Overview

The investigators will compare the efficacy of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a better indicator than procalcitonin in burn patients with sepsis or septic shock regarding success of treatment and early ICU discharge.

Description

Interleukin 6 and procalcitonin will be sampled for all patients on days 1, 3, 7, and 10.

Treatment plan will be initiated to all patients according to the burn ICU protocol.

According to the lab results, interleukin 6 and procalcitonin will guide the investigators to take decisions regarding clinical improvement and ICU stay.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with acute burn admitted to burn ICU within 24 hours from the burn incidence.
  • patients with burn percentage of 25% to 50% of total body surface area
  • patients with second to third degree burns
  • ASA 1 and ASA 2 patients

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Burn percentage more than 50% or less than 25% of total body surface area
  • Having autoimmune diseases
  • Cancer patients
  • ASA 3 and ASA 4 patients

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
