daily intake of arginine vasopressin (AVP) Explanation: "A arginina-vasopressina (AVP) tem sido amplamente utilizada no tratamento do choque vasodilatador. Entretanto, há muitas questões relativas ao seu uso clínico, especialmente em altas doses, pois sua utilização pode estar associada a efeitos cardíacos adversos. (...) nossos dados confirmam que a AVP deveria ser usada cuidadosamente e sob rígida monitoração hemodinâmica na prática clínica, especialmente se doses maiores do que 0,01 U/kg/min forem necessárias." http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0066... "Vasopressin, also named antidiuretic hormone (ADH), arginine vasopressin (AVP) or argipressin, is a hormone synthesized as a peptide prohormone in neurons in the hypothalamus, and is converted to AVP." Note: I suggest checking with the client on what AVP stands for anyway. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-07-16 17:13:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This Wikipedia article states that "vasopressin infusions are also used as second line therapy in septic shock patients not responding to fluid resuscitation or infusions of catecholamines (e.g., dopamine or norepinephrine)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasopressin This article on Globo.com explains what a septic shock is, and it says that it's common in cancer patients: http://g1.globo.com/ciencia-e-saude/noticia/2011/12/entenda-...
