ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Cirrhosis With Septic Shock.
Intervention: Terlipressin (Drug); Noradrenaline (Drug)
Phase: N/A
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, India
Summary
The Patient evaluated in Emergency room since admission and detailed history and clinical
examination done .The in hospital cases where sepsis is the culprit and shifted to Intensive
Care Unit (ICU) in view of septic shock were included since onset of shock.
Initial fluid resuscitation done and if the patient were no fluid responsive they were
randomized into arms noradrenaline or terlipressin and the dose escalated to achieve the
primary objectives. At the same time the strict vitals monitoring and standard medical
therapy for sepsis including antibiotics and other supportive therapy continued. The
patients were followed up till discharge, death or up to 28days after enrollment into the
protocol (whichever the longest). The detail methodology has been explained in column 14
later.
