In this episode of the Saving Lives Podcast, we examine a groundbreaking 2017 study comparing vasopressin and norepinephrine for treating vasoplegic shock after cardiac surgery. We explore the study's compelling results, how vasopressin outperformed norepinephrine in reducing severe complications, and the potential implications for clinical practice.
