PHASE3

Brief Summary

Multicenter, prospective, phase 3 randomized non-blinded interventional trial of fluid treatment strategies in the first 24 hours for patients with sepsis-induced hypotension. The aim of the study is ...

Detailed Description

Primary Hypothesis: Restrictive (vs liberal) fluid treatment strategy during the first 24 hours of resuscitation for sepsis-induced hypotension will reduce 90-day in-hospital mortality. 1. We will em...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • A suspected or confirmed infection (broadly defined by administration or planned administration of antibiotics)
  • Sepsis-induced hypotension defined as systolic blood pressure \< 100 mmHg or MAP \< 65 mmHg after a minimum of at least 1 liter of fluid (\*Fluids inclusive of pre-hospital fluids; blood pressure must be below any known or reported pre-morbid baseline).

Exclusion

  • More than 4 hours elapsed since meeting inclusion criteria or 24 hours elapsed since admission to the hospital
  • Patient already received 3 liters of intravenous fluid (includes prehospital volumes)
  • Unable to obtain informed consent
  • Known pregnancy
  • Hypotension suspected to be due to non-sepsis cause (e.g. hemorrhagic shock)
  • Blood pressure is at known or reported baseline level
  • Severe Volume Depletion from an acute condition other than sepsis. In the judgment of the treating physician, the patient has an acute condition other than sepsis causing (or indicative) of \*severe volume depletion; Examples include: Diabetic ketoacidosis, high volume vomiting or diarrhea, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, and nonexertional hyperthermia (heat stroke); severe is defined by the need for substantial intravenous fluid administration as part of routine clinical care
  • Pulmonary edema or clinical signs of new fluid overload (e.g. bilateral crackles, new oxygen requirement, new peripheral edema, fluid overload on chest x-ray)
  • Treating physician unwilling to give additional fluids as directed by the liberal protocol
  • Treating physician unwilling to use vasopressors as directed by the restrictive protocol.
  • Current or imminent decision to withhold most/all life-sustaining treatment; this does not exclude those patients committed to full support except cardiopulmonary resuscitation
  • Immediate surgical intervention planned such that study procedures could not be followed
  • Prior enrollment in this study
