Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Pentraxin-3, troponin T, N-terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide in septic patients.
To investigate the behavior of pentraxin-3 (PTX3), troponin T (hsTnT), N-terminal pro-B type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in sepsis and their relationships with sepsis severity and oxygen transport/utilization impairment. ⋯ The selected biomarkers seem related to different mechanisms during sepsis: PTX3 to sepsis severity, hsTnT to impaired oxygen transport, NT-proBNP to sepsis severity, oxygen transport, and aggressive fluid strategy.
