vasopressin and norepinephrine infusion in septic shock

2010 Oct;76(10):844-50. 2009;37(3):811–18. THE USE OF VASOPRESSIN FOR SEPTIC SHOCK SUMMARY Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone that causes vasoconstriction in patients with septic shock. 2014;370(7):592–5. Gordon AC, Mason AJ, Thirunavukkarasu N, Perkins GD, Cecconi M, Cepkova M, et al. Secondary outcome variables were the association between vasopressor genotype pathway polymorphisms, plasma vasopressin levels, and serious adverse events. Biometrics. After the publication of VASST, there was no difference in mortality between vasopressin- and norepinephrine-treated patients. This study was approved by St. Paul’s Hospital/University of British Columbia Ethics Committee who deemed no consent was necessary. Micek ST, Shah P, Hollands JM, Shah RA, Shannon WD, Kollef MH. © 2021 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. In SPH1, there were 165 vasopressin-treated and 558 norepinephrine-treated patients before matching; at baseline, the vasopressin-treated patients were significantly younger, had higher APACHE II, and had more frequent renal, coagulation, and hepatic dysfunction, more often had underlying chronic disease and had a lower dose of norepinephrine (Table 1). 1999;47(4):699–703 Discussion -5. Crit Care. Although norepinephrine is typically first-line in septic shock… Dellinger RP, Levy MM, Rhodes A, Annane D, Gerlach H, Opal SM, et al. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. N Engl J Med. The authors have been on record as recommending 0.01–0.04 units/min vasopressin in patients with more severe shock and that we recommend starting vasopressin earlier when patients have less severe shock because this is the subgroup that appeared to have benefit in the original VASST analysis and in the retrospective analyses that used the sepsis 3.0 definition [15, 23]. The dose of vasopressin (mean ± SD) in SPH2 was significantly lower than that in SPH1 (p = 0.001). PubMed  After excluding patients who had NYHA IV CHF and then propensity matching, the mortality rates were lower in SPH1 and there was no significant difference in 28-day mortality rates of the vasopressin-treated (31.2%) vs. the norepinephrine-treated (26.9%) patients (p = 0.52 unadjusted; p = 0.49 adjusted) (Table 4). The Mahalanobis distance is a statistical measure of the distance between a point P and a distribution D and so measures how many standard deviations a point P is from the mean of the distribution D [18]. Dr. Russell reports patents owned by the University of British Columbia (UBC) that are related to PCSK9 inhibitor(s) and sepsis and related to the use of vasopressin in septic shock. Vail et al. Front Pharmacol. The mechanism of this association requires investigation. In the Vasopressin and Septic Shock Trial (VASST), adding low-dose vasopressin (0.01–0.03 U/min) to existing norepinephrine treatment did not decrease mortality in patients with … Miettinen OS. A propensity score of the estimated probability that a patient would have received vasopressin given their key baseline characteristics was calculated, and patients were selected as matches had to be within a prespecified tolerance on this score. However, in the stratum of patients who had less severe shock (norepinephrine infusion less than 15 μg/min at time of randomization), there was a very strong trend to decreased mortality in the vasopressin compared to the norepinephrine-treated group (p = 0.05). Support for VASST is from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Grant number: MCT 44152. Vasopressin versus norepinephrine infusion in patients with septic shock. We used the written section of the chart to determine whether patients had NYHA class IV heart failure. It has been shown to increase mean arterial … Holmes CL, Walley KR, Chittock DR, Lehman T, Russell JA. Neither of these studies evaluated mortality. Vasopressin-treated patients were propensity score matched to norepinephrine-treated patients based on age, APACHE II, respiratory, renal, and hematologic dysfunction, mechanical ventilation status, medical/surgical status, infection site, and norepinephrine dose. Feudtner C, Schreiner M, Lantos JD. 1. Before VASST, vasopressin use was associated with increased mortality compared to norepinephrine in the VASST coordinating center hospital. for septic shock (4). low-dose vasopressin infusion decreased norepinephrine dose requirements and organ dysfunction Leading Biosciences (was developing a sepsis therapeutic that is no longer in development)—no longer actively consulting.

