The blood pressure effect of high-dose dopamine (25 μg/kg/minute) compared to noradrenaline (up to 1.5 μg/kg/minute) in patients with hypotensive hyperdynamic septic shock. Noradrenaline is clearly superior in restoring mean arterial pressure to normotensive levels. For all measurements, P < 0.0001.
