研究概览
简要总结
Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are naturally-abundant isotopes in exhaled breath carbon dioxide. The ratio of carbon-13 to carbon-12 in exhaled breath is known as the breath delta value (BDV). This study is seeking to determine if the breath delta value of critically ill adults is an early indicator of the onset of infection that may lead to sepsis.
详细描述
Sepsis is a major complication for any patient, and its management is an acknowledged challenge for intensivists. Sepsis has unpredictable onset and progression, and is a leading cause of death in ICUs with a mortality rate of 30-50%. Annually in the US, 1.4M cases involve hospitalization, 750,000 cases of severe sepsis or septic shock, and ~260,000 cases of sepsis related death have been reported in recent years. Current experience of UF Health investigators in surgical ICUs is 1 -2 sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock patients per day, of which ~10% are trauma patients. Of trauma patients, ~8% develop sepsis during their ICU stay.
Breath delta value is hypothesized to be a biomarker of infection. Breath delta value is not a defined clinical outcome related to human health, because this study is seeking to establish breath delta value as a biomarker of infection. This study is measuring the feasibility of the Isomark Canary™ device. If the Canary does not detect a significant decrease in breath delta value in those subjects who subsequently get an infection, it will not be feasible to use it for this purpose.
Breath delta value will be collected to determine its relationship to infection, no health outcomes are being measured.
This study is designed to determine if the BDV of adult ICU patients is an early indicator of the onset of infection that may lead to sepsis.
The objectives of this study are: (1) to measure variation of BDV with time in adult ICU patients who agree to participate as research subjects; (2) to determine the magnitude of change of BDV in subjects who are subsequently diagnosed with severe infection and sepsis; (3) to define variation of BDV in adult trauma subjects who do not develop severe infection.

研究组 & 干预措施
Exhaled Breath
Exhaled breath samples will be collected 6 times per day and blood samples will be collected once per day for 7 days. Subjects will be followed for an additional 3 days. We will use the Isomark Canary™ to determine the BDV of breath samples collected during this study. Analysis results of these samples will be combined with data that is abstracted from the subjects' medical records.
干预措施: Isomark Canary™ (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Breath Delta Value
时间窗: Baseline to ICU discharge or 7 days, whichever came first
The variation in breath delta value was assessed regardless of infection status. Exhaled breath samples were collected from participants upon enrollment and every four hours thereafter until the end of the subject's study duration per protocol. Each subject was used as its own control for the purpose of trend analysis.The first breath sample collected was considered an individual's "baseline" sample. The change in the breath delta value was calculated from this baseline sample.
