Here’s an important tip from a retired RN. Make sure that you always have your next bag ready! The worst feeling is waiting for the pharmacy or a fellow nurse to quickly mix up a bag while your patient’s BP is tanking. 😨

[@ICUAdvantage]

Yes! So true! Last thing you want is to run out, especially if you are requiring quite a bit. Always have backup bags for all pressors!

[@trishh274]

Seriously! My sister is a pharmD and she always gave me this tip to request medications early. I had a near panic attack a few days ago because pharmacy was 3 hours late getting my inotrope delivered on top of that it wasn't even made even though it was a scheduled medication >=(. The chamber of the IV line literally had a drop left before the dreaded "air in line" message!!

Hi. I’m a UK ITU Nurse. We never use any catecholamines as a fluid bag, due to the caterpillar effect of all pumps, causing a +/- sine wave effect on the receptors. We use syringe drivers with a total 50 cc fluid volume to drug concentration. This gives a linear drug infusion, thus a stabilised vasoactive effect. Typically we use Noradrenaline ‘ [norepinephrine] in 4mg: 46cc dextrose 5% giving a concentration of 80mcg/ cc, then adjust the concentration to the case’ requirement up to 0.99mcg/kg/min

[@ICUAdvantage]

[@Deron8564]

Dopamine has largely fallen to the wayside, except to treat bradycardia. In the studies, dopamine showed an increase in all-cause mortality compared to norepinephrine, and it was attributed to dopamine's propensity to cause arrhythmia.

I'm was a staff neuro RN, now turned travel RN (float pool) during COVID. I have been float pool for stepdown units and most are tele/cardiac PCU. I was never officially trained on drips even though I have been working tele-PCU for a year at several different Westcoast hospitals. They just dont assign me patients on drips because I am a traveler, (hospitals dont train new skills to travelers). Anyway, so now that now COVID has slowed, I am finding many hospitals now expect telemetry/PCU unit travelers to have titrating drip experience. I am self learning in your course. I find it interesting that I sound like the only PCU RN in these "ICU" comments, lol. Thank You ICU Advantage =)

[@ICUAdvantage]

Hey, a lot of the stuff that I talk about on this channel also applies to areas outside of ICU, including PCU/Tele. Certainly some of the stuff doesn't, but it can also be helpful to learn more about what your patients will need or did need before coming to you too.

In Belgium nurses typically make their infusions themselves but in syringes of 50 ml. In our hospital our standard dose of norepinephrine is 4mg/40ml in a 50ml syringe in a syringe pump. 0.05mcg/kg/min is about 2 ml/hours... Every drip will be replaced within 24 hours if not empty.

Thank you for such a helpful video ! Do you happen to have a video with the breakdown of the meanings of the receptors and agonist ? I’m having a hard time with thoroughly understanding the patho on that end of things

[@grattin]

hey eddie, I think that there is some slight confusion. vasoconstriction increases blood pressure by increasing total peripheral resistance (TPR) not by increasing cardiac output. the equation is MAP = CO x TPR. stroke volume is only increased by venous return. increasing afterload actually decreases your stroke volume

[@ICUAdvantage]

Not sure where you feel there is confusion? I'm not stating increasing afterload increases SV or CO.

[@grattin]

@@ICUAdvantage at around 3:30 - 3:45 your diagram implies that SV is a product of three things including afterload. and the voiceover states pressers increase BP by 'impacting' afterload (which i took to mean increasing afterload), thus implying that increasing afterload increases SV which increases CO and thus increases MAP. i think it would be more correct to talk about presser effect on BP under TPR (which you have labelled yourself SVR). i'm being pedantic i know but ICU doctors are very particular. i'm happy to be corrected if i am the one confused.

[@ICUAdvantage]

​@@grattin So when I start talking about the breakdown of the CO equation, I made the transition from talking about increasing BP by increasing SVR to then talk about some of the other effects of pressor usage. I transitioned into breaking down the components of cardiac output to point out the other areas that are impacted that can have positive and negative effects on cardiac output. After breaking down the components, I merely pointed out that the afterload is the primary effect of our pressor usage, but then went on to talk about the impacts to HR, Contractility, and Preload. The point was to also explain about the other effects that will impact our hemodynamics, for good or bad. The purpose was to transition into talking about the adrenergic receptors, and others, that are activated with different pressors, to be able to understand some of the underlying differences between lets say epi and levo. Sorry if that wasn't clear from the video.

[@grattin]

@@ICUAdvantage no worries thanks for your explanation. i think i understand where the confusion was now... i thought you were saying increasing afterload increases stroke volume but you were only relating afterload to BP, not SV at that point in the video. it seems we were in agreement the whole time just took the scenic route getting on the same page, lol. awesome channel by the way.
