Brief Summary

New Onset Cardiac Arrhythmias in Septic Patients in Critical Care Setting, Predictors and Outcomes

Detailed Description

Sepsis is recently defined as life-threatening condition caused by dysregulated body response to infection leading to organ dysfunction and even death. Patients who are vulnerable to catch sepsis are those with immune-compromising diseases, old aged people and chronic medical condition such as diabetes, chronic kidney diseases or cancer. Sepsis is symptomized by fever or hypothermia, tachycardia, tachypnea. In critical care units, septic patient are predisposed to have different cardiovascular manifestation as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, hypotension, etc. . Many studies reported the association between atrial fibrillation and septic patients in critical care as a complication of sepsis; but data regarding factors and fates is still insufficient. So in this study we aim to observe critical ill patients with sepsis to assess and evaluate the predisposing factors leading to new onset of cardiac arrhythmia in septic patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Risk Factors of cardiac arrhythmias in septic patients in CU.	3 week from admission in CU	any medical condition precipitate the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmia
Fates of cardiac arrhythmia.	1 month from the primary endpoint	what complications will precipitate the arrhythmia or the recovery achievement

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The frequent type of arrhythmias.	2 years from starting collaboration	the most frequent type of cardiac arrhythmia
Mortality rate due to new onset arrhythmia.	2 years from starting collaboration	the number of deaths from the enrolled patients
