Recommendations

43. For adults with septic shock, we suggest using invasive monitoring of arterial blood pressure over non-invasive monitoring, as soon as practical and if resources are available

Weak recommendation, very low quality of evidence

44. For adults with septic shock, we suggest starting vasopressors peripherally to restore MAP rather than delaying initiation until a central venous access is secured

Weak recommendation, very low quality of evidence

Remark

When using vasopressors peripherally, they should be administered only for a short period of time and in a vein in or proximal to the antecubital fossa
