Septic shock is associated with excessive sympathetic stimulation that can result in cardiac dysfunction and tachycardia. Despite beta-blockers historically being considered a relative contraindication in sepsis, recent literature has suggested that ultrashort acting beta-blockers may be an effective treatment option in controlling sepsis related tachycardia as well as overcoming the negative effects of excessive sympathetic stimulation. Please join Dr. Smith for a virtual presentation as he discusses the specific mechanisms in which sepsis and excessive sympathetic stimulation can result in cardiac dysfunction and the potential role ultrashort beta-blockers can have to overcome these negative effects. This session will focus on analyzing recent literature examining beta-blocker therapy in sepsis to identify patient characteristics that may see benefits or harms in receiving beta-blocker therapy.

This 45 minute presentation will examine the specific mechanisms in which sepsis and excessive sympathetic stimulation can result in cardiac dysfunction and discuss the potential role ultrashort beta-blockers can have to overcome these negative effects. In addition, the session will focus on analyzing recent literature examining beta-blocker therapy in sepsis to identify patient characteristics that may see benefits or harms in receiving beta-blocker therapy.
Objectives
- Describe the mechanisms in which sepsis can induce cardiac dysfunction
- Summarize recent literature evaluating beta-blocker therapy in patients with sepsis
- Identify patient specific characteristics that may see the most benefit or harm from starting beta-blocker therapy in sepsis
