Scientific title
Study objectivesThe effects of a supplementary Arginine-Vasopressin (AVP) infusion on microcirculation in advanced vasodilatory shock and postoperative multiple organ dysfunction syndrome are unknown.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSevere multiple organ dysfunction syndrome
InterventionNE plus supplementary AVP (Pitressin®; Pfizer, Karlsruhe, Germany) infused at a continuous rate of 4 IU/hour versus NE alone.
Intervention typeDrug
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Arginine-Vasopressin (AVP)
Primary outcome measure(s)

Differences in the area under the concentration-time Area Under Curve (AUC) of the Doppler signal and the reactive hyperemic response to forearm ischaemia between AVP/NE and NE patients.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Differences in the oscillation frequency of the Doppler signal between groups.
