Evaluation of Lipid Emulsion on GCX in Critically Ill Patients

Completed
Conditions
Endothelial Dysfunction
Interventions
Device: Sublingual microcirculation assessment
Registration Number
NCT03216850
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Hradec Kralove
Brief Summary

Characterisation of the lipidome and parenteral nutrition modulate the endothelial glycocalyx.

The aim of the study A is to detect any influence of the lipid emulsion on the endothelial glycocalyx in patients in critical care. The targeted cohort is patients on ICU with an indication for parenteral nutrition including lipid emulsion. 15 patients are planned to be enrolled.

Monitored variables: demographic data, type of the population, type of the lipid emulsion, selected variables of the lipid metabolism, sublingual microcirculation (SDF imaging),

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Endothelial Glycocalyx ThicknessOne week within the ICU care

Endothelial glycocalyx thickness was measured indirectly by PBR, which is a lateral movement of the red blood cells from the median column in the microcirculation in micrometers. The higher the PBR is the more damaged the endothelial glycocalyx is.
