Background: Treatment with short-acting betablockers in septic patients remains controversial. Two recent large multicenter trials have provided additional evidence on this therapeutic approach. We thus performed a meta-analysis, including the most recent data, to evaluate the potential impacts of treatment with short-acting betablockers on mortality in adult septic patients.

Landiolol, an ultra-short-acting β1-selective blocker, is more effective in controlling heart rate compared with digoxin in patients with atrial tachyarrhythmias and left ventricular dysfunction. However, the effect of atrial tachyarrhythmia type on the effectiveness of landiolol remains unknown. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of landiolol in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT), not limited to those with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction.

Background: The latest meta-analysis indicated potential survival benefits from ultra-short-acting β-blockers in patients with sepsis with persistent tachycardia. However, subsequent multicenter randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have reported conflicting findings, prompting the need for an updated meta-analysis to incorporate these newly published RCTs.
Research Question: Does the use of ultra-short-acting β-blockers (esmolol or landiolol) in patients with sepsis with persistent tachycardia improve mortality?
Study Design And Methods: We conducted an updated systematic search through April 2, 2024, exploring the MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase databases for RCTs reporting mortality in adult patients with sepsis treated with esmolol or landiolol as compared with those treated with neither of these or receiving placebo and published in English.
