AimTo describe use of vasopressin infusion for catecholamine-refractory septic shock in children.MethodsWe report successful use of vasopressin infusion in three children with septic shock, in whom hypotension and poor perfusion persisted despite use of multiple infusions of vasopressors and inotropes.ResultsAll three had a rapid improvement in hypotension and perfusion after starting vasopressin infusion, allowing tapering of other infusions. Two children recovered completely.ConclusionsVasopressin appears to be useful in treatment of catecholamine-refractory septic shock in children.
