    Management of septic shock (SS) with a norepinephrine (noradrenaline)-based haemodynamic algorithm. Introduction: The choice of the best vasopressor for haemodynamic management of septic shock is controversial. Nevertheless, very few studies have been focused on evaluating different management algorithms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a norepinephrine (NE)-based management protocol. Experience with NE as the initial vasopressor, even if not comparative, could bring relevant data for planning future trails. We also wanted to evaluate the compliance of critical care physicians and nurses with haemodynamic management protocol.
