Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Sepsis, Influence of Renal Replacement Therapy

Withdrawn
Conditions
Septic Shock
Severe Sepsis
Registration Number
NCT01926301
Lead Sponsor
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz
Brief Summary

The cerebrovascular autoregulation is impaired in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. A continuous veno-venous hemodialysis may improve impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation.

Hypothesis: continuous hemodialysis recovers impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation in patients with acute severe sepsis and septic shock.
