Purpose
The present study was conducted as a prospective, randomized, controlled study to compare:
| Condition | Intervention | Phase |
|---|---|---|
|
Septic Shock |
Drug: Phenylephrine Drug: Norepinephrine |
Phase II |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study |
| Official Title: | Phenylephrine Versus Norepinephrine in Septic Shock: Effects on Systemic and Regional Hemodynamics. A Randomized, Controlled, Trial |
| Enrollment: | 32 |
| Study Start Date: | November 2007 |
| Study Completion Date: | June 2008 |
| Primary Completion Date: | June 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
1: Experimental
Phenylephrine
|
Drug: Phenylephrine
Titrated phenylephrine to maintain mean arterial pressure between 65-75 mmHg over a period of 12 hours from the onset of septic shock.
|
|
2: Active Comparator
Norepinephrine
|
Drug: Norepinephrine
Titrated norepinephrine to maintain mean arterial pressure between 65-75 mmHg over a period of 12 hours from the onset of septic shock.
|
Thirty two septic shock patients requiring vasopressor support to maintain mean arterial pressure between 65 and 75 mmHg despite adequate volume resuscitation will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomly allocated to be treated with either a) titrated phenylephrine, b) titrated norepinephrine (control; each n = 16), to achieve a mean arterial pressure (MAP) between 65 and 75 mmHg, if necessary. Data from right heart catheterization, thermo-dye dilution catheter, gastric tonometry as well as data from organ function, will be obtained at baseline and after 12 hours.
