Further study details as provided by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Disturbed cerebrovascular autoregulation correlates with sepsis associated delir [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The Index of autoregulation (Mx) was measured and correlated with the clinical incidence of a sepsis associated delir


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Correlation between inflammatory parameters and disturbed cerebrovascular autoregulation [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Correlation between inflammatory parameters and sepsis-associated delirium [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 30
Study Start Date: December 2009
Study Completion Date: March 2011
Primary Completion Date: December 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
