In this lesson we take a look at the vasodilators class of medications that we will encounter working within the ICU. We start off talking about what exactly vasodilators are and then move in to talk about the different ways in which we classify these medications. We cover the site of action classification and explain the difference between the arterial vessel and venous vessel effects but also explain how most of the medications we deal with have some degree of a mixed effect on both of these vessels. Then we talk about the mechanism of action classification, which is the more common way in which we classify and identify these medications. We list all the different classes but proceed to only talk about the ones the we fine and use in drip form in the ICU. We talk about the unique characteristics of each class and then cover information regarding the medications, including dosing information, for each of them. Finally we finish up, again, covering some good to know info when dealing with vasodilators, giving you some specific things to be on the look out for when you have patients who are on these continuous drips. Our hope is that by the end of this lesson, that you will have a much better understanding of these medications and that you will be able to take something from this lesson to improve the care that you are able to provide for your patients in the Icu.
