Rescue therapy in septic shock--is terlipressin the last frontier?

Abstract

Use of terlipressin, an analogue of vasopressin, can be considered in septic shock patients with intractable hypotension and high cardiac output in whom fluid resuscitation and high-dose conventional catecholamines have failed. The effects of this agent on organ function are poorly evaluated in humans. The limited number of patients evaluated precludes any analysis of adverse outcomes and prognosis.
