C03 Critical Care Pharmacology: Vasopressors, and Inotropes Educati<strong>on</strong>al Objectives: 1. Provide an understanding of what inotropic agents and vaspressors are Peter Pickkers MD, PhD 4:00-5:30 Tuesday, February 14 2. Understand the various syndromes in which vasopressors and inotropes need to be used 3. Review current literature <strong>on</strong> vasopressors and inotropic agents, of both established and new agents. C<strong>on</strong>tent Descripti<strong>on</strong>: Preload is the stretch of a muscle immediately prior to c<strong>on</strong>tracti<strong>on</strong>. In the c<strong>on</strong>text of human pathophysiology, preload is the left ventricular end diastolic fibre length which is proporti<strong>on</strong>al to left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV). This in turn is proporti<strong>on</strong>al to LVEDP. Clinically this sometimes is measured by venous pressures (JVP or CVP). The famous Starling curve relates an increase in preload to an increase in force of c<strong>on</strong>tracti<strong>on</strong> (increasing LVEDV increases cardiac output). Afterload is the pressure developed in the myocardium wall during systole. A decrease in afterload (vasodilatati<strong>on</strong>) will increase the cardiac output. and often vice versa. A positive inotropic agent will increase force of c<strong>on</strong>tracti<strong>on</strong> independent of preload and afterload. A vasopressor agent is <strong>on</strong>e that will increase vascular t<strong>on</strong>e and hence increase blood pressure. It is important to c<strong>on</strong>ceptually differentiate these two phenomena, but in the clinical situati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>e agent may have both effects. Shock can be defined as inadequate tissue oxygenati<strong>on</strong>. The various causes of shock have been divided into 4 categories:- hypovolaemic, distributive, cardiogenic and obstructive. (Note, clinically there may sometimes be overlap or a combinati<strong>on</strong>). Distributive shock is most often <str<strong>on</strong>g>from</str<strong>on</strong>g> sepsis. The most comm<strong>on</strong> use of vasopressors in ICU is in septic shock, as it is for the use of inotropic agents. Whilst there is no ideal inotropic agent, many have been used for septic shock. This holds too for vaspressor agents too, The various agents used clinically will be reviewed as will their “side effects”. It is probably safe to say most comm<strong>on</strong>ly dobutamine and norepinephrine are used in septic shock, but clinical data of new drugs is becoming available. Apart <str<strong>on</strong>g>from</str<strong>on</strong>g> the c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al agents, mechanism of acti<strong>on</strong> and clinical effects of vasopressin, potassium channel blockers and levosimendan will be presented.
