At least 25 percent of critically ill patients who receive mechanical ventilation in intensive care units (ICUs) develop muscular weakness severe enough to impair their quality of life. In a new study ...

Treatment with vasopressor medications was associated markedly increased risk for developing intensive care unit (ICU)-associated weakness among critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation, ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- For sepsis-induced hypotension, a restrictive fluid strategy with earlier vasopressor use didn't impact mortality compared with liberal fluids, the CLOVERS trial showed. The ...

A specific recommendation for the vasopressor of choice in patients with septic shock cannot be made from the available evidence. Furthermore, other vasoactive agents, such as vasopressin, have shown ...

Then it's often off to the ICU, where clinicians may reduce or stop the fluids and begin vasopressor medications such as norepinephrine and dopamine, to raise and maintain the patient's blood pressure ...

Researchers from MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have developed a predictive model that could guide clinicians in deciding when to give potentially life-saving drugs to patients being ...

Time to vasopressor initiation from the first hypotensive episode was not significantly associated with 90-day mortality or vasopressor-free days in patients with septic shock, according to a new ...

Researchers have developed a predictive model that could guide clinicians in deciding when to give potentially life-saving drugs to patients being treated for sepsis in the emergency room. Researchers ...
