Podcast 596: Peripheral Vasopressors

Podcast 596: Peripheral Vasopressors

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Traditional teaching has shied away from using vasopressors through peripheral IVs
  • Tissue necrosis from extravasation is cited as a risk of use of vasopressors through a peripheral site
  • However, risk of extravasation is low (2-4%) and even more rarely results in significant complications
  • Using an IV that is more proximal and larger bore with monitoring can further minimize these risks
  • Starting with peripheral vasopressors in a critically ill patient appears to be without significant increased cutaneous complications compared to using a central line alone
