ABSTRACT

Introduction: sepsis is a severe clinical condition that leads to potentially fatal organ failure due to an inadequate host response to infection. In the field of critical care, the impact of sepsis on the cardiovascular system has been extensively studied, highlighting the importance of cardiac power (CP) as a key predictor of clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Objective: to evaluate cardiac power as a predictive factor for clinical evolution in sepsis patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of ABC Medical Center. Material and methods: a prospective, observational, and longitudinal study was conducted on a population of 23 adult patients diagnosed with sepsis. Patients were monitored from ICU admission, recording key hemodynamic variables, including cardiac power. Results: a cardiac power below 0.6 W is significantly associated with higher mortality and prolonged ICU stay. Conclusion: these findings underscore the importance of early monitoring of cardiac power to identify high-risk patients and adjust therapeutic strategies accordingly.
