First seen Dec 31, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study examined 100 critically ill patients with circulatory shock in the ICU who received norepinephrine, a drug that raises blood pressure. Researchers wanted to see if a certain dose of norepinephrine was linked to a higher risk of death within 5 days. They also looked at how long patients needed the drug and the total amount given, aiming to create a score that could help doctors know when higher doses may no longer help.
