Norepinephrine vs Norepinephrine and Dobutamine in Cardiogenic Shock

Phase 3
Conditions
Cardiogenic Shock
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03340779
Lead Sponsor
Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Brief Summary

Cardiogenic shock is a frequent cause of admission and death in the intensive care unit.

Mortality is about 50%. Once the etiologic treatment has been done, for instance coronary revascularization, management of the shock state is the cornerstone of the treatment. Norepinephrine is the first-line vasopressor therapy because of its minor effect on heart rhythm. Morever norepinephrine is a inotrope. In a previous study, we demonstrated that increasing the norepinephrine dose increases cardiac index, cardiac power index, SVO2 and tissue perfusion without acceleration of heart rate. Nevertheless, dobutamine remains the first-line inotropic treatment. Dobutamine has a positive chronotropic effect that might cause higher myocardial oxygen consumption. As a result, combination of vasopressor / inotrope is still controversial.

The aim of this study was to compare hemodynamics and metabolics effects of 2 treatments strategies (norepinephrine dose increasing or addition of dobutamine) in patients with cardiogenic shock and optimised blood pressure level (MAP≥65 mmHg) under norepinephrine treatment.

The secondary objectives were :

* To evaluate the efficacy of the treatments on micro- and macrocirculation parameters

* To evaluate the tolerance of the treatments

* To evaluate the dose and the admistration's kinetics of the treatments

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Obtention of a optimal cardiac outputHour 0 (H0), Hour 1, Hour 3, Hour 3.5, Hour 4,5, Hour 5.5, Hour 6.5

Measure of increase of cardiac index \> 15% (L/min/m²), increase of organ perfusion assessed by : lactate clearance \> 15% (mmoL/L), decrease of mottling (decrease of 2 points of Mottling score), increase of musculaire oxygen saturation measured by NIRS \> 15% (rSo2%), increase of urine output \> 50% (mL/h), increase of SVcO2 \> 15%(%)

Evaluation of occurence of side effects :

Increase of heart rate \> 15% (bpm) , increase of oxygen consumption evaluated by decrease of ratio mean arterial pressure / heart rate \> 15% (Buffington ratio).

The primary endpoint is defined by the presence of 2 efficacy criterias without any side effects.
