Background: Fixed-dose vasopressin is an adjunctive therapy to norepinephrine (NE) to raise mean arterial pressure (MAP) and decrease NE requirements in patients with septic shock. It is unknown if weight affects hemodynamic response to vasopressin or if a weight-based vasopressin strategy is superior to fixed dosing.
Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate effect of body weight on response to vasopressin as measured by change in MAP 1 hour post-vasopressin initiation.
Vasopressin Associated With an Increase in Return of Spontaneous Circulation in Acidotic Cardiopulmonary Arrest Patients.

Background: During respiratory and metabolic acidosis, the vasoconstrictive effects of epinephrine may be blunted, whereas the response to vasopressin remains unchanged. The impact of this effect during advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) remains unclear.
Objective: Determine if vasopressin therapy in combination with epinephrine was associated with improved outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest compared to epinephrine alone.
