About

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the influence of extracellular water on volume status in adult sepsis patients presenting with hemodynamic instability. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Can measurement of extracellular water (MoistureMeterD, Delfin Technologies Ltd, Kuopio, Finland) contribute to the description of hemodynamic instability in adult sepsis patients.

Patients with sepsis admitted to intensive care will receive standard care with the addition of measurement of extracellular water.

Full description

Adult patients with sepsis admitted to any of our ICUs will be recruited. During the first three days after inclusion blood samples and extended non-invasive monitoring, including monitoring of the microcirculation (CytoCam) and measurement of extracellular water (dielectronic constant), will be added to routine care and monitoring.

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Adults with sepsis.

Exclusion criteria

• Pregnancy, other than sepsis known cause of shock.
