Outcome measures
Primary outcome
microcirculatoire alterations related to underlying illness, expressed as -
amongst others- microvascular flow index (MFI), proportion of perfused vessels
(PPV).
Secondary outcome
microcirculatoire alterations related to:
hospital/intensive care length of stay
mortality
severity of illness
Background summary
Recent research has focused on the investigation of sublingual microcirculatory
alterations in different patient categories, like cardiac surgery and sepsis.
The microcirculation plays a pivotal role in tissue oxygenation and can be non
invasively visualized by SDF-imaging.
Study objective
The objective is to carry out a international multi center study to investigate
the prevalence of microcirculatory alterations in intensive care patients. Up
to the present time, a comprehensive prevalence study like this has not been
carried out.
Study design
Visualization of the sublingual microcirculation at a fixed time point with
SDF- or OPS-imaging in all adult patients of participating intensive care
units, regardless of their underlying disease. Concurrently, data on both
patient characteristics (e.g. severity of illness, treatment) and ICU
characteristics will be obtained.
Study burden and risks
non invasive measurement, no damaging consequences have been observed
