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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years

Admitted to the Emergency Department for suspected Sepsis for less than 6 hours according to international Sepsis-3 definitions (high probability of infection defined by a fever greater than or equal tol to 38.3°C with a suspected infectious source + Score NEWS 2 greater than or equal to 2)

Having agreed to participate in this study

Disqualifiers

Patient with arterial hypotension (SBP ≤ 100 mmHg) on admission

Patient having already received a 500mL filling test over 30 minutes

Treatments tested in this trial

  • measurement of the peripheral perfusion index and marbling assessment

    Diagnostic test

    in 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

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
between time of inclusion and 24 hours after

Secondary outcomes

1

Number and proportion of patients who received bundles (i) one hour and (ii) 3 hours of admission to the Emergency Department

Time frame
from admission to the Emergency Department to 3 hours after
2

Difference in SOFA score (≥ 2 points) between Hours 0 and Hours 24 (24h±6h)

Time frame
between Hours 0 and Hours 24
3

Number and proportion of deaths on Day 7

Time frame
from enrollement to the end of the patient participation at Day 7
4

Number and proportion of patients with hydrostatic pulmonary oedema (cardiogenic or volume overload) or receiving diuretic treatment during emergency care

Time frame
from enrollment to the end of the subject participation at day 7
