Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this observative, prospective study with cross-sectional design is to explore possible correlations/associations between microcirculation parameters and sublingual endothelial glycocalyx in sepsis. Therefore, 30 critically ill septic patients and 10 healthy controls were enrolled.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Correlations between Perfused Boundary Region (PBR) and Microvascular Flow Index (MFI) measured sublingually	Glycocalyx thickness will be measured with PBR (in µm) and MFI will be assessed in points. Possible correlations at a given timepoint will be explored (e.g. Spearman's Correlation).	During ICU stay, an average of 2 days after sepsis onset
Primary	Correlations between Perfused Boundary Region (PBR) and Proportion of Perfused Vessels (PPV) measured sublingually	Glycocalyx thickness will be measured with PBR (in µm) and PPV will be assessed in percentage. Possible correlations at a given timepoint will be explored (e.g. Spearman's Correlation).	During ICU stay, an average of 2 days after sepsis onset
Primary	Correlations between Perfused Boundary Region (PBR) and Perfused Vessel Density (PVD) measured sublingually	Glycocalyx thickness will be measured with PBR (in µm) and PVD will be assessed in mm/mm^2. Possible correlations at a given timepoint will be explored (e.g. Spearman's Correlation).	During ICU stay, an average of 2 days after sepsis onset
