Filter by:Methods:Ten patients were enrolled in the study. Adipose derived-MSCs infusions were given (1x 106/ kg, on 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th days of therapy) together with Standard therapy. Before the MSCs applications, blood samples were collected for cytokine assessment (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10). The clinical and laboratory improvements were recorded and compared with control groups selected retrospectively.
Reducing the mortality and morbidity of sepsis is a worldwide priority for almost 20 years. Since an observational study in the NY state, which reported in-hospital mortality increased, associated with each supplemental hour to complete the sepsis bundle, SSC guidelines have decided in 2018 to recommend a short timeframe of 1-h to complete the sepsis bundle. This new recommendation is vividly debated due to a lack of evidences of its relevance. No trial has ever studied a sepsis intervention when applied as early as Emergency Department ED triage (newly recommended 1-h sepsis bundle consider time zero as time of ED triage). The aim of this trial is to demonstrate that the early implementation at ED triage of the 1-hour bundle by ED physicians improves in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis, and therefore provides the required robust evidence for the SSC guidance to enhance physicians and stakeholder adherence. This is a superiority, international multicenter, open trial with a stepped wedge randomisation. All centers will recruit adult emergency patients with suspicion of sepsis as defined by a suspicion of infection and suspicion of life threatening organ dysfunction (quick SOFA or SOFA ≥ 2, hypotension or hyperlactatemia). According to the center period, the management of sepsis patients will be based either following the current recommended 1-hour sepsis bundle (intervention group) or at the discretion of the treating ED physician as in current routine practice (control group). There is no intervention that is "added" by the research.
The study aims to evaluate the suitability of the SOFA score implemented by the Sepsis 3 guideline to detect sepsis in patients suffering from subrarachnoid hemorrhage.
There is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the critically ill patient population, with approximately 60% of patients found to be vitamin D deficient, (25(OH)D concentrations <20 ng/mL) and an additional 30% of patients being vitamin D insufficient, (25(OH)D = 20-30 ng/mL).Approximately 80% of sepsis/septic shock patients experience respiratory failure and require mechanical ventilation. Furthermore, several studies document that vitamin D deficiency could be associated with poor outcomes in critically ill patient.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether implementation of an ED Sepsis Tracking Sheet effects the percentage of goal-directed sepsis criteria met in a tertiary care academic Emergency Department.
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Mortality is high and survivors frequently suffer from long-term sequelae. Extracellular histones have been identified as essential mediators in the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock. These toxic molecules are released by damaged cells in response to infection and high extracellular levels can induce tissue injury and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Extracellular histones can be neutralized by complexation with the new candidate drug called M6229, a non-anticoagulant heparin, allowing the use of elevated dose levels relative to regular unfractionated heparin. This project aims at the roll-out of a first-in-man clinical study in sepsis patients evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of intravenously administered M6229 in subjects suffering from sepsis.
The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the barriers to care, evaluation, clinical practices, and outcomes for patients presenting with sepsis to hospitals in the Kilimanjaro Region of northern Tanzania. This will include an assessment of timing and selection of antimicrobials and administration and volume of intravenous fluids. The study also aims to characterize sepsis sub-types in the epidemiologic context of northern Tanzania using statistical clustering techniques of clinical variables and of host immune response patterns.
The literature unequivocally supports follow-up in the postpartum period post hospital discharge in hypertensive patients, compared to uncomplicated delivery follow-up recommendations of 4-6 weeks postpartum, leading to decreased morbidity and mortality, utilizing at-home blood pressure monitoring and virtual/telemedicine appointments. There is much evidence that telemedicine visits are equally, if not more effective, result in cost savings, and are generally preferred by patients, specifically when there is a risk of exposure for the patient and newborn, an appropriate factor to consider amidst the global Covid-19 pandemic. Maternal health and well-being have substantial links with cultural and racial factors. Black women are three times as likely to have morbid outcomes related to gestational complications, specifically hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Minority populations have historically displayed inferior access to care due to concerns related to transportation, healthcare insurance, or provider accessibility and distrust, resulting in diminished compliance with follow-up and negative health sequelae. Telemedicine follow-up within 10 days of delivery (48-72 hours after discharge) reduces readmission rates, increase access to- and compliance with care, and improve patient safety satisfaction, thus establishing feasibility. Home vital sign monitoring gives an increased volume of data points for providers to utilize in titrating antihypertensive medications to optimize blood pressure control, ultimately decreasing stroke and cardiovascular risk. Existing research lacks comprehension regarding specific cardiological impacts of labile postpartum blood pressures, however researchers inferentially hypothesize that poor blood pressure management in the postpartum period can have devastating long-term cardiological consequences. This QI project will demonstrate standardized programming for patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), which may potentially lead to increased compliance, satisfaction, and accessibility, resulting in improved long-term cardiovascular health in vulnerable populations. The American heart Association (AHA) and ACOG have established that HDP are associated with long-term cardiovascular disease, however obstetricians lack guidance on effective, evidence-based research for standardization of care, leading to subsequently disjointed medical management with much room for error in transitioning from obstetrician to internist or cardiologist. Thus, implementing and establishing feasibility of remote monitoring and follow-up while applying standardized algorithms and protocols for antihypertensive medication titration and management may provide support in addressing and eradicating these gaps. As such, this pilot project has massive prospective future applicability and benefit for a highly vulnerable population.
The study aims to evaluate the performance of NAVOY® Sepsis in predicting the sepsis risk in adult ICU patients. Data collection is performed via automatic retrieval from the electronic health record system to AlgoDx proprietary cloud service where it is analysed in a simulated environment.
