A Brief Review Of The Use Of Vasopressin In Critically Ill Children
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Robust clinical evidence for the use of vasopressin in children is scant. Low dose vasopressin infusions may be tried in catecholamine resistant shock or refractory cardiac arrest. It signifi cantly improves hemodynamic indices without necessarily translating into clinical benefi t. There appears to be a trend to greater tissue ischemia with its use. Evidence to date has not demonstrated clear effi cacy for vasopressin’s routine use in management of pediatric shock. Further high-quality research is essential before it can be recommended as a routine standard of care.
