The Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines recommend the very early management of the sepsis focusing on the hour-1 bundle. This includes use of Vasopressin 0.03 units/minute as add-on to norepinephrine (NE) with intent of either raising the mean arterial pressure or decreasing the norepinephrine dosage (i.e. de-catecholaminization).

Terlipressin is indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome with rapid reduction in kidney function. [2]Indications for use include norepinephrine-resistant septic shock [7] although, 2021 Surviving Sepsis Guidelines recommend against its use for adults with septic shock [8] and hepatorenal syndrome. [9]
The Sepsis Six is the name given to a bundle of medical therapies designed to reduce mortality in patients with sepsis. [citation needed] Drawn from international guidelines that emerged from the Surviving Sepsis Campaign [1] [2] the Sepsis Six was developed by The UK Sepsis Trust. [3] (Daniels, Nutbeam, Laver) in 2006 as a practical tool to ...
