Abstract
In sepsis, optimizing mean arterial pressure (MAP) for organ perfusion remains challenging. We conduct a single-center, single-blind, parallel-group randomized controlled trial enrolling 274 sepsis patients to evaluate whether renal resistive index (RRI)-guided MAP titration (MAP titration group, MTG) reduces 28-day all-cause mortality (primary endpoint) compared with conventional treatment (conventional treatment group, CTG). Post-titration, RRI decreases significantly in the MTG versus CTG (0.61 vs. 0.67, P < 0.001). However, 28-day mortality does not differ (25/138 vs. 36/136; RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.44-1.08; P = 0.11). These findings suggest that RRI-guided MAP titration improves renal hemodynamics but does not reduce mortality in this single-center trial; multicenter confirmation is warranted.

在脓毒症中,优化器官灌注的平均动脉压(MAP)仍然具有挑战性。我们进行了一项单中心、单盲、平行组随机对照试验,纳入274例脓毒症患者,以评估肾抵抗指数(RRI)引导的MAP滴定(MAP滴定组,MTG)与常规治疗(常规治疗组,CTG)相比,是否能降低28天全因死亡率(主要终点)。滴定后,MTG组与CTG组相比,RRI显著降低(0.61比0.67,P < 0.001)。然而,28天死亡率没有差异(25/138 vs. 36/136; RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.44-1.08; P = 0.11)。这些发现表明,在这项单中心试验中,磁共振引导的MAP滴定可改善肾脏血流动力学,但不能降低死亡率;多中心确认是必要的。(中国临床试验注册中心,ChiCTR2200057136,注册日期为2022年3月1日;https://www.chictr.org.cn/showprojEN.html?proj=153154)。
