Excerpt

For patients in shock, decisions on blood pressure targets are an ongoing task for the clinicians at the bedside in critical care settings. In general, there are only limited amount of data from studies with lower risk of bias to support the clinicians in these decisions. However, in recent years, large cohort studies and randomised clinical trials (RCTs) have given us somewhat better data to support better care. …
