Methylene blue to treat vasoplegia due to a severe protamine reaction: a case report.

Protamine sulfate is used during coronary artery bypass graft surgery to reverse the anticoagulating effects of heparin. Vasoplegic syndrome is a state of endothelial dysregulation that produces profound vasodilatation that is refractory to vasopressors. This syndrome leads to systemic hypoperfusion and may progress to death. Up to 27% of patients after cardiac bypass may experience vasoplegia....
