Abstract OBJECTIVES A best evidence topic was written according to a structured protocol described in ICVTS. The question addressed was ‘In patients with vasoplegic syndrome following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass,..
Read MoreAbstract Background Vasoplegic syndrome is associated with high mortality. Methylene blue (MB) is a guanylate cyclase inhibitor that ameliorates this re-distributive type of shock. This study aims to investigate the..

Read MoreAbstract Objectives To summarize the evidence of the hemodynamic effects and vasopressor requirements of adult cardiac surgery patients with vasoplegic shock treated with hydroxocobalamin or methylene blue. Design Systematic review..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To compare changes in vasopressor requirements and hemodynamic responses after hydroxocobalamin or methylene blue administration for vasoplegic shock (VS). Design Retrospective cohort analysis. Setting Single-center, academic medical center...
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND Methylene blue is used as rescue therapy to treat catecholamine-refractory vasoplegic syndrome after cardiac surgery. However, its microcirculatory effects remain poorly documented. OBJECTIVE We aimed to study microcirculatory..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Vasoplegic syndrome is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This retrospective, single-center study aimed to evaluate the effect of early use of methylene..
Read MoreAbstract Objective The treatment of refractory vasodilatory shock in patients undergoing (ECMO) is an area in which there is minimal literature. Based on previous literature, the authors hypothesized that at least..
Read MoreAbstract Vasoplegia syndrome, characterized by hypotension refractory to fluid resuscitation or high-dose vasopressors, low systemic vascular resistance, and normal-to-increased cardiac index, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality after cardiothoracic..
