Sponsor's own description
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy is associated with high mortality rates and long-term neuropsychiatric disorders. Currently, there is no specific treatment for sepsis-associated encephalopathy. Levetiracetam, a broad-spectrum antiepileptic widely used in intensive care units, has neuroprotective properties. We propose the KiSS study, a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind trial with two arms, evaluating the effect of levetiracetam treatment for seven days during septic shock on the occurrence and duration of sepsis-associated encephalopathy.
