The effect of early vasopressin use on patients with septic shock: A systematic review and meta-analysis

  • Early initiation of vasopressin in patients within 6 h of septic shock onset was not associated with decreased short-term mortality, new onset arrhythmias, shorter ICU length of stay and length of hospitalization, but can reduce the use of RRT. Further large-scale RCTs are still needed to evaluate the benefit of starting vasopressin in the early phase of septic shock.

A 37-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 1-week history of pain and swelling in the left upper arm that had started after blunt trauma to the arm during a soccer practice. He had a history of opioid use disorder, which had been treated with buprenorphine. He reported no intravenous drug use during the past 2 years. The heart rate was 120 beats per minute, the blood pressure 96/54 mm Hg, and the body temperature 37.9°C. Examination of the left upper arm was notable for swelling, tenderness, and crepitus. The overlying skin was red and warm to the touch. A radiograph of the upper arm showed radiolucent areas with air–fluid levels in deep tissue.
