AAEM23 - When Norepinephrine Isn't Working

Norepinephrine: what isn’t it good for? But what happens when it doesn’t work? When it's not enough? How about the starting order: norepinephrine, then vasopressin, then epinephrine? Dobutamine? Calcium? Bicarbonate? Heard of methylene blue or angiotensin II? Learn when and why certain medications do and don't work in certain circumstances. It's all the situations you hope you don't see on shift, all in one heart-pounding session. This session will cover practical advice from EM intensivists about pulling out of the blood pressure nose dive in refractory shock. BYOB (bring your own bicarb). This session was recorded on Sunday, April 23, 2023 at the 29th Annual Scientific Assembly (AAEM23) in New Orleans, LA.
