The Association of Elevated Lactate With Multiple Vasopressor Administration in Patients With Septic Shock: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

In patients with septic shock and elevated lactate, there is limited evidence evaluating supplementary vasopressor use beyond vasopressin (AVP) and norepinephrine (NE). The purpose of this study is to describe vasopressor utilization and clinical outcomes based on lactate level. We conducted a retrospective study of patients with septic shock requiring NE.
