Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
With mortality rates approaching 40%, septic shock is one of the most common causes of death on intensive care units. Vasodilatation, myocardial depression and fluid loss as a result of increased capillary permeability result in hypotension and impaired organ perfusion. Multiple organ failure as a consequence of organ hypo-perfusion results in death. Initial therapeutic strategies involve fluid resuscitation and pharmacological means to increase mean arterial pressure. The catecholamines dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline are the predominant pharmacological agents used. |
