Hypertonic Saline and Terlipressin for Sepsis-associated Hypotension
- Conditions
- Septic ShockSepsis-associated Hypotension
- Interventions
- Drug: Hypertonic Saline and Terlipressin
- Registration Number
- NCT01271114
- Lead Sponsor
- Hospital General de Ciudad Real
- Brief Summary
In hypotensive septic patients with controlled source, an hemodynamic management protocol including hypertonic saline (HS)and terlipressin improves MOD (Multiple Organ Dysfunction) Score by at least 3 points compared to the use of physiologic saline and norepinephrine.
The appropriate design for this trial would be factorial. For the time being, will consider de intervention as a whole unit for this pilot study. In the future an appropriately sized factorial multicentric study shall be necessary.
Other goals of the pilot study:
1. HS restores preload parameters adequately
2. HS associated with terlipressin normalizes blood pressure in septic shock
3. HS associated with terlipressin maintains plasma sodium levels 130-155mEq/L
4. There is an inverse relationship between plasma sodium and procalcitonin levels
5. HS increases plasma levels of vasopressin (AVP)
6. HS rises levels of cortisol but not of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

Name Time Method MOD (Multiple Organ Dysfunction) Score daily, as long as the patient stays in the ICU
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hypertonic Saline restores IV fluid response parameters (Pulse Pressure Variation or Systolic Volume Variation) adequately First 48 hours Hypertonic Saline associated with terlipressin maintains plasma sodium levels 130-155mEq/L As long as Hypertonic saline plus terlipressin are in use and one week later There is an inverse relationship between plasma sodium and plasma procalcitonin levels measured by a negative Pearson coefficient As long as the patient stays in the ICU Hypertonic Saline associated with terlipressin normalizes blood pressure in septic shock First 48 hours Hypertonic Saline boluses increases plasma levels of vasopressin (AVP) First week in ICU Hypertonic Saline use rises levels of cortisol but not of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) First week in ICU
