Brief Summary

The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) published 2008 revised guidelines to improve survival of septic shock patients. For hemodynamic stabilization the SSC recommends distinct treatment goals. The study hypothesis is that a tissue perfusion guided protocol could reduce the duration on vasopressor treatment compared to a conventional protocol.
