Brief Summary: Septic shock is defined as sepsis with persistent hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain mean arterial pressure MAP 65 mmHg and a serum lactate level of 2 mmolL 18 mgdL despite sufficient volume resuscitation

Hypovolemia both relative and absolute and reduced vascular tone have a role in determining the severity of hypotension in septic shock
Detailed Description: Septic shock is defined as sepsis with persistent hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain mean arterial pressure MAP 65 mmHg and a serum lactate level of 2 mmolL 18 mgdL despite sufficient volume resuscitation Hypovolemia both relative and absolute and reduced vascular tone have a role in determining the severity of hypotension in septic shock

When mean arterial pressure MAP falls below a specific critical level organ blood flow is physiologically dependent on perfusion pressure Fluid resuscitation and vasopressors have an influence on hypovolemia and the vascular tone in the early phase as fluid resuscitation aims to correct hypovolemia and vasopressors-norepinephrine NE- as a first-line drug aiming to restore vascular tone to assure organ perfusion

Norepinephrine is both an alpha1- and beta1-agonist so it is able to increase vascular tone and contractility

Nevertheless a large amount of fluids will increase the risk of fluid overload which is a common complication during septic shock resuscitation

After the early phase only fifty percent of patients respond to fluid administration meaning that fluid treatment cannot boost cardiac output CO The current data indicate that the time from the onset of septic shock to the initiation of norepinephrine administration is a significant survival predictor however a suggestion for the optimal time to provide norepinephrine support was not explicitly expressed
