About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Severe Sepsis focused on measuring Goal-directed therapy, severe sepsis, emergency surgery, vasopressor, dynamic flow-related parameters

Arm Description

In the CONTROL group, the administration of fluid (250-500ml crystalloids or colloids) and cardiovascular supportive drugs will be guided to maintain standard pressure-related parameters within a normal range: MAP > 65mmHg, HR < 90/min, CVP >8-12< cm H20, urinary output > 0.5 ml/kg/h. In line with the conventional approach, other physiological parameters will also be targeted: T° > 35.5°C, Sp02 > 95%, lactate < 2.5 mmol/L, normalisation of the BE. The maximal infused volume of hydroxyethyl starch (Voluven®) will be 33 ml/kg. At the discretion of the attending anaesthesiologist with the FMH level, a pulmonary artery catheter, a transoesophageal Doppler flow probe or the PiCCO monitor will be inserted to complement the standard hemodynamic monitoring if deemed necessary.

In the OPTIMIZED group, the central venous catheter and the 4-French artery catheter (femoral or humeral access site) will be connected to a dedicated haemodynamic monitor (Pulsiocath, PV2024L; Pulsion Medical Systems AG, Munich, Germany). The administration of fluid (250-500ml crystalloids or colloids) and cardiovascular supportive drugs will be guided by an algorithm taking into account standard parameters (HR, MAP, lactate, Hb), as well as static and dynamic volumetric parameters (SVI, CI, GEDVI, EVLWI, SVV, PPV, PVI).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Delta lactate
The primary study endpoint will be the difference between the baseline arterial blood lactate at the time of randomization and the value of the arterial blood lactate at the time of transfer from the emergency operating room (∆ lactate).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Cardiovascular complications: myocardial infarct or congestive heart failure
Clinical outcome and surrogate biomarkers (Troponin-I and pro-BNP: day 1-2-3) will be recorded by extracting this specific data from the electronic medical file, until discharge, death or up to 28 days, whichever comes first.
Cerebral complications: stroke
Clinical outcomes at day 1-2-3 will be recorded by extracting this specific data from the electronic medical file, and until discharge, death or up to 28 days, whichever comes first.
Pulmonary complications: ALI/ARDS, bronchopneumonia
Clinical outcomes at day 1-2-3 will be recorded by extracting this specific data from the electronic medical file, and until discharge, death or up to 28 days, whichever comes first.
Pulmonary complications: respiratory insufficiency necessitating re-intubation
Clinical outcomes at day 1-2-3 will be recorded by extracting this specific data from the electronic medical file, and until discharge, death or up to 28 days, whichever comes first.
Surgical complications: re-operation for bleeding or infection
Clinical outcomes at day 1-2-3 will be recorded by extracting this specific data from the electronic medical file, and until discharge, death or up to 28 days, whichever comes first.
Renal complications: infection, urosepsis or renal insufficiency
Clinical outcome and surrogate biomarkers (Riffle score, creatinine: day 1-2-3) will be recorded by extracting this specific data from the electronic medical file, until discharge, death or up to 28 days, whichever comes first.
Duration of post-operative mechanical ventilation: in hours
Clinical outcomes at day 1-2-3 will be recorded by extracting this specific data from the electronic medical file, and until discharge, death or up to 28 days, whichever comes first.
Total duration of ventilation : days
Clinical outcomes (ventilation free days) will be recorded by extracting this specific data from the electronic medical file, and until discharge, death or up to 28 days, whichever comes first.
Length of stay in the ICU: in days
Length of stay in hospital: in days
