Fig. 3From: The effect of dexmedetomidine on vasopressor requirements in patients with septic shock: a subgroup analysis of the Sedation Practice in Intensive Care Evaluation [SPICEĀ III] TrialAdjusted ratio of noradrenaline equivalents divided by MAP (NEq/MAP ratio) in the first 48āh after randomization. Adjusted for admission diagnosis, hospital site, baseline NEq/MAP ratio, continuous renal replacement therapy, age, administration of hydrocortisone and presence of liver cirrhosis. NEq/MAP: Noradrenaline equivalents to mean arterial pressure ratio (a higher ratio indicates higher vasopressor need to maintain a certain MAP). Data are presented as geometric means and 95% confidence intervals, overall group difference pĀ =ā0.02Back to article page
