Registration Number
NCT05122884
Lead Sponsor
Mahidol University
Brief Summary

Sepsis is one of the most serious healthcare problems, worldwide, and financial burdens.

The overall mortality of severe sepsis/septic shock was 44.5-52.6%. A common cause of death is refractory shock and multi-organ failure. Myocardial dysfunction is a relatively common complication of septic shock. This causes a decrease in the amount of cardiac output, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the organ and multi-organ failure and lead to death Early goal-directed therapy began to use dobutamine in patients with septic shock Sepsis Survival Campaign Guideline 2016 recommended drug is dobutamine and an alternative drug is milrinone in septic shock patients with clinical signs of poor tissue perfusion.

Detailed Description

According to several studies, the use of dobutamine increases the amount of cardiac output but it has also been reported to increase mortality rates too. There are few studies of milrinone in patients with septic shock.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Milrinone groupMilrinoneThe pharmacist prepares milrinone 20 mg with normal saline solution (NSS) 100 ml then starts dose 0.5 mg/kg/min for up to 12 hours. The doctor performs Echocardiogram before start Milrinone, during infusion, and after 12 hours from stop Milrinone. Other medications or interventions were used or not used depending on own doctor.
Placebo groupMilrinoneThe pharmacist uses 100 ml of NSS, packed out in the same format, dose, and administration of the drug were exactly the same as in the milrinone group. The doctor performs Echocardiogram same time as the milrinone group
