Active clinical trials for "Sepsis"

This is a prospective, observational study designed to examine the performance of biomarkers, molecular biological methods and other analysis in blood from patient with suspected sepsis in the Emergency department, as well as identidying novel sepsis endotypes. Around 1500 patients will be enrolled.

This is a multicenter, prospective, biomarker-result-blinded observational study evaluating immunoassay measurements of pancreatic stone protein (PSP) performed on Abionic's abioSCOPE device with the PSP assay on ICU patients at risk of sepsis as an aid in identifying sepsis.

This study evaluates the impact of aminoglycosides in hypotensive septic oncologic patients. In the oncologic patient population, sepsis is a major health concern due to high mortality rates and healthcare costs. Prior research shows aminoglycosides antibiotics are frequently used to treat sepsis, but their clinical impact in hypotensive oncology patients upon the progression of sepsis is not known.

Epicutaneo-caval catheters (ECCs) are widely used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). They are small catheters inserted via superficial veins of the limbs or scalp using direct vein visualization The pathogenic microorganisms colonized inside catheters can easily form a bacterial biofilm and eventually spread with blood flow which causes bloodstream infection. Many authors have studied the antibiotic-lock therapy (ALT) in which a high-dose antibiotic solution is dripped and maintained in the catheter cavity for a certain period and can dissolve the biofilm formed on the wall to reduce the colonization of the bacteria and kill the embedded bacteria.The aim of the study is to evaluate the patency of the Epicutaneo-caval catheter after its closure for 1 hour.

Gastrointestinal microbiome dysfunction has been demonstrated to be a culprit of various systemic dysfunctions in peripheries such as cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine and musculoskeletal systems. The topic of microbiome dysfunction after sepsis and trauma injury is understudied but may be responsible for persistent systemic inflammation clinically observed in sepsis and trauma survivors. Therefore, the objective of this project is to investigate the gut microbiome after acute phase of sepsis or severe trauma injury and compare it with 108 age-matched healthy population controls

The study was a retrospective, single-center clinical study. From all patients admitted to the emergency ICU during the period of 2013.1.1-2019.12.31, the investigators screened all patients who met the criteria of 1) ≤7 days from symptom onset to enrollment; 2) patients who also met the criteria of the presence of clinical infections and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score ≥2; and 3) met the exclusion criteria, and retrospectively collected coagulation indices of the patients before anticoagulation with or without the use of heparin or low molecular heparin, and recorded the worst values of coagulation function of patients before heparin were recorded, and the organ function, inflammatory response, immune indexes, and conversion rate of severe disease were observed, so as to investigate the role of conventional coagulation indexes (FDP, D-dimer) and thromboelastography in the early diagnosis of septicemia patients and to indicate the prognosis.

A observational study is conducting at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Zhejiang University from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2024. Patients with severe sepsis and treatment with Ceftazidime-Avibactam will be enrolled. Blood samples at different timepoints: 0 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours after the first time and the steady state concentration(more than 4 times drug administration) of drug administration will be collected to detect plasma drug concentrations of ceftazidime avibactam.

A long-term venous access is frequently required in patient management. Currently, it is ensured by using the long peripheral intravenous catheters (Midline) or peripheral inserted central catheters (PICC line). Either is inserted into a peripheral vein of the upper arm and extends to the distal axillary vein. If the indications for the two catheters can sometimes be debated, the Midline catheter seems to be more and more used. The complications related to the use of PICC lines have been well described in literature, whereas the comparison of the two catheter-related complications has been less analysed. The aim of this study is to compare the incidences of catheter-related bloodstream infections linked to PICCs and Midlines.

The purpose of this study was to quantify overall blood flow and renal cortical perfusion in patients with septic acute kidney injury (AKI) using ultrasound (US) Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).

Sepsis is an organ dysfunction syndrome caused by the host's immune response to infection, and is one of the common critical illnesses. However, sepsis remains the main threat to global health. Due to the high heterogeneity, the diagnosis of sepsis is difficult, and it is particularly important to find biomarkers that can predict changes in the patient's condition and prognosis. The purpose of this study is to collect patient blood samples for testing and identify biomarkers related to the prognosis of sepsis.
