Study Arms (2)

Metoprolol

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will be administered IV Metoprolol tartrate 15 mg (3 ampoules of 5 ml) diluted in 100 ml of saline.

Drug: Metoprolol Injection

Saline

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants will be administered IV saline (0.9% sodium chloride) (3 ampoules of 5 ml) diluted in 100 ml of saline.

Drug: saline 0.9%

Interventions

A dilution of 15 mg Metoprolol tartrate in 100 ml saline shall be performed and infused for 10 minutes. No dose reduction or increase is allowed. Systolic blood pressure and heart rate shall be measured 3 and 6 minutes after starting the infusion. In case of a consistent drop in systolic blood pressure or heart rate, the infusion shall be stopped and the infusion noted.

Metoprolol

A dilution of 0.9% sodium chloride in 100 ml saline shall be performed and infused for 10 minutes. No dose reduction or increase is allowed. Systolic blood pressure and heart rate shall be measured 3 and 6 minutes after starting the infusion. In case of a consistent drop in systolic blood pressure below 110 mmHg or heart rate below 60 bpm, the infusion shall be stopped and the infusion noted.

Saline

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients (≥18 years and \<80 years) with a clinical diagnosis of ARDS of any aetiology (pneumonia, including SARS-CoV-2, sepsis, pancreatitis, bronchospasm and trauma) admitted to the ICU.
  • Orotracheal intubation (OTI) and mechanical ventilation within 72 hours prior to randomisation.
  • Moderate-severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2: ≤200 mmHg under standardised conditions (PEEP≥5 cm H2O).
  • Heart rate ≥ 60 bpm.
  • Invasive systolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg.

You may not qualify if:

  • Prolonged hospital admission prior to randomisation (i.e. ≥7 days at the time of randomisation).
  • Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF \<50%).
  • Life expectancy due to other processes (cancer, degenerative diseases, etc.) of less than 6 months.
  • Right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction.
  • Concomitant acute heart failure (cardiac index ≤2.5 L/m2 or pulmonary capillary pressure ≥15 mmHg or clinical suspicion).
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Cardiogenic shock.
  • Persistent invasive blood pressure \<110 mmHg despite vasopressor agents.
  • Use of noradrenaline at concentrations greater than 0.2 µg/kg/min at the time of the randomisation.
  • Use of dobutamine within 48 hours before randomisation.
  • Concomitant pulmonary embolism.
  • Known severe peripheral arterial disease.
  • Known asthma before admission (with active bronchodilator therapy).
  • Active beta-blocker treatment prior to admission (i.e. within 3 months prior to admission).
