Push Dose Pressors for EMS: Epinephrine and Norepinephrine

Sometimes a small dose of epinephrine or norepinephrine can keep a patient from becoming hypotensive during intubation, or may help bridge the patient to a continuous infusion. Dr. Pickett talks about simple methods for mixing and administering push doses of these pressors and how to administer the infusion.
NOTE: It is ASSUMED you already know the indications, contraindications, and side effects of these drugs. This video is NOT a comprehensive review of these medications.

For the the push dose epi it doesnt matter what fluid is used as long as we have 1 ml of epi. And from there we can push 20mcg from there

Hey, can someone explain to me how the concentration of the normal saline became 8mcg/ml after injecting 2mL of the med in the bag?

[@robacox3647]

What a great presentation. Very informative. The person presenting however, is slovenly in appearance and probably smells bad.

Great Video! Hope you create more content.

Why not add 2.5 ml of 1:1000 to the 250 ml bag instead? Then, you keep the same 10 mcg per ml concentration. Less confusing.
