Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Transcranial doppler pulsatility index guided protocol

Mean arterial blood pressure guided protocol

Arm Description

Norepinephrine titration that will be guided by Transcranial doppler (TCD) pulsatility index.

Norepinephrine titration that will be guided by Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Intensive care unit (ICU) mortality
Incidence of Intensive care unit (ICU) stay will be recorded

Secondary Outcome Measures

Mean arterial pressure
Fluid resuscitation will be started using crystalloids at a rate of 4 to 6 ml/kg with reevaluation after 15 minutes. If MAP is still less than 65 mmhg, fluid resuscitation should be continued at a rate of 4 to 6 ml/kg with reevaluation after another 15 minutes up to 30 ml/kg. Vasopressors will be started if the patient is still hypotensive during or after resuscitation without delay even peripherally to avoid delay until central venous access is secured (norepinephrine is the first line agent preferred over other vasopressors).
Norepinephrine titration
Fluid resuscitation will be started using crystalloids at a rate of 4 to 6 ml/kg with reevaluation after 15 minutes. If MAP is still less than 65 mmhg, fluid resuscitation should be continued at a rate of 4 to 6 ml/kg with reevaluation after another 15 minutes up to 30 ml/kg. Vasopressors will be started if the patient is still hypotensive during or after resuscitation without delay even peripherally to avoid delay until central venous access is secured (norepinephrine is the first line agent preferred over other vasopressors).
Cerebral perfusion pressure
Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) will be done using transcranial doppler.
Outcome of encephalopathy
Encephalopathy outcome at ICU discharge using Glasgow coma scale (GCS)
SOFA score
SOFA score at ICU admission and discharge.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of our study is to compare between transcranial doppler pulsatility index and mean arterial blood pressure in guiding management of sepsis induced encephalopathy.
Detailed Description
Sepsis induced encephalopathy is the most frequent sepsis related organ dysfunction. It appears early during the course of infection, often before any other organ involvement in up to 70% of hospitalized septic patients and is associated with significant change of cerebral circulation caused by redistribution of blood flow during sepsis that accompanies the abnormal inflammatory response during an infection, in absence of direct central nervous system involvement.
