Tiny Hearts, Big Challenges: Vasoactive Therapy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Presenter:
Emily Davis, PharmD
PGY-2 Critical Care Pharmacy Resident
Piedmont Columbus
Pharmacist Objectives:
• Define neonatal hypotension and understand the utility of other assessments of perfusion besides blood pressure
• Explain the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life and difficulties that can occur resulting in hemodynamic instability
• Analyze etiologies of hemodynamic instability in neonates and which vasoactive would be preferred
Pharmacy Technician Objectives:
o Define neonatal hypotension and identify common indicators of perfusion beyond blood pressure (e.g., urine output, capillary refill, lactate).
o Describe the normal transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life and recognize factors that may lead to hemodynamic instability in neonates.
o Identify common causes of hemodynamic instability in neonates (e.g., sepsis, hypovolemia, cardiac dysfunction).
o Recognize commonly used vasoactive medications in neonatal care and describe their general purposes.
o Identify basic monitoring and safety considerations associated with vasoactive therapies in neonatal patients.
