Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All adult patients with the diagnosis of sepsis who will be admitted to the Trauma and Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) of Kasralainy School of Medicine,Cairo University during a 6-month period (from March 2017 to September 2017) will be enrolled in the study.Sepsis is defined according to Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2016 as life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection.10 Septic shock is defined as a subset of sepsis in which particularly profound circulatory, cellular, and metabolic abnormalities substantially increase mortality.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients (more than 18 years).
  • Sepsis as a cause of admission.

Who cannot join

  • • Patients younger than 18 years of age.
  • Pregnant females.
  • Trauma as a cause of intensive care unit (ICU)admission.
  • Known medical history of vasodilator therapy.
  • Cardiac arrhythmias.
  • Any absolute contraindication for fluid administration such as congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema and/or fluid overload

About this study

Correction of arterial hypotension is essential for adequate cellular metabolism. maintaining MAP above a minimum level has been recommended in order to prevent further tissue hypoperfusion and organ dysfunction.Functional assessment of arterial load by dynamic arterial elastance (Eadyn), has recently been shown to predict the arterial pressure response to volume expansion (VE) in hypotensive, preload-dependent septic patients.

Read the detailed description

After approval from the ethics and research committee of Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, an informed consent will be obtained from each patient's next of kin. Arteial cathter will be inserted in radial artery and connected through an arterial line to invasive arterial blood pressure monitor. Electrical Cardiometry will be attached to patient through the placement of four skin sensors on the neck and left side of the thorax12. A set of hemodynamic measurements will be obtained at baseline and after infusing a fluid challenge (FC) of 150-250 ml normal saline over 5-10 minutes.Fluid-responders are patients with a SV increase ≥10% after fluid challenge (FC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2018. 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 Egypt. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

dynamic arterial elastance (time frame: 6 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03179215, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Jul 2018.
