About this trial

This is an interventional screening trial for Sepsis focused on measuring Passive leg raise, Fluid responsiveness, Cardiac output, non-invasive, Emergency Department

Eligibility Criteria

16 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

At presentation in the ED:

  • there has to be evidence of an infection: -temp <36 or >38 without an obvious cause for hypo-or hyperthermia
  • There has to be evidence of organ dysfunction by the presence of at least one of the following criteria: altered mental state, hypoxia (spo2<94% or 5% lower than baseline), lactate >2 mmol/l in ABGA or VBGA directly drawn after presentation, hypotension (MAP<65 mmHg or SBP<100mmHg), or a respiratory rate>22/min.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age<16
  • Patients with septic shock (i.e. who remained hypotensive after fluid bolus administration, needing vasopressor therapy to obtain a MAP>65 in the presence of a lactate >2. (i.e. septic shock) These will be excluded afterwards, but will be shown in an inclusion flowchart.
  • Subjects for whom it is impossible to obtain a reliable signal for Clearsight measurements.
  • Increased abdominal pressures
  • Need for immediate ventilatory support or surgery
  • Presence of an acute cerebral event, acute coronary syndrome, acute pulmonary edema, status asthmaticus, active gastrointestinal bleed, trauma
  • Known metastatic cancer
  • Pregnancy

PLR & Clearsight measurements

Arm Description

All patients 16years or older presenting to the ED with uncomplicated sepsis (see inclusion and exclusion criteria) will undergo a Passive Leg Raise (PLR, non-invasive) and multiple measurements by the Clearsight non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system. Followed by a fluid challenge (common practice; non interventional)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The percentage of subjects in whom a passive leg raise test resulted in a 15% or more improvement in cardiac index measured by the Clearsight non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system.
3 baseline readings will be done for CI separated by one minute intervals. Subsequently, the standardized passive leg-raise test will be performed and measurements of CI will be repeated at 30, 60, 90 and 120 seconds. Then the patient is repositioned to his original position, and after two minutes another reading of CI is done. A difference of 15% or more is found to be clinically significant.

Secondary Outcome Measures

The ability of non-invasively measured baseline CO, CI, SVR and SV to predict fluid-responsiveness correctly (measurements by the Clearsight non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system).
3 baseline readings will be done for CO, CI, SV and SVR, separated by one minute intervals. Subsequently, the standardized passive leg-raise test will be performed and measurements of CO, CI, SV and SVR will be repeated at 30, 60, 90 and 120 seconds. Then the patient is repositioned to his original position, and after two minutes another reading of CO, CI, SV and SVR is done. Then all patients will receive a fluid challenge of 500cc natriumchloride 0.9% IV, considered as normal treatment/ common practice in our ED. 120 seconds after finishing the fluid challenge the final reading of CO, CI, SV and SVR is done.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Little is known about the optimal fluid therapy of patients with uncomplicated sepsis. Most recommendations are extrapolated from studies performed in patients with septic shock. Therefore, it is unknown how effective our current fluid therapy is. Furthermore, current therapy is not tailored to individual needs. The aim of the current study is to investigate the added value of non-invasive measurements of (dynamic) circulatory parameters in the treatment of a convenience sample of sepsis patients presenting to the ED.

Intervention Name(s)
Passive leg raise (PLR)
Intervention Description
A PLR will simulate an autotransfusion of 250-300 cc. 1. Starting in semi-succumbed position (45 degree head-up) 2. PLR is performed by lowering head-end and putting a for this purpose designed device of 45 degrees under the patients legs. The PLR is non-invasive.
