Epinephrine for septick shock: Why not ?


"............................

In my practice, I use epinehrine as a first line agent vasopressor. It is 10 times cheaper than Norepinehrine (in my country) and also provides cardiac support for which I don't have to worry about dobutamine or close followup of cardiac index. No single study has ever shown that which vasopressor is superior. Epinephrine for septick shock: Why not ?"
