Midodrine in the Recovery Phase of Septic Shock
- Registration Number
- NCT02990546
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Virginia
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of oral midodrine in the recovery of septic shock. The investigators hypothesize that the oral drug can reduce central line days and ICU length of stay.
- Detailed Description
The investigators aim to investigate the use of midodrine in the recovery phase of septic shock in a randomized control trial. The investigators hypothesize that midodrine use initiated after stabilization or improving intravenous vasopressor requirement will lead to decreased length of ICU stay and length of time that intravenous vasopressors are required.
The investigators plan to enroll and consent patients at the onset of septic shock. Once IV vasopressor requirement is stabilized or decreasing, males and females will be randomized in 1:1 fashion to receive either standard clinical care or standard clinical care plus oral midodrine. The investigators will analyze length of stay in the ICU, time on vasopressors, time needing a central line, and hospital length of stay.
