The Elective Rotation: A Critical Care Hospital Pharmacy Podcast
Show notes at pharmacyjoe.com/episode1006. In this episode, I'll discuss a review article on the safety of peripheral vasopressors and hypertonic saline. The post 1006: Any Port in a Storm (For a Little While At Least) – The Safety of Peripheral Vasopressors and Hypertonic Saline appeared first on Pharmacy Joe.
The early initiation of vasopressors, ideally within the first hour of diagnosing septic shock, is emerging as a preferred strategy. This approach offers a multimodal action with potential benefits, including reduced morbidity and mortality. Prompt vasopressor therapy is crucial for effective management in septic shock patients. To dive deeper into the timing and administration of vasopressors, join us for our next podcast! Michele Chew and Mathieu Jozwiak will guide us through the essentials—don't miss it!
In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and JP Kolcun, a neurosurgery resident, delve into the complexities of spinal trauma. They discuss the differences between spinal shock and neurogenic shock, the assessment and management of penetrating and blunt spinal injuries, and the critical importance of addressing secondary injuries. The conversation emphasizes the need for timely intervention and the nuances of trauma care in both field and hospital settings. This conversation delves into the complexities of spinal cord injury treatment, emphasizing the importance of timely surgical decompression, understanding spinal cord perfusion, and the role of intrathecal pressure. The discussion highlights the need for optimizing spinal cord perfusion pressure and the implications of using vasopressors. Innovations in treatment, including the potential for intrathecal medication delivery and advancements in brain-computer interfaces, are explored as future avenues for improving patient outcomes. Takeaways Spinal shock is a neurologic phenomenon, while neurogenic shock is hemodynamic. Penetrating spinal cord injuries are often more severe than blunt injuries. Immediate stabilization and ABCs are crucial in trauma care. Understanding the difference between spinal shock and spinal cord injury is vital. Secondary injury can worsen outcomes if not addressed promptly. Timely decompression of the spinal cord can improve recovery chances. Assessment of spinal stability is essential in blunt trauma cases. The presence of a bulbocavernous reflex can indicate spinal cord injury. Norepinephrine is preferred for treating neurogenic shock. Avoid hypotension to prevent further complications in spinal injuries. The timing of surgical decompression can significantly impact recovery. Surgical decisions must consider the overall health of the patient, not just the injury. Spinal cord perfusion is critical for recovery post-injury. Intrathecal pressure varies and can affect spinal cord perfusion. Targeting spinal cord perfusion pressure may improve outcomes over traditional MAP goals. Vasopressors can constrict blood vessels, potentially reducing perfusion to the spinal cord. Innovative treatments, such as lumbar drains, can enhance spinal cord perfusion. Research is ongoing into the use of intrathecal medications for spinal cord injury. The ultimate goal is to improve quality of life for spinal cord injury patients. Advancements in technology may lead to breakthroughs in treating chronic spinal cord injuries.

Today's episode is the first in a series of three that focus on inotropic and vasopressor medications used within anaesthetic practice. During this episode, we discuss metaraminol, ephedrine, phenylephrine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. There's one section of our episode where we thought it important to clarify what we're saying, as to out ears it sounds a little confusing. During our discussion about adrenaline, we state that both noradrenaline and adrenaline have the same affinity for beta-1 adrenoceptors. We then advise that the reason for the inotropic and chronotropic effects of adrenaline - not seen with noradrenaline - are because adrenaline has much greater affinity for beta-2 adrenaceptors than noradrenaline.Resources for today's episode:StatPearls:Inotropes and vasopressors by D.

