Abstract

The importance of vasopressors in achieving the mean arterial pressure target in the early resuscitation of septic shock has been demonstrated and sepsis has been recently defined as a systemic response to infection with the presence of some degree of organ dysfunction [ 1 , 2 ]. However, timing of norepinephrine (NE) for the prevention of organ dysfunctions in sepsis has not been investigated.
