@minutemurse: Do you know the difference between Norephinephrine and Epinephrine? Let's talk about how Levophed and Epi affect the blood vessels and heart contractility. Check out my Profile for all my Study Guides! This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only and doesn't replace real medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always follow your local orders, scope, or protocols. Views are entirely my own! #nurseeducation #icunurse #norepinephrine
I’m a post-op cardiac surgery nurse and I loooove my pressors, for sure, but if I had to choose, everyone would be on a lil bit of epi for the first 12-18 hours. The heart is stunned from plege, and epi helps with ⬆️contractility —> ⬆️cardiac output/index. Unless the patient is hypertensive, I’m always titrating epi off last.

TECH AND WELL :
but the beta 1 effect does it work at a certain dose because sometimes when u infuse adrenaline to a hypontensive patient even before taking blood pressure u can tell it has improved just by looking at a declining pulse rate however much the infusion is still running, could it be dose related . I would expect it to also stay high

My protocols call for 2-10 mcg/min for epi, norepi is 3-20 mcg/min 👀
