The Prognostic Assessment of Extubation in Aged Patients With Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome...
Multiple Organ Dysfunction SyndromeThe multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) has remained the major factor contributing to prolongation of intensive and mortality. It is reported that the mortality rates have varied between 20% and 100%, depending on number, severity, duration, type and combination, and definition of dysfunction. In our study, the investigators explore some comprehensive treatment technology to improved outcomes of MODS patients.
Microcirculatory Alteration and Biomarkers: New Approach for Early Assessment of Septic Multi-organ...
SepsisMultiple Organ FailureThe aim of this study is to investigate associations between early structural cellular injury and microvascular alteration with progression of septic organ dysfunction according to total SOFA-Score (an ICU-scoring system - the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score). Patients will be monitored for renal (TIMP-2, IGFBP7), and intestinal biomarkers (plasma i-FABP) in conjunction with kidney and muscle vascular bed microvascular perfusion analysis assessed by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). In parallel, a comprehensive analysis of patients' immunological status will be conducted using an established, on-site immune monitoring panel. The ultimate goal of this study is an early identification of septic patients developing multiorgan dysfunction which may facilitate a timely novel intervention in the future to improve outcome.
