Article Abstract
Background And Aim: Norepinephrine is currently the first-line vasopressor for septic shock. We conducted this meta-analysis to examine the outcomes of adult patients with septic shock who received vasopressin instead of norepinephrine.
Methods: We selected studies in adults with septic shock that compared the outcomes of patients treated with vasopressin versus norepinephrine. Cochrane ROB 2.0 and the Joanna Briggs Institute quality assessment tools were used to assess the risk of bias in RCTs and observational studies. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4.
Results: Eight studies were included in this meta-analysis. There were no significant differences in 28-day mortality rates (OR, 1.07; CI, 0.80-1.44) and intensive care unit (ICU) mortality (OR, 0.74; CI, 0.21-2.67) between the two groups. Similarly, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, mean arterial pressure at 24 h, urine output at 24 h, and serious adverse events also did not differ significantly. However, the odds of renal replacement therapy (RRT) requirement in the vasopressin group were substantially lower than in the norepinephrine group (OR, 0.68; CI, 0.47-0.98).
Conclusion: There were no differences in mortality, duration of hospitalization, and adverse effects in adults with septic shock across the two groups. However, the patients treated with vasopressin had lower chances of requiring RRT.
Relevance For Patients: Vasopressin use as the first-line vasopressor in septic shock showed a significant reduction in RRT, though there were no significant differences in terms of mortality and other adverse events. Therefore, vasopressin can be considered as a first-line vasopressor in septic shock patients with other risk factors which may contribute to renal failure requiring RRT.

Septic shock is a complex syndrome characterized by signs of intense systemic inflammation and a profound dysregulation of the immune response. Large-scale gene expression analysis is a valuable tool in this scenario because sepsis affects various cellular components and signaling pathways. In this article, we provide an overview of the transcriptomic studies that investigated human sepsis from 2007 to 2024, highlighting their major contributions.

We present a case of bacteremia in the setting of polymicrobial osteomyelitis. is a Gram-variable bacterium that has been rarely documented as the etiologic organism in human infections such as septic arthritis or otitis media, and even more rarely reported as an organism associated with bacteremia. The patient presented with septic shock and the physical exam was notable for gangrene of bilateral feet.

Severe pneumonia (SP) is a common cause of septic shock and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), leading to multiorgan dysfunction syndrome. Patients with SP often require respiratory support, and SP is associated with high mortality and is a significant economic burden for hospitalized patients. Therefore, early identification and real-time monitoring of the severity of SP are crucial for improving outcomes.

Inflammatory response is a natural protective response in infection or injury. The immune imbalance of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and the use of anti-rheumatic immune drugs may affect the inflammatory response process of shock. The evidence of the impact of RA on short-time mortality in shock patients is limited.
