Shock therapy: high norepinephrine doses linked to death risk
NCT ID NCT05032261
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 ICU patients with circulatory shock who received norepinephrine, a drug that raises blood pressure. Researchers wanted to see if a certain dose was linked to higher death rates within 5 days. They also studied how long patients needed the drug and the total amount given. The goal was to find a dose limit where more medicine no longer helps.
