Blood test may predict septic shock outcomes
NCT ID NCT03292120
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 124 people with septic shock to see if the difference in carbon dioxide levels between veins and arteries could predict their recovery. Researchers monitored patients closely for three days and tracked organ failure and survival at 28 days. The goal was to find a simple way to identify who might have a worse outcome.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient with a diagnosis of septic shock * Initial lactate in patients should be≥ 2 mmol / L. * The presence of circulatory insufficiency defined by a systolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mmHg (or a drop in blood pressure≥ 50 mmHg in hypertensive patients) * One or more of the following: oliguria defined as diuresis≤ 0,5 mL/ kg / h for at least two hours; the presence of signs of cerebral hypoperfusion; the highlighting of mottling * The presence of a femoral arterial catheter and a central venous line in the superior vena cava position * Hemodynamic monitoring with semi-invasive monitoring of cardiac output with thermodilution Exclusion Criteria: * Patient no longer in the initial phase of septic shock * Absence of semi-invasive cardiac monitoring with thermodilution * Vulnerable people * Absence of informed consent
