235 Push-Dose Vasopressors: A Time Motion Study

In recent years, push-dose vasopressors (PDP) utilization has increased amongst providers in the emergency department (ED). In theory, PDPs are faster to prepare, compared to vasopressor drips, therefore being able to increase a patient's blood pressure to promote organ perfusion faster. The time to preparation of PDPs has yet to be described, as there are few studies looking at the benefit and utility of this therapy as a whole. This study was intended to provide a time comparison for the preparation of PDP to the time for preparation of continuous infusion vasopressors.
