Excerpt

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and terlipressin (TP) are increasingly used to stabilize mean arterial pressure in the setting of septic shock. Whether these vasopressor agents negatively impact on microcirculatory perfusion is still not fully understood. The objective of the present study was, therefore, to elucidate the effects of AVP and TP on microcirculatory perfusion in patients with catecholamine-dependent septic shock. …
