Interventions

Ephedrine

Find Ephedrine in Vasopressors. Mixed sympathomimetic: releases norepinephrine and directly stimulates alpha/beta receptors, raising vascular tone, rate and contractility.

Overview

Open Interventions → Vasopressors. Choose Off, Low, Medium, High. Effect levels and flow targets represent illustrative modeled responses; they are not clinical dose instructions.

Mixed sympathomimetic: releases norepinephrine and directly stimulates alpha/beta receptors, raising vascular tone, rate and contractility.

The paused reference covers the route (Slow monitored IV bolus.), example doses/settings, indications, adverse effects, contraindications/precautions and monitoring. These details are available after the intervention is selected.

What to monitor in the reference: BP, ECG and response. Catecholamine depletion and repeat-dose kinetics are not modeled.

Step by step

  1. Inspect the untreated disease and active treatment count.
  2. Apply the intervention and compare pressures, forward flow, rhythm and congestion.
  3. Pause for its full reference; use Off or Interventions Reset to restart the comparison.
