Effects of Voluven on Hemodynamics and Tolerability of Enteral Nutrition in Patients With Severe Sepsis

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Sepsis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00464204
Lead Sponsor
Fresenius Kabi
Brief Summary

The rapidity and the quality of fluid resuscitation in patients with severe sepsis are important factors for the prevention of secondary multi-organ failure. Vascular filling may also have an impact on tolerability of enteral nutrition. The earliness and quantity of calories provided by enteral nutrition may have an impact on morbidity and mortality. This study will asses the effects of volume expansion on hemodynamics and tolerability of enteral nutrition in patients with severe sepsis. A Data Monitoring Committee will review regularly safety data of the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Amount of Study Drug Required to Achieve Initial Hemodynamic Stabilizationuntil hemodynamic stabilization (up to 48 hours)

Initial hemodynamic stabilization (HDS) was defined as normalization of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and at least two of the three parameters central venous pressure (CVP), urine output and central venous oxygen saturation and maintaining this normalization over a period of four hours, with no increase in the infusion of vasopressors, or ionotropic therapy and with no more than 1 L of additional study drug administration within these four hours.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time From Start of Fluid Resuscitation With Study Drug to the Initial Hemodynamic Stabilizationuntil hemodynamic stabilization (up to 48 hours)

Time from start of fluid resuscitation with study drug to the initial hemodynamic stabilization

Quantity of Study Drug in 4 Days4 days

Total quantity of study drug infused over four consecutive days in the ICU

Time From Start of Study Drug to Start of Enteral Nutrition in the Subgroup of Patients Who Received Enteral NutritionUntil start of enteral nutrition (up to 48 hours)

Time from start of fluid resuscitation with study drug to start of enteral nutrition.

Time From Start of Fluid Resuscitation With Study Drug to Start of Enteral Nutrition After Hemodynamic Stabilizationup to 48 hours

Administration of enteral nutrition before initial hemodynamic stabilization was ignored in this analysis.

Total Amount of Enteral Calories During the First Seven Days of Enteral Nutrition7 days

This amount will be calculated from start of enteral nutrition until 7 am of day 8

Length of Stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)Until discharge from ICU (up to day 90)

Length of stay was analysed in two approaches. First, it was calculated and analysed only for patients who did not die before end of study of the individual patient. As a sensitivity analysis, the analysis was carried out including patients who died with the maximum possible length of stay (i.e., the worst possible value).

Length of Stay in the HospitalUntil discharge from hospital (up to day 90)

Length of stay was analysed in two approaches. First, it was calculated and analysed only for patients who did not die before end of study of the individual patient. As a sensitivity analysis, the analysis was carried out including patients who died with the maximum possible length of stay (i.e., the worst possible value).

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score Per Day From Screening to Day 4From Screening to Day 4

The Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in this study is reported for entire days, not for exact time points on a day. Potentially, more than one SOFA score may be available for the same day. In this case, the mean of the respective total scores was used for that day for calculation of Area Under the Curve (AUC).

The SOFA score includes sub-scores for Respiration, Coagulation, Liver, Cardiovascular, Central Nervous System and Renal function and may range from 0 (worst outcome) to 4 (best outcome).
