Vasopressor Therapy [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine
Vasopressor therapy represents a key part of intensive care patient management, used to increase and maintain vascular tone and thus adequate tissue perfusion in patients with shock. Norepinephrine is the preferred first-line agent because of its reliable vasoconstrictor effects, with minimal impact on heart rate, and its mild inotropic effects ...

Diagnostic values of noradrenaline administered dose, procalcitonin (PCT) and blood lactic acid for septic shock [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry
Background: Sepsis/septic shock is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt and effective treatment. Noradrenaline is a widely used vasopressor to manage septic shock, but its optimal dosage remains unclear.

Vasopressors for hypotensive shock [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016
Initial goal-directed resuscitation for hypotensive shock usually includes administration of intravenous fluids, followed by initiation of vasopressors. Despite obvious immediate effects of vasopressors on haemodynamics, their effect on patient-relevant outcomes remains controversial. This review was published originally in 2004 and was updated in 2011

Comparison of Bolus Ephedrine vs Mephentermine in the Management of Hypotension during Spinal Anaesthesia for Caesarean Section: A Randomised Clinical Trial [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023
Introduction: Ephedrine and mephentermine are synthetic sympathomimetic drugs used as vasopressors. Ephedrine has direct and indirect effects on α, b1, and b2 receptors, and it also releases endogenous norepinephrine from synaptic storage sites. This

Long‐Term Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy—A 10‐Year Follow Up Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a rare but potentially treatable cause of severe autonomic failure. Evidence guiding long‐term immunotherapy, treatment sequencing, and residual autonomic impairment is limited. We evaluated long‐term treatment response, residual autonomic dysfunction, and relapse patterns in patients with

Comparison of norepinephrine and phenylephrine boluses for the treatment of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section – A randomised controlled trial

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2019
Background and Aims: Hypotension following spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section is common in spite of adequate fluid loading. Phenylephrine is the recommended drug to treat spinal hypotension during caesarean section. Recently, norepinephrine boluses
