The average age was 67.3, with predominance of males (65.7%). Post-CPB vasoplegia was documented in 94 patients (12.2%). In multivariate analysis, vasoplegia was associated with age, female sex, presurgical creatinine levels, cardiopulmonary bypass time, lactate level upon admission to the ICU, and need for prothrombin complex transfusion. Of the patients who developed vasoplegia, 18 (19%) required rescue vasopressin, associated with pre-surgical intake of ACEIs/ARBs, worse Euroscore score and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time.

Shortening cardiopulmonary bypass times and minimizing products blood transfusion could reduce its development. Removing ACEIs and ARBs prior to surgery could reduce the incidence of refractory vasoplegia requiring rescue with vasopressin. The first-line treatment is norepinephrine and rescue treatment with VSP is a good choice in refractory situations. The first-line treatment of this syndrome is norepinephrine, although rescue with vasopressin is a good complement in refractory situations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94139,"journal":{"name":"Medicina intensiva","volume":"48 7","pages":"Pages 392-402"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140867143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
