September 20, 2010. Background: There is debate as to the vasopressor agent of choice in …

Objectives: There has long-been controversy about the possible superiority of
norepinephrine compared to dopamine in the treatment of shock. The objective was to …

Norepinephrine in septic shock: when and how much? : Current Opinion in Critical Care …

The optimum septic shock vasopressor support strategy is currently debated. This study was
performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) as …

Objective Despite increasingly sophisticated critical care, the mortality of septic shock
remains elevated. Accordingly, care remains supportive. Volume resuscitation combined …

Rationale: Recent retrospective evidence suggests the efficacy of early norepinephrine
administration during resuscitation; however, prospective data to support this assertion are …

Objective: The optimal adrenergic support in shock is controversial. We investigated whether
dopamine administration influences the outcome from shock. Design: Cohort, multiple …

Objective: Guidelines for the adrenergic support of septic shock are controversial. In patients
with community-acquired septic shock, we assessed the impact of the choice of vasopressor …
