Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: -Mechanically ventilated septic patients in the ICU planned for a laparotomy for suspected or proven intra-abdominal sepsis (incidence: ~50 p year), and mechanically ventilated non-septic patients in the ICU planned for a laparotomy or thoracotomy for other reasons such as trauma, abdominal haemorrhage, vascular surgery and patients scheduled for a thoracotomy for removal of a small (T1-T2) pulmonary tumor (these will serve as control subjects). -Age: >18 years -Gender: both male and female -all ethnic backgrounds
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: -COPD (GOLD stage II-IV) or CHF (NYHA class III-IV) -Neuromuscular disease -Drugs known to alter muscle structure and function -Chronic metabolic disease -Pulmonary hypertension -Chronic use of corticosteroids (defined as >7.5 mg/day for at least 3 months) ->10% weight loss within last 6 months.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameter/endpoint: •contractile force and structure of single diaphragm muscle fibers. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints: •Morphological determination of muscle fiber cross sectional area •Muscle fiber ultrastructure by electronmicrocopy •Posttranslational modification of contractile proteins •Diaphragm cytokine profile •Gene expression analysis by Affymetrix •Comparison of findings from diaphragm muscle to those from the non-respiratory rectus abdominus muscle and latissimus dorsi. •Correlation between diaphragm muscle fiber strength and the number of failed weaning trials. •Effect of duration of mechanical ventilation on contractile strength (by comparing individuals with various durations of mechanical ventilation). •Microvascular function. •Inflammation | — |
