Effect of Targeting Upper Normal Serum Magnesium Levels on Norepinephrine Requirements in Septic Shock Patients

Conditions: Septic Shock, Sepsis

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 60
Sponsor: Alexandria University

Location: Alexandria Main University Hospital Alexandria Alexandria Governorate

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of targeting upper normal serum magnesium levels on norepinephrine requirements in adult patients with septic shock. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does maintaining upper normal serum magnesium levels lower the total cumulative dose and duration of norepinephrine therapy? 2. Does this approach reduce the intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation and mortality? This study will compare an intervention group to a control group to see the effect of targeting upper normal serum magnesium levels. Participants will: * Have their serum magnesium levels assessed at baseline (Day 0), at three-day intervals (Days 3, 6, 9) thereafter and on the day of norepinephrine discontinuation. * Receive individualized intravenous magnesium sulfate infusions to achieve and maintain the target serum magnesium levels. * Have their demographic data collected and be monitored closely for clinical data, vital signs, Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), urine output and laboratory parameters.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female adult patients (aged ≥18 years) diagnosed with septic shock. * Resistant septic shock that requires corticosteroids. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy. * Baseline hypermagnesemia (serum magnesium level \> 2.3 mg/dL). * Renal impairment with creatinine clearance (CrCl) \< 10 ml/min. * Mixed shock.
