NCT ID:
NCT02846727
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if fluorescence angiography can detect occult shock (hypoperfusion).
Detailed Description:
Hypoperfusion may be multifactorial, due to hemorrhage, shock or other disease processes resulting in either capillary leak into the interstitium or profound vasodilatation. Currently, diagnosis of hypoperfusion depends on indirect markers of perfusion such as lactate, blood pressure, creatinine, urine output, and mental status. These are all late signs of hypoperfusion as they are precursors to impending system failure. In this study, the focus will be on one of the most common causes of hypoperfusion in the surgical population; sepsis and septic shock.
