Are there factors that would prompt you to consider the use of methylene blue in refractory septic shock?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
I usually don't consider using it unless all other options are exhausted. Although there is date that shows decrease in pressor needs, there is no data that shows any clinical improvements, and specifically no improvement in mortality. It is not part of my algorithm for refractory shock.
