This prospective observational pilot study investigates circulatory coherence in patients with COVID and non-COVID sepsis by comparison of microcirculation, endothelial glycocalyx, and clinical course
This prospective observational pilot study investigates circulatory coherence in patients with COVID and non-COVID sepsis by comparison of microcirculation (sublingual area video recordings and biochemical parameters of endothelial cells activation and damage) endothelial glycocalyx (sublingual area video recordings and biochemical parameter of glycocalyx degradation), and clinical course.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
28
non-invasive recording of sublingual microcirculation and blood sampling together with regular withdraws

change in Proportion of Perfused Vessels (PPV) parameter
PPV describes microcirculation dysfunction

Syndecan-1 is a marker of endothelial glycocalyx
Time frame: 1st, 2nd and 3rd day
change in albuminuria
albuminuria is a marker of glomerular endothelial cells dysfunction
Time frame: 1st, 2nd and 3rd day
mortality in 28 days
mortality in 28 days from ICU admission
Time frame: 30 days
