A Message From Kay....


The need for vasopressor therapy to support blood pressure is one of the most common causes for admission to an ICU. In this course we are going to take a look at the two primary ways that medications cause vascular constriction and the impact of arterial and venous constriction on overall hemodynamics. Scroll down to check out the content and enroll (a requirement for record keeping). I'll meet see you there!

Upon Completion of This Course, You Will Be Able To:


  • Describe the two mechanisms behind how vasopressors resulting in vascular constriction
  • Identify the indication, titration and potential adverse effects of vasopressors commonly used in the ICU setting
  • Describe the impact of electrolyte and acid/base balance on the effectiveness of vasopressors
