Effect of Early Use of Levosimendan Versus Placebo on Top of a Conventional Strategy of Inotrope Use on a Combined Morbidity-mortality Endpoint in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock

Обзор

Cardiogenic shock (CS) mortality remains high (40%). Despite their frequent use, few clinical outcome data are available to guide the initial selection of vasoactive drug therapies in patients with CS. Based on experts' opinions, the combination of norepinephrine-dobutamine is generally recommended as a first line strategy. Inotropic agents increase myocardial contractility, thereby increasing cardiac output. Dobutamine is commonly recommended to be the inotropic agent of choice and levosimendan is generally used following dobutamine failure. It may represent an ideal agent in cardiogenic shock, since it improves myocardial contractility without increasing cAMP or calcium concentration. At present, there are no convincing data to support a specific inotropic agent in patients with cardiogenic shock. Our hypothesis is that the early use of levosimendan, by enabling the discontinuation of dobutamine, would accelerate the resolution of signs of low cardiac output and facilitate myocardial recovery.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Levosimendan 2.5 MG/ML Injectable Solution
  Levosimendan will be diluted with Glucose G5%. The reconstitution of levosimendan will be performed, as close as possible to the start of the infusion. A continuous infusion of levosimendan will be administered over 24 h without bolus, started at a rate of 0.1 μg per kilogram of body weight per minute and, in both the persistence of hypoperfusion signs and in the absence of rate-limiting side effects, will be increased after 2 to 4 hours to a maximum of 0.2 μg per kilogram per minute for a furth
• Препарат Placebo
  Placebo will be diluted with Glucose G5%. The reconstitution of Placebo will be performed, as close as possible to the start of the infusion. A continuous infusion of Placebo will be administered over 24 h without bolus, started at a rate of 0.1 μg per kilogram of body weight per minute and, in both the persistence of hypoperfusion signs and in the absence of rate-limiting side effects, will be increased after 2 to 4 hours to a maximum of 0.2 μg per kilogram per minute for a further 20 to 22 hou