Cardiac output equals heart rate times stroke volume… but what does that really mean and how does it apply to the bedside? This formula (CO = HR x SV) is crucial for nurses to understand in the application of vasopressors and inotropes, so why is it so difficult to memorize their role in improving cardiac output?This episode is dedicated to breaking down these life-saving medications so you can not only memorize their expected effect on vital signs, but more importantly, understand how they work in the body. Host Sarah Lorenzini provides a comprehensive lesson in these three classes of medications: vasopressors, inopressors and inodilators. She covers how each affects heart rate and stroke volume, diving into the alpha and beta adrenergic receptors that impact cardiac output.Sarah also shares memory aids to help you remember these concepts and apply them to your clinical decision making.Tune in now to learn the basics of vasopressors and inotropes!Topics discussed in this episode:The role of sympathomimetics to improve cardiac outputAdrenergic and vasopressin receptorsVasopressor types and medicationsMentioned in this episode:AND If you are planning to sit for your CCRN and would like to take the Critical Care Academy CCRN prep course you can visit https://www.ccrnacademy.com and use coupon code RAPID10 to get 10% off the cost of the course!Rapid Response and Rescue Intro CourseCONNECT

Contributor: Travis Barlock MD Educational Pearls: Three categories of pressors: inopressors, pure vasoconstrictors, and inodilators Inopressors: Epinephrine - nonselective beta- and alpha-adrenergic agonism, leading to increased cardiac contractility, chronotropy (increased heart rate), and peripheral vasoconstriction. Dose 0.1mcg/kg/min. Levophed (norepinephrine) - more vasoconstriction peripherally than inotropy; useful in most cases of shock. Dose 0.1mcg/kg/min. Peripheral vasoconstrictors: Phenylephrine - pure alpha agonist; useful in atrial fibrillation because it avoids cardiac beta receptor activation and also in post-intubation hypotension to counteract the RSI medications. Start at 1mcg/kg/min and increase as needed. Vasopressin - No effect on cardiac contractility. Fixed dose of 0.4 units/min. Inodilators are useful in cardiogenic shock but often not started in the ED since patients mostly have undifferentiated shock Dobutamine - start at 2.5mcg/kg/min. Milrinone - 0.125mcg/kg/min.

CardioNerds (Daniel Ambinder) join Dr. Tomio Tran, Dr. Vid Yogeswaran, and Dr. Amanda Cai from the University of Washington for a break from the rain at the waterfront near Pike Place Market. They discuss the following case: A 46-year-old woman presents with cardiac arrest and was found to have cor triatriatum sinistrum (CTS). CTS is a rare congenital cardiac malformation in which the left atrium is divided by a fenestrated membrane, which can restrict blood flow and cause symptoms of congestive heart failure. Rarely, the condition can present in adulthood. To date, there have been no cases of sudden cardiac death attributed to CTS. Dr. Jill Steiner provides the E-CPR for this episode. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, student doctor Akiva Rosenzveig. CardioNerds is collaborating with Radcliffe Cardiology and US Cardiology Review journal (USC) for a ‘call for cases', with the intention to co-publish high impact cardiovascular case reports, subject to double-blind peer review. Case Reports that are accepted in USC journal and published as the version of record (VOR), will also be indexed in Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

