Vasopressin in Sepsis

NephMadness

Vasopressin should never be your first choice in sepsis

Just so you know! Low-dose vasopressin decreases norepinephrine requirements!

EMTs and ER docs use it a lot... In MICUs not so much.

Again, vasopressin is never your first choice in Sepsis!

Clinical Pearl:
Consider using low-dose vasopressin a bit earlier rather than later
