Authors' conclusion

The ultra-short-acting beta-blocker landiolol was effective in reducing and maintaining HR without increasing vasopressor requirements after 24 h in patients with septic shock and persistent tachycardia. There were no differences in adverse events and clinical outcomes such as 28-day mortality vs. standard of care.
