About this study

Official title: ICU Echocardiography in Resuscitation of Sepsis and Septic Shock

BACKGROUND: Echocardiography can provide evaluation of right or left ventricular dysfunction and volume status during resuscitation of patients with sepsis and septic shock and guide intravenous vasopressor and fluid therapy. While there are numerous echocardiographic studies regarding cardiac function and volume status in patients with established shock, there are none that describe these during the early resuscitation of septic shock.

The study objective is to correlate echocardiographic findings with clinical parameters and net fluid balance measured during the early resuscitation of critically ill patients with sepsis and septic shock.

Aim 1) correlate echocardiographic findings of cardiac function with physiologic markers in the early hours of resuscitation

Aim 2) correlate cardiac function and fluid status with clinical outcomes

Aim 3) evaluate the change in cardiac function over time in patients with sepsis and septic shock

Aim 4) evaluate long term clinical outcomes for patients with sepsis and septic shock.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02135796
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sepsis/Septic ShockIndividuals who are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with an infection called Sepsis or Septic Shock. This group will receive transthoracic echocardiography as part of the study.
Receives: Other: Echocardiography

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlate echo findings and markers of resuscitation

    Correlate echocardiographic findings of cardiac function with physiologic markers in the early hours of resuscitation. Specifically, cardiac markers will be analyzed in relation to cardiac function, including ejection fraction, strain, and diastolic function, and correlate these with several clinical parameters, including receipt of fluid, vasopressors, mechanical ventilation, and septic cardiomyopathy

    Measured: Within 12 hours of Intensive Care Unit admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Septic Shock and Severe Sepsis, run by Intermountain Health Care, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kimberly Rhodes (801-507-4791, kimberly.rhodes@imail.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlate echo findings and markers of resuscitation (time frame: Within 12 hours of Intensive Care Unit admission). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jun 2019.
