- Brief Summary
This study will describe the change of mitochondrial oxygen tension (mitoPO2) compared to traditional parameters of oxygenation and oxygen balance in the first 24 hours of septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit of an academic hospital. The mitoPO2 will be measured on prespecified measurement moments in the ICU. With each measurement moment, arterial and central venous blood gasses will be taken too.
- Detailed Description
Evidence is increasing that there is no clear parameter for tissue oxygenation in critically ill septic patients to guide resuscitation. New studies have shown the potential of protoporphyrin IX-triple state lifetime technique to measure mitochondrial oxygenation tension (mitoPO2) in vivo, which possibly is an early indicator of oxygen disbalance in the cell and therefore a physiological trigger for fluid therapy.
Objectives: 1. To describe mitoPO2 measurements in patients with sepsis who are about to receive fluid therapy 2. To describe the effects of fluid therapy and the associated change in mitoPO2 and change in other physiologic measures of tissue oxygenation and oxygen balance 3.To describe the association between mitoPO2 and vital organ (dis)functions and change of SOFA (Sequential organ failure assessment) score after 24hrs 5. To describe the microcirculatory, cellular and mitochondrial function during the first 24 hours of septic patients.
Study population: critically ill patients with sepsis which are admitted to the intensive care unit through the emergency department or hospital ward and in whom fluid therapy (crystalloid, albumin and red cell transfusion) is planned.
Main study endpoints
Primary endpoint: Change in mitoPO2 after fluid therapy. This will be compared to traditional parameters used to measure oxygenation and oxygen balance
Secondary endpoints:
* Association of mitoPO2 trend with separate (ischemic) organ (dis)function. The SOFA score after 24 hours will also be assessed.
* Safety of mitoPO2 measurements in critically ill septic patients.
* Description of the association of sepsis with microcirculatory function, cellular function and mitochondrial function.
* Description of the association between mitoPO2 change and clinical outcomes , like length of stay(both ICU and in-hospital) and mortality (both ICU and in-hospital).
Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- COMPLETED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 81
- Age of patient is at least 18 years
- Patients diagnosed with sepsis in the emergency department or hospital ward
- Patients are admitted to the ICU via the hospital ward or emergency department
- Informed consent is given either by the patient or if the patient is too ill to give informed consent, by his or her legal representative.
- Patients have an arterial catheter in situ, since blood samples will be taken for the study. Most patients admitted to the ICU have an arterial catheter in place since it is part of standard care.
- Patients younger than 18 years
- Patients with sepsis discharged after emergency department visit
- Patients admitted to a hospital ward other than the ICU after emergency department visit
- Patients who cannot give informed consent themselves and without a legal representative will be excluded since no informed consent can be obtained
- Patients known with porphyria and/or photodermatosis will be excluded, since the risk of phototoxicity
- Patients with hypersensitivity to the active substance or to the plaster material of ALA (5-aminolevulinic acid)
- Pregnant or breast feeding women since there is no adequate data form the use of ALA in pregnant or breast feeding women
- Insufficient comprehensibility of the Dutch language

Group Intervention Description Critically ill septic patients Protoporphyrin IX - Triplet State Lifetime Technique Cohort: patients admitted via the emergency department or hospital ward to the intensive care unit of Leiden University Medical Center with the diagnosis sepsis or septic shock, who receive fluid therapy (either colloid, crystalloid and/or red blood cell) in their first day of admission to the ICU.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change of mitoPO2 during first 24 hours of a septic patient 24 hours The primary endpoint is the change of mitoPO2(mitochondrial oxygenation) before and after fluid therapy in patients with sepsis. This will be compared to traditional parameters used to measure tissue oxygenation and oxygen balance (central venous oxygen saturation, mean arterial pressure and lactate).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Length of ICU stay 3 months Association of mitoPO2 change and length of intensive care unit-stay.
Length of hospital stay 3 months Association of mitoPO2 change and length of hospital stay.
In-hospital mortality 3 months Association of mitoPO2 change and in-hospital mortality.
SOFA (sequential organ failure assessment) score after 24 hours 24 hours The association of mitoPO2 change in 24 hours with the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score after 24 hours will be assessed. With the help of this information, more insight can be given in how much information the cutaneous mitoPO2 measurement gives about the organs separately and together.
ICU mortality 3 months Association of mitoPO2 change and intensive care unit mortality.
Organ (dis)function 24 hours To describe the association between mitoPO2 change and separate organ functions.
Validation of mitoPO2 measurement with blood based biomarkers of cellular function 24 hours Cellular function will be assessed with blood-based biomarkers mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), presence of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) molecules and glutathione (GSH) activity. Mitochondrial function will be assessed with mitoPO2 measurements.
Safety (incidence of adverse and serious adverse events) 24 hours The adverse and serious adverse events of the mitoPO2 measurements will be assessed.
