Summary
Brief summary
We hypothesize that midodrine treatment of refractory hypotension in patients otherwise ready for discharge from the ICU shortens duration of receiving IV vasopressors and SICU length of stay without increasing MGH length of stay or putting the patient at risk of being readmitted to an ICU.
