NCT06727318

Brief Summary

In patients with septic shock undergoing intensive care unit monitoring, routine assessment of arterial and/or venous blood gas is conducted. During the period when arterial and/or venous blood gas is analyzed in this patient cohort, peripheral perfusion indicators will also be examined. Peripheral perfusion indicators will be appraised using capillary refill and mottling score. In patients experiencing septic shock, elevated lactate levels and progressive elevation of lactate levels during monitoring, prolonged capillary refill time exceeding 3 seconds, protracted capillary refill time, mottling development, and escalating mottling score are prognostic indicators of poor outcomes. The objective of this prospective study is to assess the correlation between capillary refill time and mottling score, concurrently evaluated, and serum lactate levels in arterial and/or venous blood gas.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • USE OF PERİFERAL PERFUSİON ASSESSMENT METHODS

    Arterial and/or venous blood gases measured every 6 hours from the time of diagnosis and concurrent peripheral perfusion findings (capillary refill time, mottling score) will be noted in the first 24 hours. Capillary refill time, mottling score, lactate level measurements will be evaluated separately for septic shock progression and 28-day mortality. Parameters that are significant for septic shock progression in univariate analysis will be evaluated with logistic regression analysis. Then, the correlation between the peripheral perfusion findings and lactate levels will be compared with correlation analysis.
