Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 4
SUMMARY

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine in Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury in critically ill patients by answering the following questions: 1. What is dexmedetomidine's effect on kidney functions? 2. What is the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine in Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury? The investigator will compare dexmedetomidine to the standard sedative. The Participant will take either dexmedetomidine or the standard sedative during their hospitalization, with follow-up of the following: 1. Vital signs including blood pressure, body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. 2. Laboratory data including kidney function tests, electrolytes, complete blood count, and liver function tests. 3. An electrocardiogram will be followed to check the heart's electrical activity. 4. The level of alertness or agitation to avoid over and under-sedation. 5. The level of organ dysfunction and mortality risks. 6. Duration of mechanical ventilation. 7. Duration of hospitalization.
