Summary
Although norepinephrine is commonly used and is the recommended agent for the treatment of
hypotension in volume-resuscitated hyperdynamic septic shock, Low doses of vasopressin may be
added to norepinephrine to maintain arterial blood pressure in refractory septic shock and to
decrease exposure to norepinephrine. The aim of the work is to compare the effect of
norepinephrine alone and Norepinephrine/vasopressin combination on hemodynamics and tissue
perfusion in septic shock patients.
