PY - 2017 DA - 2017/06/17 TI - Systolic blood pressure variability in patients with early severe sepsis or septic shock: a prospective cohort study JO - BMC Anesthesiology SP - 82 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Severe sepsis and septic shock are often lethal syndromes, in which the autonomic nervous system may fail to maintain adequate blood pressure. Heart rate variability has been associated with outcomes in sepsis. Whether systolic blood pressure (SBP) variability is associated with clinical outcomes in septic patients is unknown. The propose of this study is to determine whether variability in SBP correlates with vasopressor independence and mortality among septic patients.
