Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study endpoint is the accuracy determined with the AUC-ROC for the delta PCO2 (PaCO2 - tcPCO2) and delta PO2 (tcPO2 - cPO2) in patients with and without sepsis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To determine the factors influencing delta PCO2 and delta PO2. - To determine and to determine a trend of delta PCO2 and delta PO2 levels over time during the onset and treatment of sepsis. - The influence of ventilation and hemodynamics as measured by ventilation parameters, patient monitoring parameters and registration of applied vasopressors on skin perfusion by measuring delta PCO2, delta PO2, delta PI and delta heating power levels over time. - Correlation of sensor value deviations and drift from blood gas sample values between measured tcPCO2, tcPO2, cPCO2, cPO2 and heating power to analyse the effects of skin temperature and vascularization on measurement accuracy. - Correlation between delta PCO2, delta PO2 levels and delta heating power and pulse index (PI) from the pulse oximeter as indicator of impaired perfusion. - Assessment of the measurement quality and accuracy in patients with microcirculatory impairment. - Correlating the delta PCO2, delta PO2, delta PI and delta heating power to patient outcome. - Determine the effect of the sensor location on the level and reliability of the measurements. - Determine the association between the delta PCO2 and blood flow measured using laser Doppler spectroscopy. | — |
