  • Title: Use of vasoactive drugs in the treatment of shock.
    Author: Berk JL.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 1975 Jun; 55(3):721-8. PubMed ID: 1135753.
    Abstract:
    The effective use of vasoactive drugs in shock requires an understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the various types and stages of shock and knowledge of the specific pharmacologic effects of each drug in the abnormal state. Vasoactive drugs should be used after the primary and secondary causes of shock have been corrected. Specific vasoactive drugs should be selected on the basis of measured hemodynamic abnormalities.
