Vasopressin in haemorrhagic shock - Vasopressin vs Fluid

After having read the thread about massive transfusion protocols I received
an e-mail with the following article:

Vasopressin improves survival in a porcine model of abdominal vascular
injury
Critical Care 2007, 11:R81 doi:10.1186/cc59772007, 11:R81 doi:10.1186/cc5977
The authors conclude:
"Vasopressin, but not fluid resuscitation or saline placebo, ensured
short-term survival in this vascular injury model with uncontrolled
haemorrhagic shock in sedated pigs."

They were pigs and they were not transfused, but what does the list think
about vasopressin, maybe in conjunction with transfusion, in human
haemorrhagic shock?
