Outcomes of vasopressin receptor agonists versus norepinephrine in adults with perioperative hypotension: A systematic review

Consensus statements recommend the use of norepinephrine and/or vasopressin for hypotension in cardiac surgery. However, there is a paucity of data among other surgical subgroups and vasopressin analogues. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare vasopressin receptor agonists with norepinephrine for hypotension among those undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. This review was prospectively registered (CRD42022316328). Literature searches were conducted by a medical librarian to November 28th, 2023, across MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and Web of Science.
