Brief Summary

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

This study assesses the mean difference in fluid balance at ICU discharge and associated patient outcomes, based on a dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness in septic patients with refractory hypotension in an ICU setting.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Multi-center randomized study comparing dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness utilizing Starling SV monitor compared to a control group.

Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 treatment to control group ratio to increase power for sub-analysis by patient population.

Patients randomized to the Starling SV arm will have treatment guided by a dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness (measured by a change in stroke volume index \> 10%) as assessed by passive leg raise (PLR).

Patients randomized to the control group will receive standard of care treatment.

Study Groups

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

Treatment Starling SV monitor

A dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness using the Starling SV monitor will be performed at every clinical decision point for the first 72 hours of study enrollment. Examples of a clinical decision point include a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of \< 65, the decision to give additional fluid volume, and the decision to either escalate or wean vasopressors. Fluid responsiveness will be assessed using a passive leg raise (PLR) to guide corresponding treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Treatment Starling SV monitor

Intervention Type DEVICE

A dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness will be performed at every clinical decision point for the first 72 hours of study enrollment. Fluid responsiveness will be assessed using a passive leg raise (PLR) and Starling SV hemodynamic monitor to guide corresponding treatment.

Control

No required therapeutic protocol will be used for patient treatment, and is determined per the discretion of the physician and hospital standards.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
