Excerpt

Vasopressin plasma levels are low in advanced septic shock and treatment with low dose vasopressin can reverse catecholamine resistance [1]. Terlipressin, a vasopressin analogue with long half life time, was found to exert less gastrointestinal and myocardial side effects in patients with acute variceal hemorrhage compared with vasopressin. Little is known about effects and side effects of terlipressin administration in patients with septic shock. …
