Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

After cardiac surgery, vasoplegic syndrome is a hemodynamic state characterized by profound hypotension associated with a decrease in systemic vascular resistance. The care of this disease is based on the intravenous administration of a vasopressor, usually norepinephrine. During the recovery phase, weaning of norepinephrine, is an important step in which any lack of preload (blood volume) initial or secondary can be, and increase tissue malperfusion.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

administration of norepinephrine by dynamic elastance

The norepinephrine weaning strategy is based on an index that reflects the vasomotor tone: dynamic arterial elastance

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Norepinephrine

Intervention Type DRUG

Administration and weaning of norepinephrine is based on dynamic arterial elastance

control administration of norepinephrine

The usual procedure of withdrawal norepinephrine is based on hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure), clinical (cutaneous perfusion, mottling, hourly diuresis) and biological (SVO2, arterial lactate).

Group Type OTHER

Norepinephrine

Intervention Type DRUG

The usual procedure of withdrawal norepinephrine is based on hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure, cardiac output), clinical (cutaneous perfusion, mottling, hourly diuresis) and biological (SVO2, arterial lactate).
