Do you care for critically ill patients? Then this book is for you!
Anyone who cares for critically ill patients requiring vasopressors and/or inotropes will benefit from purchasing a copy of 'The Vasopressor & Inotrope Handbook.' In this book, Dr. Eddy J. Gutierrez (@eddyjoemd) explores the questions we have all asked ourselves while caring for critically ill patients.
Questions such as:
- Why is norepinephrine the first-line vasopressor?
- Is the action of epinephrine really dose-dependent?
- Why is phenylephrine the most commonly used push-dose vasopressor?
- Which vasopressor should we discontinue first: norepinephrine or vasopressin?
- Why do septic shock patients have an intrinsic vasopressin deficiency?
- Should we be using peripheral vasopressors?
- And many more!
With over 500 different evidence-based articles cited, the data in this book will help you optimize your management of critically ill patients. Thousands of healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, nurses, paramedics, and physicians, have implemented what they learned in this book to the bedside.
