Today I’m posting Dr Mark’s ICU one pager “Vasopressors”.
Dr. Mark states:
Vasopressors Demystified
#criticalCare #hemodynamics #vasopressors #shock
Shock comes in many flavors and so do vasopressors. Here’s a #OnePager summarizing my approach to pressors including when to start, which ones to use, how to administer them, and when to increase or wean. Includes my favorite pedagogical device for vasopressor: the pressor-speedometer from beta to alpha adrenergic effects..
