Abstract Background Laboratory research suggests that vasopressin restores systemic arterial pressure without significantly increasing pulmonary artery pressures, compared with norepinephrine. We therefore tested the hypotheses that treatment of intraoperative vasoplegia..

Abstract Introduction Intra-operative hypotension is common during cardiopulmonary bypass and may contribute to tissue hypoxia. Tissue hypoxia has been linked to the development of postoperative kidney and brain injury. Vasopressors..

Abstract Background Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a naturally occurring peptide with diverse effects mediated through selective V1 and V2 receptors. About 10% of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass develop postoperative vasodilatory..

Abstract Background: Vasopressin is essential for cardiovascular homeostasis, acting via the kidney to regulate water resorption, on the vasculature to regulate smooth muscle tone, and as a central neurotransmitter, modulating..
