The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of hypotension based on the discontinuation order of norepinephrine and vasopressin in patients receiving concomitant norepinephrine and vasopressin infusions for the treatment of septic shock.
There are little data regarding the discontinuation of vasopressors in patients with septic shock. Therefore, the investigators intend to evaluate the incidence of hypotension based on the discontinuation order of norepinephrine and vasopressin in patients receiving concomitant norepinephrine and vasopressin infusions for the treatment of septic shock.
