Ketamine Versus Low Dose Thiopental for Induction of Anesthesia in Septic Shock
Septic ShockThe aim of this work is to compare two protocols (ketamine-fentanyl-midazolam versus thiopental-fentanyl-midazolam) for induction of anesthesia in patients with septic shock aiming to find the most safe protocol with regards to hemodynamic status of patients.
Dexmedetomidine on Microcirculation in Septic Shock
Septic ShockDexmedetomidine was found might be beneficial to sepsis. Dexmedetomidine were found to improve microcirculation in sepsis animal studies and non-sepsis patients. However, the effect of dexmedetomidine on microcirculation in septic shock patients is unknown.
Control of Fever in Septic Patients
SepsisSevere Sepsis1 moreThe benefits of fever treatment in critically ill patients remains unclear. The aim of the prospective, randomized clinical trial was to verify the hypothesis that the administration of ibuprofen in order to decrease the fever in septic patients without limited cardiorespiratory reserve leads to decreasing their prognosis.
Dexmedetomidine in Modifying Immune Paralysis In Patient With Septic Shock
Septic Shockin this study the investigators aim to assess the role of using dexmedetomidine as sedative in septic shock patients in comparison with midazolam. The investigators aim to assess the effect on immune response and inflammatory mediators and effect on vasopressors.
Norepinephrine / Vasopressin Combination for Resuscitation in Septic Shock
Septic ShockAcute Kidney InjuryAlthough norepinephrine is commonly used and is the recommended agent for the treatment of hypotension in volume-resuscitated hyperdynamic septic shock, Low doses of vasopressin may be added to norepinephrine to maintain arterial blood pressure in refractory septic shock and to decrease exposure to norepinephrine. The aim of the work is to compare the effect of norepinephrine alone and Norepinephrine/vasopressin combination on hemodynamics and tissue perfusion in septic shock patients.
Effects of Terlipressin on Renal Perfusion in Patients With Septic Shock
Septic ShockThis open-label, randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effect of a fixed dose of terlipressin added to usual care vs. usual care alone on renal perfusion in patients with septic shock.
Triple Therapy in Septic Shock Patients
Septic ShockSepsis1 morethis study is conducted to evaluate the role of the novel triple therapy combination in reducing the mortality rate, reducing the shock time, and reversal of organ damage. the study includes two arms, the first arm is the control which received hydrocortisone monotherapy and the second arm is the intervention arm which received the triple therapy regimen. calculation of 28 days in-hospital mortality is the primary outcome. shock time, vasopressor doses, infection markers, and organ function tests are the secondary outcomes. the data will be analyzed by student t-test or Mann Whitney test, Fischer exact or chi-square test for numbers, repeated measures ANOVA will be used to consider confounders and other parameters, mortality will be expressed by Kaplan Meier and ROC curve. For Multivariate analysis of repeated quantitative outcomes, linear mixed models were used to quantify the relationship between one dependent variable (SOFA, SCr, doses of vasopressors) and many independent variables including group type and sepsis phenotype adjusted to other clinical and demographic factors.
Efficacy of Mw Vaccine in Treatment of Severe Sepsis
Severe SepsisSeptic Shock1 moreStudy Hypothesis Enhancement of Th-1 response with the help of a poly TLR agonist (Mw) is likely to increase survival in patients with severe sepsis. Objectives To study whether immunomodulation with Mycobacterium Mw helps in improving survival and the recovery of organ function in patients with severe sepsis. This will be assessed with the help of the following Mortality in the two arms Daily SOFA scores Ventilator free days Time-to-vasopressor withdrawal ICU length of stay Hospital length of stay METHODS This will be a proof of the concept study to assess the effect of Mycobacterium w in combination with standard therapy versus standard therapy alone on the inflammatory profile in sepsis due to gram negative infection. A total of 25 patients will be enrolled in each group. The patients will be randomized in balance to receive either test drug or its placebo along with the standard of care
The Effects of Interferon-gamma on Sepsis-induced Immunoparalysis
SepsisSeptic ShockThe primary aim of this study is to assess the effects of adjunctive therapy with Interferon (IFN)-gamma on immune function in patients with septic shock in a placebo-controlled manner. Moreover, the investigators want to evaluate new markers that could be used to identify patients with immunoparalysis, and to monitor the patient's immunological response to IFN-γ. In addition, mechanistic studies will be performed to further elucidate mechanisms (such as epigenetic modifications) behind immunoparalysis and the effects of IFN-γ on these mechanisms. With use of the results the investigators will obtain in this pilot study, the investigators will conduct a large multicentre clinical trial with IFN-γ.
Investigating FE 202158 as Potential Primary Treatment in Patients With Early Septic Shock
Septic ShockThe purpose of this trial is to investigate the potential of FE 202158 as a treatment which can stabilize blood pressure for treatment of patients in early septic shock.
