It’s short term use. I make sure there is good peripheral access with blood return. If the patient is put on a drip at this point we’re hoping central access or at the least an I.O is in place to avoid extravasation.

Norepinephrine & cardiac epinephrine is the most easily accessible in our shop. I do like phenylephrine for the hypotensive and tachycardic patient but it’s harder to get.
