Association Between SMA Flow and AGI in Critically Ill Patients

NCT04979494 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 69

Last updated 2024-09-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) is related to poor outcomes of critically ill patients \[1\] through many underlying mechanisms \[2\]. It is also a part of the process of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). However, the morbidity of acute gastrointestinal dysfunction in critically ill patients is highly underestimated due to the scarcity of accurate measurement and thus the causes are still unclear.

In this study, investigators are going to apply the technique of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) evaluation on the bowel diameters, wall thickness and movement combined with intra-abdominal pressure to determine the occurrence of AGI. The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood flow is also evaluated by POCUS to find out the association between SMA blood flow and AGI.
