Clinical Trial Summary

Hypotension is a common complication of intermittent renal replacement therapy. Methylene blue, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, has been suggested to improve hemodynamics during renal replacement therapy in ambulatory patients, but evidence is lacking for critically ill patients. This trial will assess whether methylene blue can improve hemodynamics and blood pressure for patients with shock requiring renal replacement therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a single-center, randomized, non-blind study, with a intention-to-treat analysis, aiming to evaluate whether the use of methylene blue reduces the incidence of hypotension during hemodialysis, resulting in a reduction in the need for therapeutic modifications during the session, defined as interruption session, reduced fluid losses and increased need for vasopressors. Patients will be randomized using RedCap platform in variable blocks of 4-6, stratified by center in a 1:1 ratio and by previous use of vasopressors, into two groups, intervention and usual treatment. Access to randomization will be available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Patients on intermittent renal replacement therapy will be selected to receive or not methylene blue at a bolus dose of 1 mg/kg, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.1 mg/kg of body weight in a total of 200 ml of solution. saline throughout the dialysis session. The usual care group will not receive any intervention. ;
