Filter by:Subjects previously enrolled / randomized in the ReActIF-ICE (Recovery from acute immune failure in septic shock by immune cell extracorporeal terapy - immune competence enhancement) study received either standard sepsis treatment (control group) or standard sepsis treatment and additionally the ARTICE treatment (treatment group) during their index hospitalization. All subjects are followed up for 90 days after enrollment. In this long term follow up study, the enrolled subjects shall be followed up beyond 90 days for up to 5 years.
The study will enhance the theory in the frame of reference on the efficacy of Ulinastatin while managing sepsis and subsequent morbidity and mortality. Moreover, the present study will explore Ulinastatin's prophylactic role in progression of multiple organ dysfunctions. Furthermore, the study will have the clinical implications in predicting the ICU admitted patient's stay and related cost in the context of new drug. Current researches will explore the new dimensions in Pakistan's healthcare facilities, paving the way of future academics to analyze it in order to enhance healthcare outcomes.
Symphony IL-6 is a device that quantitates human IL-6 by fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (FEIA) from whole-blood specimens. Use of Symphony IL- 6 removes the need for plasma separation before testing. Symphony IL-6 comprises two components, the Symphony Fluorescence Immunoanalyzer and the Symphony IL-6 Cartridge. Whole blood is added to the cartridge and then up to six cartridges can be inserted into the immunoanalyzer. After 20 minutes a readout and printout are given with a quantitative IL-6 concentration. The used cartridges are fully enclosed and can be easily disposed of in general hospital bio-waste. Given the nature of this device and its portability, there is potential for future deployment in a near patient setting. This study is to establish an interleukin-6 (IL-6) cutoff value using the Symphony IL-6 test for patients at high risk of severe sepsis caused by a COVID-19 and/or influenza infection.
A observational study is conducting at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Zhejiang University from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2024. Patients with severe sepsis and treatment with Ceftazidime-Avibactam will be enrolled. Blood samples at different timepoints: 0 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours after the first time and the steady state concentration(more than 4 times drug administration) of drug administration will be collected to detect plasma drug concentrations of ceftazidime avibactam.
The study aims to investigate clinically and prognostically relevant parameters in patients with sepsis and septic shock within a monocentric observational clinical register.

This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the combination of PCR and CRISPR/Cas12a in alveolar lavage fluid for early targeted anti-infective therapy for patients with severe pneumonia. Hosted by the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical College, 5 adult ICU units participate in 3 hospitals. All patients are randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. For experimental group, the combined detection of PCR and CRISPR/Cas12a in the alveolar lavage fluid was carried out in the early stage, and the antibiotic scheme is changed base on the results of PCR-CRISPR/Cas12a.The patients in the control group were adjusted according to the traditional microbial detection methods. The types of early antibiotics, the proportion of target antibiotics, the duration of anti-infective treatment, the length of hospital stay in ICU, the mortality rate, the secondary antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and the incidence of new multidrug-resistant infections were recorded.
Machine learning is a powerful method to create clinical decision support (CDS) tools, when training labels reflect the desired alert behavior. In our Phase I work for this project, we developed HindSight, an encoding software that was designed to examine discharged patients' electronic health records (EHRs), identify clinicians' sepsis treatment decisions and patient outcomes, and pass those labeled outcomes and treatment decisions to an online algorithm for retraining of our machine-learning-based CDS tool for real-time sepsis alert notification, InSight. HindSight improved the performance of InSight sepsis alerts in retrospective work. In this study, we propose to assess the clinical utility of HindSight by conducting a multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) for more accurate sepsis alerts.
Severe sepsis and septic shock are the most severe forms of sepsis (which associates a systemic inflammatory response with infection). These are serious pathologies with a lethality estimated at almost 40% at 28 days (after the onset of sepsis). After a first pro-inflammatory phase, a second compensatory phase called Compensatory Anti-Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CARS) takes place quickly. Patients then show signs of immunosuppression and profound alterations in immune functions. It is during this phase that the vast majority of deaths occur, far from the onset of the shock, which is related to the inability of the immune system to eliminate the initial infectious agent and / or a greater susceptibility Important to develop secondary infections (nosocomial infection, latent virus reactivation ...). The CARS phase has been the subject of studies focusing on measuring the plasma concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokines (such as Interleukin (IL) -10), the percentage of regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg), Or the percentage of monocytic expression of HLA-DR in septic patients. The investigator proposes to carry out the first study on a newly described regulatory lymphocytic subpopulation: regulatory B lymphocytes (Breg) from a quantitative and functional point of view in severe septic states.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of a short course antimicrobial therapy (5-days) versus a 10-days therapy on sepsis-related organ dysfunction.
