Grand Rounds Recap: Critical Care Symposium - 2/4/15

Norepinephrine seems to be on top in terms of vasopressor of choice currently (consider it your "easy button")
Per Surviving Sepsis Guidelines, Norepi has level 1B evidence as a first line pressor, while Epi is your second line with level 2B evidence and Vasopressin is currently ungraded in terms of evidence level
There have been 4 RCT's confirming that Norepi has no mortality difference from Epi and given it's safer side effect profile, use it regularly
