Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of administration associated adverse events.

    1. Acute myocardial infarction (MI) within 48 hours of study drug administration 2. Acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 48 hours of study drug administration 3. New onset atrial or ventricular arrhythmia requiring direct current (DC) cardioversion within 48 hours of study drug administration 4. Increased oxygenation requirements defined as: an increase in fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of greater than or equal to 0.2 AND increase in PEEP greater than or equal to 5 cm of water (H2O) within 6 hours of study drug administration 5. Increase in any protocol-specified measurement of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) greater than or equal to 10% 6. Increase in lactate by greater than or equal to 2 mmol/L within 6 hours of study drug administration

    60 Days if remains in the ICU

  • Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs).

    An SAE is any event that is fatal or immediately life threatening, is permanently disabling, or severely incapacitating, or requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered SAEs when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    60 Days if remains in the ICU

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Comparison between the calculated carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level at 90 minutes using the Coburn-Forster-Kane (CFK) equation and measured COHb level at 90 minutes

    5 days

  • Mean daily Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score

    7 days

  • Partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2)/FiO2 ratio

    5 days

  • Oxygenation index (OI)

    5 days

  • Lung injury score (LIS)

    7 Days

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Plasma biomarkers of inflammation, lung epithelial injury,endothelial injury, markers of change in other end-organ function

    5 days

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with sepsis are defined as those with suspected or documented infection:
  • Suspected or proven infection: Sites of infection include thorax, urinary tract, abdomen, skin, sinuses, central venous catheters, and central nervous system
  • All eligible patients meet the new definition of sepsis (suspected or proven infection and a SOFA ≥ 2) as PaO2/FiO2 ratio \< 300 = 2 SOFA points.
  • ARDS is defined when all four of the following criteria are met:
  • A PaO2/FiO2 ratio ≤ 300 with at least 5 cm H2O positive end-expiratory airway pressure (PEEP)
  • Bilateral infiltrates consistent with pulmonary edema on frontal chest radiograph
  • A need for positive pressure ventilation by an endotracheal or tracheal tube
  • No clinical evidence of left atrial hypertension for bilateral pulmonary infiltrates.
  • ARDS onset is defined as the time the last of criteria 1-4 are met. ARDS must persist through the enrollment time window of 120 hours.
  • Infiltrates considered "consistent with pulmonary edema" include any infiltrates not fully explained by mass, atelectasis, or effusion or opacities known to be chronic (greater than 1 week). Vascular redistribution, indistinct vessels, and indistinct heart borders alone are not considered "consistent with pulmonary edema" and thus would not count as qualifying opacities for this study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Age less than 18 years
  • Greater than 120 hours since ARDS onset
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Prisoner
  • Patient, surrogate, or physician not committed to full support (exception: a patient will not be excluded if he/she would receive all supportive care except for attempts at resuscitation from cardiac arrest)
  • No consent/inability to obtain consent
  • Physician refusal to allow enrollment in the trial
  • Moribund patient not expected to survive 24 hours
  • No arterial line/no intent to place an arterial line
  • No intent/unwillingness to follow lung protective ventilation strategy
  • Severe hypoxemia defined as oxygenation saturation (SpO2) \<95 or PaO2 \<80 on FiO2 ≥0.8
  • Hemoglobin \< 7.5 g/dl or hemoglobin \< 8 g/dl and actively bleeding
  • Subjects who are Jehovah's Witnesses or are otherwise unable or unwilling to receive blood transfusions during hospitalization
  • Acute myocardial infarction (MI) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) within the last 90 days
  • Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery within 30 days
  • +8 more criteria
