Microcirculation After MAP Increase in Septic Shock Patients With Previous

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The optimal levels of mean arterial pressure that must be achieved in septic shock are subject of debate. Studies tried to correlate blood pressure increase in patients with septic shock with microcirculation. However, there are few studies that specifically assessed septic shock patients with previous arterial hypertension. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of increased blood pressure level in the microcirculation of these patients and compare them with patients without arterial hypertension.

Clinical Trial Description

Hypothesis: After a rise in mean arterial pressure, microcirculation improvement will occur only in the previously hypertensive patients.

Study design: Prospective clinical trial Setting: Intensive care units of the Anesthesiology Department at the Federal University of Sao Paulo and the intensive care unit of Kidney Hospital.

Studied population: Forty patients will be included, being 20 without known history of systemic arterial hypertension and 20 with this diagnosis for at least 2 years and already with clinical or subclinical organ damage.

Inclusion criteria: age over than 18 years old, norepinephrine drug use for at least 12 hours and for less than 72 hours, sedation level equal or deeper than Ramsay 4, blood pressure stable for the last 30 minutes prior to inclusion, central venous catheter in place and signed informed consent.

Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, cirrhosis, systemic sclerosis, and need to maintain mean arterial pressure above 65mmHg for others conditions.

Intervention: noradrenaline dose will be risen to obtain a mean arterial pressure of 85-90 mmHg.

Assessments and outcome: Systemic hemodynamic (central venous oxygen saturation, cardiac output, heart rate, central venous pressure) and sublingual microcirculation variables (microcirculatory flow index, total vascular density, proportion of perfused vessels, perfused vascular density) will be measured before and after the rise in mean arterial pressure. Sidestream darkfield will be used to assess microcirculation. The variation between those variables before and after the intervention will be compared. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
