Episode notes
In this episode, Sophie breaks down the chaos behind pressors and blood pressure meds in EMS—what they do, when to use them, and how not to panic when that BP drops or spikes.
From norepinephrine (the reliable one) to nitroglycerin (the smooth talker), Sophie introduces the “main characters” of blood pressure management in the field. You’ll learn how to think in terms of tank, pump, and pipes, avoid common mistakes, and bring physiology back into focus on every call.
Whether you’re new to EMS or flying critical care, this episode gives you the practical knowledge—and confidence—to manage your next pressure call like a pro.
