Clinical Trial Summary

There is a knowledge gap regarding the optimal initial fluid to achieve effective resuscitation and improved outcomes in septic shock. The purpose of this study is to compare initial resuscitation with plasma to initial resuscitation with balanced crystalloids.

Intervention

Drug:
• Plasma
Initial resuscitation with plasma will be 10 mL/kg (700 mL in a typical 70 kg adult). Traditional doses of plasma, when used to correct coagulopathy range from 10-15 mL/kg.23 The plasma will be administered at a rate of 2-3 mL/kg/hr (140-210 mL/hr in a typical 70 kg adult). A research physician will be at bedside to follow patient resuscitation. Plasma administration may be terminated before the entire dose is administered if patients show clinical improvement. After the initial dose of plasma has been given, subsequent resuscitation will follow usual care using balanced crystalloids.
• Balanced crystalloids
Usual care using balanced crystalloids (Iso-Lyte or Plasma-Lyte) only will follow Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines. Controls will receive 30 mL/kg (2100 mL in a typical 70 kg adult) of crystalloids within the first 3 hours. Subsequent resuscitation with balanced crystalloids will be titrated to the endpoints of resuscitation.
