About this study

Our hypothesis is that hemodynamic fluid resuscitation guided by dynamic parameters will improve outcome in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, by limiting the deleterious effects of fluid overload.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the efficacy of dynamic parameters versus static measures to guide fluid resuscitation we pretend to detect a 10% relative reduction in mortality. In addition, we pretend to observe an improvement on the length of resuscitation time, mechanical ventilation and vasopressor support-free days, ICU and hospital length of stay, organ failure and renal function.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dynamic-parameters-guided fluid managementBehavioural

    ● In preload-responsive patients defined by the following dynamic parameters: Patients fully adapted to mechanical ventilation* and with sinus rhythm.

    1. PPV >12%. PPV: Pulse pressure variation PPV = (PPmax-PPmin)/ [(PPmax+PPmin)/2] x100 (during 5 respiratory cycles)
    2. SVV > 12% (15). SVV: Stroke volume variation
    • A tidal volume (Vt) ≥ 7-10cc/kg in mechanically ventilated (in a controlled mode - control volume or control pressure) and well-adapted patients without any inspiratory effort should be guaranteed.

    Fluid loading must be performed with crystalloids (1omL/Kg) or colloids (5ml/Kg) every 30 minutes until PPV-SVV < 12%, while hypoperfusion signs are present. Continue resuscitation following Surviving Sepsis Campaign rules excluding more fluid administration (as described in the standard intervention once CVP>12).

    ● Non-preload responsive patients (defined as PPV or SVV < 12%) will resume the same protocol as responders when fluid response parameters are negative.

  • Standard-guided-fluid managementBehavioural

    Fluid loading in patients with hypotension or elevated lactates until normalization of MAP (> 65mmHg) or CVP > 12mmHg. If CVP reaches > 12 mmHg and MAP remains < 65mmHg, norepinephrine should be started to reach MAP > 65mmHg. Once MAP is restored, if hypoperfusion signs persist (elevated lactate or urine output < 0.5mL/Kg/h), ScvO2/SvO2 must be measured. In order to reach a ScvO2 ≥70% or SVO2 ≥65%, consider giving blood transfusion if hemoglobin level (Hb) ≤ 7g/dL, and also consider dobutamine (initial dose 2,5 µg/kg/min, increased by 2,5 µg/kg/min every 30 min up to a maximum dose of 20 µg/kg/min, presence of arrhythmia, or FC>110bpm). At that point, if hypoperfusion signs remain present, consider restart protocol from the beginning.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mortality at 28 days

    Measured: 28 days after hospital admission

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Length of resuscitation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dynamic-parameters-guided fluid management and Standard-guided-fluid management in people with Hemodynamics, run by Corporacion Parc Tauli at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xaime Garcia, MD (+34937231010 ext. 21156, xgarcia@tauli.cat), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality at 28 days (time frame: 28 days after hospital admission). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Feb 2014.
