COMPACT - COMbining Plasma-filtration and Adsorption Clinical Trial

ShockSeptic

The study objective is to clarify whether the application of CPFA (coupled plasma-filtration adsorption) in addition to the current clinical practice is able to reduce mortality and prevent organ failures in septic shock patients in intensive care unit (ICU).

Optimization of Fluid Therapy in Sepsis by a Passive Leg Raising Test

ShockSeptic

A randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate whether a passive leg raising test to guide fluid therapy of patients with septic shock can reduce fluid balance and weight gain. Patients will be treated according to an algorithm in which the indexed stroke volume (stroke volume related to body surface area) and mean arterial pressure will guide the timing and amount of fluid and the use of inotropic and vasoactive support. Patients will be randomized to either an intervention group in which a passive leg raising test will be made prior to any decision for fluid administration or to a control group where this test is not performed and fluid administration is carried out according to standard of care at the department. Hypothesis: A passive leg raising test, will reduce weight gain by day 3 by 30%.

Optimized Caloric-proteic Nutrition in Septic and Septic Shock Patients

SepsisSeptic Shock

In this pilot randomized prospective controlled trial the investigators intend to compare the use of a nutritional therapy based on caloric intake determined by indirect calorimetry and high protein intake with nutritional regimen based on 25 Kcal / kg / day and protein intake usually recommended for critically ill patients (1.4 to 1.5 grams / kg / day of protein).

Ketamine Versus Fentanyl for Induction of Anesthesia in Septic Shock

Septic Shock

The aim of this work is to compare two protocols (ketamine-midazolam versus 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

Treatment of Patients With Early Septic Shock and Bio-Adrenomedullin(ADM) Concentration > 70 pg/ml...

Septic Shock

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter proof of concept and dose-finding phase II study using two doses of ADRECIZUMAB in patients with early septic shock and a bio-ADM plasma concentration at admission of > 70 pg/ml.

Ketamine Versus Low Dose Thiopental for Induction of Anesthesia in Septic Shock

Septic Shock

The 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.

Hemodynamic Effects of Dexmedetomidine in Septic Shock

Septic Shock

The current treatment regimen of patients with septic shock requires a sufficient hemodynamic support aiming to preserve tissue oxygen requirements and perfusion. Therefore, aggressive fluid challenge and vasopressor agents play a pivotal role. To increase total peripheral resistance and preserve organ perfusion, a continuous infusion of catecholamines is often needed. Because sepsis is usually associated with adrenergic receptor and post-receptor abnormalities, the efficacy of such treatment regimens often gradually decreases over time, thereby complicating hemodynamic support. Experimental evidence suggest that α-2 agonists increase pressor responsiveness following lipopolysaccharide administration. This study will assess the effects of the sedation with dexmedetomidine (α-2 agonist) on norepinephrine requirements in patients with septic shock.

Study the Impact of Statins in Septic Shock

Septic Shock

Sepsis is a common, expensive, frequently fatal and highly complex inflammatory syndrome wherein multiple cellular and humoral pathways are involved. Since it's a multifactorial syndrome merely blocking one of the various inflammatory pathways may not suffice to provide effective treatment and this may partly explain why most of the adjunctive therapies developed for severe sepsis have yielded disappointing results in rigorous clinical trials. Statins have varied pleiotropic effects on the inflammatory mediators and there addition to the current adjuvant therapies in septic shock may help in reduction of mortality. The present trial aims to study survival benefit and changes in bio-marker levels in septic shock. Adult patients (>=18 years) in septic shock and admitted to ICU will be included in the study. Patients will be randomized as per computer generated random number into the Drug (Atorvastatin, 40 mg) or matched placebo group. Drug or placebo will be given to selected patient via nasogastric tube for 7 days. Bio markers (Il-6, TNF-alpha) estimated during the trial week (Days 1, 4, and 7). All clinical and study personnel and patients remained blinded to the study group assignment throughout the trial.

Microcirculation After MAP Increase in Septic Shock Patients With Previous Hypertension

Septic Shock

The optimal levels of mean arterial pressure that must be achieved in septic shock are subject of debate. Studies tried to correlate blood pressure increase in patients with septic shock with microcirculation. However, there are few studies that specifically assessed septic shock patients with previous arterial hypertension. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of increased blood pressure level in the microcirculation of these patients and compare them with patients without arterial hypertension.
