Vasopressors (Part 1) - ICU Drips

Thank you guys so much for watching! Please leave us a like if you enjoyed the video. We truly do appreciate it! Also we love hearing your comments so feel free to tell us what you think of the video. We hope that after this lesson, you will have a good understanding of what vasopressors are, how they have their effect on different receptors and the be able to identify and recognize the 6 major vasopressor agents that we use, to include their mechanism of action and the standard dosages and titration frequencies.

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. 😨

I am an ex ICU RN needing to go back to ICU to help out with potential COVID 19 influx here in Australia. Just wanted to say thank you for these lectures. They're excellent brush up on critical care basics.

I’m a new grad and have been in the ICU for a year, this has really helped me understand why providers choose certain pressors over others for these patients

Thank you! I have a new grad interview for my dream job in an ICU (goal is flight nursing), but my preceptorship was med-surg. Trying to learn as much as I can and this format is exactly how I learn best!

Thank you, you are a born teacher. Keep up updating us about ICU environment and what we should basically know. I find these videos very helpful, now I am confident to use inotropes in ICU.

Thankyou, fantastic and very easy to follow. Easy to integrate back with physiology and med/pharm also if you are refreshing, studying or updating at same time...

Thank you for the video. It was extremely helpful. I'm a nurse obtaining my BSN and am interested in ICU!

When I was a young nurse, many years ago, we only used Dopamine drips. Patients got incredible tachycardia. I also remember Isuprel gtts for severe asthma. Glad that we have other options now.

i am a student nurse extern in the CTICU and i absolutely love this channel. Any chance i get im watching a new video, rewatching past videos and taking notes. i've learned so much on my unit alongside watching these videos. Thank you, thank you and thank you!!!

Started my first rotation as an intern in the SICU. Your videos are really helping me get back that foundational knowledge that I learned all the way back in my first year of school. Thank you!

Thank you so much for uploading this new series! When I first started in the ICU, these medications were new to me, but these videos have helped me to better understand the pressors than the way I thought myself!

😱Muito obrigado pelo que fez pela minha mãe,dá gosto ver todos os seus vídeos doutor. Você transmite uma energia bacana O único homem que nunca comete erros é aquele que nunca faz coisa alguma. Não tenha medo de errar, pois você aprenderá a não cometer o mesmo erro duas vezes.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel, I learn more from your lessons than I did during my CVICU Residency (ended up going to ED afterwards but I'm looking to go back to ICU). I have been watching these on repeat since I found your channel and I recommend it to EVERY new RN or student RN. PLEASE keep up the great work!!!

Hi Dear,

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

So informative with simplified explanation. Thank you so much !

This is my second week of orientation in the ICU. ICU Advantage has been a wonderful resource to me. Thank you very much. Will definitely recommend.

Really like the chart at the end and look forward to more about where & when to use them.

Headed back to the icu after being out of it for a bit, needed a refresh on dosing etc... this was prefect!!! Thank you
