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. J Med Toxicol. 2020;16(2):212-221.
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.

What They Did: Single-center, parallel, double blind, randomized controlled trial performed in a medical-surgical ICU (Mexico) Both groups received: Adjunctive vasopressin initiated at a dose of 0.03 It also reduced length of stay in ICU and hospital without adverse effects. NaCl over 6hrs once daily x3 doses Placebo: 500mL of 0.9%
Looking at the workflow of a fresh post-op open heart surgery patient, as well as what to do when it devolves into cardiac tamponade, with (returning) guest Brendan Riordan, cardiothoracic ICU PA (@concernecus) at the University of Washington, and his NP colleague Kris Ramilo (@krsrml0). Audio quality was a bit dodgy in this one; sorry all!–eds.]
Signs of baseline and/or new RV strain, such as reduced TAPSE, septal bowing, etc, as well as pericardial effusion, suggest a poor reserve for the stresses of their new ICU course. Epinephrine at lower doses is a good second line, providing inotropic support for the RV without much impact on PVR. Click here to claim your CME credit!

Check the pulse RSI= Resuscitation Sequence Intubation Hypoxia, Hypotension, and Acidosis are the reason patients code during/post intubation These patients are super high risk for all 4 Optimize first pass success – Induction agent + paralytic Unconscious patients will still have muscle tone Induction Ketamine or Etomidate at half doses (i.e.,
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.
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.
The patient received 1 mg of epinephrine IV x2 with conversion of his rhythm to ventricular fibrillation (VF) for which he was defibrillated twice in the field. He requires low-dose epinephrine to maintain his mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the 60s mmHg and is transported to the cardiothoracic (CT) ICU.
2][3] Bacterial tracheitis should be suspected over croup if nebulized racemic epinephrine or steroids do not improve the clinical course. [2][3][8] However, these patients often present with drooling and a preference for the tripod position, which is uncommon in bacterial tracheitis. [2][3]

The TEG group had a shorter ICU length of stay in the first admission. Patients exclusively managed in the ICU which decreases applicability for patients in other locations Very small sample size of 96 patients No definition was provided for exclusion criteria of significant cardiopulmonary disease. were performed.
They stated that the patient was coded for 20 minutes, including multiple doses of epinephrine, and they also gave glucose, calcium, and bicarb. As stated above, resuscitation included epinephrine, calcium, and bicarb. They achieved ROSC and wanted to transfer to our institution for post-arrest care. After ROSC achieved: Sinus rhythm.
The 48-hour group had a significantly longer length of stay in the ICU and time on mechanical ventilation amongst survivors, both of which were expected since they were kept at target temperature for longer, requiring more resources. Time to TTM was statistically significantly shorter in the IC group (2.2
Below follows a drug manual for use in the CCU (coronary care unit), ICU (intensive care unit) or ER (emergency room). Epinephrine Shock (any) Cardiac arrest Bronchospasm Anaphylaxis Bradycardia (second-line alternative) Infusion : 0.01 Most agents exhibit both vasopressor and inotropic effects (Figure 1). mg/kg) IM: (1:1000): 0.1
If it is determined that the bleeding originates from one lung it is recommended to position the patient in lateral decubitus with the bleeding lung down to avoid contamination of the contralateral lung. Portable chest X-ray may help determine from which lung the bleeding originates. 13,14 The typical regimen is 500 mg three times daily.
34 If a MAP of 65 mmHg is still not achieved, epinephrine should be added as a third agent (Figure 1). For patients with septic shock and cardiac dysfunction that are persistently hypotensive, it is appropriate to use norepinephrine and dobutamine or epinephrine alone. 32,33 Once the dose of norepinephrine is between 0.25-0.5
Chest compressions were continued, and the patient was given 1 round of epinephrine, calcium, bicarb, glucose. He made it to the ICU, however the patient unfortunately expired approximately 24 hours after ICU admission. No other cause of arrest was identified based on lab results or pan-CT scan.
He was started appropriately on vancomycin and cefepime and accepted for ICU admission but remains in the ED due to boarding and bed lock. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in ICU patients. EPINEPHRINE-INUDCED SHOCK: LEFT VENTRICULAR OUTFLOW TRACT OBSTRUCTION ON VASOPRESSORS. Curr Opin Crit Care. 2016;22(3):260-266.
Have push dose epinephrine at the bedside as induction can remove sympathetic tone and result in a vagal episode. Anyone with progressive symptoms or more findings on exam than paresthesias alone should be admitted to the hospital, likely to an ICU setting, due to the risk of decompensation. Normally, you should be able to get to 20.
PMID: 38857847 Bottom line: This before and after study demonstrates an association between early IM epinephrine and survival from cardiac arrest.

LVEDP (measured in the ICU using a Swan-Ganz or pulmonary artery catheter) is the pressure inside the left ventricle at the end of diastole, when the LV is at its fullest. Low-dose epinephrine is a strong beta-1 drug with minimal alpha-1 effects if you stay below ~0.08 Aortic diastolic blood pressure is easy enough. mcg/kg/min.
