About this episode
Dr. Sergio Zanotti discusses peripheral vasopressors with Dr. Elizabeth Munroe, focusing on their administration and related research.
In this episode, Dr. Sergio Zanotti discusses the administration of vasopressor agents through peripheral intravenous lines (or what we refer to as "peripheral vasopressors"). He is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Munroe, a practicing pulmonary/critical care physician and an Assistant Professor of Pulmonary and Critical Care at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her research interests include evidence-based resuscitation practices in early sepsis and septic shock, vasopressor administration practices, peripheral vasopressor use, and clinical trials, particularly novel, pragmatic clinical trial designs.
