OBJECTIVES:: Relative vasopressin deficiency, a contributor to vasodilatory septic shock,
also may be a cause of the vasodilatory state in liver disease. This study assessed …

Background To minimize blood loss during hepatic surgery, various methods are used to
reduce pressure and flow within the hepato‐splanchnic circulation. In this study, the effect of …

In patients with cirrhosis, vasopressin infusion induces sustained vasoconstriction and
elevation of arterial pressure. The vasopressor effect could be caused by impairment of …

Background The hypotension of septic shock is due to systemic vasodilation. On the basis of
a clinical observation, we investigated the possibility that a deficiency in vasopressin …

Objective To study effects of vasopressin on hemodynamic, clinical, and laboratory variables
in children with advanced vasodilatory shock. Design and setting Retrospective study in a …

Vasodilation due to impaired vascular tone is common in liver failure. Vasoconstrictor drugs
are almost always required during the anhepatic phase of a liver transplant to maintain …

The use of vasopressin and its synthetic analogues has shown beneficial effects in the
management of patients with cirrhosis, especially in the context of variceal bleeding, the …

Objective: To determine the effect of vasodilatory septic shock–like conditions on
vasoconstricting responses to vasopressin and norepinephrine in isolated resistance …

It has been suggested that vasopressin given during hemorrhage may be less effective than
when given during a stable state in a portal‐hypertensive rat model. This study was …

Experimental animal studies have suggested that certain vasodilators could minimize the
adverse cardiovascular effects of vasopressin. We investigated the hemo-dynamic effects of …
