NCT07519226

Brief Summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate whether the M1/M3-selective antagonist penehyclidine hydrochloride could more effectively reverse pediatric microcirculatory dysfunction than traditional atropine, particularly when macrohemodynamics appear normalized.

Eligibility Criteria

Age28 Days - 18 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • pediatric patients (aged 28 days to 18 years) admitted with shock who exhibited persistent microcirculatory impairment despite achieving macrohemodynamic stability (normalized mean arterial pressure) through standardized initial resuscitation.
  • presence of at least one of the following clinical markers: (1) capillary refill time (CRT)≥ 3 seconds; (2) serum lactate \> 2 mmol/L; (3) cool extremities; or (4) a core-to-peripheral temperature gradient ≥ 2°C.

You may not qualify if:

  • refusal of informed consent;
  • congenital cardiovascular malformations or known inherited metabolic disorders;
  • disease severity precluding reliable microcirculatory monitoring;
  • patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia, which inherently alters vasomotor tone.
