Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with outcome of septic shock patients receiving high dose noradrenaline according to three primary infection sites. METHODS: This retrospective study was based on data from a publicly available ICU database (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care [MIMIC] III. Septic shock patients receiving high dose (≥1 μg/kg per min) noradrenaline and ≥18 years were identified and their characteristics and outcomes were compared according to three primary infection sites (abdominal, respiratory and urinary tract). RESULTS: 154 septic shock patients who received high doses of noradrenaline were identified; (89 [58%] had a respiratory infection, 41 [27%] an abdominal infection and 24 [16%] a urinary infection). There were no differences among the three infection groups in duration/maximum dosage of noradrenaline, length of stay in the ICU/hospital, do not resuscitate (DNR) rates, hypertension and adequate antimicrobial therapy. Patients with urinary infections had a lower risk of death at 28-days compared with those with abdominal or respiratory infections. CONCLUSIONS: The prognosis for septic shock patients receiving high dose noradrenaline is poor. Patients with abdominal or respiratory infections are at higher risk of death compared with those with urinary infections.
