Activity Summary
You have a new patient with multiple vasoactive medications infusing, hemodynamic monitoring in place and a fluid bolus. They are still hypoperfused. Your next steps may seem uncertain. Learn how to determine which vasoactive medications are most appropriate to titrate, and when, based on your patients’ hemodynamic profile. We then discuss the intricate balance of appropriate deresuscitation without causing hypotension. Using case studies, this session walks through the nursing art of resuscitation and deresuscitation in patients with combined shock states.
Objectives
- Discuss the fundamental mechanism of action for common vasoactive and inotropic medications.
- Evaluate best medication for titration as determined by patient presentation and hemodynamic status.
- Identify de-resuscitation to prevent hypoperfusion reoccurrence.
