Norepinephrine Weaning in Septic Patients
Phase 4
Completed
- Conditions
- Septic Shock
- Interventions
- Device: norepinephrine infused under computerized fuzzy logic controlDevice: norepinephrine infused at the clinician's discretion
- Registration Number
- NCT00763906
- Lead Sponsor
- Association pour le Développement de la Recherche et de l'Enseignement en Médecine d'Urgence
- Brief Summary
The weaning rate of vasopressors drugs is usually chosen empirically by the clinician in critically patients. The investigators applied fuzzy logic principles to modify intravenous norepinephrine infusion rates during norepinephrine infusion in septic patients in order to reduce the duration of shock. The investigators goal was to reduce the duration of poorly controlled hemodynamic status.
