Mortality Effect of Peripheral Perfusion-Guided Resuscitation in Vasodilatory Shock: A Systematic Review and Dual Frequentist-Bayesian Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials.

Critical care medicine·September 11, 2026·PMID 42725818

Why it matters

Peripheral perfusion-guided resuscitation is a simple, noninvasive bedside strategy that may improve outcomes in septic shock, a condition with persistently high mortality. The high Bayesian probability of benefit, despite a nonsignificant frequentist result, suggests a potential mortality reduction that warrants attention from clinicians managing vasodilatory shock.
