Filter by:This is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, two-part adaptive clinical trial. The trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of multiple dosing regimens of selepressin and to confirm the efficacy and safety of one dosing regimen in treatment of adult patients with septic shock requiring vasopressor.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects of controlling the heart rate of patients with septic shock using an intravenous medication called esmolol.
The study objective is to clarify whether the application of high doses CPFA (Coupled Plasma-Filtration Adsorption) in addition to the current clinical practice is able to reduce hospital mortality in septic shock patients in intensive care unit (ICU).
Septic shock is a potentially life-threatening condition that can result in multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and mortality. LB1148 was formulated to preserve gut integrity during physiological shock and ameliorate the subsequent autodigestion leading to MODS and mortality. The purpose of this study in septic shock patients is to determine if enteral administration of LB1148 will increase the number of days alive without cardiovascular, pulmonary or renal replacement therapy through Day 28.
The primary objective of this study is to assess reasonable safety and performance of the HeartMate PHP to provide hemodynamic support for up to 72 hours in patients with cardiogenic shock requiring stabilization.
Septic shock is a condition that is marked by severe infection causing hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain adequate perfusion to vital organs. The Surviving Sepsis campaign, an international organization formed for the purpose of guiding the management of sepsis and septic shock, currently recommends norepinephrine as the first-choice vasopressor for septic shock. Phenylephrine, a vasopressor FDA-approved for use in septic shock, is recommended as an alternative vasopressor when septic shock is complicated by tachyarrhythmia to mitigate cardiac complications. This recommendation is based solely on experience with no scientific evidence to support this recommendation. The investigators will conduct an open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) directly comparing phenylephrine and norepinephrine, two FDA-approved vasopressors that are both used in clinical practice for the management of septic shock. The investigators will perform this study with a population of patients that have septic shock to complete the following aims: Aim 1: Determine the incidence of tachyarrhythmias. Aim 2: Determine which vasopressor, phenylephrine or norepinephrine, is associated with a lower heart rate. Aim 3: Determine which vasopressor, phenylephrine or norepinephrine, is associated with a higher incidence of new tachyarrhythmias. Aim 4: Determine which vasopressor, phenylephrine or norepinephrine, is associated with less time in tachyarrhythmia. Aim 5: Determine which vasopressor, phenylephrine or norepinephrine, is associated with fewer complications, including cardiac complications. The investigators hypothesize that in this setting, phenylephrine will improve the management of septic shock when used as a "first choice" vasopressor by: 1. Decreasing the mean heart rate 2. Decreasing the incidence of new tachyarrhythmias 3. Decreasing the amount of time spent in tachyarrhythmia for patients who develop new onset and recurrent tachyarrhythmias 4. Decreasing the number of cardiac complications
Philips has developed a new algorithm, called Hemodynamic Instability Rules Based Advisor (HIRBA 2.0) system, for the prediction of hemodynamic instability in critically ill patients, who were not previously known to be at risk. This algorithm provides with the numerical index - Hemodynamic Instability Index (HII) and its trend which are calculated from existing real time data derived from patient's current hospital stay such as heart rate and blood pressure, labs, and Admission - Discharge- Transfer (ADT) data to help healthcare providers obtain information about patient's status and make clinical decisions. The aim of the study is to determine if the patient clinical information, displayed in the form of HII, can prompt possible patient hemodynamic status change and trigger earlier clinical care team response. We hypothesize that this real-time information on hemodynamic instability and earlier clinical decision making will lead to reduced length of stay (LOS) and ICU mortality relative to standard care practice. Study will also identify if the use of the Philips new algorithm called Hemodynamic Instability Rules Based Advisor (HIRBA 2.0) can improve outcomes for patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs). During this study, upon patient admission to the ICU clinical data collection will begin. Data that will be pulled during the study includes: vital signs, medications, reason for admission to the ICU, treatments that patient may receive. Research subjects will not be asked to do anything as far as specific activities expected to be accomplished during study participation. Subjects will be involved in the study only during their stay in ICU. HII information will be visible to clinicians, taking care of this patient only during his/ her stay in the study unit. Study team will collect patient information and have the ability to view the HII for subjects. Once patient leaves the ICU the study team will collect information on the remainder of patient's hospital course including date of hospital discharge. All collected data will be then fully de-identified and released to Philips for analysis.
The hallmarks of septic shock are hypovolemia and reduced pressor response to endogenous noradrenaline. The working hypothesis is that the higher the plasma concentration of endogenous noradrenaline will be, the lower the pressor response to exogenous noradrenaline will be. This will be tested in patients presenting with septic shock, following state of the art management (including repeated assessment of vena cava diameter and compliance, and response to dynamic indices of loading) following placebo vs clonidine administration (1 mcg.kg-1.h-1 over 24 h without bolus) and administration of increasing doses of noradrenaline (1 mcg, 2 mcg, etc. up to a delta systolic blood pressure circa 25-30 mm Hg).
The main objectives of the study are 1)to examine the immediate (2 hours) and delayed (8 hours) effects of intravenous hydrocortison on macro and microvascular post-ischemic vasoreactivity, in septic shock adult patients; 2) to examine possible correlations between post-ischemic flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery (assessed by ultrasound imaging) and post-ischemic recovery slope of the thenar oxygen saturation (StO2) (assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy).
The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that, as compared to early intravenous feeding, early nutrition via the enteral route is associated with reduced Day 28-mortality in critically ill patients treated with mechanical ventilation and vasoactive drug.
