Detection of Sepsis Occurrence by Using Blood Fluorescence

Sponsor: Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study adopted a case-control study method to explore a reagent-free, highly sensitive, and frequently screened blood fluorescence metabolite analyzer for sepsis, which can detect the emergence of inflammatory free radicals before organ damage and shorten the diagnosis time of sepsis.

Blood fluorescence metabolite analysis

This is an observational study and does not involve intervention. In both the early and late stages of sepsis, a significant increase in inflammatory free radicals changes the optical properties of the patient\'s blood, distinguishing it from that of healthy individuals. To explore this phenomenon, 4 cc of fasting blood is drawn from patients who pass our screening criteria. This sample is then centrifuged in accordance with our detailed standard operating procedures to ready it for analysis. Subsequently, the fluorescence intensity of the blood is measured quantitatively using a precisely calibrated blood fluorometer, which is specifically designed to detect subtle variations indicative of both early and late sepsis. This entire process is executed under stringent quality control protocols to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, which are pivotal for the timely diagnosis and intervention in septic patients.
