Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Individualised MAP target

No Intervention: Standard MAP target - The comparator or the control group will be comprised of patients assigned to standard care, where vasopressor support will be titrated to maintain a default MAP of 65 mmHg, unless the treating clinician considers a different MAP target as more appropriate.

Active Comparator: Individualised MAP target - In the intervention arm, a patient's own pre-illness mean arterial pressure (MAP) would be targeted (range: 55-95 mmHg) during vasopressor support in ICU. The pre-illness MAP will be estimated from most recent pre-illness BP readings following a standardized method (Panwar et al,. Blood Press. 2017:1-9) and will be targeted for the duration of vasopressor therapy for up to a maximum of five days. The treating clinician can tailor these BP targets as deemed suitable for current clinical state. The type of vasopressor that will be used is at the discretion of the treating clinician.
Study intervention will cease if a patient is considered well enough by the treating clinician for discharge out of ICU. If a patient is transported out of ICU for procedural intervention, then standard (non-study) treatment should be provided.


Other interventions: Individualised MAP target
The project will test an intervention that initially targets a patient's own pre-illness mean arterial pressure (MAP) during vasopressor support in ICU. The pre-illness MAP will be estimated from the most recent pre-illness BP readings recorded in medical records.

Summary
Brief summary
Aim The aim of the proposed RCT is to determine effectiveness of a strategy, where MAP (mean
arterial blood pressure) targets during vasopressor therapy for shock in ICU are
individualized based on patients' own pre-illness MAP that would be derived as an average of
up to five most recent pre-illness blood pressure readings.

Hypothesis We hypothesize that targeting a patient's pre-illness MAP during management of
shock can minimize the degree of MAP-deficit (a measure of relative hypotension), which may
help reduce the risk of 14-day mortality and major adverse kidney events by day 14 in ICU.

Endpoints The primary endpoint will be the all-cause mortality rate at day 14. Secondary
endpoints will be the time to death through day 14 and day 90, major adverse kidney events
(MAKE-14), renal replacement therapy (RRT) free days until day 28, and 90-day all-cause
mortality.

Significance To date no major RCT has tested this strategy among ICU patients with shock.
This pivotal trial will provide evidence to fulfil a crucial knowledge gap regarding a common
and a fundamental intervention in critical care.
