June 13, 20187 yr Any one with experience in the use of Methylene Blue for hypotension refractory to multiple pressors?
June 27, 20187 yr No experience at all using it here, but I know its an old inhibitor of nitric oxide used in refractory vasoplegia.
June 27, 20187 yr I have no experience with this drug. I attach one letter to editor (is in spanish but you can get some references from it). http://www.analesdepediatria.org/es-azul-metileno-utilidad-el-tratamiento-articulo-S1695403310005527

Yes; I'm familiar with its use in this context from a cardiac unit I used to work in and I know it has been used in PICU for refractory hypotension with at least case reports of success, but I have not seen any data for use in neonates. When I have proposed its use in extreme cases in my current NICU, everyone is concerned that the nitric oxide inhibition will precipitate pulmonary hypertensive crisis.
