Modulation of Vasoreactivity in Septic Shock: Impact of Recombinant Protein C

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Septic Shock
Interventions
Device: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
Biological: Blood sample
Registration Number
NCT02885168
Lead Sponsor
Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Brief Summary

The purpose is to demonstrate that vasoreactivity of patients with septic shock evaluated with dose-response curve is diminished in septic shock and ameliorated by activated protein C (APC).

This amelioration is correlated to decrease of inflammation, decrease of reactive oxygen species (ROS) markers and increase of circulating catecholamines.
