Abstract

Introduction: the mortality rate in septic patients or septic shock is still very high. Beta-blockers can reduce an overstimulation of adrenergic receptors in septic patients or in septic shock treated in ICU. Objective: to analyze the usefulness of the use of beta-blockers in septic shock. Method: a synthesis of available materials on the use of beta-blockers in septic patients and septic shock was performed for a review of the literature. Available articles reporting cases of treatment of this entity were included. For this purpose, information was searched using keywords. Results: septic shock is a clinical entity that requires rapid action by health teams. It triggers effects at all levels of the economy; however, the management of the cardiovascular system is essential for the reestablishment of the normal functioning of the organism, hence drugs with an effect on the cardiovascular system are highly analyzed. Conclusions: the literature suggests that the use of beta-blockers in patients with septic shock may be useful; however, it is necessary to study the available scientific evidence from a systematic approach, as well as to carry out clinical trials
