Open Access Abstract Introduction We sought to determine and compare the effects of vasopressin fluid resuscitation and saline placebo on haemodynamic variables and short-term survival in an abdominal vascular injury model with uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock in pigs. Methods During general anaesthesia a midline laparotomy was performed on 19 domestic pigs followed by an incision width about 5 cm and depth cm across the mesenterial shaft. When mean arterial blood pressure was below 20 mmHg and heart rate had declined progressively experimental therapy was initiated. At that point animals were randomly assigned to receive vasopressin U kg n 7 fluid resuscitation 25 ml kg lactated Ringer s and 25 ml kg 3 gelatine solution n 7 or a single injection of saline placebo n 5 . Vasopressin-treated animals were then given a continuous infusion of U kg per min vasopressin .
