A Multicenter Observational Cohort Study of Angiotensin II in Shock.

Ang-2 is an effective vasopressor and reduces catecholamine dose significantly. Its effect is rapid, with target MAP obtained within 30 minutes in most patients. Given the critical importance of adequate blood pressure to organ perfusion, Ang-2 should be considered when target MAP cannot be achieved with conventional vasopressors. Ang-2 should be utilized early in the course of shock, before the NED dose exceeds 0.2-0.3 µg/kg/min and before the initiation of the fourth-line vasopressor.
