Role of MSCT Volumetry in Assessment of Brain Atrophy in Septic Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
assessment of brain atrophy associated with septic ICU patients by using MSCT Volumetry
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Detailed Description
Sepsis is the leading cause of admission to ICU , the number of patients who survive and discharge from ICU has also increased due to technological advances in ICU however quality of life of these patients after ICU discharge is lower than that of healthy people of a similar age, in particular Sepsis associated encephalopathy associated with brain dysfunction.
We hypothesized that brain damage including brain volume reduction that ocurre in acute phase of Sepsis using CT scan and there finding " relationship to risk factor and outcome".
We compared head CT finding at time of admission with those obtained during the course of the treatment

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
cohort patients >16y with sepsis associated with disturbance in conscious level, the first braun CT scan will be routinely performed on admission, the second further brain CT Scan will be obtained whenever prolonged disturbance of consciousness will be detected. |
Device: MSCT
Using Semi-automatic MSCT Volumetry in assessment of brain atrophy associated with septic ICU patients

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- - Correlation between sepsis and brain volume reduction . - Determine the role of the CT scan in assess brain volume in acute phase of sepsis and it,s influences in improvement activities of daily living. [follow up through 10 days after admission in ICU]
- Determine the role of the CT scan in assess brain volume in acute phase of sepsis and it,s influences in improvement activities of daily living after discharge from ICU.
