latent, dormant, quiescent, potential mean not now showing signs of activity or existence. latent applies to a power or quality that has not yet come forth but may emerge and develop. dormant suggests the inactivity of something (as a feeling or power) as though sleeping.
However, H1N1 can progress quickly, so it is uncertain if knowing the patient had influenza would have prevented their rapid progression. Vasopressors can cause tissue ischemia if used in high doses, and I have seen necrosis of digits due to vasopressors. That being said, I have never seen limb amputations due to vasopressor use, but it could happen.
Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals.Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.he magnocellular neurons that make vasopressin are adjacent to magnocellular neurons that make oxytocin, and are similar in many respects. The similarity of the two peptides can cause some cross-reactions: oxytocin has a slight antidiuretic function, and high levels of AVP can cause uterine contractions.
