Summary
This study looks at the best time to add the drug vasopressin for people with septic shock—a life-threatening drop in blood pressure from infection. About 2,050 adults will be treated using either an earlier or later threshold for starting vasopressin. The goal is to see which approach reduces deaths within 28 days.
