Shock, Organ Dysfunction and Resuscitation

The goal of the Shock, Organic Dysfunction and Resuscitation Research Group (SODIR) is comprehensive, innovative research into the areas of shock, acute respiratory failure, acute kidney failure, organic dysfunction, resuscitation and critical patient monitoring. In addition, the research group has a special interest in applying artificial intelligence as an instrument to find innovative solutions for critical patients.

Research lines

Neurocritical pathology

The research line in neurocritical pathology research line, led by Dr. A. Sanchez, studies HSA and specifically its evolutionary complications such as the development of late ischemic neurological deficit and myocardial dysfunction. Refractory epileptic status and delirium are also areas of interest. This line has an ongoing thesis (Dr. M. Santafé).

Sepsis and Septic shock

The objective of the sepsis research line is the study of biomarkers that allow the early identification of the septic patient as well as the prognostic stratification of these patients. For SODIR, the study of microbiological diagnosis from molecular identification studies is also extremely important. The research lines in sepsis and infectous diseases are currently working collaboratively with Microbiology Department in several research projects. Among them, we should specifically highlight the RAIS study (Scalable, point-of-care and label free microarray platform for rapid detection of Sepsis, H2020-ICT-2014-1, Grant Agreement no. 644956) financed by European Commission that has the objective of developing a platform that will allow the early identification of several inflammatory mediators of sepsis and some of the most frequent microorganisms associated with severe sepsis and septic shock.

SODIR has created and developed the Sepsis Biobank in collaboration with de Microbiology Research Group of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital. The Sepsis Biobank of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, co-directed by Juan Carlos Ruiz-Rodríguez, is a unit to support biomedical research that aims to make available to the scientific community samples of blood, plasma and serum of patients with sepsis and septic shock. The samples of Sepsis Biobank are obtained from septic patients with activation of the sepsis code of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital. The Sepsis Biobank, the first of Spain and the second of Europe, should be a tool to facilitate and promote biomedical research in sepsis in the scientific community. Currently two projects are already using samples of the BBS in their research.
