Comparison of Hemodynamic Responses to Administration of Vasopressin and Norepinephrine Under General Anesthesia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials with Trial Sequential Analysis

Objective: The authors performed a meta-analysis to determine if vasopressin improves hypotension more than norepinephrine under general anesthesia.Design: Meta-analysis.Setting: Operating room.Patients: Patients who underwent surgery, with general anesthesia.Interventions: Administration of vasopressin or norepinephrine in order to increase blood pressure.Measurements and Main Results: The primary outcome of this study was to determine if vasopressin increased mean blood pressure more effectively compared with norepinephrine for patients under general anesthesia.
