Article Synopsis
- Hemodynamic restoration is crucial in sepsis management, with initial treatment focusing on achieving a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of over 65 mmHg through volume expansion and norepinephrine (NE) if needed.
- A multicenter randomized trial is underway to evaluate the effectiveness of low-dose NE in controlling shock within 6 hours in septic patients, comparing it to standard care.
- The study measures various parameters, including lactate levels and cardiac output, with the primary goal of achieving stable shock control, and aims to include at least 100 patients in each treatment group.
