Summary

This study looks at 240 adults with septic shock who develop a new irregular heartbeat. It compares three treatment approaches: controlling heart rate with low-dose amiodarone, restoring normal rhythm with high-dose amiodarone or electric shock, or managing risk factors without antiarrhythmic drugs. The goal is to see which strategy reduces death and shortens shock duration.
