Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to asses the recovery of organ failure between two resuscitation protocols in severe sepsis standard pressure guided therapy versus a microcirculation guided therapy
Detailed Description: Despite continued improvements in medical therapy mortality from septic shock has remained between 30 and 70 for the past three decades with only a slight decrease in mortality rate Standard treatment of septic shock is fluid resuscitation followed by agents with vasopressor activity to correct hypotension in septic shock The question rises whether vasopressors should be the first line of action in septic shock Opening and recruiting the microcirculation are expected to improve regional organ function and tissue distress in severe sepsis Beside fluid resuscitation vasodilatation in this respect enhances microcirculatory flow while vasoconstriction causes a reduction in microcirculatory flow On the other hand a minimal perfusion pressure should be present Our aim is to asses the effects of two resuscitation protocols in severe sepsis the standard treatment using predefined pressure goals versus a microcirculation guided therapy
