Vasopressors, Inotropes, and Shock Beatrice Wong, PharmD, BCPS November 1, 2011 Objectives Define types of shock. Review pharmacology of vasoactive agents. Overview of management of the different types of shock. Discuss cases. Shock Physiologic state of impaired tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery Cardinal signs • Hypotension (SBP <90 mmHg or >40 mmHg decrease from baseline) • Oliguria • Altered mental status • Metabolic acidosis • Cool, clammy skin Classification Cardiogenic Distributive Hypovolemic • Nonmechanical: Myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome, end-stage cardiomyopathy • Mechanical: Rupture of septum or free wall, mitral or aortic insufficiency, papillary muscle rupture, pericardial tamponade • • • • Sepsis Anaphylaxis Neurogenic Drug- induced • Hemorrhagic: GI bleed, trauma, internal bleeding • Nonhemorrhagic: Dehydration, sequestration, cutaneous loss Applied therapeutics: the clinical use of drugs, 7th ed.

Agent of Choice in Sepsis Surviving Sepsis Guidelines • No high quality evidence to recommend one catecholamine over another. • Dopamine or Norepinephrine as 1st line • Norepinephrine is more potent. • Dopamine may be more useful in patients with compromised systolic function. • Epinephrine suggested as first alternative in septic shock poorly responsive to 1st line tx (grade 2B) • Vasopressin may be added to Norepinephrine.