We excluded patients who had underlying NYHA IV CHF in SPH2. Manage cookies/Do not sell my data we use in the preference centre. The difference in day 1 vasopressin dose between SPH1 vs. SPH2 (0.036 vs. 0.032 units/min) was statistically different (p = 0.001), but it is not entirely certain how much of a clinical impact this difference would have made on mortality. Google Scholar. We were concerned about the difference in mortality between SPH1 and SPH2 because our study showed significantly lower vasopressin dose used after VASST than before VASST may have resulted in lower 28-day mortality. Intensive Care Med. Sepsis and pharmacogenomics: can the VAS(S)T majority of vasopressor treatment be individualized?*. Front Pharmacol. We speculate that changes in availability of ICU beds or referrals from the emergency, and other sites may have resulted in a change in severity of illness and mortality of SPH 2 compared with SPH1. Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analyzed during the current study. 2016;13(10):1760–7. Landry DW, Levin HR, Gallant EM, Seo S, D'Alessandro D, Oz MC, et al. Kaplan-Meier curves describing the estimated probability of survival in the two treatment arms as a function of time from admission into the study were compared using the log-rank test statistic. There were 145 vasopressin-treated patients and 525 norepinephrine-treated before matching (Table 2). Google Scholar. Anesthesiology. Baseline characteristics of vasopressin- and norepinephrine-treated patients were compared using parametric procedures (independent t test), non-parametric procedures (Wilcoxon rank sum test), or the Fisher exact test as appropriate. Septic shock is the most common type of vasodilatory shock and leading cause of mortality in the United States. Discontinuation in septic shock: Multiple studies describe clinically significant hypotension when vasopressin is discontinued prior to norepinephrine. 2017;45(6):940–8. 2012;16(5):447. PubMed Central  Efficacy trials should be followed by effectiveness trials to better assess benefits and risks of drugs such as vasopressin in the broader range of patients in clinical practice. For sensitivity analysis, we then excluded patients who had underlying severe congestive heart failure. Cite this article. Interaction of vasopressin infusion, corticosteroid treatment and mortality of septic shock. 2000;56(1):118–24. We set out to ascertain the efficacy and safety of continuous terlipressin infusion compared with norepinephrine (NE) in patients with septic shock. The VANISH randomized controlled trial used a higher dose of vasopressin and applied vasopressin earlier than did VASST, but also found no difference in acute kidney injury (the primary endpoint of VANISH) or mortality of vasopressin- vs. norepinephrine-treated patients [9]. 2011;15(4):226. Epub 2009 Oct 22. 2020 Nov 9;2(11):e0274. The logical basis for matching was first to simulate in a non-randomized population a vasopressin-treated and non-vasopressin-treated (control) group that is as comparable as possible at baseline and so that differences in outcomes can be better attributed to the vasopressin treatment or not. Prevention and treatment information (HHS). Substantial gains in bias reduction from matching with a variable number of controls. Dr. Russell is a founder, Director and shareholder in Cyon Therapeutics Inc. (developing a sepsis therapy (PCSK9 inhibitor)). Combining the use of propensity scores with covariate matching is superior to the use of either strategy alone [17].

