Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Sepsis, Influence of Renal Replacement Therapy (SepsAR2)

June 9, 2020 updated by: Patrick Schramm, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz

Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Patients With Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock, Influence of Renal Replacement Therapy

The cerebrovascular autoregulation is impaired in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. A continuous veno-venous hemodialysis may improve impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation.

Hypothesis: continuous hemodialysis recovers impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation in patients with acute severe sepsis and septic shock.
