Summary
The optimal levels of mean arterial pressure that must be achieved in septic shock are
subject of debate. Studies tried to correlate blood pressure increase in patients with septic
shock with microcirculation. However, there are few studies that specifically assessed septic
shock patients with previous arterial hypertension. The main objective of this study is to
evaluate the effect of increased blood pressure level in the microcirculation of these
patients and compare them with patients without arterial hypertension.
