Highlight the utility of methylene blue (MTB) infusion for extended period for refractory vasoplegia.
Hypotension refractory to vasopressor therapy in sepsis is associated with high mortality and limited therapeutic options. Dysregulated nitric oxide (NO) pathway seems to be a major driver, and, therefore, MTB, which inhibits inducible NO synthase activity and decreases cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP) accumulation by directly competing with NO by binding to soluble guanylyl cyclase, has been explored.
We describe a successful reversal of refractory septic shock with prolonged MTB infusion in a patient supported on multiple vasopressors at the highest clinical doses as well as venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO).
Current report suggests a potential role of MTB infusion in refractory vasoplegia even in advanced vasoplegic shock.

强调长时间输注亚甲蓝(MTB)治疗难治性血管麻痹的效用。
脓毒症中对血管升压药治疗无效的低血压与高死亡率及有限的治疗选择相关。一氧化氮(NO)通路失调似乎是主要驱动因素,因此,已对MTB进行了研究,MTB通过与可溶性鸟苷酸环化酶结合直接与NO竞争,从而抑制诱导型NO合酶活性并减少环磷酸鸟苷(GMP)积累。
我们描述了一名患者,在接受最高临床剂量的多种血管升压药以及静脉-静脉体外膜肺氧合(VV-ECMO)支持的情况下,通过长时间输注MTB成功逆转了难治性感染性休克。
当前报告表明,即使在晚期血管麻痹性休克中,MTB输注在难治性血管麻痹中也具有潜在作用。
