ALBumin Italian Outcome Septic Shock-BALANCED Trial (ALBIOSS-BALANCED) (ALBIOSS-BAL)
Septic Shock
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Septic Shock focused on measuring Septic Shock, Albumin, Balanced crystalloids
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients with septic shock if they meet the two following criteria:
Presence of an infection (known or suspected) in at least one site:
- Lung
- Abdomen
- Urinary tract
- Others (blood, skin and soft tissues, central nervous system, bones and joints, cardiac system, reproductive organs).
- Presence of a severe and acute, sepsis-related cardiovascular failure (as assessed by the SOFA score - see Annex 1), requiring vasopressor to maintain mean arterial pressure >=65 mmHg, despite adequate volume resuscitation a) Cardiovascular SOFA score > 2 (3 or 4) If the patient is unable to provide informed consent, she/he can be included in the trial provided that the requirements of ongoing laws are fulfilled; details on this approach are provided in the protocol, par 11.1 and related Annex 3. The patient will be informed about having been included in a clinical trial, as soon as she/he will regain consciousness.

Human Albumin In parallel with fluid administration for volume resuscitation, patients will receive 400 ml of 20% albumin solution both at randomization (D0) and at day 1 (D1). Subsequently, from day 2 (D2) until day 90 (D90) or ICU discharge (whichever comes first), 20% albumin will be administered on a daily basis, to maintain serum albumin concentration equal to or greater than 30 g/L, based upon serum albumin determination. Balanced crystalloid solutions According to the preference and the standard use of the participating center: Ringer Lactate Ringer Acetate Crystalsol
