Abstract:
:A 65-year-old man developed postsurgical septic shock, unresponsive to plasma volume expansion and administration of dopamine and dobutamine. A continuous norepinephrine infusion was then started and the dose increased to 0.62 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 until the mean arterial pressure was 70 mmHg. Prior to and during the norepinephrine infusion, oxygen consumption was continuously measured with a mass spectrometer system. There was a parallel increase in mean arterial pressure and oxygen consumption (+ 35%). There was also an increase in cardiac index and oxygen delivery. Systemic vascular resistance was only transiently increased. In this case with septic shock, norepinephrine infusion improved hemodynamic variables with an associated increase in oxygen consumption.
