Anesthesia Endothelial Dysfunction Sepsis Septic Shock Surgery | Drug: Fluid bolus administration | Not Applicable |
Effect of two regimes of fluid challenge on GCX in patients with sepsis and during elective surgery under general anesthesia.
Hypothesis to be tested: Administration of 500 ml of balanced solution as a bolus impairs GCX more than prolonged administration.
The aim of the study: Comparison of two regimes of fluid challenge in patients with sepsis and in patients undergoing elective major surgery.
Type of the study: Open, randomized, interventional.
Subjects:
Part A: Patients with sepsis within 48 hours before admission to ICU requiring fluid challenge based on clinical or echocardiographic assessment.
Part B: Patients during major elective surgery requiring fluid challenge based on clinical or echocardiographic assessment.
Sample size calculation (based on expected difference in PRB, alpha error I =0,05 and study power = 0,99) = 52 patients. Investigators plan enrolment of 60 patients for each part, totally 120 patients.
Intervention:
- 500 ml of balanced crystalloid solution within 5 minutes (group "fast")
- 500 ml of balanced crystalloid solution within 30 minutes (group "slow") Data to be recorded and analysed: Demographics, severity score, fluid response assessment, sublingual microcirculation by SDF imaging will be recorded at time points: baseline, after intervention, after 60 minutes, after 120 minutes, plasma syndecan-1 will be analysed before intervention and 120 minutes thereafter, microcirculatory data and Perfused Boundary Region.
