MethodsWe used Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV, 3 a de-identified single-center database (2008-2019) of patients admitted to ICUs at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA). Included patients were adults with a diagnosis of sepsis 4 who were started on norepinephrine alone at a dose between 0.01 (first percentile) and 0.5 (99th percentile) μg/kg/min (ICUs in Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV used weight-based dosing). We identified the first episode whenResultsAmong 34,789 adult patients with sepsis, we identified 5,569 patients started on norepinephrine alone, of whom 2,903 had a norepinephrine dose increase. The mean minimum MAP prior to dose increase was 63 (SD, 11) mm Hg, and mean maximum MAP afterward was 72 (SD, 12) mm Hg. The mean Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score was 7 (SD, 3). Additional characteristics of included patients are shown in Table 1. Nadir MAP measurements occurred approximately 15 min before norepinephrine dose increasesDiscussionUsing time-varying electronic medical record data, we show evidence for a smaller increase in MAP in response to a norepinephrine increase for patients with septic shock receiving norepinephrine doses above 0.2 μg/kg/min. This potential threshold for a change in norepinephrine effectiveness helps to inform septic shock clinical practice and marks a rational target for future studies of adjunctive vasoactive treatments for septic shock.
