Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasopressin can be used for hemodynamic support in vasodilatory shock due to its vasoconstrictive properties, as an alternative to the second dose of epinephrine in pulseless arrest, and to treat prolonged cardiac arrest after the administration of epinephrine, as it can provide additional vasoconstriction and help in cases where epinephrine is ineffective.
