About this trial
Despite early treatment, the deterioration and mortality of sepsis patients remains high. A possible explanation could be persistent tissue hypoperfusion, or undetected in the early phase despite the normalization of macro-hemodynamic parameters. This interventional study evaluates the impact of measuring microcirculation parameters by nurses on patient prognosis through early initiation of vascular filling.

Treatments tested in this trial
measurement of the peripheral perfusion index and marbling assessment
Diagnostic testin addition to the classic hemodynamic parameters measured in all patients, a measurement of the peripheral perfusion index (from 1 sec to 10 sec) and marbling assessment (scale from 0 to 5) will be performed
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number and proportion of patients presenting clinical deterioration during emergency care
Clinical deterioration is defined by (composite criterion): 1. Arterial hypotension defined by systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≤ 100 mmHg 2. Implementation of treatment for organ support: * Vasopressor or inotrope * Invasive ventilation 3. Abnormal lactate concentration (\> 2mmol/L), without improvement (absence of decay) 4. Patient admitted in intensive care unit 5. Death
Secondary outcomes
Number and proportion of patients who received bundles (i) one hour and (ii) 3 hours of admission to the Emergency Department
Difference in SOFA score (≥ 2 points) between Hours 0 and Hours 24 (24h±6h)
Number and proportion of deaths on Day 7
Number and proportion of patients with hydrostatic pulmonary oedema (cardiogenic or volume overload) or receiving diuretic treatment during emergency care
