Filter by:Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Mortality is high and survivors frequently suffer from long-term sequelae. Extracellular histones have been identified as essential mediators in the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock. These toxic molecules are released by damaged cells in response to infection and high extracellular levels can induce tissue injury and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Extracellular histones can be neutralized by complexation with the new candidate drug called M6229, a non-anticoagulant heparin, allowing the use of elevated dose levels relative to regular unfractionated heparin. This project aims at the roll-out of a first-in-man clinical study in sepsis patients evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of intravenously administered M6229 in subjects suffering from sepsis.
Early identification of a patient with infection who may develop sepsis is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, this remains elusive because no single clinical measure or test can reflect complex pathophysiological changes in patients with sepsis. However, multiple clinical and laboratory parameters indicate impending sepsis and organ dysfunction. Screening tools using these parameters can help identify the condition, such as SIRS, quick SOFA (qSOFA), National Early Warning Score (NEWS), or Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS). The 2016 SCCM/ESICM task force recommended using qSOFA, while the 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign strongly recommended against its use compared with SIRS, NEWS, or MEWS as a single screening tool for sepsis or septic shock. We hypothesised that qSOFA has greater prognostic accuracy than SIRS and EWS (NEWS/NEWS2/MEWS).
This observational study prospectively collect data on chosen dosing, renal function, measured plasma concentrations and adherence to the recommended clinical protocl for ICU patients treated with continuous vancomycin infusion.
Anti-infective strategy is a major public health problem. This is a before-and-after study of an anti-infectious prescription tool with a comparison of mortality at 30 days (then 3 and 6 months) between the two inclusion phases of 6 months each.
The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the barriers to care, evaluation, clinical practices, and outcomes for patients presenting with sepsis to hospitals in the Kilimanjaro Region of northern Tanzania. This will include an assessment of timing and selection of antimicrobials and administration and volume of intravenous fluids. The study also aims to characterize sepsis sub-types in the epidemiologic context of northern Tanzania using statistical clustering techniques of clinical variables and of host immune response patterns.
The study aims to evaluate the performance of NAVOY® Sepsis in predicting the sepsis risk in adult ICU patients. Data collection is performed via automatic retrieval from the electronic health record system to AlgoDx proprietary cloud service where it is analysed in a simulated environment.
Compare the effect of volume expansion by saline versus albumin on the correction of peripheral tissue hypoperfusion by measuring Index skin recoloration time (CRT) at H0 and H1
Sepsis is one of the most common causes of acute illness and death in the United States. Early, empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics are a mainstay of sepsis treatment. Two classes of antibiotics with activity against Pseudomonas, anti-pseudomonal cephalosporins and anti-pseudomonal penicillins, are commonly used for acutely ill adults with sepsis in current practice. Recent observational studies, however, have raised concern that anti-pseudomonal penicillins may cause renal toxicity. Anti-pseudomonal cephalosporins, by comparison, may be associated with a risk of neurotoxicity. Rigorous, prospective data regarding the comparative effectiveness and toxicity of these two classes of medications among acutely ill patients are lacking. The investigator propose a randomized trial comparing the impact of anti-pseudomonal cephalosporins and anti-pseudomonal penicillins on renal outcomes of acutely ill patients.
This study aimed to compare simulation training with conventional training (case-based discussion only) to improve team performance in implementing one-hour sepsis bundle in the intensive care unit
This is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, open-labeled, feasibility trial investigating volumes of fluid within 24 hours in 124 patients with sepsis allocated to two different IV fluid regimens enrolled at three emergency departments in Central Region Denmark. The primary outcome is total intravenous, crystalloid fluid volume within 24 hours and key secondary outcomes include protocol violations, total fluids (intravenous and oral) within 24 hours, SAEs/SUSARs, and inhospital-, 30- and 90-day mortality.
