Analysis of Sublingual Glycocalyx Damage at ICU Admission to Predict Risk of Death

Germany100 participantsStarted 2019-04-15

Plain-language summary

The aim of this observative, prospective study is to evaluate if and to what extent glycocalyx damage/microcirculation data at admission in the ICU as well as during ICU stay can be predictive of mortality and clinical course in patients presenting with the suspicion of sepsis/septic shock. Therefore, the enrollment of ca 100 ICU patients is planned.