Case Media - A Sinister Cause of Sudden Cardiac Death – University of Washington A 40-year-old woman with a history of recurrent exertional syncope had sudden loss of consciousness while kissing her partner. The patient received bystander CPR while 911 was called. EMS arrived within 10 minutes of the call and found the patient apneic and unresponsive. Initial rhythm check showed narrow complex tachycardia at a rate of 136 BPM. ROSC was eventually achieved. A 12-lead ECG showed that the patient was in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate. The patient was intubated and brought to the emergency department. The patient spontaneously converted to sinus rhythm en route to the hospital. In the emergency department, vital signs were remarkable for hypotension (76/64 mmHg) and sinus tachycardia (110 BPM). The physical exam was remarkable for an inability to follow commands. Laboratory data was remarkable for hypokalemia (2.5 mmol/L), transaminitis (AST 138 units/L, ALT 98 units/L), acidemia (pH 7.12), and hyperlactatemia (11.2 mmol/L). CT scan of the chest revealed a thin membrane within the left atrium. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed normal biventricular size and function, severe tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary artery systolic pressure of 93 mmHg, and the presence of a membrane within the left atrium with a mean gradient of 25 mmHg between the proximal and distal left atrial chambers. Vasopressors and targeted temperature management were initiated. The patient was able to be re-warmed with eventual discontinuation of vasopressors, however she had ongoing encephalopathy and seizures concerning for hypoxic brain injury. There was discussion with the adult congenital heart disease team about next steps in management, however the patient was too sick to undergo any definitive treatment for the intracardiac membrane within the left atrium. The patient developed ventilator associated pneumonia and antibiotics were initiated. The patient ultimately developed bradycardia and pulseless electrical activity; ROSC was unable to be achieved, resulting in death. Autopsy was remarkable for the presence of a fenestrated intracardiac membrane within the left atrium and lack of other apparent congenital heart defects. There was right ventricular hypertrophy and pulmonary artery intimal thickening with interstitial fibrosis suggestive of pulmonary hypertension. There were bilateral acute subsegmental pulmonary emboli present. The cause of death was declared to be arrhythmia in the setting of pulmonary hypertension and right s...

It's not uncommon to use push-dose vasopressors for blood pressure management in anesthesia practice. Maybe even more so now than in the past. Jeremy and Sass talk about the various options and situations for blousing vasopressors, and perhaps most importantly which one to use. In fact, recently there was a Journal Course in the AANA Journal talking about the increased (and safe) use of push dose Norepinephrine which they review in this episode. Here are some of the things you'll learn on this show: Why we're administering push-dose vasopressors more often now. (2:18) Different vasopressors that we use. (7:09) Here's our scenario for treatment for this episode. (10:45) What the research tells us. (13:03) Comparing phenylephrine to ephedrine.

We're back with Season 4! Sorry for the unplanned hiatus. Today we talk about the CLOVERS trial, which tested the hypothesis that early vasopressors and restrictive fluid would be superior to liberal fluids plus rescue vasopressors. We also looked at the TRANSFORM-HF study, which compared torsemide and furosemide in congestive heart failure, the PREVENT CLOT study, which compared aspirin to enoxaparin for VTE prophylaxis after a traumatic fracture, and the AID-ICU study, which compared haloperidol to placebo in the treatment of ICU delirium.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: There are two common options for push-dose vasopressor: phenylephrine and epinephrine. Both have been studied in the setting of the OR, but are lacking data in emergency room utilization. A recent retrospective study at one hospital compared the two options for effectiveness and safety. The data showed phenylephrine raised systolic pressure an average 26 points while epinephrine raised the systolic pressure higher, an average of 33 points. Additionally, the same study showed dosing errors were more common in epinephrine. The error rates were 13% and 2% when using premixed syringes of epinephrine and phenylephrine respectively. However, overall no increase in adverse outcomes were reported between the two drugs in this study. References Nam E, Fitter S, Moussavi K.

In this episode Drs. Weiner and Rajgarhia discuss commonly used vasopressors and inotropic agents used in neonates.
This episode discussed two major concepts, the optimal blood pressure target for trauma patients and the use of vasopressors in trauma (WHAT!). We look at the use of permissive hypotension in trauma and discuss its applications and indications as well as its history. This of course is merely a prelude to our discussion of the use of pressors in trauma, which many of us know is true sacrilege... or is it? We examine the question through the lens of the AVERT-SHOCK trial and discuss this in-depth.

As we kick off a new academic year with our new surgical interns, we have put together a quickshot podcast series on the management of critically ill patients to help them get up and running when preparing to take call. In this first episode, we tackle the selection of vasopressors with one of our local trauma and critical care faculty members, Dr. Andrew Stephen, MD. In the coming weeks, we will be continuing this quickshot series on topics such as fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, and sedation. If you have topics you would like to hear us put together for this series, please reach out to me at kenneth_lynch@brown.edu
