About this trial
Fluid resuscitation is a critical component of sepsis treatment. Research has shown that intravenous (IV) fluid therapy in sepsis positively impacts cardiac output and thereby oxygen (O2) delivery through a complex interaction of central venous pressure, right atrial pressure, venous resistance, ventricular compliance, cardiac contractility, and systemic vascular resistance. The 2021 sepsis prevention guidelines recommend balanced crystalloids as first-line therapy. However, no studies in the literature have evaluated the effect of albumin on O2 delivery. In our study, the investigators aim to assess the impact of albumin replacement on O2 delivery in sepsis patients in the intensive care unit.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Followed up with a diagnosis of sepsis,
over 18 years old
Patients who were diagnosed with hypo-albuminemia after more than 4L/day fluid resuscitation and underwent albumin replacement
Disqualifiers
Consent is not given by the patient or his/her guardian,
The initial cause of shock was hypovolemic, cardiogenic or obstructive shock.
Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy
Peripheral limb or severe organ ischemia with peripheral artery disease
Trial population
Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), hemoglobin (Hb), partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (PaO2) values will be obtained by blood gas measurements. Cardiac output will be calculated from the parasternal long axis window by transthoracic echocardiography and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) measurement. LVOT peak velocity measurement (VTI) will be displayed in PulseWave mode through the apical 5-window window. During measurement, the image will be frozen and VTI will be measured from the widest wave. The effect of albumin replacement on the measurements will be evaluated by calculating the ECHO findings, blood gas parameters and SOFA score of the study patients before and after albumin replacement.

Primary outcomes
oxygen delivery
Effect of albumin replacement on oxygen delivery.Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), hemoglobin (Hb), partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (PaO2) values will be obtained by blood gas measurements.DO2(oxygen delivery): CO x 10 x (Hbx1,34x SaO2) When oxygen delivery to tissue is calculated according to this formula, normal values are 5 x 10 x 15 x 1,34 x 0.98 =984 ml/dk.
Secondary outcomes
change in SOFA score
Effect of albumin replacement on change in SOFA score. By evaluating the Central nervous system, Cardiovascular system, Respiratory system, Coagulation, Liver and Renal function, each organ system receives a score ranging from 0 (normal) to 4 (most abnormal), with a minimum SOFA score of 0 and a maximum SOFA score of 24.
