Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
In this thesis we will use the current state of knowledge that PI can provide a reliable information about the state of peripheral microcirculation during the state of sepsis and septic shock in ICU patients and that can interfere with the timing of starting vasopressor treatment in sepsis and septic shock
