Summary
Endotracheal intubation is a lifesaving procedure that is performed in various settings
within the hospital or even in the pre-hospital field. However, it can result in serious
hemodynamic complications, such as post-intubation hypotension (PIH) and cardiac arrest.
Push-dose pressor (PDP) is common practice for rapid hemodynamic correction in
post-intubation hypotension. In this study the investigators will use intravenous Epinephrine
bolus for prevention of post intubation collapse in septic patients predicted by shock index
in intensive care unit.
