Microcirculation After MAP Increase in Septic Shock Patients With Previous Hypertension

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.
