International Survey on the Use of Arginine Vasopressin in the Postoperative Management of Single Ventricle Patients.

ABSTRACT: Management of patients with single ventricle physiology after surgical palliation is challenging. Arginine vasopressin has gained popularity in recent years as a non-catecholamine vasoactive medication due to its unique properties. However, data regarding its use in the pediatric population is limited. Therefore, we designed a survey to explore whether and how clinicians use this medication in intensive care units for the postoperative management of single ventricle patients. This international survey aimed to assess usage, practices, and concepts related to arginine vasopressin in pediatric intensive care units worldwide.
