Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of restoring mean arterial pressure with vasopressin or norepinephrine on systemic hemodynamics, renal blood flow, intrarenal perfusion and oxygenation, and renal function in ovine septic acute kidney injury. DESIGN: Interventional Study. SETTING: Research Institute. SUBJECTS: Adult Merino ewes. INTERVENTIONS: Flow probes were implanted on the pulmonary and renal arteries (and the mesenteric artery in sheep that received vasopressin). Fiber-optic probes were implanted in the renal cortex and medulla to measure tissue perfusion and oxygen tension (PO2). Conscious sheep were administered Escherichia coli to induce septic acute kidney injury. Vasopressin (0.03..
