What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EsmololDrug

    Also called β-blockers

    patients in the esmolol group received continuous infusion of esmolol via a micro-pump through a catheter placed in the superior vena cava. The initial dose was 0.05 mg/kg/min and was adjusted based on heart rate (HR) (target HR: 70 bpm < HR < 100 bpm within 72 hours).

    Control group also received natural saline via a micro pump, in the same way the esmolol group received esmolol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esmolol and natural saline in people with Severe Sepsis, run by Fujian Provincial Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The survival time of patients more than 28 days is defined as survival. The survival time of patients less than 28 days is defined as death. (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
