Refractory vasodilatory shock, or vasoplegia, is a pathophysiologic state observed in the intensive care unit and operating room in patients with a variety of primary diagnoses. Definitions of vasoplegia vary by source but are qualitatively defined clinically as a normal or high cardiac index and low systemic vascular resistance causing hypotension despite high-dose vasopressors in the setting of euvolemia. This definition can be difficult to apply to patients undergoing mechanical circulatory support (MCS).

In early-onset (EO) cblC deficiency (MMACHC), hydroxocobalamin dose-intensification (OHCBL-DI) improved biochemical and clinical outcome. In mammals, Cobalamin is reduced, in a reaction mediated by MMACHC. Pathogenic variants in MMACHC disrupt the synthesis pathway of methyl-cobalamin (MetCbl) and 5'-deoxy-adenosyl-cobalamin (AdoCbl), cofactors for both methionine synthase (MS) and methyl-malonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) enzymes.

Vasoplegic syndrome is a type of distributive shock characterized by mean arterial pressure of less than 65 mmHg, with normal to high cardiac output and often refractory to fluid resuscitation, high doses of intravenous vasopressors, and inotropes. It is usually observed after cardiac and solid organ transplantation surgeries. Here, we report a 56-year-old female patient who presented with a profound vasoplegia manifesting as lethargy and confusion in the setting of amlodipine toxicity.

Context: The azide anion (N-) is highly toxic. It exists most commonly as sodium azide, which is used widely and is readily available, raising the potential for occupational incidents and use as a weapon of mass destruction. Azide-poisoned patients present with vomiting, seizures, hypotension, metabolic acidosis, and coma; death can occur.

Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is a common complication following cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and its incidence varies from 5 to 44%. It is defined as a distributive form of shock due to a significant drop in vascular resistance after CPB. Risk factors of VS include heart failure with low ejection fraction, renal failure, pre-operative use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, prolonged aortic cross-clamp and left ventricular assist device surgery.
