Sepsis, Hemodynamic Monitoring and Shock

This module is part of the Advanced Critical Care Therapeutics Series.

The goal of this module is to review the four common categories of shock and recognize the basic principles of hemodynamic monitoring. We will then compare the pharmacologic profiles of vasopressor and inotropes. Finally, we will review pharmacologic treatment recommendations and quality of evidence for the management of sepsis and septic shock.
