In this lesson, we start a new collection of lessons covering ICU drips, and specifically we start off talking about vasopressors. This is going to be a two part lesson. In this first part we start off talking about what vasopressors are and why they are used for our patients. We then get in to the actions of vasopressors on various receptor sites and explain the differences between these receptors. From there we move on and cover the 6 main vasopressors and talk about the specific receptors in which they act as well as some useful information relating to dosing and onset of action. We finish out the lesson with a chart comparing these vasopressors in one spot so you can have a better understanding of these differences between each pressor. The next part of this series we will be covering very important tidbits of information that come in to play when managing patients on these medication. Our hope is that by the end of this lesson you will have a better understanding of what pressors are as well as the differences between the main various vasopressors that we use.
