Personalized fluid management for patients with hospital-onset sepsis

Developing and Evaluating a Personalized Approach to Initial Fluid Resuscitation in Patients with Hospital-Onset Sepsis

NIH-funded research University of Michigan at Ann Arbor · NIH-11031095

This study is looking at the best ways to give fluids to hospitalized patients with sepsis to help them recover better, by tailoring the treatment to each person's needs and comparing it to the usual care they receive.

What this research studies

This research investigates how to optimize fluid resuscitation for patients who develop sepsis while hospitalized. It aims to understand the effects of different fluid volumes on patient outcomes and to create a personalized approach based on individual physiological responses. By utilizing electronic health records, the study will analyze data to guide fluid administration more effectively. A pilot trial will then compare this personalized method to standard care during emergency evaluations.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who develop sepsis during their hospital stay.

Not a fit: Patients who do not develop sepsis or those with community-onset sepsis may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved survival rates and better outcomes for patients with hospital-onset sepsis.

How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in personalized approaches to fluid management, but this specific focus on hospital-onset sepsis is relatively novel.
