Need and amount of vasopressor agents.Only one of the studies reported the need for vasopressors as a specific outcome, and a slight decrease in the requirement for these agents was evidenced between the coconut oil group and the control group, with no significant differences (38). In another study, the amount of vasoactive agents were also lower in the coconut oil group, although with no significant difference compared to the control group (43). In contrast, in the study with the lowest risk of bias, the median amounts of vasopressors were relatively higher in the intervention group, although with a non-significant difference (42).
