Objectives

  • Key takeaways:
  • Vasoactive medications are routinely used to restore perfusion in shock states
  • Vasoactives are administered via a central venous catheter (CVC) due to the risk of tissue injury in the event of extravasation
  • CVC use risks central line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI)
  • Peripheral administration of vasoactives may reduce CLABSI rates
  • Multiple trials have demonstrated the safe use of vasoactive infusions through a high-quality PIV catheter
