother.
In order to clarify the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture on inhibiting systemic inflammatory response, improving respiratory mechanics parameters and prognosis in patients with sepsis-related ARDS.
The goal of this study is to create a computer simulation of patients with bloodstream infection to understand how changes in healthcare policies and resources affect patient treatment. This simulation will help doctors and health-care decision makers make better choices in treating these patients and avoid overusing antibiotics that can lead to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is when bacteria can't be killed by antibiotics anymore. Participants will not receive treatments as this is an observational study, but the study will involve: - Interviews with healthcare staff to understand patient care pathways. - Analysis of historical data on bacteria causing infections and antibiotic treatments. - A 30-day observational study to observe patient treatment for bloodstream infections.
This study is intended to clinically verify Monocyte Distribution Width (MDW) parameter of DxH 900 Hematology Analyzer for use in early detection and risk assessment of sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock in critically ill patients in Emergency Department (ED). This study is also aimed to provide study supporting data for the product to be marketed in China.
Patients in the Intensive Cardiovascular Care Unit (ICCU) often present with cardiovascular disease (CVD) issues accompanied by various non-cardiovascular conditions. However, a widely applicable scoring system to predict patient outcomes in the ICCU is lacking. Therefore, developing and validating scores for predicting ICCU patient outcomes are warranted. The aims of the IndONEsia ICCU (One ICCU) registry include developing an epidemiological registry of ICCU patients and establishing a multicentre research network to analyse patient outcomes.This nationwide multicenter cohort will capture data from patients receiving cardiovascular critical care treatment in 10 Indonesian hospitals with ICCU facilities. Recorded data will encompass demographic characteristics, physical examination findings at hospital and ICCU admission, diagnoses at ICCU admission, therapy, intervention, complications on days 3 and 5 of in-ICCU care, in-hospital outcomes, and 30-day outcomes. The One ICCU is a large, prospective registry describing the care process and advancing clinical knowledge in ICCU patients. It will serve as an investigational platform for predicting the mortality of ICCU patients.
The object of the scientific research is the characterization of the pharmacokinetic profile and the investigation of factors of pharmacokinetic variability of amikacin and vacnomycin in critically ill patients with a diagnosis of sepsis-like condition (SIRS), hospital-acquired sepsis and/or septic shock and who are on extracorporeal therapy with Cytosorb® and Oxiris® adsorbents.
Catheter dysfunction and infections are the most common complications observed among patients with dialysis catheters for long-term dialysis ( CDLD ) . They are causing a worsening of the morbidity and mortality of patients , loss of quality of renal replacement therapy , a reduction in the duration of catheterization , as well as increased spending related to health care. The use of anti- reflux ( Tego ® , ICU Medical , USA, distributed by the Laboratory Hemotech , FRANCE ) valves reduces the rate of dysfunction and infections CDLD( catheters for long-term dialysis ). Unpublished preliminary data suggest that these valves allow parallel use of interdialytic saline locks without increasing the risk of dysfunction. This strategy would therefore achieve significant savings usual interdialytic CDLD( catheters for long-term dialysis )locks ( including heparin) whose use is not devoid of potentially serious adverse events and whose health care costs have increased dramatically in recent years . Moreover, this would also produce savings in fibrinolytic treatment. A randomized controlled trial is needed to assess the effectiveness of TEGO ® valves in combination with saline locks on the risk of dysfunction CDLD(catheters for long-term dialysis ) .
The current project was designed to examine the effects of BCAA metabolic dysfunction on cardiac function in septic patients.
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, if not recognized early and managed promptly, it can lead to septic shock, multiple organ failure and death. Sepsis is associated with high mortality, and the early recognition of the signs of tissue hypo perfusion is crucial in its management. This prospective study was aimed to detect that PCO2 gap can be taken as a reliable prognostic tool in septic patients
