So, I need to make sure I'm not losing my mind. But, during residency I recall running vasopressin at 0.5 to 1 U/Min (yes minute) for short periods of time coming off of a long bypass run on a tough patient.
Literature suggests max of 0.1u/Min.
Am I imagining things here? I'm 99% positive we did this and I had some great cardiac attendings. It was not a common thing but when running Milrinone and for long repairs (aortic dissections for example), we did need to run pretty aggressively.
Thoughts?
