About this document
Norepinephrine Push Dose Guidelines by mohammed alkanani is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Norepinephrine (Levophed) is a vasopressor that primarily acts on alpha-adrenergic receptors to increase systemic blood pressure and coronary artery blood flow, with additional effects on beta1-receptors. It is indicated for severe hypotension and shock after fluid replacement, but has contraindications including vascular thrombosis and hypoxia. Administration requires careful monitoring due to risks of extravasation and potential side effects such as arrhythmias and tissue necrosis.
