Vasopressin is typically administered with intravenous fluids and norepinephrine to restore normal blood pressure in adults in vasodilatory shock. Vasopressin use helps reduce the requirement of norepinephrine which increases the heart rate and its force of contractions, while vasopressin tends to lower heart rate and cardiac output.
In patients with vasodilatory shock vasopressin in therapeutic doses increases systemic vascular resistance and mean arterial blood pressure and reduces the dose requirements for norepinephrine. Vasopressin tends to decrease heart rate and cardiac output. The pressor effect is proportional to the infusion rate of exogenous vasopressin.

The most straightforward formula for the drip rate is as follows: Drip rate (mL/hour) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time. However, the drip rate can also be calculated using the drop rate formula (this function is available in the advanced mode of our gtt in min calculator): Drip rate = Drops per hour / Drop factor, or. Drip rate = (Drops per

There are two ways to calculate a Lidocaine drip rate: 1. Use the drip rate formula and perform the mathematical operations to find the exact drip rate. X = (Desired Dose x Drip Set) / Drug Concentration. 2. Use the Lidocaine clock to quickly obtain a relatively accurate drip rate. Calculating a Lidocaine Drip Using the Drip Rate Formula
