Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The survival time of patients more than 28 days is defined as survival. The survival time of patients less than 28 days is defined as death.

    28 days

Study Arms (2)

esmolol group

EXPERIMENTAL

patients in the esmolol group received continuous infusion of esmolol via a micro-pump through a catheter placed in the superior vena cava.

Drug: Esmolol

control group

SHAM COMPARATOR

Control group also received natural saline via a micro pump, in the same way the esmolol group received esmolol.

Drug: natural saline

Interventions

patients in the esmolol group received continuous infusion of esmolol via a micro-pump through a catheter placed in the superior vena cava. The initial dose was 0.05 mg/kg/min and was adjusted based on heart rate (HR) (target HR: 70 bpm \< HR \< 100 bpm within 72 hours). Control group also received natural saline via a micro pump, in the same way the esmolol group received esmolol.
