Study summary

Cardiogenic shock is a frequent cause of admission and death in the intensive care unit.

Mortality is about 50%. Once the etiologic treatment has been done, for instance coronary revascularization, management of the shock state is the cornerstone of the treatment. Norepinephrine is the first-line vasopressor therapy because of its minor effect on heart rhythm. Morever norepinephrine is a inotrope. In a previous study, we demonstrated that increasing the norepinephrine dose increases cardiac index, cardiac power index, SVO2 and tissue perfusion without acceleration of heart rate. Nevertheless, dobutamine remains the first-line inotropic treatment. Dobutamine has a positive chronotropic effect that might cause higher myocardial oxygen consumption. As a result, combination of vasopressor / inotrope is still controversial.

The aim of this study was to compare hemodynamics and metabolics effects of 2 treatments strategies (norepinephrine dose increasing or addition of dobutamine) in patients with cardiogenic shock and optimised blood pressure level (MAP≥65 mmHg) under norepinephrine treatment.

The secondary objectives were :

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the treatments on micro- and macrocirculation parameters
  • To evaluate the tolerance of the treatments
  • To evaluate the dose and the admistration's kinetics of the treatments

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Norepinephrine alone

    Administration of norepinephrine with increasing dose

    Drug: Norepinephrine

  • Active comparator
    Norepinephrine plus Dobutamine

    Administration of norepinephrine and dobutamine

    Drug: Norepinephrine

Interventions

  • DrugNorepinephrine

    After obtention of a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg with infusion of norepinephrine, patients with cardiogenic shock receive for 3 hours either increasing doses of norepinephrine (with a maximal MAP of 85 mmHg) or dobutamine. There is a wash-out phase of 30 minutes (decrease of norepinephrine dose or weaning of dobutamine). The third phase of the study is the administration of the comparator treatment during 3 hours. After the 6.5 hours of the study, the hemodynamic management is up to the physician.

    Also known as: Dobutamine

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Obtention of a optimal cardiac output

    Measure of increase of cardiac index \> 15% (L/min/m²), increase of organ perfusion assessed by : lactate clearance \> 15% (mmoL/L), decrease of mottling (decrease of 2 points of Mottling score), increase of musculaire oxygen saturation measured by NIRS \> 15% (rSo2%), increase of urine output \> 50% (mL/h), increase of SVcO2 \> 15%(%) Evaluation of occurence of side effects : Increase of heart rate \> 15% (bpm) , increase of oxygen consumption evaluated by decrease of ratio mean arterial pressure / heart rate \> 15% (Buffington ratio). The primary endpoint is defined by the presence of 2 efficacy criterias without any side effects.
