Neurological Outcome in Surgical and Non-surgical Septic Patients

NCT02442986 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 32

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Systemic inflammation and sepsis cause multi organ failure including severe neurologic impairment in the course of disease. Neurologic failure typically presents as critical-illness-polyneuropathy/-myopathy and septic encephalopathy during sepsis and is associated with an increased mortality rate.

Clinical parameters to determine the neurologic entities during the course of sepsis are heterogeneous. Further research for an association of clinical parameters and the patients' outcome is needed.

The study aims toward differences in the clinical and neurological outcome of surgical and non-surgical septic patients in comparison to non-septic patients on ICU. The aim of the study is to identify clinical and diagnostic outcome predictors in septic patients.
