Official title
Safety of Heparin Anticoagulation for Prevention of Death in Patients With Septic Shock.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Sepsis is a syndrome comprised of a systemic inflammatory response, signs of tissue hypoperfusion, and organ in the setting of presumed infection. Heparin, in addition to being an anticoagulant, is also a well-known antiinflammatory. The investigators believe that unfractionated heparin has the potential to save the lives of septic patients at a drastically reduced cost. This is a dose escalation study to determine the safety of increasing levels of heparin in this patient population; compare markers of anticoagulation and inflammation between treatment groups; and compare clinical outcomes between groups.
