Condition: Vasoplegic Syndrome of Cardiac Surgery · Sponsor: University of Sao Paulo
This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial designed to compare the inotropic effects of vasopressin versus norepinephrine in patients who develop vasoplegic syndrome in the immediate postoperative period following cardiac surgery. Vasoplegic syndrome is characterized by severe hypotension due to systemic vasodilation, despite adequate fluid resuscitation and preserved or elevated cardiac output. Vasopressors are essential in restoring hemodynamic stability in this context; however, their impact on myocardial performance remains uncertain. While norepinephrine is the standard first-line agent, vasopressin has shown potential benefits, including reduced catecholamine exposure and fewer adverse cardiovascular effects. This study aims to assess changes in cardiac output and other echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters after administration of either vasopressin or norepinephrine. The findings are expected to contribute to optimizing vasopressor selection in vasoplegic patients after cardiac surgery and improving clinical outcomes.
