Editorials1206 www. ccmjournal. org July 2018• Volume 46• Number 7 for the hypothesis. The recommendations of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign clearly identify a MAP greater than or equal to 65 mm Hg as a resuscitation target but do not suggest that higher MAPs present an advantage (16). Sepsis-induced abnormalities in the brain are well described in both the clinical and experimental literature, but they do not appear to arise from inadequate CBF. The two most concerning sepsis-associated abnormalities of the brain are acute encephalopathy and long-term cognitive impairment. A number of studies have been hinted at a relationship between CBF and either disorder (9, 17), but they are far from definitive. And, the concern that “standard care may expose septic patients to prolonged high-dose vasopressor therapy unnecessarily” reflects only the effects of these agents on CBF. The need for vasopressors to preserve or maintain the function of other organ systems must be considered. In summary, although the work of Masse et al (1) is instructive, its clinical utility remains unclear. A significant amount of additional data will be required before it should be operationalized.
