Summary

In patients with SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the state of the intravascular volume, the characteristics of the blood volume components, and the development of a vascular leak is currently unknown. The relationship of these parameters with parameters of cardiac performance, lung edema and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion parameters have never been studied.

  • Bacterial Infection
  • Sepsis
  • Coronavirus
  • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: ICU Patients with bacterial infectionExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients who are admitted to the ICU with a confirmed bacterial infection. Bacterial infection is defined as the clinical suspicion of a bacterial infection with the presence of two or more clinical markers of infection: abnormal body temperature (>38C or <36C) increased heart rate (>90 b/min), increased respiratory rate > 20/min or a decreased arterial CO2: PaCO2 < 32 mmHg Abnormal white blood cell count: < 4000 mm3 or > 12,000 /mm3 or > 10% immature cells OR The presence of a positive (blood) culture with bacterial growth.
Group II: COVID-19 ICU PatientsExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients who are admitted to the ICU with a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection
