Purpose. 1  The investigators hypothesis is that for ICU patients with shock, the use of the vasoactive drugs phenylephrine and vasopressin will reduce tachydysrhythmias when compared to norepinephrine and epinephrine.
Aim 5: Determine which vasopressor, phenylephrine or norepinephrine, is associated with fewer complications, including cardiac complications. The investigators hypothesize that in this setting, phenylephrine will improve the management of septic shock when used as a first choice vasopressor by: 1  Decreasing the mean heart rate. 2  Decreasing the incidence of new tachyarrhythmias.
