Autonomic dysfunction and tachycardia are strongly linked to poor outcomes in septic shock, contributing to high mortality rates. In the upcoming podcast, we explore whether β-blockade with landiolol for up to 14 days can reduce organ failure, as measured by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, in critically ill patients with tachycardia and septic shock who have been on high-dose norepinephrine for over 24 hours.
Dr. Tony Whitehouse, interviewed by two NEXT representatives, discusses the key findings of the STRESS-L Randomized Clinical Trial.
