Usefulness of Capillary Refill Time and Skin Mottling Score to Predict Intensive Care Unit Admission — TRCMARBSAU  

Shock, Septic Clinical Trial

Official title: Contribution of Capillary Refilling Time and Skin Mottling Score to Predict Intensive Care Unit Admission of Patients With Septic or Haemorrhagic Shock Admitted to the Emergency Department

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In the emergency department (ED), the severity assessment of shock is a fundamental step prior to the admission in intensive care unit (ICU). As biomarkers are time consuming to evaluate severity of the micro and macro-circulation alteration, capillary refill time and skin mottling score are 2 simples, available clinical criteria validated to predict mortality in the ICU.

The aim of this study is to provide clinical evidence that capillary refill time and skin mottling score assessed in the ED also predict ICU admission of patients with septic or haemorrhagic shock.

Clinical Trial Description

This trial is an observational, non-randomized controlled study. A total of 1500 patients admitted to the ED for a septic or hemorrhagic shock will be followed.

The primary outcome is the admission to the ICU.

The study will not impact the treatments provided to each patient. Capillary refill time and skin mottling score will not be taken into account to decide patient's treatments and/or ICU admission. Patients will be followed during their hospital stay in order to precise their destination after ED (home, ICU, ward) and 28- and 90-days mortality after hospital admission. ;
