[Anesthetic management using vasopressin for a patient complicated with septic shock].
We reported anesthetic management of a patient complicated with septic shock. Catecolamines were not effective to improve severe hypotension. Therefore, vasopressin was used and this improved the severe hypotension. Vasopressin may be useful for a patient complicated with septic shock and severe hypotension.
