Clinical Trial Summary

Aim The aim of the proposed RCT is to determine effectiveness of a strategy, where MAP (mean arterial blood pressure) targets during vasopressor therapy for shock in ICU are individualized based on patients' own pre-illness MAP that would be derived as an average of up to five most recent pre-illness blood pressure readings. Hypothesis We hypothesize that targeting a patient's pre-illness MAP during management of shock can minimize the degree of MAP-deficit (a measure of relative hypotension), which may help reduce the risk of 14-day mortality and major adverse kidney events by day 14 in ICU. Endpoints The primary endpoint will be the all-cause mortality rate at day 14. Secondary endpoints will be the time to death through day 14 and day 90, major adverse kidney events (MAKE-14), renal replacement therapy (RRT) free days until day 28, and 90-day all-cause mortality. Significance To date no major RCT has tested this strategy among ICU patients with shock. This pivotal trial will provide evidence to fulfil a crucial knowledge gap regarding a common and a fundamental intervention in critical care.
