Blood vessel assessment using computed tomography : Effects of ephedrine on uterine artery
Background: Ephedrine increased blood pressure due to the contractile properties of resistance vessels. Excessive contraction of the uterine arteries might cause fetal distress. This study was to determine the diameter of the uterine artery of female New

Circulating adrenomedullin estimates survival and reversibility of organ failure in sepsis: the prospective observational multinational Adrenomedullin and Outcome in Sepsis and Septic Shock-1 (AdrenOSS-1) study [PDF]
Background: Adrenomedullin (ADM) regulates vascular tone and endothelial permeability during sepsis. Levels of circulating biologically active ADM (bio-ADM) show an inverse relationship with blood pressure and a direct relationship with vasopressor ...

Modeling of Usual Care: Vasopressor Initiation for Sepsis With Hypotension
Usual care regarding vasopressor initiation is ill-defined. We aimed to develop a quantitative “dynamic practice” model for usual care in the emergency department (ED) regarding the timing of vasopressor initiation in sepsis.

Vasopressor therapy represents a key part of intensive care patient management, used to increase and maintain vascular tone and thus adequate tissue perfusion in patients with shock. Norepinephrine is the preferred first-line agent because of its reliable vasoconstrictor effects, with minimal impact on heart rate, and its mild inotropic effects ...
