This reference material addresses the practical task of titrating vasoactive drugs in an intensive care unit setting. It provides information for clinicians who manage patients requiring vasopressor and inotrope support. The content covers specific drug profiles and titration methods.
The material includes details on seven vasoactive drugs, their receptor pharmacology, and standard administration guidelines. It also offers information on selecting first-line agents based on shock type and managing extravasation events. Four worked titration cases are included to illustrate the application of the methods.
What is inside
Taken from the product sheet on our store page, unchanged:
A working reference for every vasoactive drip you'll actually titrate: norepinephrine, epinephrine, vasopressin, phenylephrine, dopamine, dobutamine and milrinone, each with receptor pharmacology, standard concentration, starting dose, titration range and key cautions. Section 5 lays out evidence-based first-line selection by shock type straight from the trials that changed practice -- Surviving Sepsis Campaign 2021 (norepinephrine first-line, stepwise addition of fixed-dose vasopressin then epinephrine), the SOAP II trial (why dopamine fell out of first-line use, with a specific mortality signal in cardiogenic shock), and VASST (vasopressin added to norepinephrine). A dedicated section covers peripheral vs. central administration and step-by-step extravasation management with the phentolamine antidote protocol, sourced from a systematic review of published extravasation cases. Four fully worked titration cases apply the whole method. Every recommendation cites its original trial or review with a DOI or PMID. Includes a companion Excel workbook with live mcg/kg/min to mL/hr dose-rate formulas for all 6 weight-based agents.
