About this study

the investigators included 98 patients admitted for sepsis and septic shock (68.4% men, 31.6% women) with an average age of 60.42 years ± 15.13, ranging from 21 to 96 years. The average length of hospital stay was 7.53 days. The most noted medical histories were diabetes (38.8%), hypertension (28.6%), and renal insufficiency (17.1%). Regarding laboratory findings: the mean white blood cell count was 15,985.16 cells/mm³, the mean C-reactive protein (CRP) level was 227.69 mg/L, and the mean procalcitonin level was 50.43 µg/L. In terms of blood gas analysis: the mean lactate level was 3.67 mmol/L, and the mean PCO2 gap (DELTAPCO2) was 4.85. All our patients were continuously monitored by pulse wave analysis: the mean cardiac output was 5.69 L/min, and the mean cardiac index was 4.14 L/s/m² All our patients underwent an echocardiogram, which is a routine examination in our department and is performed at the patient's bedside. The average left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 51.73%, and the average subaortic peak velocity (ITV) was 14.66 cm.

Subsequently. the investigators examined the clinical and paraclinical profile of patients with septic cardiomyopathy. the investigators identified 19 patients with this condition, while 79 patients did not exhibit cardiac involvement. The percentage was significantly higher in the population with cardiac involvement, accounting for 28.3%. Among the patients with cardiac involvement, 76.5% had a PCO2 gap (DELTAPCO2) ≥ 6 mmHg, a significantly reduced cardiac output with an average of 3.3 L/min, and a predominantly low cardiac index, with 64.3% having an index < 2.2 L/min/m². The mortality rate was significantly increased at 73.7%.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gap co2 and Cardiac Output, Low, run by Mohammed VI University Hospital at 1 site in Morocco.

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 4 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 22 Mar 2024. 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 Morocco. 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?

gapCO2 (time frame: 10 mounths). 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 22 Mar 2024.
