text: Vasopressin is an endogenous hormone that may be an ideal alternative or adjunctive to epinephrine in the setting of cardiac arrest.16,17 Vasopressin, like epinephrine, promotes selective but potent vasoconstriction of smooth muscle, but unlike epinephrine, without the potentially harmful side effects of increasing myocardial workload, therefore increasing oxygen demand and subsequent worsening of cardiac function.
