Dexmedetomidine and Vasopressin in Septic Shock

Rudiger and Singer suggested strategies for refining adrenergic stress (decatecholaminization). They proposed the use of dexmedetomidine and vasopressin to reduce the catecholamine load during sepsis. The investigators will use vasopressin as the primary vasopressor and a heart rate-calibrated dexmedetomidine infusion in septic shock patients. The investigators of the current study will use DEXPRESSIN in septic shock patients to investigate the effects of decatecholaminization on in-hospital mortality.
