Vasopressin versus norepinephrine infusion in patients with septic shock.
BACKGROUND Vasopressin is commonly used as an adjunct to catecholamines to support blood pressure in refractory septic shock, but its effect on mortality is unknown. We hypothesized that low-dose vasopressin as compared with norepinephrine would decrease mortality among patients with septic shock who were being treated with conventional (catecholamine) vasopressors. METHODS In this multicente...
متن کاملIsoproterenol infusion in septic shock
A 69 year old female with a history of gastric bypass surgery with a recent revision (12 weeks prior to presentation) was admitted from a skilled nursing facility with subacute progressive dyspnea, cough and pleuritic chest pain. On initial assessment her blood pressure was 150/80 mmHg, pulse of 130 beats per minute, with a respiratory rate of 30 per minute and oxygen saturation of 85%. She had...
متن کاملSeptic shock--vasopressin, norepinephrine, and urgency.
Septic shock is one of the most challenging problems in critical care medicine. Shock due to sepsis accounts for many of the deaths in medical and surgical intensive care units.1-4 It is estimated that septic shock results in approximately 215,000 deaths per year in the United States, a number similar to the number of deaths from acute myocardial infarction. However, the two disorders are not s...
متن کاملIsoproterenol infusion and microcirculation in septic shock
INTRODUCTION Our study primarily aimed at investigating the effect of isoproterenol infusion on tissue oxygen saturation in patients with septic shock. The secondary aim was to assess the relation between cardiac index, central venous oxygen saturation and tissue oxygen saturation. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted from December 2010 to March 2012. We included 14 consecutive pati...
متن کاملNorepinephrine kinetics and dynamics in septic shock and trauma patients.
BACKGROUND There is considerable variability in the inter-patient response to norepinephrine. Pharmacokinetic studies of dopamine infusion in volunteers and in patients have also shown large variability. The purpose of this study was to define the pharmacokinetics of norepinephrine in septic shock and trauma patients. METHODS After Ethical Committee approval and written informed family consen...