Although norepinephrine is commonly used and is the recommended agent for the treatment of hypotension in volume-resuscitated hyperdynamic septic shock, Low doses of vasopressin may be added to norepinephrine to maintain arterial blood pressure in refractory septic shock and to decrease exposure to norepinephrine. Vasopressin compared with norepinephrine augments the decline of plasma cytokine levels in septic shock. Low-dose vasopressin in the treatment of vasodilatory septic shock. 2001;27(8):1416–21. The strengths of our study are efficiency evaluation of vasopressin vs. norepinephrine in the hospital that coordinated VASST, the quality of the matching that removed differences in baseline characteristics between vasopressin- and norepinephrine-treated patients, and sensitivity analysis by excluding patients who had New York Heart Association class IV congestive heart failure in a separate analysis. Dr. Russell reports having received an investigator-initiated grant from Grifols (entitled “Is HBP a mechanism of albumin’s efficacy in human septic shock?”) that is provided to and administered by UBC. The Mahalanobis distance measures the number of standard deviations from P to the mean of D. A propensity score of the estimated probability that a patient would have received vasopressin given their key baseline characteristics was calculated because combining both the propensity score and covariate matching is superior to the use of either strategy alone [19]. How did the clinical equipoise regarding vasopressin in septic shock translate into practice in other studies? It is possible that physicians would adapt practice more quickly and more widely in the centers that coordinated large pivotal trials that were incorporated into guidelines. Terlipressin Versus Norepinephrine for Septic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. The number of matched control patients for each vasopressin-treated patient varied from one to three to increase the precision in the estimation of the differences between groups [15, 16]. Vasopressin is deficient in septic shock [1, 2] and low-dose vasopressin infusion decreased norepinephrine dose requirements and organ dysfunction in early uncontrolled [3, 4] and controlled studies that were not powered for mortality [5]. Russell JA, Walley KR, Singer J, Gordon AC, Hébert PC, Cooper DJ, Holmes CL, Mehta S, Granton JT, Storms MM, Cook DJ, Presneill JJ, Ayers D; VASST Investigators. However, terlipressin's effect on mortality is unknown. We did not assess these possible mechanisms in this clinical study. Vail EA, Gershengorn HB, Hua M, Walkey AJ, Wunsch H.

Selby JV, Lipstein SH. Since Landry and colleagues’ [1, 2] discovery of a vasopressin deficiency in septic shock, subsequent small uncontrolled [3, 4] or controlled trials [5] were the available evidence, and the use of vasopressin was uncertain in septic shock. 2) Epinephrine, phenylephrine, and vasopressin are not recommended as … Measurements and main results: Vasopressin and norepinephrine for septic shock.

Table S1. It is an important first step in moving from the VASST efficacy trial to an efficiency trial in the VASST coordinating center, which could be followed by a broader multi-center efficiency trial to compare vasopressin versus norepinephrine in clinical practice of septic shock. 2010;2(5):446–60. CONCLUSION: Serious adverse events associated with vasopressin and norepinephrine in patients who have septic shock are associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Vasopressin was likely given according to individual patient preference and likely varied widely [14]. Studies of vasopressin use in clinical practice are limited. Although there was no overall statistically significant difference in mortality, some authors [7] and the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) [8] recommend the use of vasopressin in patients who are not responsive to norepinephrine. Synthesis, transport, and storage takes 1–2 h. Normal plasma concentrations are <4 pg ml−1. Infusion of low-dose vasopressin increased vasopressin levels to medians of 73.6 pmol per liter (inter-quartile range, 58.6 to 94.7) at 6 hours and 98.0 pmol per liter (interquartile range, 67.1 to 127.8) at 24 hours (Fig. Less severe septic shock was defined as treatment with < 15 μg/min norepinephrine, and more severe septic shock was defined as treatment with ≥ 15 μg/min norepinephrine (the same definition as was used in VASST [6]). Miettinen OS. National Library of Medicine Beneficial effects of short-term vasopressin infusion during severe septic shock. Serious adverse events associated with vasopressin and norepinephrine infusion in septic shock. MCT 44152/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada. j intensive care 6, 73 (2018). We tested the hypothesis that vasopressin changed mortality compared to norepinephrine using propensity matching of vasopressin to norepinephrine-treated patients in the VASST coordinating center hospital before (SPH1) and after (SPH2) VASST was published. The day 1 vasopressin dose in SPH1 vs. SPH2 was 0.036 units/min (SD 0.009) vs. 0.032 units/min (SD 0.005), p = 0.001, significantly lower in SPH2 after VASST. 2013;369(10):892–4. 2018;2018:2786163. PubMed  Lower age and respiratory dysfunction were clinical features associated with use of vasopressin as was hospital of admission [11]. Dellinger RP, Levy MM, Carlet JM, Bion J, Parker MM, Jaeschke R, et al. Norepinephrine remains the first-line vasopressor in septic shock, although vasopressin may be initiated with potential benefits associated with earlier initiation. After excluding patients who had NYHA IV CHF and then matching, the vasopressin-treated mortality remained significantly higher (62.9%) than that of the norepinephrine-treated patients (46.4%) (p = 0.006 unadjusted; p = 0.02 adjusted) (Table 2).

