Glycocalyx Damage in Critically Ill Patients

Completed
Conditions
Critical Illness
Interventions
Device: PBR assessment
Registration Number
NCT03146585
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Hradec Kralove
Brief Summary

The hypothesis to be tested: GCX damage and its dynamics correlate to various patient related factors and to using organ-supporting measures. There is a correlation between length of organ support and GCX damage.

The aim of the study: Evaluation of the relationship between GCX damage and duration of various organ supporting measures.

Type of the study: Observational. Subjects: Adult patients admitted to ICU and requiring organ supporting therapy.

Sample size: We plan enrollment of 75 patients on invasive ventilatory support in the duration of least 5 days, 50 patients on renal supporting therapy lasting at least 5 days and 20 patients with target temperature management for neuroprotection.

Intervention: none Data to be recorded and analysed: Demographics, type of patients (trauma, post surgical, medical, after cardiac arrest), severity score - Apache II, SOFA, fluid balance, presence of delirium, clinical outcome, sublingual microcirculation by SDF imaging at time points: before or at the start of organ support, after 24 hours (day 1), day 3, 5, 7 and/or at discharge or before death, microcirculatory data, and Perfused Boundary Region.
