Bedside vs. Standard Microbiological Blood Culture Diagnostics - BEMIDIA Study
Bedside vs. Standard Microbiological Blood Culture Diagnostics - BEMIDIA Study
With a completely bedside blood culture diagnostics system (BACTEC blood culture system in
 combination with the Accelerate ID/AST System) it is possible to optimize the initial
 antimicrobial therapy in patients with sepsis and septic shock.

 Prospective observational, open-label mono-center study to compare a completely bedside blood
 culture diagnostics system (BACTEC blood culture system in combination with the Accelerate
 ID/AST System and Curetis Univero System) with standard blood culture diagnostics in patients
 with sepsis or septic shock.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients with a new diagnosed sepsis or septic shock: emergency department, operating
 theatre, intensive care unit and planed blood culture diagnostics.

 -  informed written consent

 Exclusion Criteria:
