How To Diagnose And Treat Sepsis

Vasopressors

Vasopressors seem to be used to treat sepsis occasionally. Doctors may prescribe them to patients who have persistent problems with low blood pressure. This type of medication should help narrow a patient's blood vessels. The constriction may increase their overall blood pressure. However, this medication may only be prescribed to critically ill patients in the hospital. If a patient's blood pressure remains dangerously low for too long, they may experience organ damage. Evidence also appears to indicate that most deaths linked to sepsis have been due to complications stemming from low blood pressure.
