Filter by:Septic shock is a subset of sepsis characterized by a decrease in vascular tone, which contributes to impaired regional blood flow distribution, and leads to organic failure. Besides intravenous fluids and adequate antimicrobial therapy, patients with septic shock require vasopressor support, which can lead to many adverse effects, therefore, non-vasopressor agents that can improve hemodynamic status are needed. In this randomized controlled-study, the investigators will address the efficacy and safety of infusion with methylene blue in patients with septic shock.
Biomarkers that provide an early indicator of kidney stress could be useful in clinical practice to detect silent episodes of acute kidney injury (AKI) or for early identification of subjects at risk of AKI. Two urinary biomarkers have been identified as early indicators of AKI. The NephroCheck® test is a commercially available test that uses these biomarkers, and this study assesses the use of these in reducing negative clinical outcomes for patients with sepsis-associated AKI. The study will enroll subjects diagnosed with sepsis, including septic shock, who will be randomly assigned to either receive NephroCheck®-guided kidney-sparing and fast-tracking interventions; or to receive current Standard of Care assessment and treatment. NOTE: Participants are no longer being recruited to this study.
The high ratio of "central venous to arterial carbon dioxide" to "arterial to central venous oxygen content " is associated with elevated lactate in patients with septic shock. So, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the ratio of "central venous-to-arterial CO2 tension or content" to "arterial-to-venous O2 content'' as an indicator of anaerobic metabolism in septic shock.
This is a single center, prospective, biomarker-result-blinded observational study evaluating immunoassay measurements of pancreatic stone protein (PSP) performed on Abionic's abioSCOPE device with the PSP assay on generally healthy adults representative of the US population.
Randomized, controlled, prospective trial, including ICU patients with Sepsis or septic Shock, at the early phase. patients will be randomized in 2 groups regarding the hemodynamic management and catecholamin doses: - Group 1: standard hemodynamic goals and catecholamin infusion to achieve: mean arterial pressure > or equal to 65 mmHg and diastolic arterial pressure > ou equal to 50 mmHg within the first 60 minutes. - Group 2: personalized hemodynamic goals and catecholamin infusion until normal transcranial doppler: IP<1,2.
The MostCare system, thanks to the Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM; Vygon, Padua, Italy), provides new hemodynamic parameters of the cardiovascular system. The PRAM method is a noncalibrated pulse contour method which requires only an arterial line (radial or femoral). This method has been validated in various clinical conditions. Among the collected parameters, some are well known and used daily care in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), i.e. cardiac output (CO), arterial pressure, heart rate, stroke volume (SV). Others such as arterial elastance (Ea) or dicrotic pressure are more recent and merit further investigation to determine their interest in clinical practice. To date, it is rarely used to adapt therapies, mostly because of a lack of knowledge regarding the evolution of these parameters. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between the evolution of Arterial Elastance and fluid responsiveness after a 250 mL fluid challenge of crystalloids in 5 minutes in patients with either septic shock or in the postoperative course of a major vascular surgery. Patients will be considered fluid responders if an increase >10% of the stroke volume is observed .
Fluid resuscitation is an important treatment in septic shock patients, however whether crystalloid composition affects septic shock patients outcomes remains unclear. According to previous studies, low-chlorine crystalloids could significantly reduce the incidence of kidney injury and 30-day mortality compared with high-chlorine crystalloids in critically ill adults. Therefore, we hypothesized that the use of low-chlorine crystalloids would result in a lower incidence of major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE 30: overall incidence of death, new renal-replacement therapy, and persistent renal dysfunction) than high-chlorine crystalloids in septic shock adults.
Prospective, observational, clinical investigation of PMX cartridge use in COVID 19 patients with septic shock
Norepinephrine was recommended as the first vasopressor for septic shock resuscitation. For the patient who did not response to high dose norepinephrine, epinephrine was recommended. Vasopressin was also recommended as an alternative vasopressor, in case patient did not response to norepinephrine and or epinephrine. Terlipressin, a selective V1 receptor binding with long half life, was reported that it main action is to increase blood pressure via the different mechanism from norepinephrine and epinephrine. To use terlipressin, combine with norepinephrine and or epinephrine among refractory septic shock, could decrease the usage dose of norepinephrine and epinephrine as well as lower the side effects of too high adrenergic stimuli.
QuantiFERON Monitor® is an immunological test evaluating the nonspecific cellular response by measuring interferon gamma (IFNγ) secretions after T-cell and natural killer lymphocyte stimulation. This study aims at evaluating sepsis-induced immunosuppression base on QuantiFERON Monitor® in patients presenting to the intensive care unit for septic shock. The sponsor expects to identify sepsis-induced immunodeficiency in patients through a better understanding of cellular and adaptive immune responses.
