Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Interleukin 6. Timepoint: While hospitalized in the ICU for 5 days, before and after of intervention. Method of measurement: Samples containing the biomarkers are transferred to a reference laboratory in an EDTA-containing test tube, and centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 15 minutes. The resulting plasma for measuring IL-6, TNF-a markers is stored by the researcher at minus 80 ° C. Quantitative determination is done by the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay method by Bendermed commercial kits.;Measurement of serum TNF_a before and after the intervention. Timepoint: During 5 days of admission in the ICU.
