Key Words Refractory septic shock; Vasopressors; Adjunctive therapies; Sepsis; Mortality outcome
Core Tip This systematic review of 24 randomized controlled trials evaluates novel therapies for refractory septic shock, including methylene blue, vasopressin, terlipressin, and hydrocortisone-vitamin C-thiamine combinations. While these interventions improve hemodynamics and organ function, no consistent mortality reduction was observed. Methylene blue reduced vasopressor dependency, and terlipressin enhanced renal perfusion. Larger, standardized trials are needed to validate findings and guide multimodal treatment strategies.
