The Safety and Efficacy of Push Dose Vasopressors in Critically Ill Adults

REBEL EM

1-4 The PDPs, phenylephrine and epinephrine, result in vasoconstriction and increased cardiac contractility. They can be associated with side effects such as reflex bradycardia, decreased stroke volume in phenylephrine, tachycardia and hypertension associated with epinephrine.

HIET improves contractility without increasing SVR, while vasopressin and epinephrine transiently increase SVR/MAP but worsen cardiac output in anesthetized dogs given propranolol (Holger 2007). Disposition to ICU. Insulin versus vasopressin and epinephrine to treat β-blocker toxicity. 2007;33(11):2019-2024.

to 1mg/kg/hr) Information regarding the vasopressors used in the study is as follows: Norepinephrine equivalents = norepinephrine mcg/kg/min + (phenylephrine mcg/kg/min/10) + epinephrine mcg/kg/min + (vasopressin units/min x2.5) Until further evidence presents itself, what this study offers is building upon what we do know.

1,2] Consider using a physiological marker to help identify inadvertent vascular injection, such as epinephrine. [3] If epinephrine is used, small initial doses ( <1 ug/kg) are preferred. Hemodynamics slowly begin to stabilize, and the patient is transferred to the ICU for further post-cardiac arrest care. 2022;59:42-48.
