From: Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of beta blockers in septic patients: a randomized control trial

	Group A: control (n = 30)	Group B: esmolol (n = 30)	t test	P value
Day 0	115.75 ± 12.86	113.4 ± 12.78	− 0.710	0.4806
Day 1	114.63 ± 11.92	104.6 ± 9.65	− 3.582	< 0.001
Day 2	110.8 ± 10.2	94.2 ± 8.5	− 6.848	< 0.001

Data presented as mean ± SD
P value > 0.05 NS; *P value < 0.05 S; **P value < 0.001 HS
Heart rate showed a significant reduction in group B compared to group A in days 1–6 (P value < 0.001) as shown in Table 5 and Fig. 3
