7. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 1519 human patients with cardiac arrest from five randomized controlled trials that compared vasopressin and epinephrine. Provides results that did not show a clear advantage with vasopressin, but that it is at least equivalent to epinephrine.
8. A nicely done study comparing the effects of norepinephrine and vasopressin on systemic, splanchnic, and renal circulations in anesthetized dogs under basal conditions and with endotoxic shock. Restoration of renal blood flow and oxygen delivery in the vasopressin, but not the norepinephrine group, and the systemic and splanchnic hemodynamic comparable between the two groups.
