Tip 1. Looking beyond vasodilatation: use norepinephrine as first-line vasopressor but reassess the cause of hypotension before escalation.

Tip 2. Set a goal of mean arterial blood pressure above 60 mmHg, and individualize if feasible.

Tip 7. Implement an institutional protocol.

Tip 8. Future directions.
