Early Vasopressor Initiation versus Standard Fluid Resuscitation in Normotensive Cryptic Shock: A Target Trial Emulation
2026-02-03
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Current sepsis guidelines mandate aggressive fluid resuscitation prior to vasopressor initiation, primarily targeting hypotension (Mean Arterial Pressure [MAP] < 65 mmHg). However, a distinct phenotype of "Cryptic Shock" characterized by severe tissue hypoperfusion (Lactate > 4.0 mmol/L) despite preserved normotension (MAP > 65 mmHg) remains poorly managed. We hypothesized t...
