Common questions
What does Vasoactive Agents & MAP Target in Septic Shock do?
Use after adequate fluid resuscitation to set the MAP target and choose the next vasopressor/inotrope/steroid step.
How is the result calculated?
Initial MAP target ≥ 65 mmHg; norepinephrine first-line → add vasopressin 0.03 U/min → add epinephrine; add dobutamine (or switch to epinephrine) for cardiac dysfunction with persistent hypoperfusion; add hydrocortisone 200 mg/d for ongoing vasopressor need (≥ 0.25 µg/kg/min ≥ 4 h).
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
