What is vasopressor therapy?
Vasopressor therapy is a medical strategy that aims to improve blood pressure and other hemodynamic parameters by utilising various drugs that act to promote the constriction of various vascular pathways.
Blood pressure that may require vasopressor drug?
hypertension
Is amiodarone a vasopressor?
No, amiodarone is not a vasopressor. It is an antiarrhythmic medication primarily used to treat various types of cardiac arrhythmias. While it can affect blood pressure and heart rate, its main function is to stabilize electrical activity in the heart rather than to constrict blood vessels or increase blood pressure like a vasopressor would.
Is oxygen a vasopressor?
No, oxygen is not a vasopressor. Oxygen is a gas that is essential for life and is often used to support respiration in various medical conditions by increasing the levels of oxygen in the blood, but it does not have direct vasoconstrictive effects like vasopressors do.
Does alcohol cause hypertension?
Yes, vasopressor effect due to increase in catecholamines.
Which vasopressor exhibits pure alpha effects and thus increases blood pressure without driving up heart rate?
phenylephrine
What is the minimum systolic blood pressure one should attempt to achieve with fluid intotropic or vasopressor administration in a hypotensive post cardiac arrest patient who achieves ROSC?
90
Why dopamine prefer as vasopressor agent?
Dopamine is preferred as a vasopressor agent primarily due to its dose-dependent effects on blood vessels and heart function. At low doses, it stimulates dopaminergic receptors, leading to renal vasodilation and improved blood flow to the kidneys. As the dose increases, it activates beta-1 adrenergic receptors, enhancing cardiac contractility and heart rate, while at higher doses, it causes vasoconstriction via alpha-adrenergic receptors. This versatility makes dopamine useful in various clinical scenarios, particularly in managing shock and heart failure.