Patients receiving norepinephrine … Russell JA, Lee T, Singer J, Boyd JH, Walley KR, Vasopressin, et al. Hernández G, Teboul JL, Bakker J. Norepinephrine in septic shock. COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. The use of inotropic agents was not the reason to exclude heart failure patients. After VASST, there was no difference in mortality between vasopressin- and norepinephrine-treated patients. The VASST trial (Vasopressin and Septic Shock Trial) [6] was a randomized blinded controlled trial of vasopressin vs. norepinephrine in septic shock powered for mortality. In a clinical observational cohort study, some patients with heart failure could have received vasopressin and could have been worsened by vasopressin-induced decrease in cardiac output. Crit Care. Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. We do not know the cause of mortality difference between SPH1 and SPH2, and there may be factors related to mortality other than the dose of vasopressin. J Intensive Care Med. After matching, there were 140 vasopressin-treated and 140 norepinephrine-treated patients (Table 2). The logic of the specific matching variables was to match for variables that are associated with use of vasopressin: age, gender, APACHEII score, organ dysfunction (respiratory, renal, and coagulation), use of mechanical ventilation, underlying medical vs. surgical diagnosis, and norepinephrine dose. Minerva Anestesiol. 2013;369(9):840–51. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Physicians have often been slow to adapt practice as new evidence is reported resulting in decreased compliance with guidelines and recommendations. Russel et al. N Engl J Med. Background: The optimal adjuvant vasopressor to norepinephrine in septic shock remains controversial.Objective: To compare durations of shock-free survival between adjuvant vasopressin and epinephrine.Methods: A retrospective, single-center, matched cohort study of adults with septic shock refractory to norepinephrine was conducted. Article  Matching variables were baseline age, gender, APACHE II score, organ dysfunction (respiratory, renal, and coagulation), use of mechanical ventilation, underlying medical vs. surgical diagnosis, norepinephrine dose, and propensity score. 2008;358(9):877–87. volume 6, Article number: 73 (2018) The data come from a large, multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial in which infusion and weaning of vasopressin and norepinephrine were controlled by protocol and, thus, provide us with the most extensive data set to date in which to compare the effects of vasopressin to norepinephrine infusion in septic shock. 2002;96(3):576–82. Epub 2019 Oct 23. Part of FOIA Gordon AC, Russell JA, Walley KR, Singer J, Ayers D, Storms MM, et al. Septic shock—vasopressin, norepinephrine, and urgency. The VASST randomized controlled trial showed that there was no overall difference in mortality between vasopressin- and norepinephrine-treated patients [6]. Heart failure patients were excluded because severe heart failure (NYHA class IV) is a contraindication to use of vasopressin because vasopressin can decrease cardiac output. We also thank the many dedicated clinicians (doctors, nurses, therapists, and others) who cared for these critically ill patients and comforted their families. Statistical significance was noted for p < 0.05. In this single center—VASST coordinating center hospital—propensity-matched retrospective cohort study of patients who had septic shock, patients treated with vasopressin had significantly higher mortality than norepinephrine-treated patients in the period before VASST [6] was published.

Therefore, a well-matched control group is fundamental to the validity of this non-randomized study. Infusion of vasopressin increased plasma levels of vasopressin … In our current study, before VASST was published, vasopressin was associated with increased mortality compared to norepinephrine and our study suggests—but does not prove—that after publication of VASST, physicians were more selective in prescribing vasopressin such that the difference in mortality between vasopressin- and norepinephrine-treated patients disappeared after VASST. The current study is important because it validates the results of VASST in clinical practice, albeit in the VASST coordinating center hospital. The primary outcome variable was 28-day mortality. So, skeptics interpreted that there was no benefit of vasopressin, some authors [7, 24, 25] and the Surviving Sepsis Campaign [8, 26] recommended vasopressin for patients not responding to norepinephrine, and others likely used vasopressin in patients who had less severe shock (based on the VASST stratum results). We speculated that physicians would alter vasopressin use quickly and widely in the VASST coordinating center hospital after the VASST results were known. Russell, J.A., Wellman, H. & Walley, K.R. Kampmeier TG(1), Rehberg S, Westphal M, Lange M. Author information: (1)Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, University of Muenster, Muenster, Germany.
