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
@ICUAdvantage3 жыл бұрын
Not sure where you feel there is confusion? I'm not stating increasing afterload increases SV or CO.
@grattin3 жыл бұрын
@@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.
@ICUAdvantage3 жыл бұрын
@@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.
@grattin3 жыл бұрын
@@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.

How Do you determine dosage that you give the patient? What other factors can determine Dosage to give a patient?
@ICUAdvantage4 жыл бұрын
Well first it depends on your hospital policy and protocol. Some are very strict about where to start and titration frequencies. I've always had issues with these as they don't give room for adjustments based on rapid changes. I almost feel we need a sliding scale almost like insulin where based on variance from SBP or MAP you make changes. That said, this is a subjective determination. I talk more about some of the logic to these decisions in the next video, the 2nd part, but its going to depend on, for instance, how hypotensive your patient is. Mildly hypotensive is going to start low, and more severely hypotensive you would start at a higher dose. For example Levo, you might start at 2mcg if just falling below your goal MAP. If profoundly hypotensive, you might start at 10. Its not often that I would start higher than that, but in those situations you need to be ready to make rapid titrations up if needed. I wish there was an easy answer, but unfortunately the situations change and the ways in which different people respond to meds is also different. Hope that helps some.

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

I’ve been following you since your initial star. I am one of the preceptor for our hospital, I recommend these the new & season nurses. And always a good didactic reference. Continue thanks.

Would you say this information is steered more towards med students or pharmacy students?

Thank you so much. It is informative and easy to understand. Only thing is the writting is so small. It would be great if I can see it clearly as I am one of those who have visual memory.
