Brief Summary

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the maladjusted response of the host to infection. It is a clinical syndrome with high mortality. Studies have confirmed that many cytokines play a vital role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Ulinastatin (UTI) is a glycoprotein that exists in human blood and can be isolated and purified from human urine. It is a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor. Previous studies have shown that Ulinastatin may have the effect of treating sepsis. 120 septic patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome would be recruited and randomly assigned to the ordinary dose group, high dose group and placebo control group according to the ratio of 1:1:1. The trial will be followed up on days 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 28. Sofa on day 7 compared with baseline and all-cause mortality on day 28 were investigated to explore the efficacy of ulinastatin in the treatment of adult sepsis patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome.

Study Arms (3)

normal dose

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients would be given 400000 units of ulinastatin (specification: 100000 units / vial) dissolved in 50 ml of 0.9% normal saline intravenously for at least 1 hour, once every 8 hours. It is evaluated by the attending doctor every day. When the patient does not have systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), halve the dose and continue to use it for 2 days, with a total course of treatment of at least 3 days

Drug: Ulinastatin

high dose

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients would be given 800000 units of ulinastatin (specification: 100000 units / vial) dissolved in 50 ml of 0.9% normal saline intravenously for at least 1 hour, once every 8 hours. It is evaluated by the attending doctor every day. When the patient does not have systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), halve the dose and continue to use it for 2 days, with a total course of treatment of at least 3 days

Drug: Ulinastatin

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

Patients would be given 400000 or 800000units of ulinastatin (specification: 100000 units / vial) dissolved in 50 ml of 0.9% normal saline intravenously for at least 1 hour, once every 8 hours. It is evaluated by the attending doctor every day.
