Scientific titleA randomised controlled trial examing the efficacy of Milrinone in reducing mortality in enterovirus 71-induced pulmonary oedema and/or neurogenic shock
Study objectivesThe efficacy of Milrinone administered to EV71-induced pulmonary oedema and/or neurogenic shock will reduce mortality rate in acute phase (within 1 week)
Ethics approval(s)The ethics committee of Children's Hospital No. 1 Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) approved on the 12th of July 2006 (ref: 4820/UBND-VX)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedEnterovirus 71-induced pulomnary oedema and/or neurogenic shock
InterventionThe eligible enrolled patients were randomized to receive either
1. Group A: medical (milrinone) treatment:
Milrinone (Primacor®) was administered to the subjects who met the study criteria. The drug was administered intravenously within 2-6 hours after pulmonary oedema was diagnosed at a loading dose 50ug/kg I.V. over 15 minutes followed by a continuous infusion of 0.5ug/kg/min; dosage range of 0.35-0.55ug/kg/min; titrate dose to effect. Therapy was continued for 72 hours.
2. Group B: conventional standard management (supportive acre without milrinone treatment).

All the enrolled subjects received standard medical attention with the same critical care protocol. In addition to routine biochemistry and blood counting examination on trial entry, enterovirus 71 infections were examined by isolation of virus or molecular test from throat/stool swabs or cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) or serologic assay for neutralizing antibody titer.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase III
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Milrinone (Primacor®)
Primary outcome measureTo assess the efficacy of Milrinone as evaluated by the 1-week mortality in EV71 infected children with pulmonary oedema and/or neurogenic shock.

Each enrolled subject was followed with a standard critical care protocol until he or she was discharged from hospital or expired. Evaluation was performed when necessary for all the enrolled subjects during their hospital stays.
