About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Septic Shock focused on measuring septic shock, composite adverse events, hydrocortisone, hyperglycemia, hypernatremia, muscle weakness, superimposed infection

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Patient >= 18 years old Diagnosis Septic shock from the definition of SEPSIS III criteria in intensive care unit or medicine ward or surgical ward at Siriraj hospital Received at least 1 catecholamines and hydrocortisone at least 200 mg/d Maintain mean arterial pressure >= 65 mmHg even if titrate down catecholamines until low dose (<=0.1 mcg/kg/min) Exclusion Criteria: Patient sign Do not resuscitation and terminally ill Pregnancy Need long term steroid use due to other medical condition

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

early cessation group

conventional cessation group

Arm Description

The pharmacist uses 100 ml of normal saline solution, packed out in the same format, dose, and administration of the drug were exactly the same as in the conventional cessation group. The experimental starts after required dose of vasopressor less than 0.1 mcg/kg/min. The nurse serially records capillary blood glucose and serum sodium following the doctor's order.

The pharmacist prepared hydrocortisone and normal saline solution 100 ml starts dose at least 200 mg/day according to doctor's order after patient meets the criteria of refractory septic shock then continues conventional cessation of hydrocortisone according to doctor's order after required dose of vasopressor less than 0.1 mcg/kg/min. The nurse serially records capillary blood glucose and serum sodium following the doctor's order.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Septic shock is one of the causes of death in ICU and hospital. Refractory shock is the problem which healthcare providers should recognize though it is difficult to handle with. The corticosteroid called hydrocortisone is one of the treatment in refractory septic shock which requires vasopressor to maintain blood pressure. In recovery phase of septic shock and weaning off vasopressor, there is no definite way to taper off hydrocortisone.
Detailed Description
According to secondary outcomes of several studies analyzed in systemic review was shown adverse events from corticosteroid uses including hyperglycemia, hypernatremia, muscle weakness, and superimposed infection. This trials will compare composite adverse events in early versus conventional cessation of hydrocortisone in septic shock.
