Most common vasopressors

    • What are the different types of vasopressors?

      Vasopressors are I.V. med-ications that produce arteriole vasoconstric-tion via positive inotropic or chronotropic ef-fects that lead to increased systemic vascular resistance and BP. Common vasopressors are norepinephrine, epinephrine, phenylephrine, and vasopressin.


    • What is a good map for a vasopressor?

      Maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg or as needed to achieve adequate end-organ perfusion (e.g. cerebral perfusion pressure, abdominal perfusion pressure, urinary output). Norepinephrine is the first line agent when vasopressors are indicated. Epinephrine, phenylephrine, and vasopressin should not be used as first line agents.



    • When should a vasopressor be used in a low cardiac output state?

      In low cardiac output states, the use of an inotropic agent should be considered. Vasopressors should only be initiated with/after adequate resuscitation is provided with appropriate volumes of crystalloids, colloids, and/or blood products. Vasopressors are not recommended in the initial stabilization of hemorrhagic shock.

      Acute adrenal insufficiency of critical illness (AICI) is a common and largely unrecognized disorder in critically ill patients with a reported incidence of up to 77% (2). The most common features of AICI are hypotension refractory to fluids and vasopressors and/or delayed weaning from mechanical ventilation.
