Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The selection of patients who will participate in the study will be for convenience. The randomization of the patients will be done by opaque envelopes 1:1, grouped into blocks, generated by random numbers.
The study will be carried out in the intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital in Southern Brazil, taking into account the clinical and surgical patients. In the intensive care unit, after randomization, patients will be identified by posters, attached to the bed. The titration of vasoactive drugs will be criterion of the assistant team.
