Abstract
- Vasodilatory shock has been implicated in life-threatening complications after cardiac surgery. This syndrome may result from the vasopressin deficiency following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which do not respond to fluids or usual intravenous inotropes. We used arginine-vasopressin in adults with vasodilatory shock coming off cardiopulmonary bypass. Therefore, we report these cases with a review of articles.
