Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the correlation between serum magnesium level and lactate clearance at acute phase of sepsis Evaluation of the correlation between intracellular magnesium level and lactate clearance at acute phase of sepsis
Design
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled and blinded clinical trial. Fifty adult patients with diagnosis of sepsis will equally be assigned to magnesium or placebo group according permuted block randomization method.
Settings and conduct
Critically ill adult patients with diagnosis of sepsis who admitted to general ICU of Imam Khomeini Hospital will be evaluated for eligibility. Fifty patients will equally be assigned to magnesium or placebo group. Patients in the magnesium group will receive magnesium sulfate as intravenous infusion to attain serum magnesium level near to 3 mg/dl. Patients in the placebo group will receive the same volume of saline. Duration of intervention is 72 hours. Medication and placebo have same packaging and appearance.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Critically ill adult patients (18-65) admitted to ICU with diagnosis of sepsis will be recruited. Exclusion criteria: Patients with hypermagnesemia [Mg]> 3.5 mg/dL, hypomagnesemia [Mg] <1.5 mg/dL, renal failure (GFR <30 ml/min /1.73 m2), moderate to severe hepatic insufficiency (child pugh score B, C), seizure , chronic alcohol consumption, malignancy, MAP <65 mm Hg resistant to vasopressors, diabetic ketoacidosis and pregnant women will be excluded.
Intervention groups
Magnesium group: Patients in this group will receive magnesium sulfate as intravenous infusion to attain serum magnesium level of 3 mg/dl as the study goal. Control group: Patients in this group will receive placebo.
Main outcome variables
Evaluation of the effect of magnesium supplementation on lactate clearance in critically ill patients with sepsis.
