Because they focused on the cardiovascular system and its support we summarize them here. In particular these papers highlighted the management of refractory septic shock extracorporeal support outcome markers in sepsis and outcome after cardiac arrest. Introduction In 2006 the paediatric intensive care PIC cardiovascular-related subjects that were discussed in Critical Care included sepsis viral infection extracorporeal circulatory support and outcome after cardiopulmonary arrest. Sepsis Treatment In children death and morbidity from sepsis and septic shock are particular problems 1 . Hypotensive catecholamine-resistant shock is increasingly recognized as a cause of death in the post-resuscitation period. Arginine-vasopressin AVP and terlipressin TP are capable of improving blood pressure but not without adverse effects such as limb gangrene 2-6 . The action of AVP is mediated via two receptors vascular V1 leading to arterial vasoconstriction and renal tubular V2. Landry and colleagues 2 reported the beneficial effect of AVP in critically ill adults with septic shock resistant to inotropic therapy. AVP and TP have now been studied in both adults and children as rescue therapy for catecholamine-resistant shock 2-5
