ICU crash course (73): Vasopressin, a norepinephrine assistant!

[@rrt401]

This was a fantastic, right to the point and clearly explained concept. Thank you so much!!!!

[@solodeking]

Simple and straight to the point. Thank you. My only contribution is that it is safe to give vaspressors via peripheral lines; multiple high-quality studies support this.

Hi, I need to ask you two questions: Is it safe to use Vasopressin in a septic patient with oligouria? and I need to clarify this..From what you said in the last 5 minutes, when the MAP is reached and the Norepi is now

[@Hospitalista]

Yes, you can use vasopressin with oligouria as long as the patient was adequately resuscitated with IVF and remained hypotensive despite norepinephrine use, also vasopressin used as a fixed dose in septic shock, that means you can just stop it, no need to titrate it down
