Peripheral Vasopressors, Practically Safe: What a 250-Patient Prospective Cohort Means for Your Unit
Manage episode 519093193 series 2774944
A new prospective multicenter cohort of 250 patients with shock examines the safety and outcomes of peripheral vasopressor administration. Extravasation events were rare and clustered only after several days of infusion, while norepinephrine use and simple physiologic markers correlated with survival. In this episode, I translate the findings into bedside guardrails—which sites and gauges to use, how to monitor, and when to pivot to a central line.
