IV epoprostenol

Find IV epoprostenol in Pulmonary vasodilators. Prostacyclin receptor activation raises cAMP, dilates pulmonary/systemic vessels and inhibits platelet aggregation.

Overview

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

Prostacyclin receptor activation raises cAMP, dilates pulmonary/systemic vessels and inhibits platelet aggregation.

The paused reference covers the route (Continuous IV infusion through a dedicated delivery system.), 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: Hemodynamics, oxygenation, bleeding and infusion continuity.

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.
