Phenylephrine Versus Norepinephrine in Septic Shock

May 30, 2007 updated by: University of Roma La Sapienza

Effects of Phenylephrine on Systemic and Regional Hemodynamics in Patients With Septic Shock: a Crossover Pilot Study

Clinical studies evaluating the clinical use of phenylephrine in septic shock are lacking. The present study was designed to compare the effects of norepinephrine and phenylephrine on systemic and regional hemodynamics in patients with catecholamine-dependent septic shock.
