Comparative StudyChanges in vasopressin use and outcomes in surgical intensive care unit patients with septic shock.
This study compares recent vasopressin use and outcomes to our early practice when vasopressin was introduced for septic shock. ⋯ Vasopressin is recently used at lower doses and in less severe septic shock. Patients recently treated with vasopressin have a higher SICU survival rate than the survival rate when vasopressin was first introduced for septic shock.
