NCT03372330

Brief Summary

The peripheral artery disease (PAD) prevalence is high in the elderly, the diabetic patients, and the patients receiving hemodialysis. To date, there is no guideline recommendation on the screening of PAD in patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) for sepsis. We conducted a prospective cohort study focusing on patients admitted to the MICU with the main diagnosis of sepsis. The ankle-brachial indexes are performed within 24 hours after admission. Invasive arterial line monitoring and standard non-invasive measurements are collected. After confirmation of PAD, standard anti-platelet treatments (aspirin and cilostazol) are initiated. The survival before and after the conduction of this trial is compared to historical records. The outcomes including all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, minor amputation, major amputation, and prolonged ventilator dependent are to be collected.

Study Arms (2)

Sepsis with PAD

Patients admitted to the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of sepsis (quick SOFA score \>=2) and with ankle-brachial index \< 0.9 or vascular Duplex confirmed peripheral artery disease. \* Standard care for sepsis and PAD

Drug: Standard care for sepsis and PAD

Sepsis without PAD

Patients admitted to the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of sepsis (quick SOFA score \>=2) and with ankle-brachial index \>= 0.9 or vascular Duplex found no evidence of peripheral artery disease. \* Standard care for sepsis

Drug: Standard care for sepsis

Interventions

The standard medications care for the patient with PAD included antiplatelet agents.
