Question:
When administering a fluid bolus to a cardiogenic shock patient, what is our targeted systolic blood pressure? Is it similar to that of a ROSC to target 90 mmHg, or reversing hypotension and targeting 100 mmHg?
Answer:
When utilizing the Cardiogenic Shock Medical Directive, you can stop the IV fluid bolus when the patient has become normotensive (BP ‰¥ 100mmHg), after a minimum volume of 100 ml in pediatrics and 250 ml in adults (per the OBHG Companion Document).
For the ACP scope, titrate dopamine to achieve SBP ‰¥90 to <110mmHg. If discontinuing dopamine electively, do so gradually over 5-10 minutes.
