  1. Vasopressor dose includes a combined dose of norepinephrine, epinephrine and vasopressin
  2. APACHE-II = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Score II; SAPS-II = Simplified Acute Physiology Score; CRRT = Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy; ICU = Intensive Care Unit; BE = base excess; PaO2/FiO2 = ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen
