Identifying Photoplethysmographic Waves in Adults with Septic Shock

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to identify the types of Photoplethysmographic waves in adults diagnosed with septic shock and to explore their correlation with various indicators of tissue hypoperfusion, such as capillary refill time, serum lactate levels, and mottling scores. Utilizing a classification system developed by Tusman and collaborators, the study categorizes these waves into six types based on arterial tone, ranging from vasoconstriction to severe vasodilation. The research will analyze the frequency of these wave types and their relationship with other hemodynamic variables, providing insights into the physiological status of patients experiencing septic shock.
