What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the incidence of severe sepsis and septic shock among adult surgical patients admitted to the general surgical ICU at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok. It will collect data on various risk factors, resuscitation methods, and clinical outcomes, including organ failure and mortality rates. The study will involve 800 patients and focus on the effects of fluid replacement and other interventions within the first six hours of admission. By analyzing these factors, the study seeks to identify potential improvements in patient management and outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult surgical patients over 18 years old who are admitted to the general surgical ICU.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing cardiothoracic, neurosurgery, or traumatic surgery may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved survival rates and outcomes for patients experiencing severe sepsis and septic shock.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown that early and aggressive resuscitation can improve outcomes in septic patients, suggesting that this approach may be beneficial.
