Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized double-blind controlled study with the primary aim of scientifically evaluating the potential effects of paracetamol and ibuprofen in the management of sepsis by comparing their fever-reducing efficacy in septic patients. Sepsis is recognized as a severe form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) characterized by organ dysfunction resulting from severe infections. This study aims to address a significant aspect of fever management in septic patients by objectively assessing the fever-reducing potential of paracetamol and ibuprofen.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized double-blind controlled study with the primary aim of scientifically evaluating the potential effects of paracetamol and ibuprofen in the management of sepsis by comparing their fever-reducing efficacy in septic patients. Sepsis is recognized as a severe form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) characterized by organ dysfunction resulting from severe infections. This study aims to address a significant aspect of fever management in septic patients by objectively assessing the fever-reducing potential of paracetamol and ibuprofen. In addition to assessing the fever-reducing efficacy of paracetamol and ibuprofen, this study will also evaluate their ability to provide symptomatic relief. The effects of paracetamol and ibuprofen on vital signs in septic patients will be examined to understand the overall course of the clinical condition. The analysis of the side effect profile aims to provide a comprehensive view of the safety and tolerability of both drugs. The significance of this study can be explained by the critical role of fever regulation in sepsis management. Commonly used drugs like paracetamol and ibuprofen are widely employed to reduce fever and alleviate symptoms. However, there is limited data regarding the efficacy and safety of these drugs in septic patients. This research will help us better understand the role of these drugs in fever management in septic patients and contribute to optimizing treatment strategies. The findings of this study may guide clinical practice and establish a stronger scientific foundation for the management of septic patients. This research may bring a new perspective to clinical practices regarding fever management in septic patients. By providing scientific data on whether commonly used drugs like paracetamol and ibuprofen can contribute to sepsis treatment, it may enhance the more effective management of patients. If it is demonstrated that paracetamol and ibuprofen can be used effectively and safely in septic patients, treatment optimization can be achieved with appropriate dosages and under suitable conditions. This may enable patients to achieve more effective fever control. The results of the research may offer a better scientific basis for the use of drugs like paracetamol and ibuprofen in septic patients in clinical settings. ;
