Efficacy of Hydrocortisone in Treatment of Severe Sepsis/Septic Shock Patients With Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Septic Shock Clinical Trial

Official title:
Efficacy of Moderate Dose Hydrocortisone in Treatment of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Patients With Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Severe sepsis/septic shock is a serious condition associated with high mortality rate. Hydrocortisone has been recommended as a useful treatment to decrease mortality in hemodynamically unstable septic shock patients, not response to fluid and moderate dose of vasopressor. During the progression of severe sepsis/septic shock, multi-organ dysfunction can develop. Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) is one of the common organ dysfunction associated with septic shock. Information from a meta-analysis suggested that moderate dose of hydrocortisone may improve the ARDS patients' outcome. Whether hydrocortisone can effectively prevent disease progression and death in severe sepsis/septic shock patients who complicated with ALI/ARDS has not been proven.

Clinical Trial Description

Severe sepsis/septic shock is a serious condition associated with high mortality rate. The pathophysiology of the disease involves the complex interaction between host's immunity and the microorganisms toxin. The release of immune complex and cascade of inflammatory cytokines are responsible for multiorgan dysfunction, especially the cardiovascular system. Hydrocortisone has been recommended as a useful treatment to decrease mortality in hemodynamically unstable septic shock patients, not response to fluid and moderate dose of vasopressor. Both anti-inflammation and supplementation of relatively adrenal insufficiency are the main hypothesis of the benefit of hydrocortisone. During the progression of severe sepsis/septic shock, multi-organ dysfunction can develop. Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) is one of the common organ dysfunction associated with septic shock. Although there is controversy about timing and favorable patients'characteristic, the information from a meta-analysis suggested that moderate dose of hydrocortisone may improve the ARDS patients' outcome. Whether hydrocortisone can effectively prevent disease progression and death in severe sepsis/septic shock patients who complicated with ALI/ARDS has not been proven. ;
