Filter by:Severe sepsis and septic shock remain the leading causes of child mortality worldwide. Sepsis is a complex process that ultimately leads to circulation disorders, organ perfusion abnormalities, capillary leakage, tissue hypoxia, and organ failure. The difficulty of clinical treatment is microcirculation and mitochondrial dysfunction in septic shock. Once shock enters the stage of microcirculation failure, conventional treatment is ineffective. ECMO can effectively support the circulatory system and provide good oxygen delivery, but there are many controversies in clinical treatment. 1) whether ECMO can effectively improve the clinical prognosis of children with septic shock; 2) appropriate timing for ECMO intervention; 3) which key clinical factors affect the effect of ECMO treatment. This study intends to adopt a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized controlled trial design, and the main research hypothesis is whether ECMO treatment can improve the success of discharge survival of children with septic shock.
Long-term cognitive dysfunction greatly influences patient's quality of life after critical illness. However,its neurophysiological basis remains unknown.This is a 3 year fMRI study conducted at the Jiangyin people's Hospital. This study utilize resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to investigate the regional alterations in survivors with cognitive impairment.Further, the investigators hypothesize that these regional changes in fMRI activity are predictive of cognitive impairment.
Caretaker vs. Blood Pressure Monitoring With Invasive Arterial Pressure Monitoring in Patients With Septic Shock
This study evaluates the association between plasmatic levels of Mid Regional Proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and the sublingual microcirculation in critical care patients admitted with infection, sepsis or septic shock.
In this prospective, single-center,randomized,controlled,single-blind clinical trial,Patients will be randomly assigned to receive granisetron or placebo for 4 days or until leaving the ICU(death or transfer from ICU to general ward or discharge). The primary outcome is all-cause death rate at 28 days.
The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) during septic shock is frequent and is associated with a high mortality rate. The reason of this increased mortality despite the use of renal replacement therapy is still unknown. The deleterious effects of uremic toxins (solutes accumulating with the loss of kidney function) has risen for the last decade in chronic kidney disease patients. Among those solutes, indoxyl sulfate (IS) is associated with the development of cardiovascular complications and impairment of immune response. The role of uremic toxins and particularly IS in the prognostic of septic kidney injury is unknown. The investigators propose to analyze the relation between the serum concentration of IS and the mortality of patients hospitalized for a septic shock who developed an AKI.
This is a retrospective chart review that will measure the impact on outcomes in septic shock patients who were resuscitated with a novel combination of medicines called iHAT (intravenous hydrocortisone -ascorbic acid-thiamine). Septic shock patients treated with this combination of drugs over the past two years will be compared with similar, concurrent septic shock patients who were not treated with this drug given that adoption of this therapy has been variable.
1. Assess the impact of midodrine administration on weaning of IV vasopressors 2. Assess the cost effectiveness of using midodrine in critically ill patients
Prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label study of standard of care plus the PMX cartridge versus standard of care alone in patients with endotoxemic septic shock
Prospective single centre study to assess the feasibility of fluid resuscitation guided by macrocirculatory and microcirculation parameters in patients in the early stages of septic shock. The investigators will utilise a novel point of care tool to assess microcirculatory sublingual perfusion in patients with septic shock. This, in combination with conventional haemodynamic monitoring will determine the timing and volume of resuscitative fluid administration. The feasibility of this technique will be determined prior to embarking on a pilot RCT.
